The Useless 8th Prince

Role of a Brother

Leaving the couple that Ciel found annoying, he went towards the cage. Getting there, he immediately approached a figure so familiar.

In the cage, there was a figure of Black Wyvern who looked lethargic. Seeing the figure of Ciel appearing in front of him, the creature immediately got up and rushed towards Ciel. With a sad look, Deschia rubbed her head against Ciel's body.

“I'm back. Do you miss me, Deschia?”

The black Wyvern roared sadly as he continued to rub his head against Ciel's body. Feeling the sadness of Deschia who felt abandoned, Ciel smiled gently as he stroked the creature's head.

“Of course I won't leave you. Only, this trip is quite long. I'm sorry.”

Ciel once again stroked the creature's head.

“Do you want to go around? How about later. I have to rest for a while and take care of this matter.” Ciel said while pointing at her silver-colored hair.

Seeing Deschia nod in agreement, Ciel smiled. He spent quite a long time together with the black Wyvern before returning to his room.

After being escorted by the waiter back to his room, Ciel immediately drank a potion to restore the color of his hair and irises. Then she decided to rest for a while before taking a shower and changing clothes.

Wearing noble clothes that looked simple and elegant in black, the temprament Ciel again looked like usual. It was cold, indifferent, and looked to have a lazy aura around it.

Not wanting to let down Deschia who had waited for herself for a long time until she lost a lot of weight, Ciel immediately took out the black Wyvern from the cage. The two finally went around, flying in the sky around the city while gazing at the region covered by white snow.

In the afternoon, Ciel and Deschia returned. After returning the Black wyvern to the cage, he headed towards Flamehart Castle. When he returned, he was greeted by a little blue-haired girl. Yes, he is Zack's younger brother, Rey Flamehart.

“From ..” Ciel says relax.

Without much comment, little Rey approached Ciel. The little girl was surprised because Ciel suddenly hugged her gently. After releasing a hug, the handsome young man stroked Rey's head.

“How are you, Rey? Did you practice and learn a lot when Kak Ciel left?”

“En.” The little girl opened her arms wide. “Rey has learned a lot. Rey good girl.”

“Good.” Ciel once again stroked the little girl's head, making her chuckle.

Holding Rey's hand, Ciel enters the castle and meets Zack and Vexia.

“Either why do you make me feel annoyed, Rivalku!”

“Stop yelling inside the castle, Big Brother Fool!” Little Rey pointed towards Zack while glaring. Instead of looking scary, she looked cute.

“...”

While Zack was dumbfounded, Ciel and Vexia smiled while holding back a laugh.

“Anu .. Zack's sister is your cool sister. While Brother Ciel is a friend of brother. So ... shouldn't you support brother, Rey?”

Little Rey immediately shook her head with an expression full of certainty.

“You can't be like that, Rey. Even though it looks like it .. she is your sister. So you have to love her, understand?” Ciel advises.

“Hey ... What does that look like? I'm it-”

“En. Although Brother Zack likes to make trouble, is careless, often acts disrespectful in public, he is still my brother. So Rey has to love Zack.”

Ignoring his last words of affection, Zack felt his heart receive successive invisible arrows when his own sister considered him a bad example. With a depressed expression, he stared towards his fiancee.

“Am I as they say, Honey?”

“Honest of all. Actually ... You look less reliable, Darling.”

“...”

“Awas only later tonight.”

Not yet had Rey heard anything, Ciel had already covered both ears of the little girl with his hands.

Rey was a bit surprised, but did not try to dodge. Looking at her brother's expression, she once again pointed towards Zack.

“Kak Zack bad! Brother Zack put on such a bad face! Mother said, when it was big .. I can't get close to a guy who comes close with a face like that!”

“...”

Not only Zack, Ciel was even speechless when he heard that. Staring at Zack's stagnant face, he felt somewhat pity.

Looks cool but likes to tease women in public places .. Yes, it is not a good type.

Before Ciel said anything, Rey pulled his hand.

“Come away from here, Brother Ciel!”

Ciel smiled apologetically before leaving the two. Seeing Ciel leave, Zack smiled wryly.

“After making father and mother harder on me, now Ciel snatches my sister.” Looking towards Vexia, he blinked. “You will always be there for me and support me right, dear?”

“As a wife, of course I will be loyal and support you. It's just ... it .. maybe being calmer and dignified will make you look better, dear.”

“...”

After leaving Zack and Deschia, Ciel follows Rey around. The little girl took him around while chirping with a happy expression. He told me about the things he started to learn. Learn to read, write, and count. Hearing all that, Ciel just kept quiet with a gentle smile on his face.

In Ciel's eyes, Rey was similar to her sister Lilia. Hearing the little girl's chirp, Ciel did not interrupt at all. He understood that the little girl was complaining in her own way. Although the world of small children is more innocent, but they also have their own problems.

The problem that young children have is usually a lack of affection and pressure from their own families. The parents forced him to digest what he could not digest. Ask a child to be what they want to be. Prepare a path without trying to understand what the child wants.

However, the parents are also completely wrong. They want a child to succeed. They do not want children who are lost in life. They wanted to prepare a brighter future for their descendants. It's just that .. sometimes everything can't be done the same way.

As an older brother .. the closest person other than the parents. It was his duty to guide his sister's path and hear her grievances. After all ... an older brother is born early and treads a further path. So when her sister got lost and was worried, giving her pointers without pushing excessively was what she could do.

A brother knows more about what their parents want than a sister. So ... It would be nice for him to be a mediator and a bridge for both sides.

For Ciel, Rey already considered like her own sister even though she had only met twice. Other than hearing his complaints, he did not mind giving a little input.

For Zack .. Ciel intends to give him a lot of advice at a later time.

After they take a walk, Rey is picked up by the waiter for her afternoon routine. The little girl pouted and still wanted to play with Ciel, but the young man told her gently that Rey should not trouble the waitress who did her job. He has to learn a little to respect others.

Looking at the little girl waving from a distance and the waiter who was looking at her gratefully, Ciel raised the corner of her lips.

Although selfish, Ciel himself respected others. But he has his own life choices. You could say .. Your business is your business, my business is my business. The type that does not want to be regulated and does not want to interfere too much. Yes . unless pressed.

I don't want to interfere with the affairs of the Black Sun Empire. Yes ... let your dear brothers take care of it.

That's how Ciel convinced himself. More precisely, making excuses because he did not want to do many things. Bottom line ... he makes a lot of excuses for being lazy.

Sitting in the gazebo by the lake, the young man enjoyed the afternoon while looking at the lake with a gentle smile on his face.
