INTO THE PHANTOMHIVES |1|

Vermiel Phantomhive:

—— • Three months have passed since Sebastian managed to save me from the Agriches, but those three months did not made mee feel better.

The queen did not asign me to any missions and would only dispatch Ciel. His mission was to investigate the cause of missing children, which coincidentally is at the same pace as moving circus.

But the mission was a failure, Ciel did not manage to save the children, he instead killed the mastermind and it's underlings and then burned the culprit's manor.

And so a letter from her majesty arrived, delivered by none other than her two white dogs. Charles Grey and Charles Phipps...

The queen's private secretarial officers and butlers.

"A banquet at the Phantomhive manor?"

The taller man, Charles Phipps, answered, "We'd like you, young lord Ciel,  to entertain Lord Geirg von Simens. He's a German personage, distantly related to Her Majesty." He pointed at Germany on the map laid on the coffee table.

"And he's expressed interest in British industry and private enterprise We thought you'd be able to call right of guests"

Ciel furrowed his eyebrows, "But I don't think your guest would be comfortable being entertained by a stranger. Wouldn't Her Majesty rather entertain him herself?", He reasoned.

Before Charles Grey could open his annoying mouth, I spoke the possibility. "This bangquet, it's supposed to like a redemption of my brother's and I's failure, isn't it?", I said as I sip on my tea.

Charles Grey laughed, "HAHAHA, as expected from the Countess, you're really smart. But you failed on your mission, ad the  Queen has suspicious about the report young master Ciel gave on the previous serial kidnapping case," he smirked.

"Young master Ciel said that the perpetrator is deceased, ad the children were beyond saving," wasn't it?"

Ciel calmed himself, he doesn't need to be angered right now. "Her Majesty wonders if something was omitted from that report", Grey said.

So she doubts Ciel's sincerity.

"And Countess, the Queen was immensely disappointed with your performance, so she wants you to invite a representative of the Agriches...I think you know what to do next," he said. I narrowed my eyes, Invite an Agriche? This might actually a good opportunity...

"Isn't this order a chance to reciv your image?", Grey tempted...

I glanced over to Sebastian, surprisingly he was frowning, not the usual smirk that he wears. What's with him?

He's been energetic after we came back but now he's all gloomy.

With a sigh I picked up the letter, "I understand, please deliver my thanks to her Majesty for this golden opportunity...", I accepted.

"Also... I'll be participating as an overseer, so I hope you don't mind.", He grinned. I smiled back, "Of course..."

"Well then, we'll be on our way. See you in two weeks..."
