It was the next morning and Claude came in, as usual, to wake them up. "Good morning, your highness. And to you too, Secret." he said with a nasty tone. Secret came out from underneath the covers and she beamed a death-stare right into his eyes. "Now, Secret, if you wouldn't mind leaving the room so I may dress the young master in peace?"
"Actually," Alois said, "I would like Secret to dress me today."
"Master, pardon my objection on the matter, but the only thing that woman is good at is taking your clothes off. And just because you can take something apart does not mean you can put it back together again."
"I believe lord Trancy's instructions were clear!" Secret batted the death-glare once again at Claude as she got up with only her bottom half covered by the sheets now. She quickly noticed she was exposed and covered up with the blanket. "Y-you were taking a gander at my breasts, weren't you?!" Secret said accusingly.
"Trust me," Claude said, "I wouldn't want to stare at something that's been used by half of Englands population."
"Claude!" Alois screamed in anger. "Perhaps you should go now." He said with his teeth gritted.
"Yes, my lord." Claude said as he walked out of the room. Alois looked over at Secret as a tear rolled down her check.
"Listen, I'm sure Claude didn't mean it. I'm sure he just-" Alois was cut off by Secret.
"Oh I'm sure he meant every word of it! That demon fuck! Listen to me Alois, you can't trust him. He will not stay true to his word and he will betray you." Secret looked deep into the Trancy's boys eyes and said these words as sternly as should could.
"Alright," Alois said, "now, let's show him what you know about dressing other people, hm?" Alois said with a smile.
They both appeared downstairs about 20 minutes later. Alois was dressed perfectly from head to toe. Claude couldn't believe his eyes. "Well Claude, what do you think now?" Secret said with a sense of pride in her voice.
Claude was speechless at first then he finally spoke. "Very nice indeed, Secret. It seems I underestimated your skills as a lady." Secret held her head up high with a sense of accomplishment. They all hopped in the carriage and rode over to the Wescraven manor. It was an old styled manor with little nick-knacks and gold plated everything everywhere. Alois, Claude, and Secret all got out of the carriage only to meet up with Ciel, Sebastion, and Finny.
"Alois," Ciel said, "I hope you brought a game as you were instructed to do." He glared at Alois expecting him to say he forgot. Alois had forgotten.
"Umm, uh, I uh-"
"Of course my lord brought his game, why, it's right here." Claude said holding up Alois's backgammon board that had been passed down through his family for generations. Alois sighed in relief as he turned back to Ciel.
"So, what game did you bring?" He said with wide eyes and a smile on his face. Ciel held up an old chess board that was kind of broken and beaten. The squares on the board were somewhat faded and the white king's piece was missing the cross on the top. But all the piece's were there and that's what counted.
Alois looked at Finny with a scowl and stared at him for a few seconds until finally Finny hid behind Sebastion. "Why did you bring that trash along?" Alois said with a smirk.
"I could say the same to you." Ciel scowled while looking at Secret. Secret scowled back; these were the times when you could tell they were truly related. Then, suddenly, they heard footsteps walk out the front entrance to the manor and a voice rang out.
"Please, this is a happy occasion, let us not ruin it with the bickering between two earl's." There he was, the head of the Wescraven family; William Wescraven. He was a 23 year old man with short dark green hair. He wore a necklace of a black diamond encrusted star around his neck and a yellow diamond encrusted pinky ring on his right hand. But the most recognizable part of his whole being were those bright yellow eyes that resembled a cat's. This was Sebastion's favorite feature of the Wescraven man.
"My apologies William, here is one of my chess sets. Favorite game, right?" Ciel said putting on a smile for the occasion.
"Of course." William said with a smile as he took the chess set. "And yours?" he said looking at Alois.
"Right here!" Alois said with a frown as he held up the backgammon board.
"What an exquisite set!" William said with wide eyes and a smile. It had ruby and sapphire circular stones as the playing pieces and the board itself was clear see-through diamond. The dice were solid gold with silver gemstones encrusted on them. He took the backgammon set and led them to the backyard. "Now that you two are here, the real party can begin."
