"My Lord, the attire of your distinguished guest seems somewhat familiar."
Liu from the East, hugged his blue cat girl, stood at the stairs, waiting for Charles to come down from upstairs.
He had noticed just now that the Duke's manners, clothing, and food preferences were all more oriental.
"The Duke lived in the East when he was young, and he likes the culture and food there very much. However, you should not have any ideas about taking advantage of him."
Charles looked at Liu. This guy has had some problems lately.
However, as long as this guy is controlled well, there will be no problem in using it.
What is really troublesome are some European nobles who hold high positions and seem to be bowing to the Queen recently.
"Randall, where are you going?"
Mrs. Red suddenly raised her voice, attracting everyone's attention and also noticing Randall who was about to open the door and leave.
Arthur Randall, governor of Scotland Yard.
...
...
"Sorry, I'm going out to smoke a cigarette. There are children here and I can't disturb them."
Randall took out a cigarette and matches from his pocket, shook them, and put them back into his pocket.
"I just happened to have the same idea. Then I'll accompany Lord Randall, right, Blue Cat?"
After seeing this scene, Liu Zai took the blue cat girl's arm and walked down the stairs.
He also picked up his pipe and shook it, leaving Randall with a gloomy face. He nodded and asked him to go to the yard with him.
After they left, Mrs. Red walked to the window and looked at the two people who were smoking and chatting in the yard. She always felt that something was going to happen.
However, she has something else to do now and has to leave early.
"Your Excellency the Duke, I have to go to the hospital to perform surgery on a patient tomorrow morning. I have to leave today. I am very sorry."
Before leaving, Madam Red brought her recently recruited butler Grayer to apologize to the young Duke who was sitting on the sofa eating snacks.
A few guests were not quite understanding of her reaction, but they just didn't understand it for the time being. Soon they quietly gossiped about the incident at the Red Lady's banquet two years ago.
"Charles, let me tell you, your party will definitely be disturbed if I'm here."
Xingyan watched Charles see off Madam Hong and then sit down next to him. He asked Chitong to prepare a glass of milk for Charles, then looked towards the direction of the door with a smile.
"They all thought that I would take action directly this time, so now they haven't waited for anything and are a little anxious."
Charles looked down at the cup of milk in his hand, smiled, picked it up and drank it in one gulp.
He just has to wait for some people to lose their patience and jump out.
"Don't worry, just take your time. Some things don't have to be uncovered by you. It might be more interesting to let the guys from the National Police Agency take the credit away from you."
Looking at this banquet that has lost much meaning, the more innocent Xing Yan's smile is, the more difficult it is for things to be resolved easily.
However, although the banquet has little significance, it can still be lively as long as certain people are there.
For example, Count Dolit's extremely narcissistic laughter made it difficult for those who wanted to leave but couldn't and could only play with him to keep up with the pace.
"I'll go take a look in the yard. Some things can't be given away for free."
Charles stood up, let Sebastian take his coat for him, and walked into the yard with a smile in his eyes.
Even if he knew it was a trap, he would have to make others pay a price before he was qualified to step into that trap.
Moreover, as long as he and the queen don't say anything, no one will be able to tell whether the pit contains poisonous insects or gold, silver and jewels.
"The adult world is so complicated..."
Leaning on the sofa, Xingyan shook his head and sighed, once again confirming that it was good for him to be a child like this.
Let adults play these games slowly. It is not appropriate for a child like me to participate.
"Dear boy, the adult world is very exciting. Are you sure you don't want to join in?"
The laughter could be heard before anyone arrived.
Silver hair covered his face, a tall black hat, a black suit, and a piece of cloth draped over his body...
This is the funeral home. This time, he actually showed up at Phantomhive's house on his own initiative.
Moreover, he walked through the main door and entered the banquet in such a fair and open manner.
"I'm not an adult like you."
This was the first time Xingyan saw the Undertaker in Ciel, and it was also his first formal meeting with the Undertaker.
“Ah? Hahahaha…”
The undertaker seemed to have heard a great joke and fell on the other side of the sofa with his hands on his stomach laughing.
But when he was laughing crazily, his green eyes hidden under his silver hair were fixed on Xing Yan's direction.
"Father, someone has bad intentions towards your son. As a father, are you sure you want to keep watching?"
Xingyan did not take action himself, nor did he ask Grimmjow to come out. Instead, at this time, he called the person next to him and pointed at him with his eyes, which scared the funeral home so much that he sat up straight.
"Boy, this joke is not funny at all!"
The funeral home looked at the man sitting next to Xing Yan, and in an instant he felt his whole body soaked in cold sweat.
This little kid, who is he calling father?
No wonder he couldn't find the information he wanted. If he was that person's son, everything would seem understandable.
But he didn't understand how that person could have a child, and a purebred human with absolutely no genes from other races.
"We are father and son, do you think this is a joke?"
Behind Lucifer, there was a shadow of his real body flickering. Although it was only visible in the funeral home, the atmosphere of this banquet hall was no longer very friendly to humans.
“A bit cold...”
Xingyan's words calmed Lucifer's breath, and he took off his coat and covered Xingyan with it.
On the other side of the banquet, Count Dorit and others who were still chatting had not noticed anything unusual here so far. They just thought that a cool breeze was blowing in through the window.
"I'm sorry, I don't know the relationship between the two of you, but I still don't understand why you are concerned about the future of Count Phantomhive."
After struggling for a long time, the funeral home finally couldn't bear it anymore and decided to come to the Uchiha Duke to ask for clarification.
But he went to the Duke's Palace not far away and didn't see anyone, so he ran to Phantomhive's house to take a look.
Regardless of whether he was Lucifer's son or not, he wanted to know what was wrong with Ciel's soul!
"Because, the one Ciel is loyal to is me, so his future, his soul, his fate, should not be controlled by other creatures, whether they are humans, the god of death, demons, or angels..."
Xingyan tilted his head and leaned on Lucifer's arm. The big coat made him look even smaller.
But the attitude of this little boy at this moment was extremely wanton and flamboyant.
