*FLASHBACK*

Normal POV

"W-what?" The rain pouring outside could be heard in the Queen's Chamber.

"It is what it is, Elizabeth. Ciel was the last Phantomhive. Now that he's gone, the existence of the family has ceased. The Royal Family's watchdog has died out, so it's time to find another one." The Queen said calmly.

"But...but, no... You can't do that to Ciel...you just...can't. Are you saying that the Phantomhive family will no longer have any importance to England? That they're gonna be forgotten and thrown out just like that? Well I just can't accept that, forgive me for my rudeness Queen Victoria!"

The Queen sat there, shocked. "Elizabeth...You know that this is the only way. Without a watchdog, this country is at stake."

Her father, Alexis Midford told her, lovingly, "Elizabeth, darling, please listen to us."

It seemed to be like an eternity before Elizabeth answered calmly, yet full of determination.

"Then I'll take the place."

"From now on, I'll take my rightful place as the Countess of the Phantomhive family, Elizabeth Phantomhive. I was, no, I am, after all, the wife of the Queen's Watchdog, Ciel Phantomhive!"

"Elizabeth, no!" Lady Francis yelled at her.

"Lizzie, please say you're not serious!" Edward asked her incredulously. Lord Alexis just stood there like he'd seen a ghost.

"Mother, Father, Edward, please...just let me do this. You knew from the very beginning when you engaged me with Ciel that something like this would happen sooner or later. So please, just this one time, let me do what I need, no, what I want to do. For the sake of the Phantomhive heritage. Please..." she looked into her mother's eyes pleadingly.

Lady Francis was about to cry. Her youngest and only daughter was doing all this for her dead fiance. She was willing to sacrifice her freedom for that boy. She looked into her daughter's eyes and saw determination. Alright, if this was what she wanted, so be it. What kind of mother would she be if she didn't support her daughter when she needed it the most.

"Alright...alright. Elizabeth, I hope you know what you are doing. If this is really what you want, then so be it. I'm not going to hinder you. My only hope is that you won't come to regret your decision in the future." She smiled sadly at her daughter.

Elizabeth beamed at her mom. "I won't, mother! I'll make sure of that." Then she looked at her brother who was still looking away, fuming mad. "Edward...?"

Edward couldn't help but feel mad at her sister. Doesn't she loved her family anymore that she wants to leave so badly? What if she gets hurt? What if a guy takes advantage of her? He knew clearly how innocent Elizabeth is and how kind she is. What if she doesn't see a person for what he truly is... Elizabeth...He made up his mind. He'll let his sister do want he wants because she doesn't want to see her sad. He'll just protect her when the time comes. He'll beat the crap out anybody that comes within 10 mile radius of her, for sure. He grinned to himself.

After a seemingly long time, Edward finally looked back up but was still not making eye contact. "Fine, if that's what you want. I just don't want to see you sad, that's all." Elizabeth ran up to her brother and hugged him. "Thank you so much, Eddy! I know you'll protect me so I don't have to worry about that." The said brother smiled at her and ruffled her hair.

"Of course, I always will. Always will, for sure."

She ran up to her father and hugged him too. "Thank you so much for everything, papa!"

Alexis Midford was shocked but soon recovered. "Of course, my dear. I will always be here."

"Elizabeth, are you sure?" The almost forgotten queen asked.

"Yes. Yes, I am."

~3 months later~

It has been approximately 3 months ever since she was secretly proclaimed as the new head of the Phantomhive family, the new queen's watchdog. Nobody outside the Royal and the Midford family knew of Ciel's death and the recent proclamation. Everybody was just told that the Ciel Phantomhive left the country while on business and didn't know when he would be coming back. Everyone, of course, believed it.

Elizabeth was just roaming around the city when she stumbled upon a messy, brown haired guy. He looked about the same age as her or perhaps, just a bit older. His clothes were torn all over and we're ragged. 'Poor guy, he must be homeless.' Elizabeth thought. Like the kind hearted Elizabeth is, she gave him a good amount of money which would probably last him a long time.

The guy was wide eyed.

Then he said after awhile while looking up and observing Elizabeth, "Can I serve you?"

Elizabeth was taken back, for she didn't know what the guy was talking about.

"I beg your pardon?" She looked at him confusingly.

"Can I serve you? I can grant you your greatest wish."

She was still confused. "Like...serve me...serve me in my mansion? Or..."

He smiled at her innocence. " Yes. Or in any way you want me to. It's your choice, after all."

Elizabeth thought for a while and finally came up with a decision. "Ok! You can be my butler! But wait...how can you grant me my greatest wish...? Are you a magician?" She asked rather childishly. She was only thirteen years old, after all. The guy internally laughed at her utter confusion.

"What I meant was...this, " He said as his eyes turned bloody red. "Simple, I'm a demon."

Her eyes widen up in admiration. "Your eyes... You're a demon...Wow, that's so cool! And you can grant me my greatest wish?..."

This girl was indeed the oddest girl he'd ever met. But then again, that's what made him want to serve her without anything in return. Both her oddity and her kindness towards him. "Yes. Now what would your wish be?"

She thought about it. What was her wish...? What did she want the most in the world...?

"Help me preserve the Phantomhive family. That's my wish." Elizabeth looked at him expectingly.

"Your wish is my command."

"I'm Elizabeth Ethal Cordelia Phantomhive. Previously a Midford, but things...uh...changed it guess...hehe..." She scratched her neck.

"Michael Nathaniel, milady." He bowed at his new mistress.
