The Useless 8th Prince

All There's a Reply

“What are you waiting for? Please login.”

Looking towards Don, Ciel nodded while smiling gently. He follows Aiz and Don to enter the house. Inside the house, a little princess Don sits in the living room. While his wife, the woman was seen washing dishes in the kitchen. Seeing Ciel's arrival, the woman nodded politely.

Ciel nodded back while looking around, but he did not see Vahn.

“I didn't see Vahn?”

“The child ..” Don sighed long. “Since the incident ... he trained and studied too hard.”

“The incident?” ciel asked doubtfully.

“Please sit down first. We can talk about this later. By the way ...he?” Don looked at Gordon.

“This is our colleague who is running a mission in the Blood Diamond Kingdom. His name is Gord, despite his age .. yes, he is still quite excited.”

“So so. Greetings, Mr. Gord.” Don greeted politely.

“Don't call me Sir. Gord or Mr. Gord is fine.”

“Then, greetings know, Mr. Gord.”

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Don.”

Sitting in the living room, Ciel along with the other two sat down. There were only four people there. Aiz understands it's not the time to interrupt, so she leaves with Don's daughter. They're looking for Vahn.

“So .. It turns out you are waiting for Mr. Gord, Mr. Gin.” Don said relax.

“You could say so.” Ciel said relax.

Rather than when dealing with the nobles full of tricks, Ciel seemed more relaxed. He preferred to talk to relatively simple ordinary people. Of course, ordinary people were kind and quite honest.

“You want to pick up Vahn and Aiz before leaving?” ask Don.

Ciel nodded lightly before replying, “Indeed. I'm here to pick them up. About their cost of living ..”

“Didn't you have given me that much time? That's more than enough. There is even more left to save.”

“Is there something when travel back?” ask Ciel.

“Indeed. We encounter a pack of wolf-type Demonic Beasts on our way back. It looks like the horde is hunting because it is close to winter. Thank goodness, we made it yesterday the day after tomorrow.” Don laughed warmly. “I'm surprised you came so fast.”

Ciel then regained consciousness. Don and the others following the caravan took about 15 days on the way. He was only about a week. The time the young man spent in Redstone City, stopping Prince Fenton's entourage, and so on. Approximately spend the same time as the length of the caravan trip.

Sighing deeply, Ciel could not help but ask.

“Did something happen to Vahn?”

“It ...” Don scratched his bald head with a friendly expression. “She looks scared. I know from Aiz that Vahn has been traumatized by the Demonic Beast horde.”

“Really?” ciel asked doubtfully.

“It's true.” Don smiled gently.

“Uncle Don lied!”

The voice of the young man sounded from a distance. Moments later, Vahn's figure entered the room. He looked towards Ciel then towards Don with a sad expression.

“Uncle Don lost one of his eyes for protecting me. He was injured in the stomach and has not healed. Skull Crusher .. Don's uncle's group also left him because of it.

This ... this is all my fault!”

Vahn said in a hoarse voice. He choked a little from sadness and anger.

“Is that true? Your colleagues just left you?”

“Become right, half wrong. You must know, Mr. Gin. I am already old. This was my last trip and my friends. Some retired from mercenary jobs, while the younger ones chose to join a better group.

The older us already raised a little money to live a pretty good life. So .. Skull Crusher is indeed destined to disperse. I've also explained that to you, Vahn.”

“Your ... is it really because it protects Vahn? But ... You and your family don't look to hate him at all.”

At that moment, Don's wife entered the room while bringing him a few cups of hot tea. Yes, the usual tea. You could even say the cheapest tea.

Putting a cup of tea in front of each guest and her husband, the woman smiled gently.

“Sorry, there is only a simple tea like this. And Vahn's problem, of course we don't hate him. The work of mercenaries was extremely dangerous, risking lives at all times. I've been telling that fool to stop since a while ago.”

Looking at the good and honest woman then towards Don, looks rogue but has a soft heart and a knight spirit.

I'm sorry, Don. I thought you were the evil keroco character in those classic novels. Pardon me!

Feeling the kindness of the Don family, Vahn rubbed his eyes. Can't hold back the sobs. Ryo and Gordon were also quite surprised. It is rare to see such a good family.

Although usually relatively simple citizens, they are usually still a bit selfish. But it is also natural, those who have difficulty taking care of their own lives do not have time to take care of others. Nothing wrong at all.

Ciel himself let out a long breath. He then extended his hand. One bottle of low grade healing potion and three gold pieces appeared on the table. He did not have low grade potions, but he received a lot from his harvest.

“Compensation cost.” Ciel said relax.

Don and his wife had shocked expressions on their faces. The bald man immediately shook his head with a smile on his face.

“No need, Mr. Gin. That's too expensive. I've also said, the money before is a lot and enough to start a new life. I am a mercenary and carry out my duties. Wounds like this or even death are already at our risk. You must know that, too, so …

Save it back, Mr. Gin. The wound in my stomach will heal after some time.”

Ciel looked at Don's wife. Not at all different from Don, he also had no greed in his eyes. Really nice and simple family.

Helping selflessly and already at work risk, is it?

Sighing deeply, Ciel then gave a gentle smile.

“Then just think of it as a gift from me. You guys deserve it.”

“This is overrated, Mr. Gin. You-”

“Receive it and make me relieved.”

Ciel interrupted immediately. If they did not accept it, he felt somewhat regretful as it would hurt his own conscience. The young man could not be too cruel to the people by his side. While the enemy ... that's another story.

Not to mention, Ciel got another big harvest. It was Vahn and Aiz. Having survived the attack of the Demonic Beast thanks to Don, they felt weak and excited to learn as well as develop. Like Theo who wants the power to protect his loved ones.

Forget the old man smelling the ground or the buffalo and the stupid lizard, I found two good seedlings!

Recalling something, Ciel continued saying.

“If you want, I can introduce someone to hire you, Don.”

Ciel then took something from under his cloak. Stretching out his hand, he showed the emblem of the Flamehart Family.

Don and his wife were immediately dumbfounded. They were so shocked they could not speak. Seeing that, Ciel shook his head lightly. He could not help but say in his heart.

Yep. This is what you deserve. I still believe .. There's all in return.
