Chapter 1: The New Earl of Foale
It was a gloomy day. Morning felt like night. Rain fell non-stop, showing no signs of the sun's rays. By 3 o'clock, Ciel asked his loyal demon butler, Sebastian Michaelis for a parfait. He bowed then left to make one for his master. Before he headed back to Ciel's room, he heard Meyrin call his name out. He turned to her direction.
"Sebastian-saaaan! Sebastian-sa-" Before she could finish her next call, she tripped. As always, the butler came for her rescue. He rushed in front of her and stopped her from falling. Her face turned red as a tomato.
"What is it, Meyrin?" He asked calmly.
"S-sebastian-san! A-a-a a woman came and gave this letter! Her master ordered her to give this letter to the Phantomhives! She said her master is the new earl of the Faoles!" She handed the envelope with both her hands. Sebastian smirked then took the envelope.
"Thank you, Meyrin. I will hand this to the young master." He put the envelope on the tray together with the parfait he made then continued to Ciel's room.
"Bocchan, You have received an invitation to a party of the Foale's earl. And here is you parfait." Sebastian knocked then entered with the tray. Ciel opened his eyes and looked at him.
"Foale? Sherry Foale?" Ciel asked. Sebastian just smirked then placed the envelope on his desk. He also put the parfait in front of him. He ate his parfait first. Sebastian stood there as he ate his sweet dessert. When he finished, he slid the envelope across his desk.
"An invitation from Foale's Earl.." He mumbled as he opened the envelope. He took the letter out then unfolded it. He read it quietly. He sighed then kept the letter.
"What is it, my lord?" He smiled.
"Sherry Foale is going to have a party. However, there is nothing that states what kind of party it is.." He handed it to Sebastian to let him read it himself. He did so and kept the letter.
"Well then, you must prepare for tomorrow's party. I'll have your outfit ready by tomorrow. I shall make the needed preparations for tomorrow night." He bowed then left his room.
"Sherry Foale.. I haven't heard from her these past few months... What is this party about?" He mumbled.
Next morning, Ciel woke up and found his butler standing near his bed. Sebastian smirked then crouched down in front of him.
"Good morning, Bocchan. Here is your tea. What do you prefer, Italian or American for breakfast?" He asked as he dressed Ciel up.
"Hmm.. American for now." He answered then sipped on his tea.
"Well then, I'll have the food served then set the preparations for tonight." He smiled then left his bedroom. He ordered Bard and Finnian to serve them. He went to Ciel's dress room then picked an outfit for the night's event. When he was done, he headed back to the dining room to check the young master's meal.
"Well done. I shall call the you master."
"Yatta! We did it well this time!" Finnian said.
By afternoon, Ciel started to prepare for the party. Sebastian showed him his outfit and put it on. He prepared the carriage too. When everything was fine, they left and went off to the Faole's mansion. While in the carriage, Ciel thought deeply about Sherry Faole. He had a weird feeling about the woman. When they arrived, Sebastian opened the carriage and helped Ciel down. He used his crane and then walked with his butler along with him.
"Bocchan, I forgot to tell you something." He told Ciel.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Meyrin told me that the master of the woman who sent this letter was the new earl of Faole." Ciel raised an eyebrow and stopped walking.
"New earl?" He asked.
"Yes. And If ever I may be right, this party is to introduce the new earl to everyone." He smiled.
"I see.. Well then, let's see who this new earl might be. However, I don't remember Sherry Faole having a child." They continued walking. They went up the stairs and entered the mansion. They walked around the mansion and talked to the other earls in the party. Soon, it was time for the party to officially start.
"Everyone, Thank you for coming to this party. I hope you enjoy yourselves. Welcome to Faole's mansion!" A woman's voice was heard all around the mansion, but the people couldn't tell who it was. One thing was sure, it was a woman. Everyone clapped after the opening of the woman. But they still didn't know who it was. Some think that it was Sherry Faole, but they were wrong.
"Oh, my. Sorry. I was being rude. I still haven't introduced myself! This party was led so I could introduce myself! The new earl of Faole! Taking the place of the lovely Sherry Faole, I am..." The lights went out, except for one, leaving a spotlight focused on the top balcony in the mansion. Everyone turned to see. A few gasped and made sounds of 'oohh's. they waited eagerly for the woman to come out. Ciel was waiting fell silent as they heard the loud and clear foot steps of her high heels.
"Andromeda Faole! The new earl of the fanily of Faole! I look forward to meeting you all!" She spread her arms out and had a small smile on her face. Ciel was astounded. It was the first time he felt like that in his life. The woman had light green hair and violet eyes. Her lips were red as blood and her skin shines from the spotlight.
As soon as she finished introducing herself, the lights went up and she went back. She was probably going down stairs. Even though she was not there any more, Ciel was still staring at that spot. He remembered her very well. Her white long sleeve that had ruffles in the middle, her black big ribbon by her neck, her puffy and ruffled black skirt that was short in front and fell longer as it reached back, her black high socks and knee-high violet boots, and..
"She has a bandage around her neck and chin.." He mumbled. Sebastian smirked then bowed down to level Ciel's face.
"Bocchan, What is the reason behind your gaze to Miss Andromeda?" Ciel didn't answer for a few seconds. It was almost like he wasn't noticing him.
"Bocchan." Sebastian held his shoulder, startling Ciel. He stood back up properly and looked at the young master with suspicion.
"What were you saying, Sebastian?" He asked.
"Nothing important at all, young master. I just wanted to remind you to enjoy yourself in this party." He smirked.
"Enjoy? That's something that I will not be doing in a party. I do not find parties all that much enjoyable." He said. Sebastian didn't answer and just followed Ciel as he walked around. The butler noticed hat everytime Ciel would stop at a place, the green haired woman will always be in sight. And when she walks to another place, he follows her again. He must have took a liking in this girl.
The girl was unique in a way. She wasn't all that poise and delicate. She was like a normal teenager who liked to do whatever she wishes. She doesn't restrain her movements, like a normal woman would do. She would move her body to her comfort without a single spec of humiliation or embarrassment. She didn't dress like other women do. With their big gowns and tight corsets. She was carefree. But despite being carefree and acting less of a woman, she still kept peaceful and quiet. She doesn't smile to big to the point that her cheekbones would show and she doesn't have any expression in her eyes when she talks to a person. Maybe that was why Ciel was interested in her.
"Bocchan, If I may, I will just get you something to drink." He sensed that Andromeda was now approcahing him so he excused himself to let the two have a time to talk to each other.
Ciel turned his head back to Andromeda's direction and noticed her walking towards him. She smiled faintly with the blank look in her eyes and walked towards him. She looked like she was just forced to socialize with the people. But otherwise, she does so. Finally, she reached Ciel and stopped in front of him. He stared into her eyes and examined the expression she had. She was not showing a spec of interest In her eyes.
"So, you are Ciel Phantomhive?" She started off. Her voice was naturally low and sounded really mature. He liked her voice. Unlike Elizabeth's.. Thinking about this, he didn't respond for a while.
"Ciel Phantomhive.." She raised an eyebrow then poked his forehead lightly with her knuckles, making him step back. When sebastian saw this, he rushed to Ciel's side. Andromeda bobbed head to the tall and pale guy and looked at him with no expression.
"Good evening My lady Andromeda. I am the Phantomhive's loyal butler." He bowed putting his left hand on his stomach and the other holding Ciel's drink.
"I see. So he really is phantom guy. Wonder why he's spacing out." She said. Sebastian looked at Ciel's face to see his reaction on making fun of his name. But he acted as if nothing was said.
"Where is my drink, Sebastian?" Ciel asked. Hearing the name Sebastian, Andromeda's eyes narrowed.
"S-sebastian.." She stepped back and looked down. Tears started to well up in her eyes. Ciel was surprised. Why would she act like that all of a sudden? He had no clue. He knew he had done nothing wrong. Sebastian looked around, seeing that no one has notice her yet. So he looked at Ciel then nodded, agreeing to take her to a quiet place. He put his hand on one shoulder then slowly walked her to a room.
"Faole-san, What is wrong?" Ciel asked but the girl didn't answer. He sighed then stepped back. Minutes later, she wiped of her tears and fixed herself.
"What is your butler's name, Phantom?" She mumbled.
"Sebastian Michaelis. And I'm not Phantom. I am Phantomhive." She corrected her but she seemed to ignore it.
"Sebastian.. I love that name.." She mumbled. Sebastian and Ciel looked at each other. Sebastian just smiled while Ciel had confusion in his eyes.
"Oh, sorry. Sorry for my actions. Shall we continue talking outside?" She went back to her unemotional self then went out.
"As I said, I am Andromeda Faole. I may not look like it, but I am in 16 years of age." She said.
"I agree. you look very mature, I might say." He answered.
"I get that a lot." She nodded.
"Are you Sherry's daughter?" He asked.
"Oh, no. But we are almost like family." She shook her head as she explained.
"How is she? Why did you take her place?" He asked again.
"She is sick at the moment. She is resting in her room right now."
"I see.." he wanted to ask her more questions but it would make him look strange. So he just sipped on his drink.
"I know you're wondering about this bandage?" She said.
"Honestly, yes." He closed his eyes For a few seconds.
"Well, everyone has their own pasts, right? I got this when I was 13. I won't tell you anymore details. Sorry." She ran her hands across her chin as she explained.
"13 huh? So that was just very recent. An accident?" He asked.
"Oh, no. It is not an accident. But just so you know, I didn't get this wound in this mansion. just to let you know. I wouldn't want you think of bad things about this place. Many things can happen within 3 years.." She answered. Ciel nodded as an answer.
"You look very young, phantom. May I ask of your age?" She asked him.
"Well, since you told yours, I am in 13 years of age." He answered.
"I see.. A lot can happen to you. Changes.. You won't even realize it. Time moves fast, am I right?" She said.
"I think so."
"Well, I'll be excusing myself. Nice meeting you, Phantom, Sebastian." She bowed lightly then left to talk to another person.
"Bocchan, What do you think about Miss Andromeda?" Sebastian smirked.
"I don't know what you mean." Ciel told him.
"Andromeda Faole.. Something about her just makes me want to get to know her better.. I don't understand this feeling.." Ciel thought as he stared at the tall green haired woman at a distance.
