Hey you guys, just wanted to say that I appreciate all those who are reading this revised story. I also hope all of you like this story even though it

starts off kinda of slow I guess. It also has really short chapters which I know can annoy some people, so if any of you feel the need to gouge out my

eyes for writing such fucking short chapters and such a slow story, please tell me. I love feedback, it helps me become a better author. Also, if I

continue with these short kind of chapters, expect chapters to come out daily.

The death or Rachel and Vincent Phantomhive came as a surprise to all and their missing son came as yet another blow to the already grieving family. This, though catastrophic to the family, was news that did not reach Augusta or her father till a little after Ciel returned with a mysterious and loyal butler.

This came in the form of a shocking remark made by Augusta's mother when she and her father finally reached home. Though the misinformation of the Phantomhive family's 'ordeal' on Augusta and her father's part was due to the fact that she and her father had been on a trip around Europe and to New York.

This trip was originally intended or said to be for the purpose of attracting new investors for the mines of salt and gold that the Midford family was in possession of, but it morphed into an eight month sight-seeing expedition with Augusta as the main coordinator, even though her lack of natural sense of direction was legendary.

It was the blind leading the blind initially and it bred lack of communication between Augusta's father and the rest of the family that he'd left behind in the pair had no idea that the Phantomhive family had been attacked and the Earl killed till they returned to England.

Though Augusta did feel guilty about missing and not even being informed about the great loss within her family, she still wished that she and her father would have just left England and continued their trip around the world after paying respects at the graves and apologizing for being missing in action when a great crisis had occurred within the family. For there was much fun to be had when it was just Augusta and her father.

This was mostly because she could goad her father into buying her pretty and petty things and without the clunk of the rest of her family, she could go out and enjoy the sites, the stores, and the handsome men, which she only appreciated since she was already betrothed. But England was nice as well, for she could sometimes visit with Edward and when the season came, migrate to London and shop with Elizabeth.

And there was Charles Grey as well, even though her spending any sort of time would be like spending it with any other stranger since her feelings for him were not mutual. England was boring indeed until Augusta involved herself in the new Earl's affairs.
