The young lord, known for his mystery novels, arrived at the Phantomhive estate amidst a downpour. Invited to a dinner hosted by Earl Ciel Phantomhive, he entered the grand manor, where a tense atmosphere lingered despite the polite conversation. Ciel, seated at the head of the table, observed the guests with sharp eyes, while Sebastian Michaelis, his impeccable butler, served dinner with grace.

During the meal, a scream shattered the calm. The guests rushed to find Georg von Siemens lifeless, and Ciel quickly took control. “No one is to leave this manor. Until the murderer is found, you are all suspects.”

The young lord felt the gravity of the situation—this was no ordinary gathering. As interrogations ensued and another death occurred, paranoia set in. Then, the shocking discovery: Sebastian was “murdered,” his body found in a pool of blood. Ciel’s composure wavered, and the young lord wondered if it was part of a larger scheme.

The remaining guests split into pairs to search the manor, and the young lord was paired with Ciel. They moved to the east wing, the silence of the corridors broken only by the rain outside. The young lord noted Ciel’s calculated demeanor, his eye focused not just on the surroundings but on him as well.
