[A/n:- The Clifford family is also under the direct order of the queen just like the Phantomhives and Trancys. Enjoy!!]

"My lady, Master Alfred has come to visit you", (Y/n) said as she opened the door to my study.

"Alright. Tell him to be in the garden. I'll be there soon," I said, putting down my quill.

"Yes my lady," (Y/n) said before she headed out.

I got up and stretched. 'I hope he's okay.'

I walked out to the garden.

As I reached the garden with (Y/n) I saw Alfred sitting near the tea table, with Mr.Pennyworth.

When he saw me, he got up and greeted me. We sat down and (Y/n) served us with some Rosemary tea.

"I came here without my parents' knowledge. So I'm sorry I couldn't tell you beforehand that I would come," he said.

"Its alright Alfred," I smiled, yes. Genuinely.

"Ah! Are...you okay..?" I asked, looking at him. Unconsciously, his hand went his cheek.

"Yeah...I'm fine." He said, as his hand left his cheek.

I looked down into my tea. "I'm sorry...." I muttered.
He didn't say anything neither did I.
That little gap in the conversation let me slip into my own thoughts.

'I really am sorry.
No matter what I have to do,
I will avenge my love.
But....
That does not include hurting Alfred.
Hurting him is out of the question.'

I felt someone slightly shake me. Then I heard (Y/n)'s voice, "My lady!"

I jerked back to reality and looked at (Y/n). Once she saw that I was back she smirked. "More tea? My lady?"

"N-no. I'm fine," I said and looked at Alfred. He smiled at me. I smiled back.

I walked Alfred to the door.

Alfred tried to give me a formal goodbye,"I Hope to see you again, my la-" I cut him off with a hug.

I couldn't see his face since I had buried my face in his chest but I'm sure he was startled. I mean...HE FROZE UP!!

After a while he hugged me and whispered, "We aren't engaged anymore, you know. Don't be so careless." I hugged him tighter, taking in his sweet smell. It always made me safe.

I love that about him.
He cares.
He'll care even if no one else did.

He's the brother I never had.

"I don't care," I whispered back.

We stayed that way for a while then broke apart.

As soon as we did, I felt the warmth slip away, bringing me back to cold reality.

He waved me goodbye before getting into his ride. As carriage drove away I saw Alfred glance at (Y/n) with some unreadable expression.

I frowned.

I saw him do a lot today and the day we visited the Turner mansion.

'What happened? Is he suspecting something?'

Late that evening, (Y/n) came into my study. I looked up at her.

"My lady, you have a Visitor", she said.

I sighed, "Again?..... Alright."

I got up and headed to where my 'guest' was waiting. (Y/n) opened the door and I entered.

There was man in white. And when I say that I mean his clothes, his hair, even his skin.
He was calmly sipping tea.

He looked up when I entered and smiled. His smile was sinister unlike his looks.

He introduced himself. " I am Ash landers. The her Majesty, the queen's butler."

I was shocked. Why would her majesty send her butler here? Was this for another mission?
'Its odd...she always conveyed her wishes through letters...'

"I am quite surprised not to find your butler here but only a maid......though that is none of my business.."

'The heck is wrong with this guy?'

"My butler is absent at the time but do not worry, my maid (Y/n) suffices for a hundred servants." I said.

"Oh does she now.." He looked at (Y/n) and smirked.

(Y/n) had a 'the fuck are you staring at' look. This...I will find out later.

"All that aside.." mr.fishy guy said. Placing his cup on the table, he fished out a letter with the royal seal on it. "Her majesty conveys her deepest sorrow that needs to be tended to immediately," he said placing the letter in front of me.

I took the letter into my hands then looked at mr. Fishy guy. "They I shall make sure I fullfil her majesty's wish."

He got up,"Then I shall take my leave and assure the queen that her wish will be Seen to."

"Of course. The Cliffords live to serve her majesty," I said.

As soon as he left I walked back to my study with my maid following me, "(Y/n). That man.."

"Yes my lady. He is an angel."

I didn't need to look at her face to know how disgusted she was. It was plainly obvious.

"(Y/n), have you sent the letter?" I asked.

"Yes my lady. I have informed them that we will arrive today," she said.

"Then let's not waste much time," I said as (Y/n) finished dressing me.

"My lady, may I ask what were her majesty's wishes?" (Y/n) asked as we rode the carriage.

Our current destination was the Phantomhive manor to discuss some business matters with Earl Ciel Phantomhive.

"The queen wishes for Ciel Phantomhive to be cleansed." I said, looking at her.

I think she got the message since she smirked.

I looked out of the window. " The Phantomhive mansion burned down three years ago, killing the previous earl and his wife. Their child went missing. Afterwards, the child returned...." I glanced at (Y/n) and smirked.

".....with a really 'capable' butler clad in black."

I looked at (Y/n) expecting some kind of shocked expression but I was disappointed. She had a straight face.

Then she sighed, "My lady. It happens a lot. It is nothing to be surprised about."

I was embarrassed. I looked out the window, "Well I wasn't excepting anything."

I heard her chuckle, "Of course, my lady."

--------An Eternity later ---------

The carriage reached the Phantomhive mansion.

(Y/n) helped me get off.

There, waiting for us was the Earl himself and his infamous butler.

"Let's put on a show, (Y/n)," I whispered.

"Yes, my lady."
