"This afternoon, we have green tea from the Kangra Valley. On the side, you will find a gooseberry and elderflower jelly." Sebastian informed as you both took a bite "I suppose it'll do." Ciel passed off as you nodded. "I'm glad you find it satisfactory. When you're both finished, there is work to be done." Sebastian informed. "Oh?" You questioned with a mouthful of jelly as Sebastian presented you with an envelope.

"People being burned alive? Oh, yes. That's to do with the rash of crimes in London?" Sebastian referenced as he poured more tea. "I'm told there was another last night." He added. "There was, and naturally her majesty grieves for those who have been afflicted and for her citizens who live in fear." Ciel confirmed as Sebastian placed down your refilled cups of tea. You seemed to be uncomfortable as you read the letter.

"Is there something else wrong, my lady?" Sebastian asked as you handed him the letter. "'We find these events most unsavory. Our course is quite clear. We shall again leave the matter to the Dog, the Butterfly, and the Spider.' That's an odd statement." Sebastian read out loud.

"It sounds as if she's saying this sort of incident has happened before." You pointed out as Sebastian agreed "And who is this spider?" Sebastian asked "A mysterious nickname, Spider. I can't say that I recall ever hearing of such a person." Ciel commented as you nodded in agreement. "There's no use sitting here, anyway. We'll see to the queens concerns. That must always be our priority. We head for London." Ciel ordered as he set down his tea on its saucers.

"I'll begin the preparations." Sebastian bowed "One more thing. Be careful that madam red doesn't catch wind of what we're doing." Ciel added "This is the sort of thing she likes. We don't need her poking her nose in." You commented as you followed after your brother who began walking out "I doubt there's any need to worry." Sebastian chuckled

"I don't like learning there's a part of our families past of which we know nothing." Ciel said, you three were currently being driven away to London to begin your investigation. "It's only natural. You were forced to assume the earldom at an early age, my lord. Surely there was much your father was unable to pass on to either of you." Sebastian reassured.

"We couldn't have asked for a better opportunity, though. If we can resolve a situation in which our father was embroiled, word will spread throughout the criminal underworld like wildfire. That should be what we need to draw them out of hiding." You pointed out with a frown "You intend to use yourselves as bait, my lord, my lady?" Sebastian questioned.

"They began this by hurting our pride, but we're the ones who are going to end it. We'll drag them all into open and make them pay. Nothing will stop us." Ciel answered as his grip around your waist became tighter because of his anger.

"And what do you do if it's turns out that the culprits have already perished?" Sebastian asked, considering that could be a possibility "Norhing changes. We'll tear the truth from their buried rotten flesh if we have to. Simple as that." You declared "There we go, true Phantomhives."
