In ‘His Butler, Serving,’ Sebastian serves Sieglinde morning tea and begins training her in etiquette, language, and dressmaking using improvised materials. Though Wolfram criticizes his methods, Sebastian asserts a butler must not indulge their master.

Meanwhile, Finnian encourages the fearful Ciel to get fresh air and recalls his past as a lab specimen, his violent escape, and how Ciel gave him a new life. Sieglinde questions Sebastian about demons, and he partially explains Ciel’s history. Later, while retrieving wine, Sebastian and Snake uncover a hidden passage in the manor.
