——— • The troupe's felt like they were dreaming, and that they'll be hanged once they wake up. From commiting crimes, to raiding nobles' houses, yet they were still saved. Tears of relief and joy ran down their faces as they saw each other again.

Doll was the happiest amongst them, she was truly greatful that she has her family back. And it's all thanks to Evangeline's decisions.

Meanwhile, Ciel felt a bit nervous. A man from the military, an earl at the age of eighteen, and head of the MI6. that's who Albert James Moriarty is.

Ciel painted his face with politeness, "It's an honor to finally meet you, Earl Moriarty. My name is Earl Ciel Phantomhive, the head of this manor," he stretched out his hand. The said man smiled down at him, his eyes slightly curving, and for a fleeing moment Ciel thought that he was a grim reaper due to his bright green eyes.

It was like he was staring at his soul, and he felt a sense of deja vu. Where have he felt that?

...with Eve.

Albert shook his hand, "It's also an honor to meet the person who saved my reckless little sister." Albert briefly glanced at Eve with a passive smile. Eve smiled back... knowing well that she will be scolded.

"I am Earl Abert James Moriarty, and this is our youbgest sibling, Louis James Moriarty," he said, mentioning the young boy who seemed to be just in the same age as Ciel, who's standing right beside Albert.

Louis bowed politely, "My lord, thank you for assisting my older sister," he says with a smile. Ciel shakes his head, "I should be the one thanking her."

Albert then motions an extra companion froward, "This is our bodyguard, Sebastian Moran. I assume he's needed with our meeting." Ciel looks up to the tall man who shares the same name as his butler. The said butler who was at the door hums in acknowledgement.

"I see, then it's nice to meet you, Mister Moran. Though I have say to avoid confusion, my butler's name is also Sebastian, so please don't be startled when I call him," Ciel smiles kindly, oh how so fake yet convincing he is.

"Copy that, My lord," Moran nods, taking a glanve at the tall yet lean butler near the doors.

Albert's eyes then swifts towards the young lady next to his sister. Elizabeth who was staring at him the whole time, averted her eyes away— but she remembered her position and bowed her head. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Earl Moriarty. My name is Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford, I'm sire you've met my father."

Albert smiled with recognition, "Yes, I have met Marques Alexis. It's good to finally meet you, lady Elizabeth."

Knowing his effect with girls and women, Albert is aware of the young lady's growing affection. Though he needs not to worry about it, it's just going to end up as a puppy crush.

Meanwhile Eve just watches all with a knowing expression. She's used to people fawning over him, so she's not surprised that even a Midford becomes infatuated with him.

Ciel coughs to get everyone's attention, including the troupe, "Ladies and gentlemen, shall we go in? Lunch will be served as soon as possible."

——— • Everyone is then at the dining room, with the Moriartys sat near to Ciel. The moment they were all seated, the doors opened and revealed Mey-rin and Sebastian pushing trays with wine, and juice.

Everyone was served beverages, and Albert can't wait to taste the wine.

Ciel stood up and held up his glass of fruit juice which replicated the color of the wine. Did Sebastian made it like that so that he won't look like a child? Yes...and Eve can't help but smile in amusement when she noticed the detail.
