King

If he wanted, Ciel Phantomhive could rid himself of lace.

He could rid himself of lace, of velvet, of other childish foppery-- he could force his butler to dress him as the adult he carries himself as: in suits and waistcoats and long-legged pants.

But there is deception in his finery; camouflage in his clothing. For what member of the arrogant gentry would ever suspect such a sweet looking boy of evil? No. There is a Power in his pomp-- and he relishes the idiotic ignorance of his foes. Willingly perpetuates their incorrect perceptions. Loves the moment when the fear sets in, and their glassy eyes widen in realization and terror... but oh, just moments Too Late.

For indeed, a one-eyed man is king in the land of the blind.
