"Are you kidding me?" Ciel Phantomhive says as he rereads the letter he has in his hands over and over again. "She...she can't be serious!"

His right eye twitches, while his butler, Sebastian Michaelis, looks over his shoulder to see what the letter says. A large grin appears on his face.

"It appears that she is, my lord," Sebastian says with a hint of amusement. "For it seems that your queen wants you to find the long lost holy grail."

Ciel clutches the letter tightly.

"But...but why?!" he questions. "It is bloody pointless! What...what can she possibly gain by going after this useless artifact?!"

"Well, one of England's greatest kings went after it," Sebastian notes thoughtfully. "The great King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table went on a great journey hoping to contain it, since it was supposedly brought to England long ago but then was later forgotten."

He pauses.

"You know, if this grail was so important to you humans, shouldn't you have protected it better?"

Ciel growls and glares at Sebastian.

"But that is just a fable, a legend. It can't all be true."

He pauses for a moment.

"However, if Great Britain were to get its hands on the holy grail, it would be a great achievement for us in the history of Christianity and people all over the world would want to see it, adding more tourism to the country..."

He loses his words, as he partly answers his own question. Ciel sighs heavily, rubbing his forehead like he has a migraine. Sebastian smiles.

"So, are we going after this holy grail, my lord?"

Ciel sighs again.

"...Do you have any idea where it could be before we go on a wild goose chase, Sebastian?" he asks.

Sebastian is silent for a moment, clearly deep in thought.

"Specifically, no, I do not. However, I do believe if we go to one of the ancient castles, since it was supposedly kept it one, in the countryside, I could get some clues to its location."

"So you will be able to get this done quickly?" Ciel questions.

Sebastian smiles.

"Young master, if I couldn't find a simple grail then what kind of butler would I be? In the name of the Phantomhive family, I will achieve this holy grail for you and your queen. ...Even though I am a demon and probably shouldn't touch such a holy item that you humans really adore, but I will do it nevertheless."

Ciel rolls his eyes.

"Good. Now, let's get a carriage setup and get everything organized so that we may go to one of these castles. You got that, Sebastian?"

Sebastian gets down on one knee and bows.

"Yes, my lord."

He then gets back up and leaves the room. Ciel watches him go, a part of him feeling that this task is going to be far more difficult than it should be.
