The Useless 8th Prince

A Choice

“What am I really thinking,” muttered Ciel while shaking his head. “While I want it, the decision is still in Elena's hands.”

Ciel thinks Elena's not a threat. Despite having good talent, it still needed many high-level potions to cultivate. Breaking through the boundary of the middle level to the upper level was not that easy.

If Elena decided not to follow him, Ciel would send the woman away from her territory. Having no relationship, it was useless to keep a figure that attracted enemies to him.

If Elena decided to go with him, Ciel would definitely feel happy. However, he also had to ensure the woman's loyalty by way of making a soul contract. Like Camellia who couldn't possibly betray him.

After pondering many things, Ciel decided to go to sleep. Tomorrow he and the party will return to Black Lily City. It would be nice for him to have enough rest because he had to set up a tent the next night.

The next morning, Ciel looked out the window from his room. The knights were busy transporting luggage into the carriage and packing their equipment. The corner of the young man's lips curved upwards when he saw them.

Ciel recalled the incident the previous day. The ten knights came to the location he was fighting with Elena. When the men arrived, they panicked at not knowing what to do. As a young and talented knight, the ten level 2 demons were aware, there was nothing they could do under absolute strength.

Camellia did not say a word back then, just looking coldly at the knights. It made them feel ashamed and useless. Seeing now that they had the determination to become stronger, Ciel was delighted.

“This trip was not in vain,” muttered Ciel.

After seeing the knights pack up, he headed for Elena's room. After knocking on the door, he immediately entered the room.

“Sleep soundly?” ask Ciel.

“You can see it clearly, Prince Luciel.”

Elena rolled her eyes with a cold expression. His expression said ‘how could I sleep soundly in a handcuffed state like this?’, making Ciel shake lightly.

Ciel reached into his pocket and took out two keys. He approached Elena then opened the two handcuffs on her legs and hands. The woman sat down and rubbed her wrists.

“Is there any reason to release these handcuffs, Prince Luciel?”

“Ya.” Ciel nodded. “I've made sure that you don't have hatred for me. So I gave you two options.”

“Optional?” elena asked as she stared right in Ciel's eyes.

“True. First, you can follow me on a note .. I need your loyalty. Second, you may go, but you must leave my territory. Let's just say we never met.”

“And if I am still in your region?”

Ciel stared with an indifferent expression before replying, “That will bring trouble. Forced, I must kill you.”

“So cruel?” muttered Elena.

“You are in my territory. If Count Blackscar finds out, he'll bring trouble. I don't care about trivial nobles, but if Marquis Fergus intervenes .. there will be war and carnage.”

“…”

Seeing Elena silent, Ciel continued, “Do you think I should sacrifice my territory and people ... for people I don't know?”

Hearing Ciel's question, a lost expression appeared on Elena's face. He remembered what the young man had said before. As long as the woman chose to leave, they were strangers. Feeling the uncertainty, Elena bit her lower lip with a doubtful expression.

Elena dared to look back at Ciel. The woman then asked, “If I were yours, would you avenge my mother and sister?”

“Count Blackscar .. or Marquis Fergus?”

“Count Blackscar,” says Elena firmly. “All families Blackscar.”

Seeing the beautiful woman who ventured to get into her trap hole, Ciel heaved a sigh of relief from within. The young man had actually also started to prepare a plan to deal with Marquis Fergus. It's just that, as a trader, making a bigger profit is certainly better.

Count Blackscar was no big deal to him!

Ciel smiled gently before saying, “I agree.”

“Elena submit to the Master. This servant promises to obey the master's orders with all his body.”

“Only with raga?” ciel asked with a smile on his face.

Elena who was kneeling in front of Ciel looked up and looked into his eyes.

“Maybe after this servant binds the soul contract, you can do anything to me, Sir. However ... this soul still belongs to me.”

“You heard about soul contract?” Ciel tilted his head.

“I heard it from Camellia last night, Mr.”

“Are you not afraid I reneged on a promise after you became ‘miku’ completely?”

“I dare to gamble, meaning I dare to take risks. I also believe ... You will not renege on a promise, Sir!”

Ciel looked at the beautiful Dark Elf in front of him with an attractive expression. With a playful smile, she asked, “Then, how do I get everything .. be it your body or soul, Elena?”

“After you delete the Blackscar Family ..” Elena said in a trembling voice. It seemed that the woman remembered the bad events she had experienced. “After you remove the Blackscar Family, my whole soul and body is yours, Sir. Even if there is a next life, I still belong to you.”

Why is it that when I see this cold woman become obedient, I become happy? Is there something wrong with my mental state?

Ciel shook his head lightly. The young man stretched out his right hand and stroked Elena's cheek gently. He then said, “Then I have to fulfill my promise.”

Sensing the touch on her cheek, Elena's heart beat a little faster. He looked at the handsome young man in front of him as he muttered, “Tuan ..”

Uhuk! Uhuk!

Hearing the contrived coughing sound, Ciel immediately pulled back his hand. Meanwhile, Elena instantly got up and stood up quietly as if nothing had happened. The door of the room immediately opened, the figure of Camellia entering the room.

“It looks like you are having fun ... Sir?”

Seeing Camellia's cold gaze, Ciel smiled awkwardly. As if remembering something, he asked back, “Is everything ready, Camellia?”

“Already, Sir!” camellia replied, but clearly a pouting expression was still on her face.

“Good! Elena, you shower and change your clothes. We'll have breakfast together before we leave.”

“Good, Master!” Elena bowed politely before taking her clothes and left the room.

Ciel then looked at Camellia who was still looking at him with a cold expression.

“What's up, Camellia?”

“It's okay, Mr.” Camellia replied politely.

A lie! That's lies! Before you lie, you must see your own expression!

Ciel exclaimed inwardly. The young man felt that Camellia's emotions had become unstable ever since they moved into his new territory. Ever since meeting Isabella or Elena, the girl had become even more grumpy.

Ciel even felt that Camellia saw him as if she was looking at a bad boy. More precisely, a brat who forgets an old toy after getting a new one. The corner of his lips twitched but was confused as to what to say. He could only complain in his heart.

Damnit damnit! It's slander! I don't treat you like toys! I'm just happy to get new loyal followers, nothing more!

It's not that I pick a follower should be a woman, I just love talent! If there is a problem due to a meeting, blame it on fate!
