The Useless 8th Prince

Less Common-Sense

Elena who was looking down suddenly opened her eyes. The hair that was previously half black and white instantly turned completely white. He jumped back while throwing a dagger at Ciel. Before the young man in front of him retaliated, he moved his right foot to the ground.

At that very instant, a sharp giant chunk of ice emerged from the ground and headed towards Ciel. Loud explosions were heard accompanied by white smoke puffs. When the smoke disappeared, almost all the areas around Elena and Ciel froze.

Elena looked at the chunk of ice in front of her with a cold expression. Inside the giant chunk of ice, there was a figure of Ciel frozen there, even the black flames on his sword had also been extinguished.

The beautiful Dark Elf suddenly fell to his knees. Her hair turned black again, magic began to fade from her body. He suddenly closed his mouth and coughed. Red liquid flowed through both of his hands and then fell onto the ice. His facial expression turned pale and his body trembled.

Looking up towards the giant chunk of ice in front of her, Elena muttered, “No way.”

Elena suddenly felt a bad feeling. Sure enough, suddenly the ground shook violently, cracks after cracks appeared on the giant chunks of ice in front of him. He tried to stand up but fell back down. The woman was physically exhausted and ran out of mana.

There was no loud explosion. The ice fell and began to melt. The temperature suddenly rose, the ice and water began to evaporate into puffs of smoke. In the thick smoke, a silhouette stood up without saying a word. All Elena could see was a pair of eyes of different colors. Those eyes looked at him with contempt.

“Cannot ... uhuk!” Elena coughed back. “It should be that attack could kill a level 4 demon!”

“Level 4? Isn't the answer obvious ..” Ciel's indifferent voice sounded.

“Hahahaha ..”

A bland laugh emerged from Elena's lips. He reproaches himself. The woman felt she had done something ridiculous.

“Forcing yourself to break through level 4 and then use the entire mana to kill a Prince. I thought I could meet mom and sister with pride, but ... high-level demons at 15? Who would believe that?” elena muttered with a blank expression on her face.

After saying that, Elena suddenly collapsed.

...***...

Opening her eyes, Elena felt a softness and warmth beneath her. He was shocked when he realized he was lying on a large and soft bed. The woman was about to get up but failed, she saw that both her hands and feet were handcuffed.

Elena looked at her clothes that had been transformed into exquisite clothes, usually used by low-class nobles. He knew that this must be the clothes of Ciel's servant. Instead of feeling happy, the woman felt pain right in her heart.

Damnit damnit! I've been running and hiding for five years. Why....why does something like this happen to me? I haven't even got a chance to avenge my mother and sister!

Elena bit her lips. Crystal-clear tears involuntarily flowed from her beautiful bead. As his mind began to wander, suddenly the door of the room opened. A calm looking figure of Ciel walked into the room while carrying a cup of coffee.

“Available?” ask Ciel.

“Basic animals! Kill me!”

Elena roared furiously. The woman wanted to kill herself, but she couldn't. He might be able to bite his own tongue, losing blood to death. Frost Heart would not allow it. One of the effects of his innate talent was to quickly freeze the wound. Although the regeneration rate was not high, he was still able to heal slowly.

“Why should I kill you?” Ciel looked at Elena with a strange expression.

“Batang perang! I ... I ..” Elena realized that her screams were useless. Now he has been arrested and will definitely be made ‘toy’ by the Prince in front of him. The woman felt helpless.

“I have a name, ok? I'm Luciel Dawnbringer. You can call me Prince Luciel.”

“…”

“Nby the way ... what's your name?”

Elena looked at Ciel who was sitting on the edge of the bed while looking at her with a friendly gaze. After quite a while of hesitation, he said, “Elena.”

“Elena? What a good name. May I know why you're hiding in my territory?”

“…”

Does he feel guilty? Nah! The nobles did not even blink their eyes while slaughtering people they did not like. Then why?

Question after question came to Elena's mind. The woman looked at Ciel with an expression filled with doubt. After some time of thinking, he let out a long sigh.

“I'm a fugitive.”

“Buronan?”

Looking at Ciel who was looking at him doubtfully, Elena nodded. But it was not anger or scorn that came out of Ciel's mouth, but other extraordinary things.

“Thank God you're a fugitive.”

Be grateful? Is there something wrong with the head of this Prince?

Elena began to doubt her life. The woman looked at Ciel as if she was looking at a silly man. He wondered why someone as great as Ciel could be so stupid.

“Why are you looking at me like I'm a rare primate?”

“…”

“You just don't know it. I actually just want to live a relaxed and quiet life in the Imperial Palace. Sunbathing in the morning while enjoying delicious fruit wine. Read a book when bored ..”

Elena looked at Ciel with a blank expression. The woman listened to the Prince who told her about life, freedom, and the like. For some reason, he felt that the man in front of him was not too bad. Ciel looks young, handsome, strong, and has a great background.

This prince has the possibility of becoming the next Emperor!

“P-Prince Luciel ..” call Elena with doubt.

“Finally you want to talk,” said Ciel with a smile on his face. “What's up?”

“If you catch me not because I am a fugitive ... is there another reason?”

Elena is ready to receive answers and ridicule like ‘because you will be one of my collections’ or ‘because from now on you will serve me’. But the answer the woman received was again different from the one she had imagined.

“Isn't that obvious because of the information? First of all ... tell me about yourself. Long name, city of birth, and all about you.”

After thinking of something, Elena finally said, “My name is Elena. As a civilian, I have no last name. I ...”

Elena started talking about herself. From his hometown, his childhood, to the tragedy that befell him. He actually also wanted to know how Ciel responded. Was Ciel going to insult him for trying to fight the nobles? Or just give another response.

Finished telling all her life stories, Elena looked at Ciel. The woman was shocked when she saw the Prince staring blankly. As if only coming to his senses from his daydream, the man opened his mouth.

“Is there anything like it?”

Is this guy really ridiculous? As a member of the Imperial family, why didn't he know the basic things about the nobles?

This prince really lacks common sense!

If Ciel knew what Elena was thinking, the young man would definitely protest.

I just want to live a quiet and peaceful life without thinking about other things. Selfish? What's wrong about that? Besides ... I'm not a hero who has to carry the burden of the world, ok?
