Chapter 1: In the morning

"Young Master, it is time to wake." Sebastian said gently, opening up the lace curtains in his Young Master's bedroom.

"Mmmg..." Ciel groaned, not wanting to get out of his extremely comfortable bed.

Sebastian began pouring his Young Master a cup of Earl Grey Tea, his favorite, in a Scatter Rose tea cup. "For your breakfast today, I have prepared Poached Salmon and Mint Salad. On the side, we have toast and scones."

Ciel sat up in his bed when handed the tea. He grabbed the neatly folded newspaper off of the nightstand next to his bed. "For your schedule today, sir, you will be meeting with Lady Regnadle to discuss the details of your collaboration during the Spring Festival next month. Lady Elizabeth will also be joining us during the meeting, as she is familiar with Lady Regnadle. Afterwards-"

"WHAT?!" Ciel shouted, cutting his butler off. Sebastian stared at his Young Master with a startled expression.

"What seems to be the matter, my lord?" He asked him, genuinely confused.

"You can't invite Lizzy to a meeting! She'll mess it all up!" The 13 year old Earl complained.

Sebastian sighed, as if he were also distressed by the young lady's accompaniment. "Unfortunately, I had no say-so in this decision. Lady Francis insisted that Lady Elizabeth join us during this meeting." He explained.

"Damn..." Ciel mumbled. He knew there was no way Lizzie wouldn't be joining them. "Just...make sure she doesn't cause too much trouble. This is a very important meeting for my company." Ciel groaned, finishing the last of his morning tea.

"Very good, my lord." Sebastian acknowledged. He then went over to his Young Master's bedside to get him dressed for his, now very busy, morning.

"Mr. Sebastian, sir!" Finny yelled from across the manor lawn. He was covered in dirt from head to toe, as usual.

"Yes, Finny. What seems to be the matter this time?" Sebastian asked monotonously, since this happens regularly. It seems he can't go a day without having to clean up after the Young Master's ditzy servants. Finny tilted his head, as if he were confused by the question.

"Huh? Nothing's the matter, Mr. Sebastian! I came to inform you that I finished fertilizing the garden, like you asked!" He beamed, proud of his supposedly "good" work. This time, it was Sebastian who tilted his head.

"Finny...I never gave you a job." He said. But Finny did not hear the butler, as he was already pulling on his arm to come and see his hard work.

When they got to the garden, all they could see were patches of luscious green and beautiful blooming flowers. The trees seemed to be alive, their leaves dancing in the breeze. The small pond was crystal clear, and a small family of white geese were swimming across the water, creating ripples behind them as they went. Sebastian looked on, gawking at the sight. This was the first time he had ever seen the garden look this nice without his help.

"Finnian...you..did this?" The butler asked, astounded that Finny actually did his job correctly.

"Mm-hm!" He beamed joyfully. "And it's all thanks to the directions that were on my bedside this morning!" Finny reached into a small pocket in his trousers that was sewn on by Sebastian himself. Sebastian looked on as Finny struggled with the pocket in his trousers.

"I had not given nor wrote any instructions to Finny...what must he be talking about?" Sebastian thought to himself.

After few seconds of fumbling with his pocket, he pulled out a small piece of paper. He handed it to Sebastian. Written on the tiny scrap of paper were carefully explained directions, instructing how to take care of the garden. At the bottom, there was a small signature. It read, "Emilia G. Regnadle". Sebastian smirked, reading the signature a second time to make sure he was, in fact, reading it correctly.

Sebastian handed the paper back to Finny and patted his head. "Good Job. As a reward, you are hereby cleared of your duties today." Sebastian said to Finny, smiling. The truth, really, was that Sebastian simply did not want Finnian to mess the garden up after it was tended to so well.

"Yay! Thank you Mr. Sebastian!" Finny called out, running back towards the manor.

Sebastian too began walking back towards the manor, when something caught his eye.

Behind a small petunia, lay a tiny vial. Upon closer inspection, however, Sebastian saw that there was actually something in the vile. At least, what was left of it. He carefully picked up the tiny bottle and opened to corkscrew.

A strong odor emanated from the vial and Sebastian quickly put the cork back on. Chloroform. Sebastian looked up towards the manor.

"The Young Master!" He thought, now extremely worried about his Young Master's safety. Sebastian shoved the vial in his tailcoat pocket and ran towards the manor.

On his way into the manor, he could see the doors of Lady Elizabeth's carriage opening.

"Sebastian!?" She called, seeing how he was running towards the manor with a distressed look on his face. Lizzy picked up the hem of her skirt and began running behind Sebastian, trying desperately to keep up.

"Ciel!" She thought. "Something must've happened!"
