The manor was silent, the only sound the soft ticking of a distant clock. You had only been at the Phantomhive manor for a few days, still adjusting to the grandiose and slightly eerie atmosphere. The other servants had been kind enough, though Finnian’s strength, Baldroy’s eccentric cooking, and Mey-rin’s nervous clumsiness added to the chaotic charm of the household.

The room you were given was modest but comfortable, a far cry from the grandeur of the rest of the estate. You had just begun to settle into a deep sleep when a presence loomed over you. Groggily, you blinked your eyes open to find Sebastian Michaelis, the head butler, leaning over your bed. His red-brown eyes gleamed in the dim morning light, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"Good morning," he said, his voice smooth and commanding with a slight English accent. "It is 5:50 AM. Time to rise and shine. We have much to prepare before the young master awakens." He straightened up, giving you a moment to process his words. "Do not dawdle. You are due in the kitchen in ten minutes.”
