Sebastian stomped around angrily. Getting madam red attention and talking... More like complaining what a brat his master was. Madam red smiled. This was what she needed. She kept watch over them. If Sebastian really feels this way, he could join them. Madam red walked to the game room. "the manor is beautiful, my room is just how I left it." She smiled.
"master I have prepared tea.... " Sebastian had prepared the tea . A prefect cup for madam red but he didn't let it set for Ciel. The game has begun. "my lord, your tea..."
Ciel took a sip and spit out, "what the devil is this?" he glares.
"your tea. Same as madam." Madam red took a sip of hers . "honestly my lord...." He takes the tea back . " we have guests. Lets not argue in front of madam." Oh he's telling Ciel what to do...
He glares at Sebastian, he was being to perfect, "mind your tongue servant!"
"i shall bring you another kind of tea..." He excuses himself while madam red drinks. "the tea tastes fine nephew. Don't you think your being a bit too hard on him?" She wanted to know what he felt towards seb
"He's been a bit annoying with his showing off and he acts more stuck up then the earl Trancy...he's more of a brat than a two year old" he said it loud enough for Sebastian to hear, he was beginning to enjoy this game a but to much.
"But the place looks wonderful. And I only seen him as a servant. Surely being overworked can cause times of mistakes." Madam was defending him.
Sebastian came back with proper tea...he did enjoy it this time but he had to punish him somehow.
Ciel snickered, and glared at Sebastian as took to the tea aggressively.
Sebastian smiled and served them lunch. "it looks wonderful Sebastian." Madam plate was perfect. So was Ciel but it was cold. No one could tell.
Ciel took a bit of the food and spit out again, "DAMN YOU! IM GETTING TIRED OF THIS!
"forgive me my lord for anything you believe I'm doing incorrectly. But have you every though it was you who is wrong?" seb bowed.
"Ciel, this lunch is very delicious. Perhaps Sebastian is right"
He growled and gripped the knife in his hand.
"Ciel!" Madam red cried. He was cutting his hand. Sebastian just walked off. Madam red wrapped her napkin around his hand. "Don't get upset. If he isn't a great butler, why don't you just replace him?" And here's the kicker, let her know seb handles his profits. If she's really interested in his company, Sebastian will be the key she needs
Ciel hadn't even noticed when his hand was bleeding, he couldn't feel real pain since that day he was tortured and died.
When she finished bandaging his hand he sighed annoyed and looked at her with the words she spoke, "I wish I could fire him...but he does take care of all the Financial part of the business"
"You must really trust him." She smiled and leaned back. "Excuse me, I have to clean up the blood...." she smiled and went towards the kitchen instead the bathroom. She went off to talk to Sebastian about a plan. She came back, freshen up and sat down at her chair across from Ciel who set up the chess board. "How wonderful! Chess!" She smiled and made the first move, moving her pawn .
He snickered a bit as leaned forward from his chair and moved one of his pawns as.
"ciel... mind if I ask... what happened to you? You were gone for so long. I never stopped looking for you... I... people talk.. and I want to hear from you...." she moved another pawn
Ciel moved another pawn, and looked at his aunt, as he kept silence. That was never something he chosen to speak of...with any one "
She sighed. "I'm just concern. Maybe its effecting your sanity. What choices your making with the company.... your father would never....."she moves another pawn. Was she literally trying to upset him?!... he had to calm and turn it around. She's trying to say he's crazy but why.. what reasons..... "if you need help, I can.. we are family Ciel...". She wants the company.
"I'm fine, I've lost sanity long ago...." He moved another pawn, "I do not want help nor seek pity...... But now, let's refrain from that talk--"
"I worry about you Ciel. Its not pity. Its out of love. Don't you remember the funs times we had?" She holds his hand before he makes a move. "Ciel you were my world. You still are."
"I tried! I tried! I pulled you out and went back to save your parents.... and I came back out and you were gone..... " she cries a bit as she pulls her sleeves up, exposing her burned scarred arms..... "Ciel.. what matters now is now. We are here .. together." She moved her knight. "Check"
Ciel was a bit shocked at the sight of her arms, he gazed at her sadly.
They contnuied to play and ciel placed his piece. Checkmate. "Good game nephew..... I thought I almost had you."
Ciel nods, "good game..."
Sebastian knocked on the door. "Dinner is ready. All prepared in the dining room." Sebastian left and madam red stood up. "Sounds lovely. I need to wash up." She smiled and left for the dining area. Ciels ankle was still hurt..it took him longer to get anywhere. He saw madam red and Sebastian talking.. madam red was leaning forward on him. She was flirting with him?! "Mastah" fin was behind him with the coal bucket when Ciel pinned him to the wall. He didn't want to be discovered he had been spying. He covered Finnys mouth as he tried to hear what was going on. Finny eyes went wide... being this close... he started to blush.
Ciel listened closely to them, as he was a bit jealous to hear his aunt flirting in the process of explaining the plan. After they finished speaking Ciel looked at Finny as he was a bit to close almost close enough to kiss, he barely blushed a bit. He heard Sebastian walk by and saw him at corner of his eye, the butler stopped as he was looking at his master with shocked gaze. Ciel was up against Finny well, he humped away as if he was just caught cheating, he blushed and looked at his butler, "Se-sebastian...?"
"If you're finished with dessert, dinner is ready." Sebastian smiled and walked to the kitchen for more food. Madam red was waiting for him at the table.
"Ciel? You are walking funny? Are you hurt?" She was concern.. or acting concern. He knew the plan was set. But he had to wait to see if she would really do it.
He snickered, "I just fell....that's all~"
"Please be careful..."he sat down and dinner was served. Ciel was eating and Sebastian was pouring wine when... the plan went into action. The wine spilled on to Ciel pants. The movement cause Sebastian to drop the plate onto Ciel head. "Master!... " Ciel knew he had to take another bath to get everything out!
Ciel growled at Sebastian as he heated up, "DAMN YOU! I'VE GOTTEN SICK OF YOU!!!" he slaps Sebastian and felt bad for that. Maybe he was getting to much into this game and he kind of wanted to stop he looked at Sebastian a bit apologetic, he sighed annoyed in act as he limped in pain away from the table to take another bath, "come I must be bathed, excuse me madam I apologize but I need to leave but you can enjoy dinner without me~"
Sebastian followed Ciel and nodded at madam red. He followed Ciel to the bath and Ciel saw finnan there covered in a bathrobe with.. black dyed hair?... " you stupid brat." Sebastian yelled and shut the door. He bowed down at Ciel . "Forgive me my lord for my outburst. We have to act on our plan." Finny was nervous. What did finnan have to do with this!
Ciel looked at Sebastian with suspicion, there really was no reason to drag the other servants into this. He frowned at him, "just give me a bath already and leave the others out of this~"
"But that's the point. I'm suppose to kill you now." Sebastian grabbed a cloth and walks around Ciel. "You accidentally drowned. As madam red has planned. She will be the next in kin and sole heir. You see her plan now my lord?" He grabbed Ciel by his shirt and brought him close to his face. "Now be a good pet and play..." he dropped Ciel, causing him to grunt in pain. Sebastian walks behind finny and placed the cloth over his mouth. Finny reached for Ciel for help but was overcome by the drug and fell asleep. "He's a bit taller. But it will be convincing. Now I'm going to hide you in your closet...." Ciel knew the plan. He needed to hear the plans for himself. Sebastian grabbed a wet rag and cleaned Ciel face. He carried him and fin back to his room and he laid finny face down.. wrapping his eye patch over him and covered his naked form with a sheet... he was pretty convincing. Sebastian carried Ciel to his closet and waited for madam red to come into the room.
Ciel waited and tilted his head back sighing, "I knew that woman never cared~ but those scars" he remembered her showing his arms, "why did she have those scars?"
