It had been two days since Almira visited and they were on they're way to the Phantomhive manor. she wore a black áo, áo khoác over her uniform and Annie was in her black dress which was lined with red. It was her yêu thích dress. Akira wasn't to fond of Vincent Phantomhive, he reminded her to much of her brother. She didn't like her brother much either. he was the yêu thích in her family and as such he was respected while she was thrown aside "Akira?" Akira took her eyes from the window and looked across the carriage to Annie.


"Yes?" đã đưa ý kiến Akira as she smiled the best she could. "You were spacing out, is something wrong?" Asked Annie. Akira shook her head, still smiling "No, I am fine my lady" She replied. Annie nodded then sighed while closing her eyes "The watchdog is quite bothersome. He is supposed to be the head detective so why should he need my help?" Asked Annie. Akira just kept smiling. They arrived at the Phantomhive manor a bit later and Akira stepped out of the carriage and held her hand out to Annie. Annie took her hand and gracefully stepped out of the carriage, her hair getting blown back and forth slowly from the breeze. The wind was blowing lightly and the sun was hidden bởi clouds.


Green leaves and small flowers blew past them and the garden's hoa hồng were blooming brightly, a beautiful blueish-white color painting the fragile petals. Vincent walked toward them with a smile on his face "Lady Annie! What a pleasure to see bạn again!" He said. Annie gave a small smile which looked thêm like a smirk and bowed slightly, "You as well, lord Vincent" she replied. Akira bowed while giving a small smile "It is an honor to be in your presence Earl Phantomhive" She Said, "Shall we head inside?" Asked Vincent. Annie nodded and they began walking inside the manor. They sat across from each other in the living room, a small bàn infront of them and both sitting in armchairs, Akira standing slightly behind Annie.


The smell of trà filled the room as Vincent's butler Tanaka brought in a tray with a teapot and two cups. He placed it on the bàn and poured the trà into the white and blue teacups before handing it to each of them. Annie sipped the trà and set it down on the bàn before looking at Vincent, her eyes hiển thị how serious she was, "I understand our case is involving the death of children, but there is still information that bạn have I must hear before I can be useful in helping bạn solve this case, would bạn mind informing me on what bạn have gathered?" Asked Annie.


Vincent nodded while setting his trà down as well "Each victim has many cuts we see as unnecessary, bruises on they're wrists and ankles and a lot of blood loss. We are still investigating the scene" đã đưa ý kiến Vincent. Annie looked at him face clear of emotion then she looked down and chuckled

"Ah I see, so the watchdog has Mất tích his ability to solve even this? The Queen must be disappointed" She said. Vincent kept a smile on his face as she đã đưa ý kiến this but Annie and Akira could both see the bit of sadness in his features, "Now, shall we go and look at the scene?" Asked Annie as she stood up and began walking toward the door "Yes of course" Replied Vincent as he stood and followed her. Akira smirked slightly then grabbed her áo, áo khoác and walked after them
