Chapter 5: the Spider Queen
Elyanna (Diane) had managed to make friends with Elizabeth although inside she considered her cousin the dumbest and most annoying creature she had ever met, however, she was an expert in manipulation and managed to convince Lizzy to be friends. The reason was because he wanted to know the Phantomhive mansion, the home he had never known and the family he could never love, and for that he needed Lizzy, the fool who thought that his boring talks about dresses and fashion interested him even a little. Elyanna did not come alone with her, too, was the little June Broderick who had forged a mutual bond of brotherly love with her brother's fiancée, and her maids Gumiho and Pandora. While the carriage was approaching the manor. Elyanna had to fight with herself not to yell at Elizabeth to shut up and leave her alone.
"Tell me Elizabeth. How is Ciel?"
"He's very cute although a little serious but call me Lizzy"
"He is different from Damian"
"How is he?"
"He is sweet and dedicated, and now even more with June and Jared at home"
"My brother is the best, he gave me many dolls and books" said June
"aaH! Well Ciel is also very sweet"
"Really? Then they're not so different. Tell me Lizzy, have you and Ciel gone shopping together?"
"Well, no"
"Damien and I do it all the time"
The truth was that Elyana wanted to upset her brother and was going to use Lizzy as a tool for that, knowing in turn that she would drag Ciel all over London. Once the carriage had arrived, Ciel and Sebastian were there, when Elyanna under the carriage with that beautiful lavender dress, the heart of Ciel stayed while the heart of Sebastian gave a jump when seeing a Pandora, he was still in love with her.
"Ciel, Ciel, Ciel. Look, Lady Popplewell and me have become friends and invite her to meet the Phantomhive manor."
"It doesn't bother you, right?" June asked
"D-does not bother me" Ciel blushed said
"That relieves me" Elyanna said
"Welcome to the Phantonhive manor" Sebastian said
When Elyanna entered the Phantomhive mansion and saw her inside, she immediately imagined parties and family gatherings in which she was not there to live with her adoptive family, as if she cared, she didn't really love Ciel or her dead parents, but she felt a strange feeling that her family's house was calling her as when she was dreaming of her parents and suddenly she was face to face with the portraits of her real parents, it was like going back to dreaming about them until she noticed the portrait of a woman of black hair and green eyes.
"Who is she?"
"My aunt, Adelaide Phantomhive. She died in strange circumstances" Ciel said
"Oh! What a pity"
Lizzy dragged Ciel to plan a welcome party pink for Elyanna, she did not care about the nonsense so in the company of June with Gumiho and Pandora she toured the Phantomhive manor, the home of her family. First they went through the area near the kitchen where they heard loud explosions.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Pandora and Gumiho protected Elyanna and June from the explosion, a strong smell of burned and smoke was felt in the air and the whole kitchen was filled with black smoke and when it dissipated it was possible to appreciate the figures of the three servants of the mansion Phantomhive: Bard, Mey-Rin and Finny. They are seemed to come out of a fire.
"It seems like it was too much gunpowder" Bard said
"Gunpowder?! Now everything is ash!" Mey-Rin said
"Also it burned the dessert, but who are they?" Finny commented
Bard and Mey-Rin looked and saw Elyanna, June and their maids, at the moment when Bard saw Pandora, she was surprised by the beauty of the angel and by her orange eyes like an amber; Sebastian appeared in this, that he was not at all surprised by what had just happened, as if he was used to those events.
"Are you okay, ladies?" Sebastian asked
"We are fine, Mr. butler" June said
"They tried to kill our ladies, I'll kill them for that" Gumiho said
"Eh? k-kill? ... You do not think you're very drastic!" altered Mey Rin said
"Quiet, Gumiho. They certainly did not want to harm us" then Elyanna looked at the servants "I'm sure they did not want to hurt us"
"That's true…. You look familiar to me"
"I should have a very common face" Elyanna said
"It's not like that! ... You are very pretty" Finny blushing said
"Haha! Thank you very much for the compliment" Elyanna answered
Pandora entered the kitchen and saw that much was burnt food but it did not take long to prepare delicious dishes and to fix all the disaster that Bard had caused with his explosions of gunpowder.
Next time, do not use gunpowder, make the food charred - said Pandora sweetly
-But the kitchen is an art!
-No of war, try it and your food will be excellent - Pandora answered with a smile
Bard had fallen in love with Pandora.
On the other hand the ladies were escorted by Sebastian out of the kitchen, Pandora was uncomfortable being so close to his former lover but Gumiho was with her and the ladies so she would not be so alone with Sebastian, this on his part june told him Sebastian, who wanted to get to know the manor, so Sebastian gave them a tour of the mansion, first passing through the library where Soma made paper airplanes with the books of the valuable Phantomhive family pride collection.
Hello Sebastian, how good you are here, I was getting bored - Soma said
- Prince Soma, we still have not finished the lessons - said Agni
-But I'm already bored and ... how cute ... ..
Soma had noticed Gumiho and liked her a lot, in the prince's mind she was the reincarnation of the Goddess Laksmi, the Hindu goddess of beauty. Soma approached Gumiho who did not flinch at anything.
"I-I'm Soma Asman Kadar, 26th Prince of Bengal
"It is a pleasure Prince Soma, my name is Gumiho, personal maid of Lady June Broderick" the homunculus was presented
"I like you! You want to be my assistant! ... or I-if you want m-my W-wife ..."
"Hmp?"
"Soma -sama! At last you found a woman worthy to be his wife! Your happiness is mine! May the Goddess Kali protect and bless you!"
"Thank you very much Agni!
They both cried and embraced before a stunned Elyanna who did not understand how someone was asking a homunculus to marry with him.
What?
-What has happened? - Elyanna asked
- Apparently Gumiho has an admirer - said Pandora
-Who are they? - Agni asked
"They`re Miss Elizabeth's guests so don't bother them"
It did not take long until tea time. The tea was Chinese jasmine with muffins and sandwichs. While they were having tea, Ciel did not take Elyanna's eyes, so beautiful and at the same time so familiar, from somewhere where he had seen her before and to be honest, he felt attached to her and she was so beautiful.
"I understand that he has a good lineage, which descends from a king named Alfred" Lao said
"Alfred the Great" Elyanna confirms
"Haa, it's amazing, he was the first king of England"
"It is a lineage that the Popplewells pride themselves"
While the nobles drank tea. Grell Sutcliff, Ronarld Konx and Allison Flynn were close; the three Grim Reapers were not near to collect souls, but for a new madness that had occurred to Grell: the Grim Reaper camp. It turned out that Ronarld was in love with Allison and asked Grell for advice to leave Freindzone. The presence of the three Grim Reapers alerted Sebastian and Pandora that they apologized to their masters and went to see what these Grim Reapers were planning. While Grell started his Grim Reaper camp.
"Are you sure this will work? "Asked Ronald
"Trust me, I'm the goddess of love" answered Grell
"I hope this works, I think she like Jordan Dormer"
"Jordan is sexy but you are cute"
"Hey! What are you pulling?" Allison interrupted
"N-nothing, only things about men" Ronald said
"I do not know why we're all here 3 alone" Allison said
"I told you it's an experimental camp" Grell said
"I also want to know that," said a familiar voice
In front of the 3 Grim Reapers were Sebastian and Pandora; when Grell saw the demon next to the angel he became so jealous that he attacked them with his scythe but both Sebastian and Pandora dodged his attacks.
"What do you want?" Sebastian asked
"Nothing you mind demon" Allison said
"Can you tell me?" Pandora asked
"HORRIBLE WOMAN! What do you think you do with my Sebas-Chan ?!" Grell exclaimed
"Not much but if you want to stay with him" Pandora replied
"Pandora, don't be cruel to me"
"Sebas-Chan! We were supposed to have a crimson passion!" Grell exclaimed
"I would call it an unfortunate coincidence"
Grell fought like a lion to get rid of Ronald and Allison, and even more so when Pandora and Sebastian had already left. After that event, Grell returned with his experimental Grim Reapers camp.

Damian listened completely to the song that spoke of the death of his aunt Audrey and his face darkened, he was upset and offended by the spectacle of bad taste over the tragic death of his aunt.
"Sisyphus"
"My Lord "
"Destroy that horrible puppet"
"Yes, my master"
After the horrible song and the spectacle of bad taste everybody applauded while Sisyphus destroyed the puppet, this angered Mr. Gorey and demanded to speak with Demian so Sisyphus took Mr. Gorey to talk to Demian.
"Mr. Gorey worked a lot on that puppet"
"Who you believe to make fun of my family?!"
" Mr. Gorey thinks Mr. Gorey"
"As you know all that about my aunt?"
"Mr. Gorey knows important things"
"Then leave them to the police!" Chluas said
"Help, help, police. They did not come" Mr. Gorey said
"Don't mock, you clown" Diederich said
"Mr. Gorey is leaving and that will not be the only Audrey can create" Mr. Gorey with a wicked smile said
Mr. Gorey left to continue with his show ignoring the threats of Diederich while Demian was retiring that he did not tolerate Mr. Gorey and his grotesque Show while Chluas wanted to know how much wiser he knew about the death of his beloved Audrey

While at the Phantomhive mansion, Elizabeth organized a masked ball for Elyanna, her cousin, but she did not know, the blonde was so excited about the party that she asked Ciel to dance with her new friend.
"This does not bother you?" blushed Ciel asked
"At least" Elyanna answered
"This was so sudden and Lizzy is ..."
"Jovial (annoying)"
" That was going to say"
After the dance, an elegant 30-year-old man approached Pandora, who wore the favorite dress of Demian Broderick's mother at June's request. That man, James P. March, who, along with his homunculus lovers, was looking for victims for his hotel of horrors.
"Good afternoon, Miss, I would give you the pleasure of this piece" James said
"I don't think it's relevant" Pandora said.
"Please, sweet Lady"
James P. March took Pandora by the hand to drag her to the dance floor, however, Sebastian stopped him. Calling the attention of Ciel.
"What are you doing, Sebastian?"
"This man was told no" Sebastian said.
"I can care of myself" Pandora coldly said
"I apologize and as a sign of good faith I will invite you to a party at my hotel, the Dogma hotel. Do not know if you know him?"
"Yes, they say it's very elegant" Elyanna said
"Haa! I would love to see it!" Lizzy said
Elyanna noticed that someone was looking out the window so she went out next to Pandora to the garden where there was a Sihnigami with reddish brown hair. Elyanna immediately recognized that Grim Reapers, it was Allison.
"Hello Susan"
"Hello ... .Allison, call me Elyanna now that's my name"
"I see that I improve your life, you're lucky"
"Because you are now a Grim Reapers?"
"It's ... a long story but I can protect you"
Elyanna took a sleeve off her dress to show her the contract she had with Pandora, then pointed to the angel next to her.
"I have her" Elyanna said
"Tell me she's not a demon" Allison said
"She's not"
"You must not fear me, I'm an angel" Pandora said
Allison hugged Elyanna and promised he would protect her too, both cried while Sebastian saw everything.
