Chapter 1: The news
"It would appear that there is a new earl in town, Young Master. He goes by the name Connor Vest." The tall butler in black announced, pouring his master a cup of Earl Grey tea. The blunette, also known as Ciel Phantomhive, frowned. "He sounds American." The young earl said. This made the butler, also known as Sebastian Michaelis, smile. "It would seem as though he is, my lord." Said the butler. Ciel stood, frustrated as to why he was just hearing about this American earl. "What does he do?" he asked, glancing over at Sebastian. The butler in black looked up at the ceiling. "That is an unknown topic, Young Master." He said, sighing slightly. Ciel sighed as well, walking around to the front of his desk. "I take it he'll be hard to figure out." The blunette sighed. "We'll find a way, young lord." Sebastian said with a smirk. "If I couldn't help my master figure out a simple American, what kind of butler would I be?" Ciel sighed again, shaking his head. He could never really figure out why Sebastian said that all the time, though he tried not to question it too much. The blunette lifted his head, hearing quite a ruckus going on outside of his door. "What on earth…?" he began, only to be interrupted by the three imbeci—workers, that took refuge in the Phantomhive manor, bursting into his study. "MISTER SEBASTIAAAN!" Two of them screamed in unison, whilst one stayed silent, looking somewhat frightened. Sebastian sighed. "What is it now?" he asked the three. The housemaid, also known as Mey-Rin, was the first to speak. "W-Well, I was fixing the plates, a-and everything was all right, but then there was a cat in the hallway that caught me off guard!" she exclaimed. Ciel turned to Sebastian. "A cat?" he began. "In the hallway?" "I assure you it had no association with me whatsoever, Young Master." The butler said, slightly nervous. "It wouldn't have anything to do with Sebastian." Baldroy, the chef, chimed in. "The cat's pink." Ciel sighed. A pink cat? Just how mad were these lot? "A-And it came into the garden, so I chased it around and tried to catch it, but I just ended up messing everything up! Please don't be mad, Young Master!" The gardener, Finnian, pleaded. Ciel rubbed his temples. "I'm far from mad," he began. "Just...Utterly frustrated as to why someone would let a cat loose in my manor!" Sebastian put his thumb and index finger under his chin, looking up at the ceiling. "Maybe..." he began, trailing off and getting lost in his thoughts. "Maybe what?" the group around him seemed to say in unison. The demon butler looked at his master, a slight frown appearing on his face. "It possibly could've been that wretched Trancy messing with you." he sighed. Ciel looked up at the ceiling, frowning as well. "Ugh!" He exclaimed, bringing his head down onto his desk. "I thought I was done with that spider for a while." "I thought so as well, Young Master." Sebastian said, grabbing Ciel's coat from a closet. "Shall we take a little trek to the Trancy manor?"
Author's Note: Hey there. How you doin'?
So, I figured that Ciel and Alois needed to make an appearence soon, so I thought "Hey, why not these next few chapters? That'd be fun!" My mind works in mysterious ways. Dealz wiff it. *puts on sunglasses*
Anyhow, next chapter, it's all about the Trancy, baby. Sooo...See y'all next chapter!
