"Young master, why did you hire a new servant?" Sebastian asked while serving his master's afternoon tea.
Ciel sipped his Chai tea, "It's pitiful to see one on the street. Filthy."
Sebastian leaned closer to Ciel "Surely that can't be the only reason you took him in young master. "
"The kid seems connected to the case, " Ciel replied nonchalantly "I Want you to keep an eye on him"
"Yes my lord."
Ciel Phantomhive was the Queen's guard dog and the owner of the Funtom Company the famous manufacturer of toys and sweets. He had just employed a new member to his household. A boy of around the same age with grown, unkempt hair.
The boy had pitch black hair, the color of the midnight sky, and a single exposed doe-like eye that was a brilliant lilac set in his doll-like face.
Ciel had found him on the street. Sebastian was was currently off investigating the new case. And Ciel was on a hurry looking for leads near the first murder scene. A seedy part of town where prostitution and other vices were rampant.
As Ciel walked by he caught the sight of another useless beggar however this beggar seemed different...
The beggar was painted a crimson red, A dirty cloth covered his left eye, A makeshift bandage. The beggar was definitely male as he was dressed in old hand me down male garments which were soaked in blood. Ciel bent down to examine the body. Just then an eye fluttered open. And looked up at ciel.
Ciel and the beggar held eye contact. Cerulean meeting lilac.
Ciel had left his back open and soon enough the local thugs tried to ambush Ciel. But before ciel could call on Sebastian, a single paring knife was lodged in the chest of the most muscular thug and the rest scrambled in fear. The leader was killed.
Ciel quickly determined the killer through the direction of the knife throw and realised it was the boy. Ciel removed the knife from the dead body and inspected the kill. The beggar boy had a scared expression on his face and inched away from Ciel.
"It's okay. You can trust me." Ciel smiled down at the trembling form of the boy. "What's your name?"
"I don't have one, kind sir."
"Choose one for yourself then."
"Levi sir. My name is Levi"
Ciel offered the boy to become his servant. The boy was an asset due to his knife throwing accuracy. Even Mey Rin could not shoot targets as cleanly.
Ciel led the boy to his new home in Phantomhive manor to be inducted as the new servant.
