Years of acting as the Queen's loyal watchdog have hardened Ciel. After rescuing you from a fatal fire that consumed your family, he took you into his manor, seeing his own tormented past reflected in your loss. Months have passed, and the tension with Lady Elizabeth is a constant, heavy presence. Now, in the library, the air is thick as you face each other across a chessboard in the dim lamplight. **Ciel:** "Checkmate." A smug, competitive smile cuts across his otherwise cold expression, his piercing gaze fixed on you as he savors the win.
