' So that boy is Ceil Phantomhive…..'
The carriage stop in front of the small mansion own by me, although it was small than the mansion back home but it really confortable. Vincent open the carriage door and help me out, we walk inside the mansion after Vincent open the main door that was painted dark grey.
"I will prepare the tea my lady"
Vincent bow lightly and went to make the tea. I walk toward the reading room that kept many of books and novels but still this is little than compared it back at the mansion, just think about it really make me miss my home. I put the hat on the study desk and sit on the red couch. I pick up the novel I left on the small table in front of me.
Not long I have read the novel, Vincent came in with tray of tea and biscuits. "Today tea is jasmine tea, your favorite my lady" said him and pour it in to the cup. Vincent always served me my favorite tea when I in my happy mood right now. I take the cup from him and take a sip before continue reading the novel while eating the biscuits. "May I ask you a question my lady?" said Vincent as he undo my hair into it usual form. "certainly" I said still reading the novel. "What did the queen requested you to do in the 'Jack The Ripper' case?" said Vincent while brushing my hair gently with a hair brush.
A small smile appear on my lips, "Her Majesty asked me to observe her watchdog doing it work" I said and bite on the last biscuit. Although I can't do my usual job as 'The Queen's cat' but it was refreshing to do new things. " I see…" he said and pour tea In my cup. " Tonight we going to a party in one of the noble named Aleister Chamber, I calculated that Ceil Phantomhive will suspect that this noble man was 'Jack The Ripper' Since he attained a doctor's license and he has the least alibi in the list, I 100% sure he will attend this party" I said and drink my tea delightfully.
"Well then I will get your dress ready for the ball…"
(AT THE PARTY)
(NIGHT TIME)
(No One Pov)
The party was wonderful like any noble party. At the corner of the room there stood two figures, one was a young handsome man wore a nice standard dark violet suit with black trouser. Beside him was a young lady around 14 wore beautiful violet dress with black long gloves, black ribbon tied on her neck and a cute little black hat with white carnation flower on it. Many men and women gathered around them, both of them like a piece of art that attract others to them.
"Such a beautiful young lady"
"What a cute pair…."
Lady Annabelle just smiled sweetly that earned men's attention and women's jealousy. Vincent who stood silently beside her also caught many attention but mostly from the gentlemen. The butler scanned the room if the Queen watchdog has arrive. He feel someone tugged his sleeve, "Vincent…". Vincent got the messaged, he give out his famous smile that melted all heart effectively. "Please excuse us…" Vincent leaded her out of the crowd to less crowded place that was near the balcony. Lady Anna sighed heavily and quickly her sweet angelic smile turn sour frown.
Although she may acted like she enjoyed socializing but actually she was anti-social girl who prefer books than socialize with others. "he sure took long to get here. *sigh* I want to go home and read!" said her grumpily. "You must endure it my Lady, it your duty as Her Majesty's shadow" said him and give her a glass of lemonade that was from the butler that served it. She take a sip from it and sigh again, she really need to read the novel.
"Anna!"
Lady Anna almost dropped her lemonade surprised by the sudden outburst. "I know th-" she don't get to finished her sentences when someone hugged her from behind. "Anna I misss youuu sooo muchhh! Where have you been?!" Elizabeth Midford who was childhood friend to Lady Anna was glee to see her. Lady Anna hugged her back with small smile on her lips and passed the lemonade to her butler. "Is good to see you too Lizzy…but wasn't we had seen each other last month?" said Lady Anna still hugging her childhood friend. "Well yes but I miss dressing you up and also dressing your butler up too! *look at Vincent* Hi Vincent!" said Lady Elizabeth with a grinning smile. Vincent smile and bow a bit, "It pleasure to meet you, Lady Elizabeth".
The two petite girls chatting with each other without care of in the world, "you wore beautiful dress today and it matched your eyes, so cute!" said Lady Elizabeth with sparkling eyes in admiration. "Thank you for your compliment, I also loved your dress, it suited you" said Lady Anna in equaled excited voice. "I wish I could dress up Vincent, he was so cute in dresses *whisper* are you sure Vincent is a man rather than a woman?" Lady Anna giggled by listening to her, she also wondered too when she first time met him three years ago. "I'm sure of it" said Lady Anna and glance at Vincent who was a bit far from them.
Lady Anna was curious of what Vincent was looking and followed his gazed, her eyes met the Queen's watchdog in dress? She blinked twice, when she was sure she wasn't dreaming she chuckle in amused. She went to Vincent side in sly smile, "It seem that the Queen's watchdog do anything to completed the task" said her and earned Vincent's nod and smirk. Who can guess that the proud noble boy willing to dressed as a girl in condition to complete the task, 'human are unpredictable'.
"Ahh that dress is cute too!"
Lady Elizabeth who was admiring other women dresses and forgot Lady Anna for a while looked at Ceil Phantomhive who disguised as a girl startled along with his butler who also disguised as his/her tutor. It almost comical to see the proud noble boy tried to avoid his fiancé in ordered to keep his titled and honored. Lady Anna giggled childishly, "Just look at that" said Lady Anna while her eyes still fixed at them till they retreated to the balcony.
(With Ceil and Sebastian)
"Why is she doing here?!" clearly Ceil Phantomhive was in his little panic mode.
"It seem she was invited by The Viscount and so do they"
Sebastian gazed at the young butler he met earlier, his gazed also returned by a small smile from the young butler. 'Demon….' Thought him and turned his head to his mistress. Ceil now focused on the Viscount Aleister who appeared in the ballroom not long ago. "Let go Sebastian" said him and walked inside with Sebastian behind but they stopped as the music started to played.
"Let the party begin!"
Guest start to dance as sign the party have started. With a small smile, Sebastian took his mistress hand. "Let us dance my lady" said him and dance with his mistress. While dancing, Sebastian make sure that Lady Elizabeth wasn't near them or they will face doom for his mistress/master at least.
(With Annabelle and Vincent)
A lot of the gentlemen had asked Lady Anna to dance with them but she rejected politely. She have two reason to do so… one, she wasn't confortable near men except Vincent and two, she really can't dance. Vincent had tried many times to convinced her into dancing with many excused and tricked but she was stubborn. Lady Anna stood quiet beside Vincent, observing The Queen's watchdog do his job.
Vincent can't Stop glancing at the butler disguised tutor, he also knew that that man wasn't human, 'demon, never thought will met demon here'. His glanced wasn't go unnoticed by the other man, they eye locked with each other. Silent words exchange between them….
"The famous demon crow worked under a child, this is new"
"Then we equal, demon"
"*chuckle* we are not equal dear Mr. Crow, the soul I tied with much more than yours"
Smirk appeared on Vincent face, 'much much more than yours' thought him and licked his bottom lips playfully. Seeing this, the disguised butler smirk back and continue focused on his dance.
"What are you smirking about, Vincent?"
Turned his attention to the young lady, Lady Anna sigh and pointed at the exit. "Lets go, I have done my observation and have done my calculating" said her and pulled her butler sleeve. He nod and lead her out of the crowd, all in his head was a confident feeling that his meal wasn't been target by the crow.
