When Ciel finished his breakfast, he leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to my forehead.
"See you later, love," he whispered, his voice warm but unreadable as always.
As soon as he stepped out and the door clicked shut behind him, I dropped the act. I finished the rest of my food in quick, quiet bites, barely tasting it. The moment the plate was empty, I stood up, heart already picking up speed.
This was my chance.
I crept upstairs, careful not to make a sound, every step echoing with a mix of guilt and determination. I had to find something—anything—about Ciel, this house, or whatever secrets he was hiding.
Whatever this place really was.
Meanwhile, in the Dark Market of the Demon Realm

Why can't I find anything on those creatures that attacked Clara?
