Chapter 1

A rustles of curtains can be heard in the dark room.

"Young Mistress, it's time to wake up." A velvety yet deep echoed through the room. A man in an outfit that consist of black trousers, a six button double-breasted tailcoat, and a grey vest. He walked towards a queen-sized bed and gently shook the lump under the white sheets.

"Ugh…" The sheets fall down revealing a young girl, with topaz hair rubbing her eyes to take away her sleepiness. She yawned and opened her eyes, it was a beautiful amnesty eyes, and she looked at the man and smiled. "Good Morning, Vincent"

"Good Morning too, Young Mistress" The man, Vincent has his black hair combed back neatly and his striking red eyes suited his pale with grayish tint skin, bowed and sets down the tray with beautiful tea sets. He started to pour some tea and said, "I've prepared poached salmon and mint salad for breakfast today. As an accompaniment, I've prepared a toast, scones and baci. Which would you like?"

(AN: Baci is a bite-size snack in Italy. Baci also means kisses.)

"Baci. That fragrance…is today's tea Ceylon?" She questioned as Vincent dressed her in her everyday clothes. "Yes, it's Royal Doulton Tea. I've prepared the blue and white Wedgewood tea set." He calmly said as he neatly tied a red ribbon in her neck.

"What is the plan for today?" She asked again while her butler slipped some stocking on her legs.

"After breakfast, you will be meeting with Professor Huggh on the subject of becoming a good leader. Then after lunch, the Earl of Phantomhive will arrive." When he slowly finished tying her hair in a low-braid ponytail, he stood up and let the girl see her outfit being done.

"Vincent, do your job." She said while glancing at her butler.

"Yes, My Lady" with that he left the room.

"Today is the day, were Ciel Phantomhive meets Valeris Gremory." She smirked and chuckled while clutching her necklace.

"Queen's Emissary…" A rather short teenage boy with navy blue hair and eye. He wore a black eyepatch on his right eyes. He wore as a noble would wear. This is Ciel Phantomhive.

"Yes, it seems the Queen has another secret agency we didn't know about." A tall, handsome, youthful male with black hair, red eyes, and pale skin that has a grayish tint is Sebastian Michaelis, Ciel's personal butler.

The two are in a carriage heading to an estate, they didn't knew.

~Flashback~

In the Phantomhive estate,

"Young Master, a letter from the Queen has arrived." Sebastian handed Ciel a letter with the Phantomhive crest in the seal wax. He opened it and read.

"Dear cute boy, This isn't another job for you. You will meet someone I knew long time ago. You will go to London to meet 'The Emissary of the Queen'. Here is a map where you will be headed. Good Luck. Queen Victoria. " The letter finished and the two looked at each other for a few moment.

"Sebastian, prepare the carriage."

"Yes, My Lord."

~End~

"I've done a research about them and it seems Emissary stands for Spy. They are quite similar to the Phantomhive but they do their job secretly." Sebastian exclaimed as his master listened.

"They do their job without the help from others? " Ciel questioned as he saw his butler nod. He looked back at the window and think.

"I've also heard a rumor, Young Master. " This caught Ciel's attention and started to listen. "It appears the rumored Gremory estate has been revived by someone unknown."

"Gremory?" Ciel pointed out. Sebastian nodded and gave Ciel a piece of paper. Ciel grabbed it and scanned the paper.

"Gremory estate is Phantomhive's co-worker. Gremory sales jewelry and some sweets called Grem Company. The late dame was Lydia Gremory. Gremory is the name of an infamous family that is directly controlled by Queen Victoria. It is a secret and strictly confidential executive agency of England. Often called the "Queen's Emissary" or the "Evil Dame," they have served the Royal Family for generations.

Gremory is associated with nobility, and the head of the household has the rightful position as a dame. The current Dame is Valeris Gremory." Ciel paused for a moment and think.

"Dame? You mean for generations the one who led the Grem Company is a woman?" Ciel inquired.

"It seems so, Yong Master." The butler nodded and paused as the coachmen stopped the carriage.

"We are here." He said. Sebastian came out first as he let Ciel came out. The carriage left them behind and disappeared with the mist. They started to examine the manor.

The Manor is located in a mist-covered forest on the outskirts of London. Vast expanses of land, outlined by a great quantity of bushes and trees, contain the gargantuan building of the manor. A long stairway leads to the entrance, where a huge fountain is established nearby. The lofty manor has a substantial amount of stories.

They walked towards the stairway and Sebastian knocked at the victoria-style door. The door opened to reveal a pink-haired woman clad in black and white maid outfit. The maid curtsied and let them in.

They went inside and were amazed by the décor of the house. The maid guides them to a room. The room was clad in red and black wallpaper and they seem to found that this is a working place. They found a mahogany work desk with a black office chair but the chair was facing the window. The maid assigned the two to sit down at the gold couch and then left.

"Nice to meet you, Ciel Phantomhive." The voice sounded like a girl, it was coming from the chair. The chair twirled and faced them. Their eyes widen to see a teenage girl, she has a topaz like hair that was styled in a low-braid ponytail, her amnesty eyes were gleaming with mischievous, and she was wearing a noble woman would wear except that her sleeves were tear and her right arm was covered with white bandage.

"My name is Valeris Gremory, The Dame of Gremory family." She smirked as she was twirling a fountain pen on her fingers.

"You mean, you're…"

"Yes, The Emissary of the Queen is me. We Gremory, served the Queen for generations." She grabbed a scone beside her and ate it. She snatched another scone and pointed it to Ciel. "Want one?"

Sebastian stood and grabbed the scone from Valeris and gave it to Ciel. He accepted it and took a bite. Valeris smiled and started to finish it in one go.

"I already know why you are here, Ciel. But it seems you don't know." She hoisted and sat in front of Ciel and handed him a letter while sipping some tea. "Here." Ciel took it from her grasp and started to read it.

"Dear Cute Boy, if you are reading this it means you have reached the Gremory manor. Starting for now, you will be working with the head of Gremory. Your first job is to investigate the serial killer in London. It seems the killer is only interested in woman who has beautiful faces. Capture him/her and report it to me. Queen Victoria."

"This is my first time working with someone since I can easily solved it on my own." She raised up and held her hand out. "I'm looking forward to work with you, Ciel Phantomhive." Ciel stared at her and finally stood and shook her hand with his. "I'm also looking forward to work with you, Valeris Gremory."

Sebastian smirked then bowed. "My name is Sebastian Michaelis, Young Master's butler." Valeris stared at him for a while and whispered.

"Michaelis…"

"What's wrong, Lady Valeris?" Sebastian asked as he heard her whisper. She shook her head and smiled.

A knock from the door disturb them followed by a deep yet velvety voice. "Young Mistress, I've prepared yours and the guest's afternoon tea." The door opened to reveal Vincent with a cart filled with tea sets and sweets.

Ciel abruptly stood and looked at the butler shocked while Sebastian widen his eyes. Vincent calmly ignored them and walked beside his Mistress as he sets down a tea cup and poured some tea, he also sets down a plate of blueberry and cherry tart.

"You! That butler!" Ciel shouted as he took a step back.

"Oh! I forgot to introduce you. My butler, Vincent Michaelis." She smirked as she twirled her fork in her fingers while pointing it towards her butler.
