The Useless 8th Prince
Maybe It's Destiny
Huddled on the ground, little Vahn grabbed the foot of one of the robbers desperately. What awaited him then was a kick right in his stomach. He was eggplant holding the person's leg despite being kicked so many times.
“Restore. Without it, Aiz would ..”
Once again, a hard kick landed on Vahn's stomach. Unable to endure the pain, he finally let go of his grip. Seeing the few people laughing at him, he could not reply to anything.
“Feel lucky that I didn't kill you, son.”
Along with that voice, Vahn saw some of those people go away. Making Vahn who was curled up on the dirty ground grit his teeth while clenching his hands with an angry expression.
Why is the world like this? Why do we have to feel all this? What's our fault?
While unable to move, the boy could only curse inwardly because of what he had gone through.
Meanwhile, the small robbers of four laughed together.
“This time how many, Boss?”
After counting for a while, the person called the boss by his friend gave a cold snort.
“Only 11 bronze. Really poor.”
“Because it is poor, why should you take it?”
Hearing the lazy and indifferent voice, the four people were stunned. They then looked up. On the roof of one of the buildings, was a silver-haired handsome young man with a black robe covering his body.
Yes, he is Ciel. The young man had just arrived. Previously, he had marked one of the bronze coins so that he could track down Vahn. Before going to bed, the young man realized that Vahn might have spent bronze coins, so he decided to sneak out of the inn to search.
Instead of seeing Vahn on set, Ciel instead saw some insignificant people there. That made him a little irritated.
“Ya ... only need one mouth to talk.”
After saying that, Ciel disappeared from his place. Before the four robbers responded, none of them suddenly became ice sculptures. Leave their bosses surprised.
Surprised and frightened, the man's legs went limp and he fell to the ground. Staring at Ciel as if he was looking at a monster.
“A-What do you want from us?”
Not directly answering, Ciel walked towards the person slowly then took out one of the bronze coins. Yes, the coin he had marked.
“The child you robbed ... where is he now?”
“J-If I answer, you should release-”
Cracks!
Before finishing his speech, the robber saw Ciel casually stepping on one of his legs. It looked relaxed, but it instantly smashed one of the legs to pieces.
“Arghh!!”
“No need to talk much. Just answer my question. Don't waste time.”
“...”
Cracks! Cracks! Cracks!
Not hearing the answer he wanted, Ciel instantly broke the other three limbs of that person. Despite having good talent, the child who met him was still very weak. If until these useless people kill him …
Ciel stared at the figure lying on the ground in fear. Two hands and two legs had him broken, making the person continue to cry in pain.
“The boy is in our two back alleys. Keep straight and turn left.”
The robber said while holding back a cry.
Ciel directly stepped on the body of that person. A moment later, the person's entire body became ice. Staring indifferently, the young man said coldly.
“Junk.”
Looking at the little boy lying in the dirty alley while crying, Ciel heaved a sigh of relief.
“Why are you lying down crying in a place like this, little sister?”
Hearing that cold but gentle voice made Vahn take his eyes off. His eyes blinked, as if he was looking at an illusion before death. However after wiping his eyes and still seeing the figure, he was shocked.
“A-What do you do in a place like this, Mister?”
“Street-path.”
Hearing Ciel who was lying with a straight expression, Vahn was stunned. If this was an alley in the trading district, perhaps he would immediately believe the person's answer and expression. But this is a slum! No one walks in such a dirty and dangerous place!
Looking at the little boy who did not believe it, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. He did not expect that the child was intelligent enough to understand the situation and conditions. That made him quite satisfied.
Pretending to cough, Ciel approached the boy.
“Forget. Why are you crying here? Is there a problem?”
Upon hearing Ciel's question, Vahn was immediately stunned. He remembered his sister's condition. Looking at the figure in front of him, the boy tried to sit down then kowtowed in front of Ciel.
“Master, help my sister! Let me owe you ten bronze coins to buy herbs! I promise ... I promise I will return it soon.”
“Cannot.”
Hearing Ciel's indifferent reply, Vahn's heart immediately felt cold.
“What am I lending you a bronze coin while I can treat your sister?”
“...”
Vahn. Looking at Ciel who was smiling towards him, the boy blinked. She felt her eyes start to fog and could no longer hold back her cries.
“Bring me to your house. Let me see your sister's condition.”
“Good.”
Until the location Vahn calls home, Ciel was stunned on the spot. Looking at the many trash cans, dirty places, and pungent smells made him frown. The tattered tent in front of him made the young man feel somewhat astonished and a little depressed.
This place is even worse than a cage …
Looking at the embarrassed Vahn, Ciel only let out a long sigh. He then followed the boy to enter the tent. Inside the tent, Ciel directly observed the surroundings. This place is not worth calling home. That was the conclusion Ciel came to later.
Ciel then looked at Aiz. Without hesitation, he directly examined the little girl. Aware that the girl was exposed to fever, malnutrition, and some internal organs were slightly injured for having been beaten.
Life ... is really fragile.
Such trivial matters, which could be instantly cured with low-level healing potions were truly life-threatening for the little girl.
Ciel then took out an intermediate level healing potion. Yes ... because he did not keep such low-level potions. At most, such a thing was distributed to the members of the knight line every once in a while. He does not keep that kind of thing.
Vahn who saw Ciel take out an intermediate level potion was instantly frightened. Living in such a place, Vahn had seen low-level potions several times and had seen intermediate-level potions once. As for the high-tier potion and above, he had never seen it.
Staring at the brother who closed his eyes while trembling, Vahn made up his mind. Despite not knowing how long he had to save to pay the debt, the boy wanted his sister saved.
A small bottle of potion entered Aiz's small mouth. Some time later, the little girl's body trembled. After coughing for a while, a comfortable expression was seen on Aiz's face. His body also improved.
“Thank you very much, Sir! Although it takes a long time, I will definitely pay this debt.”
Looking towards Vahn, Ciel raised the corner of his lips.
“Not a problem. This meeting of ours .. may already be doomed.”
