@KPexil@earlmaxxing You make a good point here especially about the little trust he puts in her. I was starting to read into it bc I wouldn’t be surprised if Ciel had other plans as well bc that’s just who he is
This was a lovely discussion ❤️
@KPexil@earlmaxxing Ciel doesn’t tho, hence his advice to Sieglinde. He doesn’t really trust anyone in that matter. In the new issue yeah it’s job but the country might be in trouble if something happens to her, furthermore his access to his family’s enemies
@KPexil@earlmaxxing Ohhhh I see. While I still don’t think it’s necessarily malicious (framed for murder after a massacre with a chance to blame someone else is pretty generous imo), it is still pretty shitty. But they seem to have no ill will afterwards so I guess they call it even
@KPexil@earlmaxxing But burning literal children was the least ideal outcome. She was testing him bc his job requires discretion and cunning but a lot of kids died. As they said, it’s not like it was out of malice bc otherwise their interactions afterwards would’ve been much different
@KPexil@earlmaxxing Tbf, Ciel was supposed to save kidnapped victims and reported that they all died in a fire instead with Grey and Phipps watching the burning as well. I think her suspicion wasn’t unfounded, but also Charles Grey just doesn’t like Ciel was wanted to “put him in his place”
@jdsnusnu I think starting alright and ending awful is worse bc it feels like my hopes were set up then crushed and then I have to end the day crying instead
