♤The Phantomhive Feline♤ Ciel Phantomhive X kitten reader

chapter 5

you calmly lead him to the drawing room, purring quietly at the additional comments and praises from the Italian man. things like:

"haha, who would have thought that even the animals of Phantomhive were as well-mannered as the staff here!"

and "such a pretty breed as well! Phantomhive has a magnificent taste, even in felines!"

you simply nodded and continued on, scenting the air for that boy, until it led to the drawing room. he seemed even more impressed by the fact you can open the doors. you stroll into the room with Ciel staring expectantly at you. "very good, (name)." he praised you. the man looked down at you as you strolled up to ciel. "so that's what your name is? very nice!" he commented. Ciel smirked and motioned you to lay on his lap. you gracefully leapt onto his lap and laid across it. looked up at him with a charming kitten face. "welcome, Mr. Damiano." he greeted his guest. so far so good! you chirped inwardly as the man took his seat across ciel.

the meeting progressed rather slowly. Mr. Damiano was praising the successful progress about one of ciel's factories, in which was quite a popular stuffed animal factory in india, as they played some type of board game. You were quite surprised at how much he had. A manor, servants and a big business in selling merchandise. I didn't even know a child could have such a luxurious life at this age... you merely sat back and watched as they both played with a blank cat expression. as time went on, you quickly learned the ropes of the game. it was a very dark themed fantasy game... but for some reason, it fascinated you. Keeps you at your wits. Hope he'll teach me how to play soon... ciel's piece then landed on a specific space. "bewitched by the eyes of the dead." he said out loud. from what you understand, he's lost a turn. just as Damiano starts talking about expanding the company, but ciel interrupts by reminding him it's his turn. not the kind to stall with games, I see... well... he doesn't seem pleased with the expansion either. he takes said turn and moves up 5 spaces. then he continues on with what he was saying before. he asks for.. $12,000!? For a measly expansion? you lift your head and peered at the man suspiciously through narrowed (color) eyes. he tried to making it sound as if it were no big deal, but you still sensed something off about this man. something smells fishy... "lose a leg in the enchanted forest." ciel cut into his sentence, catching the man off guard. ciel reminds the individual of his next turn, as he already lost his.

he then, albeit reluctantly, takes his turn. it lands on 6. as he goes to move, ciel corrects him by saying it's 3. naturally, the man was confused. he had no way of knowing that losing a leg costed you half the number of spaces. "this is a gruesome board game isn't it? is there no way for me to restore my legs?" he asked with a nervous laugh. you curled the corner of your mouth into the shape of a smirk. your master leans back with a grim expression. "I'm afraid once something is truly lost, one can never get it back again."

you get up and snatched the piece Damiano was holding into your paw, much to his surprise. you counted the spaces for him and placed the piece onto the designated area. "your body is burnt by raging flames." ciel stated. Things aren't working in your favor, sir.~ damiano shuffled uncomfortably. "That's... a well-trained cat.." he uttered almost inaudibly. ciel placed a hand on your head, startling you inwardly. He's.. petting me?

"she's quite a special girl." he praised.
