Midway through devouring a wonderful lunch of pheasant breasts with pomegranate glaze, Sebastian suddenly swings open the door to the room, clearly in a big hurry. When our attention is brought to him, he speaks.

"Pardon my intrusion, young master, but it appears we have an unexpected guest." The next thing we know, some chick is screaming,

"CIELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!" The sound gets louder the closer they get. That high-pitched voice is unmistakable.

'Oh, shit! It's Lizzy!' Elizabeth soon races through the doorway all the way to Ciel. She then proceeds to pounce on the young Earl, nearly knocking him out of his chair. She clings to the boy tightly while giggling. I have to admit, the sight is both adorable and hilarious. I cover my mouth to block my laughter as Ciel scolds the young lady.

"Elizabeth, I have a guest!" He shouts in order to grab the girl's attention. His face is completely red in embarrassment and slight anger. Lizzy pulls away from the boy with a pout on her lips, her blonde curls bouncing whenever she moves.

"Ciel, how many times do I have to tell you?! Call me Lizzy!" Seeing as she had yet to comprehend that her betrothed is a little busy as the moment, I cough falsely into my fist. The sound causes them to turn their gaze towards me.

"Sorry to interrupt, but we are a little busy at the moment," I say politely with a smile on my lips. Elizabeth's eyes widen in realization, and her cheeks turn a light pink in embarrassment.

"Oh! I'm so sorry! I had no idea!" She apologizes profusely as she completely releases Ciel from her grasp. She stands as a proper lady should, which was an interesting change in behavior. I chuckle and wave her off.

"Oh, don't worry about it. It doesn't bother me any." Lizzy appears relieved by this, and the bright smile returns to her face. Ciel clears his throat in order to regain composure as Sebastian comes to his side to fix his clothes, which had shifted when Elizabeth squeezed the living daylights out of him.

"Miss Y/N, this is E—" The Earl is cut off by me as I get out of my seat to surprise the girl with a friendly hug.

"Elizabeth Midford, it's so lovely to meet you! Although, I suppose you like to be called Lizzy, right?" The child blinks rapidly a few times to comprehend what I've done. I should've guessed that most people wouldn't act this way towards nobility even if they are just children. I just couldn't help myself, though. She's just so freaking cute!

"I'm sorry, but have we met before?" She asks, confused, while she tilts her head. I can practically see the gears in her head turning, trying to figure out if we've been in each other's presence before. I giggle at this and pull away.

"Nope, I just happen to know who you are. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable."

"Oh, no, that's all right! I was just a little confused, that's all," she says with a smile returning to her face. "And, it's nice to meet you as well, Y/N."

"Lady Elizabeth?" The young lady hums and turns her head towards the butler in black, that now stands by her side with a fake, friendly smile on his face. Of course, it fools her.

"Perhaps you'd like to wait in the garden until their business is done?"

"Oh, right." She nods her head at the tall male. "That sounds lovely!" With a nod of his head, Sebastian escorts Elizabeth out of the room and closes the door behind them. I then turn to Ciel while taking my seat again.
