"It's about time for a case to pop up here" a certain blue-haired, about the age of 15, boy said. "Cases rarely show at this time of the year" he added with a sigh. The boy looked at the letter he was holding and glared at the message inside.
Earl of the Phantomhive Manor,
Her Majesty is in deepest sorrow for cases of young ladies getting kidnapped and we cannot identify who is the culprit behind this bad scenario. The worst part of this is that only the hair of the girl is left. The Queen would like your assistance along with your butler to solve such a bad case.
The Queen's butler,
Ash
He threw the letter aside as if it was trash to him. "Sebastian" the boy said in a serious voice. "Yes, young lord?" The ever-covered-in-black-and-white butler, Sebastian, replied smiling as his eyes turn from bloody red to a magnificent magenta. "Shall we solve such a case? We will leave tomorrow first thing in the morning for London, understood?" the young earl, Ciel Phantomhive, asked in such a cold voice.
Sebastian bowed before his master, "Yes, my Lord"

"Ohhhhh. Master Ciel! Are you going to leave us here again?" a scratchy voice, owned by Meyrin, said. "Yeah? Why would you leave at this time of the year?" Bard said with a deep voice. "Why Master?" Another said, Finnian, to be exact. "It can't be helped. We'll be back in 2 weeks or so. Make sure that this mansion would be in shape when I come back" Ciel said while getting in the carriage. "Yes young master!" the servants said in unison with big smiles on their faces. After that, Sebastian positioned himself to drive the carriage and head out for London. "Be safe!" one of the servants said and waved goodbye. Now's the time to land in London.
"Ladies being kidnapped, you say? This should be interesting" Ciel said in such a dark tone.

They arrived in London after hours of travel. As they would usually do, they rented a very expensive manor to stay in. Complete with everything they need, fine luxury you may call it. Ciel went to his study to examine the case. He saw some pictures of beautiful young ladies and letters of their families to Her Majesty. "Young Master?" Sebastian knocked to the wooden door in his study. "Come in" Ciel said. Sebastian let himself in with a cart full of sweets and his master's favorite beverage, tea. A pile of papers can also be seen with more pictures of the missing ladies. "Today I have prepared Eccles cake, a small, round cake filled with currants and made from flaky pastry with butter. I have also topped it with demerara sugar to make it tastier. For the tea, I have made a traditional Chamomile tea with a little sugar to make it sweeter for the master." Sebastian explained while giving it to Ciel. He bowed and gave some papers to Ciel. "Some reports of this case say that the ladies are burned to ashes leaving their hair" Ciel examined one letter and read it. The letter says that there would be a funeral for a girl named Margaret Marie who is also a victim of the murder.
"Sebastian, do you have any suggestions on how we can find the culprit? That "find people who can probably be the suspect and list down everything about them" strategy is getting boring" the earl said as he took a bite from his Eccles cake. They were rather bored and find it lame to repeat each strategy to find the suspect. In the end, that method won't get them to culprit anyway so Ciel wanted something a more fun and blood-related scheme. The butler faced his master and smirked at him. "A funeral for a lady, you say?" Sebastian started and took the picture of the girl Margaret Marie. "Young Master, if you please don't mind. How about we go dress up for that funeral and act as if were somehow acquainted with the girl? It may somehow lead us to the suspect or get some information of some sort" the butler insisted. Ciel was actually quite impressed of the butler's suggestion. It was a magnificent idea, indeed. But then he had a problem. How can a normal girl be acquainted with a noble man. They were quite known in London for being the Queen's watchdog, but no, they won't let such a little problem interfere with this case. He asked his butler about their situation. The demon evilly smiled at the young master. Surely Ciel was sensing something not to his favor.
