"Young master? He's made his move," Sebastian said.
"Good. Let's follow him," Ciel said, hopping up from the bed. Yuri escorted Lau into the room before cleaning up the sheets on the bed.
"Take me with you," Soma said, appearing in the doorway.
"You? Why?" Ciel asked.
"I know Agni has been sneaking out after I fall asleep. I want to know why, too. That is my right," Soma said.
~o/0\o~
"A nice place, who lives here?" Soma asked.
"This estate belongs to Herald West Jeb. He imports a wide range of goods from India. He also owns various stores, coffee houses in the like," Ciel explained as the five of them peaked from the corner of a building. "I've met him once, he's disgustingly obsessed with his social status.
"People at one of his business have been found trussed up and hung upside down. Mr West happened to be away at the time so however, fortunately for him, he managed to escape unharmed."
"My... Isn't he lucky?" Lau said. Prince Soma thought about what Sebastian was telling them.
"Shall we have a look?" Ciel said but he wasn't asking.
"Indeed." Yuri nodded. Sebastian grabbed onto Ciel's waist before shooting up.
The five snuck around the mansion, moving quietly. The ran upstairs before cracking open a door and listening in to the conversation.
"Why not relax with a nice scotch?" The voice asked Agni, who then sat up in alert as the voice got closer. "An excellent one from Iranian Brookes. They hold the royal warrant, you know?" A man in a tailcoat stepped forward and offered Agni the drink. He did not take it and the man moved away. "Our plan has been perfect so far," The voice continued, setting down the drink. "We've done well, Agni. Stringing up anyone else will not be necessary. With this blessed hand of yours-" The man, Mr West, grabbed Agni's bandaged arm. "-the royal warrant may as well already be in my pocket." Agni's eyes filled with fear as the man's face came down close to his. From the crack in the door, the group listened.
"Royal Warrant? Thats what all this is about?" Ciel wondered aloud.
"If I carry out this plan, then Mina-" The prince's eyes widened at the mention of his former servant's name.
"Where is Mina!?" he shouted, bursting into the room.
"What the...?"
"My prince?" Ciel gasped as moved forward, But Sebastian quickly pulled him back and out of view.
"Wes is almost certain to recognise us, my lord," the butler whispered. "We must stay back." Meanwhile, Prince Soma ran up to his Kasama, grabbing at the front of his tunic in anger.
"What is this?! You have known where Mina was all along, Agni?!" The prince shouted.
"I see, this intrusive young man is your master," West stated. Yuri scoffed.
"Rokudenashi (bastard/asshole)," Yuri murmured. Soma pushed Agni away as he glared at Wes.
"You are the man who took Mina away." He turned back to Agni. "get him. Do you hear me?" Soma shook as he looked down in guilt and shame. 'Well this can't get any worse,' Yuri thought.
'Don't speak so soon,' Sebastian replied.
"What are you waiting for!?" Soma shouted.
"Let's grab that idiot prince and get out of here! Right now." Ciel said.
"But West will recognise you as soon as you walk in," Lau stated.
"I'll take care of it," Sebastian said, hand on his heart and his usual shit eating smile. Back inside the room, Soma stood, waiting for Agni to do something.
"Agni," West Said, "Are you going to take care of this brat for me?" Agni's fist clenched as his whole body tensed. He shut his eyes. He was torn. West's face split into a sickening smirk. "Well?" Agni's face drenched in sweat before he moved to strike his prince. His hand swung down. 'Agni...' Soma thought, putting his hands in front of his face to block the strike. However, a certain suit-clad butler came in between them, blocked Agni's hand from making contact with the prince. Both parties were shocked. Yuri, who hadn't expect her mate to stand up wearing a deer head, was equally as shocked. 'Wha...' She looked behind her, noting the deer head on the wall was gone. 'When did he even grab that?!' West looked blankly before he jerked back, pointing to Sebastian.
"A deer man!? What's going on here?!" He shouted before Sebastian turned to look at him
"Yes, thank you for stating the obvious," He said sarcastically. "I am a deer," he bowed, "I've come for the prince."
"He's a foreign spy! Get him!" West ordered.
"No," Sebastian said, his hand in the air. "I am simply one hell of a-"
"Kill him!" West interrupted. Agni only started at him. "So something or our agreement is over." A pained gasp left Agni as horror fell over his face. "Now!" Agni clenched his fists again. Blood dripped down from his eyes like tears and he fell to his knees.
"Since I was reborn, I have only one god and master. I vowed that I would never swing my fist for anyone but him. I am guilty of betraying that vow. Please forgive me!" Agni said.
"Don't do it, Agni!" Soma begged. Agni tore the bandage over his hand, a power welling up inside that caused Yuri to pull Ciel closer to her, ready to shield him from the aftermath. Agni's eyes were white and he held a dangerous aura around him as he moved to strike. Thankfully, Sebastian moved the prince before he was hit. Agni refused to let up, striking the duo as West scream because his room was being destroyed.
"The crystal glasses I brought in Thomas Wood! Do you know how much they're worth?" Outside the room, the Ciel peaked through the door with Yuri and Lau smiled from beside the door
"Sounds like trouble, perhaps we should leave now?" As Lau finished his sentence he picked up the earl. "Come, my lord, its time to go."
"Hey! We're attracting too much attention! Let's grab the kid and get out of here, Sebastian!" Ciel shouted. Lau then turned, followed by Yuri, and they began to leave.
"Yes, sir." Sebastian moved out of the way of Agni's blow, jumping out the window with the prince over his shoulder. Soma watched them leave, aura disappearing as more tears fell down his face.
~o/0\o~
Back at the manor, the trio sat down at the table, drinking tea.
"With that kind of punch, that fellow is no ordinary man, is he?" Lau said.
"It is a mental technique he uses called samadhi. When he gets like that, no one can touch him," Prince Soma explained.
"Never heard of it," Ciel said.
"I imagine it's of trance. Agni had absolute faith in his master, consequently, he is able to produce a type of superhuman power," Sebastian explained. "His powers are born of something we cannot understand, built on complete love and trust on another person," Sebastian said and Ciel looked up at him.
"Samadhi itself is a state of meditative consciousness that it derived through meditation. He must've focused himself till he could put himself into this state," Yuri explained.
"But this betrayal? Why would he do it?!" Soma slammed his hands against the table. "WHY DO THE PEOPLE CLOSE TO ME ALWAYS LEAVE!?" He shouted Soma shoved the milk tray and cups away and they shattered on the floor, shocking host and butler.
"Prince Soma," Ciel said but the prince was already standing, his fists clenched and his eyes downcast.
"All of them...? But why...?" Soma said, his voice low and broken. He ran from the room, shoving open the door and disappearing. The group turned their gazes down to the broken china and spilt milk and sugar on the carpet.
"Oh, just look at the tea set I ordered. So well suited to my master..." Sebastian said, sighing. "Children. Seems that this one will be needing some personal discipline." Yuri sighed before fetching cleaning supplies. She returned a moment later before she knelt down, placing the larger broken pieces onto the tray she brought. She dipped the brush in the water and began to scrub the milk stain out. The others had left before she started. She sighed, looking at all the sugar and smalling pieces of pottery on the carpet. She tried to fish the broken pieces out of the carpet but only ended up cutting her fingers. She sighed again, giving up and deciding to leave the last of the clean up to the butler. She hit off the lights and closed the door.
~o/0\o~
The night was beautiful, the moon and stars shining through the spare bedroom window. The lights were off and Soma was curled up under his covers until he was pushed off and fell to the floor.
"You careless pig!" Soma said.
"I'm the careless one?" Sebastian said. Soma let out a gasp, looking up at the butler. "You're in England, as the estate of my young master, Lord Phantomhive. What you childishly don't need to recognise is that as it stands, your presence in this household amounts little more than a nuisance." Soma's eyes widened. "You're a helpless child who can do nothing without Agni by his side. But now, your pillar of strength has left you."
"You're right..." Soma said as he looked at the ground in shame. "I've lost everyone now. Everyone who mattered to me." Sebastian's chuckled rang through the room.
"Lost? You're more of a child than I thought," The butler said and Soma looked up at the demon. "You haven't lost anything prince. You can't have lost anything that you never had to begin with." Soma felt like he was in the dark as Sebastian's voice surrounding him. "Status from your parents. Wealth from your parents. A servant from your parents. Never before in your life has anything actually belonged to you. Isn't that rights?"
"It's not," Soma said, his voice weak.
"Some part of you must've known the truth about Agni. But you were too much of a coward to face the truth, weren't you?" Soma cupped his eyes, trying to block out Sebastian's harsh words.
"It's not." He brought himself back to reality as his voice shouted. "It's not! You're wrong! You're wrong!" The prince shuffled to the door, trying to escape. But the door was shut by the demon before he had a chance. They made eyes contact, Soma still slightly out of his and Sebastian had his signature smirk on his face.
"You know I'm not wrong. You're finally seeing the truth. And now you want to play the tragic hero. What a hopelessly pathetic brat you are." Soma jerked back as if he had been hit. He turned and tried to walk away but ended up dropped to the ground.
"He said he'd stay with me forever," Soma said, his voice weak as he visibly shook.
"And you actually believe that? You're so naive. Why on earth would they stay when they got nothing in return?" Soma looked up, his eyes wide. "Thats something most three years olds understand. Time to face facts. Nobody ever loved you."
"Thats enough of that."
"Master."
"Who knows, I easily could've ended up the same way as him, if it hadn't been for that." Ciel Sebastian noticed Yuri standing protectively behind Ciel, as images of the night came to him. The burning mansion... the chains and hands holding him down... Soma stood up, looking at the younger.
"What are you talking about?"
"My family. They were killed and my home was burnt down. I was treated worse than you would treat any animal. I was helpless. Just a child." Ciel gripped his own elbows, his hands shaking. "But I came back to make the people who that to me suffer the same humiliation. And I will find them." The images of the white cloaked and white masked men and woman were evident in the earl's brain. "My parents were killed for a reason. If I remain a family head and make myself a nuisance to the people who hurt them, they'll target me. Thats what I'm waiting for. Someday they'll come to take my life too."
"But why? Why does it?" Soma asked.
"Because the alternative is grief and melancholy. If I stand still than I might as well be dead with them," Ciel explained. "But I'm alive and still standing, moving on my own two feet. I'm going to die someday and I'd rather do it without regrets. I'm not going to pretend that I'm doing anything noble. This is no grand revenge, it's just a game, and I'm waiting to see who wins," Ciel said. "However far I fall, so long as there's so much of a thread left, I will use it to climb. I'll take hold of it," Ciel took a hold of the metaphorical thread. "and refuse to give up. I am still human. I can do that much." Soma listened in astonishment, his eyes now so large and filled with shock. "But every person must decide on their own whether to grab it." Ciel stood up straight, meeting the prince's eyes. "Enough of this talk, Sebastian, Yuri, we need to talk about West now." Ciel turned out the door. "Come."
"Yes." Sebastian left the room as Yuri waited behind to close the door. Soma could only stare at where the young earl had just stood. Yuri closed over the door, bowing her head to the prince before following the duo. 'Every person must decide if they're going to grab it...' Soma thought to himself.
"Ciel!" Ciel kept walking but looked over his shoulder at the prince's voice. "I am seventeen, but you are right. Compared to you I am only a child." 'He's seventeen? He's older than me?' "I am nothing more than a spoilt brat." Soma looked away. "I knew there had been something that was bothering Agni, but I did not bother to ask, did I? Now I want to know, I want to see them in person and ask why they left me. I'm begging you, let me come!-"
"Don't think so. You're a naive idiot, I don't want to chaperone you. Of curse, it's not like I'm going to go the trouble of locking you in here," Ciel said, as he began to walk away. Soma was silent for a moment, evaluating Ciel's words before he sprung forward and hugged the young lord.
"Thank you!"
"Get off!" Ciel shouted. Soma stepped away before his face filled with remorse.
"I am sorry I lost my temper earlier and destroyed your tea set. please forgive," Soma said before he turned to Sebastian. He jumped behind Ciel, clearly fearful of the butler. "Oh yeah and you too. I'm very sorry." Yuri hed back a chuckle at the prince's behaviour.
"It's alright," Sebastian said. "I find you entertaining."
~o/0\o~
With a new tea set on the table, Yuri poured the tea and Sebastian placed the cups onto the table in front of the three men.
"I didn't realise West was after a royal warrant, though, given his obsession with status, it does make sense."
"I was wondering, what exactly is a royal warrant." Sebastian delivered the final cup to Soma, who jumped away from the butler in fear.
"Its an endorsement placed by the royal family upon their favourite vendors," Lau explained. "Royal warrant holder are official purveyors to the crown."
"Yes, indeed," Sebastian confirmed. "And in one week, a curry expedition will be held as part of the festivities in the crystal palace. I'm told it should be quite the event."
"Curry?"
"What's more, from what I heard, her majesty, who is widely known to be a lover of curry, will be in attendance, that day."
"Nothing more than a rumour," Ciel said, quickly dismissing this. "Ever since her husband, Prince Albert, passed away, her majesty rarely condescend to make any public appearances."
"What do the curry expedition and the recent crimes have to do with each other?" Soma asked.
"The connection is the curry. It's a speciality at West's coffee house. If he obtains a royal warrant for his curry, his sales are sure to increase dramatically," Ciel explained. "My guess is he was getting Agni to target specific men and they were probably his rivals for the curry expedition. When he hung the men, he included notes that were insulting to the english, that was done to make it seem like the attacks were carried out by a bitter Indian. Likely, Mina was West's bait. She's probably the only reason Agni got involved." Ciel looked up to Sebastian, who handed him the note they had taken when they first started this investigation. "I'm guessing he did it all for you." Soma was taken aback for a moment at Ciel's words. "You worship Kali, a goddess who is depicted with her tongue sticking out. Agni worships you as his God, along with Kali. The connection seems obvious. He clearly signed those letters as a way of apologising to you."
"he may have still left, but everything he does is still for you, no one else," Sebastian added. "Agni lives only for you. He is a fine butler." As Soma read the note, sadness fell over his face.
"Agni..."
"My, my my," Lau said, clapping. "I do a happy ending. Looks like everything is wrapped up, no need to get more involved. I'm sure the yard can handle the rest." SOma rose from his chair as Lau's words.
"No! There is still Agni and Mina. What will happen to them?" Lau only laughed at the prince's question
"We know the criminal underworld isn't involved in this, which means it has nothing to do with us," Ciel said. Agni crushed the note in his hand.
"You're right," Agni said. 'Finally. Some sense-' "This is my problem." 'I am surrounded by idiots.' "I need to be strong and handle it on my own."
"Thats the right attitude. And it affords me the liberty to look after my own agenda," He said, stretching out his arms. "I was called to the city during winter dor this idiotic case. I think I deserve to be compensated for the inconvenience, dont you?" Ciel asked. Both Yuri and Sebastian smirked, understanding what their master was hinting at. "Thanks to west nefarious activities, the competition at the curry exception this year will be considerably slimmer than it normally would be, so perhaps the Phantomhive company should enter its own curry. We would only have to beat West. Then the royal warrant would fall into our hands." Soma gasped at the Lord's plan. "I was already considering expanding into the food industry anyway. Winning a royal warrant for our current would generate a buzz, it would be an excellent way to get started."
"But you only have a week before the contest," Lau said. "Can you find an adequate curry chief and gather equipment in time?"
"I don't think that will be necessary," Ciel said, looking at Yuri and Sebastian, who stood over his right shoulder. "Isn't that right, Sebastian? Yuri?" Sebastian smirked and Yuri shook her head slightly in disbelief.
"If I couldn't make a good curry for my master, then what kind of a butler would I be?" Sebastian said, hand on his heart. "I shall secure the royal warrant-"
"Impossible," Soma said. "There is no way you can win, they have Agni cooking for them. And his hand was blessed by the goddess Kali."
~o/Intermission\o~
"Yes, I am willing to admit that Agni is an incredible fighter, but this is a cooking competition. It's not combatting," Ciel said.
"That is what I am saying. None of you has even caught a glimpse Agni's true power yet," Soma said, causing him to gain the entire room's attention. "You don't know real curry. No."
"What is this 'real curry'?" Ciel asked.
"They key to curry is a mixture of spices, the possibilities are endless. Choosing the right one is a very difficult task."
In West's house, Agni laboured over the stove with thousands of spices sat in front of him. the other staff could smell the gorgeous aroma that wafted throughout the house.
"It is like trying to find... one truth in a vast universe!"
Agni's hand darted between spices, picking them up and grounding them together.
"But Agni can do it. He creates words out of nothingness."
The staff all rang to the kitchen as Agni fried the spices together.
"His power is on the same pain as the gods!"
He added the spices, fried or not, into his curry bowl, as the staff watched from the crack of the door.
"That is why he is known as; The Godly Right Hand Of Kali!" Soma sat back in his seat. "Never in my life have I ever tasted a bowl of curry that could begin to compare to his."
"How interesting! Agni's true power is creating the curry of Kali!" Lau said before he promptly burst into laughter.
"Well, what do you think?" Ciel asked his servants.
"Fascinating indeed, it sounds like a challenge."
"You highness, I don't mean to sound rude, but a blessed hand isn't everything. You've clearly never had Japanese curry," Yuri said, hand on her heart as she smirked. "Or, at the very least, you've never tasted a curry I've made."
Later on, Sebastian brought Soma back to the kitchen, where he'd lined up a seemingly never-ending supply of pots of different curries.
"And... you both made these by yourselves."
"Yes. You're the only one on the estate who's ever tasted Agni's curry before." As Sebastian was speaking, Yuri was dishing up the first few curries, ready for the prince to eat. She handed the first one to the prince, along with a fork. "Which one should we use to defeat your butler?" Soma took a step back, shocked.
"Yes... I will! If I can repay your kindness by eating curry, I will eat as much as you want me to!" Soma said.
"Thank you, I appreciate it," Sebastian said.
"I'll do it for Mina and Agni."
~o/0\o~
Back at West manor, Agni looked miserable as West spoke to him.
"Thanks to you, every last one of our rivals has withdrawn their entry. The only ones left are third rate brands I've never heard of before, and some company that makes children's toys," West said, throwing the papers he was holing across the desk and Agni picked them up. Agni gasped as he read aloud the name of the company.
"The Funtom Company... Dos that means...?"
"No need to worry, with that godly right hand of yours, we're sure to win the royal warrant," West said but Agni looked unsure. 'My prince...'
~o/0\o~
There was a knock on the door of Ciel's study. Yuri was standing beside him, just keeping him company with her presence. He looked up from his files to the door, which Sebastian promptly entered.
"Pardon me, sir," Sebastian said before he presented the lord with the chocolate cake. "For today's tea, we have 'Gateaux de Chocolat'"
"I'll need the proper dress for a royal audience," Ciel said.
"You insist she isn't coming but you dress up anyway. How amusing, the Queen's guard dog is a well-trained pup," Sebastian teased.
"Have you concocted a curry better than Agni's yet?" Ciel said, with a hint of annoyance in his voice.
"No. According to Prince Soma, something is still missing," Sebastian said, picturing the prince asleep with the mounts of empty plates around him.
"Than get back to the kitchen and stop wasting your time making cakes," Ciel said as Sebastian bent down to give the cake to Ciel. "You have more important things to do." Sebastian stood back up.
"Yes, I understand, my lord."
"Besides, I am not really in the mood for chocolate right now. Drop it into the curry, or something," Ciel said.
"Indeed, my young lord," Sebastian said.
~o/0\o~
In his kitchen, Agni worked on his curry at the dead of night.
"Before that day, I wasn't a religious man."
Agni thought back to the day he was almost executed for his crimes.
"I was born into the brahmans, the highest cast. People meant to serve the gods."
Agni watched the elder man as he was surrounded by females and was worshipped.
"But I saw the greed and snobbery on the men around me. And I couldn't bring myself to believe in our righteousness."
Agni sat with his back against the wall as he thought deeply.
"I committed many crimes until finally..."
Agni remembered the ropes going around his neck until he heard the swish of a sword and the rope and his hair were cut by Prince Soma.
"The many you were is dead now," Prince Soma announced. "You will be reborn with a new name and a new life."
"I finally found something divine! It was in him"
"now! you are Agni!"
Coming out of his memories, Agni clenched his fists.
"I vow to use this hand only for the god I found in him."
Back at the Phantomhive Manor, Soma looked up at the moon from his window
~o/0\o~
The night turned to day as Sebastian dressed Ciel in his royal appropriate attire.
"Does this outfit fit for a royal audience, my lord?" Sebastian asked.
"It's fine, now drop it," Ciel said. "Anyway, are you certain you can beat Agni's curry?"
"Of we can," Yuri said, entering the room.
"Indeed my lord, we will win," Sebastian said. "I swear it on the Phantomhive name."
~o/0\o~
The group has made it to the crystal palace for the curry competition.
"I shall win a royal warrant without fail," Sebastian said. The palace was filled with people as they all waited for the competition to begin. The entire Phantomhive household was there, along with Prince Soma, Lau and Rin Mau. "Now, excuse me while I have preparations to do." Sebastian began walking away, Yuri following him.
"You can do it!" Bard and Finny cheered for their butler. Out of the corner of his eyes, Soma saw someone who he thought was Mina. He gasped before following the woman.
Sebastian was about to step into the door before Yuri stopped him. She stood on her tippy toes and kissed his cheek softly. However, Sebastian turned his head and let his lips brush against hers. She smiled into the kiss as it escalated into a sweet kiss. They pull away and Yuri continued to look into his eyes with a soft smile.
"Good luck," she said softly. Sebastian only smiled.
"I won't need it," Yuri shook her head in disbelief but she was smiling.
"Fine then. Knock 'em dead." Sebastian smiled and pecked her lips softly.
"I will." She smiled before waving goodbye, rushing back to return before someones noticed her absences. Sebastian entered the lounge where the other chiefs were waiting. When he entered, Agni got to his feet.
"Why are you here?" Agni asked. Sebastian only smirked in response.
~o/0\o~
Agni chases after the woman, pushing through the crowd to get to her. He paused, looking around before he found her again. He called out her name and she slowly turned around.
"Was that... Soma?" He ran towards her ebfore engulfing her in a hug.
"Mina! I am so glad! I finally got you back!" Mina did not hug the prince back and instead stood still. He pulled away to look her in the eyes, a look of innocence on his face. "You don't have to worry now, you can come back to the palace." She continued to stare up.
"Highness?" She asked and she sighed, her expression turning sour. "How stupid are you?" Soma was taken aback by Min'a words. "Go back with you? Don't make me laugh." She slapped his hand away from her shoulder. Why would I ever want to go back there?" She turned away, crossing her arms. "I already went to so much trouble to escape. People born into royalty can lounge around, never doing a day of work in their lives, but because I was born into a lower class, I was forever doomed to be a servant. I don't want to spend my whole life trapped by the class system."
"You went with him willing? It was your decision?" Soma said, his voice frail and filled with her. Mina looked over her shoulder.
"Yes, thats right!" She said, her words laced with annoyance. "A lowly servant to a man's wife? Even a child knows which one is better!" Soma looked at her in shock, his entire viewpoint changing. "I spent my life taking care of you, you selfish brat! I'm done with it. I promised I would not tell you, but now here you are." Mina stepped closer to the prince. "You're old enough to know the truth." And like that, she stormed off. Soma watched her walk away, pain in his eyes and heart.
Agni and Sebastian were in the lounge as Agni explained why he had done everything he had.
"Mina and I came to an agreement. If I obeyed West, she would reveal nothing of her true feelings towards the prince. He can't know the truth, he's still too young for that," Agni explained.
"So thats what this is about?"
"Don't you see? This is for my prince, I cannot lose." Sebastian laughed.
"Funny you said that... neither can I." The two butlers stood at a crossroads and a fellow competitor stepped outside the room. He punched the wall, a scowl on his face.
"I'll never win with this will," he said. "Something is still missing. But what is it?" The sound of footsteps behind him became louder until a sweet voice spoke to him.
"You seem quite troubled," the voice said. The man sprung around. "perhaps using this would help you?" He was handed a small bag, which he took from their hands and opened, revealing a bag of spices. He sniffed it.
"What the..." He looked at the figure who had handed it to him. Angela smiled back at him, her large purple eyes filled with innocence. She only giggled in response.
~o/0\o~
The crowd gathered around the stage as the competition began. The host stood in front, the judges to his right, the crowds left, and the competitors stood to his left, the crowds right.
"Thank you all for waiting!" The host said, gaining the attention of everyone in the room. "Welcome to the curry festival and the best curry London can offer!" The crowd cheered as the six competitors, including Agni, Sebastian and four professional chefs, lined up as trumpets sounded. Lord Druitt, who'd managed to be a judge again, waved to the crowd. Yuri visibly shivered as Lau sighed.
"This guy again..." He said Yuri placed her hands on Ciel's shoulders, both to ground herself and comfort him.
'Just breath. He won't hurt you.' Sebastian's voice spoke to her. She took a deep breath. 'That's good. Focus on my voice and the earl's shoulders rising.' Yuri stopped visibly shaking as she broke through her panic. The four servants, Tanaka, Bard, Finny and Meyrin watched with enthusiasm. An enthusiasm that wasn't shared by Prince Soma. Who felt miserable. He turned, walking away from the competition, which was noticed by Agni.
"Prince Soma... You can't stand to look at my face anymore, can you?" Agni thought. He shook his head. "No... I have to focus on the competition."
"And now let the cooking begin!" However, the sound of instruments playing caused the crowd to all look around as they wondered where it was coming from.
"It sounds like..." Lau trailed off as a red carpet was rolled out onto the floor of the Palace. The crowd all turned behind them to see a small woman in all black stand with a tall man in all white begin to enter the palace. Ciel gasped at the duo.
"Her Majesty..."
Me? Posting? I know, its a miracle.
