A Brief Introduction To The Plot
The story revolves around the life of a boy named Ciel Phantomhive living in the victorian era in the year 1888. Although, being only 13 years old, Ciel is now an earl due to his parent’s untimely death.
However, the truth about his parents’ demise is something that only Ciel knows. On the day of his 10th birthday, a group of bandits attacked Ciel’s mansion, killing both of his parents along with his beloved dog Sebastian. However, the true horror was just getting started. After the death of his parents, the bandits sold the young boy into slavery.
Ciel was now a slave of a demonic cult, who brutalized Ciel physically, mentally, sexually and emotionally. Nearly starving the boy to death and torturing him in various ways. The cult marked Ciel with “Mark of the Beast” and finally decided to use him as a live human sacrifice to summon a demon from the depths of hell.
The demon, however, refused to acknowledge the cult and told them that it was Ciel who has summoned him, not the cult. The demon then proceeds to kill every cult member and makes a deal with Ciel.
Ciel asks for the demon’s help to find out the people behind his family’s doom in exchange for his soul. Ciel asks for the demon’s assistance and begins calling him Sebastian, the name of his dog.
Now, together after 3 years of his ordeal, Ciel investigates the most dangerous cases for the crown along with Sebastian to bring the wrongdoers justice in this world
