(Three hundred views!? Holy crap this is been my best so far, thank you all for reading my stories I really do appreciate it. So here we are please enjoy)
As the next few days passed, (y/n) discovered Claude had set him up to be an Earl. Which came with a nice manor, plenty of pounds(money), along with triplet demon servents. (Y/n) knew he was practically taking the place of Claude's former master an Earl named Alois Trancy.
Though being the orphan he was, (y/n) never saw fit to just sit around and have people do things for him. It made him feel rather useless to be honest. Against Claude's protests (y/n) did what little a human could do when it came to four demon servants who could clean an entire mansion without making one noise.
'So, this is what its like to have a demon for a butler Smile' (y/n) thought 'let the best man win'
Before Smile and Black came around, (y/n) would never had thoughts of revenge or anger, it wasn't in his nature. Wendy, Peter, Jumbo, Beast, Dagger, and even (y/n) himself was murdered. If it wasn't Claude, (y/n) would probably be six feet under.
Around noon while (y/n) was reading a book in his study, Claude arrived with a small plate of snacks. Tiny little chocolate muffins, over the past few days (y/n) discovered that demons really new how to cook. Claude simply put the plate on the desk, which was now to (y/n)'s left because he was laying in the chair with his feet dangling off one of the arm rest and his back against the other.
"Thank you Claude," (y/n) said with a smile as he sat up in his chair.
"You are welcome, your highness" Claude said, "the Phantomhive household will be holding a ball tonight, shall I prepare for the trip?"
"Yes, be prepared incase Smile and Black try anything" (y/n) said "oh and Claude I'd like you to act as both my butler and my guard tonight, I doubt I will go unthreatened."
Claude pushes up his glasses and nods, then leaves the room. (Y/n) had notice the change in Claude since they first met. From what (y/n) could gather Alois Trancy wasn't the nicest of masters, (y/n) doubted Claude was used to being treated nicely by his masters. As long as (y/n) had Claude by his side, nothing could stop him from his revenge, nor having someone who actually cared for (y/n).
Hours past and around six in the afternoon (y/n)'s carriage was pulling closer to the Phantomhive manor. (Y/n) hated this place, it had returned to what it looked like before his family ever touched it. No crumbled walls, no corpses, no broken glass, no blood.
As the carriage pulled to a stop and Claude opened the door to help (y/n) out of the carriage, he could see the hatred coming from Smile. Ciel Phantomhive was greeting other guests at the door, until his eye turned to (y/n).
(Y/n) was dressed in a fashion similar to the previous Earl Trancy, with longer shorts, darker colors and a white eyepatch to hide his contract. Ciel made his way down the stairs, followed by his butler, a cold look on both their faces.
"Long time no see Smile," (y/n) said with a smirk, "surprised to see me?"
"I suggest you stop calling me by that ridiculous name," Ciel said "what are you doing here? I do not remember inviting you"
"Oh you didn't invite me, your lovely fiance Lady Midford did" (y/n) said "I am an Earl after all, talking to women of high stature is normal"
"Earl?" Ciel asked, "you're a pesent given riches, Sebastian see to it the party goes smoothly and the guests get what they asked"
"Yes, my lord" Black said and turns back to the manor.
"Claude, be a dear and help out will you?" (Y/n) asked "I would like to talk to Smile privately, I will call for you if needed"
"Yes, your highness" Claude bows.
(Y/n) watched as the two butlers made their way into the manor, obviously looking forward to a fight. Ciel and (y/n) made their way to Ciel's study, which was similar to (y/n)'s but more cluttered with work. Smile took a seat at his desk, obviously not to happy about this turn of events. (Y/n) smirks and takes a seat across from him, leaning back into the chair.
"I assume you're here for revenge," Ciel said keeping his eye on (y/n).
"Of course, I plan on killing you" (y/n) said with a smirk, "but not before I make you feel the same pain I did, when you and your servants murdered my family."
"You planned on kidnapping myself and others," Ciel said "all to keep the Barron on your good side"
(Y/n) reaches into his coat, pulling a silver barrel revolver from its holster. It was something Claude had given him to protect himself, or to frighten people. (Y/n) opened the cylinder, a single bullet rests inside. A game of Russian Roulette, while talking to have a little fun. He closes the cylinder and spins it around before cocking the gun. Then aiming it at Ciel.
"I'll admit, I hated what Father was doing" (y/n) said "I hated every minute of it, if it would have came down to it, I would have taken the blame and went to Scotland yard myself"
(Y/n) pulls the trigger, but it came up blank. He cocked the gun again and aims it at his head from under his chin.
"Then why didn't you?" Ciel asked keeping a calm and stern look.
"Because you and Black pushed my family into a corner, it was survive or die" (y/n) said and pulls the trigger.
The shot was blank. (Y/n) cocked the gun again and aimed it at Ciel, with a smirk on his face.
"Your 'Father', replicated a room in which children were held captive, branded and sold, or sacrificed" Ciel said with a glare, "all while he made your family think the orphanage was still up and running"
"I was aware the orphanage was destroyed, Claude informed me of so" (y/n) said "unlike you, Ciel Phantomhive, I plan on making this world a better world. A world without scum like yourself and the Barron"
(Y/n) pulled the trigger only to have a cushion be placed at the end of the barrel within the blink of an eye. Black was standing their with a creepy smile on his face, holding a bullet in one hand and a murdered cushion.
"I must apologize for comming in unannounced Earl Trancy, but Lady Elizabeth is looking for you downstairs" Sebastian said.
"You act like I'm unaware of what you truely are Black, and please call me Silver" (y/n) got up "after all you were a part of the family for a brief time"
(Y/n) walked to the door, where Claude was waiting for him. (Y/n) handed Claude the revolver and sighs.
"Claude, I'll be staying for a few hours" (y/n) said "do make sure my time with Lady Midford goes uninterrupted"
"Yes, your highness" Claude bows a little before following behind (y/n).
'Ciel Phantomhive, I will take away everything you cherish, watch your empire fall from under you. And make you beg while drawing your last few breathes, then will you know my pain'
