"Urhk..!"

Lady Elizabeth lands a kick at _________'s stomach, causing the poor (gender?) to fall to their knees. The servant apologizing profusely, but still quiet enough to not talk over the Lady. ________'s eyes waver and they wince in pain, but remains unmoving. And does not stop Elizabeth from doing what she feels will calm her rage.

"Milady, I think that is enough. Calm yourself." Sebastian says, standing between the two as Ciel's eyes widen in shock and horror as he witnesses Lady Elizabeth's violent outburst towards _________. His protective instincts surge to the forefront, his anger boiling over at the sight of someone he cared about being harmed.

"Elizabeth, stop this at once!" Ciel's voice cuts through the air like a blade, filled with a mix of fury and concern.

He quickly moves to _______'s side, Sebastian gently pushing Elizabeth away from them. "This behavior is unacceptable! You have crossed a line, Elizabeth! ______ is not responsible for any imagined spells or enchantments. You are the one who needs to stop this madness!"

Ciel's voice trembles with anger as he continues, his eyes blazing with fury. "You will not lay another hand on ________, or anyone else in this household, for that matter. I will not tolerate this violence and mistreatment. It is clear that our engagement cannot continue if you cannot respect those around you."

His words ring with an unyielding authority, his face a mask of controlled fury. Sebastian swiftly moves towards ________, placing himself between them and Elizabeth again, acting as a shield. "You will not lay another hand on _____, Lady Elizabeth."

Elizabeth's face contorts with rage, her voice cracking as she shouts. "They're a witch, Ciel! Can't you both see? They're using some kind of dark magic to manipulate you, to make you turn against me!"

Ciel's eyes narrow, his voice dripping with determination. "_______ is not a witch. _________ is a valued member of my household, and I will not stand for any further mistreatment towards them. This ends now."

With a swift motion, Ciel reaches out, gripping Elizabeth's wrist tightly and prying it away from even reaching ________. His voice is laced with an intensity she has rarely witnessed before. "If you cannot accept a servant of mines place in my life, then perhaps we need to reconsider our engagement."

Elizabeth's eyes widen in shock, her mouth hanging open in disbelief. "Ciel, you can't be serious... I... I love you!"

Ciel's grip tightens, his gaze cold as he stares at her, his voice filled with finality. "Love does not excuse cruelty or abuse, Elizabeth. I will not tolerate it, and I will protect those I care about. This is your choice, think carefully."

With a resolute nod, Ciel lowers releases his grip on Elizabeth, positioning himself protectively in front of ________ along with Sebastian, shielding them from any further harm. His eyes meet _______s, filled with concern and determination, silently assuring them that he will do whatever it takes to keep them safe. "_______, are you alright?"

Ciel's eyes flicker with a mix of emotions as he turns his gaze back to Lady Elizabeth, a firm resolve returning to his voice. "Elizabeth, I am deeply disappointed in your actions. It is clear that we need to have a serious conversation about the future of our engagement. But for now, I urge you to leave. This is not the time nor the place for such behavior."

With every word he speaks, he hopes that Lady Elizabeth will finally comprehend the gravity of her actions, that she will see the pain and suffering she has caused. With that, Lady Elizabeth runs off crying. Absolutely mortified that her fiancé would be so "mean" to her. The Lady acting rather rude and hurtful towards his beloved maid all too much for Ciel to even consider caring if Elizabeth cried.
