After some time of boring and dreary work, Ciel receives a letter from the aforementioned Queen's spider. An apology of sorts, and invitation to come to the Trancy manor for a chat and some "entertainment" or whatever. Ciel, despite his distaste for the noble boy, humors him. And comes upon the invitation, a form of respect perhaps? Or an acceptance of a challenge?

Now, incidents in the English underworld which most greatly offend the Queen are judged in darkness by the Phantomhives. As her guard dog, a loyal noble bloodline that has been around for many a generation. With that noble family, comes the Trancy nobles. The Queen's spiders that then erase the incidents into the darkness along with it. Two of the most noble and high status families in all of Great Britain. Even with their roles, that doesn't mean they have to like each other...

Alois leads Ciel over to the special ball and area that he had made for their entertainment for that day. A dueling ground just behind the Trancy manor. Alois explains the "game", their servants will battle for them or as he calls it "dance" and the one who does not stop "dancing" wins. The loser will have to do whatever Simple enough, yes? Thus, the battle ensues between their servants. Alois with 5 demon servants, outnumbering Sebastian, but surely the butler can handle himself just fine...

Ciel eyes Alois with a mixture of skepticism and irritation, not quite convinced of the noble's intentions for this so-called "entertainment." He scans the dueling grounds, taking note of the servants gathered on either side. The tension in the air is palpable as the battle is about to commence.

He sits turning towards __________, his protective instincts kicking into overdrive. His gaze falls upon Sebastian, who stands confidently amidst Alois' demon servants. Ciel knows Sebastian's capabilities well, and he has utmost faith in the demon's strength and skill.

__________ looks over at Ciel too, concern etched in their features "Don't worry, _________," he says in a low voice, his voice carrying a hint of determination. "I won't let anything happen to you. We must stay on our guard and watch for any tricks the Trancy household may have up their sleeves."

"Hah... Hint of the day. Blood.."

Ciel narrows his eyes at Alois' cryptic remark, his curiosity piqued. He leans in closer to _________, his voice barely above a whisper. "Blood? What do you mean, ____________? Is there something I should be aware of?"

________'s brow furrows as they try to speak of any relevant information. "I can't explain much, as it might mess this seemingly non-canon event up but... Blood can symbolize many things... It could be a metaphor for loyalty, sacrifice, or even something darker, like a hidden agenda. Just- proceed with caution."

Ciel nods, his expression serious. "Right. We cannot let our guard down."

As the demon servants from both sides clash, the dueling grounds become a battlefield of chaos and power. Demonic strength and supernatural abilities are put on full display, each servant fighting to gain the upper hand and secure victory for their respective masters.

Sebastian moves with fluid agility, dodging the onslaught of attacks effortlessly. He blocks, parries, and counters with precision, his movements a deadly dance of grace and power. His crimson eyes lock onto his opponents, assessing their weaknesses and finding the perfect opportunity to strike.

The Trancy demon servants, while numerous in number, prove to be no match for Sebastian's prowess. With each attack, he swiftly incapacitates them one by one, his blows expertly aimed to disarm and subdue. His attacks are swift and precise, each strike calculated to deliver maximum impact.

When the bell rings and the fighting comes to a temporary halt, Ciel takes a deep breath, the tension in his body slowly easing. He watches as ______________ approaches him, serving him tea with a graceful elegance. He takes the cup from them with a soft "thank you," his gaze lingering on her for a moment longer than necessary.

Alois, though so far on the short end of the stick, wears an amused expression as he sips his tea, seemingly unfazed by the outcome. Claude and Sebastian's playful banter and culinary show catch his attention, and he can't help but be impressed by their skills.

Ciel gazes out onto the arena, lost in thought. The sight of _________'s concern make the desire to protect them burn even more fiercely. He knows that __________ is not just a servant or guest to him, but something more, something he has yet to fully comprehend.

Soon the battle starts once again, this time with only the butlers in the arena now. To keep it fair, of course, because Hannah and the demon trio have already been thoroughly beaten. The maids standing by their masters as Sebastian and Claude, after taking the Lævateinn sword from Hannah. A sword said to be cursed, ancient sword, rumored to be "cloaked in eternal darkness." and a weapon able to harm and even kill a demon.

Ciel doesn't particularly find the fight interesting however, as it was agreed that none shall actually be killed in the fight. But that rule does not follow to Ciel and Alois. He knows that the Trancy nobles have information on his family's deaths, and the burning of the manor. And he intends to find out, even if it means killing Alois Trancy. So he devises a plan, asking for a "tour" of Alois's manor and leaving the area where their butlers are still engaged in a fight. __________ following in suit, staying close concern still etched onto their face...

"I must admit, the fighting was getting boring. Leaving those two to it was a good idea Ciel."

Alois comments, as they walk around the manor. Stopping by the library while the Earl Trancy goes on about how "great" his butler is or whatever. Along with some teasing compliments towards the ever irritated ______. The blonde obviously flirting with the servant to get a kick out of Ciel.

"For the love of whatever God you don't believe in, shut up..."

"How cold! It's so adorable that your distaste of me doesn't even make you the slightest bit respectful!"
