Black Butler X (Malleus) Reader

Chapter 35

-3rd POV-

The horses galloped at a fast speed. 

"I've been set up by him...Th-This wasn't meant to be..." Woodley muttered, "Th—"

"Shut it!" Someone pierced the male's head, "Ugh, it really riles me up! I was so looking forward to knocking that little brat down a peg." Charles Grey said, on top of the carriage.

"It is all because you acted without thought for the consequences." Charles Phipps said, dressed as the Yard.

"Enough of your lectures, Phipps. But I suuuure do wonder what her majesty's thinking!" He sat in the middle of him and John Brown, who was driving the carriage.

"Who can say? That is not for mere butlers like us to know. All is as her majesty the queen wishes it to be—"

"That will be all by way of instructions for today, but...I have one final announcement." Sebastian said, as all the servants stood around, "There will be a new servant joining us at the manor."

"Eh?!" Bard, Finny and Mey-Rin said, confused.

"Come in." He said, looking at the door that opened.

Snakes slithered in, which startled the rest, minus Joker.

"Yiiikes, snaaaaakes!" The chef ran.

"Wah!" The gardener stood still.

"Gyaaaah!" The maid ran.

The orange haired male laughed at their reactions.

"Do pipe down. They will not bite until he commands them to do so." The butler sighed.

"He?" Bard questioned, hiding behind the blond male.

Snake peeked in with his now butler suit on.

"Ah wah wah..." Mey-Rin said, shaking as snakes came up to her.

"Eeeeeek!" Bard shrieked.

"He's friendly." Finny smiled at the snake around his shoulders.

Joker nodded, "Super friendly." He smiled.

Sebastian walked to the shy male, hitting his back, "Stand up straight now! Introduce yourself in a loud and clear voice! Now that you are here, you must follow our below-stairs rules!"

"I-I'm Snake. W-We look forward to working with you. —Says Oscar." Snake said.

"Umm...You're...mister Oscar?" The blond questioned, confused.

The snake around the male's shoulders shook it's tail as if saying no and hissed, "No! This is Snake, and I'm Oscar!—Says Oscar." Snake said, pointing at himself then at the snake, then pointed at the other snakes, "The one next to you is Bronte. And Wordsworth is over there."

"Gyaaaah!" Bard crouched down, scared of the snakes.

"Nice to meet you!" Finny smiled.

Tanaka had a hat and flute, seeming to charm the snake.

Joker titled his head, 'Wonder where Emily is...' He thought, since he remembers some of the names of the male's snakes.

"And the one by—"  Snake was cut off.

"All right, that will do." Sebastian clapped to get their attention, "Let us leave introduction of those servants for another time. Else it will be night before we know it. In any case, he is the Phantomhive footman as of today. Do try to work together, you lot."

Nobody could tell but Snake's cowlick was shaking as if nervous.

Elizabeth smiled at Silver, "Mister Silver! You should come with us to the Campania! We'll surely see auntie (Y/n) and uncle Malleus there! It will be a surprise!"
