Note: I do not own Black Butler and its characters
The young Earl Phantomhive is all alone in this world, living in a household where his loyal butler and four other servants resides. Every morning is the same, with no changes even if his butler tried to discipline them in any way he can and in repeated defeats. Problems and enemies seem to be pouring on the young Earl as each day pass, for there's not a single minute that he's not disturbed by anything or getting into peril's way. Such is a life of an underdog of the Queen. But today, it's a different matter. The surprise that will come knocking on the Phantomhive's door has something to do with the past....
"Young Master, it's time for your studies." Sebastian said, knocking gently at the library door before opening it. He saw his charge sitting quietly by the window, dazed as if seeing nothing. For the past few days, he had noticed his charge being light headed and he always catch him daydreaming. He knew Ciel Phantomhive doesn't daydream of anything in particular. And Sebastian's quite worried of this behavior.
"Young Master? Can you hear me?" he repeated, taking a closer step toward him. Ciel didn't stir even a little, and he continued to look outside the window, as if longing to see something that will help him relieve the stress. Sebastian held out a hand towards Ciel's shoulder and shook him gently. Ciel looked at him.
"What is it?" Ciel asked.
"It's almost time for your studies, young master."
"I see..."
"Young master, is something bothering you?" Sebastian asked, worried.
"..It's nothing, Sebastian. It's just that---"
"SEBASTIAN!" someone screamed from the hallway. The two of them turned to look at the library door which bursted open and came in a frantic Finnie.
"What is it now?" Sebastian frowned. Now's not the time for more troubles for the Earl, and Sebastian worries that Ciel will get sick if this will continue.
"There's a lady outside who's waiting for Sir Ciel." Finnie said.
"A lady?"
Finnie nodded furiously. "She said she wanted to talk to Sir Ciel. Mr. Tanaka had brought her tea and some biscuits at the patio. What should we do?"
Sebastian sighed. "Since she's here already, the young master has no other choice but to see her." He turned towards Ciel who was looking at them rather patiently.
"Does this woman," Ciel said slowly. "Has a sapphire ring just like the Phantomhive heirloom?"
Finnie racked his brain. "Now that you've mentioned it, I do remember seeing one. Why did you ask?"
But Ciel didn't even bother to answer the question. He bolted out of his chair and went straight to the patio, taking two stairs down at a time. By the time he reached the patio, the woman was sipping tea and she looked up at him with a gentle smile on her face. A smile that resembles greatly that of his father's.
"Hello Ciel." she said, setting the teacup down. "It's been a long time since I've seen you."
"..big sister.."
Sebastian, who had gone after Ciel's heels, heard those two words and was surprised. He didn't know that Ciel has an older sister. And the most surprising of all, the woman resembles Ciel very well, except for the long hair and the preferred color which is white and traces of black.
