The Useless 8th Prince

Take or Release?

Helena was stunned on the spot when she heard Ciel's words. The girl then looked at the four women near the young man.

Ariana, the figure of a beautiful princess and obedient like a doll. Camellia, a beautiful girl with a warm and gentle beauty charm like a flower in spring. Elena, the figure of a beautiful woman who exuded an impression of cold and elegant. Isabella, the figure of a beautiful woman with a seductive body shape, made many men unable to turn away from her.

Among them, everything is beautiful. In addition, they even have their own characteristics.

Not to mention .. they are all very strong. Helena may not know which level she is at, but Princess Ariana's unaltered expression is stronger than her or her escorting knights. As for the other three women, Helena really couldn't count.

H-How could some powerful figures appear in such a remote region like this? I have to remind Dad!

According to Helena's father, the one to worry about within the Black Lily Region was only Prince Luciel. But after Helena came personally to this region, she learned how terrifying the territory that the nobles had always underestimated was.

Seeing the figure of Ciel's partner, Helena was sure that there were still some strong people on the young man's side. After all, there was no way the Prince would send his own lover to go to the battlefield and kill the enemy. That's too risky!

“You're fine, Miss Helena?” ask Ciel casually.

Of course I'm not okay!

Helena immediately exclaimed inwardly after listening to Ciel's question. Ciel's previous words clearly instantly broke his confidence. It is impossible for someone not to receive ‘damage’ when hearing such a remark!

Merely, Helena was still smiling gently with a timid expression.

“I'm absolutely fine, Prince Luciel.”

Despite having just been rejected outright, Helena looked at Ciel in an increasingly different way. The more he looked at the handsome young man, the more he wanted it. Yeah ... The girl hasn't given up at all.

If I could be one of Prince Luciel's women, I would definitely benefit a lot. Protection from powerful people, abundant wealth, and most importantly.

A sturdy title that is not easily removed like my family's noble title!

The fruit does not fall far from the tree. Probably the most appropriate sentence. Like her father, Helena is also very ambitious. Don't want to always be stuck with such a cramped environment.

In fact, in her ambition, the girl only wanted to marry a figure from the Duke family or above! In other words ... Imperial Family!

“Prince Luciel ..did you ... really not want to accept us?”

Helena winked with a sad and depressed expression. Of course, Ciel could still see Helena's acting. The young man only shook his head lightly in response.

While the four women were on Ciel's side, they immediately felt dissatisfied and quite angry because of Helena's actions. Even Isabella who had previously done something similar remained angry. After all ... who doesn't get angry when their lover is teased right in plain sight?

“To be honest, I might have followed the kings or upper class nobles of the past. They had three wives and five concubines. You are so beautiful, Helena. However …

Beautiful is not enough.”

Ciel said in an indifferent tone.

Although it was cold, Helena felt a glimmer of hope from Ciel's words. The girl then looked at the handsome prince in front of her with a serious expression.

“Then ... what makes you able to accept me, Prince Luciel?”

Hearing the conversation between Ciel and Helena, the other four women felt displeased. But they are very loyal and believe in all the decisions made by Ciel. In the end, they just kept quiet to listen.

“Does ... you dare to betray your own family?” ask Ciel.

Sensing Ciel's cold gaze, Helena's back was instantly drenched in cold sweat. He did not dare to reply directly to such a trap question. Helena clearly knew what the young man in front of her meant.

If Helena chose to answer ‘dare to betray’, Ciel would definitely doubt her loyalty. It might even hate people who shamelessly betray their own families.

If Helena chose to answer ‘did not dare to betray’, Ciel would definitely consider her loyal. However, the young man also found him useless and cowardly for not wanting to follow Ciel's wishes.

Both are less than correct answers. What made Helena think was .. which answer Ciel preferred.

Ciel's cold voice instantly woke up Helena who was thinking hard.

“I told you, we don't match.” Ciel looked indifferent when he said that.

“Actually any answer has absolutely no effect. I love the faithful, but I also love the family. What I tested was the firmness, honesty, and firmness of your heart.

But .. The person who has a lot of ideas in your head will definitely weigh the problem too much and hesitate. Yes ... it was a little disappointing.”

Hearing Ciel's words, Helena immediately lowered her head. He really felt beaten up physically and mentally. The girl clenched her hands tightly. He thought that he was smart enough, but all had opened up in front of Ciel.

Helena felt like a naked girl who could not hide anything in front of Ciel.

Raising her face, Helena looked at Ciel with a stern expression. There was no more pretence on her beautiful face. Just a stern look, made people definitely think that it was someone else.

“Then ... I want to make a deal with you, Prince Luciel.”

Seeing Helena's stern expression, Ciel raised the corner of her lips. The young man showed an interested expression.

“Say.” Ciel said relax.

“I want your protection.”

“How long?” ciel asked with an indifferent expression. “And what do you exchange instead?”

“As long as I'm alive. Instead, I did what you asked.”

“Too long. I'm not a bodyguard. Also ...the pay you say is less. Even with your own life, it is still lacking.” Ciel then showed a mysterious smile. “How about I give you a quote?”

Hearing Ciel's remark, Helena immediately looked at the young man with a serious expression.

“Please say,” said Helena firmly.

“Be my subordinate.” Ciel said with a relaxed expression. “As long as I am my subordinate, I will give you strength. As long as you achieve special achievements in carrying out missions, I will give you what you deserve.”

“Bawahan ..” murmured Helena. “You mean, your slave?”

Helena certainly knows some rumors about Ciel who likes to make his subordinates as slaves. Although it did make the subordinates loyal, it also made many people become afraid and feel like avoiding it. However, strangely many of Ciel's subordinates did not mind at all being ‘budak’.

“Yes. Of course ... slave only in name.” Ciel showed a mysterious smile.

“You mean???” Helena raised her eyebrows.

Ciel got up from his chair and walked towards Helena. Not paying much heed to the four lovers who were staring at her, she gently stroked the girl's cheeks and then held her chin. The young man then pulled Helena's chin slightly upwards so that the girl could stare right at her face.

“You will remain the Princess of the Roschild Family. It's just, you won't be able to betray me. I'll give you the mission .. accept or refuse, I don't really care.

If you accept the mission and complete it, you will get the appropriate reward. If you refuse the mission, I will command others to do so.

Besides, during my subordinate you are free because if you divulge secrets you will die. You can get married, have a family, and so on. I won't make you warm my bed just because you're a slave.

What I need is absolute loyalty.”

Looking at Ciel's handsome face, Helena felt a special charm. Despite knowing it was dangerous as if an evil thing would pull her down into the darkness, the girl was still tempted. His heart became worried and conflicted.

At that moment, Ciel whispered in his ear.

“So Helena ... will you take ... or release it?”
