An angel and a demon rested on both Ciel's shoulders.

To think that an angel and a demon could ever co-exist was blasphemous. And that was coming from a demon himself. But of course, there must always be a balance between good and evil. Heaven and hell, the sins and the virtues.

Even if Ciel was under contract with Sebastian, that didn't mean an angel could easily break such vows with sweet silver words. But this angel maintains their distance, for the time being, that is, so long as Sebastian could help it.

Working with this angel was a pain, even for a demon that knows great patience to await a very rewarding festive dinner of souls.

"I assure you, the likes of you should do none of these chores." The deep voice of the butler rang in the kitchen's air. "I can do my work, as my master has ordered me to."

"Yes, but as the new head maid, I wish to be of service to the young lord as well," You responded, the smile on your lips ever so kind, but leaked such venomous words. "Or do you wish for your lord to have incompetent service in his manor?"

Finn, Mey-Rin, and Bard just looked back and forth between the two adults, like a game of tennis, as the two adults began their strings of backhanded compliments. While it was fascinating, it was also terrifying for the other servants to see someone go head-to-head with Sebastian of all people.

And for once, the demon was annoyed. Normally, he would mimic such behavior, and it took so much for him to even let himself be seen as angry, much less annoyed. Yet there was always a first time for everything.
