Black Butler: Secret Life of Ciel Phantomhive

Taking place after the events of the Jack the Ripper case, Ciel Phantomhive has spent much more time alone in his quarters since his aunt's brutal death by the grim reaper Grell Sutcliff. Sebastian has been left without orders from his young master for many weeks following the event and is becoming increasingly concerned on if Ciel's soul is fading away from its evil darkness.

*Door Knocking*

Ciel: "Come in."

Door opens with Sebastian holding a tray with tea cups, a tea pot, and a letter.

Ciel: "Come forward Sebastian, hand me the letter and nothing else."

Sebastian: "Yes my Lord."

Sebastian walks towards Ciel, hands him the letter, and turns around to leave until Ciel questions him.

Ciel: "Sebastian, when did Elizabeth send this letter?"

Sebastian: "Yesterday my Lord, she will be arriving tomorrow and her room has been prepared and awaiting her arrival."

Ciel: "What of the possessions of Lady Red?"

Sebastian: "All of her possessions now fall into Phantomhive custody and will be arriving in a few days.

Ciel: "Alright. You may leave Sebastian."

Sebastian: "Yes my Lord."

As Sebastian leaves the room, Ciel stands up and paces the room back and forth. He is unprepared for Elizabeth's arrival due to his own shock of his emotional state.

Ciel: "Lady Red is gone, on the same day my parents have died. But I will not let this stop who I am and what I will achieve. Those who have abused me will see my revenge rain upon them. The criminal name will forever remember who I am, Ciel Phantomhive!"

Ciel than exits the room to attend dinner. Unknowingly, Sebastian overheard Ciel speak to himself. A grin formed on his face, and Sebastian became hungrier for the soul he has been crafting for more than 3 years.

Ciel: "Tanaka, are all of the breakfast and lunch preparations ready for Elizabeth's arrival?"

Tanaka: "Yes young master, Elizabeth will not be disappointed at the hospitality of the Phantomhive Estate."

Ciel: "Good."

Ciel consumes his food while the other butlers prepare their sleeping quarters. As Ciel concludes his meal, Sebastian cleans the young master's plates and guides him to his room. As Ciel lays snuck in his bed, he calls to Sebastian as he walks out.

Ciel: "Sebastian, may I speak with you?"

Sebastian: "Yes, what is it my Lord?"

Ciel: "I believe you have noticed my odd behaviors recently. I know you are concerned for my soul once you consume it when our contract ends."

Sebastian: *Grins* "You know me well young master."

Ciel: "You shouldn't be worried about me. Lady Red's death has released me from her parental grasp when she visits the manor. Now, I have much more freedom to reach my final goal of revenge. After that goal is reached…"

Sebastian: "I can consume your attractive soul, every last drop."

Ciel: "You seem to be hungrier than usual."

Sebastian: "All of this current pain I have will be worth it at the end."

Ciel: "I see, well goodnight Sebastian."

Sebastian: "Goodnight my Lord."

As Sebastian walks out, Ciel calls out to him once more.

Ciel: "Sebastian, I want you to stay here till I fall asleep."

Sebastian smirks and makes his way to Ciel's bed. He takes and seat on the beds edge and stares into the distance.

Sebastian: I will be by your side forever, till our contract is completed.
