"I apologize for the actions of my subordinates." Ciel bowed his head in apology. "I hope that none of you are too seriously injured."
"You better discipline them properly," Stephen replied. Although his voice was steady, it carried a tinge of anger in them. "Fortunately, me and my bodyguard weren't seriously injured. If we were, the Malfoys wouldn't take this incident lying down."
"Understood," Ciel nodded his head. "Heinz, make sure to punish the men who hurt my friends. Cut their salary by half for the next two months."
"Understood, Young Master," Heinz bowed in acknowledgement.
Ciel then shifted his attention to the quiet boy who had his head lowered the entire time.
"Ethan, are you perhaps seriously injured?" Ciel asked. "Do you want to be taken to the hospital?"
"I am not seriously injured." Ethan raised his head and gave Ciel a wry smile. "I'll be fine after resting for a day or two."
