What happened on the last chapter...
"Tanaka, tell me why are they smiling like idiots?" I heard Tanaka chuckle as he just replied,

"Lady _, perhaps?"

What on earth did she do to them?!

And so it begins...

Ciel's POV
I sipped on the tea that Sebastian had prepared for well, me and that old lady. I blankly stared at her, eating her meal. Sebastian made us eat together at the table once again but thank the heavens that it was long enough for me to see her face! She seems to notice me but ignores it and continues on with her appetite. She was about to eat a piece of greenery until she was bothered by my glares.

"What? Do you already like me that you kept on looking at me?" I carelessly spill my tea at her statement. I heard Sebastian contained in his laugh as to not insult the both of us..

"Wh-what?! What on earth are you sa-saying?! Are you mad?!" I slammed my hands on the table making the silverware rattle but I felt a heartbeat.. She simply wiped clean her lips and looked at me mockingly.

"Oh? What kind of reaction is that? Where did that calm and composed Earl went off to?" She snickered at me. I cleared my throat and sat down again. Something was not right with what I felt earlier.. But I will not easily lose to this muttonhead!

"Do you even wish for me to fall for a buffoon like you? Rest assured, no one shall; if ever so, I pay my respects for that." The old lady crossed her arms and leaned her back against the chair.

"Well, enough with the dilly-dally. I have much more important duties than having an argument." I was about throw her a fist but she was finally ready to listen!

"And I'd rather marry this tea than seeing your face in EVERY morning meal," I snickered as she let out a growl.

"Cut the chase, Earl." I chuckled and wiped my face with the napkin beside me.

"What on earth did you do to my servants?" Her eyes widen in surprise and turned her [E/C] eyes away from mine.

"I did nothing. Aren't they simply like that as usual? What difference have they even made?" She began to fork a piece of greenery.

"They were even happier than ever. I thought you casted your dirty spell on them." She huffed and carried on with her meal.

"You dare accuse me that I did not do anything wrong?" I leaned close to the table.

"You are the one who was left here." She was silent for moment then stood up making me jolt. She glanced at me and Sebastian.

"I guess I work with magic." She waved her hands and winked then left. I felt another heart beat plus with my face heating up.

"Young Master, something to matter, perhaps?" He cleaned that buffoon's plate. I ordered him to also clean my plate as I was not hungry anymore. I proceeded myself to the study.

I was feeling strange whenever I see that nincompoop... But rather noticing this, I must continue on with my work.

I read through the papers of nothingness. Not until Sebastian came in the study carrying today's newspaper.

"I have brought it especially from London Times." Why on earth did he bring such newspaper from where that old lady works? Surely, is he mocking me? I sighed and swiped it away from his demonic hands. My eyes widen seeing the headlines of today.

"Five children were killed..? The madman killer who was on the loose strikes and kills 3 street children and 2 noble children..?" This case was sent in by letter by the Queen which I rejected it... I turned the page in which it shown all the missing children.

"This man...! I thought the police could handle this easy case but I would not think that they have failed to accomplish to capture the killer. Especially that Abberline and Randall is there presently."

"Young Master, don't you think it's the matter of time to solve the case?" I glanced at Sebastian; not noticing that my hands were crumpling the paper.

"We shall. There is no time to lose. Before it hits dusk, the perpetuator must be captured already." I was about to stand until the doors went opening right before my eyes.

"No!" The buffoon entered the room.

"Lady _, what is the matter?"

"It's dangerous to face this man! Especially at night!" The muttonhead made her way to me and grabbed me by the shoulders.

"I do not know why you, the Earl, would go off and investigate that madman!" I swatted her filthy hands away from me and dust off any dirt left behind.

"What are you saying? You should know that I have cracked several cases like this! You are a reporter yourself and you should know the better of me!" She backed and scoffed. But she slammed the desk with her hands that many of the documents flew.

"Never did I say I warned you about that guy! I swore on my life that you are to be proven wrong that is easy to face a psychopath kidnapping and killing children!" She had anger in her eyes that was furiously flaming. She backed off and marched her way to the door. She glanced at Sebastian and I but huffed and proceeded to leave.

"What shall we ever do, Young Master?" Sebastian looked at me. I was stunned by that buffoon's actions a while ago but I shook it off and ordered Sebastian to prepare the reports. There isn't any day that is not busy with killing..

We left the manor once again to go to London and investigate. But surely, muttonhead is stranger today.

Your POV
I watched the carriage leave with the little rascal and his butler inside from the bedroom. I sighed and worried about the finishing touches as they would arrive later.

Tanaka entered the room with a worried look. "Lady _? Is there something to matter?" I glanced at him with worrisome and care.

"I'll... I'll crack that case."
