Sebastian watched as various people tried the curry. The crowd was split between his Curry Bun and Agni's Lobster and seven-flavoured sauce.

"Chef Sebastian of the Funtom Company," the Queen's butler said. "Her Majesty wishes to try a Curry Bun. Could I please ask you to bring one over here?"

At that, he brought one over, bowing to the butler. "Please enjoy, Your Majesty." As she took the bun in her hand, everything stood still. Even Evangeline held her breath. After whispering to her butler, he said,

"Her Majesty declares, 'A food that is easy for even children to eat, requiring neither knife nor fork, fulfilling both the rich and the poor, allowing both children and adults to partake of it equally is commensurate with my goal of creating a kind and pure country.' Treasuring children and the future, this kind of stance moves Her Majesty greatly."

At that, Evangeline knew her mate had won. She wanted to cry in joy, if it wasn't for the crude voice that broke the silence.

"Don't make me sick! That's too sweet! Equality? The future? From this bountiful country, where there are no hardships, what a pretentious queen!" It was Meena. A dark aura had surrounded her, which made Evangeline even more sick.

"Her Majesty!" Ciel said. He had ran towards in an attempt to protect her, but he was blocked by several men who had the same effect as Meena.

"Ciel, you idiot!" She tried to get to him, but she was pulled away Soma and Agni.

"You really mustn't try to fight," Agni said. "It could harm the babies."

"But-"

"Remain hidden."

Sebastian had already gotten to Ciel, and was fending off a goddess-like Meena. "What the hell is going on?"

"Agni, what is this?" Soma asked.

"I don't know. After eating the curry, all of a sudden Meena and a portion of the audience have become like this."

Soma tasted one of the curries, the one that the French chef had made. Evangeline smelled it. It smelled of that same strong spice she saw him slip in.

"Kali-ma!"

"Pardon?"

"My father told me of this once. It reacts to the darkness, desire, and impurities in people's hearts and it drives them into demonic madness. It is a forbidden spice. And Meena..."

"I had already told Agni, don't blame yourself," Evangeline said. "Meena's heart was dark, and it allowed her to succumb to the spice."

"Yes, but I blamed others for my loneliness. I didn't care for other people's feelings, and I never realized Meena's situation. No one should have to take care of brat like that. But, Agni, you have always stayed by my side. I'm sorry for not noticing until now. Will you remain my khansama?"

"Of course."

"Then, stop Meena."

"Jo ajna!" And he was off, helping Sebastian as he was being surrounded.

"Hmm..." Evangeline thought.

"What?"

"If it really is the power of the spice, then why is one group being affected. This world is filled with dark hearts. Shouldn't there be more going out of control?"

"That is true. I wonder why is that..." Before he could ponder more on her words, he noticed Meena charging after the Queen."Damn it! Wait!" He rushed after her, ignoring Evangeline's protests against it.

"This idiot!" She watched as Meena tumbled forward, and the prince took the chance to pin her down, restraining her. But, it would not be enough. Something needed to abate the evil within her. Something kind...Oh! "Sebastian, the Curry Bun! Give them your Curry Bun!"

"Yes, love!"

Everyone that had been affected by Kali-ma was dealt with, the darkness being conquered by the kindness from the Curry Bun.

"It's quite ironic, isn't it? A demon created a kind curry," Evangeline said.

Ciel sighed. "A completely ironic joke. However, if he has decided to imbue it with kindness, then its power was perfect."

The royal butler, as Evangeline had decided to call him, approached them, a smile on his face. She still did not like him. She knew something was off about him, much like how she felt about Angela. He had the same exact stench that made her sick, and all she wanted to do was claw at his face.

"What will happen to them?"

"They will not be mistreated. Master Ciel, you did a sterling job today. Also, for obtaining the Royal Warrant, I congratulate you sincerely. I have a word from Her Majesty. 'I have put you through a great deal of trouble. I am ever watching your work. I am the light, as you are the shadow.' Our positions may be different, but I believe our wishes are the same. Please continue to use your strength for Her Majesty's benefit in the future."

"I shall."

He was talking of his and Ciel's positions, not the Queen's...Why? The feeling in Evangeline's heart had only worsened with his words. She tried not to frown when the man turned to her.

"Lady Evangeline. Her Majesty wishes to pay her respects to your mother and father. Her words: 'They were phenomenal doctors, and perfect swords. As I have thrust upon the role of Guard Dog to Ciel, I had thrust upon the role as my Poisoned Sword to you, and for that I am truly sorry, and grateful.' I do hope that you will continue your work as the Sword after the birth of your children."

She smiled, hoping it did not look forced. "Of course."

"Well then, I shall take my leave." The two watched as he left, Evangeline sticking her tongue out at his back.

"You really don't like him?"

"Something is very wrong with that picture. I don't know what it is, but the twins are really fussing." She began rubbing her belly, but it was not helping her.

"Evangeline?" Sebastian asked.

"I'm...fine..."

"You're pale."

"Sebastian, I said I'm-" Before she could finish her sentence, a sharp pain struck her, completely different from her usual pains. It was enough to cause her to cry out, she nearly double over.

"Evangeline!" Ciel said. His butler was already at her side, unsure of what to do.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"I think it's time."
