Knock, knock, knock

Sebastian's dark red eyes looked up from the painting he was just dusting off and sighed to himself. Well, dusting will have to wait. It was his duty as a butler to answer the door. He didn't want to hear the young master's mouth either. He quickly climbed down the stairs and opened the door. There stood a couple of guards and behind the guards was the Queen of England herself, Queen Victoria.

Sebastain's stoic expression faltered once he saw the bear come from hibernation. He bowed respectively— it's not that he has a choice to.

"Good afternoon your majesty, and what brings you here?" Sebastian asked the older woman as he helped her out of her coat.

The queen smiled as she walked into thr middle of the living room.

"I've come to give my loyal pet a special task," she told the tall servant. "Can you fetch Ciel for me?" She added.

He nodded and left to head upstairs to retrieve what her royal highness wanted.

He gently opened the door of his master's study and annoncued, "Young master, her royal majesty has arrived."

The figure that turned around was that of a young boy no older than 13. One of his eyes was covered by an eyepatch which was the color of his dark soul. The eye, which everyone could see, was the most vivid color of blue anyone could possess, and that eye was filled with a numbing feeling, like no positive emotions could be filled in them. His hair was black, but for some some reason, you could see blue in it.

The boy looked at the butler, and his eyebrows sunk further down. He was such a pretty boy, not handsome, but pretty. He sighed and played with the ring on his thumb, knowing it was too big for him, and the jewel was the same color as his eye.

"I'll be down in a moment. Honestly, I don't know why she didn't call me ahead of time, I'm not even dressed properly for her presence," He complained as he stood up.

Sebastian shook his head and chuckled at the young man. He walked over to Ciel and gently grabbed his chin to lift his head up so he could meet his eyes.

"You know she doesn't care about what you're wearing," Sebastian said with a gentle smile, "but you always look good, young master."

The compliment itself brought a light red to the boy's cheeks. He opened his mouth to speak when his butler interjected with, "I've always dressed you to impress."

The added statement made the blush fade and the frown return. "Of course you have. Let's go see what her majesty has to offer."

Once the two appeared at the bottom of the stairs, the queen stood up and walked over to greet the young man.

"Ciel! Just the person I wanted to see!" She exclaimed as she came and gave his cheeks two swift kisses with Ciel returning the gesture.

"Why have you came on such short notice? Whatever you have to tell me in person must've been so important that you didn't want your messengers to know."

She clapped while giving him an impressed smile. "My, you are a smart boy! I have an important package I want you to have."

Ciel and Sebastian nodded as they leaned forward in anticipation.

She looked from side to side, increasing the tension in the air, and making Ciel's eyes stretch bigger than they can get.

"A queen is coming from a place called Maowi. I need you two to house her for three months. She has a maid, which the two are inseperable, just like you and Sebastian."

Ciel huffed and crossed his arms, but the heat in his face he couldn't deny feeling."Very amusing comparison you've made, your majesty."

Sebastian had found his blushing humorous. He chuckled which caught the noble boy's attention.

"You know you would be lost without me," he jeered

Ciel and growled through gritted teeth, "Shut. It."

The queen was already halfway out the door with two guards in front and one in the back behind her, holding the door open.

"I'll send Ash by to see how you're treating the guests. Farewell, my loyal servant." And with that, she was gone.

Ciel growled and stormed up the stairs with Sebastian following him. He got back to his study and plopped into his chair.

"I have more company over than I intend to," Ciel complained loudly.

Sebastian smiled and rested his hands in his shoulders giving them a little massage.

Sebastian chuckled and said,"It won't be so bad. I think you'll grow on them."

Ciel rolled his eyes as Sebastian continued, "though, I am suspicious of that foreign maid. If the Queen says the two are like us, then she must be a demon or someone with supernatural abilities."

He put his head down. "I don't know, Sebastian. Just see what those idiots are up to. That's an order."

Sebastian caught Ciel staring at him through a crack between his arms, which brought a smirk to his lips.

"Like what you see young master," he teased.

The crack disappear as he snarled, "Didn't I make myself clear? Do as you're told."

Sebastian couldn't help but smile. He bowed respectively. "As you wish, young master. After all, I am one hell of a butler."
