After Ciel asked England's name, which is the human name, he continued to read the letter. A few minutes later, he put the letter on the study desk, as Sebastian took it and read it too.
"Isn't this just your ordinary case? Why should the Queen be worried?"
"That's why I don't know. Her Highness only told me what I should do."
Ciel sipped a cup of tea, as he was trying to think.
"Missing people around London... Similar cases like this appeared a long ago, right?"
"The case of Noah's Ark, Jack the Ripper. Something like those?"
After Sebastian read it, he stated his point. "It appears that the time and the scene of the crime are all different."
"Then, I guess we can ask Yard tomorrow morning. Arthur, what are you going to do?"
"Stay here? I kinda want to take a look around. I haven't been in the evil noble Phantomhive's manor for a while."
"Fine by me. Sebastian, escort him to a guest room. We don't know how long we'll handle this case, anyway, and the Queen ordered him to stay with us until it's over."
"Yes my lord."
As ordered by Ciel, Sebastian escorted Arthur to a guest room. As he opened the door, he saw a pretty large room with unique ornaments and furniture. All the furniture were high-class and priceless. That's an Earl for you.
"Perhaps this room is a little bit disappointing for a Queen's envoy."
"Nah, it's fine. I prefer a simple room."
"Well then, I shall return to Young Master. Please enjoy your stay."
Sebastian left the room. While Arthur's alone, he walked towards a glass window which was located at the right side of the wardrobe in the room. The wardrobe's left side was a large bed. He looked down, seeing a large garden, and the person who attended it.
"I guess I'll go down."
In the garden, a young man wearing a straw hat on his back and a simple white shirt with trousers. Arthur felt interested to the garden below, and decided to walk down. When he's on the hallway, he suddenly heard a large explosion. Actually, the explosion was pretty close to Arthur. It was right in front of his eyes. He was really surprised until he fell to the ground.
"Wh-what the bloody hell happened!"
He was curious with the explosion, and decided to look at the place where it exploded. When he peeked, he saw a man wearing a chef uniform, a pair of googles, and holding a flamethrower. His hair is black afro, possibly due to the explosion. His face and some of his skin was burned black. Arthur could only looked in shock.
"Ah...My new weapon is a failure... It doesn't burn well..."
Doesn't burn well? That explosion, and the burn marks on your body... Those are not enough?
Arthur could only facepalm himself.
The chef looked at Arthur's direction. "Oh? I thought it's Sebastian..."
Before Arthur was able to talk, suddenly Sebastian was there and bowed a little to Arthur.
"We have put your life in danger, we're truly sorry."
"Well, I'm not hurt that much..."
After that, Sebastian quickly looked at the burned chef. "Bard, I think I only tell you to prepare for dinner. I don't remember telling you to burn the dinner."
"C'mon! This is the new flamethrower from my boss! This is the perfect time to try this new guy!"
"You have to behave yourself for once in front of the Queen's envoy."
"Queen's envoy? This thick eyebrow guy?"
Hearing this, Arthur's expression from shock turned to upset. However, he tried to keep his emotion standard.
"He's our special guest. Treat him with respect."
"Ahh... what the hell..."
Sebastian came into the burned kitchen and took a look around the room. He opened the fridge and the drawers to see if there's something can be done.
"Hmm... We're in luck. Not all the foods are burned. I guess I can whip something from these ingredients."
Sebastian began taking out the safe ingredients, and started to cook. While he was cooking, Bard conversed with Arthur.
"So, what's your name?"
"It's Eng... I mean Arthur Kirkland. Call me Arthur."
Bard took a long look at Arthur, as if analyzing him.
"Hmm... I thought Queen's envoy will be someone more grand..."
"Sorry to disappoint you..."
During that, Sebastian came out from the kitchen.
"I've prepared today's dinner. Bard, you clean the kitchen. Don't go playing around with that thing."
"Fine, fine..." Bard scratched his head and began cleaning up while Sebastian and Arthur left the room.
"I must apologize once more for putting you in danger."
"I said it's okay, right?"
"I see... Well, please be careful around the house."
Sebastian left Arthur there, while he continued his way to the garden.
He went to the main hall, where he met a young maid wearing a pair of thick, round, cracked glasses. She was carrying a bucket full of water. The maid seemed to notice Arthur, and walked towards him. "Oh, are you our guest?"
However, as she said that she fell down, and the bucket flew over. Pretty much out of great luck, Arthur managed to evade the bucket, and caught it. "Whoa there, you okay?" asked Arthur, as he stepped backwards a bit.
"Ah! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"
"Careful there..." Arthur gave the maid the bucket, and then he went outside.
Unknown by Arthur, the maid blushed a little before she went back to work. However, when she turned back, Sebastian greeted her right in front of her face.
"Mey-Rin, a maid should greet the guest in a more formal way. Not in the stupid way like this."
Mey-Rin stammered, and she couldn't say a word, because her face was too red, like a tomato.
Arthur was walking around the garden, when he found the gardener. The young man quickly noticed Arthur's presence, and he ran towards him. "Oh, you're the special guest that I saw back then!"
"Yeah. And you're the gardener here?"
"Hehe! Pretty much so! My name is Finnian, but call me Finny!" He answered cheerfully.
"I'm Arthur."
Finnian looked really excited in front of Arthur. While he did it, Arthur looked at the watering can behind him. "Hey, are you okay leaving the watering can like that?"
"I think it's fine, why?"
"Well, the water inside leaked out."
Finnian was really shocked, and he quickly checked the can. It's true. The water inside really leaked out. Also, the plants where the water was spilled, were withering. Arthur immediately knew that it's not water that's inside the can. It's herbicide.
Thanks to Arthur's keen look, Finnian was able to take the can of the plants, and at least saved the other plants.
"What a way to start this day... Will this manor be okay?"
Arthur let out a sigh.
Author's note:
Well, I guess I'll just continue this. I don't know if this chapter is funny to you all or not, since maybe I lack sense of humor. I already tried my best to make it funny. I don't know about you all... Anyway this chapter is just a filler. The real case starts later on. Well, please R&R!
