The Useless 8th Prince

So ... how many?

“Oh. It turned out that Prince-” Ciel pondered for a moment. “Who was his name?”

“Adler.”

Looking at the prince who said with the corner of his lips twitching, Ciel felt somewhat satisfied. He became more friendly.

“True. What's up to looking for an insignificant person like us, Prince Adler?”

“...”

Seeing how Ciel said ‘not important’ so casually, Adler fell silent. If he believed that a level 5 demon was not considered important, he would have been a fool. Realizing that Ciel did not want to discuss it in public, Adler pensively pensively.

“How about we talk about this in private, Mr. Gin.”

Ciel looked at Adler who looked solemn as well as sincere. The young man raised the corner of his lips before nodding lightly.

“Okay. Then let's discuss tomorrow at the warm and comfortable Pink Rabbit.”

“...”

Adler and everyone there were silent. What Prince Adler said was clear, wanting to discuss matters immediately. But Ciel clearly immediately refused, not even giving face to a Prince at all.

Ciel did not care at all about the opinions of others. What he had in mind now was a room with a soft bed to rest in. After some time of exercising and taking gifts from his enemies, the young man was already lazy to discuss complicated or heavy matters.

In front of the shocked expressions of the people, Ciel dragged the stunned Ryo to leave the place.

Coming out of the cave, Ciel's expression instantly stagnated. He saw a dark sky, a sign that it was night. It doesn't matter if it's only night, but .. snow really starts to fall.

The corner of Ciel's lips twitched, the knowledge from his previous life seemed to be useless. In an arid, barren, dusty place like Redstone City was completely snowing. The world is full of strange phenomena that cannot be explained scientifically, so.

What if the world is strange? It has absolutely nothing to do with me.

Realizing that he did not take Deschia and did not bring another mount, Ciel fell silent on the spot. He then turned to look at Ryo.

“Lima .. no! Three golds, carry me to Redstone City, Xan.”

Hearing Ciel's words, the corner of Ryo's lips twitched. Looking towards the silver-haired youth who was fitter than himself but so lazy to walk, he felt angry and unbearable.

“Have feet, walk alone!”

Ciel looked at Ryo who walked first with an annoyed expression. The young man could not help but complain inwardly.

You don't have to be angry, okay? I just want to give you a side job.

...***...

The following afternoon, a private room in the Pink Rabbit.

“Are we late?”

Entering the room, Ciel and Ryo saw the four people who had been waiting there. They are Prince Adler, Noct, Jeva, and Cherry.

Seeing Ciel's arrival, Cherry glared at the young man with a ferocious expression. Clearly, he still remembered the events of yesterday.

Instead of helping, for Cherry, Ciel had only come to rob Crimson Night headquarters. Even one gold coin and medicinal ingredients were not left behind. Cherry suspected that, if the dimensional pouch were to fit, perhaps the young man would pack up everything within the Crimson Night headquarters.

As for Noct and Jeva, their expressions looked complicated. They felt grateful that Ciel saved and turned away enemies and traitors in the organization. Yet they were also somewhat regretful that Ciel had completely vacated their most precious piece.

Given how Cherry told me about her encounter with Ciel, Noct and Jeva were a little grateful. Despite paying a lot, they are grateful that Cherry's curse has been healed. So ... their feelings are mixed and complicated.

Especially Jeva, she already considered Ciel as her own sister-in-law. But who would have thought, it turned out that his sister's relationship with the handsome young man was different from what he thought. The woman was previously happy to have a reliable sister-in-law. It turns out it was just a one-sided thought.

“Please sit down, Mr. Gin .. Mr. Xan.”

Unhesitatingly. Ciel and Ryo sat down at the place that had been provided. Seeing the many prepared food and wine, Ciel nodded in satisfaction.

“By the way .. why don't I see the old man. What's his name again?”

“Oh. Wilton.” Adler who said took a deep breath.

After listening to Adler's story, Ciel blinked. Wilton died after he was released from prison. The old man intends to attack Cherry and take her hostage. Perhaps intending to use Cherry to deal with the young man. However, old man Wilton is stopped by Noct and Jeva.

After a long battle, Wilton was defeated. The old man asked Prince Adler for forgiveness. But Adler is not stupid. Rather than keeping a dangerous figure by his side, he decided to remove Wilton from this world.

Hearing all that, Ciel looked at Adler with a satisfied expression. Although it was a bit stupid at first, the prince who was a little older than himself was indeed learning from the mistakes. Not keeping dangerous things that threaten safety by his side, that's fine!

“I will go straight to the subject, Mr. Gin. I'd like to hire you and your partner to help us stop my brother, Prince Fenton.”

“Isn't that ridiculous? Stopping a future King? If it gets caught, it will definitely make things more complicated.”

Although Ciel himself already had the intention to stop Fenton, he,. But if there is a job that adds money, why should he refuse? No one has a limit to save money.

“No. He's not the King's candidate. In fact, I don't even have a sister like her. Behavior that endangers the Kingdom of Blood Diamond .. must be removed.”

Seeing the cold and cruel expression on Adler's face, Ciel blinked. He liked the prince in front of him. But the young man was also a bit anxious.

I always bother and do silly things .. Could it be that Lilia, Sister Julia, and Kal Alexander also want to stab me for making a bad mother face?

Looks like .. I'll have to be a little polite next time. It is not permissible to make the mother or the brothers and sisters angry or poison may be put in my wine and drink.

Ciel looked towards Adler.

“Isn't .. Prince Fenton your older brother?”

“His actions endanger the Blood Diamond Kingdom. Sacrificing one person for the entire kingdom .. it's natural.” Although Adler's face was somewhat reluctant, he was still firm.

“Although he's your big brother?”

“It ... must be done.”

Past the inner conflict, Adler still replied firmly. It made Ciel creep.

Could it be that everyone would become so crazy because of the Nationalists? Could it be that my brothers and sisters are like that too? Definitely not, right? I am in no way endangering the Black Sun Empire, am I?

After trying to convince himself, Ciel took a deep breath. He then asked word for word.

“Jadi ... how much will you pay?”
