Sorry for the late update! My computer's been a little screwy. c:
DAY EIGHT
Ciel took a sip of his Earl Grey Tea. It was almost midnight and the new letter hadn't come. Ciel was trying not to get worried. Was I wrong? Ciel's hand shook slightly as he put the cup down. Was wholesome the wrong answer?
Sebastian came in, and the amount of air that followed him suggested that he ran up to the office room. "The next letter, My Lord." He walked up to the desk and placed the red and gold letter down. Red and gold? Ciel stared at it. What happened to silver and grey? Ciel's hands shook as they reached to grab the letter within the envelope.
If you want a better hint, you'll need a harder riddle.
I'll give you the first word if you answer this riddle.
If you are wrong, and cannot answer,
I'll stop giving you hints altogether.
Instead, I'll give you a new prize.
A prize that tells you who/what to avoid.
Here's your riddle, and you better be ready.
You'll only get 36 hours to answer.
Ciel shook visibly as his eyes read the next lines.
There are two men being tried for murder.
One is found guilty, one is found innocent.
The judge turned to the guilty man and said,
"The Law says I have to let you free."
How did the judge make this decision?
Ciel swore violently under his breath as he reread the letter. He tried to get Sebastian to come over, but he shook his head.
"I cannot help you on this one, Young Lord."
"Useless," Ciel had whispered to the window.
