*Four Years Later*
"Usha!" I called.
"Yes, your Majesty?" my maid asked.
"Tell Ubel to get the carriage ready. We must visit an Earl the Queen here asked me to meet."
She bowed and walked out of the study.
Must has changed since my parents were killed. I became the ruler of two wealthy and popular countries, living in England at the moment, and acquired a whole new servant staff.
I changed into a black dress and my tiara. I had to make my status as a queen known, or my parents would be disappointed in me, I know it.
"Queen Mary, the carriage is ready." said one of the maids, Daeva.
"Alright," I said, walking towards the door.
I turned toward her. "You, Ubel, and Usha shall be joining me. I trust you three the most with my life."
"Of course, your Highness. I will inform the others."
I nodded as she walked away.
"We have arrived, my Queen," Ubel called from the front of the carriage.
The door opened and Ubel helped me out of the carriage.
"Ubel, walk with me to the door, Daeva, Usha, stay here until I call for you." I ordered.
They bowed and Ubel walked in front of me up to the door.
He knocked on the door, and soon enough, a butler answered the door.
"Is this the Phantomhive residence?" Ubel asked.
"Yes, it is, but I do not believe that the Young Master was expecting any visitors this afternoon."
I walked in front of Ubel and handed the butler a letter from the Queen.
"Your Queen asked me to visit him today. She wishes for me to be on good terms with her 'favorites', as she put it." I said. "I am Queen Mary of Italy, and Empress of China. This is my butler, Ubel." I introduced.
He moved aside and bowed. "I am Sebastian Michaelis. I will get the master."
Once he left, I turned to Ubel.
"What is he? I know he is not human." I told him.
"He's the same as Usha, Daeva, and I."
I nodded. "I will have to be cautious here. If the Earl Phantomhive has a demon butler, who knows what else happens.."
"You know we will protect you, my Queen," Daeva said from behind.
I turned and saw her and Usha standing there. I sighed in frustration.
"I thought I said to stay at the carriage." I said.
"We sensed a creature of the supernatural. We had to see if you were safe. That is part of our job, remember?" smirked Usha.
I scowled at the two demons before turned back to the stairs, waiting.
"Who are you?"
I turned and saw a boy my age, who I assumed was the Earl.
"I am Queen Mary of Italy and Empress of China. These are my maids, Daeva and Usha, and my butler, Ubel. You must be the Earl Phantomhive."
"Yes. You said that the Queen sent you?"
"Of course. Here's the letter," I handed it to him, "Now, is there anything else you would like to question me about, or shall we continue?"
We spoke for almost two hours, when Usha slowly walked into Phantomhive's study.
"Ma'am, it's almost four. You will be late if we do not leave."
I stood up, turning back towards the Earl.
"I apologize, but I must leave. Goodbye Earl of Phantomhive."
"Then, goodbye Queen Mary. I presume I will be seeing you again?"
"You would be correct, but next time I'll let you know ahead of time. And please, call me Mary."
"Then call me Ciel."
*After Mary has left*
"Sebastian!"
"Yes, young master?"
"Find anything you can on Queen Mary Nerezza or Italy and Empress of China."
"Would you like to know where she's going now?"
"Yes, and do it quickly. There's something off about that girl. I intend to find out what."
