Now, three days after the letter from Queen Elizabeth II, Ciel and Draco were entering Buckingham palace to finally meet their beautiful queen. It had been years since Sebastian had been in this palace, so long ago it was Ciel Vincent Phantomhive that had come here with when Ciel was only ten years old. Draco and Ciel both marveled at the tall hallways and homely vibe coming from the palace as they walked down the hall.

"This is amazing, Phantomhive! Look at all these portraits of her highness!" Draco gasped, pointing at the paintings on the walls as they walked. But Sebastian could also sense the sadness radiating off the walls too, after all, Princess Diana had only just died. Lucky reaper the one that got her soul. 

"Draco, please be quieter, it's still mourning period of Princess Diana's death. You'll have to respect that the young Princes Harry and William might not want to speak to anyone at this moment in time. I'm sure Prince Charles could answer any question you may have about your role as the Queens Spider." Ciel mumbled, his head high and his shoulders proud as he scolded then explained everything to Draco, who nodded and returned to silence. 

Sebastian and Claude walked behind their masters. Claude sighed, scratching the back of his head as they walked.

"I've gotta hand it to ya, Michaelis. You sure know how to pick a soul, don't you? At least this Trancy actually will taste nice." Claude commented monotonously. Sebastian chuckled and looked down at his young master. 

"Yes, but I'm sure that when our contract is complete, it won't be his soul I'll be taking, it'll be his last name." Sebastian sighed with a smile, "after all, our destinies have been joined since the day he was born. My young master will always be the one for me." Claude sighed from beside him.

"It's going to make it very hard to lose him when he dies of old age, you know that right?" Claude asked softly, feeling grief for the first time to this demon. Sebastian nodded solemnly.

"I'll turn him into a demon when he turns twenty two, for his birthday, he'll never have to leave my side." The crow demon explained and had no idea his young lord was listening.

"Sebastian," Claude started, "I know you love him but you mustn't change his whole future just because you want him to stay with you forever." He frowned and put a hand on Sebastian's shoulder. "You have to face his death then finally fulfill your agreement with him, eating his soul when he finally dies in eighty-five years." 

"But, what if I don't live that long, Claude?" Ciel spun around, interrupting their private conversation. Sebastian could see the frightened look in his eyes and he knew he had caused said look. "What if Sebastian turns hungry and eats my soul well before eighty-five years from now?" Sebastian's heart shattered.

"Master, as long as I live I wont eat your  soul because," Sebastian gently took hold of Ciel's hand and kissed it, "I love you, that's all that will satisfy me now. Your love and affection, because you're all I need." Ciel rolled his eyes and pulled Sebastian into a kiss.

Draco stood by Claude's side and glanced up at him, "Say, Claude..." he began.

"No."

"awww but whyyyy? They're kissing!" Draco pouted.

"Doesn't matter. You're not my love interest so I will not kiss you. I will prefer to keep this a butler-master relationship. I will not stray like Michaelis has." Claude replied.

"You sound like my dad." Draco huffed. Claude sighed, turning to his master.

"alright. Just one kiss. " Claude cringed waiting for it to be over.

An hour later, Ciel and Draco were called into the ceremony room where they finally saw Queen Elizabeth for the first time. Ciel quickly saw that the two butlers guarding her had pale white skin and hair with purple eyes. He leaned over to Draco and whispered, "They're angels. Their aim is to make this world pure." Draco gulped in nervousness. 

"Greetings Ciel Hadrian Phantomhive and Draconis Trancy, my two loyal guards." Queen Elizabeth spoke up with a bright smile which calmed Ciel and Draco's nerves. "I am honored to meet your family again after so many years. Your father denied being Lord Phantomhive, Ciel. Do you know why that is by any chance?" Asked the queen almost elegantly, she had practiced all this. 

"I suppose it's because Albus Dumbledore was after his alliance so he went into hiding and didn't want to be found by any means necessary therefore did not accept your invitation to become your guard dog. Now, as the new Lord of Phantomhive I am here to make myself known as your loyal Guard dog." Ciel stated, standing tall and brave. 

Draco stood tall too and spoke up confidently, "And I too, your majesty. My family turned away your invitations to be loyal Spiders for about three generation, well I'm here today to finally accept your offer. I, Draconis Trancy, finally accept the invitation to be your loyal Spider until the day I die." Queen Elizabeth smiled at the two teenagers in front of her. 

"Come up here, Ciel Phantomhive." She beckoned and Ciel walked swiftly over to her, an admiring smile on his face. She placed a golden chain around his shoulders, rubies adorned  the chain alongside sapphires and emeralds. Ciel took the weight of the chain and bowed, stepping back. "I welcome you home, my loyal guard dog, Ciel Hadrian Phantomhive." 

Ciel stood back as Draco walked up to the Queen. The Queen did the same as before but Draco's chain was adorned with topazes, amethysts and finally a red diamond in the center. Draco chuckled lightly at how well the chain fit him, his blonde hair falling down over his eyes as he looked up at Queen Elizabeth. "Welcome back, my loyal Spider, Draconis Trancy." The Queen stood back and now spoke to the whole room of people. "These are my loyal guard dogs, get in their way and nothing will stop them from eliminating you from harming me." The crowd bowed and one by one, left the room. Once all of them were gone, only The Queen, Draco, Ciel and the angels were left in the room.

"Do forgive us, Your Majesty, we must be heading back to Phantomhive manor now." Ciel bowed and after The Queen gave an approving nod, left with Draco. 

"Young Master, congratulations on becoming the new Guard Dog." Sebastian gave his master a closed eye smile as he gently bent down and kissed him. Ciel gladly kissed back then pulled away. 

"Uh...Erm.. Th-Thank you Sebas-Chan." Ciel grinned and Sebastian rolled his eyes.

"Are you seriously gonna nickname me Sebas-Chan because Grell does?" Sebastian asked with an amused smile as he picked up his master and walked home. "I do have one other question for you though, master." 

Ciel glanced at Sebastian as they walked and furrowed his eyes in thought. "Yes? What is it Sebas-Chan?" He asked in a confused tone. 

Sebastian put Ciel down on the grass they were on and got down on one knee, a hand over his heart then pulled a box from his tailcoat pocket and he asked the long awaited question.

 "Ciel Hadrian Phantomhive, will you marry me?"
