The Useless 8th Prince

The Waiting Time

After the black lightning around Theo disappeared, he opened his eyes. Seeing the master pat his back gently, Theo was surprised. Then, all the memories of the fight that had happened before went into his brain. He held his head with a pained expression.

Conscious and recalling everything that happened, Theo looked extremely shocked. He himself had heard what the young Lycan should do during the resurrection. But out of fear of danger, Theo wants his mother to stop him. Not too worried even if he is ‘cacat’. Most importantly, my mother is fine.

Theo had not expected, his master had really helped him in the awakening. Not only that, he sensed that there was a strange power fusing and changing within him. Most likely it was the strength of his master. Looking at the wound on Ciel's palm that was about to heal, Theo felt like crying.

“Tuan .. i-”

“Theo, try to show you the magic you just mastered.”

Seeing Ciel stop hugging him, Theo was somewhat dazed. He then saw Ciel's gaze directed at him. Theo's expression became more serious. He raised his right hand, then a small black-colored lightning danced in his hand.

Sure enough, his innate skill mutated .. rather evolved.

Ciel who learned many things from his teacher did not remember that an innate skill could evolve. As he knew, there were some evil ways that could be done to get another innate skill. Like Jean who had obtained the Entomancer skill due to an experiment.

Then ... is it because of the resurrection ritual?

Ciel wondered in his heart. He feels a strange bond with Theo. Although he had originally made a blood contract, now the young man felt that he was close to Theo.

“Blood relationship?” mumbling Ciel. Shaking lightly, he then said, “Quite.”

Theo stopped his movement. After some hesitation, he could not help but ask.

“Master, why do I feel there is a change in my magic?” theo asked with a cautious expression.

I don't understand it myself. Maybe it was because of my blood?

Ciel wondered in his heart. Usually, if a different blood is injected into the body of another creature, if it is a little. If it is too much, it will become toxic and make the body unbalanced. Yes ... if it is directly injected into the blood vessels.

If eaten, it usually does not affect anything. Unless the blood contains poison, only the person who eats it will be poisoned. But Theo's condition was completely different than usual. So Ciel was convinced, it was because of the blood he gave when Theo was about to complete the resurrection.

If my blood and flesh could really awaken one's power …

Ciel suddenly shuddered in horror. She was afraid she would become ‘Biksu Tang’ in the story of the trip to the west. Considered the tonic of the demons, it is hunted day and night. Not to mention, Ciel also understood that in this world, the demons were crazier than the demons in the story.

“Theo, you have to keep what happened this time.” Ciel then looked towards Jenny. “You should also keep this a secret, Jenny.”

“Good, Mr.” Theo said obediently.

Jenny who saw Ciel's serious expression also nodded. The woman had other thoughts. In his mind, if the other people knew Theo had magic similar to Ciel, they would obviously be jealous and put Theo in danger.

Not only that, Jenny thinks that Ciel treats Theo like his own family. Although Ciel was only three or four years older than Theo. In Jenny's eyes, Ciel looked so mature and completely adoptive father to her son.

Ciel was not aware of what Jenny was thinking. He was busy watching around. Although the moves Theo made were quite eye-catching, after the guards saw Ciel, they immediately returned to their respective posts. Really dare not interrupt what their master is doing.

Seeing that the one watching them was only Isabella hiding in the shadow of the night and Elena who was observing with sharp eyes from a distance, Ciel let out a long sigh.

Mercifully. I don't need to silence people and increase the number of murders.

If people knew what Ciel was thinking, they would definitely find him a bit crazy and overly cautious. Just for fear of a little news leaking, Ciel was actually willing to kill a few people. Even those who accidentally hear it.

“Theo, you should hide your magic and only use it in the crucial moment. For magic training, I will teach you personally in your spare time.”

The tilted his head with a puzzled expression, but immediately replied, “Good, Mr.”

Ciel understood Theo's confusion. After all, usually a tutor would be easier to teach students with magic that is quite similar. Although there were some tutors who could teach across the elements, their understanding of other elemental magic was somewhat lacking.

In response to Theo's hesitation, Ciel raised his left hand. Black lightning appeared around the hands. It looks so smooth and cruel, as if the snake is dancing and ready to attack its prey.

Seeing Theo's gaze unable to hide his shock, Ciel raised the corner of his lips.

“As a descendant of the Dawnbringer Family, of course I should have black lightning, right?” Ciel chuckles.

Looking at Ciel, Theo continued to nod with an excited expression. The boy did not expect that his master had been hiding another magic all along.

Gravity magic, fire magic, ice magic .. Now the master said that it turned out to have strong and fast lightning magic.

Seeing the amazed Theo, Ciel stopped. He immediately gave the order.

“You must be tired. Soon return with your mother and rest.”

“Good, Tuan”

After all was done, everyone returned to their respective places to rest.

...***...

Time passed so quickly, without notice, it had already entered the three months of spring.

Ciel who was sitting in his office alone read a report with a calm expression. His gaze looked so sharp and dangerous. Laying down the report, Ciel let out a long sigh.

In this time, not much has happened. Everything Ciel arranged had gone in a proper and steady position. Power in the military and economy is growing fast to the point that it can feel the impact.

However, the ... report more precisely the letter sent by Savian this time made Ciel very serious. What Savian showed him was the recent movement of Marquis Bathory.

Not to mention, the evidence that Marquis Bathory was involved with the Curses of Shadow had been pinned down by the Savian. Of course, Savian reported it not only to Ciel, but also to Duke Raevern.

Ciel and Duke Raevern agreed not to make any moves, leaving Marquis Bathory unsuspecting to them. In his plan, Ciel intends to make a move as he goes into the first month of summer.

Merely, the movements of Marquis Bathory this time were really getting suspicious and unsettling. Waiting a month later, Ciel and Duke Raevern fear bad things happen and are instead late. So ... both are preparing for the siege.

Ciel closed his eyes. He had prepared a lot for this war. It was just that, somehow he felt a sign of danger.

Closing his eyes, Ciel recalled his defeat against Aragil. At the time, he was not playing seriously. In addition to holding the level, he also held back a lot of magic that he knew. Due to carelessness and taking the enemy too lightly, he ended up losing.

Opening his eyes, Ciel looked so calm and cold.

“Whatever obstacles stand in the way, this mission must be a success.”
