"Nooooooct." Prompto groaned for what Noctis was certain the thousandth time that drive, "Can we please pull over and make camp, I saw a haven a few miles back. The sun is going down and the daemons will be out soon."

"Sorry Prom, we need to keep going, between Ignis and myself driving we should make it to London by morning, which is only five hours away," Noctis explained, also for the thousandth time, "have a nap or take some photos if your bored," he growled, turning the wheel sharply to avoid running over a bird. The vehicles sudden jerk startled Ignis awake.

"What was that!?" Ignis yelped from the backseat.

"Sorry Specs, go back to sleep, I was just avoiding a bird."

"I see." Ignis pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, "Gladio is asleep, Prompto have you rested at all?"

"No, he's been whining ever since we passed the Vesperpool," Noctis answered for his blonde friend. "I almost pulled over and told him to walk."

"You wouldn't," Prompto shot back.

"No, he wouldn't, never-the-less, I would ask you not to annoy Noct too much Prompto, he needs to focus on the road, especially since we are now driving through unfamiliar territory," Ignis instructed. At Prompto's nod, the chef lay back into his seat and closed his eyes, allowing the feeling of the car to lull him into sleep.

Noct continued driving the Regalia until the first rays of dawn began to colour the black sky, pink and yellow clouds mixed with the dark inkiness of night. It was also at this exact moment that trouble chose to arise. Noctis slammed on the brakes as an Iron Giant began making its way down the road towards them. The giant hulking figure of the daemon was flanked by four goblins, "Time to wake up guys!" Noctis supplied.

Gladio had already hopped out of the car and was making his way to the nearest goblin, greatsword in hand. A flurry of well-placed blows and the goblin was soon disintegrating and Gladiolus was making his way to the next. Ignis was hot on Gladio's heels and using his daggers he carved another goblin as if he was filleting a fish. Prompto got out of the car and took aim at the giant. His shots seemed to bounce harmlessly off its thick armour. Noctis threw his blade toward the giant and with a burst of Lucian magic he warped to the sword that had embedded itself in the giant's arm.

The four men continued their assault with practiced ease, they had been fighting side by side for so long that it was becoming second nature. The giant was unable to get in an attack of its own as it found itself being attacked on all sides, without its goblin horde aiding it, it soon succumbed to its injuries and faded into nothingness.

Prompto started humming a tune, leading Gladio to mutter, "what's got him so cheerful?"

"Probably basking in our hard-fought victory," Ignis replied.

Noctis led banished his weapon back into his armiger and led the way back to the car. "You rested enough to drive specs?"

Ignis smiled, "of course."

Noctis tossed the keys at Ignis and settled into the back seat. It took a short time before the Lucian Prince was asleep. Gladio fished out a book while Prompto started snapping pictures of the sleeping Noctis. "One day I'll be able to sell these for a profit," Prompto joked.

"If you did you would find yourself lying on the floor in a lot of pain," Gladio's voice threatened from behind his book but he was smiling. Ignis laughed as he continued driving toward London. It wouldn't be long now, and even he had to admit, he was a bit excited. The thought of his cooking being tasted by others outside of his three companions was a challenge he relished.

Ciel said nothing as he made his way into his study he hated returning to the city, even if it was for a duty to the queen. The city always felt grimy and dirty, it offended his senses. Sebastian and the other servants were off attending to their tasks, which left the young earl alone to read up on Noctis Lucis Caelum CXIV.

There was actually very little that Sebastian had been able to find for him about the Prince, which was unusual. It appeared that apart from an incident in his youth, Noctis had been fairly sheltered. He had only left the capital city of Insomnia once before the fall of his kingdom and that was to go to Tenebrae in hopes of healing after a daemon attack left him crippled. He had gone to a public high school and was always surrounded by at least two guardians, one Gladiolus Amicita and Ignis Scientia. The earl made a mental note to have Sebastian find information on these two protectors.

Ciel sighed, sitting in his study reading about Noctis was growing boring, any information they had was likely out of date and since Insomnia was now under Nifleheim control most reports about him had become skewed to paint him as a villain. The earl looked up as his butler entered the room, pushing a trolley.

"I have brought your breakfast to the study as you requested my lord. Today's tea is earl grey and a scone as per your request. May I ask why you decided to eat in your study?"

"I wanted to learn what I could about Prince Noctis, it appears most of the information you gathered is lacking."

Sebastian winced but the emotion was gone before the child-earl could notice. "There was little to be found, most of our records dealing with the royal family of Lucis were in regards to past rulers and the former king. From what I could ascertain the Prince chose to shy away from the limelight up until he was ordered to head for Altissia for the pre-arranged wedding with Princess Lunafreya of Tenebrae. "

Ciel hummed, placing his hands under his chin. "I see. Was she not killed during the attack?"

"That is what the news said, but it would appear her death was exaggerated. She is under Nifleheim protection in the Tenabrean city of Accordo." Sebastian replied, curious as to what his master was thinking.

"Interesting. Sebastian send word to the Queen that I would like to entreaty Emperor Aldercapt of Niflheim for the Oracle of Eos to come to the contest," the boy commanded his butler.

Sebastian bowed, "Yes my lord. Shall I also be preparing a room for the Princess to stay in the manor."

"Yes," Ciel commanded, "also I need you to find me information on Ignis Scientia and Gladiolus Amicita, both are citizens of Insomnia.

"Yes my lord," with a curt bow the demon left the room to begin preparations, it appeared the coming days would prove to be a fun distraction.

I do not own anything! Final Fantasy XV belongs to Square Enix and Black Butler belongs to Yana Toboso. This was just for fun.
