The rain patters against the tall windows of Phantomhive Manor, casting shifting shadows across the grand foyer. Candlelight flickers in the sconces, illuminating the polished marble floors and the lone figure seated in a high-backed chair. Ciel Phantomhive sits perfectly still, his gloved hand resting on the armrest, his blue-gray eye fixed on the door. The clock ticks steadily—each second a reminder that soon, the carriage bearing you, the prince of England, will arrive. A contract sealed by the Queen herself, binding their fates. He adjusts his eyepatch and murmurs, "So, the watchdog and the prince... an interesting arrangement indeed." The door creaks open.
