Chapter 1: A Broken Engagement
Sunday mornings are in fact the most peaceful day for Earl Ciel Phantomhive. He does his usual routines while eating the breakfast which was prepared by his demonic butler, Sebastian Michaelis.
"Sebastian, what is scheduled for today?" he asked
"Young master, there is nothing scheduled for this day aside from the upcoming arrival of the Marquis and Marchioness Midford." Sebastian said
"Aunt Frances is coming? I wonder if their arrival has something to do with the news they are talking about."Ciel thought
"Young Master, you must get ready. The Midfords are coming here at mid- day." Sebastian said
"Very well then." Ciel replied
After taking a bath, Sebastian put the most presentable clothes that will suit the Marchioness taste. Ciel goes to his study room and start to work on some papers while waiting for the arrival of his aunt. Midday comes and a carriage stops in front of the Phantomhive grand doors.
Sebastian opens the door and welcomes the Midford family. Sebastian also notices that Lady Elizabeth, his master's fiancé grew thin.
"We are waiting for your arrival, Marquis and Marchioness Midford, Lady Elizabeth and Lord Edward. The Earl is on his study room right now, this way please." Sebastian said
Sebastian escorted them on the place where Ciel is. As they enter, Sebastian notices that Lady Elizabeth doesn't give Ciel a suffocating hug. 'There is something wrong here' he thought.
"Fine day Aunt Frances." Ciel greeted
"Fine day too, Ciel." Marchioness Midford said
"So, may ask straight to the point, what brings you here Aunt Frances. It seems to be important that even the Marquis comes with you too." Ciel stated
"Well Ciel, to be straight to the point, we're here to talk about the engagement between you and Elizabeth." 'What about the engagement? Does Aunt Frances want to make the marriage earlier?' Ciel thought. "I want to cancel the engagement between the two of you. This decision was decided by me and my husband last night. I think Elizabeth will not be able to be a suitable wife for you because of Elizabeth's sickness. She's becoming vulnerable." The marchioness continued.
Ciel was in fact shocked on what his Aunt Frances had said. He is wondering why it just happen so suddenly. The two things he understands now is that: First, Elizabeth is sick; and second, Elizabeth is now his ex- fiancée.
"I see. So I need to find a new lady to marry. By the way, why does Elizabeth becomes sick?" Ciel asked out of curiosity
"She had pneumonia Ciel. And don't worry, as your aunt, I will help you to find a suitable wife." Marchioness Midford said
After the conversation, the Midfords left the Phantomhive manor. Ciel was still wondering about Lizzie. Even though she is not his fiancée anymore, she is still his cousin. The only thing that bugs him out is who will be his new fiancée.
"Sebastian." Ciel said
"Yes my lord?" Sebastian asked
"I want you to come up on a list of suitable ladies to be my new fiancée. This is the only way we can help Aunt Frances. This is an order Sebastian!" Ciel said
"Yes, my lord." Sebastian and vanish out of the blue.
This seems to become a very long search. Ciel thinks deeply and starts to list all the family names who he knows to have a daughter suitable to him. On the other hand, Sebastian starts to take down names of maidens from noble families whom he thinks suitable to his young master.
