Black Maid

His Maid, Merrymaking: 2/ Training: 1

Later that night after the incident with the so called 'demon hound', you decided to explore the town more to get a look for what it really is.

The next morning after, you returned to the manor, but stopped at the sight of the three servants, sulking by the side of the house.

"This has gotta be the worst holiday ever." Bard complained with his head down.

"The worst, yes it is." Mey-Rin agreed.

Upon seeing them, you groaned and went to turn away.

'Not so fast. Isabella, you must perform as expected. Don't disappoint me.'

You managed to reduce an eye roll as you turned back around, a fake smile going on your face.

"What's the matter?" You asked as you walked up to them, catching a glimpse of something hiding behind the wall as you did. "You were so excited on the way here."

"Yeah, well, that was before..." Bard said.

"Don't look so gloomy." You said with a smile, before leaning over and picking up a picnic basket and swimsuit. "We're on a holiday, it's a time meant for relaxing."

Huge smiles broke out on their faces as they perked up.

. . .

"Yeeeaaahhh!!"

"Aahh hahaha!"

Bard and Finny cheered as they ran and jumped into the pond.

You smiled at them as you stood beside Ciel who sat on a chair, reading a book while Sebastian poured his tea.

"Don't you care to bathe with them, young master?" Sebastian asked, but Ciel only turned the page. "Oh, I see. Is that the problem? The master can't—"

"I don't see why they're making such a fuss about this little pond. Just because you can bathe doesn't make it a resort." Ciel interrupted.

"You still intend to make this place into a resort then?" Sebastian asked.

"Naturally." He replied.

"But what about this great demon hound?" You questioned in slight amusement at the notion.

Ciel slightly laughed. "Surely you know as well as I by now. This demon hound is no dog."

You smiled.

"Shall we discuss it further?" He asked while looking up at you from his book.

"Only if you wish to, sir." You replied.

He gestured for you both to come closer and you and Sebastian moved on either side of him. He leaned in and whispered his orders in both of your ears. "Now go."

You both smiled. "Yes, very well, master." You said as you stood up.

"You may consider it done." Sebastian said before you both started walking away, but stopped when Ciel spoke.

"You're very cooperative, Sebastian. Especially for someone who hates dogs."

Sebastian looked back at him. "Yes, I detest them. That's why I'd like to finish this as quickly as possible." He said before you both started to walk again.

"Yes, preferably, before it all goes to hell." You added.

. . .

After you and Sebastian had finished finding evidence for Ciel's theory, you both were heading back to the pond, but stopped at the sight of a gathering crowd.

You both looked at each other and followed after. Your eyes went wide at the sight of Ciel chained to the wall and the servants bound to a pillar.

"You're so pathetic. You rely on lowly tricks to retain your meager power. If there's a stubborn dog here, I'd say I'm looking at him." Ciel spat at Lord Henry.
