The Useless 8th Prince

Asterious Return

“What do you think about that, Clark?”

Chieftain, Clark's adoptive father looked at his son with a serious expression. Obviously, he wanted Clark to decide his own life. Absolutely not curb or force him to do all things according to his will.

“I ..”

Clark was silent for a long time. He considered everything. Despite being treated badly in the village, Clark is also not sure he will be treated well at Ciel's place. It was possible that, even though Ciel treated him well, the people in the neighborhood treated him badly like the Centaurs in the tribe.

“Have you ever heard of changes about Blackrock City?” ask Ciel.

Zod and Clark shook their heads, while the chief looked pensive. He took a long breath.

“I think it's just a made-up story. But since you said it yourself, you made a special area race Heteromorph ... is it true?” the chief looked curious.

“Iya.” Ciel nodded. “Different from the Centaur race which actually prefers to live in the forest and blend with nature, most other Heteromorph races actually want to appear in the world. Only, the world itself rejected them. So ... I created a place where they could perform without caring about speech or insults.”

“Such a place ..”

Clark was surprised when he first heard it. I can't believe such a place exists in the world. He looked at Ciel with a more astonished expression, a kind of adoration look.

Zod who saw Clark excited suddenly smiled. Indeed, he was also shocked and amazed, but as Ciel said .. as Centaur, he preferred the forest environment.

Among the Centaurs, perhaps only the kind who were born and raised as slaves like Zenara had no special feelings towards the forest. After all, Zenara or Centaur slaves were born and raised without seeing the forest. Usually in the houses of slave sellers in some big cities.

Zod suddenly said, “Don't hold back, Clark.”

“Kakak .. I ..” Clark looks so serious. He then looked towards Ciel then looked down respectfully. “From now on please guide him, Mr.”

“Good.” Ciel nodded with a satisfied expression.

Clark's parents won't say a word like ‘please take care of our son’ or something. After all, they also understood how dangerous the outside world was Not to mention, following Ciel meant plunging into battle. They can only pray for the safety of their son.

“Then you pack up immediately. We'll leave after breakfast.”

“Good, Master!”

Clark nodded with a serious expression.

...***...

Two weeks later at Black Lily Castle.

Ciel looked so relaxed while lying on Ariana's thigh. It had been three days since he had returned from the Centaur tribe. Of course, after arranging the Abyssal Basilisk into a suitable cage and taking good care of the eggs, the young man spent some time relaxing.

In addition to arranging the new abyssal Basilisk residence, Ciel also made a soul contract with Clark. The person really did not reject it and immediately agreed.

Clark himself was surprised when he arrived at Black Lily Castle, he did not expect to live in such a grand building. Despite not living in the castle's main building, Clark still felt he lived in a luxurious place. After all, he had previously lived in a wooden house made from natural materials.

What surprised Clark even more was the attitude of the servants and knights. They did not insult her at all, but rather looked curious and hopeful. The reason was simple, the person personally recruited by their master, Ciel, was usually not just anyone.

The people Ciel recruited must have an advantage. Even if it was a Minotaur race like the Asterious, the righteous were amazed by its strength on the battlefield. No matter how bad he looked, in this world, a strong person still had their own respect.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

“Log in!” ciel said casually.

Isabella entered the room. Looking at Ciel who was lying casually on Ariana's lap, she smiled. The woman then reported.

“Asterious back, Sir. There seems to be an important thing to talk about with you.”

“True.”

Hearing that answer, Ciel felt somewhat dissatisfied with Asterious' undisciplined attitude. After sighing, he finally gave the order.

“Let him rest first. Later in the afternoon, tell him to come to the study. I wonder why he came back. If it wasn't for anything important ..” Ciel's eyes are squeaking, looking quite threatening.

Without feeling it, a few hours just passed.

In the workspace, Ciel looked sitting opposite Asterious. Looking at Asterious, the young man frowned. The reason is because .. Minotaur it really looks skinny and haggard.

“Why is your appearance messy, Asterious?”

“Master! You should stop assigning me as a leader in Blackrock City.”

Looking at Asterious frightened expression, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. He became more curious.

“Why?”

“Of course because taking care of a lot of documents is too confusing! I can't do it!”

Seeing Asterious who looked like a frightened student because the thesis was not finished yet and the deadline was almost here, Ciel felt somewhat amused. Trying to stop imagining silly things, Ciel shook his head lightly.

“Didn't Moomo and Marina help you?” ask Ciel.

Asterious pensive. He murmured, “In addition to releasing stress, they do not help too much.”

Hearing that, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. Asterious was indeed several years older than him. But looking at the expression that says ‘other than in bed, they are less useful.’ it makes Ciel really want to hit the buffalo's head on the spot.

After trying to calm down, Ciel finally thought about it carefully. Moomo, as a fellow Minotaur, seemed to lack education. But having been taught by Isabella before, it seems less developed.

While Marina, she was indeed quite intelligent. However, previously the woman was only a housewife and first lady. Such affairs might still be beyond his comprehension.

Ciel finally thought of Kun. The old man, though alone, had already done many missions and learned a lot from the Marquis of Bathory. So ... Compared to the two women, he was better. Only, it was impossible to get Kun to go to Blackrock City.

Ciel did not want Asterious to rely too much on Kun. Because Jean is already in charge of Greenscale City, if Kun intervenes in Blackrock City. The power of Ciel's subordinates would only be centralized to the Kun family. He himself wanted everything to be shared more evenly.

After pondering for quite a while, Ciel finally recalled one of the members from the old army.

Because it was complicated enough to merge, the armies of the new and old major divisions were finally separated. Ciel is certainly more focused on the new team he made himself. But that doesn't mean he's forgotten about the old army.

The old soldiers were also trained, but not so hard. They also have the same salary. As for jobs, they would be city guards, city wall supervisors, and so on. Things are more common but cannot be left out.

If likened, the old forces were directed by Ciel as a police officer. The new division was directed by Ciel as a soldier. Of course, their duties are different.

The corner of Ciel's lips suddenly lifted.

“Isabella.”

The door opened and the figure of Isabella waiting outside the room came in.

“I wait for your order, Tuanku.”

With a smile on his face, Ciel said firmly.

“Call Ronn from the old team to come here.”
