Chapter 1. Ciel and the unknown rival
Ciel Phantomhive was leisurely sitting at his work desk in his office boredly looking upon documents regarding the phantomhive company. Apparently there was a new company out selling them by 15%. Ciel sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose and reclined back deeply into his chair. Almost as if knowing his master needed a break Sebastian Michaelis briefly tapped the door twice and entered the office with the trolley.
"I thought it was close to your lunch time young master." Sebastian's silky deep voice said with the slightest hint of amusement. Surely he already knew the situation. He smiled faintly at the 13 year old boy he called "Master" the boy returned his smile with a look of annoyance and displeasure. It seems as though he caught his butler's slight tone of amusement earlier. 'HHmph but of course he did. The prat might be a child but he is quite too quick for his age.' Sebastian thought as he turned the trolley to the side of the desk to present his masters lunch that he had prepared for him. Ciel shifted in his seat he hadn't thought about food all day until now and he was quite surprised to find that he was actually a bit hungry. In reaction to Ciel's attention to the trolley Sebastian quickly pulled up the lid revealing a leafy green salad with baby tomatoes and shredded carrots. In the middle of the salad a small amount of shredded turkey meat glazed in a clear pink honey like sauce stood with a small sprinkle of almonds over it. Ciel's mouth watered but he had to restrain himself from jumping at it. Sebastian placed the plate in front of Ciel. He then began to put down the silver wear. Sebastian then placed the fine china tea cup and saucer on the desk. Sebastian then added the strainer into the tea cup before he poured the contents of the tea kettle into the cup.
"Today's Tea is a light blend of peach, lemon and calming jasmine." Sebastian paused to add the small bowl of sugar cubes and honey. "I specifically made this to calm the nerves." He added with a smile. Ciel simply glanced annoyed to the side as he reached for he's utensils.
"I see."Ciel finally spoke. "So I'm assuming you already know about the companies 15% drop in sales to this new company called Fairy Tales?" Ciel questioned knowing full well what the answer was.
"Of course I do. I wouldn't be much of a butler if I didn't" Sebastian's smile turned into a cool confident smirk as he said that. Ciel's brow creased. This amused Sebastian a bit. The boy was far too easily annoyed with trivial things. He truly did have the impatience of a child. Suddenly the door swung open and the familiar high-pitched voice sang.
"CIIIIIEEEEELLL!"Lizzy happily and energetically ran up to Ciel's desk. A slight sense of surprise touched Sebastian's face. It wasn't often that a human could hide their presence from him however Lizzy's mother was one of those few. Maybe Lady Elizabeth had inherited that trait also. Sebastian looked over to his master only to see a panicked and surprised face. He could almost feel pity for the boy however a boy was simply just a boy.
"E-Elizabeth!? What are you doing here?" Ciel asked in a panicked voice.
"To see you silly!" Lizzy said brightly and in a 'shouldn't that be obvious.'
"Oh, yes well it's quite sudden is all? As you can see I'm not exactly prepared for your arrival." Ciel had finally got himself together. "Sebastian." Ciel said in a commanding voice.
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian answered.
"Please prepare us for Lizzy's arrival."
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian bowed his head deeply.
"No,no,no, they'll be no need for that I just dropped by to see you Ciel. You see my friend just moved nearby here and I was invited to see the new estate. So, I already had lunch and tea." Lizzy explained happily.
"Oh… Is that so? Well then… are you just going to leave now?" Ciel was both disappointed and confused. Usually Lizzy would have come to see him first.
"Your friend just moved here? She wouldn't happen to live in the house they were building in Thames Valley?" Ciel remembered passing by it after a personal meeting with the queen.
"Yes! That's it! It's a very lovely house! My friend is also running a small company based here in England and its popularity is growing quite rapidly already! To be honest I'm actually quite impressed with my friend! Moving to England alone and running a company!" Lizzy seemed to gush over her new friend. The realization hit Ciel quite hard. Lizzy's friend was a boy. That much was certaint. What was also apparent was the fact that Lizzy was being slowly seduced! Now there was only one detail left to confirm.
"Lizzy…Your friend wouldn't happen to be running that new toy company Fairy Tales?"Ciel asked in a low cool voice. Lizzy gasped excitedly.
"Yes! Even you know of the company!? I can't wait to see my friend tomorrow!" Lizzy twirled on her heels and ran towards the door.
"WAIT! Lizzy!" Ciel called out.
"Yes?" Lizzy turned a bit surprised.
"What are you and your friend doing tomorrow?"Ciel asked.
"Well, shopping of course the mansion is rather bare still." Lizzy Smiled. Ciel smiled back.
"Do you mind if I join the two of you tomorrow?" Ciel smiled brightly leaving Lizzy almost breathless and blushing.
"Of course you can come! We'll meet here then in the afternoon!" Lizzy shouted on her way out.
The room was quiet for a moment.
"It seems like there is another young suitor trying to gain Lady Elizabeth's affection. To top it off he's the company's rival. So… How do you plan on crushing this enemy young master?" Sebastian's evil grin was most genuine. Ciel's Impish smile rivaled Sebastian's evil grin.
"I can think of a few things."He's eye seemed to glitter with excitement."Go now Sebastian. Find out some information on the Fairy tales company's enemies."
Sebastian bowed low before Ciel with a dark happiness that seemed to fill the room. And in a blink of an eye he was gone. Ciel Smiled to himself as he thought about tomorrow's 'Shopping' trip.
