Chapter Four: Back at the Manor

    It's about lunch time right now, Sebastian returned with more information. Sebastian narrowed down the true identity of the kidnapper; the perpetrator's real name is Lynel Sids. We just need to find out where he resides now and where he's keeping his victims.            Sebastian is currently is making Uncle Diedrich and me some lunch. Agni is helping Sebastian in the kitchen and Prince Soma is looking at fathers photo album.

   "Good afternoon master, Baron Diedrich, Prince Soma; today we are having poached salmon with a butter lemon sauce, Ceylon tea, and a Earl Grey sponge cake," Sebastian says as Agni sets our food down in front of us.

   As we are eating; we started to discuss how to catch Sids.

   "Jean Esthern and Lucinda Dester has recently been married so I assume Lucinda will be the next target. We'll bring Tanaka along to identify the man," I say after wiping my mouth with the napkin that had been set on my lap. 

   "The Esthern Estate isn't to far from here, so it'll be pretty easy to watch over; Sebastian, retrieve Tanaka and be back before tonight I want a stakeout," I order as Sebastian follows with his typical response.

   "Yes, my lord," Sebastian vows with his hand where his heart should be.

   As always for the past few days, during my down time I read my fathers journal.

June 5th, 1865
I was able to return home with mother, Francis, and Y/n today. Y/n fell asleep on me most of the way there. Mother took the time to talk more about the roll of being the Queen's Watchdog. I sincerely hope I do not have to take up the roll of the watchdog soon, it would mean something happened to mother. Y/n's angelically peaceful face looked nothing you'd expect to be a future wife of a man whose family deals with the underworld. But I guess that's what makes her perfect for the role and perfect for me. I wouldn't have it any other way. This summer is going to be quite eventful, Y/n, my family, and I are going to America. Y/n will be visiting some family that resides there while mother has some business to attend to. Y/n's family will come over to the estate the day we board the boat. So she will be staying at the estate till we leave. We're going to take a cruise liner to New York then a train to California. Most of Y/n's relatives live in San Francisco and that just so happens to be where mothers next case is. Y/n says she has loads to show me when we get there.

   I looked over at Y/n who was twiddling her ring around her finger while thinking of something new to draw on her sketch pad. We were at our place again, on the hill, leaning against the willow tree; overlooking the brook. I took new pictures of her with her ring; she doesn't know it, but I did. Her face held a gentle smile on her face as she figured out what to draw. I snapped a picture as quickly as I could. Y/n's head shot up at the sound of the shutter.

   "Vincent Phantomhive, at least tell me when you're going to take pictures of me now; Franny tells me you've wasted so much film trying to sneak pictures of me," Y/n scolds.

   "At least let me prepare myself before you do." She continues.

   "But love, you look so beautiful just the way you are," I smile as her face starts to show a red hue.

  "That's very sweet of you Vince but shut up please," She utters out as she tries to hide her face with her sketch pad. I take this opportunity to hover above her.

   "Oh but why my sweet N/n, I just love to complement your ever present beauty; such a treasure should be recognized every moment possible," I tease as I remove her sketch pad from her face and set it down next to us. She sent me an adorable glare.
