Mademoiselle Renard, His Butler's Secret?

His Butler, Encounters

Unknown's POV

I looked down at the city from the top of the cathedral. I could see everything from here. There were people busy bustling around in the rainy streets and a few blocks down a butcher was fighting with a customer out behind his shop. There was a couple walking hand in hand just below the building I was on, a family hurrying off to Sunday morning church, and a small boy looking with wonder into store shop windows, fingers playing with the small bit of change in his pocket. I look up at the far away building that houses the queen of England and see a black flag with a red fox on it flying just below the union jack.

I let out a little chuckle and back off the ledge onto the roof. I turn in a circle and slide down the stairs. I jump off the railing and walk out of the cathedral, pulling my leather jacket back onto my shoulders and walking towards the palace. This should be good if she wants to see me...

Sebastian's POV

"My lord, it is time to get up." I say, pulling back the curtains to let in some light. Ciel stirs on the bed and I wait until he sits up to pour him a cup of tea. "A letter has come for you, young master. It has her seal on it."

"The queen? Already?" he asks, stretching before reaching out for the cup. "She normally doesn't have so many jobs for us in so short an amount of time."

"Would you like me to read it to you, or do you want to read it yourself while I dress you for the day?" I ask, returning from his closet with a blue suit over my right forearm.

"I will read it, just dress me and go ready the carriage. No doubt a trip into the city is required."

"Yes, my lord." I nod, dressing him and going to prepare the horse and carriage for when Ciel wishes to leave. Just as I turn to go back inside I glance at the rose garden off to the right of the manor and sweatdrop. "Finnian!!"

"Y-yes, Sebastian?" he stutters, obviously scared of me. Good, he should be.

"What happened to the rose garden?"

"I thought if I used extra-strength weed killer I could get all those damn dandelions that have been attacking them, but I forgot how fragile sterling silver roses can be. Im so sorry, Sebastian."

I sigh and internally slap the gardener, but I smile and turn to face his shaking frame. "That is alright. What's done is done. When the young master and I return I will take care of it. Just try not to make a bigger mess of things, will you?"

"Y-yes, Sebastian!" he says before dashing off like a rabbit. I sigh and continue on to the house.

The minute I walk through the door I hear a loud thundering crash. I dash toward the sound to find Mei-rin laying flat on her back underneath the china cabinet. I shake my head and see that the only thing wrong with her is her broken glasses. The china in the hutch though, is a different story. Everything is smashed, ruined, gone.

"What happened here?" I asks, getting annoyed with Ciel's servants.

"I tried to reach the top of the hutch to dust and it fell on me, yes it did!" she yells in my ear, slightly causing the thing to ring.

"I will take care of this when the young master and I return. Until then, clean up the glass and then do try not to break anything else." I order her, seeing her face turn a shade of red that makes a tomato look colorless.

"Y-yes, Mr. Sebastian." she nods and scampers off.

I continue on to the kitchen to clean Ciel's teacup and saucer, only to find the whole room charred by apparently a flame thrower. There's a huge glob of what looks to have previously been marshmallow on the island and I sigh, getting very agitated with the help of this house.

"Bardroy! Flamethrower, now!" I demand at the top of my lungs, vein popping out in my forehead as my calm composure disappears momentarily.

"Why?" he asks, walking in with the cause of the charred kitchen.

"Because," I say, taking it from his hands and carrying it outside, Bard following close behind me, "I keep finding different rooms charred by the thing and it is tedious to have to replace things all the time. So its going to be put away while the young master and I are gone. And if I come back to find even one thing in this manor burnt, broken, or killed by insecticides, I will make sure to thoroughly punish the three of you."

"Fine. But what about Tanaka?" he asks, chewing on his unlit cigarette.

"He has not caused any damage to the manor, so I see no need to reprimand him. Or even talk to him at all. He is the most responsible of you four! You should all learn a bit from him while we are out, it may prove helpful." I say, locking the flamethrower in the shed before returning to the manor and retrieving Ciel.

I help him into the carriage and hop up front. I flick my wrist slightly and the reigns snap a bit, causing the four horses to begin to move. I settle in for a long ride and think about all I have to repair when we return. I swear I will end up killing those three incompetent servant before this contract is fulfilled.

*Two Hours Later*

"My lord, we have arrived." I say, opening the door and helping out the boy. He grips the top of his walking cane, that he really has no physical need for, and we begin the short walk from the drive to the drawing room of the palace.

"My Lord Phantomhive! Thank you for coming my dear!" the queen smiles, embracing the boy before they sit in chairs angle toward one another, sipping tea prepared by one of the queen's servants. "Good too see you too, Sebastian."

"Your majesty." I bow with my right arm tucked in front of my abdomen instead of my heart, as I bow to Ciel.

"I bet you are wondering why I summoned you here, Ciel." she smiles before a serious expression settles on her face.

"I was actually a bit curious, your majesty." he admits, setting down his teacup and saucer on the platter. He turns to face the monarch and his one blue eye watches her, his purple one, containing the contract I placed on it, hidden beneath his usual black eye patch.

"I need your help. My diamond, sapphire, and emerald necklace is missing. I believe it has been stolen, and I need you to get it back. I was asked to wear it at an upcoming ball and I am nothing if I am not a woman of my word. Please find the necklace and return it to me. For a price, of course."

"Yes, your majesty. I think tracking down a missing necklace wont be that hard. I accept."

"I am not finished, young Ciel. Do not accept just yet." the queen instructs and I cock an eyebrow, what else could there possibly be? "I have asked an old friend to assist you. She is the best in the business when it comes to retrieving lost belongings. Some call her a thief, others a retriever. And there are some who call her a crook. But I call her a friend. I would like you to meet Mademoiselle Renard, otherwise and better known as The Fox."

The doors at the end of the room open and in walks a woman wearing a tight black dress, that barely covers her butt, and thigh high boots with at least a four inch heel. Over the dress she wears a black leather jacket that looks kind of like a trench coat and kind of like a duster. The outside is all black and the inside is lined with red satin.

"You."
