The Useless 8th Prince

The Coming of Spring

“Asterious ... This?”

After pretending to cough, Ciel looked at the beautiful Melusine figure that was in front of him.

“This is the figure I mentioned, Sir! Her name is Marina.”

“Lalu .. can you explain who that little girl hiding behind you is, Asterious?”

Ciel's expression looked dark and gloomy. Behind Asterious, Ciel saw a small Melusine who looked like Marina. It's just, it looks like he's only four to five years old. Every now and then the little girl would peek at Ciel with a curious look.

Damnit damnit! As a subordinate of this Prince .. you won't kidnap people's wives, right?

Ciel felt his heart sink. Imagining the figure of the ‘giant buffalo’ who kidnapped another man's wife and child, the young man inhaled a cold breath. His expression became darker.

“Malkuis ... bakpild?” a soft mutter sounded.

Once again Ciel glanced at the small Melusine figure peeking at him from behind Asterious. The little girl looked at him with a round bead, looking cute and innocent. The problem ...he did not understand what the girl was saying.

The malkis? That kind of cake?

Black pill's? Black pill?

What is the relationship between the two? Are they both eaten together?

Ignoring the few questions in his head, Ciel once again stared at Asterious.

Looking at his master's gloomy expression, Asterious looked puzzled.

“Are you sick, sir? Since you're awake, I'm actually carrying out your orders.

You want to meet Marina right, Mr?”

Is correct. Before Asterious made a careless decision. Earlier, Ciel said that he wanted to see the woman he liked. The young man told the black Minotaur to bring the future couple. Ciel doesn't want Asterious to be cheated, but …

Not that you can abduct someone's wife, motherfucker!

The corner of Ciel's lips twitched. He really wanted to hit that buffalo who had a silly expression in front of him. For some reason, the young man felt his emotions were unstable when talking to a fool.

“M-Sorry, Milord. B-Can I speak?”

Marina's voice made Ciel aware of her daydream. He then looked at the beautiful woman who was looking at him with a doubtful expression.

Tilting his head, Ciel said, “What's up? Justsaytheword. No need to hesitate.”

Marina looked doubtful, the fingers on her hands were dancing, signaling her nervousness.

“S-Actually .. I am actually interested in Asterious, My Lord. D-He did not force or do anything despicable …

Instead, he helped me and my daughter when kidnapped a bandit who used to hunt slaves.”

Seeing that the woman understood what she was expecting, Ciel felt a little amazed. He then glanced at Asterious and heaved a sigh of relief. The young man was afraid that his brain-strapped subordinates would actually kidnap people indiscriminately.

“Then ... How about your family? I mean, your husband.”

“Died three years ago, while going hunting Demonic Beasts to meet the needs of me and Lin-Ling who was only one year old at that time.” Marina replied with a gentle smile, but the look in her eyes radiated sadness.

“...”

Ciel was once again silent. After suspecting her subordinates for kidnapping, she now makes a woman remember her late husband.

“Sorry.” Ciel said briefly.

“T-It's okay, My Lord! That thing has passed. I ... I'm not too sad.”

Listening to Marina's reply, Ciel looked towards Asterious. He felt that this matter was a bit complicated. It's like the soap opera drama on television in Ciel's previous life.

A young man who goes to town for the sake of leaving his childhood sweetheart. I want to change my life and have a happy future. However, in the city he met a beautiful widow while doing her job.

Despite having two lives ... This kind of problem is still a bit too much for me, okay?

“Are you really sure you like each other? Not just the amazement of a blink of an eye?”

“We are sure!” say both at the same time.

In fact, little Lin-Ling nodded like a woodpecker. He seemed to accept the black Minotaur as his father. Ciel was barely speechless.

After giving it some thought, Ciel once again made a question.

“You two probably already know.

Unlike the normal or high-level demon races that could have offspring with other races, the Heteromorph Race was rather unique.

For example, Savian could have descended from the Lamia Runa. However, you are different, Minotaur and Melusine .. Even if you do it 7 x 24 hours, you cannot have it.

If Asterious was with the woman of the Demon race, he might be able to have a descendant. You too, Marina, if you are together with the men of the Demon race, you can have them as well.

It's just, if you two ... you guys understand what I mean, right?”

Hearing Ciel's explanation, Asterious looked foolish and seemed to have just come to a realization. As for Marina, the woman seemed to have understood. Meanwhile, little Lin-Ling seemed to be tilting her head, looking at Ciel with a puzzled look.

Ciel. He forgot to explain things like that in front of a four or five-year-old. The young man was embarrassed. Really want to turn away from there. But because in the position ‘gave advice’, he can only sit rooted there.

“Not just that. Unlike the noble girls who must be betrothed and can only accept, although ordinary women live more suffering, they are more free about choice.

Marina, do you know about Moomo? Asterious childhood sweetheart? Do you want to share love?

I feel Asterious too will not be able to let go of the promise of love with his childhood sweetheart.”

“...”

Hearing Ciel's words, Marina lowered her head in silence.

Not intending to complain, Ciel just did not want to see Asterious worry. If they hide each other, their future is chaotic. It would be very influential with Ciel's plans going forward.

“I don't mind sharing, Sir. After all, I also already have a daughter and can't give Asterious what he needs.”

Looking at the woman in front of him, Ciel came to a realization. Indeed, Marina could give Asterious love. Sometimes love is a fragile thing. Without a seed, a relationship is like a tree without fruit.

It may last forever, or it may end in a few years. No one can be sure of it.

“I also decided to stay together with Marina, Sir. I really want to be with him!”

“Then you two go .. I mean three, go see Moomo. I want you all to talk about it in person!

If you can come to a decision, as master, I will also give you my blessing. I will not interfere in your personal matters.

You can go.”

“According to your order, Milord!”

Asterious and Marina replied together while bowing politely. Lin-Ling behind them also nodded with a somewhat stiff posture, making Ciel smile.

Seeing the three leave, Ciel heaved a sigh of relief.

...***...

Without feeling it, two weeks passed.

The snow began to melt, young shoots began to grow, making the world white again full of color.

At that time, Ciel who was working in the office was approached by Camellia who brought a letter. After reading the letter with a pretty neat handwriting, he let out a long sigh.

The letter had the signature of Asterious, but was clearly written by Marina. Ciel immediately stared outside the window with a somewhat complicated expression.

Okay .. I was a bit surprised. In this world, even a buffalo can make a harem.
