"Riding in the Hansom cab always makes me sore." Your brother complained as you shivered. "It's mighty chilly. I'm afraid I'll catch a cold." You said as Sebastian chuckled and closed the umbrella.
"I'll prepare some hot tea right this instant." He said before he suddenly tensed up. "Is something the matter, Sebastian?" Your brother asked as the man slowly opened the door of the townhouse.
The sight of blood immediately made your heart start to race. "Wait... We were only gone for a few hours, what happened?" Your voice trembled as you quickly shoved Sebastian aside and ran along the trail of blood.
"There's so much blood... What in the blazes happened here?" You heard your brother say as he and Sebastian were still surveying the entrance.
You kept following the trail as it seemed to drag along a few rooms until you stopped at the front of a hallway. "... Agni...is that-" you choked out as you saw the back of the man impaled with multiple knifes and just bleeding out profusely, he was standing and it gave you the hope that he was alive and just barely clinging on.
"Agni... Agni!!" You cried out as you ran to the man and tried shaking him, you opened up the collar of his clothes and pressed your hand on his bare chest to look for a heartbeat but his whole body was still.
You then pressed your ear against his chest and all you could hear was just your own heartbeat and blood rushing through your ears.
No heartbeat. No breathing. No sounds coming from him. No Agni. No... No. No! NO! "AGNI!!!" You screamed and backed up to a wall as your knees felt weak.
You heard two footsteps run to where you were as Sebastian and Ciel saw that you were an absolute mess. Your hair was starting to become messy and tears were falling down your face quickly and even some of his blood was on your hands that eventually smeared on your face.
Sebastian only tried opening the door that Agni used a firm grip to keep closed and eventually had to break it open. "Well, well." He said in amusement as Soma was inside the room bawling his eyes out and hiccuping.
"Your masters safety and happiness are indeed your top priority. Mr. Agni, you truly are indeed, an exemplar butler."
Your brother went over to you and placed your head on his shoulder as he rubbed your back. "I know, I know... I'm sorry, N/n. I really am." He whispered as he pulled your head back and wiped your face as you hiccuped.
"I- he's- dead! Brother, Agni is dead!!" you cried out as he hushed you. "You look so pretty, you always look so pretty. But it hurts to see you crying like this. Here, blow your nose." He ordered and gave you a handkerchief as he went to peek inside the room Agni was protecting.
"You're still alive?!" He gasped as you assumed Soma was still inside. "Soma! Are you hur-" you exclaimed as you also looked inside the room to see the boy looking at your brother in horror.
He let out a cry before jumping out the room and punching your brother square in the face before suddenly grabbing you in a protective manner and drawing you away from your brother. But Sebastian swiftly knocked the prince out, causing him to fall against you and you to fall against you brother who eventually fell as well.
You both lay panting and looking at the boy in shock as Sebastian seemed almost bored. "It appears that master Soma is in a terribly confused state. Though it is quite understandable given the situation." He said as your brother grit his teeth.
"This is why I told you... Not to... Get involved with us!" He seethed as you looked down at the passed out boy in pity. After a minute you took a deep shaky breath and stood yourself up.
"Search the house. I want to know the objective of this attack. Something unnatural must be behind this. Agni could probably take ten muscular men easily." You ordered as you pulled out your gun.
"Yes, master." Sebastian responded as your brother also pulled out his gun and you three began searching the mansion.

"Nothing seems to be damaged, the only thing left is your room and the young masters." Sebastian informed as you three entered your brothers room, first. And on the wall, engraved with a knife, it read 'WHO STOLE THE CANDY FROM MY TUMMY?' "Who stole the candy from my tummy?... It asks." Sebastian read out, unbothered.
"We should probably assume that this is a message left from the perpetrators, but these words seem to have very little relation to Bravat." He said calmly and looked back at the two of you to see you both sharing a look of horror.
"...No..." "...it can't be..." "Young master, my lord?" Sebastian called you both to see you two visibly flinch.
"It... It appears the perpetrators have already fled the building, I suggest we check the mistress' room." He suggests as you both nodded. After your door freaked open Sebastian was the first one to enter and there was also something engraved on the wall. 'MY SWEET ♡' It read with an ugly heart as your stomach sank.
"It seems they're partially targeting you, my lord." Sebastian informed as you nodded hesitantly. "I can see that..." You remarked as your voice shook in fear, but your brother then quickly cleared his throat.
"Let us first focus on bringing the wounded over to Sullivan." He ordered as you both quietly walked out and down the stairs. Sebastian only looked at you two suspiciously, you knew something and were keeping it from him.
The man picked up Soma who was still passed out as his body relaxed and so was his hand when something fell out. "Hmm? He dropped something..." Ciel pointed out as you crouched to pick it up and inspected it. Your eyes widened at the sight as you passed it to your brother who also inspected it and started shaking again.
"Sebas... Tian..." Your brother called out as the man turned to you both with a raised brow. "Yes, what is it?" He asked as you looked up at him and he could see your eye was dull. Very quietly, matching the quietness of the house, you asked. "You... You're not lying to us, are you...?"
He seemed to pause for a moment before sighing in a disappointed manner. "No, unfortunately, I am not. I do not tell lies."

"WHO DARES TO KNOCK DURING A STORM LIKE THIS?!" Wolfram shouted as he swung open the door but immediately calmed down at the sight of you and the two boys behind you. "It's you all...!" He gasped as Sebastian handed Soma to the man.
"Please heal this boy if you would." He requested as Wolfram looked over Soma, you noticed he and Agni had on the bracelets you gifted.
It made your chest ache. "What happened?! These wounds look awful!!" He exclaimed. "Wolf? What's all the fuss..." Sullivan asked but trailed off as you called her name. "Sullivan. Until further notice, do not open the door for anyone, under no circumstances. Even for us." You ordered as she ran down the steps as fast as she could using her machine legs.
"What? Are you gonna come back to play-?" She asked as you placed a hand on your head. "We'll be gone. I don't know for how long, but please. Don't open the door." You begged as you turned to Wolfram.
"Take care of yourself and Sullivan, please Wolfram." You pleaded as he nodded his head. "Very well." You said and turned on your heel to lock arms with your brother and walk off.
"Will you be returning home to the main estate?" Sebastian asked as you both replied simultaneously. "Yes. There is something we need to confirm." He seemed to stay quiet for a moment before Ciel spoke up again. "Let's hurry on, Sebastian." "Yes, my lord."
