Sebastian and with the help of Malach they escaped to the boat in time. Ariel was nowhere to be in sight, but deep down inside Sebastian knew he was still lurking in the shadows, watching with every movement.

They arrived in London the next day later and caught the carriage towards the manor. It seemed as if rain would never leave them, since it was raining upon the ride towards London as well. (y/n) looked outside at the drops running down the window.

It was almost humorous, watching something trying so hard to escape, but it could never escape the wind as the wind took it away. She always hated when it rained since flying was dangerous then, but if it rained, then no angels were on the lookout.

"So," Malach said, giving him everyone's attention. "We got The Silver Cup of Heaven, but what now?"

"First (y/n) and I are returning to the mansion," Sebastian answered for (y/n), "It is a duty of a Phantomhive servant to attended our master first before everything else."

Malach sighed and leaned his head against the window. "Gosh... then where will I stay?"

"In the barn." Sebastian said, hiding a smirk inside.

"You can sleep in Sebastian's room, it has an extra bed just in case another servant needs it."

At that moment, Sebastian lost all the respect he had for her. He watched with bitterness as Malach smirked and cracked his knuckles.

"That sounds wonderful." Malach chuckled.

Sebastian smiled back and straightened himself up. "Indeed."

It was deadly silent as the carriage arrived at the manor. Malach quickly launched himself out of the carriage and into the bushes of the garden.

"What are you doing?!" (y/n) shouted at him.

"Hiding behind this tree!"

(y/n) didn't have time to correct the idiot when the front door opened. Alongside with Sebastian, they bowed at Ciel. He seemed to be in the bitter mood, as if someone spit in his tea.

Ciel step forward and stopped in front of (y/n). "Did you find the cup you were looking for?"

(y/n) nodded. "Yes sir. Though the last cup will take time to track down and hunt to get it from the grasp of the enemy."

"Good, that's what I was going to question about." Ciel turned on his heels and walked back inside. "Come with me into my office. I have some more news for you."

Sebastian shared a secret glance of a look towards (y/n). They both knew something was up and it involved them both, once again. But nothing more, they advanced towards their master's side.

Sebastian opened the doors before Ciel could come in. It smelled of burned Earl Grey... maybe Sebastian should leave him a ready and prepare tea next time.

Ciel sat down onto his chair, swirling around to face them both. "Bloody Hell... give me a bloody good reason why I shouldn't be giving you both half cut of your pay check. It wasn't three days, it was a full week. Sebastian, I thought you were agreeing it would have only taken three days."

Sebastian bowed, his tailcoat flying up behind him as always. "My apologizes, my Lord. Ariel, the holder of The Golden Cup of Heaven, was there and backtracked our plans. I take full responsibility."

Ceil sighed and looked at the letter in front of him. "It doesn't matter now. The queen send me a letter the day before yesterday, saying she acquires to meet (y/n) at the royal castle."

(y/n) jumped in her socks, already wet from the splashing of the rain outside. She bowed down next to Sebastian, hopping her hair wouldn't cover her face. "Did the queen ask why she wanted me, my Lord?"
