The Useless 8th Prince

Like a Thorny Rose

“Instead of discussing such things, how about I give one or two suggestions?”

Ciel suddenly said in a mysterious tone. Although his face was cold, his eyes clearly exuded a slightly excited gleam.

“What is it, Prince Ciel?” Savian said doubtfully.

“Money. Yes, much money.” Ciel said with certainty.

“You mean ..”

“Isn't a new organization called Southern Star about to be founded?” Ciel raised the corner of his lips. “That means there will be a lot of new recruits, right? If so ... wouldn't the market for potions be wide open? If we manage to use it-”

“Please wait a minute, Prince Ciel.”

“What's up?” ask Ciel.

“Opening that market is impossible.” Savian shook his head lightly. “The new organization plans to create a small elite group in the future. Each region can only send 10 of the best young people. That means ...of the seven territories under the Raevern Family, there will be 70 people. Plus our own territory that sends 20 people, means there will be 90 people. Actually ..”

“Actually you intend to invite me who will bring 10 people. Total members will be fit 100 people, right?”

“True.” Savian nodded lightly. “Each member must be under the age of 25 years, which is still considered the younger generation. While the development of each member such as training, potions, and everything .. it will be borne by the entire South Duchy nobility together.”

“Because I refuse, I'm sure, the territory of two Marquis will add 5 members each. So you don't have to worry.” Ciel said relax.

“Because of that, we do not open the market. I'm sorry, Prince Ciel.”

“Not a problem.” Ciel shook his head lightly. “I just mispredicted.”

“Thank God that you are not angry.” Savian took a long breath.

“Then, let's go back to each other's rooms and meet again later tonight.” Ciel turned his gaze towards Ferel who was sound asleep on the table. “It looks like Ferel drank too much.”

“Good.” Savian nodded as well.

“Then I first.” Ciel got up from his chair. “Come, Shana.”

Back in the room, Ciel's relaxed and gentle expression instantly turned more indifferent and cold.

One hundred of South Duchy's most promising young generation, huh? I want to see what they look like.

Ciel's eyes emitted a mysterious gleam, no one knew what was inside his head.

Actually, the reason why Ciel wanted ‘ to open the’ market was not because he was short on money. However, since he had declined Savian's invitation, it was not very good to find out the new organization's information. Under the pretext of ‘opening pasar’, Ciel more or less knows what the new organization looks like.

Without feeling, time passed and night came.

Out of his room, Ciel wore a typical noble black dress with silver lines and ornaments. There are some accessories of blue sapphire that are not too excessive. As usual, despite having different designs, the young man liked to wear clothes with a black base color.

Down to the first floor, Ciel became the main highlight. Wearing relaxed noble clothes has made it attractive. Not to mention wearing such beautiful clothes, it really made the young man even more admirable. Ignoring the people who were staring at him, he immediately met Savian and Ferel.

Seeing the two, Ciel nodded lightly. Savian wears beautiful dark green clothes with stripes and silver ornaments. Some accessories are encrusted with pale yellow amber stone. Looks refreshing and pleasing to the eye.

While Ferel ... he wears gold colored ‘glamor’ clothes with many lines and silver ornaments. There are several accessories encrusted with large red rubies. Let alone Ciel who hates anything excessive, Savian alone is also speechless to see the appearance of Ferel who is ‘luar’, even special.

“Didn't it look nice and fancy? This was a feast of young nobles throughout South Duchy, unlike the party in Jade Water City. The young nobles who usually do not come will also appear here.”

“Don't say ..” Savian looked at Ferel, speechless.

“As host, should Miss Helena appear. I can't seem mediocre, can I?” Ferel said proudly.

“...”

Ciel and Savian looked at each other then sighed helplessly. Facing a fan boy who lost most of the IQ he had made both of them unable to say much. Even if the two reminded, they were like they were talking to a wall.

“Forget. Let's leave.” Ciel said indifferently.

“Good.”

Ignoring the narcissistic Ferel, Ciel and Savian head to their respective chariots and head to Scarlet Roze Castle.

Alone in his carriage, Ciel suddenly thought of a random thing. Like why the nobles had to use their respective carriages even if it was only one person, why they were showing off to each other, and so on.

Sixteen years of doing this kind of thing .. I'm really not too used to it.

Even though he had not rejected such things, Ciel himself still felt somewhat uneasy. Not to mention the way Ferel dressed. It was really like a peacock showing off its tail, trying to attract the attention of a female. That made Ciel unable to talk much.

Arriving at Scarlet Roze Castle, Ciel is greeted kindly by the servant who receives and shows his table. Some young nobles seemed to want to try to get closer. But seeing Ciel made an invisible barrier in the form of a cold expression, indifferent appearance, and a gaze that implies ‘don't dare to approach’.

Sitting alone at the table specially prepared for him, Ciel looked so indifferent. Seeing the appearance of the young nobles, especially the men, made the young man even more speechless.

Although most were not as bad as Ferel, they still looked glamorous. There were even some people who looked worse than Ferel. That person was wearing a necklace encrusted with purple crystals the size of a baby fist. Instead of looking cool, Ciel found him stupid and silly.

At that moment, everyone turned their eyes in a certain direction. Looking in that direction, Ciel's eyes narrowed.

A beautiful-looking young lady descended from the second floor, stepping slowly down the stairs.

Wavy red hair, emerald-green irises, snow-white skin. Such a charming paras plus a beautiful body wrapped in a rose red dress with some gold accessories that are not too excessive.

Everyone, especially the young man, became even more excited. Ciel himself was a bit surprised. His beauty is not inferior to his wife and prospective concubines. What distinguishes it, may be his more mature body. Makes the woman more attractive. Of course Ciel wasn't stupid and recognized him right away.

Helena Roschild …

Helena greeted the guests with a charming and polite smile. Looking at Ciel's sitting position, the woman calmly walked towards the young man unhurriedly. It made the young nobles look at Ciel with envy.

Arriving in front of Ciel, Helena bowed politely. Wiggling slightly at his mound, made the young man see the deep slope between the two mountains.

“Welcome to our little party, Prince Luciel. It's an honor you can come.”

Along with the scent of roses, Helena's soft and sweet voice entered Ciel's ears.

Instead of feeling tempted because of his figure, Ciel who ‘sit a little paranoid’ instantly increased his alert level by several levels. Remaining calm, he looked at Helena's figure.

To Ciel, Helena was like a beautiful rose. It's just that, in addition to the beautiful flowers .. a lot of sharp and dangerous thorns to watch out for by him.
