| - The Red Butler Arc is the second arc of the Kuroshitsuji manga. It was a major conflict involving Ciel Phantomhive and his butler, Sebastian Michaelis, investigating the case of A serial murderer by the name of Jack the Ripper, who repeatedly sought after prostitutes. The conflict began when Ciel, Sebastian, Lau, Angelina Dalles, and her butler, Grell Sutcliff, met up to discuss about the chain of murders that occurred in London, and the possible link to Jack the Ripper. With the aid of Undertaker, they managed to narrow it down to either a doctor or someone knowledgeable about anatomy, who has no alibi on the day before the incident, and is connected to a secret society or black magic. Aleistor Chamber was the prime suspect but after investigation, he was found innocent. The conflict ended when Ciel and Sebastian waited outside the next victim's house only for the said victim to be killed anyway. However, they were able to discover the identities of Jack the Ripper: Angelina Dalles and the Grim Reaper, Grell Sutcliff. Angelina's past and her motivation to kill prostitutes were revealed shortly before she died, and Grell was taken away by another Grim Reaper. Several months after Angelina's funeral, Francis and Elizabeth Midford arrived at the Phantomhive manor to celebrate Ciel's thirteenth birthday.
