"…Cheater." remarked the white-haired earl, frowning in defeat. "Am not." replied Ciel, smirking at his victory.
"Yes, yes, I know. I apologize, it was a childish remark."
"No need to apologize. And no need to worry either. I won't dress you up in anything," he put his hand on his chin to add flair, "dramatic." The girl sighed. "I hope so… wha-"
"I'm sorry to interrupt, young master. But you have a visitor." said a smiling Sebastian. "Who is then?" "Earl Trancy."
Ciel almost choked on air. For a second, the boys eyes went wide, but them narrowed and burrowed his eyebrows together. "Tell him I will shortly be there. And prepare some tea." The butler bowed, and left.
"Hm, Earl Trancy? Who is this man who brims your mind with turmoil, Ciel?" "Not someone you want to know. But I suppose you have no choice now. Come." He said, while holding the door open.
The two teenagers walked down to meet with the other Earl in the lounge. At first sight of the boy, Judith seemed paralyzed. What captivated her first was his eyes. Pupils as blue as the sky, filled with innocence but rimmed with insanity. His luscious blonde hair framed his pale boyish face, where his lips where sculpted into a childish smile.
"Ah, hello Ciel. And hello, my lady. I am Alois Trancy, Earl of the Trancy Manor~! Who might you be?" He questioned as he grabbed her cold hand and kissed it with his tender lips. "I am Judith, Earl of the Junsuina Manor. It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Trancy."
"Please, call me Alois! Lord makes me feel old." Giggled the boy as he flopped down on the couch. "What business do you have with me, Trancy?" snarled Ciel. "No need to act mean, Phantomhive. Can't I pay my best friend a visit?" replied Alois with a mischievous smirk. "Alois, we are not even friends. It is a one-sided relationship, from your part." "Tch. So mean and denial. Isn't he, Judith?"
"Well, not precisely. Ciel is a very nice person, to me at least." She managed to say, as she took a seat. "Ciel, why are you only mean to me? What have I done?"
And that's how the evening went on. They talked about random subjects brought on. But not one conversation ended with out a pointless argument about the smallest of details. Judith of course, just sat there watching the two men argue. She also took notice that while Ciel was taking them seriously, Alois was doing them out of pure amusement and seeing Ciel angry. 'What an interesting boy… so unpredictable.' Judith thought, as she began to stand up. "Pardon me, but I ought to get going. It's already dark." "Alright, thank you so much for coming Judith. I'll see you next week. Do be safe on the way home." Ciel said, as the three walked to the door. "Of course she will be safe, Claude and I are taking her. Right, Judith?" Alois remarked, in a hopeful tone. "We'll, I… Yes." Judith said, not finding the will power to deny the boy that captured her eyes.
The three said there goodbyes, and the two light-haired earls got in the carriage. On the way home, Alois and Judith talked more about personal things, getting to know each other more. Suddenly, the carriage came to halt. "Thank you, Alois. It was very nice meeting you, I hope I see you soon." Judith said, kissing his cheek. "Your welcome, and don't worry. You will~" he grinned as she left for home.
'Earl Trancy. There's something about you that pulls me in. Your like a mystery, and I want to find out all your secrets. But why? I've never reacted to meeting someone like this after that incident with my parents… not even Ciel. It is probably my mind playing tricks on me, as always.' Judith pondered, as she slowly drifted away into a dreamless slumber.
