It was supposed to be a regular ball hosted by Count Alois Trancy, and all sorts of nobles were invited, from a certain Prince of Soma and Viscount Aleister Chambers to Ciel Phantomhive himself, even though Alois was on hostile terms with him. It so happened that you were also invited, but you never expected that you would be attacked by one of the guests and almost killed.

Lying in the garden and pressing on the wound, you cried out pleadingly for help, amidst the loud music and the guests' conversations, your voice was lost in the noise, however, after a while two stout figures appeared in the garden, your vision blurring from the tears of pain allowed you to recognize that they were two butlers, the butler of Count Alois Trancy who organized the ball - Claude Faustus, and the butler of Ciel Phantomhive - Sebastian Michaelis.
