Guardians of Sapphire

Precious Sapphire

Ciel sat comfortably in his office chair sipping his warm tea. The tea in his cup had moved gracefully along with the cups movements, his attention moved from his cup to his office doors as his office doors opened revealing a tall familiar figure dressed in black. The stranger revealed was indeed Sebastian Michaelis holding a silver tray with an envelope that was held together with a red stamp.

Ciel put his white and blue teacup down on a matching cup saucer before grabbing the message that rested stilled on the silver tray. Ciel looked down at the envelope and studied the marking on the Stamp.
"It's a message from her Majesty" said Ciel opening the envelope to pull out and place the now opened letter on the envelope.

Dear Ciel Phantomhive,
I understand that you may feel distressed about receiving another letter so soon. However the task I'm about to give you will be very complicated, because this job is of great importance you need to come see me personally so you can receive your task, please hurry this job will prove once and for all if you are worthy of the Phantomhive name.

Queen Elizabeth II

" I don't understand why you're so surprised to receive a letter so soon my Lord the queen might be concerned about the previous missing children's case" said Sebastian putting his silver tray under his arm.

"Oh shut up, this has nothing to do with the case of the missing children, after all there was no way to solve that case anyway. You know that well enough that is why I let the damn place burn" Ciel said throwing the letter at Sebastian who effortlessly caught it in between two fingers.

"It seems as though her Majesty wants to keep this case a secret, that is probably why she wants us to go see her, after all it says the job is of great importance" Sebastian said as he put the letter down.
"Whatever go get my cane and hat we're going to see the queen!" Ciel snapped as he stood up from his desk.

"Your majesty, you requested I come see you" Ciel rephrased.
"Yes the task that I have for you will certainly be complex even for you, I'm not quite sure you can even handle it" she said sitting wisely in her throne.
"Well what is this task you spoke so concerned about" Ciel asked impatiently.

"If you must know, assassins have been spotted in the kingdom and they have tried killing me several times, of course it is by now too late to protect myself but it's not yet too late to protect my daughter therefore her identity is well unknown, so I ask of you to take her away from here and protect her with your life for she is a precious treasure to me" Said the queen.

Ciel hesitated, he couldn't say no. Refusal in this case would ruin his reputation.
"Yes,Yes! I can do it" Ciel Said actually quite unsure if he could. Sebastian, glancing at his master could sense the uncertainty in his voice. But instead of making a scene he stood and listened to their conversation.

"Guards please go and get Sapphire" she said. The guards bowed and walked down a long hallway before soon returning with a young girl eighteen years old, with long hair at the length of her hips, comforting a golden crown of different jewels. The one called Sapphire looked at Sebastian and Ciel with her bright blue eyes than looked back at her mother who she now stood beside "Ciel this is my daughter Sapphire, Sapphire this is my guard dog Ciel Phantomhive" she said.
"It is a pleasure to meet you lord Phantomhive" she said. Ciel bowed to her "Yes hello your highness" he said bowing to her. Meanwhile Sebastian grabbed her right hand and kissed her silky gloved knuckles while Sapphire did a curtesy.

Ciel and Sebastian watched as the queen took of Sapphire's crown and placed it aside before replacing it with a hair clip of several flowers and feathers.And hanging from that were dark blue droplets held together with silver cylinders. The queen than pulled out a turquoise cloak and put it on her.
"Pleased be warned, my daughter is willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy her curiosity" said the queen turning to face Ciel.
"Not a problem I won't let her out of sight" Ciel said.
