"Enter Ciel" Sebastian's voice was low and demanding. The human boy swallowed and turned the door handle slowly opening the door. He stepped in and looked at his Master before looking down. The boys master called him over and he did as he was told, as scared as he was. "These men want to speak to you." Ciel gulped and looked at the men.
"Yes masters?" He asked.
"There have been sightings of a being matching your height and weight sneaking around the town, stealing from the stalls."
"That's not me sirs" Ciel replies truthfully and honestly.
"There are eye witness accounts"
"I never ever go into town alone... it's only with my master or today with the gardener Finnian. Please my lords believe me" Ciel told them.
"I'm afraid this isn't enough proof. It's your word against the words of the townspeople." Sebastian looked over and just smirked.
"When has this taken place?"
"The first report was the sixth of December. The next was the 14th of December."
"It couldn't have been my servant I'm sorry. He spent the day here serving my family and whenever he wasn't by my side he was with either my siblings, their servants, one of them being an angel, or my others servant. I am quite happy for any of you to speak to an one I have mentioned?"
"You mentioned an angel" one man raised his eyebrow.
"Yes I did. His name is Daniel. He's a fallen guardian angel." This caused to two men to glance at each other before bowing to Sebastian.
"We apologise for taking up your time my Lord." With this they left and Ciel just looked confused.
"Ignore them Ciel. I knew it wasn't you. It was blatantly obvious."
"Why did they look so shocked when they heard about Daniel?"
"You see. There is rumour going around about guardian angels, that they physically cannot tell lies."
"But Daniel can lie can't he?"
"Yes Daniel can lie. The rumour isn't true. It's used by angels to scare demons and other creatures."
"It's clever isn't it" Ciel smiled.
"Yes it is quite" Sebastian agreed. "Now come along I have a meeting with someone in the next town along and they requested I bring you." Ciel looked confused.
"Me but why?"
"They want to meet you properly"
"Properly?"
"They have met you before but it was only a few weeks into your stay here" he couldn't really think up a better way to say it.
"Oh..." he cast his mind back. He couldn't really remember all the women who visited. "Was it when I was in the cellar?"
"No it wasn't. You were up here definitely. Please make sure to stay by my side at all times Ciel. I don't want you to be alone in a house like this."
"How come Master?"
"Because there are demons like Abdiel and Incubus serving in the house. They're dangerous to be around... not that you need me to warn you. I don't want to take you in all honesty but she suggested that I bring you."
"I'll be fine Master. Honestly."
"If anyone makes you feel uncomfortable or says or does anything nasty to you let me know so we can leave." Ciel nodded. "Go and get ready." The boy turned out of the room and went to go and get changed.Daniel and Amy were still kept separate the majority of the time due to the fact that they were in love and the curse affects lovers the most. They were allowed to be together for an hour every day but if any of them looked to be becoming even worse or suffering migraines they were instantly separated. This actually helped their mental state, being together. The two nobles were trying to figure out a way that Daniel would be able to cross the line between the under world and earth. "The next full moon is three weeks away so we have that time to try and figure out what we are going to do."
"We'll hopefully be back for dinner so prepare something" Sebastian told Bardroy.
"You can count on me!" He smiled. "Finny, Meyrin watch the house. Don't let anyone in unless it is my siblings or my father. Inform anyone else that they will have to come back another day as I am away." The two saluted.
"Yes my Lord!" The Master and his little servant made their way to the carriage. Ciel loved carriage rides. Behind relearning French it was one of his favourite past times. He enjoyed looking out of the window and seeing all of the creatures pass. He especially loved it due to the fact he had got a new blanket for his birthday and that was kept in the carriage in case he fell asleep. Sebastian was sat reading as he usually did and Ciel was trying to figure out something in French. He was muttering something under his breath which he didn't mean to do. It just happened. His Master didn't seem bothered at all by the little boy muttering. Sebastian hated muttering, it was a pet peeve of his but he knew very well that Ciel wasn't saying anything bad under his breath as the boy just wouldn't. He knew of his masters hatred for muttering so either would say his thought out-loud or just not say anything at all.
