Nicol Bolas doesn't distinguish between servants and victims.
Rulings
If you don’t control the targeted creature when the “at end of turn” ability resolves, it won’t be sacrificed. If it’s still on the battlefield but under another player’s control, the ability won’t try to have you sacrifice it again at the end of the turn after that.
You may target a creature you already control.
