"Your Excellency the Duke, look..."

Charles sat on the steps, looking at the small Duke beside him, and then looked at Sebastian who was playing with the cat.

The banquet will not be held for a few days, and this time he invited the Duke to come and appreciate the various cats.

Although Sebastian was having so much fun, his mood would definitely not be very good, but when he thought about the fact that the Duke liked cats and would come to his house to appreciate them, he immediately felt his mood healed in an instant.

"I heard from Chi Tong that your butler didn't rest for several nights in order to collect these stray cats?"

Xingyan sat next to Xiaer, holding the blue-haired little leopard in his arms, so that the cats didn't dare to get too close.

However, none of this matters. Now he just wants to know whether Sebastian can continue to be a perfect butler.

Finding so many stray cats is a huge expense, both in terms of money and energy.

"He is totally not doing his job right now!"

Speaking of collecting stray cats, Charles couldn't help but look a little irritable.

...

...

That bastard, just let him find a few cats, but he found more than a dozen, and the number is still increasing at a rate of a few every night.

"Indeed, it's a bit too much."

Xingyan looked at Sebastian who was still playing with the cat, and wanted to ask the butler, what is your aesthetic as a butler?

You are the host, your guests have been here for such a long time, and you just serve them two cups of hot tea and ignore them?

"Master, this is the milk tea that Lord Muramasa just made."

Akagi's figure suddenly appeared beside Xingyan, holding two cups of milk tea. After handing one to Xingyan, she handed the other one to Xiaer.

"It tastes delicious. It turns out that Muramasa is the best!"

Xingyan placed Grimmjow on his shoulder, holding the cup in both hands, drinking the milk tea in small sips, and not forgetting to praise him.

"Mmm! Delicious!"

Ciel drank the sweet milk tea and looked at Xingyan, who instantly became more adorable because of the cup of milk tea, and his face turned red unconsciously.

So cute!

The Duke is so powerful, why is he still so cute and warm...

Please allow him to greedily come a little closer, just a little closer. Only by getting closer to this warmth can he temporarily put aside the painful feeling...

"Right, in order to make delicious food for me, Muramasa would study all the delicious food and ingredients in every place he went to, and he would make a lot of delicious food..."

Xingyan tilted his head and looked in the direction of his home. His Muramasa had been working hard all this time.

He will have to continue to work hard in the future, since he has become accustomed to being supported.

"Hmm...Butler Muramasa is very strong..."

Ciel continued to nod in agreement, smiling as he and Xingyan looked in that direction.

Whether it was Butler Muramasa, the butler Huanwu, Grimmjow, or even the demons in the Duke's mansion, Ciel felt they were all good.

Sometimes he thought, maybe it was the breath of freedom.

The Duke is free because of his power, and the demons are free because of his care...

"Your Excellency the Duke, please taste the freshly baked chestnut cake..."

Sebastian, who was playing with the cat before, quickly made a delicious dessert while the two children were drinking milk tea.

"It tastes good, Ciel. Your butler's cooking skills are worthy of praise."

Xingyan looked at the competitive Sebastian and approved of his gourmet cooking.

"As a butler of the Phantomhive family, making snacks that satisfy the Duke and the master is the basic job of a butler!"

Sebastian raised his hand to his heart, saluted, and said calmly that this was just some normal operation.

In response to his response, Charles ate chestnut cake and drank milk tea. Apart from a look of disgust, he didn't want to express any attitude for the time being.

His butler, besides being capable, also particularly likes to be praised.

Especially the arrogant response after being praised, every time he sees it, he feels itchy, but he can't beat him...

"Since you already have a new home, live well in it and don't disturb your master..."

After drinking milk tea and eating dessert, Xingyan asked Grimmjow not to scare the kittens, then stood up and walked to the grass, asking these former stray cats, now cute little guys who had been groomed, to come over.

Reaching out his hand and stroking the heads of the fawning kittens one by one, Xingyan knew from the look in their eyes that these cats were in good spirits.

It can be guessed that when Sebastian selected the ones to bring back, he did not look for the stupid and weak ones.

"Beside His Excellency the Duke, their claws and tempers are as if they never existed."

Sebastian brought cat food over, but when he saw an overly warm scene on the grass, he stopped and sat next to Ciel to watch it together.

Even though he is a devil and these cats were brought back by him, if they are unhappy, these kittens will lose their temper with him, which is completely different from their well-behaved appearance now.

"Whether it's a human, a cat, or even a demon, they will all crave this comfortable atmosphere."

Charles held his chin with his hands, looking at the little Duke playing with the cat. The innocent smile of a child made him couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Even though he knew he couldn't have them, he still tried to seize every opportunity to get close to them. What was the difference between him, Ciel Phantomhive, and these clingy cats...

"Master, at least I don't."

The corners of Sebastian's mouth twitched, and for a moment he felt like his master envied the cats who could stick around.

However, he needed to tell his master that not everyone would indulge in that kind of warmth.

"You didn't stand a chance. Why did Akagi hit you? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Ciel's eyebrows twitched, and he turned to look at Sebastian, reaching out and pinching the demon's face.

How shameless!

How dare you say that you are not thinking about him? When you looked at His Excellency the Duke before, the red light in your eyes never faded!

"Master, aren't you stupid?"

Sebastian tilted his head and looked at Charles with a smile. His eyes clearly expressed, Master, you are silly, in a cute and delicious way!

"asshole!"

Ciel, who was so angry that his fur exploded, roared, causing Xingyan, who was playing with the cat on the grass, to look back.

At this moment, all the cats turned their heads and stared at Charles who was staring at them, and Sebastian who had a completely calm and innocent expression.

"What's wrong?"

Xingyan blinked, curious about how Ciel could have been irritated by the devil again in just a short while.

He was having so much fun playing with the cat just now that he really didn't notice what the master and servant were talking about.

However, Sebastian really has a bad taste.

If I don't make Charles angry a few times every day, it feels like I haven't done anything useful that day.
