The Useless 8th Prince

Four Way Attack

In the town of Scarlet Roze, where Marquis Bathory ruled, Marquis Bathory's troops were repulsed.

Not because the Marquis of Bathory's army was weak, but because their enemies were too numerous. The town of Scarlet Roze was besieged by hundreds of thousands of soldiers led by Duke Raevern along with several other nobles. It's really putting a lot of pressure on Marcus Bathory.

The Scarlet Roze Castle's.

A silver-haired handsome young man neatly combed back knelt on the floor. His red eyes that looked like rubies trembled slightly when he glanced at the figure sitting in front of him.

Other than that young man, many people were in the room. Everyone has the same characteristics. Silver hair, pale white skin, ruby-like red eyes, and moderately pointed ears. They are all Vampires.

Because vampires love beauty, they sometimes change their appearance by coloring their hair, wearing makeup or jewelry. However, silver hair and red eyes, it was their embodiment and hallmark.

“I know that Mark was wrong, Honey. But there is no need for you-”

“Shut!”

The figure that looked quite young, looked extremely handsome glared at the woman who spoke for the young man kneeling in front of him. Marcus Bathory, often called Marquis of Bathory. In this meeting, all the families put on their war clothes and remove all useless makeup.

The young man in front of Marcus is the only son of Marquis of Bathory, Mark Bathory. Of course, as a father, Marcus did not scold Mark for no apparent reason. However, his son had made a fatal mistake.

“That's all wrong daughter of the Roschild Family, Mark altogether-”

“I SAID SILENT!” Marcus glared at his wife with an unhappy expression. “One more time you speak, I will cut off your tongue!”

“...”

Hearing the cruel words of her husband, Marcus's wife was instantly silent. She knew how cruel her husband was. If the guy says he's going to cut, he's going to cut.

“Sial! Why do I have such a stupid son.” Marcus tapped the handle of the chair with his finger. His expression was so grim. He kept muttering, “The Roschild family ..”

The Roschild family, a family with the title of Count nobility. A noble family that became one of the eight subordinates of Marquis Bathory. Marcus is furious with them because the men have framed his son and leaked secrets.

Other than the two noble families bearing the title of Viscount who knew what the Bathory Family was doing, the other six noble families under him did not understand at all. They were indeed loyal to the Marquis, but the six families were naturally more afraid and more loyal to the Black Sun Empire.

Mark Bathory, famous for playing with beautiful women. The daughter of Count Roschild approaches Mark and expresses interest. Due to being famous and getting the title of the most beautiful girl in the Marquis of Bathory, of course Mark happily approached her.

After becoming closer and familiar in a month more, at the time of drinking wine, the girl deliberately expressed her interest in ‘’mu medis’ because she does not have good talent. The girl fantasized that she could be stronger.

Mark who was drunk at that time became excited. He began to reveal that the Bathory Family had a certain experiment to make the devil stronger. The young man even boasted that as long as the girl was willing to be his lover, after the experiment was over, he would make the girl become stronger without having to attach any importance to talent.

After the incident, the girl reported it to her father, Count Roschild. Count Roschild himself was willing to do such a thing because it was ruled by Duke Raevern. Duke Raevern said, as long as he found solid evidence that Marquis Bathory was waging a rebellion, he would appoint Count Roschild as the next Marquis.

Of course, from a middle-class noble to a high-class noble, Count Roschild was very excited to find plenty of evidence. Moreover, he had even invited the three Viscounts who were not too close to the Marquis of Bathory to support him. As for the other two Counts, he had no intention of divulging any important news as both of them could become rivals for the next Marquis title.

After the evidence was gathered and reported to Duke Raevern, that fellow was truly enraged when he saw the Marquis of Bathory betray and instead ally with the so dangerous organization of the Curses of Shadow. He immediately gathered six nobles under him and invited Ciel to besiege Marquis Bathory.

In the attack, the nobles of the South Duchy had the help of Count Roschild and his three allies to enter the territory of the Marquis of Bathory. Being caught off guard was not too ready, Marquis Bathory who was attacked from all directions was under intense pressure.

One by one the regions were conquered by the Alliance of Nobles of South Duchy and in the end left the Scarlet Roze City. Marquis Bathory who was a level 5 (medium) demon was certainly no match for Duke Raevern who was a level 6 (early) demon.

In the end, the previous former Marquis, Marcus' father who was the pillar of the Bathory Family, the only level 6 (early) demon led an army to head off Duke Raevern and the nobles.

Despite carrying a modified army (experimental result) that was stronger than ordinary demon troops, Marquis Bathory was still cornered. In the end, he had the entire Bathory Family left to gather.

Of course, most of the family members were very dissatisfied because they were in danger of death. It was caused by Marcus' son, which made Marcus even more depressed.

“It seems that you do not deserve to be the Head of the Bathory Family, Marcus.”

Marcus turned to the source of the voice. There was a middle-aged man who was Marcus' own older brother. It was just that, because his talent was bad enough, he failed to become the head of the family.

“...”

Marcus said nothing. He stood up from his chair and walked over to his brother.

“What are you trying to do, Marc-”

Before the man finished his words, Marcus immediately cut off his head. After which, he walked back expressionlessly and stood in front of his son.

“Dad, this son knows that he made a mistake-”

The silver sword again swung, Mark's head instantly severed from his body then rolling around on the floor. The head that had not completely lost consciousness looked at his father with wide eyes. I can't believe that his own father killed him.

“The family traitor has been overcome. With this, there should be no problem ... right?” marcus asked with a grim expression.

The entire Bathory Family looked at each other with shocked expressions. They all shook their heads, not intending to refute Marcus who had lost his temper.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

“Log in!” marcus said in a cold voice.

The door opened, a black-robed figure entered the room. Unknown to his gender, the person looked extremely secretive and mysterious. Yes ...he was the Alchemist master of the Curses of Shadow organization who had been helping Marcus in his experiments.

“Not good, Sir. The experiment is in its final stages. It's impossible to move. If forced, it would obviously be a failure. Is not possible-”

“Enough!” Marcus said with an annoyed expression. “You guys, Curses of Shadow himself knows the situation! It's impossible to stay here for too long. Aren't you also a general? Why don't you have the strength like other Generals!”

The Alchemist Master clenched his hand. Shuffling lightly, he replied, “My reason for being a General is obviously due to my Alchemist abilities. You're clear on that. Your team ... forget.”

“How about reinforcements?” ask Marcus.

“I didn't hear from.” The Alchemist Master once again shook his head.

“Junk!” Marcus looked angry.

Marcus is in a state of urgency. Thinking of attacks from four directions and it was almost impossible to win if against, he finally made a decision.

“Crack up and bring what can be brought. Put it in the ring and bag space. We'll retreat through the secret passage!”
