New maid (Black Butler Fanfiction)

Chapter five

Flashback
I was lying on a bed next to my master. I felt dirty. I could still feel his greedy touch all over me. It was disgusting. But it had to be done. Now I had all information I needed. It was so easy. He won't even remember it. That's how intoxicated he is. Unfortunetaly, I will remember. I can't forget it. I wish I could. But it will never happen again. Ciel Phantomhive. Please don't ruin my plan.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Sebastian's p.o.v.
I opened a window and jumped. Carrying my young master, I kept us hidden in dark alleys and shadows. It would not be safe to leave formally. He could send her after us and I would have to fight her again. I hope she will buy us some time. I am still not sure of her abillities or if I should trust her. But there was something about her. She seemed desperate. Then again, she is a demon. It could be delusion. Trust me, I know. In the end, I am one myself.
I carefully released young master on ground.

"Young master, are you hurt?"

"I don't think so. I don't feel any pain." I nodded and started silently preparing carriage. Fortunately, we took off without any one noticing.
My master was quiet the whole time we were on road. He stayed silent even after we arrived at manor. He went straight to his study and I followed him. I couldn't bare the silence anymore so I spoke as he was about to sit down behind his desk.

"Young master, are you sure we can trust her?"

"Not really, but she could come in handy with being a demon and all."

"If I may say, I believe I can handle my job perfectly." I said a bit offended.

"But you must be thinking the same, since you weren't fighting her when you got to me. Or is there other reason you didn't try to fight her?" I kept silent not wanting to admit that she almost overpowered me. I was still shocked by it.

"And besides, until now, we haven't even considered an option, that our opponent could have a demon on their side." Again, my master was right. It would make things easier.

"Yes, my lord."

"So it is decided then. For the time being, we will trust what she says. In the end, she is bounded by the blood oath." I frowned at the thought. I didn't like it. Blood oath assures that both sides complete their promises. If not, death awaits them. It also means that after we kill sir Ardley, she will be controllable. But going to such lenghts... there must be something else she gets from this. There would be easier way to free her from contract, right? But there was something about her, even though she is a demon, the vibe she gave off.... it felt almost human-like. She was filled with determination in her plan. Like there was no other way to do it. And the sudden rush of strenght. There is definetely something different about her. As I had this little inside argument, my master already let it go.

"With that aside, I shall retire for tonight. Sebastian?" I snapped out of my thoughts and bowed to him.

"Yes, my lord."

Ciel's p.o.v.
As I was sipping afternoon tea that Sebastian brought me, I was trying to think of how should we do it. We didn't agree to a concrete time so we have to find a way to contact her.
My thoughts came to an abrupt end when Mey Rin entered the room in such hurry, she almost knocked the door over.

"Y-young master! You recieved a letter, yes you did!" She handed the letter to me. It came from sir Ardely's house. What could he want?
I opened the letter.

Dear Ciel Phantomhive,
I assume that while you are reading this letter, we already made the contract and you agreed to free me. If not, then you will not need this letter and you can dispose of it. Everyday, my master goes to his study after dinner that is sharp at six  o'clock. Except two days after ball (he will have guests staying over) and in weekends. Those days are exceptions. He dines at seven o'clock and goes to bed early. At least I think so. I have never seen his bedroom. But I don't know his schedule for next week. It hasn't been decided yet. While he is in his study, he is vulnerable, the walls are extra thick, and the room is far from all other ones that are used. So any noise coming from there shouldn't be heard by servants. Unless they are cleaning in that area, so be careful. For me, I will be forced to stay in basement. That will give you time to end him quickly.
                                 Yours sincerely
                                       Adele Lilith

I crunched the paper in my hand.

"She planned this from the beginning, didn't she?" I told Sebastian contents of the list. He looked at his pocket watch.

"It is already five o'clock. If we want to act, we should hurry. I await your orders, my master." I thought for a minute. Even though I want to be there when he dies, it could have unpleasant consenquences. Someone could see us and I would have no alibi. I took of my eyepatch.

"Sebastian, this is an order. You will kill sir Benedict Blaike Ardley quickly and quietly. After that, you will make sure Adele has a safe trip to our manor. No one except Adele shall see you." Sebastian tilted his head.

"You are not coming with me, my lord?"

"No, I need this to be as quiet as possible and besides, I am not a demon, so someone could actually notice and recognize me."

"Very well, young master. I shall leave right away." The demon bowed and exited the room. I returned to paperworks feeling a bit angry, that I can't kill him myself.
