The Phantomhive Manor.
The Phantomhive Manor is located in a mist-covered forest on the outskirts of London. The entire area is margined with ruins and a rubble of stone. Vast expanses of land, outlined by a lot of bushes and trees, contain the gargantuan building of the manor and a long stairway that leads to the entrance, where a huge fountain is established nearby.
This very manor is owned by a young earl named Ciel Phantomhive.Ciel is a short, thirteen-year-old boy with bluish-black hair and rich, deep blue eyes.His arms and legs are thin, his shoulders slim and his waist narrow. Ciel nearly always wears a black eye-patchwith a single cord over his right eye to hide the location of his Faustiancontractwith his loyal demon butler.
Inside the manor, in a blue colored wall room. Sleeps Ciel, in his queen bed, blue curtains drape from the top. In walks a tall handsome adult with black hair, red eyes, and pale skin. He wears a butler's outfit, which consists of black trousers, a six-button double-breasted tailcoat, and a gray vest. He has the Phantomhivecrest on his shirt cuffs and ties. Also sports white gloves, a pocket watch, and a chained silver lapel pin bearing the Phantomhive crest, traditionally worn by the house's head butler. This is the demon butler, Sebastion Michaelis.
"Time to wake up, young master." The butler states as he sets down a tray that holds tea and food on the table next to the bed, and opens the light blue curtains to let in a stray of sunlight. Ciel stirs, opens his blue eyes and sits up with a yawn. "Good morning, young master."

"Nooooooo!" The sound of rolling weals eco through the hallway. The source of the sound comes from a male with brown hair tied with a red ribbon and dressed in plain, black clothes and glasses rolling down a hallway on a cart that holds dirty plates and cups. This is Grell Sutcliff.
The burst through a door that leads to a room where Ciel, Sebastion, and three other people are in. The cart heads straight toa young boy with large, turquoise eyes and pale skin. He has short, messy, strawberry-blond hair clipped back with five red bobby pins — two on his right and three on his left. This is Finnian. They both crash into each other, spilling hit tea on the blond boy's shirt.
"Hot! Hot, hot, hot, hot, hot!" The blond cries as he tries to stop the tea from burning on his skin. Beside him, Grell tries to recover from the landing than tries to help Finnian.
"I-I'm so sorry! I'll wipe you off right away!" Grell apologizes and went to grab a napkin from the table, but accidentally grabs the whole tablecloth. As he does that he makes the food a silver wear fall on the floor. Ciel sighs as his food is dragged away from him and puts a hand on his temple.
"Young master, why did you take in this useless bum?" A dirty blond hair and turquoise eyes male ask. He's dressed in a standard chef's outfit, which includes a long white apron. A cigarette dangling from his mouth and goggles hanging loosely around his neck. This is Baldroy.
"Are you one to talk?" Was the reply he got back as Ciel sighed again. "I miscalculated" A flashback of when is Aunt asked him to take in Grell.
~~~~~~~~ Mini Flashback~~~~~~~
"Say, Ciel, my Grell is completely useless! Would you mind having Sebastian train him as a butler?" A woman with red hair dressed in all red asks with her hands put together and a closed eye smile on her face. This is Madam Red, also known as Angela Dales. " I'll reward you handsomely. All right?" She finishes with a hand kiss.
~~~~~~Flashback Ended~~~~~~
"I thought the only on inconvenienced would be Sebastian, and I wouldn't suffer any harm..." Ciel says as he closes his eye.
"Ho, ho, ho" an old man beside him laughs holding a green cups with both of his hands. This man is Tanak.
"I'm very sorry for causing you all such trouble..." Grell apologizes again as Finnian, Baldroy and a girl in a maids dress, Mayrin, stare him down. "I know! I will die once and for all... I'll atone for my death!" He exclaims as he pulls out a knife and points it at his neck, causing the servants behind him freak out.
"Hey, don't do anythin' rash!" Baldroy yells out with his hand stretched out.
"Wh-When did he get that knife...?" Mayrin asks as she pushes up her glasses nervously.
"No need for you to die." A hand is placed on Grell's shoulder, stopping him from stabbing himself. He turns around to see Sebastion standing behind him with a closed-eyed smile. "If blood sprays everywhere, the room will be that much harder to clean." He states.
"Sebastian, you're so kind..." Grell says, looking upon Sebastion on his knees with a blush on his face and hands put together.
"Was that kind?" Baldroy asked as his fellow servants surround him. Both the maid and gardener shake their heads.
"In any case, I cannot believe you would serve the young master such fragranceless tea." Sebation says in disappointment while picking up the tea put and examining it. "Now pay attention: you put in a scoop of leaves for each person and one more for the pot." He orders as he puts in two scoops of leaves inside of the pot "A half-pint of boiling water should do it." He pours hot water inside of the pot.
The three servants jot down the directions in a small notebook with Tanak besides them while Grell watches Sebastion with admiration.
"Young master, its almost time." Sebastion states after giving Ciel his tea. "I have a carriage waiting out front." Ciel hums after drinking some of his tea. "Alright, everyone, I'll leave the cleaning up to you." He tells the servants. "Grell, please just sit and rest so that you don't cause unnecessary trouble. If you should decide to rest eternally, I ask that you please do so outside." He finishes off with a closed eye smile.
"Sebastian... You're so kind..."
~Time Skip~In London~
"Extra! Extra! The mysterious murder of a prostitute!"
"Hi there, kid. Your dad send you here?" A man asks when he sees Ciel and Sebastion walk into his shop.
"Pardon, but we've come here to pick up my master's walking stick," Sebastion answers pulling out a piece of paper and handing it to the man.
"Oh, you're here for this stick." The man says after taking a look at the paper given to him. "I was wondering who'd use a cane so short, but I never imagined it would be such a young chi-" He was cut off when Sebastion pointed the end of the cane a few inches away from his face and stared at it in fear.
"It's a magnificent stick. Straight as an arrow." He puts a bag of coins on the desks. "Keep the change." They both walk out leaving the man to collapse in fear.
~~At the manor~~
"AHHH" Both Finny and Mayrin stare at the skull-shaped trees and bushes in fear.
"Why skulls!" Baldroy question.
"I-I've caused you trouble again..." Grell runs to a stepping stool under a hanging nozzle. "I'll... I'll atone for my death!"
"Quit dyin' over every little thing!" The chef exclaims as he and the other servants try to get him down.
"But for if I don't hang myself, it will be a stain on my honor!" Grell protests. Suddenly a hand pulls out the stool from under his feet making him choke.
"Grell!"
~Time Skip~
"My mansion..." Ciel says after returning from his trip to town. He was not expecting to come home to a pink decorated mansion.
"What in the world happened?" Sebastion asks no one.
"Sebastion!" And the servants come out running wearing weird costumes, with the exception of Mayrin. All of them ran to Sebastion and clung to him.
"What on Earth happened? Or rather, why are you dressed like that?" He asked.
"Ask the crazy girl!" Baldroy says, pointing to the room they just ran out of.
"'Crazy girl'?" Ciels questions. Then turns to the door when he hears strange gurgling noises. Both Ciel and Sebastian peak inside to see Grell hanging by a rope from the roof. "What are you doing?" He asks after he and the others walk into the room.
"As you can see, I'm on the verge of dying." Was his answer.
"Get him down, Sebastian." Ciel orders with a sigh.
"Yes, my lord" As Sebastian was heading to get Grell down, a blur of orange and yellow sped past.
"Ciel!" The blur, which turned out to be a blond-haired girl with pigtails in an orange dress, hugged Ciel with a smile on her face. "Ciel, I missed you!" She exclaimed.
"Elizabeth!" The boy said in surprise.
"Aw, you know I'm always telling you to call me 'Lizzie'!" The blond, Elizabeth, said as she put the boy in arms reach. "Oh, every time I see you, you're just so cute!" She snuggling up against him.
"Lady Elizabeth." Sebastian walks up to the two kids with Grell in his hold.
"Oh, Sebastian. Good afternoon." The girl greets the butler. "Oh, no, you took him down?" She asked after noticing Grell in Sebastian's hold.
"Yes, my lady. He mars the beauty of the room." He answers with a closed-eyed smile.
"Aw, but I made such a lovely decoration out of him." She wines.
"Decoration?" Sebastian questions.
"Yes! Look, the salon is so cute now too, isn't it?" She gestures to the decorated room.
"My... Mansion..." Ciel whispers.
"Only cute things can exist in this mansion." The green-eyed girl states. "Right, Antoinette?" Both guys look over to see Tanak wearing a blond curly hair wig with a pink bow.
"Even you, Tanak," Sebastion says.
"I have a present for you, too." Sebastion looks over and Elizabeth puts a pink bonnet on him. "Oh, it's so cute! You're always dressed all in black, so I thought this might be good!" The servants try and fail to hide there laugh which caused Sebastian to glare at them.
"I'm deeply honored for your consideration for my humble self." Placing a hand on his chest, he thanks her.
"Don't mention it!"
"More importantly, Lizzie, what are you doing here? Where's Auntie?" Ciel asks.
"I snuck away because I wanted to see you, Ciel!" She answered grabbing his hands.
"Sn-Snuck away?! What were you thinking?" He asked as she hugged him.
"Er... Who is she?" Grell asked Sebastian who is standing beside him.
"Oh, this is the daughter of the Marquess of Scotney, Lady Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford," Sebastian answered and Grell tried to repeat but messed up. "Lady Elizabeth is my young master's betrothed." He states.
"Ah, his betrothed." Grell nods but his facial expression changed when finally understands the information he was given. And the three servants react the same.
"Say, I know!" Lizzie starts. "Now that the mansion looks so lovely and all, let's have a ball tonight!" She suggests.
"Listen to me!"Ciel yells after Lizzie, who's dragging Grell with her to the door, after so many attempts to get her to listen.
~~Time Skip~~ After the ball and Ciel is asleep~~
Sebastian walks down the dark hallways, lit by the moonlight coming through the windows. As he travels down the hallway doing his nightly chores, he hears a noise outside. Looking out the window to see if he can see anything, and spots a little bit of blond. Going outside for further inspection, he sees it's a girl. She seems to be unconscious and injured.
Sebastian, deciding to bring her in, picks her up and get to see a closer look at her clothing. She's wearing a revealing outfit that shows more skin than most women do. Entering the guestroom, he sets her down on the bed, under the covers and stands there for a while before exiting.
'I wonder who this girl is. And how did she end on the young master's lawn?' Sebastian wondered. He continued doing his chores as if nothing happened. 'I wonder what the young master will do.' And he continued down the hallway into the dark.
