Chapter 10: Annoying Guests
~Ciel's POV~
I woke up with the rustling of the curtains. "Young master It's time to wake up" I opened my eyes but closed it again because of the sudden light.
I sat up from my bed while Sebastian was preparing my tea. "Is that Earl grey?" I looked at the tea and inhaled its warm smell then sipped. "Yes, It is Earl grey"
"How is Lady Jessica?"
"She's already been taken care of by Tanaka" I sipped my tea again. "I see". While Sebastian was dressing me and telling me my schedule, Someone came barging in "CIEL!"
We both looked at the annoying voice "W-what are you doing here?!" I asked annoyed
"We came here to see you! Besides I missed you a lot, We haven't seen each other for weeks!" Soma said 'These Idiots will bug me again!' I said in my thought.
"Good morning Master Ciel" Said his butler Agni while bowing to me. "Will you two get out of my room!"
"Prince Soma, Mr Agni, If you don't mind, young master is still getting dressed, If you would like please wait at the dining area and you can join young master at breakfast" Sebastian Cooed.
"Very well! We will wait for you at the dining, hurry up and get dressed we will have a lot to talk about! Come Agni!" he waved his hands to Agni then went out for the door.
"Jo ajna!" Agni said, he turned to me "We will see you later Master Ciel, Mr Sebastian" he then bowed again before leaving my room.
"Great! Those two idiots are here again! I won't be able to do anything if those two are here!"
Sebastian just smiled while continuing on dressing me "There is nothing we can do once those two steps on the mansion, you just have to get along with them"
I raised an eyebrow. "Get along? You have got to be kidding me?" As he finished dressing and getting my hair done he stood up then arranged the tray he brought. "Please excuse me" He bowed at me then left the room.
I was walking in the hallway when I saw Tanaka "Good Morning young master" he bowed
"Where is she?"
"She's still in her room preparing"
"Is that so," I stared at him stoically "Tanaka please escort Lady Jessica to the dining, we have two annoying guest today." I said he looked at me then smiled.
"I think I know who you're talking about" He bowed. "Tanaka" I called
"Yes young master?"
"Please take care of her, don't let anything or anyone harm her" He smiled again
"Your father said the very same thing to me before the day of that incident, but that time he was referring to you, I did not expect to hear the same words from you." He moved forward then placed his right hand on my left shoulders.
"I will protect that child as I did to protect you at that time." He gave me another warm yet gentle smile. I looked at him with an expressionless face.
"Thank you" was all I can say.
I left him then head towards the dining. As I enter I was three more annoying guest.
"Lau, Undertaker what are you two doing here?" They all looked at my direction, Soma was already in his sit.
"Ah Earl! Good morning, Well I really don't know why I'm here I just have the feeling that I must go here." He said then looked at the girl beside him.
"Hihihi, I came here because I needed to give you something, and" he tilted his head to the side and said " It is not safe for her to go to my shop today, So instead of her coming to my place I decided to come here"
"What do you mean?" He just giggled then Jessica entered the room along with Tanaka.
"Good morning Ciel." I turned to her she was wearing a wide neckline, loose pink dress about a 3 inch lace wrapped around her lower breast then tied in a big bow behind. Her hair was fixed in a big bun and some loose hair on each side of her face.
"Woah! Who is she Ciel?" Soma asked
"This is my older sister Jessica Phantomhive" His eyes widened
"What! You did not tell me you had an older sister!" Soma runs to our side grabbing Jessica's hands
"Nice to meet you I am Soma Asman Kadar the 26th prince of Bengal, and by the way you're beautiful." She just smiled.
"Nice to meet you too Prince Soma, This is my first time meeting a prince."
"Well this is your lucky day!" Soma Said then started bragging about himself. Jessica is now feeling awkward then she noticed the other two guests.
"Ah! Lord Lau and Undertaker are here too."
"Nice to see you again Milady!" Lau said. We saw Sebastian and Agni entering the room along with the food.
"Breakfast is ready Ladies and Gentlemen." He said. Jessica stared at him awkwardly her cheeks are now dusted in light pink, I smirked then whispered to her.
"You know if you stare at him like that, he might melt" She glared at me in irritation.
"It's so early in the morning Ciel, Don't make me lose my temper with you!" She said in a calm but threatening voice.
I just smiled at her amusingly then went for my sit. As I was halfway through the table Jessica shouted. "CIEL!" I turned around to see what happened but I was already tackled down by her.
She stood up then got something on the table then threw the thing in the window we heard someone screamed. "AHH!"
"It's an ambush!" Jessica yelled. I was still in a trance everyone panicked. I saw the 3 servants in battle position, Sebastian already jumped through the window. Tanaka came running to our side.
"Young master, Milady we have to get out of here!"
"No! I have to help them!" Jessica said
"This is not the time Milady your safety comes first now please come with me!" Tanaka held each of our arms bringing us into a far away room, Soma and Agni followed. Tanaka held out a gun then went for the window.
I looked at Jessica, her eyes were flaring with anger. "How?" I asked. Se blinked a few times then looked at me.
"Pardon me?"
"How did you know it was an ambush?" She starred at me she did not spoke then someone came knocking on the door. "It is me young master" Sebastian said then opened the door revealing him with two tied up men on his right hand, then throwing them in front of us. Lau, Undertaker and the 3 servants behind him.
"Who sent you here!" Jessica asked "W-w-we don't know!" The man in a blue suit said. "Really?" She asked raising and eyebrow.
"Y-y-y-yes, P-p-p-please don't kill us!" The man in brown suit said.
"Oh no, we won't kill you I promise that, but we don't want to let you go just yet!" She said with an Evil grin plastered on her face.
"Sebastian would you please bring these two outside" She said.
"What are you going to do with them?" I asked she looked at me with those sarcastic smile then back to the two ambushers. "We will give them the Phantomhive's best hospitality."
As we were outside the two men who ambushed us was still tied up. Jessica flipped her dress up and revealed a knife on her left leg and a gun on her right leg. She grabbed her gun then pointed it to the two men.
"Now I have a total of 6 bullets in my gun, we will have a question and answer portion here, and every time you don't answer" She pointed her gun to the sky then fired.
"Oh lucky you we only have 5 bullets left." The two men trembling in fear. We all stared at her, she then turned around and winked at us. "Now you Gentlemen stay there and watch, explanations will be entertained later, for now"
She looked back at the trembling men in her front." I'm the one who will ask questions" Her voice was cold and threatening, it sent shivers down my spine, Telling me to not mess with her.
"Okay, first question who hired you?" She pointed her gun to them and smiled.
"W-w-we d-d-don't know!" She fires the gun and it hit the ground near the man's crotch "Aw I missed! 4 bullets left, Now did you really understand the rules?"
"W-we're just hired by someone who goes for the Allais of Tim!, h-he w-w-worked for someone else that's all we know!" She smiled sarcastically again.
"And who is this Tim? Anymore details?"
"We d-d-don't know anymore! That's all we know!" She fired again and hits the ground near the other man's head. "Tsk! Missed again!" I swear this girl is more demonic than Sebastian. She sighed then walked over to the man wearing a blue suit then pointed her gun to his head.
"Now this time I will not miss, so answer me, who is this Tim? You better answer now, since I am not a very patient woman I might pull this trigger and kill you off instantly." The man trembles a lot then spoke
"T-tim is out mentor!, we are from a group of assassins, he sent us here"
"To kill Ciel Phantomhive?"
"Y-yes!"
"What is the reason why you have to kill him?"
"It's about business that's all we know really!" The man in blue was crying 'how pathetic'
"Good job. You finished the game without letting yourselves being killed." She stood up but her gun still pointing at the trembling men "You may go" She smiled a warm smile, both of the men sighed in relief.
"BUT! Do not tell any details to anyone especially this Tim, Who was here and what happened here! Because if you do!" She fires again this time it passed the man's head I saw some of his hair being cut by the bullet.
"I will make sure that I will not miss anymore bullets for both of you, are we making ourselves clear?"
"y-y-yes!" she untied the ropes of the two men
"Now run!" She fired the gun again to the sky the two men started running for their lives.
"Imbeciles!" She muttered.
~Jessica's POV~
As I watch those two fools run for their lives, I looked back at the people who were watching me torture the ambushers. I gave them a smile
"Is it ok to let them go Milady?" Finny asked
"Of course one of the things you could do to shut them up is kill them psychologically, It will take time for them to recover mentally so we don' have to worry about it." I said still smiling
"I'm hungry let's go back inside" I walked passed by them I heard Lau said something.
"She's scary"
"Yes, very contrary to her mother." Tanaka continued.
"Let's go inside!" Ciel demanded. They all followed inside the manor.
The Dining room was silent. The only thing you can hear is the cutleries hitting the plates. They were all staring at me, I ignored their stares as I ate my food. 'I really can't stand people staring at me!' I thought.
I put my cutleries on both sides of my plate then put my chin under my palms. "Ok, ask away" I said staring at Ciel.
He looked at me as it examining every part of me, I bet he's choosing his words carefully. "This is not the first time I saw your ability. Don't tell me its instincts again?" he said with a straight face. I did not speak everyone was waiting for me to answer. I then decided to speak.
"I was trained by a world renowned assassin." I finally said. The three servants, Soma and his companions were the only ones shocked. The others looked at me amusingly but Ciel stayed with his stoic face.
"So your an assassin?" Lau asked. Tanaka cleared his throat, "No she is not" All of them looked at Tanaka. Me and Ciel are still having a glaring competition.
"Lady Maria hired an assassin to train Lady Jessica but not because she wanted her to be an assassin, she wanted her o learn some self defence."
"Why does it have to be an assassin? "Ciel asked.
"An assassin kills its target through the shadows. They can use anything to kill its target. Nanay said that if I know how an assassin work I will know how to defend and evade myself from them since they are the #1 on the list that will probably kill me. At first it was just to defend myself but when I turned 16 Nanay told me that there is another reason for training me with an assassin. That is to be able to protect the names of the Phantomhive and to protect"
I stared at him for a while then said "You" Everyone was silent no one dared to speak
"Anymore questions?" Again no one answered.
Ciel stood up "Undertaker, Lau follow me in my study, and you" He looked at Soma "Go home! We have important issues to discuss"
"But Ciel! I just came here!" Soma argued.
"Prince we have to respect their privacy, let us go for now, we will visit them some other time." His butler said
"Let them stay" I said everyone's gazes were at me
"I'll keep them company while you can discuss that important thing you were talking about."
Ciel sighed "Fine, do as you please" he then walked to the door, Lau and Undertaker following him behind.
When the door closed I sighed in relief then looked at Soma and the other servants. "You want to play a game?" I asked.
"What kind of game?" Soma replied
"Patintero" They all looked at each other confusingly then back at me "I assure you it will be fun!"
