(Third Person)

Ciel lay asleep on a bed inside the Trancy estate as morning was finally set outside.

A certain butler came into the room with some tea for the young master to have once he has woken up.
“Good Morning, Young master” Said the butler as he saw the teenage boy stir and finally open his eyes.

“Is that Earl Grey I smell?” He asked sleepily.
The butlers face showed that he was pleased as he walked over to the edge of the bed.
“Yes. This morning, I have prepared Mariage Frères’ Earl Grey Imperial for you”

This was a normal routine that Ciel was used to with Sebastian, but this time, his butler wasn’t here.
The man with the glasses bent down to his level and opened his mouth to speak.
“It is the finest tea, with only the highest-quality leaves” The man said then turned to gather the tea as the young teenager finally decided to sit up.

Ciel held his head as if he had a headache. I mean, who wouldn’t after that intense night last chapter?

“I thought it would be perfect for you”
Ciel glared at Claude as the butler began to take off the nightgown the royal had while he was sleeping.

The morning passed by fast with the butler dressing him in his normal clothes.
“Where’s Alois?” Ciel asked out of the blue.
“What do you mean? He’s dead” Came the response from the butler “Do you feel grief?”
“He died because he was weak. That’s all” Ciel declared and looked straight ahead as the butler was impaled by a feeling of pure bliss at the words.

Applying his socks on, Claude began to admire Ciel’s legs and bent down to give his foot a kiss. Ciel on the other hand, felt something warm and slightly wet come in contact with his foot and his first instinct was to kick the butler for committing such a vulgar act.

“Don’t do such gross things!” Yelled the teenager as a loud noise was able to be heard from the outside. Kind of like something was broken, something really huge.
“Strengthen the guard” He demanded and stood up to attend to the things he needed to do.

~~~~~~~~

Now who was making all that noise? Well none other than Sebastian. He had destroyed most of the trees outside due to his jealousy of hearing Claude’s actions towards his young master.

At about the same time, there was a certain redhead taking advantage of the situation.

Click.

“Oh yes!” He breathed out. “Such a wonderful sight!”
Picture after picture. Click after click was heard until the film finally was jammed.
“No! At such a moment like this” The redhead groaned.

Sebastian had noticed him and took a statue that was nearby. He lifted it above his head and walked over to Grell who seemed to be trying to fix his camera.

Grell finally took note of the shadow moving behind him and turned around rapidly to find Sebastian holding the giant statue above his head.

“Sebastian?! When did you…”
“I would like to ask the same of you” Sebastian responded as he slammed down the statue onto Grell’s head.

~~A while later until Grell wakes up~~

After being hit in the head with a statue, one does not simply leave that person to fend for themselves. Seems like Sebastian had the same idea.

“Umm…. Why are you preparing tea just for me…?” Grell asks and turns to face him. “Ah! Well I’m happy but…”

While Grell was talking, Sebastian had enough time to finish the tea he was making. It was a very special tea.
He showed the red head the tea and began with the usual food introduction.
“Suutei tsai.” Sebastian says in reference to the beverage in front of the redhead. “Mongol-style milk tea with rock salt”
“Rock salt?!?!” Grell cried out and thought about how badly the salt will burn his wound from the inside of his mouth. Apparently getting hit in the head with a statue was not a good idea.

“Spreading salt on a fresh wound brings about the best encouragement” Sebastian says, cutting off Grell’s thoughts. “For you, Grell, I’ve put in twice as much more rock salt than normal”
“ehh!”
“Then twice again”
“ehh!!”
“I’ve prepared the generous amount”
Grell looked down at the tea cup and looked back up at the butler who was encouraging him to taste it. Grell couldn’t say no to that cursed man.

~~~~~~~~

Grell only touched his tea twice as he told Sebastian everything from Alois dying to what plans Claude had made.

“I see… Claude murdered Alois Trancy there” Sebastian responded to the information he had just been given.
“Yes. Next he thought of a ritual to transfer souls” Grell says, knowing about how Ciel was dunked in the green water. He didn’t like the ritual Claude had thought of.
“He didn’t completely fuse the souls together, but the memories are completely overwritten”
“Then right now, Alois Trancy is…” Sebastian says, letting Grell finish his thought.
“He became a ring, just like your young master.”

Suddenly, someone shouted something that wasn’t audible. Only Sebastian could hear it, those mocking words coming from the other butler who loved spiders. What did those words say?
“Ciel Phantomhive soul… is good!” Claude had yelled it out the window in pure bliss after finishing the duty of brushing Ciel’s teeth.

“Let’s go... Grell” He said as his shadow became darker and more ragged by the second.

~~~~~~~~

At the same time, Ciel had walked out of the mansion in hopes of taking a breather and letting his thoughts get sorted out. He didn’t know what to think anymore.

Why does that man call me ‘young master’?  Is Alois really dead? Why is (Your name)…

Ciel suddenly stopped walking and remembered all the times he spent with 14 year old (Your name). Even those times that weren’t added into the story at all. When (Your name) showed him how to dance… When he still failed miserably at it… When she tried to teach him how tie his shoe and when he couldn’t do it, even after hours of instruction.
He could feel his face heat up into a blush, causing him to be angered at the flowers beside him for no apparent reason. He just began to swat them and swat them some more until he hit something that wasn’t a flower.

“Its fine… hit me hard” He heard as he looked down and saw a beaten Hannah. “However many times it takes to ease your heart”
“What are you saying?” Ciel asked and looked down at her, offering her a hand as the wind began to pick up speed and send petals into the air like a perfect evening only shown in movies.
“Do you intend to take a nap there?” Ciel asked as Hannah smiled and took his hand, getting up with the offered help.

~~~~~~~~

Claude had ordered the triplets after Sebastian, knowing Sebastian’s plan already. Sebastian intended to get followed by some of the Trancy servants and get information out of them. However, the triplets knew nothing, or would say nothing towards the man.

“There is now way he could know what we have planned…. Unless that cursed redhead tells him” He thinks out loud.
“(Your name), come here please…”  Claude called out. He had something for her to do.

No reply.

“(Your name)!” He tried again and got the same response.
"I haven't seen her at all these days" He says as he suddenly gets a thought.

“She couldn’t have…” He breathed out and looked out the window, only to see you following after the triplets.
“If she finds out what I plan to do… then everything is done for”

Claude jumped out the window, determined to kill you to get what he wanted.
