Black Butler, Volume 20

With Ciel Phantomhive completely debilitated following his encounter with the miasma known as the curse of the Wolfman in Black Butler, Vol. 19, Sebastian and the rest of the Phantomhive staff find themselves stuck at the house of the Emerald Witch. Wishing to return Ciel to his usual combative self, Sebastian uses his devil magic to attempt to consume his soul, sealing the bargain Ciel made when he first summoned the devil, as it is clear that the Earl of Phantomhive is no longer capable of assuming his duties. This attack forces Ciel out of his self-inflicted mental prison.

Now that Ciel has returned, Sebastian presents him with an invitation from Queen Victoria to be delivered to the Emerald Witch, inviting her to England, she who has never traveled outside of the village. Meanwhile, the Witch herself is being prompted to solve the perfect spell that will protect the village from the Wolfman forever. But not all is at it seems, and Sebastian's devilish skills have found that a conspiracy is afoot. What will it take for Ciel and Sebastian to convince the Emerald Witch to leave the safety of her people and depart from the village?
