In this episode, we see the continuation of the story after Sebastian Michaelis, the butler of the Phantomhive family, revealed his true form as a demon in the first episode. Ciel Phantomhive, the young Earl, is still grappling with this news and trying to adjust to the fact that his butler is not human.

The episode begins with a bang, as a group of assassins attack the Phantomhive estate. Sebastian quickly dispatches them, showcasing his incredible strength and agility. Ciel is impressed, but also wary of the fact that his butler's true capabilities may be far beyond what he had initially thought.

As the day goes on, Ciel begins to experience some health issues - he is feeling weak, dizzy, and shaky. Sebastian recognizes this as a sign of overworking and pushes his young master to take a break and rest. Ciel is initially resistant to the idea, as he feels that he cannot afford to take a break with so much at stake. However, after collapsing in his office, he agrees to let Sebastian take care of him for a bit.

Sebastian proves his worth as a butler yet again, tending to Ciel's every need and even preparing a special meal just for him. Throughout the episode, we see more and more of the bond between Sebastian and Ciel. Despite the fact that Sebastian is a demon and technically works for Ciel due to a contract they made, there is a sense that they genuinely care for each other. Sebastian is not just a servant, but a companion to Ciel.

The episode takes a dark turn when another butler arrives at the Phantomhive estate - one who is apparently stronger than Sebastian. This butler, Soma Asman Kadar, is from India and is visiting London with his master, the Prince of Bengal. When he challenges Sebastian to a duel, the two engage in a series of impressive displays of strength and skill.

The duel serves as a way to showcase just how powerful Sebastian is, even in comparison to someone who is said to be his equal. It also highlights the fact that Sebastian will do whatever it takes to protect Ciel and the Phantomhive family. When Soma suggests that he would be willing to kill Ciel in order to win the duel, Sebastian shuts him down immediately. He will not allow anyone to harm his young master, no matter what it takes.

As the episode ends, we see the aftermath of the duel and the implications of what has happened. There is a sense that Ciel and Sebastian are now even closer than they were before, having faced another challenge together and come out on top. Despite the fact that they are living in a dark, dangerous world full of threats, they are able to find solace in each other's company.

Overall, this episode is a thrilling continuation of the story from the first episode. It adds more depth to the relationship between Ciel and Sebastian, as well as showcasing just how skilled and powerful Sebastian truly is. It also sets up more potential conflicts for the future and leaves the viewer eager to see what comes next.
