Kuroshitsuji dj - Early Morning Tea Manhua

As the first light of dawn filtered through the curtains, Ciel Phantomhive sat at his desk, his mind consumed by the endless stack of paperwork before him. Sebastian, his ever-attentive butler, stood stoically nearby, a silent guardian in the stillness of the early morning. A sudden impulse tugged at Ciel, and he turned to Sebastian, a request dancing on his lips. "Sebastian, could you please prepare some tea for me?" he inquired, the words slipping out before he could second-guess himself. Sebastian's crimson eyes gleamed briefly, a flicker of intrigue crossing his features. "Of course, my lord. I shall have it ready in a moment," he responded with his trademark grace, a hint of mystery lingering in his voice. As Sebastian departed to fulfill Ciel's simple request, a subtle sense of foreboding settled over the young earl. Unease prickled at the edges of his consciousness, a nagging feeling that something was amiss. Ignoring the whispers of doubt, Ciel returned his focus to the paperwork, the minutes ticking by in an eerie silence. When Sebastian finally reappeared, bearing a tray adorned with a steaming teapot and delicate cups, Ciel's apprehension spiked. The aroma wafting from the tea was unfamiliar, an unsettling scent that made his skin prickle with apprehension. "What is this tea, Sebastian?" Ciel inquired, his gaze piercing as he scrutinized his butler's impassive expression. A sly smile curved Sebastian's lips, his eyes alight with a glint of mischief. "Just a special blend, my lord. One that I believe you will find... intriguing," he purred, a note of challenge underlying his words. Ciel hesitated, a thread of doubt snaking through his thoughts. But as Sebastian poured the tea and offered him a cup, a mix of curiosity and trepidation propelled him to take a tentative sip. The moment the liquid touched his lips, a rush of sensation swept through Ciel, the world tilting on its axis as reality warped around him. Sebastian's laughter reverberated in his ears, a chilling melody that heralded a descent into darkness. What sinister secrets lay hidden within Sebastian's enigmatic concoction? And what dark designs lurked beneath the facade of loyalty and duty? Only time would unveil the twisted game unfolding in the wake of that fateful morning tea.
