The following days were quite normal, until Ciel received a letter from Alois Trancy, the Queen's spider. When Ciel saw the letter he immediately threw it away in digust. Another of those initations to go to a formal ball, what a waste of time! Ciel thought to himself.
There also was a letter from the Queen that said that she wished for Ciel to attend Alois Trancy's ball and to bring a friend with him so he could socialise with more people. The date of the ball was on the 29th of February, 1899.
Ciel ovbiously didn't want to invite Elizabeth, Soma. Lau and Ran-Mao ovbiously had an invitation, so there weren't many people left, until he thought of the perfect person...Lucian!
So at lunchtime he was eating in the dining room with Lucian sitting next to him eating a triple layer strawberry spongecake. Ciel took this chance to ask him to see him in his office after dinner at 8:30pm.
Ciel could hear footsteps coming towards his office. Instantly he knew it was Luce. Ciel was starting to regret trying to invite Lucian to the ball, but it was too late to change his decision. Ciel heard two knocks on his door.
"Come in."
Luce opened the doors, came in and sat on the chair infront of Ciel's. "Is there something you need to talk to me about, Ciel?"
"Well...I got an invitation to a ball, the Queen says that I should bring someone with me so, could you come with me to the ball?" Ciel hoped that Luce would say "Yes" so he wouldn't have to ask someone else.
Ciel was extremly relieved now that Lucian had said that he would come. "The ball isn't until the 29th and it's still the 15th so we can go down to town and get Nina Hopkins to measure you and get a couple of suits made for you," Ciel said.
"Ok, but when I get measured I'll change my surname to Sanders, because most people think that I died along with Father and Mother," after he said that Ciel could see a glimpse of pain of Luce's face after mentioning the death of their parents.
"We'll depart from here on the 17th at 1:30pm sharp and go down to town," Ciel told Luce.
NIGHT TIME
Sebastian knocked quietly on his Young Master's door, expecting an answer because it ws just 10:45pm, but he recieced no reply. He knocked harder, but again he received no reply. Sebastian opened the door, now expecting to find his Young Master asleep on his chair, but his Young Master wasn't there. Where is my Young Mast- Sebastian's thoughts were cut off when he heard footsteps approaching him, he instinctively spun around to see who it was.
Armeria saw Sebastian spin around so she told him that her master found Ciel asleep so he ordered her to put Ciel to bed so he wouldn't catch a cold.
Sebastian felt a pang of jealosy and anger after Armeria had explained everything to him but he was relieved to know that she wouldn't steal his Young Master's soul from him.
