In Black Butler, Vol. 14, the Queen commanded Ciel Phantomhive to discover why some students at an elite boarding school have cut off all contact with their families. Phantomhive enrolls in the school, but quickly realize that privilege and titles mean nothing here. As a new student, he is severely limited in his movements, and must serve at the whim of upperclassmen. The only way to investigate these disappearances is to build a relationship with the P4, the leaders of each of the four houses of the school. Unfortunately, he is set up Maurice Cole, one of the P4’s assistants, who embarrasses him in front of the P4s when he shows up two hours late to an appointment.

Sebastian, meanwhile, joined the school as a new faculty member. Working with Phantomhive, they track down students who have a grievance against Maurice, and Phantomhive sets up a trap were he hopes to trick Maurice into reveal his perfidious nature. Can Phantomhive navigate the treacherous halls of this elite school?
