The Useless 8th Prince

Washed With Blood

At a border in an area led by Viscount Larwrence, troops surrounded a group of bandits who were quite large. After some time, a one-sided massacre ensued.

After slaughtering the bandits, Viscount Lawrence wiped away the blood splattered on his face while looking north. There, where Black Lily City was located.

“This is the last one, right?” ask Viscount Lawrence.

“Already, Sir. The whole bandit and bully in our area is wiped out now.”

A knight replied in a grand tone, but fear was evident in his eyes.

In this one month, Viscount Lawrence had brought his personal army to sweep through the entire region. Bandits and people who harmed the territory were completely wiped out.

At that moment, the citizens thought that the Viscount had gone mad. They wanted to report it to Black Lily City. However, a terrible news reached their ears.

Not only Viscount Lawrence, the other four Viscounts also did the same. In fact, the three regions that Prince Luciel personally led did so. In other words, the entire region was wiped clean by the knights.

The originally pure white snowy ground turned red. Not just in one place, but the entire region under Prince Luciel experienced the same thing.

The citizens really thought that Prince Luciel had gone crazy. There was someone who was trying to get out of the territory on the grounds of reporting to the Royal Capital. What happened afterwards, he was actually killed right then and there.

Locked in the area without being able to get out. Coupled with the pressure of not knowing whether to live or die the next day, the residents panicked.

They don't think Ciel did it to make the territory better. To those people, Ciel was a madman who had his subordinates kill randomly. Really makes you restless.

The Black Lily City military base.

Seeing the ten thousand knights lined up neatly, Ciel nodded in satisfaction. Especially when looking at their expressions that were calmer, colder, and had a killing aura around.

“Why do you guys look pale? Still thinking about the figure you killed? Shown in a dream? Feeling sometimes hear their screams?” Ciel smiled kindly.

“...”

“It is common. If you feel guilty, just try to imagine what ‘them’ people do if it gets to the village or city where you live.

How are your parents? Maybe someone has a sister or sister?”

“...” All the knights were still silent, but looked even more relieved.

“I remind you once again! You're not villains, you're heroes! Getting rid of ‘sampah’, you guys make our region cleaner and safer.

You protect your family and the people around you. Now I ask ... do they deserve to die?”

“Ya, Sir!” answer ten thousand people simultaneously.

Looking at the recovered expression and the fiery spirit, Ciel smiled. Actually, his brainwashing technique is still very useful. The young man was completely satisfied.

“You may return, but before that .. you must take your bonus.

Yes ... not too much for your hard work. But I think it's still good.

Indeed, you cannot go home because of duty. But you can still send the goods or money! Make your family there proud!” ciel said with a friendly smile.

“Thank you very much, Mister!” All the knights bowed forty-five degrees while saying in unison.

Seeing them, Ciel once again nodded.

Good ... The stick and carrot technique also works.

“Then, disperse!” exclaim Ciel.

Seeing all the knights saluting, Ciel nodded lightly before turning away with a smile. By the time he left, the knights then dispersed neatly.

Back at Black Lily Castle, Ciel is greeted by Isabella. Ciel took off his thick coat and gave it to the woman. After that, he rested for a while before going to take a bath with warm water.

Entering the workspace, Ciel sees Ariana, Camellia, and Elena there. The young man nodded lightly before saying, “Let's eat together. I'll also have the waiter call Asterious, Jean, Theo, Tania, Flora, Fiona, and Isabella.”

“Very rarely?” Camellia asked in surprise.

“If I guess, they are all the ones who made a soul contract with you right, Honey?” ariana asked without changing her expression.

Ciel was silent for a while before nodding lightly.

“True. Besides, you guys are the backbones of the three areas I built up. Not just three regions, but the whole region I have.”

After a few short conversations, Ciel and the others ate together. Of course, this time Flora and Fiona did not become chefs because they ate together.

Seeing that everyone was eating in silence, even Theo and Tania who were very nervous, Ciel shook his head lightly. After eating together, Ciel finally decides to take Asterious, Jean, and drag Theo along.

The three became nervous as Ciel invited them into the lounge.

Ciel took out the best quality wine, fresh fruits, and some kind of pastry and placed it on the table.

“Sit,” said Ciel casually.

Now, he wanted to spend time with other men. After all, some talks are not suitable to say to women.

Hearing Ciel's command, Jean sat down with a somewhat astonished expression. Meanwhile, Asterious looked silly and somewhat absentminded. Lastly, Theo looked very nervous.

To Theo, the three figures around him were exemplary examples to him. They are all men, they are all strong. Truly an exemplary figure. The boy's mind was simple. As long as she is strong, she can protect the mother she cares for. No less, no more.

“No need to be nervous. Once in a while, I'd like to sit down to talk to you guys.”

Ciel prepared four glasses and then poured wine. At the sight of the fourth glass then glanced at Theo, Ciel replaced the wine with fruit juice. The young man then placed the glass in front of his three subordinates.

“Minum.” Ciel said briefly before sipping wine in his own glass.

Jean and Asterious looked at each other and nodded. The two took the glass with two hands, raising it in front of Ciel while saying together.

“It's an honor for us, Mr.”

Looking at the two ‘senior’ who drank wine respectfully, Theo became even more nervous. Taking a glass of fruit juice, the boy felt he was lifting a mountain. It was not that there was magic or any other mechanism, it was simply because Theo was too nervous.

A Prince serves his subordinates like this. This is a great honor!

That was the thing that the three subordinates of Ciel thought of. If the young man knew, he would definitely chuckle. Modern society does not seem to attach much importance to such a thing.

Ciel looked towards his three subordinates.

“If there is a problem, just tell me. Although it looks like this, maybe I can help you guys.” Ciel opened the conversation, hoping they weren't too nervous.

“...”

Seeing that the three people were just silent, Ciel shook his head lightly. At that moment, Asterious suddenly raised his hand.

“What's up, Asterious?” ask Ciel.

“Actually I have a question, Mr.”

Seeing the black minotaur wanting to be more open, Ciel nodded in satisfaction.

“Ask only.”

“Actually ... It's a MATTER OF LOVE.” Asterious scratched the back of his head with a shy expression.

Jean and Theo looked at him. Meanwhile, Ciel instantly choked. His expression turned somewhat pale.

Seriously ... You? Love Problems?

Ciel suddenly questioned his own hearing.
