Black Butler Chapter 156

While the other maids are lowering and trying to disassemble the chandeliers in the main hall, Mey-Rin worries about Ran-Mao. Throughout the day, she tries to get away to search for Ran-Mao, but her maid duties keep her busy. When Mey-Rin finally finds an opportunity to sneak away, Jane catches her and tells her to get back to work.  At night, Mey-Rin gears up to search for Ran-Mao and lowers herself down on a rope from her bedroom window to get to Chris Heathfield's room without being seen by Jane who wanders through the corridors. When she enters Heathfield's bedroom, there is nobody inside, but she notices a draught coming from somewhere although the windows are all closed. Mey-Rin follows the trail of the draught and pushes away a bookshelf to reveal a hidden staircase. Mey-Rin climbs down the stairs which lead to a room filled with hospital beds and machinery. The beds are filled with all the maids Heathfield summoned to his bedroom and liked.  They are all...

Mey-Rin is caught spying on Chris Heathfield and Annie by Jane who tells her to be quiet and guides her to the kitchen. There, they have a drink, and Jane scolds Mey-Rin for going out after 10 p.m. and for eavesdropping. Mey-Rin apologizes and says that she was only curious to find out whether the rumor that Heathfield invites a maid to his bedroom every night were true or not.  Jane tells her that the rumor is indeed true; however, Heathfield is not doing this solely for his pleasure: Heathfield is searching for a substitute for his wife ever since she and his daughter died in a carriage accident many years ago. He is specifically searching for a woman who resembles his wife. Because of that, the manor constantly adverts for maids. Upon hearing this, Mey-Rin points out that the maids working at Heathfield Manor all have different hair colours and ethnicities: If Heathfield wants to find someone who resembles his late wife, why is he not specifying his criteria for hirin...

One morning, the maids of Heathfield Manor are in a rush, frantically running around, asking for makeup, and applying it. Mey-Rin enters the servants' room with Ran-Mao and Jane and asks what is going on. Jane then informs her that Chris Heathfield returned last night from parliament. Upon hearing her answer, Mey-Rin wonders why the other maids are applying makeup then—after all, should Baron Heathfield not be offended?  Jane assures her that Heathfield is a bit eccentric and, in fact, expects it and that his servants align themselves in rows and greet him, with the new hires standing in the first row. Mey-Rin thinks that this is quite odd, and shortly afterward, she and the others greet Heathfield. Heathfield asks Mrs. Abbie if anything of interest happened during his absence, and Abbie tells him that she hired four new maids. He walks straight to Mey-Rin, Ran-Mao, Miranda, and Annie and greets and inspects them. Then, Heathfield welcomes them to his manor and turns awa...

At Heathfield Manor, Jane tells Mey-Rin that they will start with polishing the banisters: She will start from the top while Mey-Rin begins at the bottom. Eager to start, Mey-Rin opens her polish, but before she can apply the substance to the banister, she is stopped by Jane who noticed that she accidentally picked shoe polish.  Mey-Rin apologizes for her mistake, and Jane asks whether her eyesight could have something to do with it before she points out that it is odd for Mey-Rin as a maid to have glasses. Mey-Rin tells her that her previous employer got them for her. Then, they start to work. Sometime earlier, at Lau's opium den, Lau and Sebastian announce to Ciel that they have collected the information he requested from them earlier regarding human traffickings, missing persons, and new establishments. Sebastian gives Ciel his report first: He found out about the Cheese Rolling Festival in the Cotswolds, the Bottle-Kicking Contest in Leicestershire, a restorative dan...
