The Useless 8th Prince
Zack's Request
Sitting in the lounge facing each other, Ciel and vexia looked at each other in silence.
At this moment, Ciel really felt sour. Aged in one room with her best friend's fiance. Despite not doing anything wrong, Ciel was afraid that bad rumors were spreading. That would hurt Zack.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, Mr.”
Isabella came to bring her a pot of herbal tea and some snacks and placed it on the table. He also poured one cup for Ciel and another cup for Vexia. After which, he stood behind Ciel obediently.
“Thank you, Isabella.” Ciel smiled gently, feeling somewhat relieved.
“It is my duty to serve you, My lord.”
Despite feeling something was slightly wrong with Isabella's tone, Ciel only shook his head lightly. He then looked at Vexia who was sitting across the table.
“Isabella is my faithful servant. So, you don't have to worry about the secret going to leak. If you want to talk about it, don't hold back, Miss Vexia.”
“Good.” Vexia nodded.
“...”
“Actually, I want you to persuade Young Master Zack to cancel the engagement, Prince Luciel.”
Ciel's eyes narrowed. It looks so cold and indifferent.
“Why?” ask Ciel briefly.
“Because we don't match.”
“You don't like Zack? Although a bit stupid, he is kind, strong, and popular.”
“I love him.” Vexia said calmly.
“...”
Ciel speechless. He felt that something was wrong with what was inside the head of the girl in front of him.
Youlove her? Then why do you even want to leave him?
“You mean ... You already have another man?”
“No.”
“You fell in love with the wrong person?”
“No.”
THEN WHAT!!!
Ciel exclaimed in his heart. For some reason, he increasingly considers women to be complicated creatures. The young man began to be confused.
“Then what's the benefit if I do that?” ask Ciel indifferently.
“Terasu. As long as I can give, I will do it.”
“What if I want you to be my fiancee?” ciel asked half-jokingly.
“Good.” Vexia nodded.
Ciel was instantly dumbfounded. Can't really guess what's inside Vexia's head.
“I'm just kidding.”
“I know.”
“How do you know?” Ciel raised his eyebrows.
“There is no way you are interested in a girl like me.”
“Who knows?” Ciel shook his head lightly, sipping his tea with a relaxed expression.
“From what I see, your fiance and waitress are so beautiful. Although I haven't met yet, I'm sure some of the people that Young Master Zack told me about also have a good figure.
I mean .. their bodies. I'm sure, you like women who have bodies like that.”
“Abviously I look like that?”
“No need to deny, Prince Luciel. Most men are like that.”
“...” Ciel was silent.
“See me. You definitely aren't interested, right?” Vexia said while pointing at her own that.
Uhuk! Uhuk! Uhuk!
Ciel immediately choked on the tea he drank. He looked at Vexia with a bitter smile. Didn't expect the girl to really surprise him.
“You know, Vexia? Every man has different tastes.” Ciel said seriously.
“You don't need to entertain me.”
Hearing Vexia's words, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. He could only take a long breath.
“That's why you want to break off the engagement?”
Hearing that answer, Ciel really felt like hitting the Goldfield Princess and Family.
“Yes. I am not very confident in my own growth. No, because I feel Young Master Zack is too obsessed with you ..”
“Obsessed with me?” Ciel. He immediately exclaimed, “I'm a normal man! Even if the female species disappeared from the world, I would rather die without being in a relationship than being in a relationship with a fellow man!”
“It looks like you misinterpreted, Prince Luciel.”
“What's wrong? You said the guy was obsessed. Tomorrow I'll kick him out or I can't sleep in peace.”
“I mean ... Young Master Zack always tries to imitate you.”
“...”
Ciel blinked, silently complaining inwardly.
You can change the word obsess, okay? Maybe a fanatic?
“Although he has good close combat talent. Since you have talent in melee combat and long-range magic, he tries to mimic. Wasting time for something unclear.
Then, Young Master Zack chose me as well because of you. Princess Ariana is beautiful, blonde, has a special eye pattern, and obedient.”
“...” Ciel couldn't deny it.
“However, I am different. Maybe I can imitate Princess Ariana in her attitude. Learn many things to please Young Master Zack. Only, there are some things that cannot be changed. Like physical development for example.”
“Zack is just still worried. Hurry up or draw he'll understand. As long as you are together, can't love grow over time?” said Ciel.
Yes ... That's what people say. Witing trisno, jalaran soko kulino.
Thought Ciel with a bitter smile. He has a lot of beautiful women around him. But everyone's love experience is different. So, the young man could not compare to him.
“That's what I'm afraid of, Prince Luciel.” Vexia smiled bitterly.
“You mean ..”
“I can't explain it in detail,” said Vexia. “Only, I want the best for Young Master Zack. She is too good for me, and girls like me .. feel inappropriate.”
“He's just stupid.” Ciel said relax. “He doesn't even know people are using him. In fact, maybe a person like me is just pretending to be friends with him.”
“You are wrong, Prince Luciel!”
“...”
“Indeed, Young Master Zack is stupid, sometimes unreliable, careless, and lacking. But in terms of feelings, he was a very sensitive person.
He knew who was truly sincere or intended to take advantage of him. Despite knowing people were using him, he still accepted and played his part.
He is a VERY GOOD man! That's also the reason I love her, wish her all the best.”
“Then be the best for him.”
“Me-”
“Isabella.” Ciel said briefly, cutting off Vexia's speech.
Isabella plucked her slender fingers. Using illusion magic, the formerly chatty Vexia suddenly shuts up and falls asleep. Vexia who is only a level 2 demon cannot resist the magic of Isabella who is a level 4 demon.
Ciel took a long breath. He then said, “You've heard everything right, Zack? Come inside. Bring your sweet fiance back to his room.”
The door of the room opens. Zack's figure who had a serious appearance entered the room.
“That silly girl knows you so well, Zack. It's only right you want to get engaged to her.”
“...” Zack was silent.
“Why? Feeling embarrassed?” ask Ciel.
Zack looked at Ciel with a serious expression. “Let me and Vexia stay here, Ciel. I'll work under you. You can order me to lead an army and finish off the enemy.”
“Why?” Ciel tilted his head.
“I'm too weak. I don't have the strength to protect myself. Not to mention protecting my family and the people I care about.”
“Reason sense.” Ciel nodded.
“So ... You agree, Ciel?” Zack was shocked to see Ciel nodding.
Ciel tilted his head while staring with an indifferent expression.
“I just said sense. Who approved you staying here?”
“...”
“Of course I refused. You have to go home.”
Seeing the annoying expression on Ciel's face, Zack was completely stunned.
