The Useless 8th Prince

I'd Better Go Home

Without feeling it, time just passed.

Ciel and his entourage have left Crimson City for the seat of South Duchy's government, where the Flamehart Family is located.

After a smooth journey through town after city by horse-drawn carriage, Ciel and the others saw the familiar city walls. Looking at a large city covered by white, a gentle smile appeared on Ciel's face.

Traveling and feeling the life .. is not bad either.

That sentence flashed through Ciel's mind. The young man felt that seeing the vast and beautiful world was quite pleasant. Even moved his heart. Only, he did not particularly like danger in a world that lacked certainty.

Just look for a beautiful place that is safe and harmless.

Without Ciel realizing they had reached their destination. Ciel then took the others to Flamehart Castle. Looking at the red-colored castle that was so striking, he smiled bitterly. Somehow ... the young man had a bad feeling.

By the time Ciel and the party reached the front of the castle, the gate suddenly opened. The figure of the youth in red clothes, red robes, even fiery red hair appeared in front of everyone.

“HAHAHA! Finally you arrived also-” Zack's expression suddenly stagnated. “What's with your hair? Winter freezes you? That must be because of lack of exercise.”

Hearing Zack start to babble, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. Didn't know that his best friend was still so stupid.

“I color it,” said Ciel. “Can you set a place for them?”

“Oh. You bring a lot of people! That's easy! Let them follow the waiter.”

“Thank you for your hospitality, Young Master Zack!” The people Ciel brought immediately saluted while bowing politely.

“HAHAHA! It's not a problem at all. You guys follow the waiter first, I want to talk to ..” Seeing Ciel looking at him coldly, Zack swallowed the saliva. “My friend's.”

Ciel felt her clothes being pulled. Looking back, he looked at Vahn and Aiz who were looking at him with doubtful expressions. With a gentle smile on his face, the young man stroked the heads of the two.

“It's okay. You guys follow the waiter and rest, there's something I have to do first.”

“B-Good, Mr.”

Ciel looked towards Ryo. Seeing that person nod, he felt somewhat relieved. After the people who came along with Ciel left with the servants, Ciel's expression became solemn.

Zack also stopped laughing. Putting on a serious expression, he said, “Dad wants to see you.”

“Good.”

Entering the living room of Flamehart Castle, Ciel saw Duke Flamehart and his wife who had been waiting there.

“Sorry to call you directly without letting you rest first, Prince Ciel.”

“No need to hesitate, Uncle.” Ciel said casually.

“Unfilial sons, kneel for me here now!” Duke Flamehart shouted furiously when he saw Zack who looked as he pleased.

“I?”

Zack pointed to himself with a stunned expression. Seeing his father's gloomy expression, the young man knew he was in trouble. In the end, he chose to obey and kneeled on the floor.

“Do you still think you suddenly healed miraculously?”

“...”

Zack thought of something. After looking at Ciel's strange appearance, he felt that something was wrong. Only when he thought hard and put together all the puzzles did an expression of astonishment and surprise appear on his face.

“Don't say ..”

“Yes. Prince Ciel infiltrated the Blood Diamond Kingdom to find the person who attacked you.”

“...” Zack suddenly choked. Tears are seen on his face. But when he realized something, he immediately looked at his father. “You know what Ciel did, Old Man! Why don't you stop it! How if-”

“I forced myself to go.”

“Ciel ... you ..” Hearing Ciel's struggle, Zack sobbed.

“As Duke, I also have a judgment. With his overwhelming strength, Prince Ciel could be considered safe. In addition ... Prince Ciel is not like a silly boy who went blindly then foolishly caught and made many people anxious.” Duke Flamehart gave a cold snort.

Zack immediately felt an invisible arrow stuck in his heart. She sees her mother for support, but …

“Ugh!”

Zack once again received an invisible arrow. The young man turned to his best friend. Ciel ignored him. Not even opening his mouth or looking at him.

“...”

Ignoring the silent Zack, Duke Flamehart looked at Ciel then bowed politely.

“Thank you for your help, Prince Ciel. I don't know what will happen to the Flamehart Family if you don't help.”

Not only Duke Flamehart, his wife also bowed politely. Ciel who saw that instantly opened his mouth.

“That's my responsibility, Uncle. Besides Zack being my best friend, this all happened because of Julia's refusal at first. But I also disagree if Sister Julia should marry that person.”

“Tap course ..”

“No need to hesitate, Uncle. Can't we still be considered family? If you really feel indebted, just treat Brother Alexander well.”

“...”

Looking at the figure of a very handsome, talented, and so devoted young man .. then looking towards his son, Duke Flamehart felt somewhat dissatisfied. Secretly the man decided to educate his son better.

Without Ciel noticing, he had dug a deep hole to bury Zack in agony due to a lesson from Duke Flamehart.

“You must be careful, Prince Ciel. According to the news I heard, Prince Fenton is a vengeful figure. Seeing you kill his subordinates, he will definitely look for you.”

“Uhuk! That problem .. I have disguised myself as a mercenary along with Ryo. People at the border will know us as Gin and Xan. While the problem Fenton …

Yes ... we killed him.”

“...”

Zack and his parents fell silent. They did not expect that the young man who looked lazy to move was actually very ferocious.

“So like this ..”

Ciel started telling stories. Of course it also covered up some unnecessary trouble on its way.

After hearing the whole story, the room grew quieter. Duke Flamehart even looked at Ciel with a complicated expression.

Disguised to enter the enemy kingdom, not only did he kill a line of powerful knights, he also killed a prince who might inherit the throne. The young man even enslaved the eunuch chief who was trained with a lot of time and money by the Blood Diamond Kingdom. Besides .... he was even still robbing money from the other princes.

Hearing how Ciel talked about ruining the inside of a kingdom as if he was returning home from a tourism trip made Duke Flamehart bewildered to have to comment how.

After that, Ciel and Zack left the room. As they walked along, a short and beautiful female figure approached them. Yes, he's Zack's fiancee, Vexia.

“Happy to meet you, Prince Luciel.”

“En.” Ciel nodded casually.

“You're not surprised to see Ciel's appearance and what does he do?”

“Isn't that foreseeable, dear. There's no way you're healing all of a sudden, right?”

“...”

Feeling that he was being too stupid, Zack felt depressed. He then glared at Vexia.

“Looks like you should be punished tonight.”

Hearing Zack's words, Vexia immediately blushed in embarrassment. Meanwhile, Ciel's expression instantly stagnated.

Really? You guys talk about that kind of thing in public? The shame!

Seeing the friendly couple, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. He began to miss his fiancee and future concubine.

It's so annoying here .. I better just go home.
