"Ciel what a brilliant surprise, you came!" The Queen would say in joy.
The young earl would look bored as he'd sigh, his butler held the same smile as always.
"Yes... yes I did." He'd mutter out, "When shall this, Beth, arrive? I'm on a tight schedule." Lies, he honestly just didn't want to be there. The idea of being in the presence of that foreign being made him shiver from what the Undertaker had told him yesterday.
A knock would appear from the door, the Queen being eger immediately said to come in.
Her butler would walk in with Beth to his side. Ciel looked towards Beth, he'd shiver as he noticed she had nothing.
Wasn't she supposed to bring in her prototype? Sebastian had also noticed this, his usual smile would turn into a glare as he'd too glance at Beth.
Her butler would bow before exiting as he'd close the door, once again waiting outside.
"Ms. Beth, weren't you supposed to bring the prototype?" She'd raise her brow as she was deeply conflicted.
Beth had smirked, "Oh but I did." She'd hum a soft tune as a rattling sound was made above them. The Queens guards looked up, immediately going on guard as they glanced back towards Beth.
Everyone had looked up, they'd take a step back as they'd quickly glance between Beth and the sudden noises dispersing from above them.
"Attack Me." Beth would say, smirking towards them.
"What? Why would anyone do that?" The Queen would question as She'd stand behind her guard dog and his butler. She'd be shaking as the noise from above had stopped.
"Not You." She laugh out until scratching could be heard along the walls before a sharp metallic feline like growl erupted from behind Beth as it emerged jumping at her. She'd stay completely still as the Queen presented a terrified face.
"Heel." Beth would speak, before the creature could even slice into her it'd stop mid flight in the air, it's metallic fur would fall back down effortlessly onto it's fine structured body. It's retract it's sharp silver claws, falling onto the ground it'd shake it's head out, a swish sound being made from it's very presence, trotting its way over towards her side it'd glare at everyone else.
The young earl would send a menacing look towards it, this must have just been what the Undertaker was talking about. A force not to be reckoned with.
The creature would have chains around its neck and limbs, containing it from going anywhere without its masters permission. A metal mask would cover the top portion of its face, the eye sockets being completely red. Retractable spikes were embedded along the sides of the mask In case it had acted up.
"Prototype mB54. A machine designed to be the perfect guard and deadliest weapon."
Sebastian would now be fully on guard, sending a sharp glare towards the beast which ultimately released a high pitch growl from it. The small lumps hidden underneath his coat didn't lie that'd he mean business if anything or anyone would try and hurt his master.
Ciel's eyes narrowed as he looked at the beast, the guards were all prepared to attack them until a small clapping noise started to erupt throughout the room. "Wonder! Just wonderful!" The queen would chant, mesmerized by its beauty. Ciel would look at the queen shocked, how could she think this thing, no, monster was 'wonderful?' If anything it was just vile, his expression would churn into something disgusted, as if he had just smelt dead flesh at his feet.
Beth would rest her right hand on her chin, her expression filled with mischief, glee, her hues would dart around the room quickly before she'd retreat her hand back down to her side, gesturing a small bow her hair would quickly tumble down as gravity lead it so, lifting her head up just enough so she could look at them she'd prop her body back up. The beast beside her would shift it'd weight onto it's hind legs, moving it's body slickly as it'd arise on her, now, left side it's head tilting upwards towards it's master.
"How much are you offering for it?" The queen would say, her eyes sparkled as she'd walk forward, everyone but her had some form of worry on their faces, also deducting Beth from this que, why must she be so ignorant?
"Nothing, I only ask that you report to me if it acts up in anyway- which are only minor incidents. It breaking down, or not moving of course. Other then that it's a safe mechanism for personal uses" she'd finish before reopening her mouth, "That's of course, if you do want it." She'd flash a smirk of interest towards the group.
"Certainly! I'll definitely behold the honor of keeping this wonderful beast!" The queen would chant out, Sebastian had a blank expression on his face, his hand ready to grab the squeaky clean blades in his coat.
Beth would walk forward, the beast would closely follow behind her, it's head now perked forward, she'd put out her hand in a greeting manor. "Seal the contract, M'lady." She'd hum out, the beast swished it's tail back and forth as it'd watch the scene in front of it.
"Excuse me, your Majesty, shouldn't you at least-" Ciel would start, "Nonsense.." The queen would cut in, reaching her hand out with slight hesitation she'd grip the others, a firm shake being held as the beasts eye sockets would flash a chiming white, before switching back towards their original hue.
The Queen would then look back towards her guard dog and his butler, giving them a faint smile she'd open her mouth, "See, everythings fine, now isn't it Be-" She'd look back to where Beth should have been, but actually she had vanished- completely. Gone, without a trace, it was fairly strange for this to happen. "Oh.." She'd mutter the beast now standing firmly in front of her it'd look up, it's weird metallic structure leaning in towards her.
Ciel would rub his temples, "My god..." he'd murmur out, his butler doing the same, just more secluded. The queen would glance back towards the pair, "Ciel, it's yours. Do whatever you want with it." She'd say, the beast seemingly understanding as it'd slowly move forward towards the two.
"I'm-" Ciel would only start a sentence to fail at completing it, "No, It's my gift to you. Enjoy." She'd cut him off. The beast would lick it's lips, a odd shaped tongue would happen out, almost as if the blade of a serrated knife had been in place of ones tongue it's leave a quick, but not long-lived, trail of saliva before returning back into it's resting place.
She'd wave them off, her guards escorting them out as Ciel would mutter underneath his breath, "What thing has she given us now, Sebastian?"
