Kuroshitsuji S4 | Ep1 | My scheme to ingratiate myself with the prefects will start with him. I’m ever so glad I pleased you. Truthfully, housework is my specialty! “Please, ask me for anything you need, Clayton.”
SEBASTIAN AND CIEL ARE BACK IN THE MANGA. GO READ THE LATEST CHAPTER RIGHT NOW
Now, for this specific panel, I noted something quite interesting.
Sebastian in here called him “Earl Phantomhive” he never did that. He usually called him “my lord” or “young master”.
But here he called him Earl phantomhive to let him know that he is the only one that deserved that title. That before his eyes, he is the only earl phantomhive.
And Sebastian cannot lie, so his words were true to heart. He believes that our Ciel is the only Earl, at least to him.
No one can snatch the title away from O!Ciel, and Sebastian only recognizes him as the true Earl, as his “one and only master”, as he said when they first met.
I was wrong when I said I could not love them more.
The first time I heard him say: “Yare Yare!” I swooned. With glee.
We have been blessed with the sound of his voice uttering this phrase and it makes me bounce like a headless chicken upon listening to it.
It is a famous expression of his other character, Jotaro Kujo, explaining his disbelief, outrage, etc.
These scenes just embody the demon’s pettiness. He let Ciel suffer first before he came to his rescue. Schadenfreude. A demon really.
And that explains Ciel’s face. Sebastian has begun their little games: one-upmanship. At that moment he’d probably want to avenge himself thinking of ways to do it. Which he did in the form of making S clean the dining room a few days later. And how the demon overdid the tidying. Little did he know that the little shit Ciel had already concocted his next move, which made S only shake his head.
S somehow knew that Ciel would use himself as a bait to fast-track the investigation. Methinks he was both amused and appalled of the state of humanity after he heard the queen’s reasons concerning her missing relative. In the end, he was enjoying it. A beautiful means to marinate his young master’s soul into perfection.
