That Butler, Meeting the Creed

The Frye twins stood against the bridge as the Queen get out of her carriage with the help of her butlers dressed in white: the Earls Charles Grey and Charles Phipps, also known as the "double Charles".

"Approach" Beckoned the queen.

The twins took a step forward toward her majesty.

"You have honored us with your loyalty and courage. Long may we strengthen the Empire together!"

"Your Majesty" Began Jacob "We will always work to ensure the safety of the people..."

"But with the greatest respect, our philosophy forbid us from assisting further with the expansion of the Empire" Continued Evie "Perhaps, ma'am, you could consider putting an end to your imperialist desire?"

Jacob scoffed at her sister's demand, then immediately looked at her as if she made the biggest mistake ever. But the Queen didn't seem affected at all.

"I understand and respect your position, bound as you are by your Creed. If my husband was still there, I'm sure he would have respected your decision as well"

She then suddenly fell to her knees and started crying.

"ALBEEEEEEEEERT!!! IF ONLY YOU WHERE THERE BESIDE ME!!!"

The two assassin were quite shocked at her reaction, having never seen her react like this before, while Charles Phipps did his best to appease his mistress.

"Please your majesty calm down" He pleaded, holding a small puppet of her late husband in his hand (needless to say that it was a handmade puppet designed by him).

After several minute, Victoria finally calmed down and retook her composure.

"As I was saying: as I respect your choice. May you, however, indulge me one more time by giving me one last favor?"

"Of course your Majesty" Answered Evie

"What is it?" Asked Jacob.

"You certainly have heard of "Jack the Ripper" haven't you?"

"Of course I have! This bastard is killing my Rooks!" Angrily exclaimed Jacob.

"Jacob! Manners!" Scolded Evie, elbowing her brother. "Yes, we heard of him, why do you ask?"

"I do not like the actions of this person. And I have the safety of my people at heart" Explained Queen Victoria "Knowing that their actions are affecting you as well, I would like you two to work on this case with my Guard Dog"

"Your dog...?" Jacob said, confused.

"The queen's Guard Dog is a special and secret executive body unknown to the public. He acts under her majesty orders while remaining in the shadow"

"Oh..."

"We would be honored to assist your Guard Dog your Majesty" Bowed the eldest twin.

"Thank you. May God bless the noble Fryes!"

Evie and Jacob bowed before her. Earl Grey opened the carriage door while Phipps helped her Majesty to get inside before entering himself inside it. Grey closed the door and hoped on top of the carriage, taking the reins. He looked one last time at the twins and smiled at them.

"See you next time!"

He whipped the reins and the carriage went off. Jacob looked at his twin sister and asked:

"Do you think she'll offer you any more cake?"

Evie rolled her eyes and began to leave.
