The Useless 8th Prince
Not Wanting to Stay Missed
The rain is pouring down on a city filled with skyscrapers. The sparkling lights of the city eliminate the darkness of the night. Thunder danced over the clouds that covered thousands of stars.
On a bridge in the north of the city, there are many black cars that are not in the right position. There's a car that's upside down. There was a car that hit a roadblock. There was also a car that almost fell into the deep wide river below.
With the sound of heavy rain and thunder, the figure of a 24-year-old man in a black suit wet from the rain walked past the scattered corpses.
The ground below was wet with blood mixed with rainwater, forming a river of blood. Passing through many corpses in the same uniform, that is, wearing a suit, the man looked indifferent.
If noticed, men have pale white skin, black hair like ink, and a handsome face. But the most striking thing about the man was his eyes. The young man's black eyes looked dull without any light, as if the gaze of a dead person. Really not bringing the slightest feeling.
The man stopped in front of the figure of a middle-aged man with a bald head and a burly body. Lots of jewelry on her fingers, wrists, and neck. The middle-aged man was holding onto his stomach, where a lot of blood was spilled there. Looking up, the two looked at each other.
One man had a blank look, while one middle-aged man had a frightened look.
“Midnight Raven, why did you come to us? Who told you to? I don't know who's behind you, but I'll pay you more if I let go. Nah! I'll even give you half my company shares, so-”
Bang out!
Loud sounds are heard. The middle-aged man screamed in pain. On his shoulder, a small hole was seen, blood started to flow profusely from there. Once again he looked up, looking at the muzzle of the gun pointed right at his head.
The figure of the man in front of him is a figure who is often called with Midnight Raven (The Crow in the Middle of the Night). The reason the person got the nickname was its appearance. It came out of nowhere in the middle of the night. As if the messenger of the Death God in human form, the man took the lives of many people and left just like that. No one ever got away from him.
Even the first time he saw it (because it came and disappeared just like that), the middle-aged man was shocked. It turns out that the legendary Midnight Raven figure is a figure who is fairly young. But being able to finish off dozens of his men, the middle-aged man was completely frightened by it.
“I will give you all my wealth, so please let me go! I will live honestly and get back on the right track. So-”
Bang out!
The middle-aged man's skull broke. Blood mixed with brain fluid splashed. As if not doing something wrong, Midnight Raven walked in the rain and disappeared in the dark of the night.
Police sirens were heard from a distance not long after. When the police arrived, all that was left at the scene were broken cars and piles of dead bodies. Seeing the incident, they could only breathe in a cold breath because they knew who did it.
...***...
Standing in front of the mirror, the figure of a 16-year-old teenager stared at his own figure. There was no smile on his face. The young man closed his eyes and then sighed.
This kind of life .. Do I deserve this kind of life?
“Breakfast is ready, Milord.”
A gentle female voice woke the teenager from her daydream. Tidying the collar around her neck, she then turned around while staring at the figure of the beautiful maid waiting at the door. The corner of his lips slightly lifted, but his gaze still looked calm.
“I'm coming, Isabella.”
Downstairs and into the dining room, Ciel sees that Ariana and Elena are waiting for him. Realizing that Camellia had not woken up, the young man could only shake lightly.
“Did you miss Camellia, Honey?”
As he sat down, Ciel was surprised by Ariana's question. Normally, women would definitely be jealous if their lover thought of another woman. However Ciel did not intend to lie to the two of them, so he answered honestly.
“I miss him. After all, ever since I was a child, Camellia has followed me everywhere. Even though he was busy with work now, during his time in the castle, I must have met him. Yes, although now I also meet him every day.”
After eating breakfast together, Ciel took care of his work as usual. At lunchtime, he was surprised to see two figures coming into the study.
“What's up until you come here, Flora? Fiona?”
The two figures who came to her were the twin sisters. They usually just do their job as usual. But today they came, there was clearly something wrong with them.
“We want to ask for directions, Mr.”
Flora replied firmly as usual. While the sister, Fiona just nodded behind her brother. However, his gaze was also filled with determination.
“What's the clue? Just say.” Ciel said with a relaxed expression.
“We want you to train both of us to become stronger, sir. Seeing the soldiers in the shadow division progressing so quickly made us feel uneasy. Not to mention a monstrous figure like Theodore who was really fast developing.
Moreover, compared to your direct subordinates, we are too weak. Even we are weaker than new people like Shana or Clark. In our opinion personally, you definitely have a way to make us stronger. So we came to ask for advice.”
“Oh?”
Ciel raised his eyebrows with a astonished expression. Indeed, he had given both of them a good supply like the soldiers in the shadow division. But because the intensity of their training is different, their speed is also different.
Actually it is understandable. In addition to the intensity factor of the exercise, it is also affected by both. The people within the shadow division were the talented youths that Ciel was sifting through. Not to mention the subordinates directly under him. They could all be considered to have an innate talent like monsters.
The twin sisters themselves had slightly better talent than the youths in the shadow division. So it was only wishful thinking to catch up with the speed of Ciel's other direct subordinates. But when there is a will, there is a way. Words like that are not lies.
“Honest of all. If you pay attention, your talents are both inferior compared to other direct subordinate talents.”
Hearing Ciel's words, disappointed expressions flashed on Flora and Fiona's faces. Ciel shook his head lightly before he could explain.
“You both also have what they don't have. That is the amount. Yeah, if you two try to step out on your own, try to catch up with them? Sorry .. it was just wishful thinking. Conversely, if you two are together, it is not impossible to do that.”
“You mean?”
“From training alone. As a twin, you guys must be closer and get to know each other, right?”
“...”
Flora and Fiona quietly nodded. They both remember how they were together since childhood. Lost their mother, raised only to be sold by their stepfather. Until now, they had gone through a lot of hardships together.
“Fight together. That's the right path for both of you. One knight and one witch. You can complement each other. Isn't that simple?”
Flora and Fiona's eyes became brighter. Both of them understood what Ciel meant.
From the beginning, they went the wrong way. Indeed, they could pursue individual paths. It's just that, if you want to get stronger quickly, utilizing their advantage is not at all wrong. In war, it is not required to fight enemies 1 vs 1. Win! That's his main purpose. No matter what way to use.
Looking at the two who were becoming brighter and excited, Ciel nodded lightly.
Not wanting to be left behind with another partner. Really not bad.
