The Useless 8th Prince

The visit of Duke Raevern

“Sayang ..”

One afternoon, Ariana, who entered the study, stared at the figure sitting on the chair while taking care of some important documents on the table. Looking at Ariana, the young man smiled softly.

“What's up, Ariana?” ask Ciel gently.

“Do I interrupt?”

“Samely no.” Ciel shook his head lightly. “Log in and sit down. What was? No need to hesitate, just say.”

After closing the door, Ariana then sat on the sofa quietly. Seeing the girl who still did not express her emotions well made Ciel shake her head lightly. Rising from his seat, the young man then headed to the sofa and sat down beside Ariana.

Ciel wrapped her arms around Ariana's waist, pulling her a little closer, making the girl lean on her.

“What's up? Just tell me ..”

“Did I disappoint you, Darling?”

“Why are you suddenly talking about that? Did you hear any bad rumors from outside or anything like that?”

Leaning against Ciel's chest, Ariana closed her eyes. The girl shook her head lightly.

“No. It's just, I didn't obey orders when you left. I used the item you left without consent.”

Looking at Ariana who turned out to be worried, Ciel smiled gently.

“Same as no. I told you to trust what I left you. For the decision you made .. I am not at all disappointed.

Instead, I feel that you are amazing for being able to govern the Blackfield Region when I am not here. This place is still safe and everything goes without a hitch. It makes me feel relieved.”

“Really?” Ariana looked up to look at Ciel.

“Of course true.”

In response, Ciel smiled as she looked at Ariana's face before gently tasting her fiance's lips.

While Ciel's work room was warm and romantic, a different scene appeared in the special training ground of the three members of the shadow division.

On the edge of the training field, Ryo looked depressed.

Now Gordon had started to arrange many things in preparation before the Black Lily Academy began to open. So the old man was not around Ryo. While Aiz and Vahn, both became the tail of Theo and always called the teenager as ‘Senior’, which made Theo eager to teach them.

What made Ryo depressed was not solitude, but.

On the left side, there was a humanoid lizard with wings on its back. While sitting on his right, there was a tall and burly black Minotaur. Yeah .. They're of course Clark and Asterious.

Asterious patted Ryo's right shoulder before asking in a worried and smart-ass tone.

“What's up, Junior? Do you feel depressed? What's the matter? Maybe I can help.”

Meanwhile, Clark also patted Ryo's left shoulder. Having an excited expression on his face, the silly lizard asked worriedly.

“Don't worry, Junior. Did you beat you to black and blue? Doesn't matter! You haven't been thrown off the castle, have you? Be thankful! Stay energized!

If there is a problem, you can tell a story. Don't get too carried away in the heart. That's not good. Hearing junior complaints ... is also the duty of a senior.”

Hearing how Clark emphasized the word ‘Junior’ made Ryo more depressed. He felt depressed because yesterday after the two arrived and Ciel told himself to fight both!

It didn't really matter if it lost against Asterious who was the same age as him. But against the younger Clark .. Ryo is quite depressed. At first he tried to accept because Clark was a rare Dragonborn race. He had not expected that he would be able to meet Dragonborn here.

It's just that, after seeing the stupidity of Clark .. Ryo became suspicious of the science he had read before.

Wasn't the Dragonborn race heroic and acting like true knights? What the fuck is wrong with this Dragonborn? He was even more stupid than a Goblin!

Ughhhh! Could the book I've learned be wrong? Maybe the Dragonborns are this stupid?

As if recalling something, Clark suddenly returned to advising.

“...” Ryo was silent.

“Imagine that beautiful face, melodious voice, and .. four smooth legs that are toned and beautiful.” Clark said before shaking meaningfully.

“Four feet?” Looking at Clark, Ryo looked puzzled.

“Are you stupid, Junior? Centaurs have four legs. You ... don't even know that?” Clark looked at Ryo with a dumbfounded expression.

Seeing the silly expression on the reptilian's face, Ryo somehow wanted to directly beat him up. But he was also helpless as he was weaker than the winged lizard. The young man could only curse inwardly.

It's bullshit! Aren't you Dragonborn? How do I know you're talking about Centaur!

Also ... isn't the Dragonborn race honorable? What the fuck with that lecherous expression!

When Ryo complained inwardly, Asterious wise voice came back.

“It's okay, Junior. Don't think too much. Clark is too obsessive about the race Centaur.”

“...”

Hearing Asterious's sufficient speech ‘waras’, Ryo let out a long sigh before nodding.

“But you have to remember, Junior. Love does not look at race. I myself have two wives of the Minotaur and Melusine races.

Although the Minotaur was indeed good, Melusine. You will probably like them (ras Melusine).”

Hearing the advice from Asterious, Ryo who heaved a sigh of relief almost choked. The young man was dumbfounded. For just a few days in Black Lily City, he felt extremely physically and mentally exhausted.

Isn't Melusine a half-snake? What the fuck! What's wrong with you guys!

Are the people in this castle sane? Or I'm different and not normal!

Prince Luciel ... Please send me to Black Orchid City immediately! I can't stand these two stupid seniors!

...***...

Time has passed again.

In the end of winter, a horse carriage escorted by many knights rode up to Black Lily Castle.

“Duke Raevern come to visit!”

Hearing a report from one of the guards, Ciel who was wearing thick clothes came out of the castle followed by Ariana. Because it can already be considered a couple, it is very natural that the two welcome guests together.

Looking at the figure descending from the horse carriage, Ciel greeted with a relaxed expression.

“Welcome to Black Lily City, Duke Raevern. What makes you bother to get to a secluded place like this?”

Someplace remote, huh?

Duke Raevern looked at Ciel with a smile on his face. On his way, the person felt surprised by the development of the Blackfield Region. Under Ciel's rule, the place that was once considered remote and was only a staple food supplier became more prosperous.

It was not only his citizens who looked healthy or the knights of discipline. But ... it feels like the residents in the region are becoming more harmonious.

Prince Luciel ... You really are not simple!

After sighing in his heart, Duke Raevern replied politely.

“There are important things I want to discuss with you, Prince Luciel.”

Seeing the serious expression on Duke Raevern's face, Ciel shrugged with a relaxed expression.

“Then let's get inside the castle. It is inappropriate to talk about it outside.”
