[[Lu/Ciel|Luciel]] refers to the dynamic duo of Lu, a dethroned queen of the demon realm who summons demonic magic from her gauntlets, and Ciel, a hitman bound to serve her with his pair of gunblades. Betrayed by her aid, Lu had her powers sealed and her authority usurped. With what little power she had left, she escaped to Elrios with her body like that of a child. Ciel came across the injured Lu and decided to take her in, whether it was because of his sympathetic heart or his fondness for things small and cute. Despite her appearance, Lu acts aristocratically and is very demanding, though she still has quite the sweet tooth. Ciel is serious and reliable with his service; with his cooking knowledge and skills, he is often seen as like a butler. | [[Lu/Ciel|Luciel]] refers to the dynamic duo of Lu, a dethroned queen of the demon realm who summons demonic magic from her gauntlets, and Ciel, a hitman bound to serve her with his pair of gunblades.
