episode 4 his butler capricious part 1
As the results go, you'll cross-dress as a guy and Ciel still cross-dress as a girl
It was a foggy day in London, you and Ciel sat inside a carriage. Joe and Sebastian sat up front driving 'so madam red eh, well I'm going to save her even if she doesn't live to the Alois part, she deserves to make up for everything' you thought glancing at Ciel. he was looking at the queen's letter, the silence was a comfortable silence.
Soon the town house came into view Sebastian parked the carriage and helped you both out. "Thank you," you told him smiling at him, he smiled back "I hate this, there are too many people in London," Ciel said Sebastian opened the front door. "Well, it is one of the biggest cities in England, it can't be helped" Joe nodded to your explanation. "Yes, lady (name) is right there is no helping it my lord" he closed the door after everyone had entered "it is tradition for the nobility to migrate to the city every season" Joe explained. "Yes, he's right, the parties and such mother and father do this they take Elizabeth, Edward being at school gets him out of it well except when he's home and me well you're my excuse" you smiled at him Ciel glanced back blushing a little at you smiling.
"The season eh, a waste of time if you ask me," Ciel said as you all walked up the stairs. 'Why not keep the living room on the ground floor rather than the first floor?' you thought "getting away from the manor could prove a nice change of pace" it was then an image of the servants popped up. "it's a break from those 4 at least" Sebastian said 'wait you mean 3, right? Tanaka is harmless' you thought. "The one upside to this is the peace and quiet" Joe added. "Yes, you are right Joe, we can enjoy some peace and quiet" Sebastian smiled. "Yes, some peace and quiet does sound nice," Ciel said, as he opened the door it showed the room a mess Lau, Grell and madam red looking through things, Evonie wasn't looking at anything 'it's like a bombs gone off! at least Evonie has manners' you thought.
"Goodness sake! where do they keep the tea in this house?" madam red said as she looked through a cabinet and threw a book out. "I can't find it either," Lau said as he looked inside a vase, you, Sebastian, Ciel and Joe had a really look, behind you the writing some peace and quiet. "don't be silly of course it's not in there ugh!" madam red told Lau. "Madam red, Lau what are you doing here?!" Ciel exclaimed still having a shocked look on his face. 'That Ciel for you is the million dollar question? for me, I already know' you thought watching this unfold. "Ciel, (name) your early dear" madam red said, as she did Grell turned around looking at you both. "Your appearance in town means only one thing" Lau looked at you both with closed eyes. 'Ok, how the hell can he see! I mean it's like Brock from Pokémon' you thought. "The queen's guard dog and queen's diamond have a new scent to follow" madam red spoke, you noticed Ciel had a I am not amused look.
Joe and Sebastian along with Evonie's help had cleaned everything up, now you were sat around a table having some afternoon tea. Sebastian was stood behind Ciel, Joe behind you "he's struck again, another prostitute was found gruesomely murdered in white chapel" you nodded putting your teacup down. "Yes, this is not normal, how these murders happen and also the level of violence to this is beyond a normal murder, there is more to it than what's likely been told" you added. 'I can drop hints but not say it's fun for me, if I say oh yes, it's you madam red no fun, no Ciel in the corset, I want front row for that I'm keeping that dress' you thought having some more tea. "Yes, the most recent victim is a woman named Mary Ann Nickoles," Sebastian said telling everyone the name of the woman. "Yes, and from the information, we have so far, a special type of blade was used to commit the crime, which sadly resulted in her being torn up beyond recognition" Joe added. you nodded "that's right" you saw the name of today's sweet, which was an orchard fruit pie.
You took a bite of the pie 'if I ever do go back to the real world, I am asking death to give me every single recipe, Sebastian has in a cookbook, also why the hell has an unofficial cookbook never been released!' you thought to yourself. "The murder's distinctive style of killing has earned them a unique nickname from the press" "jack the ripper" you finished Ciel's sentence. the scene showed a person holding a bloody knife with blood dripping off, you nodded "yes but also who is to say it isn't a woman, but having a man commit the crimes but we won't know who they are until we catch them" you said taking a sip of tea. "a frighting name, eh?" Lau said Evonie and Grell were standing behind madam red, who held her cup of tea "that is why we are here, we hurried into town to take a look at this situation ourselves" Ciel explained. "Although he did ask, I stay at the manor, but the letter was to us both so I came too" Ciel glanced at you he didn't want you to come, but as you said the letter was addressed to you both and there wasn't much, he could do about that.
Lau put his cup down and smiled looking at you both, this kind of creped you out a little "are you sure enough you'll be brave enough to see the crime scene?" he asked you and Ciel "what do you mean by that?" Ciel asked, you left him to it "the sight of the dismembered body will certainly be horrific" Lau said as he stood up. 'I have seen worse, I mean horror films heck Higurashi is worse than that, especially the first season' you thought. Lau got up "one can only imagine the stench, blood and gore everywhere" he started to walk over. "It would be more than enough to drive some men mad" he stopped by yours and Ciel's chair. "Some men yes, but not women we are stronger than men in some aspects, like oh childbirth" you comment to Lau having some more tea.
"Are you ready to see such a thing? your both just a young boy and girl" he touched each of your cheeks. "I am the head of the Phantomhives and service to my queen! don't ask foolish questions" Ciel told him, you looked at Lau dead in his closed eyes and said "I am the next lady Phantomhive, and the queens diamond it will take a lot more to break me, after all, diamonds are known to be the strongest gemstone, they break others not the other way around, if I could not handle things I would not be here, I'd play the ignorant fiancé, believing Ciel was away on work for his company, do not underestimate me because I am a girl Lau" you slightly glared. madam red had a slight smirk at your speech, even Evonie did, you would not let anyone say you shouldn't be doing things a man should do, if needed you'd start the movements about women being equals now, not caring if it messed everything up.
"Your right so sorry," Lau told you both you gave a small nod. madam red had some tea, you got up dusting yourself down "now that's settled let's go, the sooner we sort this out the better and safer women can sleep and walk back at night alone, no woman should be scared to walk about alone" madam red nodded, and soon you were all in London at the crime scene, as expected a lot of people where there trying to look. 'And it never changes, no matter the time period people will always want to look' you thought you walked over with Ciel, Joe and Sebastian behind you both. "I'm sorry you two, I'm afraid a crime scene is no place for a child" you glanced at Ciel when you were told that, you knew him being called a child was a sore spot for him. "Now why don't you both just run along home," the man told you "We are here to see the victim's body," Ciel told him.
"The body!?" they exclaimed in shock and looked at the two of you, "surely your kidding?" "Abberline!" you looked seeing sir Arthur, this caused Abberline to look at his superior. "Well, if it isn't lord Phantomhive, and lady (name) what are you doing here?" sir Arthur asked. "You know these kids, sir?" Abberline asked him. Ciel now had a smirk on his face "were here to help sir Arthur, it seems your investigation is dragging a bit" Ciel informed them, you showed the letter and said "yes, you know as well as we do, we do not get involved unless asked to, and it seems the queen has asked us to assist you, so please allow us to do what is needed so please and thank you" you smiled at them. Ciel just took the file from Abberline, you took a look with him as did Joe and Sebastian "from what I've read no clue" you told Ciel, who nodded "yes seems as though they have not found any major clues at all" sir Arthur took the report back, saying "we at Scotland yard are more than capable of handling this case alone, and no need for you to interfere"
"Splendid shall we go (name), Sebastian, Joe" you took Ciel's arm and nodded "of course, we will help sir Arthur, if it's wanted or not" Sebastian and Joe followed you both out leaving stunned Abberline. madam red, Lau, Grell and Evonie followed as well "now what dear?" madam red asked you both. "Now we go see someone who may be useful," Ciel told her, you nodded "yes that is best, I mean with the yard not being too cooperative, that is the last resort" "my lord you mean?" Lau asked "yes indeed" you and Ciel replied at the same time. 'If this was the manga, I am not sure I could look at him the same, it would take all I have not to do something to ruin everything' you thought. soon everyone was at Undertakers "where are we?" Lau asked oblivious and slightly confused. "You don't know! then what was that all about?" madam red asked angrily.
"it's a funeral parlour run by an acquaintance of my lord and lady" Sebastian explained. "The Undertaker" Evonie read aloud the sign. Joe opened the door for you all to go into the shop, "if we are looking for answers this is the place" you nodded. "yes as Ciel said, this is the place his information is never wrong, a little cryptic in but never wrong" you explained inside all you could see where coffins, it was then an eerie giggle came "welcome, I thought I'd be seeing you before long" a voice seemed to say but no person in sight, causing Grell, Lau, madam red and Evonie to look around a little unnerved at the voice, wondering who it was and where it came from.
It was then a coffin lid moved "my lord, (name) it's so lovely to see you both" the lid came off to reveal Undertaker in a standing-up coffin, the eye that was visible had a glint in it, a shocked look on Lau, madam red, Evonie and Grell's face. Grell was now sitting on the floor, you and Ciel just looked at Undertaker who had a mad man's grin on his face. "So do I finally have the pleasure of fitting you for one of me coffins today then eh?" he asked Ciel. you rolled your eyes this was normal for him, "that isn't why I'm here" Ciel told him in a bored tone.
"No need to say," Undertaker told him as he put a finger to Ciel's lips. "I'm already aware" "of course you are, aren't you always," you told him. "Oh yes very well aware, one of my new customers was very unusual shall we say," he said as he looked at you. "I helped though and made her look beautiful again" he gushed as he put his hands near his mouth. 'Ok, those nails! how can he use them to do anything? I remember having false nails and I found it so hard to do certain things' you thought. "I would like the details please," Ciel asked, you nodded "if you please" you smiled at him. "I see now! the funeral parlour is a cover business" Lau said explaining everything. "How much is it for information?" he asked, one of Undertaker's eyes shone "he's done it now" you whispered to Ciel who nodded. Undertaker was over by Lau like a shot causing Grell, Evonie, madam red and Lau to pale a little, and Lau to bend backwards slightly.
"I have no need for the queen's coins, I have only one thing I need from you!" after he said that he looked at you and Ciel, eyes shining with a madman's grin. Ciel had a slight sweat drop on the back of his head, Undertaker shot to him holding his face "please my lord, give it to me and I'll tell you anything!" he was drooling, and had slight heavy breathing. you sighed "now, now begging really just ask, you're too easy to amuse," you told Undertaker, you knew just saying a certain word and he'd giggle like a madman. behind Undertaker was now a purple wall with smiling faces on. "Please give me the extraordinary gift of true Laughter, just one joke and all the information is yours!" he said drooling, there was now glitter on the scene behind him. "he's acting like a dog," you told Joe, who chuckled and nodded agreeing with you.
Undertaker was now moving side to side hugging himself "lunatic" you looked at Ciel. "In a way he is, but still he has what we need," you told him. "Leave it to me, my lord," Lau said stepping forward to tell a joke. "Here is my joke, a classic" the background now a spotlight on him. "On which side does a tiger have the most stripes? the outside" a white tiger was now behind Lau, but that did not make Undertaker Laugh or anyone. "That was a dad joke if ever I heard it" you whispered to Joe, he nodded and whispered back "not even funny, or one you get from a Christmas cracker what you told me" You nodded agreeing it was so bad. Undertaker didn't Laugh no one did "get it?" Lau asked, oh they got it but didn't find it funny "ha?" he looked at you, Ciel, Sebastian and Joe "ha-ha?" he asked.
Madam red stepped forward "my turn," she said confidently smirking. "I live for gossip" the background now blue and teal sparkles. "you'll Laugh so hard your simply curl up and die!" a Chibi Grell behind with a shocked face. "I'd cover their ears," Evonie told Sebastian and Joe who nodded and did so, 'meh I've heard worse, but still under 18 here and I don't think I wanna hear this gossip thank you' you thought. (I could not be bothered writing her joke) it was then TV static came, and madam red and Lau had face masks on with big red crosses. yours and Ciel's ears uncovered you looked at her "I think that gossip was 18+ and should be saved for your circle of friends a good try though" you reassured her. Grell was a little pale now, Undertaker had his fingers intertwined together "now (name), and my lord it looks like you're the only ones left" Ciel was not amused.
"I gave you a special discount last time, but I won't be doing it again," he told you. "that's fair, I mean I have a few words that get you to Laugh but I think I'll let Ciel handle this" he kind of glared and growling a little. Sebastian stepped forward "it can't be helped" he tugged on one of his black gloves, you and Ciel looked at him "Sebastian?" Ciel asked. Undertaker seemed satisfied "everyone please wait outside" he looked at everyone with a serious look. "No matter what happens, do not attempt to listen in" it came out as an order. so, everyone made their way outside 'ugh I need to know! I owe it to every fan out there to find out what the joke or sketch was he did, I do! I do! I do!' you thought and looked at Joe and smirked. "Oh Joe, be a dear and find out for me what he said later ok" Joe looked at you. he chuckled at you "I'll try my best, that's all I can do, but he may not even tell me, but if I do find out then I will" he smiled at you which you smiled back.
After a few moments of silence, the sound of Undertakers Laugh came echoing out causing the sign to fall down, followed by the sound of the lock being unlocked and the door opening showing Sebastian smiling. "Please do come back in now, I believe he will tell us everything we want to know" Sebastian informed you. inside Undertaker was on a coffin giggling to himself with drool a few "oh mys" came from Undertaker. Sebastian moved to the side to let everyone in, madam red and Lau had shocked expressions on their face. "I have now seen the face of ultimate bliss," Undertaker said. once he had calmed down everyone had found a place to sit on a coffin with a beaker of tea, you had refused the tea you did not know what had been in them.
"An interesting pattern I'm seeing these days, I often get customers who are incomplete he-he," Undertaker told them. Lau dipped his teabag in the water, everyone looked at Undertaker "incomplete?" Joe asked "yes the uterus is missing quite odd" Undertaker explained holding a medical dummy. he now had it facing him "the killer makes a big mess of the body, a particular part is always exactly exorcised" he polished the dummy "it is from the reports, also the killer always does the killing on a public road and not a private one" Joe mentioned. Sebastian nodded "yes and not high traffic either, also wouldn't an amateur have a hard time carrying out such a complicated procedure quickly enough?" Sebastian added. "Your cleaver one's butler" Undertaker looked at them smiling putting his dummy down.
He looked at them both "that's exactly what I was thinking" Undertaker walked over to you and Ciel, standing behind you both his hands on yours and Ciel's shoulders. "You see, first he slits her throat with a sharp weapon like this" he ran his finger across Ciel's throat, then he goes to you and put his hand on your stomach. "Then he rips into her right here" he demonstrated on your stomach making a claw with his hands. "Then he takes her precious womanly parts," he says by Ciel's ear, who has a no thank you look, while his cheeks poked. Undertaker stood up saying "there will be more slain, I'm certain sadistic killers like this don't stop until someone stops them" Undertaker walked away then turned around.
"Will you both stop him? can you sniff him out like a good little guard dog?" Undertaker asked you and Ciel. "By the honour of my family I will eliminate any threat the queen asks me to, by any means I find necessary," Ciel tells him. after you all left heading back to the town house Grell and Evonie up front driving. "this information narrows down our suspects," Ciel said, you nodded "yes it does, but not by much it eliminates the everyday person and those of other professions to doctors and those who are surgeons, but in London alone, there's hundreds even thousands of those who travel with the nobles, and also work at say London hospital or privately" you explained.
"yes lady (name) is right my lord, first of all, we need to narrow the list of suspects down to those with the necessary skill set, as lady (name) pointed out its those who are doctors or are surgeons, so anyone with a medical degree is a suspect" "yes, also Sebastian anyone with an alibi of the nights of murders are to be crossed off, so it narrows it down again making it smaller and smaller" Joe added. you nodded "yes removal of the organs would suggest some kind of gruesome ritual" you looked at Sebastian, but glanced at Ciel "so the occult maybe, Joe add that to the suspect, medical skills and connections to the cults and rituals," you told him. Joe nodded at this "yes my lady, you are right but let's also add those connected to secret societies, as they may take the victim and the society takes the organs" you nodded at Sebastian's explanation on that.
"And that narrows the field!" madam red exclaimed "even I have the medical skills necessary for this!" you gave Joe a look of she just confessed, how idiotic. he gave a small nod at this agreeing with you. "Also, with the season is ending soon, any doctors who followed the nobles to the city will be returning with them" madam red explained. "Yes, well then we had better conclude the investigation soon then" Sebastian smiled "impossible" Lau looked at him. "We should be able to do this much at least. it'll be done faster" "yes, as Joe said if not what kind of butler would we be?" both smiled at madam red and Lau, who had a shocked face, you were calm Ciel had a smirk on his face. "Well then let's go, we'll see you back at the town house," Joe told you. which you nodded "I'll make up a list of viable suspects and question them for you my lord," Sebastian told Ciel.
Each opened the doors on either side this caused Grell and Evonie to look at the two. "Now please excuse us, we have some work to do goodbye" Joe told them. Sebastian said "yes please do excuse us" Ciel kept motioning his hand to say just go already, the two jumped out which shocked Lau and madam red, you giggled at their reactions when they looked out the window. "don't they realise we are moving right!?" madam red asked in shock, but they saw nothing when they looked it was as if the two butlers disappeared into thin air. "Sebastian will take care of it, for now as will Joe" you nodded. "Yes, Ciel's right, they know what to do I'm sure by the time we get home for a nice cup of tea, they'll be there waiting and have their job complete" you had a sweet you gave Ciel one.
