Sebastian's POV

The young master and I were walking the streets of London. To be precise, we were walking the streets of Whitechapel. He hopefully doesn't think we could find someone who can clean in such a dirty hole, does he?

Suddenly the young master stopped before somewhat which remembered me of a human being. Dirty as the streets and almost frozen to death. After a second it looked up to me and I saw that it must be a girl, even if the hunger had left its marks. She shot me a death glare I should get used to in the next weeks.

"You" , young master almost shouted at the girl. I ,and I suppose he as well, expected the girl to stare at him with wide eyes full of agony, but instead she glared at him with a gaze he normally uses if some peasants dare to speak up to him. She answered quiet and controlled "Yes. Have you any problems with me, whatever noble you are?" Sympathetic. Not so sheep-like as the other humans around.

Oh, the little brat answers. Could be a good fight."How dare you? I am the Earl of Phantomhive and..."

She interrupted him again. I'll maybe like her in the future, if she has any and just maybe of course. "And what? Don't you think that I know what your family did and you do?" Suddenly she leaned forward and whispered in his ear. "I know that you're the watchdog of the queen and I know what this means. The only question which is left is : Are you going to kill me like your father killed my family?"Even my mouth was for a short moment extraordinary wide open.

Reader's POV

The expression in their faces would have been very funny if the things I said weren't true, but unfortunately they are.

The former Earl of Phantomhive , Vincent, the father of this caricature before me killed my family. All of them. Sure, my father and my uncles were criminals and even today I hate what they have done, but my mothers and my siblings were innocent.

I was five years old when he entered our house and shot everyone except me. I hid in a secret little room my father used as a little storage in his "office". I have seen Vincent Phantomhive, standing above my mother ignoring her prayers for her and her children, trough an almost closed door. And then he just shot her.

But enough of the past, what does this brat wants from me? And who is that behind him? His big brother? No, then he would be the Earl. A cousin?Maybe. Or maybe just a servant, some kind of body guard? Could also be.

Anyway. The little one's shock seems to stay, maybe I'll better talk to the other one. "So?"

He stood for a moment in silence and seemed to think about what to say. To my own shame the only thought I had in this moment was "This Hmm-face looks really good on him."

I was almost surprised as he answered "The young lord and I are on a search for a new maid. We already have one, but it seems we need an additional one. If Milady wants to have a job for more than a day ,and a new home as well , you may come with us to the mansion."

Now it was on me (and the young Earl) to look rather shocked to the man."What?", escaped my lips, concentrating not to stutter.

"I, as head butler of the Phantomhive household, would like you to be our new maid. You seem to need a job and I guess you can clean.", he ended with a chuckle.

Sebastian's POV

If you looked on the young lord's face you could read his mind perfectly, even if you were a human. This is not working as he wants it to. Before he could reassure his composure I quickly asked the girl "So, would you like to accompany us?". As an answer she just nodded, I guess she was to surprised by my offer to do something complicated like speaking.

Someone may wonder, why I invited her to come with us as she just outed herself as a foe to the Phantmhives. But I saw a few things in her, things I notice only on a few humans, such as reliability, courage and lets call it"education" (not like going to school, more like manners etc.).

Before they both could protest I took them both in a carriage to quickly get us back home.
