The girl had a bodyguard standing next to her. He was quite handsome, but not as handsome as bocchan.
The queen was facing the window when we came in.
She turned around and we saw her true face. She was really pretty, but she looked like someone I knew. I recognized her face as soon as she turned.
Her face was nearly identical to the girl beside bocchan!
It clicked in my head. The 'competitor' bocchan is against, is the royal princess? Well, it all made sense now. And its not going to matter, what I do or who I vote for, since the queen's favorite will surely be her daughter!
Or.....not........
Her majesty turned around and scolded the 'princess'," Sophia!!! You are a disgrace to our family!!! Why do you want to kick a ball around like a mad fellow sweating??? You are a girl, Sophia, you are the heir to the throne!! You are nearly 18 now, you cannot play such games anymore do you understand???" "Yes mom......" The' princess ' stomped out of the study noisily.
No.... It can't be true..........




Bocchan's competitor is not the girl next to him at all!!! No!!! It can't be!!!

Bocchan looked relived. Haiz..... I bet he wanted to win this, and when he heard his competitor is not the Royal princess, he was relived. Haiz........

Footsteps were to be heard coming in the hallway. It was probably the girl bocchan is competing against.

She came right in without knocking. Just like someone I know well. She had two long blonde locks, just like someone I know well. Her eyes,emerald green like someone I know very well. Her dress filled with ruffles, laces, and other cute things. Hair accessories with a hairband and flowers. Just like that one person I know very well. This is even worse.

Yes. Her name, is Elizabeth Ethel Cordelia Midford, AKA LIZZIE!!!!

No. This is bad. Lizzie will let bocchan have anything he wants. Lizzie is engaged to bocchan!!!! This is bad. Bocchan will surely be the queen's now. This is bad. I need to prevent bocchan from being the queen's favorite. If he becomes the queen's favorite, he may very likely forget me completely😖😖!!!! This is bad!!

"Queen(aka aunt), your long lost niece has returned!"
"Ah, dear Lizzie. You came back from Taiwan?"
"Yes, aunt."
The queen made a point to introduce Lizzie to Ciel.
"Ciel, this is my long lost niece-"
Bocchan interrupted the queen. "Your majesty, I know her. In fact, I know her very well."
Bocchan looked at Lizzie with a smug face. Lizzie took a while( in fact, too long for me ) to recognize bocchan 's face.
"Ciel!!!!I didn't know you'd be here!!!"

"Oh? Seems like you two know each other"

I told the queen."well, your majesty, they are engaged to each other."

"My, my! The world sure is small!"
Short laugh.

"Aunt, is he my competitor?"

"Don't call me aunt, Lizzie. And yes, he is."

Shit. It's over. It's all over.
"Your job, both of you, need to solve this serial murder case. Listen, I give you two weeks to finish this job off, I think for Ciel one week is more than enough, with Sebastian at his side. Where else, Lizzie, you need to work harder."
Bocchan's eyes lit up. Well, it can't be helped. With his brains and my strength, taking down murderers is easy. But, sorry to say. This time I won't be helping you, bocchan. You're on your own now. I don't want to help you and suffer myself.

We walked out of the queen's study after saying our thanks. Lizzie ran up to bocchan. "Ciel!!! I'll let you win, so please win this contest!! I want you to be the queen's favorite, I don't want me to be. I gladly let you win, Ciel, so take the opportunity!"
I overheard this. And my heart dropped.
