"Of course it's for Count Phantomhive. Madam Red cares a lot about her nephew. Now she wants Phantomhive to reconnect with the nobles. I'm just here to join in the fun... Well, since the Count has guessed it, I admit it, but I can't say it."
Viscount Dolit's expression became serious and he talked about Madam Red's purpose.
However, after seeing the mockery in Xingyan's eyes, he nodded. Although he did not say certain words, he confirmed some of Xingyan's guesses.
He came to this party with a mission.
However, with His Excellency the Duke here, he can give up all his tasks!
"I hope nothing happens tonight. I'm just here to attend a party and don't want to see any bloody scenes. After all, I'm still a child."
Xingyan yawned, fell on Grimmjow's arms, and looked at the door of the lounge with narrowed eyes.
There will be no shortage of farce tonight.
Phantomhive was destroyed before, and many people were celebrating happily.
But now, the Phantomhive family has returned, and the queen's watchdog will become the nightmare of many people.
...
...
In this context, Her Majesty the Queen still has a very strong grip on power, and she wants more.
Count Charles Phantomhive is the only heir to the current Phantomhive family. If he dies, the family will come to an end.
"Master, Count Phantomhive's carriage was attacked three times on the road..."
Chi Tong walked in and reported the information he had just received to Xing Yan in a low voice.
"Poor Charles, he must be terrified, what bad luck..."
Xing Yan laughed after hearing this, but there was no trace of sympathy in his words on his face.
"That little dwarf..."
Viscount Dorit felt that Charles was really unlucky. He was threatened by so many people just after his return.
However, he quite likes watching plays.
"Charles!"
Outside the lounge, a girl's surprised cheer was heard, causing Xingyan to put down the juice and look over.
She was the fiancée of Ciel Phantomhive, but not the current Ciel.
"Elizabeth!"
Just as Charles was about to walk to the lounge, he was suddenly hugged by a figure and almost fell to the ground.
Tilting his head to look into the lounge, Charles discovered that he actually saw mockery in the Duke's eyes.
Although he didn't know whether the taunt was directed at him or at Elizabeth who was hugging him, this look made him feel a chill down his spine in an instant.
He is the present Ciel Phantomhive, but he is not the Ciel of the past, nor is he the fiancé that Elizabeth has always loved.
"Charles, you've been ignoring me lately. You didn't even reply to the letters I wrote to you..."
Elizabeth was still hugging Charles and acting coquettishly. When Charles just came back, she found that she was taller than him, so she changed into flat shoes on purpose, and she still did so even at the party.
"I'm sorry, Elizabeth. I need to go greet the Duke. Please let me go first."
Charles looked at Elizabeth, who had an aggrieved expression, pushed her away, and walked towards the lounge.
Behind him, Elizabeth clenched her fingers and stared at Charles' back, wondering what she was thinking.
"Your Majesty the Duke."
After entering the room, Charles walked to Xingyan and sat down consciously, completely ignoring Viscount Dolit.
"I heard that you encountered many assassinations on the road, and your carriage broke down. Do you want to come with me when you go back? My carriage is quite spacious."
Xingyan looked at Elizabeth who was still watching outside the lounge, and then told Charles about the arrangements for returning home.
Xingyan had no intention of offering any advice on the matter between Charles and Elizabeth, but there was one thing that Charles had to discover early.
In that girl's eyes, all that existed was the past Ciel Phantomhive.
As long as there is evidence to prove that the current Charles is not the real Charles, and if the past Charles appears again, she will definitely stand on the other side.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Your Excellency the Duke. I was originally worried that if I let Sebastian carry me back home, would his legs be broken..."
Ciel glanced at Sebastian, as if to let you go.
In response, Sebastian maintained his standard butler smile, stood straight behind them, and didn't even say a word in response.
This reaction made Charles, who had been feeling proud at first, suddenly glare in dissatisfaction. However, because there was a viscount present, he could not find fault too directly.
"Sebastian, how long have you slept before, and how long have you been away from home?"
Lucifer looked at the two children drinking juice and suddenly remembered something. He waved Sebastian to come over and talk.
"I slept for a long time before, I think it was about 6,000 or 7,000... I can't remember clearly."
Sebastian shook his head. He himself didn't know how much time it would take.
He only woke up occasionally to play, and spent most of his time in deep sleep, so did he really miss some big things in hell?
"Come back when you have time. You're almost becoming that guy because you always like to sleep."
Lucifer's mouth twitched. He now really felt that this demon was also infected by that guy.
They just sleep all day long and participate in the usual games to some extent. Otherwise, those of them who cannot sleep for too long will feel particularly bored.
"You are right. After I take good care of the young master, I will go back and take a look."
Sebastian thought about it and said that he would go back after he ate after Ciel died.
"You can take him back too."
Lucifer generously said that you might not be able to eat it, so you can take Charles to hell with you.
Although there are almost no humans in hell, if you really bring them back, he is willing to give them a pass.
"I'll give it a try first. If I can't do it, I'll ask you for help."
Sebastian smiled and lowered his head. He didn't think that he would not be able to eat it.
However, he did not reject Lord Lucifer's kindness. After all, he really did not see what the future would be like this time.
"You should investigate that girl. Her existence might make your master sad."
After saying what needed to be said, Lucifer gave Sebastian one last reminder and then waved his hand to let him go back.
As for the little girl outside...
It's useless to be nice to someone who already has someone to be loyal to.
He also went to see the Grim Reaper these days. The Grim Reaper who claimed to be retired but actually escaped for some reason was holding a lot of strange things in his hands.
Especially the body of the one named Ciel Phantomhive in the past.
