Synopsis

PART 1:The Queen decides to test Ciel's loyalty, believing he omitted something from his report about the killed captive children from Noah's Ark Circus. Her butlers order that a banquet be held at the Phantomhive mansion for a German banker, Lord Georg von Siemens. After the banquet, Siemens is found murdered in his guest room. Everyone has an alibi except Ciel, who is then confined to one of his guests - Arthur Conan Doyle, a novice writer Ciel is a fan of. That night, someone kills Sebastian and another guest is found dead in the morning. Doyle surmises that three different people committed the murders, since all three could not have been done by one person. Just as they begin to wonder if there may be a person from the outside attacking them, a mysterious reverend Jeremy Rathborne arrives.

PART 2:Sebastian had asked Rathborne to come investigate. One of the murders was done by a snake trained to hunt down Ciel's scent; it was sent by Snake from Noah's Ark Circus to avenge his friends. Siemens had faked his death as a joke but was killed after by Woodley, who wanted to frame Ciel to prevent him from destroying his diamond business. The case is closed but Arthur Conan Doyle notices the inconsistencies and learns the truth: Rathborne is Sebastian in disguise and they'd known the culprit all along - Earl Grey, the Queen's butler, whom the Queen had sent to kill Siemens via the banquet in order to halt Germany's financial growth, and at the same time, jokingly frame Ciel as punishment for the accident with Noah's Ark Circus and test whether he still had the guts for the job as her Guard Dog. Ciel and Sebastian framed Woodley, who was corrupt anyway. This experience influences Doyle and sets off his career. At the end, Ciel invites Snake to live in the Phantomhive manor to win his trust and prevent another attempt on Ciel's life.
