Ahh~ This is pure bliss. I look at the porcelain-skinned, black-haired beauty in front of me that adorned a rose blush on his cheeks and ears, his eyes glistening in the light like emeralds, he was an angel that blessed upon this earth. 

"Ohh myyy~~" I said, giggling gleefully with all my bashfulness. "Why who said you had permission to enter my heart so?~" Ciel raised an eyebrow in slight amusement. "Darrrlingg~ If you were only a few years older I would have just gobbled you up!" I squished my chubby hands into fists to emphasize my desire to do so. I treaded closer to Ciel, desire glazing over my eyes. I traced a finger down the buttons of his shirt (as far as I could reach) and pulled his sleeve to bring his closer. "You know, I wouldn't mind waiting, only for you darling, I could just be convinced into younger men~" I sent him a sultry wink, but both eyes clumsily blinked together. 

"Younger men?" Ciel sputters, taken aback. Ciel became quickly flustered, uncomfortable at my advances and tried to guide me away. 

"Need I remind you we are siblings." He says, plucking my squishy finger off his sleeve like a piece of lint. 

"You and Mia, maybe so, but," I grin with a devilish look, "we're not siblings~" Ciel looked at me in distaste. 

"Anyways," He says, trying to divert my attention, "as I was saying, I can use pheromones to," he thinks slightly, "persuade others. I can make anyone fall into the influence of my charms and they usually just do whatever I want. Secrets, weaknesses, desires, they tell me everything. That's how I can manipulate them, and you," he says, looking at me as I gaze happily into his emerald eyes, falling into an abyss of dreams, "the letter. What is it for?"

"You tell me," I say, winking mischievously at him, "I'm not telling you~"

He grabs my wrists and smiles brightly, his pearly teeth peeking out from between his pink luscious lips. I melt from the sight, my heartbeat beating in excitement. "Tell me" he says in his smooth honey-like voice.

"Ohh myy~~" I feel my face heat up in excitement. "Only if you kiss me first!" I leap at him, hooking my arms around his neck and purse my lips, looking like a duck, pulling him forcefully forward to kiss those pink blessed lips. 

"No you don't!" He snaps his fingers and suddenly I feel the happy feeling pass through me like a ghost. My gleeful face, squinted eyes and slacked smile, disappears instantly. My beating heart, which was overjoyed with love, is now steady. As I process what happened to me, I feel a dark emotion rise in me. I lower my head, a shadow over my eyes. 

"P-promise.." I whisper, voice low and trembling. I look up at Ciel, face creased in shame. "Promise to me that you will keep all my secrets a secret, even this one!" I say, my eyes tearing up as my embarrassment was steadily increasing. Ciel looks blankly at me and then chuckles. 

"This one? You mean about how you lusted for me when I used my power, to the point that you tried to kiss me?" 

"Agh!" I cry, dropping to the ground in shame, wailing loudly to drown out his words. 

"Ok, ok." He says, patting the top of my head, "I promise to keep your secrets a secret. No one will know," I gaze hopefully up at him. "Especially about how you were willing to like younger men for me." 

"Noooohohohoho!!!" I clutch my head in despair. 

"Ok, ok. I'm letting it go. Can you tell me about the letter now?" He asks kindly. I sniffle, wiping my nose with my sleeve. 

"Ok.." I say, calming down. "Just so you know, you promised to keep all my secrets a secret, you know? So you can't tell anyone about this. This is also a secret."

"ok, go on." He says, eagerly listening. 

"Actually.." I say, avoiding eye contact. "It has something to do with Alphonse" He perks up. 

"Al? What exactly?"

"I'm proposing a deal to some people through Ezra as the middleman."

"Which people? What deal?"

"You're not gonna like it."

"Try me." He says, pointing his nose to the sky haughtily. 

"I'm planning on selling out Alphonse's military movements and strategies for the upcoming attack on the Fredericka Kingdom."

"What?!" 

"The people buying the information will be the Fredericka Kingdom's Royal Guard and the King himself."

"WhAT!" His face contorts in shock and confusion, mouth gaping. "But how? Why!"

"I need to stop Alphonse from winning this battle."

"Huh, why? You know that if he pledged stepping down as Commander if his troops lost even one battle under his leadership?!" 

"Exactly! I do my research. That's why I need to do this, he has to step down as the Commander."

"And why exactly do you want him to step down?" He says, eyes wide in disbelief, not being able to imagine whatever reason I would come up with. 

"He irks me." I say, looking away guiltfully.

"What?" He blurts out. "I-irks you?"

"Irks me. Bothers the hell out'a me. The brat is getting what he deserves."

At first, Ciel blinks at me blankly. Then he bursts out in delightful laughter. "Haha! I knew I would like you." Slightly uncomfortable, I smile back. "Honestly, he bothers everyone. Good on you." He pats me on the shoulder in approval. "But how do you plan on getting Ezra to follow along, he's not the type to listen to requests unless he gets something out of it."

"That's why I've arranged something for him in return."

"What?"

"In exchange for the information, I requested the Fredericka Kingdom to establish a trade route for the Alchemy Tower through their domain. Their kingdom is smack dab in the middle of the Terraneous Territories and the Scarlet Empire. If the trade route is established, there would be no need to take long detours to travel to those lands. The cost and time for trade  would significantly decrease so we should also be able to get cheaper quotes for the mineral ores we get from there. That and also, I asked to them to establish a long-term stable trade contract with the Alchemy Tower, to further maintain the goodwill between the tower and the Kingdom for future prospects. For Ezra, connections and business is what he most values. If he gets to establish a good partnership with the Fredericka Kingdom, who have an abundant amount of botanical resources needed for alchemy and medicine, he'd jump at the opportunity. And last I checked, he couldn't care less about Alphonse."

"Hmm, that's true. And the Fredericka Kingdom would cooperate no matter what if this would lead to Al resigns as Commander. In fact, I bet you could get other countries to also join in if they got word. It looks like you have it all sorted out, although I didn't expect you to be this evil." He said with a smirk, eyeing at me. 

"Evil? How so?" I say innocently. "Bring down a villain is quite heroic." 

"Sure, but what about all the people you'll be killing."

"What?.." I break out into a cold sweat.

"If things go well, you'll be sending Al and his troops on a suicide mission, knowing fully that they'll be ambushed and killed."

"But that's not gonna happen. I made sure to inform the King to only capture the troops and hold them hostage for a few days till we send reinforcements to bring them troops back. No one will die, it'll be peaceful–"

"Hmm, is that so~" He smiles thoughtfully. "A peaceful battlefield..." He says wistfully. "Is it that you're evil or just naive..." He gazes down gently at me. "Do you really expect the enemy troops to sit back calmly as Al leads his men into battle after being ambushed? Being blindsided by the enemy only causes chaos, the army would rage into battle and the Fredericka troops will be forced to defend. In a matter of life or death, how do you think the Fredericka troops will be able to just cleanly disarm Al's men and take them hostage? That's just wishful thinking. They'll be slaughtered, though I bet they'll somehow be able to keep a few of them alive, they'll definitely try to keep Al alive for sure because he's the prince. Asides from that, I can't imagine how you can expect more from them. After all, war is war, people will die in conflict." Ciel says this nonchalantly, shrugging his shoulders. 

I lower my head, thinking about his words. He's right. Well, shit.
