In the video, which can be seen above, fans meet up with Ciel as the young heir lurks around his demonic butler Sebastian. The pair have infiltrated a cruise liner catering to a strange society tied to occult activities, and Ciel’s disguise necessitated he go blonde. Sebastian minds plenty of humor in his master’s discomfort, but no one takes more pleasure than the Undertaker. The older man’s finds the blonde makeover delightful, and the Undertaker isn’t afraid to make those feelings known to Ciel.
