“Another Earl? Well that’s just dandy. Pleasure to meet you meet you to, Earl of Phantomhive.” The young boy pulled a smile, tilting his head. Of course, Allen’s wasn’t as genuine but he did mange to pull it off better. Even if you could tell Ciel’s was fake, it still had that sickly sweet innocence on there. “I heard about you, Earl Phantomhive. Very popular you are!”
“Yes,” he said dully in response to the other meeting another Earl. Most of the earls aside from himself were older, and Ciel couldn’t help but be curious of how he reached the position.
The last statement didn’t surprise him. “Your words are appreciated. Thank you,” though Ciel wasn’t sure if it was even a compliment. Not that it mattered, since he couldn’t afford to be publicly narcissistic.
