A/N: Hello sorry it's taking me so long to update stories, it takes me forever to type on my computer. I write faster on pencil/pen and paper than I do on keyboard, it has nothing to do with school. Typing on a keyboard is slow for me so it gets boring the longer I type so I can't write and update as much as I want to. I know those are no excuses so enjoy this story if you can since I'm blabbering on.

Chapter two: Ciel and Alois's Letter
Third Person POV
"Young master it's time to wake up" a tall man with blood red eyes dressed in a butlers suit said flicking his wrist to open the curtains to brighten up the dark room. The opened curtains shined light onto the silver serving tray causing it to glitter as well as shinning its light in a pair of dull blue eyes. "How was your sleep young master?" the butler asked the young blue eyed noble as he dressed the boy and tied on the black eyepatch to cover the fuchsia colored contract.
"What have you prepared today Sebastian?" the ash-black haired boy asked the man now known as Sebastian when he was dressed in his usual ensemble. "Today there is a palate of varying scones, biscuits and tarts accompanied by Earl grey tea" Sebastian answered his young lord as he stood up, bowed, and then started pouring the tea that was mentioned. "What is my schedule for today?" the young earl said before he took a small bite of a blueberry scone as his butler explained what he has to do that day.
"Today you have your violin lessons at noon, a letter from the queen and a crime to investigate that occurred in the city late last night" Sebastian answered as he finished pouring the tea. "What does the letter entail?" the young earl asked his butler before he lightly and slowly sipped his tea as to not burn himself. "The letter states that you are to work alongside the Spider/Alois, the Siren and the Incubus on cases for a little while" Sebastian answered with a small smile in response to the shocked expression his young lord had on.
"Very well, who are the Siren and Incubus characters? I've never heard them mentioned before" the young earl asked as he finished his breakfast and the shock erased. "That is one question I am unable to answer for you, would you like me to find out for you?" the butler said bowing in apology and question. "Yes Sebastian, find me all that you can" the young earl said before a voice sounded throughout the room saying "yes my young lord" before the owner of the voice left the room to find the information his master ordered him to gather.
Other side of the forest about same time
"Your highness it is time to wake up" a man dressed as a butler with golden eyes announced as he walked into a large room accompanied by a girl with long silver hair dressed in a maids outfit. "Very well!" a short blonde haired boy answered slinging his legs over the side of his large bed as his golden-eyed butler came over to dress him. As soon as his butler buttoned up his white button shirt he undid the top three buttons to have him do it again.
"Claude? Why don't you ever act differently when I do that?" the young blonde asked quirking his brow at his butler as he buttoned up his shirt again. "Well your highness how do you want me to react?" the butler named Claude asked as he put on the blondes shoes on so they can go on with their day. "I don't know, but your actions are boring and bland with their repeats" the blonde complained crinkling his nose as he hopped off his bed.
"Claude! Where are the strawberry scones? I don't see them anywhere!" the blonde said as he jumped from seat to seat along the table in search of target of his complaints: strawberry scones. "My deepest apologies your highness, I'll go see what has happened to them and fix it right away" the golden-eyed butler said bowing before he exited the dining hall to cease Alois's complaints. "Triplets! What happened to Alois's breakfast?" Claude asked annoyed although his facial expression showed nothing.
In the kitchen the triplet servants were surrounding Hannah, the long silver haired maid, talking about a letter from the queen addressed to their boss Alois. "What is this about a letter for Alois?" Claude asked as he fully entered the kitchen and walked up to the four other demonic servants. "Apparently the queen sent Alois a letter and the triplets received it while they were making the strawberry scones that are sitting over there on top the stove" Hannah answered as the triplets let her leave the middle of the circle they had her in.
"Where is the letter?" Claude asked as he grabbed the tongs and a serving plate and started using the tongs to place the scones on the plate he grabbed. "Right here" Hannah replied as she held out gold embroidered parchment paper for him to take. Claude took the letter and placed it on the scones for Alois to see.
When Claude placed the tray in front of Alois his highness was confused until he read the awaiting letter. "Yay!" the blonde exclaimed doing his usual oh lay dance before speaking again in a happy tone "I get to see my precious Ciel! Although, Claude…" Alois said in confusion as he looked at his butler. "Find out what you can on the queen's Siren and Incubus" Alois ordered Claude and he did just that as Alois ate his scones and sipped his tea.
Few hours later- still Trancy Estate
"Claude did you find out who they are yet? We have to leave for the Phantomhive manor very soon" a squeaky child-like voice complaint echoed throughout the estate. "I apologize your highness but I couldn't find a single fact concerning the Siren and Incubus" Claude answered appearing in the doorway of Alois's office. "Awe boo, oh well I bet Ciel or Sebastian found out who they are by now" Alois said going from pouting sad to shiny happy.
"I do hope you're correct your highness, though I shall not doubt your words for I am a Trancy butler" Claude said bowing the entire time. "Claude, please set up a carriage for our trip to see my dear Ciel" Alois ordered his butler happily, Claude complied with the order without hesitation.
Phantomhive Manor
It has been an hour since Ciel sent Sebastian to find information concerning his unknown partners and he still has yet to return with such. He was about to order Sebastian back with their contract before he walked in slower than normal which worried the earl slightly. "Well what did you find out about them?" Ciel asked and he was right to have worried because Sebastian apologized for not being able to find any information concerning the two unknowns.
Ciel was indeed worried for he did not know anything about his new co-workers, with the exception of Alois. "Well Alois must know something if we don't, he has different connections and more servants to look for information than I do" the young Phantomhive replied but anyone in the room could tell that he was unsure of himself. "Young master! Young master! There's a carriage riding up the driveway yes!" an accented voice said slamming the doors open but stopped shocked at her own actions.
"I'm sorry master Ciel, I didn't mean to be rude and interrupt your conversation yes!" the red-violet haired maid hastily apologized for her abrupt actions. "It's fine Mey-Rin just be sure to be more careful next time and I may forgive you for you hasty actions" Ciel said getting up to greet his guest who was most likely Alois. "Come on Sebastian, we must greet our guests" Ciel said and Sebastian answered with a bow 'of course right away young master' before opening the door for the young lord Phantomhive.
As they walked through the hallways and down the stairs they heard a knock on the big door "guess they've arrived young master" Sebastian said as he opened the door to reveal a short gleaming blonde and a tall stoic black hair. "Ciel! It's so good to see you again!" the blonde said hugging the black haired lord who on the outside seemed uncomfortable, but on the inside missed the blondes embrace and knew that the blonde knew that to be true. "Now back to business" Ciel said pushing the blonde away lightly causing the blonde to pout "did you find anything about the Siren or Incubus?" Ciel continued trying to ignore the Blondes expression.
"No we were hoping you did" the blonde answered pouting even more after Ciel said what he did. "Guess we have to wait to ask them questions" Sebastian cut in looking at Claude the entire time, though his gaze wasn't cold nor calculating but caring. As soon as Sebastian ended his sentence all of them heard neighing from three different horses coming from behind them, they all turned around or at least Alois and Claude did.
Ciel and Sebastian walked out of the manor when they heard the noise, when they walked out they saw three horses, there was something strange about the horses to them though. The horses weren't pulling a carriage, they were being ridden by three people, one on each horse. As the horses got closer they didn't recognize the people the horses were carrying and it set the demonic butlers on edge.
A/N: Hello I hope you like this chapter, I think you can guess who're on the horses if not it's a cliffhanger possibly. If it is sorry bout that, the next chapter will start with the introduction of the riders to Ciel, Alois, Sebastian and Claude, though I don't know how that will go so I probably won't update for awhile after I post this. But I hope you keep reading this anyway, until next time everyone.
