The Useless 8th Prince

Don't say ...

“I've decided ..”

Cherry suddenly said then hugged Ciel. Without hesitation, he looked up and then gave a small kiss right on the handsome young man's cheek.

“Because you saved my life, I will follow you, Gin. No matter the end result, I will follow you. Even if I die, I won't be a burden to you.”

“...”

Sensing the soft and slightly wet sensation that imprinted on her cheeks, Ciel was dumbfounded. The youth movement was stagnant. Looking towards the beautiful woman who was embracing him affectionately .. she was speechless.

Shouldn't we take each other off bitterly and feel a love we shouldn't have?

Why did it become like this? This is clearly off the script!

After thinking for quite a while, Ciel finally opened his mouth. Hugging Cherry, he explained slowly.

“There is still time. You can think about it. Anyway ... I don't want you to part with your sister and friends.”

“I don't mind as long as Cherry can be happy.” Jeva said while wiping the corner of her eyes. “I'm serious. It's okay, the most important .. Cherry is happy with you.”

Ms. Anu.. Kak Jeva? Can you shut up for a second? I'm looking for a way out here!

Ciel roared in heart. Really feeling depressed because Jeva interrupted her words. The young man immediately thought hard. Looking towards Ryo, an idea entered his brain.

Ciel kissed Cherry's forehead gently before breaking away from the woman's embrace. He then dragged the stunned Ryo to leave the room while giving an apologetic smile.

“Then we will go to prepare. A big battle ... a lot to prepare.”

Looking towards Ciel who was already standing in front of the door while dragging Ryo, the others nodded responsively. Adler also replied politely.

“Then, please come here tomorrow morning, Mr. Gin. I'll prepare everything.”

“Good.”

After a short reply, Ciel immediately left the room while dragging Ryo.

Looking towards Ciel and Ryo who were leaving, Cherry was somewhat regretful.

“Could Gin not like me?” muttered the woman.

“Mana may. He was just embarrassed to be seen by some strangers.” Jeva said with confidence.

“Really?”

“Of course it's true!”

While a happy atmosphere began to fill the room, different events in the inn room.

Ciel threw Ryo who was staring blankly at the bed. He then sat on the sofa with a depressed face.

Isn't that weird? I only met him one night. There are no special events like getting pregnant out of wedlock or anything like that, but can it still be like this?

Why is she like a starving jaguar chasing an antelope? Absolutely savage!

Returning to his own room, Ciel instantly took out paper, ink, and a quill pen. Rather than making a strategy to fight Prince Fenton and his troops.

Look for a gentle and subtle way of avoiding!

...***...

Two days later, in a rock mountain range that was far to the northwest of Redstone City.

“Serius .. Now I suspect the group of people will not pass here.”

On top of a huge rock hill, Ciel stared at the only road in the canyon. Looking down, at the streets being piled by snow, she felt quite depressed.

Ciel and Ryo now wear long coats as warmers. Despite having a high level, both of them still liked things that were practical and comfortable.

“Possibly they are delayed because of the snow that started to fall.”

Ryo answered calmly and politely. He completely forgot the shameless face of the prince figure he was following.

“Pending due to snow? On the way, they did not prepare themselves to go through such a thing even when they were leaving already near winter?

When winter comes, are they delayed? Totally unprofessional!”

Ryo looked at Ciel in silence. He was standing while looking at the silver-haired young man sitting on a chair by the campfire. In the young man's hand, there was one cup of hot chocolate. In the other hand, there was one jar of snacks. Not only that, not far from the campfire looks a magnificent and warm tent.

Don't you consider this a picnic, Prince Luciel? To be honest, from your expression .. you even enjoyed this!

Seeing Ciel complaining while drinking hot chocolate and eating snacks made Ryo depressed. The young man really looked careless, unlike someone who was ready for battle!

“Outside it's a bit cold, I'll get into the tent.”

Ciel who spent the hot chocolate packing her things before getting into the tent.

“If you want to make hot chocolate, just make it yourself. While snack ... just eat the smoked meat you bring.”

“...”

Seeing Ciel entering the tent, Ryo once again lost his words.

Prince Luciel ... You came here for a picnic, right? Definitely not for war, right? Tell me!

Ryo complained in his heart. After calming down, the person finally decided.

“I'll take a walk to change the atmosphere.”

“OK. If you meet the enemy, go ahead and light a flare. I'll be right after.” A lazy voice sounded from inside the tent.

The corner of Ryo's lips twitched. Shaking lightly, he finally decided to take a walk.

At the time of sightseeing, Ryo did not see many animals or plants at all. Looking towards the sky covered by the clouds, where the snowflakes began to fall, the man let out a long sigh.

Due to the cold temperature, the air that was blowing from his mouth became steam. Closing his eyes for a moment, Ryo enjoyed that cold and silent atmosphere. At that moment. The sound has a certain rhythm. If noticed, it was the sound of a horseshoe.

Looking at the source of the voice, Ryo saw a line of knights riding on horses. They were escorting the horse carriage that was in the middle. In number, there were about a hundred horsemen. Not too big, but also not too small for a line of guards.

Recalling what Ciel said, Ryo decided to immediately go ahead and confront them when those people were unprepared.

Ryo immediately came down from the hill and blocked the road. A black knight who confronted over a hundred horsemen. Really incredible view.

When the line of knight horsemen saw Ryo blocking the way while holding something in his hand, they immediately stopped and stood up.

The figure who was at the very front immediately exclaimed.

“Someone is blocking the way, most likely an ambush! Prepare to fight!!!”

Putting on a cold expression on her face, Ryo raised his right hand then shot a flare into the sky.

The row of mounted knights immediately put up a defensive position to protect Prince Fenton's carriage. As a red light bloomed in the sky, the knight leader's cry sounded.

“Get a line, prepare yourself to withstand an ambush!”

The knights instantly retreated in a certain position while holding a large shield. They prepared with a rain of arrows or magic shots directed at them. However, one minute .. five minutes .. nothing happened.

Ryo who was standing in the middle of the road blinked. While feeling the cold wind caressing his face, that person's expression turned ugly.

Don't say .. he overslept!
