The sleeping ash. Black Butler various x reader

At noon: The Butler, Eccentric

*3rd pov*

"This is–" Sebastian stares at the reflection of Charles Grey. "!" Charles Grey strikes on the back of Sebastian's head then stabs him from the back. "Gah!"

"By the Queen's butler– Earl Charles Grey–"

Sebastian lays "dead."

"I was so hoping to bully that bloody brat some more. I never thought I'd get found out so quickly. And all because a lousy servant got in my way..." Charles Grey picks up the glass shards. "...Why, my plan's totally ruined!!" He throws the shards out the window. "Moreover, Siemens is down below!? Having to go to the cellar alone... could it get any worse!?" Charles Grey leaves the room.

"He attacked me in rapid succession, quick as a flash. One could expect no less from the butler to the Queen." Sebastian gets up.

"I then proceeded to beat Earl Grey to the wine cellar... ...Where Lord Siemens had been carried."

Sebastian opens the door and walks in to see Lord Siemens asleep while holding a bottle of wine. "Dear me. He even got the wine that was set aside to age... He truly is a hopeless man." Sebastian hears the footsteps and climbs the ceiling. Charles Grey walks in and looks at Lord Siemens. "Nnoh? Ohh! Earl Grey! Our little prank seems to have gone well! Was everyone quite shocked? Upon my waking, I discovered some wine just here, and... ...was getting a bit of the hair of the dog in me, you see–" Lord Siemens gets cut off.

"Eh...?" Lord Siemens looks down to realize that Charles Grey stabbed him with his sword. "Quiet, you! Don't talk so loud. The very sight of you is frightfully offensive. Dim-witted Germany will catch up to Great Britain, you say? It's ten years too soon for that." Charles Grey pulls out his sword as Lord Siemens dies this time. "Well... it really will take only ten years, though." Charles Grey covers Lord Siemens and leaves the wine cellar as Sebastian lands.

>>>>>Present>>>>>

"N-No!!" Arthur stood up fast which he spilled his tea. "So you're saying you even knew the identity of the culprit!? And despite that, you still chose to throw away your own life!? Just because your master commanded you to do so...!?" Arthur is disbelief. "Yes. I do not lie. After all, my master works his people...no, his butler, so hard, he nigh on deserves a royal warrant for it." Sebastian said.

<<<<<Rewind<<<<<

"I then took care of preparations for three days"

Sebastian in the kitchen making the preparations while being bloody.

"...Gave the chef, gardener, guard dog, and footmen their orders for the next day..."

Sebastian telling Bard, Finny, Pluto, Joker, and Dagger what they need to do.

"...Entrusted the maid with the owl that I had caught in the woods the day before and kept on reserve in case of an emergency..."

Sebastian hands the caged owl to Mey-Rin.

"...And penned a report to young master on the of my fireplace examination–"

Sebastian writes  a letter and places it in the pillow case then heads to the door. 'Is my appearance perhaps a little too unsightly to be presenting myself before a guest, (Y/n), and my master, I wonder?' Sebastian blows out the candles and places the pillow to his chest.

"You're late, Sebastian.  Hurry up and hand over my pillow." Ciel extends his hand. "I suppose you could say this is young master's security blanket at present?" Sebastian teases as he takes (Y/n). "Not hardly! I just happen to like this pillow!" Ciel takes the pillow and lays down as he feels the paper. "Get back to your quarters at once! I'm going to sleep!"
