Examinations are still ongoing this week but a quick publish will do! *sigh* OTL

What happened on the last chapter...
"Sebastian, I order you to win this challenge no matter what is the cost!" I shouted at him as he gave out a devilish smile.

"Yes, My Lord."

And so it begins...

Your POV
Why was I involved in this situation...? I never bothered to be along in this problem but now I am being fought over by four mongrels that I do not wish to be with! Ahem, [FR/N] may say that I am exceptionally lucky to be fought by three good-looking men and a young bratty Earl but I wish to live in peace and not in this state! I have a chance to escape but I am afraid that the butler might hunt me down again and to see the movements of the Queen's butlers, they are all skilled! Almost they are non-humans! Am I surrounded by a bunch of monsters?!

Ciel's POV
That old lady might as well think too deep. She may age more than 10 years...! Pfffttt- Ahem, I must concentrate on the challenge! In this state, seeing Sebastian have a hard sweaty-time is quite amusing...! I want to see him make a mistake for once! He could solve any problem with a snap but I need his dirty tricks to win right now!

I glanced over at the Double Charles and Grey was looking at me! He whispered something to Phipps and both nodded. I sweat-dropped and glanced over at Sebastian who was harvesting rapidly. But as I looked over at the two again, something was wrong... Phipps was missing...! I felt a strong wind cross by me. It was Phipps who was going to stab Sebastian!

"Sebastian! Behind your back!"

Sebastian looked over at _ and was able to dodge Phipps! He jumped on air if he was flying as Phipps just charged through our plantations making our harvest quicker. Sebastian quickly gathered the crops that were about to fall to the ground and landed professionally on the ground.

"Truly, I thank you, Master Phipps. You made our harvesting quite quicker." He said with a smile plastered on his face. Phipps was emotionless as he said that to him but we heard a 'Tch' from Grey. Heh. Sebastian also looked over at _ with a smile.

"My lady _, I am truly grateful for your act of concern to warn me." He bowed and continued to work. I glanced at that old lady and saw her sighing, a bit worried and went away. Are they even flirting with each other right now?! This is taking quite the time on my hands! Even though I should be at home and read all the invitations, I am here with four bloody idiots! This is getting annoying...!

Just then, Grey attacked Sebastian next. He was on air as he tried to slash Sebastian with his double swords. He was able to dodge Grey and caught the crops.

"Isn't fun to spice the play a little bit?" Grey charged to Sebastian and attacked him as Sebastian merely dodged.

"Oh indeed. It is quite the fun to harvest and fight at the same time." Sebastian blocked Grey with a crop. I simply cannot believe what is happening...! But I must quickly gather all the harvested ones! I saw those two still fighting while Phipps used his speed to get the crops! This is intensely troublesome! But it seems that Sebastian and I are winning!

"Stop fighting this instant!" We heard as we saw _ coming with a horse?! How and where on earth did she get a horse on these parts?!

"Where on earth did you get that horse and let it prance around the plantations?!" I am in a confused state here... Maybe the four of us were and not her... Has she lost her mind?

"Have some shame if you will, you imbecile nobles!" Did she call us imbecile?! This rude-

"Health comes first! Why would fighting take part of this so-called challenge?! That made me worry that I even got this horse from the brat's carriage just to stop all of you!" She even has the mouth to call me brat in this moment?!

"Like her personality, Earl. You do meet likable 'friends'~" Grey chuckled as the three of them draw their weapons.

"Still, she is mine." I rolled down my sleeves and trousers. Sebastian took my coat from this rude old lady and helped me wore it.

"Well since she stopped our little play and we were able to harvest at them amount, I won't accept a draw! Let's have this little lady choose who she will pick!"

Your POV
"What?! Me?! How important I am to you all?!" They just looked at me awkwardly... Shameless nobles and butler...! They were fighting over me and just gave me that reaction! These people are so crude!

"Enough with your whining and choose!" The Earl restlessly said as he crossed his arms. Before I could open my mouth, I was taken away by Grey and Phipps.

"I won't take my loss, brat!" And that we left them.

"Sebastian get them! Don't let them escape with her!" Phantomhive shout echoed.

"Let's spice things up! Phipps, you take her away!" Grey threw me to Phipps as I just screamed in fear! I was thrown on air! I could die! Grey got his double sword and stopped his feet to await the butler. Phipps continued on to escape with me in his arms.

"Why are you even taking me with you?!" Phipps looked at me and paid attention to the path.

"Away from them." He cut off the conversation and continued off the escape. Seriously, what am I to them? How valuable am I that they would fight to death for me?

We suddenly heard a loud explosion from afar. I would most likely go there and get some scoop but in my situation, how could I possibly go there?! All of a sudden, a frightening shadow-like human jumped in front of us. Phipps was able to stop his tracks but that made the both of us trip and land painfully.

The crude butler appeared.

"The young Master is getting impatient with your games, Master Phipps. I need you to hand over Lady _. Tea is almost time." The butler just closed his pocket watch and glared at Phipps, who was backing off in defence.

"What has happened to Grey...?" He asked restlessly for his partner.

"I would say, I made him 'rest'' his state. Hurry now, we are to be late for tea." He answered with a smirk. Phipps draw out his sword and stood in defence in front of me.

"Can't you two stop fighting?! Swords are not necessary here! There must be another way to solve this!" I tried standing up but my stance was just crooked as the crooked man.

"We shall settle this once and for all so please relax and watch us, Lady _." The butler said with a smile. This is becoming a nuisance...! I was confused, tired and worried for them!

"You may have defeated Grey but not in my-"

"Charles Phipps!"

We look to the voice and Phantomhive was there, chin up.

"You are now finished! Just give up already!" Phantomhive shouted in anger. His throat was dry already from shouting and ordering.

"Never shall I without my companion." Phipps changed his stance from defence to attack. The three were ready to tire out themselves.

I must settle things down...! I stood up and stop the three from any further fight.

"To finish this off, I chose Earl Ciel Phantomhive and his butler, Sebastian! I want to come with them!" I hope this would stop the fight...

Phantomhive had a gap in his mouth as to the butler and Phipps just nodded in respect of my decision. Grey came out, injured. He must've seen Phipps keep his sword. Grey only gritted his teeth and turned his back on us.

"The girl chose them, Grey. Let just go back and accept it." Phipps patted Grey's shoulder. Grey sighed and looked at that annoying brat.

"Fair enough already. I'm not saying I accept my loss but I only settled down to cool my head and Phipps here. Hmph, we're giving the girl to you, brat. But we'll never be easy on you once we meet again!" He eyed Phantomhive with his white eyes.

"Oh worry not, Master Grey and Phipps. We'll give you a warm Phantomhive welcoming!" Sebastian walked to his master, smiling.

"But that'll make the manor more interesting!" He happily said.

"What?! What the-"

"Glad you made that decision, Grey." The Earl just smirked and grabbed my hand, whisking me away.

"In exchange if I come to your manor, treat me with lots of your butler's cooking!" Grey just waved goodbye at us as we left. Earl looked at him one more time and just smirked. He continued to pull my hand away with the butler following us.

By the time we're at the carriage, we continued to the brat's manor. I have quite several questions to ask him. The atmosphere around us is so suffocating. I wouldn't imagine what would become of the air at the manor if he is around me...

"Tell me, why would you even tire yourself just to get me?" I asked without averting my eyes off from the window pane. He may or may not answer me so I wouldn't bother until he tells it.

"Curious, are you?" He didn't avert his eyes from the window pane. I sighed and just looked at the opposite direction.

"Very curious."

"I have told you several times, we shall settle things at the manor!" The Earl shouted, tired from today. I was a bit shock from his temper and heard the butler only chuckled.

"The young master has been full of today's event from running around. He, too, has limitations. Please understand, Milady." He gave off a cool aura. I nodded and the carriage became quiet along the way.

I do hope that I will not regret my decision...
