Sebastian?

Eric frowned.

Wasn't the butler away taking care of other things today? Why was Charles calling his name at this time?

and......

Eric noticed that the moment Charles finished speaking, a strange fluorescent light appeared in his right eye.

There seemed to be complex patterns inlaid in the bottom of his eyes, which were fleeting, as if they were just an illusion caused by the change in light.

Eric's heart sank, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice that shouldn't have been here.

"Yes, my lord."

A breeze blew by, and the brightly lit banquet hall was almost instantly plunged into darkness. The strange phenomenon caused low cries to be heard again among the crowd.

"Quiet!" Those who broke into the banquet cursed in a low voice, and then balls of silver-white light emerged from the tips of their wands.

The next second, the man who had just started negotiating with Vincent suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he lowered his head tremblingly. A silver knife pierced deeply into his chest. He seemed to want to say something, but it was too late. His tall body shook, and then he fell to the ground with a bang.

His fall caused the group of people to panic on the spot.

"who!"

"Get out of here!"

The wizards clenched their wands and shouted loudly, but their eyes could not hide their panic.

However, their defenses were nothing compared to the demons, and their proud magic could not cause any harm to the demons...

Eric heard a few subtle sounds of something breaking through the air, mixed with the sound of something breaking, and then the dull sound of a body falling on the carpet...

It seemed that even the smell of blood in the air became stronger.

The flying spells made Eric's palms sweat a little. He wanted to put Charles and Elizabeth behind him with one hand each, but Charles held his wrist with his backhand.

"Charles?" Eric opened his eyes wide to see his brother's face.

"Eric." He heard Charles' clear voice in the darkness. "Don't worry, everything is fine now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the banquet hall became bright again. A dazzling light fell from behind Charles, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

After the lights came on, everyone discovered that a butler in black had appeared in the middle of the hall, and the group of people who were obviously ill-intentioned had fallen behind him in a disorderly manner.

The large banquet hall was in deathly silence. None of these nobles, who were used to bossing people around, dared to speak. Their bodies were shaking with fear, and some even cried quietly.

Sebastian patted the non-existent dust on his hands, glanced around, and slowly walked to the Roman column where Charles and the other two were hiding.

Then, in full view of everyone, he knelt on one knee in front of the second son of the Phantomhive family, who did not have a very strong presence.

The handsome butler held up the boy's thin arm and gently rubbed the scratches on his face with his white-gloved fingertips.

"Forgive me for being late and frightening you, young master." His voice was full of self-blame and love.

Ciel: ...

Sebastian's behavior made Charles feel like the hair on his body stood up. He glanced at a certain demon with a worried look on his face, raised his other hand and pinched his brow. "What do you want to do now?"

This guy should know that he doesn't want to be too conspicuous in front of this group of nobles.

Moreover, what happened tonight involved wizards, and I'm afraid the nobles present won't remember it for long.

At this moment, several small explosions were heard in the air, and several people in strange costumes suddenly appeared in front of everyone.

Seeing the guy in the cloak and holding a "wooden stick" again, the nobles felt their hearts trembling. Before they had time to lament the misfortunes of the night, they heard a clean voice.

"Mr. Malfoy?" Ciel tilted his head. "Why are you here too?"

Although he was the one who contacted Lucius using the magic props provided by Draco after the accident, why would a powerful platinum noble show up directly for such a simple follow-up work?

Lucius looked at the master and servant, one kneeling and the other standing, then looked at his "colleagues" who had obviously lost their vital signs, and curled the corners of his mouth.

If he didn't come today, he might get the news tomorrow that Ciel was expelled from Hogwarts.

Even if these people on the ground had Death Eater marks on their arms, and even if they had bad intentions, they were still wizards after all. The death of so many of them at once in Muggle territory was no small matter, and the Ministry of Magic had no way of giving a reasonable explanation.

They would not admit that these people had reunited because of the reappearance of that adult, which would cause great unrest in the wizarding world. To this day, many wizards still turn pale when they hear the mention of that adult.

Of course, they would not think that the Muggles, who they saw as weak and incompetent, were capable of doing this.

Based on Lucius's understanding of the abilities of the Ministry of Magic members over the years, this matter will most likely end up as a "disaster caused by a magical riot by underage wizards."

What a simple and quick solution!

Just by sacrificing a young Muggle wizard who hasn't graduated yet, a lot of trouble can be saved.

If there weren't some problems with the selection of candidates, Lucius would have agreed to this plan.

but!

Why is it Phantomhive?

This family is full of tricks, and although they appear to be bright and beautiful, their methods are vicious and ruthless. They are not easy to mess with. If they are really angered by such a small matter, they might turn the wizarding world upside down.

Oh, don't say it's impossible. He had witnessed with his own eyes the scene where the adult was suppressed and obediently obeyed by the black-clad butler behind the boy. And as far as he knew, Mr. Grindelwald, who once stirred up the situation of the whole world, was still living in Phantomhive Manor.

Lucius lowered his eyes slightly to hide all the thoughts in his eyes. He stroked the snake staff in his hand and said, "Xiaolong said he wants to invite you to be his guest."

As soon as these words came out, the Aurors who were traveling with them looked at Lucius and Ciel with extremely strange eyes.

How surprising! A loyal supporter of the pure-blood theory and a former Death Eater actually invited a little Muggle-born wizard to Malfoy Manor!

Could it be that the sun rises from the west today?

Or maybe they haven't woken up yet?

The Aurors winked at each other as they used magic to repair the broken items.

Several Gryffindor graduates couldn't help but start conspiring.
