Spoilers ahead
The Queen decides to test Ciel Phantomhive’s loyalty, convinced he left out something in his report about the killed captive children from Noah’s Ark Circus. Her butlers stage a banquet at the Phantomhive mansion for a German banker, Lord Georg von Siemens. After the banquet, Siemens is found murdered in his guest room, and everyone has an alibi except [Ciel Phantomhive], who is confined to one of his guests—Arthur Conan Doyle, a budding writer he admires. That night, someone kills Sebastian Michaelis and another guest is found dead in the morning. Doyle suspects that three different people carried out the murders since none could have done all three alone. Just as they wonder whether there may be an outside attacker, a mysterious reverend Rathborne arrives.
