The Useless 8th Prince

Black Orchid City

After checking that everything was going well, Ciel invited Camellia back.

However, arriving at the main building of the castle, Camellia immediately told all the rumors about Ciel. The young man was instantly stunned, even starting to doubt life. He had never felt like bothering others at all, but his own people were instead making rumors at will.

“Deployed knights to kill that shameless man.”

Hearing Ciel's cold remark, Camellia immediately persuaded.

“It won't work, Sir. If you do. People will assume that you are silencing the person who is telling the truth.”

Ciel's expression darkened after hearing Camellia's reply. He didn't expect everything to go that way. Not only in previous lives where there would be bucket-mouthed neighbors who liked to make false rumors and liked to talk about the ugliness of others. In this world, their mouths became even worse.

Don't let me find out who made the rumor that I ate a child!

Damnit damnit! I am a loving sister! Seeing little kids looking at me like seeing a ghost really hurts!

Ciel roared in heart. Sighing deeply, he could only shake lightly. Facing the public is not the solution. Ignoring them is the best option.

Next day.

Wearing neat clothes, two swords on the right-left side of his waist, and wearing a coat. This time, he once again went with Deschia and did not invite anyone else. After all, being alone was faster than being with a group.

In addition, Ciel also feels freer if traveling alone. Not too worried about someone dragging him down. The young man really did not want to play being a hero at all times.

Now Ciel was heading to Black Orchid City, a place he wanted to make a trading city. There was Asterious and his two partners. Asterious was being the superintendent in that city.

Originally, quite a number were dissatisfied because someone who led was someone from the Heteromorph race. But after the massive clean-up event, no one dared to go against Ciel's idea. In addition, the people also began to get used to it and did not regard the Heteromorph race as a disgusting race.

By early spring, Ciel had also opened a period of closure of the territory. In other words, the territory back was open to any person who wanted to come or go in the Blackfield region.

Along with that, the nickname ‘Marquis of Blackfield’ became famous in South Duchy. In fact, in the Royal Capital, many people began to recognize the nickname. Ciel is no longer considered a prince who still follows his parents, but as a capable and cruel leader of the region.

Ciel has also sent Jean and her friends back to the city of Greenscale to begin manufacturing medicine farms on a wider scale. In addition, variations of medicinal plants were added. Also, there will be some mid-level medicinal plants that start to be planted.

Now Ciel is confused. He did not want to hand over the Black Orchid area to Asterious to manage. The reason was simple, it would be a trading center and he was no match for it.

Not to be insulting, Ciel felt that Asterious would definitely be looked down upon by representatives from other regions who tried to trade. Moreover, the Heteromorph race was still not well received throughout the empire. Lastly, in order to deal with money, Ciel was really afraid that the ridiculous Asterious would be cheated and he would suffer a huge loss.

Actually, Ciel had already prepared a special area of the Heteromorph race, Blackrock City. What happened in the area really went well. Because there is no leader, Ciel wants to make Asterious the leader of a unique and diverse race. So, the Asterious assignment in the Black Orchid area was only temporary.

Who would have thought that he would even meet a woman there? Destiny? Yeah .. who cares about that.

Without feeling it, a few days just passed.

Flying above the clouds, Ciel saw an incredible sight. The young man looked at a large city that looked prosperous. The city was built centered on a hill next to a very large river. Outside the city walls, there was a moat surrounding the city and fed with river water.

In addition, around the city there are small forests with trees that are not too high. Maybe four or five meters.

After seeing a pretty satisfying sight, Ciel and Deschia went down.

The ones leading them all were four figures. Black minotaur, Red minotaur, mature and young Melusine. Right, they were Asterious, Moomo, Marina, and Lin-Ling.

I just arrived. Why do I feel angry?

Ciel felt strange. Seeing Asterious and the others bowing courteously to him while greeting, he did not feel pleased at all. The young man felt that something was stirring in his heart.

“Tuan ... lord .. lord.”

Conscious of his daydream, Ciel sees little Lin-Ling approaching him with a curious look. It made the servants, even Marina panicked.

“What's up, Lin-Ling?” ciel asked with a friendly smile.

“Papa says, sir don't eat little children. But ... but many say you eat little children? Doesn't it? Wrong?” The little melusine tilted her head with a cute expression.

When he heard the word ‘Papa’, Ciel felt that he was being hit by a critical attack. While at the moment of hearing the next question, Ciel's expression was instantly grim. He's really depressed. Even children begin to believe that they like to kidnap and eat small children.

Goddamnit! I want to go home! I want to read the book casually and forget all this nonsense!

Despite roaring inwardly, Ciel immediately returned a relaxed expression on his face. The young man lowered his head then stroked the little girl's head before replying, “Of course it's wrong. I don't eat children. In fact, rather than meat, I prefer fruits.”

“Really?” Lin-Ling tilted her head with an innocent expression.

“True,” replied Ciel with a faint smile.

“Tuan ... lord .. lord.”

“Iya?”

“Papa said, sir can use great magic? Like a snake glide past .. kaboom!” The little melusine moved her hand as if she was forming a huge explosion.

Seeing the exaggerated movements of the little one, Ciel could not help but look towards Asterious. The young man believed that the Minotaur adored him. It's just, talking about it to his daughter .. how to say it, unreliable and excessive.

Ciel plucked his finger. Then, at his fingertips was created a black fireball. The flame then formed a snake similar to the Shadowflame Great Serpent, only it was a mini version. The snake danced in his hand.

Realizing that Lin-Ling was looking at him in awe, Ciel raised the corner of her lips. He then pointed at the sky. The snake shot straight into the sky. A dozen meters in the air, the snake exploded like fireworks in the new year.

Lin-Ling immediately looked at Ciel with stars in her eyes. The little girl directly approached Ciel and hugged his leg. He shook Ciel's feet excitedly.

“Tuan .. lord ... teach Lin-Ling do it too, Mr.”

Seeing what Lin-Ling was doing, everyone immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Holding and wiggling the feet of a prince. Although he was young, such a thing could not be tolerated.

It could be considered as blasphemy to the Imperial Family!
