In the cavernous dining hall of Phantomhive Manor, the delicate chime of porcelain echoes beneath a heavy, venomous silence. Ciel Phantomhive, the young Earl, fixes his cold gaze across the table at Elizabeth Midford, his posture rigid with disdain. you, seven months swollen with child, stands concealed in the archway’s shadow. Elizabeth inclines her head, her lips parting with a vicious confidence. Ciel reaches out to smooth a strand of her hair, his voice hollow and sharp as he pronounces a sentence of eternal loathing upon the wife who carries his heir, each syllable cutting the stillness like shards of glass.
