The Useless 8th Prince

Elena

The ice arrows came one by one. Ciel managed to crush him constantly with his sword. Only, the surrounding temperature dropped rapidly. He noticed the Dark Elf who kept trying to blow his head off.

“Can't we talk calmly? I just want to know why you're hiding in my territory. No less, no more.”

“…”

Not words, once again arrows came in response. It made Ciel frown. Sighing deeply, his expression gradually became serious.

“Herover you are the type of woman who must be ‘subjected’ before being spoken to.”

After saying that, the sword in Ciel's right hand was suddenly enveloped in black flames. He then directly shot towards the female Dark Elf. A few arrows were shot straight at him, but the young man easily repelled them. Getting near the woman, Ciel instantly swung his sword.

“With this sele-“

Not having time to finish his words, Ciel even jumped back. At where he was before, that Dark Elf woman had already shaken her dagger. If the young man was careless, there might already be a hole in his neck.

“What a flexible body,” Ciel said as he thrust a sword right into the neck of Dark Elf. Because the enemy did not hesitate to target the fatal point, he also did not hesitate to do the opposite.

Klang's!

The Dark Elf woman parried the sword of Ciel with a dagger shrouded in a cold aura. His figure then jumped back. The woman then looked closely at Ciel.

“I heard Prince Luciel was a useless man, but it turned out to be wrong. Already I guess .. all nobles are liars.”

A beautiful but cold voice sounded in the ears. Ciel stared at the Dark Elf woman in astonishment. Paras are beautiful, the body is beautiful and flexible, and the voice is also melodious. The young man clicked his tongue. If only the figure was not too cruel, surely she would be the woman that many men dream of.

Ciel looked at the Dark Elf woman who was observing him with a cold expression. Rather than a cold expression, it could be said that his expression was filled with hatred. It made the young man wonder in his heart.

I don't know you. If we ever meet, I won't forget the face of ‘striking’ like that. So why are you looking at me as if I'm the most disgusting piece of trash in the world? Isn't that overkill?

“I'm not a liar, ok? I'm just a slacker. They thought I was useless, but I never said I was in vain.” Ciel shook his head with a disapproving expression.

“Continue romancing ..”

The female Dark Elf suddenly disappeared from its place. When it appeared, he was already in front of the young man while slightly looking down. The woman then thrust a dagger right at Ciel's neck.

Klang's!

Damnit damnit! Absolutely no pleasantries!

Ciel exclaimed in his heart. Seeing slash after slash continuously eye, neck, heart, and various vital organs made the young man confused as to what to say. It seemed that the woman in front of him really intended to kill him.

Klang's! Klang's! Klang's!

“Give up, you can't beat me.” Ciel who repelled every dagger attack with his sword said with a sincere expression.

“A snobbish nobleman!” The Dark Elf woman snorted coldly.

Despite trying his hardest, the woman failed to land an attack on Ciel. When he slashed, his opponent would fend off. When he kicked the bottom, his opponent would jump lightly to avoid it. Easily, you could say that all the attacks are as predicted.

“I told you that-“

Klang's!

The Dark Elf in front of him was a level 3 demon like Old Man Kun. It's almost impossible to hurt him. Ciel then looked towards the woman. His figure lowered its head and did not look at him, but the magic energy from him surged rapidly.

Breaking through by force? Level 4's? Wasn't it! This is not a breakthrough.

Ciel looked towards the Dark Elf woman with an astonished expression. The hair that was originally black became half white, some parts of the body such as the hand holding the dagger were also colored with a slight white color, as if covered in snow or frozen.

Seeing that strange phenomenon, Ciel couldn't help but be surprised. He muttered, “Is this the Frost Heart effect?”

As Ciel called it, Frost Heart was an innate talent that Dark Elf women possessed. The reason that he knew that half the Trolls were fake was because Trolls could not possibly have such talent. Merely, the young man did not know which race's innate talent and was surprised that it was a Dark Elf.

Powerful ice magic control? Using magic to forcibly raise one level?

Truly an incredible innate talent.

Thought Ciel who was staring at the figure of the Dark Elves in astonishment.

...***...

“Elena!”

“Sir Elena!”

Closing his eyes, the voices of his mother and sister flashed in his mind. The Dark Elf woman named Elena suddenly recalled her past.

From childhood, he lived in the territory of a Count in the West Duchy (West Duchy). At the age of 10 years, the talent that was on him appeared and attracted the attention of the Count. Elena is recruited to be a witch, more precisely an archer capable of using magic.

His father died when he was 7 years old. At home, there was only his mother and sister. They were both very proud of him for being able to become a magician in the Count's army.

Time keeps passing. 15-year-old Elena has been made captain of the archers. In addition to archery, he and his comrades began to be taught the method of killing. After continuing to train and carry out missions for two years, Elena achieved an incredible feat.

Elena, a beautiful, strong, and kind Dark Elf girl was truly admired by many. Then, the Count's son who knew her beauty and talent was attracted to Elena. However, Elena disliked the arrogant man who came and suddenly told her to become a concubine.

The rejected Count's son finally left in anger, but Elena didn't think too much about it. After a month had passed, the woman was suddenly assigned to lead an archer army to help the fighting troops. But something strange happened, as if their route had been known, the opposing army surrounded them by several times more numbers. In the end, a massacre ensued.

Whether it was due to luck or fate, Elena managed to survive because she had fallen in the river with a rushing stream. The woman returned home despite her body being covered in wounds. Because he had been on the battlefield long enough, he knew that his mother and sister must be worried.

Upon arriving home after a long trip, Elena was surprised to find her mother and sister not home. He was about to find out something, but he accidentally heard rumors that he and his troops were sent to the battlefield to lure the enemy so that the main troops could escape. In other words, it was a suicide mission.

Not only that, after searching, Elena was informed that the families of the soldiers sent had been ‘groomed’ by the Count. Although it is said that ‘dirawat’ .. more precisely they are enslaved. Men are made into mine slaves, women who are less attractive are made ‘servants’ knights guard. While the beautiful woman, of course .. becomes a toy of nobility.

Elena suddenly recalled the Count's son who left angrily, her heart turning cold. He began to look for the whereabouts of his mother and sister. In the end, he found out about them. It's just, it's not good news.

The mother and daughter of the beautiful Dark Elves committed suicide when they were about to become noble slaves.

Hearing the story, Elena immediately searched the graves of her mother and sister. In the night where the torrential rain soaked the demon continent, the figure of the beautiful Dark Elf dug the grave ground with both hands. Seeing the two half-rotting figures lying within the ground, he could only roar full of hatred.

After the rain had subsided and the tomb was again covered by it, all the cries, cries, and sobs had disappeared. Only one thing remains …

Hatred of the nobles in his heart!
