"Red wine, M'lady?" Madame Dufont looked to her side, where Sebastian stand, holding the bottle of red wine he'd offered. "Why, yes. I'd love another glass." She turned to Ciel across the dinner table. "My, young Phantomhive, I'm rather impressed by your butler. He's very quick, and charming." Mister Dufont turned his head to his wife. "Now, let's not get carried away, my dear." He looked to the butler, who was pouring wine into his wife's glass. "No need for envy, Mister Dufont. I'm simply.." He fixed his hair and smiled reassuringly. "One hell of a butler." The man looked for a quick second, then turned his head back to his plate. He mumbled something Ciel couldn't decipher, but Sebastian could read him like an open book. "Wine for you, Mister Dufont?" The guest sighed and laid back in his chair. I assume so.." Sebastian walked over to his glass and began to pour, but only a drop came out. "My, my. What do we have here?" Sebastian smiled and let out a chuckle. "It seems as if the bottle is empty. Pardon me for a moment, while I fetch some more." Sebastian walked out of the room and descended down the stairs into the wine cellar.

After the silence had made its stay, Mister and Madame Dufont started to laugh out of nowhere. Ciel sit back in his chair, predicting the couple was intoxicated. He closed his eyes and enjoy his own peace, until he heard the laughter suddenly cease, and a 'click'. He opened one eye to find his guest pointing a pistol at his head. "You damned brat.." The man tightened his grip on the gun. "Tell me, young man.." the woman took her dinner knife out and placed it against Ciel's small neck. "What's the relationship between you and the queen? Tell me, and your death will be painless.." The woman removed the knife from his neck and slid it to the back of his head. She cut off his eyepatch. Ciel opened his eye and summoned his butler. Sebastian appeared behind Madame Dufont. She could feel his cold presence, and quickly turned around to cut him. Sebastian grabbed her wrists and smiled devilishly in her face.

"Emily!" Mister Dufont jumped out of his chair. "You filthy scumbag, get your hands off my wife!!" Ciel chuckled. "My butler wouldn't play with your wife if it meant his contract. Sebastian, kill them." The butler looked down to his master. He smiled and replied "Yes, my lord. However-"

"Don't defy me!! Do as I say, now!"

"As long as I can use some assistance."

"Just kill them, already!"

"Grell Sutcliffe, come downstairs!"

Grell ran downstairs with a curious look on his face. "Help me." Sebastian called to him. Grell smiled. "Sugar coat it?" Sebastian sighed. "Please help me, my love." Grell squealed and jumped in excitement. He summoned his death scythe and started it up. "Yes, Bassy." He ran towards Mister Dufont, who was frozen in place. He struck the man in his stomach. Madame Dufont screamed and tried budging from Sebastian's grip, but he was too strong. Ciel got up from the table and walked out of the room, knowing Grell's mess would make him nauseous. Sebastian smiled. "Now this one, student." After the woman's screeching, along with her breathing, ceased, Sebastian looked down to Grell. "You're covered in blood.. what a mess.." He inspected himself. "I assume I am, too.. Well, lets get rid of this mess, and then clean up.."
