The Useless 8th Prince

Like Dreams

“Aiz ... are you okay, Aiz?”

Hearing her brother's voice, Aiz felt that her whole body was comfortable opening her eyes slowly. When he opened his eyes, he saw the figure of Vahn who was crying while holding his hand. Besides, he also saw an unfamiliar figure.

Who is this brother???

Looking at the handsome blond man with different irises of a strange and dazzling color, Aiz felt confused. After trying to process all the memory pieces she remembered, the girl realized that the young man was clearly her savior. More precisely, the person Vahn asked to help save him.

“Aiz ... you finally came to your senses too, Aiz.”

Looking at the older sister who was holding her while crying, Aiz felt that her heart was getting warmer.

“I'm sorry for worrying you, Brother Vahn.”

“No. Absolutely not.” Vahn had a bad expression on his face, a mixture of sad and happy cries. It really made his face a bit strange. “I'm glad you're okay. I'm very happy.”

Kruuu …

The sound of starving stomach was heard inside the tent, making the atmosphere instantly quiet. Vahn looks a bit awkward while Aiz turns his face away in embarrassment.

Looking at the scene before him, Ciel let out a short sigh. He said with a relaxed expression.

“Not too late. Let's go to buy food.”

“...”

Aiz and Vahn are silent. The older brother with a somewhat doubtful and embarrassed expression looked towards Ciel.

“T-No need, Mr. Gin. We're frugality.”

Ciel who saw the two once again shook his head lightly. Knowing that they were ashamed of not being able to buy food, he felt quite pity. Realizing something, the young man waved his hand in front of Vahn and Aiz.

A large box of bacon, some fruit, and water appeared in front of the two children.

“Eat.”

“...”

Not eating right away, Aiz and Vahn looked at each other with doubtful expressions. Ciel's voice once again sounded in their ears.

“No need to hesitate or worry. It's all free. I won't tell you to pay.”

“...”

Seeing the two still silent, Ciel's voice gradually grew cold.

“If you are too careful, your sister will once again be dying, little sister.”

Despite not wanting to have more debt and bear much of the burden, Vahn gritted his teeth before picking up the bacon and eating it. He knew what Ciel said was true. Although he wanted to uphold the principles of good life taught, the child knew that his behavior made his sister almost die.

As long as I repay Mr. Gin's kindness.

In a state of emotional distress and hunger, Vahn reassured himself. She unhesitatingly ate the bacon, then ate the fruit, before drinking a lot of water. Ignoring his sister who was staring with a surprised expression, Van looked at Ciel with a stern look.

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gin. I will definitely repay this debt! However ..”

“However?” Looking at the doubtful Vahn, Ciel tilted his head while asking.

“I am too weak and do not have good knowledge. If it is like this, it is almost impossible to get a lot of money to replace your potion.

So ... Can I be your follower? Being a hauler or something is okay? I believe with that I will add experience and knowledge.

After that, I will become a mercenary then collect money to pay this debt.”

Seeing Vahn's sincere expression, the corner of Ciel's lips lifted.

“It ..”

Hearing Ciel's question, Vahn's voice choked. The boy knew it would take years to do so. And such a thing could be considered a waste of the precious time of a strong person like Ciel. However, he also did not know of any other way to pay for his benefactor.

“How about we change the terms.” Ciel said relax.

“Replace requirements???”

“Yes. Rather than be confused, how about you guys work for me? I can guarantee it's not dirty work. Also, I can make sure you guys can wear decent clothes and eat full.”

“That's true, Mr Gin?”

Seeing the shocked expressions on the faces of the two children, Ciel realized that his plan had worked. One more attraction, the fish will be caught.

“Of course. In fact, you do not need to replace those potions and food. After all, it is the responsibility of the master to take care of their subordinates.”

“K-Then ... Then please allow me to work for you, Mr Gin!”

“S-I also, Mr.” Aiz also said softly.

I don't know why destiny makes precious pearls in sewers like this. But ... This is a jackpot for me!

Ciel complained in his heart. He often looks for talent when out for a walk or a visit to some big city. However, in a stuffy room of a bondage house or a rundown alley with an irresistible smell, he somehow found a good seedling in such a place.

Staring at Vahn's sister, Ciel's expression was satisfied. He didn't care about looks or anything like that because he wasn't interested in a child. What he saw was a skill that could be considered an equal to Vahn's.

Black Stone .. simple name but has strong properties.

Using dark energy in the shadows to control the stone element. If mastered, it might be able to create a strong defensive wall with stones or even giant puppets to control.

I suspect the reason the nobles have stronger levels is because the geniuses among ordinary people do not manage to grow! Die when young!

Then ... Let me accept all! Create an army of geniuses and then create a strong and safe region. Then …

I'll lay back in the castle while telling them to do this and that!

Really, must be amazing!

Imagining such a future, Ciel subconsciously raised the corner of his lips. Aware of his daydream a few seconds later, the young man pretended to cough as he was being seen by two children with innocent expressions. She's feeling a little embarrassed.

“Then you guys wait for what? Eat until full to fill your stomach. I don't want to have skinny and weak subordinates.”

“B-Good Mr.” The two boys answered simultaneously.

Seeing the two eating voraciously, Ciel nodded in satisfaction.

Good ... eat voraciously and quickly grow. My quiet future depends on you!

If people knew what Ciel was thinking, they would have already cursed him. Having the skill to see people's abilities, the young man was trying to gather a lot of talent. This was normal for the owner of such a skill.

But his intentions are too different. Normally, one would gather a lot of talent to create an extremely powerful army then try to conquer an empire or even the world. As for Ciel, he wanted to create an unsolvable wall and confine himself in a remote corner of the south of the two.

Let me borrow your eyes! Your usage is too futile!

Maybe that word will be shouted by people to Ciel if he realizes that the young man has the Eye of The Lord skill.

Aiz and Vahn eat happily. Both of them had absolutely no idea that it turned out that they had to serve a Prince from the Black Sun Empire who had made both parents dizzy due to his attitude.

In the eyes of the two children, Ciel was like a hero in a fairy tale. Handsome, strong, kind, and has an adventurous spirit. A person who writes a life story by traveling around the world. Can serve such a hero …

It feels like a dream!
