One week later, Jade Water Castle.
In the party room, Ciel appears to be at the same table as Savian and Ferel. The three of them could be considered as important guests. Ferel could be considered a representative of the Guldebell Family. Savian was considered a representative of Duke Raevern.
As for Ciel, he was the overlord of the Blackfield region. Without the title of Prince, he was already on par with a Marquis.
The party held this time was also for the younger generation. While the feast for the men of the leaders of the region and the region, had been conducted three days earlier. Ciel actually also got an invitation to the party.
Ciel decided to retaliate if he was not present. In exchange, he will join the party of the younger generation. It was not that the answer made the nobles angry. They even felt very relieved.
Because of Ciel's age, even though he could be considered a Marquis, the nobles would feel awkward around him. Not to mention comparing themselves to him.
Ciel's public power of level 5 (end) had already exceeded the strength of most Marquis in the Black Sun Empire. If it was in a neighboring kingdom, perhaps the young man was considered to be on par with a Duke.
However, if you count the original Ciel's strength. That young man had already exceeded three of the four dukes of the Black Sun Empire. As for the neighboring kingdom, its power was already on par with a King.
Of course, Ciel would not say such a thing carelessly. In addition to being for security, he believed in keeping more trump cards. The young man also learned, trump cards should not only be used when urgent.
That is, do not be late using it. If it's too late, a defeat like the one against Aragil is the answer. The trump card will be better used at the right time.
Besides that reason, Ciel also had another reason. Although the kingdoms around the Black Sun Empire were weaker, they numbered quite a lot. There were also some powerful Empires that were in more distant locations.
Even without having to fight against other empires, the kingdoms around the Black Sun Empire were already considered dangerous due to their numbers. Although weaker, hordes of hyenas can knock down a lion.
“You look bored, Prince Ciel.”
Savian's voice resuscitated Ciel from his daydream. Without realizing it, they were both sitting. Ciel immediately scanned around and found the person he was looking for.
Is correct. Ciel's looking for Ferel.
Looking at Ferel who was strolling here and there to tease the noble girl, Ciel looked grim. He felt that the dignity of Golden Dusk dropped by several levels due to the presence of that fellow.
It seems beating him isn't enough. Next time, I'll stuff a bucket of animal fat, sugar, and honey into his mouth. Returns the boy to his original form ... round and harmless!
Ferel suddenly shakes. Looking around, he finally realized that Ciel was observing him with a cold gaze. Swallowing the saliva, the young man recalled the incident at Black Orchid Castle. In one day, he was actually beaten three times. Even her father who she considered cruel was not that crazy.
Not to mention, Ciel tied him up like a dumpling and then hung him upside down on a large tree in front of the main building of the castle. Not an hour or two, but a full night. That left Ferel almost traumatized.
After that incident, Ferel understood one thing in his heart.
Don't provoke that madman!
Ferel hated Ciel and wanted to report him to his father, Count Guldebell. But he stopped. After remembering that the prince was stronger than his father, Ferel imagined his father ‘diajari’ by the younger generation.
Imagining his father hanging upside down all night, Ferel broke out in a cold sweat. The Guldebells will no longer have a face in South Duchy. Not just in South Duchy, but in the entire Black Sun Empire.
Ferel immediately stopped teasing the noble girl and returned to the seat near Savian obediently.
“It looks like you have fun, Ferel?”
“...”
That look .. don't tell me this madman will tie me up like a dumpling in front of this many noble children!
Ferel cried out in his heart. His back was already soaked with cold sweat.
SAVIAN! You are truly my best friend! Thank you!
Ferel was moved when he saw Savian defending him.
“Yes. Everyone is different. But I also don't like to see him go around flirting with those innocent girls. You must punish him, Prince Ciel!” added Savian.
“...”
Ferel fell silent. He looked at his friend with a pale face.
Damnit damnit! You sold me instead! Give me back my gratitude, motherfucker!
Seeing the expression on Ferel's fickle face, Ciel and Savian were already unable to hold back any longer. Both chuckle. It shook its head lightly after seeing Ferel's silly face.
“Sial! It turns out this is bullish! You guys are really mean,” Ferel said with a depressed expression.
“That's your fault.” Savian is not entertaining at all. “However it is true, if you defame our group by teasing those innocent girls ... Prince Ciel will hang you three days and three nights.”
“I didn't tease them! I'm trying to make a relationship for our trade going forward.” Ferel said with a stern expression.
“Although while occasionally glancing at the front and back of the girl you are talking to?” Ciel tilted his head.
“Ya ... it ... anu ..” Ferel getting nervous. “You know, Prince Ciel. Making contact with young people is boring. It would be better while teasing girls, right? How to say ... while diving drink water?”
Seeing the nervous expression mixed with Ferel's embarrassment, Ciel really wanted to hit him on the spot. It was just that, at that moment, a young man approached them.
Typical western blond hair, blue eyes, and an ordinary but quite dignified face. That person was quite tall and had a sincere smile on his face. He was the host and first son of Count Jadewine, Baxter Jadewine.
“Goodnight Prince Luciel, the brightest sun in this Black Sun Empire.
I am very happy for your arrival. In addition to welcoming you at the previous door, forgive me for just talking to you. Honestly ... I feel very nervous as if talking to the figure of ‘Emperor’ from the future.
I have great admiration for you, Prince Luciel. The figure of a level 5 (late) demon at such a young age. Even my 21-year-old is just a level 3 demon, completely trash compared to you.
I ...”
Hearing a long speech from Baxter, Ciel blinked. That young man has seen a lot of fucking sycophants. But compared to the orator in front of him, they were still at a newbie level.
The figure that was still speaking in front of him was truly an expert sycophant!
Despite already knowing Ciel would not be affected, being a meaningless compliment, Baxter still did so to show his sincerity. After speaking long, wide, high times .. Baxter bent forty-five degrees near Ciel.
At that moment, Baxter's whispering voice sounded.
“After the party, please don't go straight away, Prince Luciel. There is an important thing I want to talk about.”
After which, Baxter smiled kindly before leaving the three people behind. Everyone who did not know what Baxter last whispered looked at him with disdain. The nobles thought him quite stupid and silly. In fact, not shameless!
Ciel looked at Baxter's back with a strange glint in his eyes. The corner of his lips slightly lifted when a word was spoken from his lips.
“Attracting.”
