That Butler, Isekaid (Modern!Reader Insert)

That Butler; Ride or Die

Somehow, Ciel and _______ find the kidnapped boy in the sarcophagus, but is taken hostage by an aforementioned murderer who demands the train be stopped.

However, not only is it revealed to all that the train cannot be stopped due to the bomb, but the train is headed for a broken bridge, and there may be an outbreak of cholera.

Ciel stands in the midst of the chaos, his eyes scanning the scene. He watches as Sebastian swiftly deals with the murderer, his movements precise and calculated. The tension in the air is palpable, and Ciel can feel the weight of the situation pressing on his shoulders. He knows that he must act quickly if he wants to save the kidnapped boy and prevent any further disaster.

"We need to find a way to stop this train. We can't let it reach the broken bridge," Ciel says, his voice firm and determined.

_______ nods, their gaze filled with determination. "Right. We have to save the kid and prevent any more lives from being lost."

Ciel's mind races as he tries to come up with a plan. He knows that time is running out, and that they must act swiftly. Suddenly, an idea strikes him. "Sebastian, stop the train or slow it down. We need to buy ourselves some time."

Sebastian smirks, his eyes glinting with mischief. "Of course, my lord. Leave it to me."

Many of the strange passengers rise to aid the situation, but Sebastian denies their offer and insists on taking care of everything himself. He amends the crisis by getting rid of the murderer, tearing off the dining car roof containing the explosives, and halting the train just before it reaches the broken bridge. Claude, who had been in the dining car the entire time, confronts Sebastian, presenting him with an invitation to a costume ball at the Trancy estate and claiming it would resolve Ciel's revenge.

That said, Ciel and co. go off to the Queen's Spider's manor, a ball shall be held upon their arrival. The manor is large, of course, nothing short of fancy. But much like his own manor, the place seems very understaffed. The one greeting them being a butler much like Sebastian, a tall male by the name of Claude Faustus. They are led into the drawing room, meeting up with everyone else as well.

Everyone else being Prince Soma, Agni, Lan Mao, Lau, and of course Ciel's fiancé Lady Elizabeth. Ciel still isn't too sure how to feel about the blonde, knowing her distaste for his trusted friend/servant. But he'll be sure to keep an eye on the two, just in case things go south. The ball starts soon enough, a costume ball where guests are required to dress up*

Prince Soma and Agni are matching, Sherlock Holmes and Watson. Elizabeth is in a sort of native outfit, and her maid Paula is in Egyptian wear. Lau and Lan Mao are in Japanese wears. Bardroy, Mey-Rin and Finny are all dressed up in something akin to creatures from "The Journey to the West" even trying to urge Ciel to match with them. He declines of course, refusing to wear such a ridiculous outfit when he already has his pirate outfit on.. Now where's ________?

Ciel scans the room, his eyes darting from one masked guest to another, searching for _________. He spots them near the grand staircase, in a sort of belly dancer costume (you may reimagine the outfit as you please), beautifully accurate down to the silks and veil. He must admit, it suits them. They're gorgeous in the pure whites and glittering golds of the fabric and accessories. Their hair is down like the last time they had to be in 'different' clothing, flowing gracefully behind them. (Hair color) strands contrasting but also blending well with the white almost transparent fabric and gold ornaments that make the veil on their head covering where their eyepatch would be. A beaded mask of sorts covers their mouth, adorned with little gold beads as well. They're stunning, so beautiful he almost can't tear his eyes away even if he probably should.

"You look really fitting in that costume Miss/Sir! Very good, yes."

Agni compliments ________ finding the accuracy of the garb very pleasing. _____ blushing a bit at the man's compliment, as they don't get complimented or doesn't know how to react to compliments most times.

"Oh- This? Um, ehe... Thanks??"

Ciel's heart skips a beat as he catches sight of __________ in their exquisite belly dancer costume. He finds himself momentarily mesmerized by their beauty, his eyes tracing the graceful curves of their body and the shimmering fabrics that adorn them. He quickly composes himself and looks away, reminding himself to maintain his cool composure. Ciel feels a tinge of jealousy as Agni compliments _________, his own emotions bubbling beneath the surface. He tightens his fists, reminding himself that he must stay focused on the mission at hand.

Ciel takes a deep breath, pushing aside his jealousy and refocusing on the task at hand. He approaches _______ with a composed expression, his eyes flickering with a mix of admiration and determination.

"_________, you look stunning in that costume. It suits you well," he remarks, his voice laced with a hint of genuine appreciation.

"Indeed (Sir/Miss?) ____________, you look splendid"

__________ blushes at Sebastian and Ciel's compliment, aura sparkling with gratitude. "Thanks guys I'm glad you think so," ______ replies, their voice soft and sincere.

Ciel notices the way ________'s gaze lingers on him, and he can't help but feel a surge of warmth in his chest. He clears his throat, trying to regain his composure.

"Now, let us not forget the purpose of this gathering. We are here to uncover the truth behind the strange occurrences that have been happening in London. Keep your eyes open and observe the guests. We must gather any information that may lead us to the answers we seek."

________ nods, their eyes filled with determination. "Sir Yessir. I'll be vigilant and assist you in any way I can."

"Honestly? I wasn't sure if this was the right choice, but I'm glad you think it looks good."

Ciel's eyes soften as he looks at ________, the intensity of his gaze revealing a hint of vulnerability.* "You always look good, _______. No matter what you wear."

__________'s eyes meet Ciel's, and for a moment, there's a silent understanding between them.

"Hmph, looks like you came from a brothel to me..." Lady Elizabeth mumbles, but they just ignore her- well mostly as _____ holds their chest muttering a small 'ouch' in response to it.

As the ball continues, _________ and Ciel find themselves drawn to each other, their conversations becoming more intimate and personal. They share secrets, dreams, and fears, finding solace and understanding in each other's presence.
