The Useless 8th Prince

Not Going to Die That Easy

About an hour later.

Sitting on a chair while looking at the clear pond filled with fish, Ciel let out a long sigh. He then patted the head of the little girl sitting beside him.

“Definitely heavy, right?”

“En.” Rey who sat beside Ciel nodded.

An hour earlier, Ciel, Rey, Zack, and Vexia were sitting together. Hearing how Zack told him about loving his sister, the corner of the Young Prince's lips twitched. She feels that it's only natural that Rey hates her brother.

From the beginning, Zack was very clingy with his sister. The young man was even arguably too sticky until the two-year-old was uncomfortable with it. After two years of being constantly bullied by her brother, Rey begins to have high resistance to him.

It may feel like people are forced to eat instant noodles every day without stopping for two years. At first the person must have felt the instant noodles were delicious, but due to overdoing it, he felt his stomach was uncomfortable when he saw the instant noodles in front of him.

Yes ... maybe it is like that.

Ciel nodded with a meaningful expression while continuing to stroke little Rey's head. Staring at the little girl, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

You've been fighting, little Rey. I know that feeling. Maybe I know best because I've been bullied for years.

“Hey! Isn't this wrong, Rivalku? Rey is my sister, right? He should have sat next to me like an obedient little follower, right?”

“Grrr ...” Rey holding Ciel's shirt. Snarling towards Zack while glaring at his older brother.

“See? Isn't that rude? He really is like a wild cat,” Zack said with a bitter expression on his face.

“Finally I found you, Miss Rey.”

The voice of the woman is heard. Looking at the source of the voice, there was a servant who was sweating profusely while panting.

“It's time to take an afternoon shower, Miss Rey. After that, there is a schedule to learn to write and read.”

Little Rey looked towards the waiter then towards Ciel with round eyes. It made Ciel chuckle.

“Rey little is obedient girl. Follow my sister for a shower and learn. I'll stay here a few days. We can play tomorrow.”

“En.”

Little Rey nodded with an obedient and somewhat excited expression. He then got off the chair and followed the maid away. Before leaving the little girl waved at Ciel with a warm smile. Of course, the young Prince retorted with a calm and relaxed expression.

Looking at Rey who left with the waiter, the relaxed expression on Ciel's face turned serious. He stared at Zack with a suspicious expression.

“Why don't you rest? Don't run around too much and hurt yourself.”

“Daily? Am I a child?” Zack complained. He looked at Ciel and asked, “You didn't invite Ariana to come, Rivalku?”

“Ariana? Of course not. I came to the Royal Capital alone for the Meeting of the Princes. I just happened to get word that you were hurt and came to this place.

By the way ... Why don't you tell me if you're hurt? Although South Duchy and North Duchy are quite far away, I will still come despite a slight delay.”

“Because information must be blocked. You know, Rivalku. Many people were staring at the Flamehart Family. What would happen if they knew that the only son in the family had not healed and was dying?

You know the answer, Rivalku.”

Looking at the situation of Flamehart Castle which was more desolate than he had heard, Ciel nodded. According to the information he got, normally the castle was crowded and quite dense. Many guests and many servants.

Clearly, now Flamehart Castle did not receive any guests. As for the maids, most of them must have been dismissed. While others ... might be cleaned so that the news does not leak out.

“I know about it. It's just that, your vitality is decreasing so quickly. How did that happen?” Ciel asked suspiciously.

“You should know that I'm dying.” Zack scratched the back of his head.

“...”

“I can't believe Emperor Julius' confidant is a criminal.”

“...”

Looking at the silent Ciel, Zack said in a serious tone.

“Ciel, actually I have a request.”

“Request?” Ciel tilted his head.

“Yes! If I die, please help me protect the Flamehart Family. Also ... please be my son's godfather!”

“...”

Godfather?

Ciel's indifferent expression suddenly stagnated, he immediately turned his head towards Vexia. The woman looked down with a timid expression.

“Vexia ... pregnant?” Ciel said in a strange tone.

“But.” Zack shook his head lightly. “You must know, the descendants of high-level demons like us are difficult to have offspring. Not to mention, the Flamehart Family is worse at this.”

Ciel nodded lightly. Indeed, the Flamehart Family was quite a difficulty in matters of descent. Therefore Duke Flamehart was furious when the life of his only son was in crisis.

While the Dawnbringer Family has its own advantages. Although it was also a top-tier demon, the Abyssal Angel could make offspring with other races. In fact, they can make superior seeds. In other words, it strengthened the lineage of races that paired with it.

Although the birth of the Abyssal Angel is arguably very rare even rarer than the Flamehart Family, the Dawnbringer Family is arguably large even though it does not contain many races of Abyssal Angel.

There are losses and losses on both sides. Abyssal Angel is difficult to have descendants of other Abyssal Angel, but can have many offspring with different races. The Flamehart Family is the opposite. Although it is very difficult to have offspring, 95% of the offspring born inherit the powerful and domineering Flamehart Family gene.

Cases like little Rey are extremely rare and rare in the Flamehart Family. However, such a thing could also be considered natural. As a difficult family to have offspring, they did not distinguish or even excommunicate Rey who could be considered different. This family is fairly harmonious when compared to other families who like to fight for power or the seat of the next head of the family.

As if realizing something, Ciel looked at Zack with a strange expression.

“So the reason you lost a lot of vitality ..”

“Yes! I do it every night, try and fight hard! Before leaving, I will make sure father and mother have grandchildren.”

Looking at Zack who spoke shamelessly and even proudly, Ciel fell silent. Roy who was standing behind him was dumbfounded. While Vexia who was sitting beside Zack looked down deeper. Obviously, that woman was very embarrassed!

“So how, Rivalku? You want to accept my son as a godson, right? You'll want to, won't you, Rivalku?”

Hearing how Zack said about this child and that child, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. Although Zack had no intention of mocking him, the young man felt that his best friend was a bit too arrogant. He even cursed in his heart.

Just keep paddling until you break your waist, you idiot!

“How, Rivalku??” Zack tilted his head with a silly expression. Makes Ciel want to beat her face.

“Godfather, I agree. As for being a teacher or something. Also, do not be too desperate like that.”

Looking at the bewildered Zack, Ciel turned his face away with a flat expression. Looking at the fish pond with cold eyes, he said in an indifferent tone.

“I'm sure, you won't die that easily.”
