——— • The days have passed and it's finally the first night of the event. Currently, Mey-rin, our one and only maid in the manor, is helping me with my dress.

A light blue with golden accessories, Ciel has always told me how these colors suit me and I often wear them whenever I want.

"You look lovely, my Countess!", Mey-rin gushed as she circled me, I nodded, I've outdone myself this time. It's a night full of opportunities why not become fashionable?

Mey-rin and I exited my room, as she excused herself I walked down the halls and into a corner I always visit, not one day I missed to visit it...

It was a lone picture of my parents. My mother, Rachelle, looks so beautiful and graceful, and my cunning father, Vincent, I look exactly like him.

If things were different, if both of you were still alive, would everything be better? Would he be still alive?

If that accident didn't happen would we still be happy? If you're here you'd give us the guidance we needed, the comfort we needed.

"Sister...we need to greet the guests now"

I glanced over behind me at Ciel who's waiting for me with Sebastian beside him.

"Would Ciel be able to laugh and genuinely smile more? Would we still need Sebastian?"

These questions ran through my head everytime I come here and converse with someone who's not even here anymore. If I ever die I'm sure father will be waiting for me in hell...

But plans are changed after Sebastian came to the picture... I'll probably never see my family again. Though it's for our dear revenge, would it really be worth it?

We arrived just on end of the ball room's stairway, immediately my eyes searched for our dear guests, and easily I caught his crimson eyes on me.

"Would my memories of him not disappear?"

What "if"s that occured in my head if we had not met Sebastian.

"What kind of person is the Countess?"

"Well, she's either entertained or bored, and she's the carbon copy of her father!"

"And...the lord?"

"Hmm, he wears an eye-patch like a pirate, which seems to have a complicated story behind it."

"Whaaaat?"

My eyes twitched as I heard that familiar voice, what is he doing, scaring the guests? "I've had enough of you teasing our guests, Lau?", I said loudly.

Lau, an associate of ours from China who is the branch manager of the trading company "Kong-Rong," an operator of opium dens, the top official of the Chinese syndicate Qing Bang, and an Aristocrat of Evil.

Together he's always seen with his younger sister, Ran-Mao.

"It's troublesome, really", Ciel added.
