Time had decided to stop just as Elizabeth saw Ciel enter with his head held high and completely indifferent to the stares and whispers of the people around him.The Count began to get closer and closer to her and did not want to let her out of his sight not even for a moment; she, on the other hand, was already lost. How could that charming man be the little Count she had fallen in love with long ago? His face was more pronounced, his body and posture were perfect, and the only features he had left from when he was little were his sapphire blue eyes, one of which was still bandaged.
Ciel took the girl's hand and kissed it so gently that she shuddered at that lightness.
-:Good evening my Lady, today is an important day and that is why I offer you my dearest wishes, I had my gift brought to your room:- said he looking at her but without letting go of her hand.
-:C-ciel?! Is it...really you?:- the trembling voice and tears in her eyes made the Count change his expression and he immediately consoled her -:Lady Elizabeth I don't want you to waste your tears on me on your day, I only came for this, we will have plenty of time to talk to each other after the celebration:-.
Elizabeth was about to hug Ciel with so much affection that she almost forgot about the people around her, but Richard's interruption brought her back to reality -:My dear who is this man?:- asked he looking at him smiling, -:Oh, right! Richard do you remember when I told you about Count Ciel Phantomhive, well that's him...Ciel he is-:-
-:Count Richard Moonlight, the betrothed of today's birthday girl and the queen's new guard dog, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance:-. With that response Ciel stunned Richard who remained somehow satisfied by him-:Well what to expect from a colleague of mine, I know that long ago you had my charge, please continue to enjoy yourselves:-.
----------------The party was going in the best way and obviously everyone was curious about where Ciel had been all that time, but he did not want to give any explanation as all the attention went to Lizzy who was still a bit confused but at the same time happy. As they all danced he stood (as his usual) in the background and observed.-:Ciel may I call you by your first name?:- Richard asked him cheerfully, -:Yes, no problem:--:Listen here, when you came in you had a raven on your shoulder, but it's not there anymore:-
-:Ah, well I usually carry it with me, it's like a pet but being a bird I can't keep it all the time so sometimes I let it fly away:- --:And you're not afraid of him running away?:-- -:No, rather I would worry about your pet, your butler is never by your side:-- -:James?! Naaahh, he knows what to do without me telling him:-.
------(A few hours before the party)------
Ciel and Sebastian had managed to pick up some of the investigation that Richard was working on, and that very evening, one of the guests was none other than the child murderer who had begun to roam the city of London.-:Bocchan, since when did you return to your previous employment?-:Since I had the intention of disturbing my let's call him successor as well, I would really like to see how he will fight us:- replied the diabolical Count.That evening, Richard was supposed to keep an eye on the guests and catch the murderer who had sowed panic in the town. -:The plan is simple, I want you to kill him before he does:-.-:But we don't even know who he is:--:It's Baron Tweels, I did a detailed research before I came here and I am fully prepared, today at the party I will enter with you on my shoulder, you will have to turn into raven, after that look for the Baron and as soon as you see that he has gone away, kill him without anyone looking at you:--:You are asking me to play right?:--:Sure, you are also part of my game and see that you don't meet the demon of this Richard Moonlight, I would like our real identities to remain hidden, just like in the old days:- -:Yes, my Lord:------------------------------------Just after he finished talking to Richard, the raven returned to Ciel's shoulder as he stood up to greet the guests and return home. Lizzy came up to him -:Ciel, I am so happy about the visit for my birthday, I hope I can meet you in the following days:-the girl said hugging him -:Me too, Lizzy:-.
