Alright, this story has been bothering in my mind lately since I've been reading too much of Kuroshitsuji.. So this is the result! I've been trying to cope up with Ciel's attitude for awhile and it was fun to try a new characteristic of a certain character even with Sebastian's, Elizabeth's and Edward's attitudes! They're all fun to play around with actually. So, sit back, relax and enjoy this another story of mine!

This is also a Reader-insert BTW. First time actually... Well I don't know how will this turn out... FOR NOW

Before you proceed, read this to avoid any confusions. I'll be adding more in the future chapters:
_ = Your name here
[FR/N] = Friend's name

Your POV
Here I am in this very carriage going to a certain place of an infamous toy making company, the Funtom Company. Really, it's very burdening why you may ask? I have to unleash the secrets of this 'Earl'!

"Tell me once again [FR/N], why shall I have to do this task..?" I asked my co-partner in front of me. [She/he] sighed in irritation.

"Dear, dear _. You still cannot believe until this time that we are already going there?" [FR/N] crossed her arms. I looked over at the view what the window is showing. The moonlit shines on the darkest places of the surroundings and guides our way to the manor.

"I might get sued for snooping around the manor. I can also lose my job!" I raised my voice. Of course! I don't dream of losing my job! I have to keep this since I need money!

I heard a sigh from [FR/N]. "Really now... Very troublesome you are indeed.. It is a task given by the chief! How can you turn back now when we are already arriving? Also you look gorgeous in that dress I made you wear!" [She/he] pointed out.

"Shut it you nincompoop.. But I appreciate your compliment." I sighed and sadly rested my chin on my hand to get a better view of the surroundings. Of all the employees, why me?

"By the way [FR/N], who is this so-called 'Earl'? I've been hearing it lately but never got a better shot of that person.." I asked. [FR/N] gave me a shocking look.

"You do not know the Earl?! You're a reporter you should have already interviewed the Earl years ago!" I just gave [FR/N] an irritated look. How should I know? I'm a busy woman with several news to report to the public!

[She/He] just sighed and laid [his/her] back on the cushion of the carriage. "Anyways, basically he has a sour or an angry look with an extremely high pride." [she/he] imitated the Earl in a weird way. I raise an eyebrow in annoyance.

"He also has a pirate eye patch on his right eye!" [FR/N] covered [his/her] right eye. I sighed at [his/her] childishness. Awful acting but to think that he has an eye patch? I wonder what happened…? This is making me curious! The carriage continued on bringing us to the manor.

As we got closer, we heard the clopping of the other carriages, the chatters of the guests and echoes of the music inside the manor. Our carriage finally came to a stop. I went down the stairs of the carriage and I saw how grand it is! The manor was very well detailed with its architecture, the decorative plants are very well-tended and the butler who was greeting the guests is well dressed! I stared at the sight in front of me. [FR/N] stood next to me.

"Isn't the manor a sight needed to be seen?" [FR/N] asked.

I chuckled and nodded. "Indeed [FR/N]. This is a grand yet a mysterious manor." I said.

[FR/N] went to the carriage again and looked at me once more. "Tata _! Have fun in the party and please don't slack off!" And by that, [FR/N] winked as [she/he] went inside the carriage and left.

"Very troublesome partner..." I sighed and continued on walking to the door of the manor. Before I could continue, my curiosity stopped me and saw a small path. My feet walked towards there wanting to know where it leads to a rabbit hole.

I followed the dirt path without hesitation but my thoughts were full of questions.
'Where this path could lead to? Could there be some danger that will bring me to it? A secret of the Earl? A mystery? A secret place? Why is this attracting me? What is there something that I must see?' These questions continued on as I walked on.

~Few minutes of walking~
"I shouldn't have followed this path if this was long...!" I scolded myself.

"I should be at the party, snooping around but instead I'm here foolishly talking to myself!" I mentally hit myself. I still don't know why I am walking forward as I could walk back again but no. I pushed away the bushes that were blocking me and I finally arrived at my destination.

"I could get myself fired if I-" My sentence was cut off as I saw someone by the gazebo looking at the stars.

'Who is...That..?''

I cautiously came closer to have a better view of the person. I went closer and closer until that person became clear in sight. It was a child in his teens. His dark blue hair shone with the moon. He wore noble clothing of dark blue coat with matching dark blue pants with gold designs and dark brown knee-length boots. I couldn't see the little boy's face as it looked at the stars. I gasped as I accidentally stepped on a stick. The boy quickly looked behind him as our faces saw each other. His single big bright blue eye shone in the light with the face of innocence and purity. I was enthralled by his features that quickly captured my sight. With light from the moon behind him, he looked like a little angel. But one that caught my attention, he had a patch on his right eye covering his other blue eye.

"What are you doing here? How did you found this place?" His voice was clear that went into my ears.

"Little boy, what are you doing here? Isn't dangerous for you to be here?" I asked him but his expression was an irritated young boy.

"Don't call me 'little boy' lady! Shouldn't you also be inside the manor?" The boy rudely said.

"How rude you are..." I exasperatedly said. He is a little boy and I'm older than him!

"Aside from the fact that I am rude, what are you doing here lady?"

"Then what are you doing here boy?" I answered back.

"Stop calling me that!" He shouted as his face was blushing. He cleared his throat and went back to his cool compose.

"Just answer me directly. What are you doing here?" He rudely said in a jerky voice. I was wrong that I thought of him as an angel. This kid must be a little brat...!
I sighed and gave him an exasperated look. "Look, boy, I was only about to enter the manor then I just saw that dirt path over there! My curiosity just overflows in my mind. That is all." I sighed with irritation. He gave me a snicker and a soft chuckle.

"I see, lady. Tell me honestly, what do you think of the Earl?" He eyed me carefully.

'How does this boy know the Earl? Could he be the son of that man?' I thought but I saw him waiting for my answer.

I honestly do not know about this whole 'Earl'. I wasn't a bit THAT interested.. But a task is a task might as well learn from this 'boy' ((brat))

"I heard he would always have a sour or angry look with high pride that wears a pirate eye patch." I averted my eyes on the moon. He stared at me with disbelief.

"Why are you staring at me like you've seen a ghost, boy?" I teased as he went back to his senses again.

"Hmph! Always has a sour or angry look who wore a pirate eye patch they say? That'll be enough, old lady." So rude! Doesn't he have manners?! How can he call me old lady when I'm only [Age]?! This little...!

"Anyways, I shall take my leave then. Until we meet again, old lady!" And by that, he went away. The wind blew through the gazebo as I watch him leave with amusement.

Such an irritating brat! He should have acted like a polite young little boy but he acted like an arrogant little boy! I huffed and took my leave too and returned to the manor to continue my task.
