"This morning you have a dance lesson with Mrs. Bright. This afternoon, an appointment with Lord Wensler, an import exporter." Sebastian informed your brother who you walked beside and after not receiving any word from him questioned. "Are you listening to me, my lord?"

"I told you, I'm sick of dancing lessons. It's not for me." Ciel grumbled "You are too modest. Your dancing soothes the heart of everybody who sees it in action." Sebastian mockingly said "By making them laugh? Is that what you mean? It is, isn't it?" Ciel asked as Sebastian tried to reason. "No, I would never say that. But your sister hardly gets any dance lessons and she's as graceful as a butterfly, I don't know how you can barely last three seconds without stepping on your partners foot, honestly, I'll have to start setting up your dancing with Y/n instead." Sebastian sighed.

"But Y/n isn't fond of dancing, isn't that right?" Ciel asked you as you nodded. "I only dance to live up to my title as a countess, if I didn't I'm sure-" you were interrupted by the sounds of overlapping laughter coming from a room in the halls, you immediately ran towards the room where it came from and peaked in before opening the door fully.

"Look, Tanaka! Three upright tea stalks. I think it promises to be en excellent day." Ash, the queens butler conversed with Tanaka who just laughed. "To what do we owe the pleasure of having the queens butler pay us a visit on this fine day." You spoke through gritted teeth and a strained smile, annoyed that he just suddenly appeared in your home.

"Greetings, Phantomhive. I do apologize for this embarrassing display." Ash apologized as he stood up from his position on the chair, "Still, why is the queens butler at my estate?" Ciel asked

"So sorry, I thought you were aware of his role, young master." Sebastian addressed your brother "This entire time, Ash has been her personal messenger. His job is to deliver the orders her majesty sends out for you two, my lord." Sebastian explained as you raised a brow.

"That's not a job for a butler." You commented as you both turned to looked at Sebastian. "Forgive me, but I beg to differ. If I couldn't consult the doomsday book for those requesting an audience with her majesty and travel here to deliver a simple message and then stop for an elegant tea break what kind of butler would I be?" Ash went on before taking a loud sip of his tea.

"Yes, well, having a tea break is hardly a duty for a butler." Ciel acknowledged before taking his hand off his hip and using it to grab your waist to pull you closer to him. "Well, as the lady said, to what do we owe the pleasure?" Sebastian repeated what you had said earlier as Ash stopped sipping his drink.

"Oh, indeed. Outside of Preston there is a Catholic abbey. It was burned down during the Reformation and is no longer in use. A cult practicing the Isna religion has begun gathering there." Ash informed "We have received word that the cults leader is in possession of the doomsday books of all its many followers."

"You mean the land registers? Where all livestock and property is recorded? I don't understand, what could he poss want with that?" You asked with a tilt of your head, "Oh, no. Their doomsday books are quite a bit different than that. They aren't the normal records you're used to. They don't cover property. These are the records required when you stand before the lord in heaven on doomsday, the day of judgement. All your sins, and your good works are supposedly recorded there." Ash explained as you hummed.
