Ciel's Pov
" Damn it all to Hell, Sebastian! "
" Now young master, that is no way to talk. " I glared at my butler who was smiling softly at me. He considered me childish, even though he tried to hide it. " Anyway check mate. Care for another round master? " I scoffed in his face, as if I would submit myself to further humiliation. Standing up, I turned my back towards him and went to stare out the window. I had plenty on my mind, other than chess. Sebastian taking my silence as a cue to leave, he got up and carried out the tea tray to leave me with my thoughts.
To say I was stressed would be an understatement. The company had several new rivals popping up everywhere, and the queen's requests were becoming more and more difficult. I had to rely on Sebastian more then I was comfortable with and to add to the stress, the owner of a top rival was coming to visit me tomorrow. Lady Aria Williams was her name and her toy company the A.W Co. was attracting more attention each passing second. She had requested the meeting to discuss potentially co-funding our company's. I rubbed my eye suddenly exhausted. Never in my life had I thought about combining Funtom's with another toy company, it was simply all to much to think about.
I yawned, stretching my arms above my head. I decided for the rest of the day I would spend it outside. It was a beautiful sunny day, the autumn leaves falling gently. I called for Sebastian and he appeared in a quick moment, carrying my black coat and scarf.
" Would you care for supper outside as well my lord? "
" No Sebastian, I'm not feeling hungry. Bring my chess set outside though. I shall practice, for next time I shall beat you! " My butler laughed softly at my cocky remark and proceeded to dress me for outside. Soon, I was out in the crisp air that felt good on my lungs, which were feeling a little feeble after the stuffiness of paperwork and the likes. The trip to the small gazebo was short, and soon I was practicing chess on the smooth white table, drinking a cup of Earl Gray tea.
However darkness fell quickly and I was in my bed not quite sleeping, yet not quite awake. I was in that dream state, where nothing was impossible and where the danger was just as real as life. It was a thrilling place and I wished that I could stay there forever. But I was human and sleep did come, restless and upon waking, I was even more exhausted than the day before.
" Good morning young master. You must hurry for I lost track of time and let you sleep. The lady Aria will be here soon. " Sebastian winced as I threw one of my pillows at him, but he did not move. He was accustomed to my daily fits, for I was NOT a morning person. I had no idea how those retched people lived.
" How much longer till the lady arrives Sebastian? " I groaned as he lifted up 2 fingers to signal two hours.
As we went through the motions of me getting dressed and presentable, I fretted on what was I to expect from this 'lady'. She had popped up out of nowhere and no one seemed to know anything about her. I had no idea what to serve, entertain her with and how I was supposed to act. Damn it all. Sebastian sensing my distress from our mental link, said.
" Do not worry my lord. I have everything prepared and ready to go. I have a...inside person who told me what the Lady likes and dislikes. All you must do is to be yourself. " I rolled my eyes at his pitiful attempt to make me feel better, and covered my marked eye with my eye patch. No need for her to know about my contract with Sebastian.
Feeling a little better after a quick brunch of eggs, toast and preserved berry jam, I went out to the front steps to wait for the lady's carriage with Sebastian behind me. She did not disappoint. In a few minutes a light brown carriage with dark red curtains pulled up in front of me. I went down and opened the carriage door, taking a white gloved hand in my own. And stepped down was one of the most beautiful girls I had ever seen.
Pin straight black hair fell to a delicate waist. Soft, round hazel eyes glanced up at me and seemed to shift from between a warm brown and shocking gold. Porcelain white skin and pink rosebud lips smiled gently. As the girl jumped gracefully to the ground I saw in satisfaction she was indeed shorter then me. I continued to stare as she wiped off dust from her dark purple and black gown. After adjusting her black hat, she bent down in a graceful curtsy and effectively pulled me out of my trance. I bowed deeply, and offered her my left arm. Taking it she looked back and nodded at another girl who was just stepping out of the carriage. Assuming it was her maid, I motioned for Sebastian to help her with the baggage.
As I led the girl into my home she looked around her in obvious awe even though she tried not to show it. Finally I spoke,
" Lady Aria, this is your room. Feel free to freshen up before lunchon. After we can talk about our companies. " She turned towards me and curtsied. A soft, high voice floated up to my ears.
" My thanks Lord Ciel. Can you see that my maid comes to my room with my bags? And again, thank you. " She smiled up at me and went into her room closing the door softly behind her.
As I went to my study, I tried to clear my thought about the beautiful girl who was nothing like I had expected. Fantastic, another thing to think about. And where on earth was Sebastian?!
