Chapter 15: His Butler and Rook, Supremely Talented

The weather outside at night was howling the streets with its sheer cut coldness, as the wind blew flakes of snow in the wind as it danced the gloomy streets of London. Sebastian who was just on the roof watching a lone figure exit the townhouse came in informing Ciel that Agni was the one who left the area. When he saw [Y/n] she waved coming over asking "How long have you been out there anyway?" He smirked leaning in "Why do you want to know?~" She set her hand over his forehead when she took it back, "Goodness your freezing.~" He chuckled "No your just warm." Ciel coughed breaking up the moment "Are you done?" Lau watched as Ciel's butler was behaving oddly too when it came to her. Until Soma came in saying he is going with them.

They all looked at him, when he faced them head-on, "I have noticed Agni sneaking out whenever I fell asleep. If he is hiding something from me....it is my right to know what it is. Whatever it may be." Soon they followed Agni while trailing him, everyone was bundled up for the cold well except [Y/n] since she couldn't feel it. It was a big manor on the edge of town from where the townhouse was they were staying. Agni was already inside, [Y/n] asked if anyone knows who owns this place when Ciel answered her question saying someone he had seen once was the owner of this manor. His named was Harold West Jet. Ciel explains how Mr. Harold West Jet is a businessman Ciel had done with once, even saying how he is repulsive from just one meeting with him.

They were on the other side of the wall around the manor when she saw there thankfully wasn't anyone watching from the outside. Ciel is an orderly tone looked at Sebastian, "Well then Sebastian." He elegant bow "Yes, My Lord.....However. Ladies first." He swiftly lifts [Y/n] leaping over the wall like it was nothing, setting her down she set herself up when she smiled small. "Thank you." He smiled and told her to wait there, when everyone was on the other side they all made their way in making sure no one was coming down the dark corners of the manor. When they noticed one room out of all of them was lit up.

Low voices, well one voice was coming from the very room, all of them looked through the crack seeing Agni sitting himself down a man about Agni's size was smiling as he walked around Agni where he sat. The man was dressed well, from an important family of some kind, he had dirty blonde hair. His bans were comb and set in the front of his head, he pours a drink in a glass asking Agni if he wanted one too. However giving him the silent treatment Agni stood his ground, walking in front of him clearly not taunt by his attitude. Harold set himself down eying Agni wearing that same grin of a snake who charmed his next victim. "Once I obtain the 'Royal Warrant with the help of this arm of yours~ Everything and my business will expense tenfold."

"Right?~ Agni.~" He held up Agni's hand that was bandaged up [Y/n] noticed Agni looked nervous for some reason. It seems he has something on Agni....and it made him feel helpless. Letting his arm go Agni looked down at his hands when he whispered up, "If.....I do this.....then Mina-" Soma felt his heart leap when Soma burst in screaming up in the room "Mina! Where is Mina Agni!?" Stomping inside he grabs Agni's collar forgetting Harold was there wondering how he got in?! Ciel had his mouth covered by Sebastian seeing he was about to stop Soma from going into the room. "My Lord. Lord Harold is familiar with you. You better not go in." "You knew where Mina was all this time Agni.....and you didn't even TELL me!? Tell Agni why?! What are you keeping from me!?"

However it seems Agni was speechless, his voice was lost and his eyes were trembling when Harold broke their moment finding Soma's display humorous. "My, My. What is a flirty rat doing in here." Letting Agni go he eyed Harold as if he remembers him. "I remember you..... you're the man.... you're the man who took My Mina from me. Agni! Get him." Harold thought he can't be serious, chuckling low as Agni just stood there. Soma looked back shouting "Agni!? What are you waiting for!?" When Harold's grin grew "Well you heard him Agni. Throw the little rat out.~" It seems even Agni was trembling by the tone of Harold's voice he looked back at him showing his teeth. "Agni. I believe I gave you an order. Do it or our agreement is off."
