graduated from medical school but does not work at a hospital or practice medicine he has held several parties at his residence during
the season but there are rumours that he also host secret parties on the side in which only he and his intimate acquaintances may participate.

ritual is being conducted at those secret parties and the prostitutes may have been used as offerings yes tonight there will be yet another.
party at the viscount's residence beginning at 19.00 as the season will soon be coming to an end it is safe to assume that this evening will be our final opportunity to steal in.
.
madam red that is where we stand can you do something about it really who do you take me for I'm quite popular with men ill, s have you
known obtaining an invitation or two will be child, s play then it's decided we'll do whatever it takes to get into that secret party but make
certain to never use the Phantomhive name we may fail to catch them otherwise this is our only chance.
this is rather grand isn't it? i wonder if indeed tonight marks the last night of the season it would appear that this evening will
most delightful we're done for if we arouse their suspicion listen up we did not come here to amuse ourselves do not let your guard down I
understand you're both the cutest little things aren't you while hugging the Phantomhive siblings let us go why must we something like this
what's this don, t you like your muslin French dress how could we like this now miss Skye as a lady you know never raises her voice.
Sebastian you bastard he, s right you two hear you both have to follow the script Lau is my young lover Skye is playing my niece who has
come to London from the countryside and Sebastian is my niece, s tutor oh and Grelle is my butler per usual oh Ciel is my niece, s butler so
why must we be your niece and butler well, you see I've always wanted a daughter a charming girl who looks wonderful in frilly dresses that
is your reason Skye yelled it would be if i were only joking were you two to be exposed as a Phantomhive it would be disastrous for us all
right in any case if people were to see a one-eyed boy with a well-dressed butler and a well attractive young girl they would know it was the
two of you on the spot so then it that both of you follows that this the best disguise.
and the viscount of Druitt supposedly loves women off all ages so it,s better if Skye is dressed that way Ciel yelled what your using my sister
were you not the one who said do whatever it takes then shall we go my lady now then we must first locate the viscount of Druitt i wonder
if the viscount of Druitt is a handsome fellow if that is the case i would be more than willing to do my part were uncomfortable it, s heavy
this dress they hurt my feet we want to go home we do not want Elizabeth and her fiancée to see us like this.
kyah your dress is so cute oh no were even imagining the sound of her voice now that hat of yours is lovely there are just so many ladies in
the loveliest dresses i can't stand it they are all so cute Sebastian young lady please calm down let us go over there for the moment ah that
girl over there is wearing an awfully cute dress she, s found us already this will never do my lady this way oh where did she go why is Elizabeth
and Justin here we must at least get a hold of madam red and the rest.
oh, ho i do not mind the press of this crowd in the least she, s utterly engrossed in the party this is not good i did not think her and her fiancée
would be here even though we are disguised if she were to catch a glimpse of our faces she would recognise you two right away if she finds
out it would spell the end of our investigation moreover everyone here would discover that my young lady is the young masters
younger sister if it becomes known that the head of the Phantomhive family had to dress like this a butler we will be shamed for all eternity
we would rather die than have that happen so she must neve.
the viscount of Druitt is as handsome as always his platinum blonde locks are like spun gold so he is the viscount of Druitt he is quite young
we,ll use a greeting as our front to get close to him i will observe from here because the presence of another man may make him wary please
behave like a lady as i have re taught you and not the gothic tomboy your brother will be joining me yes all right good evening viscount
of Druitt found you bloody hell i was so close you over there wait this way my lady you there a lemonade for that lady yonder if you please
yes sir.
that was dangerously close why do we always have to be the ones that suffe damn the hall is dancers swarming with
Skye cannot approach the viscount now let us employ the dance as a means of getting closer to the viscount you will be able to manage
what you were re taught yes are you telling me to dance here in public with the likes of who have you forgotten since your brother is playing
the butler for the present you expect me to dance here in public with my sister Ciel yelled and since i am your tutor giving your height young
miss it will be a problem i am not of a position to dance here in public with you in public my lady not as a tutor or a butler who also numbers
among the upper classes your brother shall lead in order to avoid colliding with the other couples let us take to the floor my lady Ciel said.
you two concentrate on the music if both of you match your steps to its rhythm your brother will take care of the rest we will never do this
again, do you understand yes tonight will be both of yours will be both the first and last time you two proceed forward just like that you
two shall cut across the hall after they both make it across the hall they were both exhausted we've both made it at last really how unsightly
you two to be exhausted over such a trifle we will get you some water forthw exquisite.
your dance was as lovely as a robin taking wing the viscount of Druitt to think he would approach me first young lady my lady we shall fetch
you something to drink my brother told me they both walked away ah um i am most honoured by your compliment pray tell me with whom did
you come this evening miss robin auntie Angelina brought me here madam red i see are you enjoying yourself i really impressed with this
wonderful party but i have wanted nothing more than to talk to the viscount all this time i have had my fill of dancing and eating oh a wilful
princess aren't we my little robin.
do you long for yet more pleasurable amusements bear with it i must bear with it only for this moment of what i was re subjected to this and
that yes have you something more interesting in mind viscount of course allow me to show you my lovely robin i overheard a chat between
my brother and Sebastian she, s pretty mischievous for being only eleven yes she knows how to play her part i thought hear
him saying something about killing the viscount when this is over swearing to put him into the ground i must get it out of him before
this dance ends what sort of things she, s looking this way would you like to know it will be all for naught if Elizabeth approaches me here.
oh yes i am most curious but perhaps it is a little too soon for you i am a proper lady this dance has ended can you keep a secret from the
madam don't be so pretentious of course i certainly can she's coming you seem to be worried about something oh ah no Elizabeth our life
will be over Sebastian big brother now that the party is at its height allow me to present to the ladies and gentlemen here an illusion that
makes use of this closet sir if you please would you be so kind as to lend a hand me very well ohh and now i shall enter this plain ordinary
closet i do not recall requesting a conjuror.
this is my chance my lord i have seen enough magic as well so kay all right my robin right this way once i have made my way into the
closet sir please secure it tightly with this chain then please employ these swords to pierce the closet i shall return alive from its skewered
recesses there are no tricks involved i hope you enjoy this unique illusion right then here i go he aimed directly at the headfirst i suppose that
will do well what do you say he still alive he didn't hold back in the slightest amazing it,s a miracle bravo that was wonderful Sebastian
madam indeed the closet was like a pincushion it did hurt a bit i did not think you would begin with my head.
so how did you do it you didn't know but you went and used all those swords anyway i believe i explained as much earlier that there no tricks involved.
.
