Black Butler X Soul Calibur: Expedition to the Soul Swords
Chapter 1: A Rather Peculiar Request From the Queen
Ciel Phantomhive sat in his office looking outside from the window. It had been a week since the queen had sent him on a mission. Ciel found this rather odd, since the Queen typically had him take care of crime in London's Underworld. "There's no way that could have stopped" Ciel thought to himself. Being at home for this long bothered him. But he had no clue why. Was it boredom? An itch for adventure? Or perhaps it was because he knew criminal scum still lurked the London Night. Ciel's mind drifted away from boredom and on to his deceased parents. "Whoever murdered my parents must surely be out there! And when I find them I..."
"Master?" Ciel was interrupted mid thought by his loyal butler, Sebastian Michaelis. Sebastian had been employed a few years back, under a contract that bound Sebastian under Ciel's service until an objective had been completed. Ciel took a few moments to recollect his thoughts and bring him back to reality. "What is it Sebastian?" Sebastian pulled out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Ciel. "Its from the Queen, master. Please read the letter." Ciel then opened the letter and read it out loud." Dear Earl Phantomhive, I apologize for the lack of communication with you this week, but this was with reason. I have spent months researching a pair of swords with extremely peculiar properties and supposedly immense powers involving the super natural. I consider this in your area of expertise. So, I've assigned to investigate these swords. They are currently located in France, however there is possibility that you may need to chase them. I have prepared everything you may need. I sincerely wish you luck. - Queen Victoria." Ciel then sat back in his chair, appearing to be a mix of shocked, relieved, andd. "Well Sebastian, we leave tomorrow for southern France!" Ciel proclaimed. "Yes, my master." Sebastian replied. "Your dismissed, Sebastian" Sebastian left the room. "He has no idea what he's getting himself into." Sebastian mumbled to himself.
