"Good morning!"
Xingyan went downstairs in the morning and saw Xiaer doing morning exercises in the yard. He smiled and waved to him.
"Good morning, Your Excellency the Duke!"
When Charles saw Xingyan, he quickly put away the knife in his hand, ran to the door, and led the person into the house.
The wind was a bit strong today. Although he knew that it might not be a big deal, he was reluctant to let His Excellency the Duke be disturbed by the messy wind.
"Are you ready to eat?"
Xingyan had slept very well before, and now he is full of energy, exuding the aura of a child.
At the dining table, Sebastian was serving breakfast to each guest.
In front of Xingyan was a serving of steamed dumplings, porridge and tea eggs.
This breakfast made Liu and Lanmao next to him look at it a few more times, as if they were curious about why Xingyan's breakfast was different.
...
...
"I just made beef dumplings. I hope Your Excellency the Duke will like them."
Sebastian put down his breakfast, looked down at Xingyan, and smiled particularly brightly.
"I trust Sebastian's cooking."
Xingyan nodded and waved his hand to let Sebastian continue with his work.
He was just having a simple breakfast, but this special treatment from the demon butler attracted everyone's attention.
Especially the Indian prince sitting diagonally opposite, and the prince's butler.
"Um...Excuse me, don't we have this soup dumplings?"
The Indian prince looked at the dumplings and wanted some too.
But, unfortunately, this was the only portion available this morning, and even Liu and Blue Cat from the East didn’t get to eat it.
“It tastes great!”
Xingyan quickly finished his breakfast and gave Sebastian an appreciative look.
Delicious food, he always liked it.
I don’t know what’s going to happen, Lucifer left again this morning.
I hope the game between demons and gods won’t spread to the human world too soon.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Lord Earl. Sorry for disturbing you. We will go back now."
After breakfast, Liu left Phantomhive's house with the blue cat.
The Indian prince then left with his butler.
After that, the only guests were Elizabeth and Edward, and Grayer, who always hid behind a pillar and was not seen by other normal humans.
"Char... "
After breakfast, Elizabeth stopped Charles who was about to go upstairs.
"Elizabeth, what's wrong?"
Charles stopped and looked back at Elizabeth. There was no emotion in his eyes, and he didn't even give her a glimmer of hope.
He believed that he had made it very clear more than two years ago, and had also told Elizabeth's parents that the engagement could be canceled at any time, and he did not mind giving up a little on his reputation.
Unfortunately, the other party seemed to think that the concession he had originally proposed was still something that could be changed.
"Ciel, you...do you hate me so much?"
Elizabeth's eyes were filled with tears. She really didn't understand why everything changed suddenly.
Charles used to be so nice, why did he no longer like her after that big incident?
"The Charles who loved you died a long time ago."
Charles looked at the other person coldly, once again emphasizing this fact.
But unfortunately, Elizabeth seemed completely unwilling to accept this answer.
"Charles, you bastard, I'm telling you, I will never give up the engagement, you can only be mine!"
Elizabeth cried and shouted a few words, then ran out of Phantomhive's house.
Behind her, Edward had a look of anger on his face, but because of Charles' mocking look, he ended up saying nothing and turned around to chase after his sister.
"Your aunt hasn't given up yet?"
Xingyan was lying on the railing on the second floor, watching everything happen, and showed concern when Ciel raised his head.
"They know that I'm not my brother, but they think that since I've come back alive, I should live the life they think my brother should live. What a disgusting group of people!"
Charles felt unhappy when he talked about this.
His life has been written and manipulated since he was born. Now that he has finally broken free from the shackles, how could he possibly become someone's substitute?
If he had the chance, he would want his brother back, but he would never let himself become his brother's shadow.
He is just himself, a man who has seen light and darkness, and has goals and dreams!
"What brother?"
Grayer poked his head out from behind the pillar and looked at Charles with a confused expression.
How come he didn't know that Charles had an older brother? Wasn't he the only heir to the Earl's family?
"So, you only know that the Phantomhive family has only one heir, and his name is Ciel Phantomhive, right?"
Charles was stunned for a moment, turned around to look at Grayer, and suddenly raised his hands to cover his face, and a low laugh gradually appeared.
Even the God of Death didn't know that the Phantomhive family was originally twins.
No, it's normal for the God of Death not to know. After all, his Death Note was not in the God of Death's Library from the beginning.
But it wasn't that no one knew about it. He remembered that he was taken out once or twice, but because he was too weak, he was never taken to parties and events again.
Even when he was at home, he often stayed in the house. When guests came, only his parents and his brother would go to greet them...
"No, no, I don't know much about this place, I don't mean anything else..."
Grayer was a little confused. He just asked casually, why did he irritate this boy?
Your Excellency the Duke, please comfort him quickly. If William sees him, he will accuse him of causing trouble in the world and he will be taken back and put in solitary confinement again!
He finally got out, he doesn't want to go back!
"It's alright, Grell. Have you found the retired Grim Reaper who's been hiding in London?"
Ciel knew who the retired Grim Reaper was, but until now, he had acted as if he didn't know.
Therefore, since Grayer is the god of death and is also in William's group, it is normal for him to ask them about this aspect.
"No...Don't let Sebastian go find William. I'm going to find the information about the retired Grim Reaper now!"
It seemed that Grell had been taught a bad lesson last time. He was afraid of the two teenagers here, but couldn't help but want to get closer out of curiosity.
Now, after seeing Charles' question, the young duke on the second floor smiled strangely. He immediately made his position clear and then ran out of the window.
He must find clues about the retired Grim Reaper or something, a guy from nowhere, otherwise, he will continue to be targeted by the young Duke.
His Death Saw was confiscated, and this time, because he was not on a mission, he couldn't even apply for the most basic tools...
So miserable!
