The Useless 8th Prince

It's Not that You're Not Beautiful

In the room to greet guests, seven people were seen.

Ciel was sitting together with Ariana, behind the two looking beautiful female servants. They are Jenny and Verrona. Across the table, Helena sat by herself. Behind him were two beautiful servants.

“What is it until you bother coming to a remote place like this, Miss Helena?”

“You're too polite, Prince Luciel. I'm here to deliver a message from my father.”

Hearing that, Ciel's eyes narrowed. He knew that the head of the Roschild Family would obviously not be foolish enough to ask or ask him. Supposedly, the crafty man was more ambitious because he had also long been eyeing the Marquis' seat and deposing the figure of Marquis Bathory.

Merely, that fellow had not expected the overlord of the Scarlet Roze Region to suddenly change due to the decision of Duke Raevern. At first he did not expect that Duke Raevern would give such a large territory to Prince Luciel. But after finding a lot of information, he realized that what happened was very different.

Duke Raevern swapped his estate for Prince Luciel. Knowing that the new territory had many metal mines, the head of the Roschild Family immediately understood.

It's just ...it's too unexpected!

Just two years into the South Duchy area, Prince Luciel had acquired two large territories as his personal possessions. If not seeing it for themselves, everyone who only heard it must have regarded it as an exaggerated rumor.

The head of the Roschild family had also heard rumors of how Prince Luciel tricked his half-brother into betting and then beating the man to black and blue.

Not only did it make the Queen Victoria faction lose a lot of face, even the Western Duke was also furious at his unreliable son-in-law. It can be said, since then .. The relationship between Queen Victoria and Duke West began to tenuous.

A cunning, strong, and dangerous young man!

It was the Roschild Family's head's evaluation of Prince Luciel. He did not dare to play around as there were already some cruel examples as a result of playing with the young man. He still remembers how Ciel ‘cleared’ his own territory in the first year he moved.

In addition, he also still clearly remembers how Marcus Bathory who tried to mess with Prince Luciel fell. Not only was he dropped, the young man even dug up evidence and dropped him as a traitor. Falling without dignity at all!

In the end ... The head of the Roschild Family wanted to make a connection with Ciel.

“Oh ..” Ciel looks relaxed and so indifferent. “What does the Head of the Roschild Family want to tell me?”

Without the slightest hesitation, Helena took out a beautiful-looking dimensional pouch and placed it on the table.

Ciel just looked at the thing with a cold expression.

“Try ... bribe me?” ciel asked with a cold expression.

Hearing Ciel's cold voice, Helena immediately felt nervous. Not only the girl, the two servants behind her were even trembling incoherently.

“T-Of course not, Prince Luciel. Father only welcomes you as the new ruler of the Scarlet Roze Region. It's a small gift from him to celebrate your brilliance.”

“...”

Ciel looked at Helena who was beginning to sweat profusely. The young man knew, even if he killed Helena and the knights here, no one would dare to blame himself let alone fight against him.

Taking that dimensional pouch and examining what was inside, Ciel was slightly surprised.

“Oh? Interesting ..”

Not only gold and platinum pieces, many herbal plants seem strange and rare. It seemed that the Head of the Roschild Family had emptied a lot of items in their family's storage. Even more surprising, that person actually knew that Ciel was quite fond of lesser-known strange things.

“Then I will receive this gift.”

Ciel said relax. Helena was also relieved. After receiving the goodwill of the Roschild Family, the young man before him was obviously not going to treat the Roschild Family badly. Although they still ruled for a while, they were now no longer considered nobles. Ciel could get rid of them and replace with another at any time.

After Ciel accepted that goodwill, at the very least, Helena understood that one of the places for the eight nobles in the Scarlet Roze Region had been secured by the Roschild Family.

“P-Prince Luciel ..”

Hearing Helena's nervous voice, Ciel asked again.

“It ...” Helena said nervously. “Dad still has another gift for you.”

“Oh? Why don't you take it out?”

Helena looked nervous and embarrassed. With a red face and a dazzling appearance, the girl pointed to herself.

“S-I and the two maids behind me are the gift in question.”

“...”

The room was immediately quiet. Ciel blinked and Ariana did not change her expression. As for Verrona and Jenny, the two looked at each other with strange expressions. Clearly, they all understood the intent of the head of the Roschild Family.

Helena's father was clearly confident in her daughter's appearance. Despite handing over his own daughter as a servant or maid Ciel. Clearly, she was convinced that her daughter could become one of Ciel's concubines.

Could have a powerful son-in-law, rule over two large territories, and be a Prince .. Who wouldn't want that?

It could also show how cunning and cruel Helena's father was. In order to fulfill her own ambitions, she did not hesitate to sacrifice her own daughter.

However, Helena's father did have the capital or the ability to do so. From the appearance alone, there would not be many young men who could reject the charming figure of Helena. Let alone being concubines, most of them would naturally accept her as an official wife.

The head of the Roschild Family himself was not stupid. To make Helena the official wife of Ciel, it would be considered lucky if it could happen. Because despite having an extraordinary level, the qualifications about level and status were too different from Ciel.

According to the man himself, Ciel's wife should at least be a Princess of another Kingdom or at least a Duke's daughter!

Even so, Helena's father believes that his daughter can still enter the room to get the title ‘selir’ Ciel. It's just that what people think is not right.

“I'm not interested in that. You can come back.”

Ciel said with a blank expression. It made Helena who was always confident with her face surprised. From a feeling of fear, the girl suddenly felt a complicated and angry feeling in her heart.

“A-Do you think I am less beautiful?” ask Helena doubtfully.

Seeing the doubt in Helena's eyes, Ciel only shook his head lightly. He then suggested.

“Live here for lunch together. Later you will understand.”

Feeling a bit complicated and strange, Helena nodded in agreement.

“Good.”

Without feeling it, it was lunch time.

In a dining room, there is a table with six chairs surrounding it. There were three figures sitting on the chair, they were certainly Ciel, Ariana, and Helena.

Not long after, three female figures came and filled the seats. Looking at the somewhat absent-minded Helena, Ciel opened her mouth.

“Let me introduce. You must have known her, this is my fiance, Ariana. While these three women .. they are Camellia, Elena, and Isabella. All three ... are my concubines.” Ciel said with an affectionate smile.

“...”

Looking at Helena who was still silent, Ciel spoke once again.

“Helena. Not that you are not beautiful, but ..” Ciel looks towards his four lovers.

“Do I lack beautiful women?”
