The Useless 8th Prince

Suits you

Four weeks later.

Twenty days after Camellia fell asleep, Ciel set off for Scarlet Roze City. The reason he left the girl was because he already knew the approximate time Camellia woke up. In the records he read, at most, normally a Bloodborne would rise after fifty days.

It was also the wrong reason why Bloodborne was difficult to rise and become extinct. Under such conditions, they were very easy to kill. That was also the reason why any Bloodborne who performed the blood ritual had to set up a hiding place in order to keep them safe.

On the way this time, Ciel left together with Shana. The reason is actually simple ..the girl wants to meet her best friend, Arla.

Because the saddle on Deschia's back was special for one person and it was impossible to hold Shana on a long enough trip, so Ciel decided to use a slower horse carriage.

Of course, Ciel had upgraded the horse carriage that the low-class horse pulled into being pulled by two level 3 Demon horses in black. He also changed the carriage to be more luxurious. At the very least, it was in class with the carriage used by a Marquis.

Also, what Ciel needed most was of course the decorations in the carriage. He decided to use strong materials at once comfortable, making himself able to feel relaxed while lazing on the way.

Having been a mercenary, Shana can be both a companion and a coachman for Ciel. The woman also understood her duty. After all, without her, Ciel could have come to the party sooner. However, the young man still allowed him to come along to meet his best friend.

Unlike other noble children who like to be accompanied by knight riding, Ciel clearly chose a more simple and concise journey. Rather than some level two riding knights who only met the numbers, he would rather move by himself or bring one or two people whom he considered to be ‘good enough’.

After more than a month, the Scarlet Roze City that had originally sustained damage had been revitalized. Many buildings have been rebuilt. Clearly, the new Marquis really put a lot of money and effort into it. However, there were still many nobles who were dissatisfied with him.

The reason was simple, Marquis Roschild could be said to be jumping over the queue. Looking closely, the Roschilds were actually nobles under Marquis Bathory, not directly from Duke Raevern.

If it was in normal condition, it should be one of the five Counts under Duke Raevern who should ascend to the position of Marquis. However, Count Roschild actually passed through the queue due to special conditions and was eventually appointed Marquis. This caused a lot of dissatisfaction.

Of course, Duke Raevern understood that as well. However, if he were to move one of the Counts to take care of the territory of Marquis Bathory, there would be too many unstable things in South Duchy.

The Blackfield region that was acquired by Ciel, the change of landowner to the Jadewine Family in Jade Water City, and now the problem with the Scarlet Roze territory.

If there were to be a transfer of nobles, almost half of the territory in South Duchy would be chaotic, so Duke Raevern was forced to raise one of the Counts within the territory to immediately stabilize Scarlet Roze's territory. That's the best choice.

Other than one lost territory, two of the seven noble-run territories under Duke Raevern were still somewhat vulnerable. That's the best choice. If he were to origin move nobles, perhaps four or five of the seven regions would be chaotic. Really makes for more headaches.

In a vulnerable position and the presence of the movements of the Curses of Shadow organization, Duke Raevern could not wait long enough for the territory to stabilize. Every precious time. So, he chose to make the decision in such a way.

Nobles are complicated. Although they knew the reason for Duke Raevern, the four Counts were still dissatisfied. As nobles, they really had a voracious attitude over wealth as well as power. Yes, it also included Ferel's father, Count Guldebell.

In the letter Savian sent to him, it was written that Ferel was really having trouble dealing with his stubborn father.

Arriving in front of the inn building, Ciel saw a familiar-looking figure. Yes, they are Savian and Ferel.

After ‘parking’ the horse carriage, Ciel who was followed by Shana approached the two. Seeing Savian's figure, Ciel nodded.

“How are you, Savian?”

“Although not too comfortable, I am used to conditions like this, Prince Ciel.”

“Ferel, it looks like you are becoming more ... prosperous?”

Confused how to describe Ferel's situation, Ciel could only use the word ‘mur’. The reason is, Ferel actually went back to being a round ball. Added a lot of weight. In fact, compared to the first time they met, Ferel was rounder.

“Although that's a good sentence, why do I feel that your gaze is a little insulting, Prince Ciel.” Ferel felt helpless as Ciel looked at him with a complicated expression.

“Mari in. We can discuss it in.” Savian suggested.

“Good.” Ciel nodded lightly in response.

Afterwards, Ciel follows Savian to go to the receptionist to book a room in advance before heading to the bar to enjoy wine and food.

They booked a special room so that the conversation would not be heard from outside. Looking at the many dishes, Ciel nodded in satisfaction. However, other than the people he knew, the young man stared at Ferel. Behind Ferel, there was a female knight with a healthy dark brown skin. The woman was obviously of the Barbarian Abyssal race, the same as Shana and Arla who were following Ciel or Savian.

“Ferel ... dia?” Ciel asked with a curious expression.

“Oh! How disrespectful I am.” Noticing Ciel's gaze, Ferel looked quite proud. “This is Mara. Besides looking beautiful and strong enough, she is very good in bed. He can do various movements .... absolutely amazing!”

Hearing Ferel's introduction, Ciel and Savian looked at each other and shook their heads lightly. Meanwhile, Shana and Arla looked towards the girl with inexplicable gazes. As for the girl, Mara, she was completely lowered with a red face. Completely embarrassed by Ferel's ridiculous but arrogant introduction.

“Why are you two quiet? Savian, you and Prince Luciel must be astonished. Huh! Don't think only you can get a beautiful Abyssal Barbarian slave.” Ferel raised his head with a proud expression, leaving Savian and Ciel confused as to how to comment.

Although Arla and Shana are indeed exotic beauties, that is not the reason why Savian or Ciel chose them.

Savian, as the Duke's son with weak strength, he needed good protection. With full effort, the man finally finds Arla, a female knight figure who is not only beautiful, but can also protect her.

As for Ciel himself, he had many criteria for choosing subordinates. Finding Shana by accident and having a talent that is ‘quite’, Ciel unhesitatingly takes the girl with him. After all, that young man needed a lot of talent to make his territory become stronger quickly.

While sexual reasons ... neither Savian nor Ciel even thought about it.

Ciel then looked towards Ferel. As their business went smoothly, the three youths arguably had a lot of money from their trading group. Not to mention Ciel, aside from their small group, he also got a lot of money from his estate tax.

After being cut here and there for development, agriculture, recruiting warriors, raising warriors, and so on. Ciel actually had quite a lot of leftovers. Of course, he planned to collect those ‘ Remnants’ to recruit another soldier next year.

As for the wealth he made from the Golden Dusk Group, gifts from his teachers, parents, or grandfather. Sometimes, he would also have to take it out at a crucial moment, in order to accelerate the growth of the pre-war soldiers for example.

Seeing that Ferel was so prosperous, overindulging and wasting his money after getting a share of the group shares, Ciel could not say a word. Food and women .. The young man was completely immersed in it.

Ciel could only say with a bitter smile.

“Ya .. suitable for young entrepreneurs like you.”
