The Third Turn
His Master, Cu n n i n g
Sebastian hummed a playful tune as he walked briskly towards the Phantomhive Mansion's living room, where a sullen Elizabeth was being comforted by Maylene and Finny to no avail. She was still crying rivers of tears and holding close a framed photo of Ciel back when he was merely ten years old like a doll.
"Lady Elizabeth. Pardon my intrusion, but the Young Master has a certain request for you...." Sebastian piped up, clearing his throat. Maylene and Finny were all ears and staring lovingly at Sebastian, but for Elizabeth, it took quite a while before she looked up from Ciel's old photo and asked:
"W-What could it be...Sebastian...?"
Sebastian smirked and continued, "The Young Master would like you to stay in our abode for the night. There is quite a heavy blizzard building up outside and he fears that some terrible incident may befall you if you even dared to try and head home for tonight."
Elizabeth recovered from her slump quite quickly after hearing about Ciel's so-called "concern" for her welfare and immediately jumped up and asked in reply, "Ahh! Sebastian~ is that ~ the truth~? Kyaaaa! C-Ciel's a-actually....thinking about me like that~ Arigatouuuu~" She then went and spun Finny around like what she had done to Ciel earlier.
Sebastian chuckled lightly at Elizabeth's happy-go-lucky attitude, somehow he wished that his Master would be able to be the same as well. For a demon like him, thinking of someone else's welfare was quite unnatural. But why was he even thinking this way? He tried to blot the thoughts out of his mind as he cleared his throat, checked the time on his handy pocket watch, and piped up, "Lady Elizabeth, it is way past eight in the evening. I suppose I should escort you to the bathroom, where Maylene would give you a bath before your slumber...."
"Aww..okay~" Elizabeth replied joyfully, running up the steps towards Ciel's bedroom.
Sebastian immediately held back Lizzie by holding on to the hem of her skirt. "Pardon me, Elizabeth-sama. But the Master would not like to be disturbed..."
Maylene went over to Lizzie and whispered inside her ear, "What Sebastian....actually wants to pinpoint....is that Master Ciel is....at a troublesome age. I....I wouldn't like to s-see you, a y-young lady....b-being involved in s-something.....troublesome....neither would Sebastian....right?" Looking up to Sebastian, Maylene smiles mischievously, obviously thinking that she had done something worthwhile to help Sebby for once....
Elizabeth didn't really get what Maylene meant. So she just nodded and proceeded to the bathroom without complaint.
Sebastian then took the chance to whisper inside Maylene's ear:
"You did a wonderful job, Maylene."
Maylene was surprised to see Sebastian hold a finger over his mouth and give her a swift wink.

"Maylene....do you happen to know?" Elizabeth asked, as Maylene scrubbed her back gently.
"H-Happen to know what, Elizabeth-sama?" Maylene replied curiously.
"Y-You know....C-Ciel's....t-taste....no, I mean, his preferences....f-for an ideal woman....don't you?"
Maylene looked away from Elizabeth for a while to try and cover up her steadily bleeding nose.
"C-Ciel-sama's....ideal woman? N-No....I...d-don't have the slightest inkling....he usually doesn't t-talk to anyone except...Sebastian...." Maylene stammered in reply, as she went on to rinse Elizabeth's back.
"Ahh...you mean you don't even...really know why Sebastian is the only one Ciel opens up to...?"
"N-Not a clue....wh-why do you ask, Lady Elizabeth...?"
"N-never mind, then....Maylene." Elizabeth sighs, disappointed.
