Prologue
A small child and mother were walking through their garden, a sense of melancholic artificial beauty drenched the scene like an overbearing wave. The bluenette tugged on the adult’s hand, nudging for her to stop.
“What is it, dear?” The woman asked concernedly, leaning forward slightly while pulling a strand of blonde hair behind her ear.
“Mama, why do I have to pretend to be a boy?” Ciel queried, eyebrows furrowed and aquamarine eyes wide.
Rachel paused before smiling down at her sadly, “Your father said the Phantomhive manor is no place for a little girl, Celine.”
She knows it’s precariously uncouth for her to use such a feminine nickname on her supposedly male child, but she can’t help but to take solace in the delicate title she wished she could have graced her only offspring with.
Ciel blinked, staring down for a minute before meeting her mother’s eyes, “What did Mama say?”
She sighed, bending down slightly to encase her child within the safety of her arms. Her lips slant down at the corners to form a slight frown, eyes lidded with heavy thoughts.
“Mama said she wants her baby girl safe, regardless of the means it takes.”
