The Useless 8th Prince

Outside the Plan!

Actually Ciel wanted to take Theo for a walk, but the teenager was taking care of Vahn and Aiz. Ciel couldn't bother them. He also wants Theo to have friends and not just focus on practice.

Not to mention, other than with Jenny, usually Theo will gather with Asterious or Clark when they are at Black Lily Castle. Ciel tried to minimize the contact between them.

Getting along with Vahn and Aiz is good. Ciel doesn't want Theo to be influenced by Asterious and Clark. Imagine what it would be like to hang out with the buffalo and winged lizard too often.

Good seedlings .. must not be damaged!

Ciel then looked towards Clark then shook his head lightly.

“If you want to meet the Centaur girl, wait until Scarlet Roze City. Let me ask the county in charge. Should have known more detailed information.”

“That's true, Mister?” asked Clark with an excited expression.

“Of course.”

“Thank you very much, Mr.”

After taking a break last night, Ciel and Clark continue on their journey.

Without feeling it, five days passed and they arrived at Scarlet Roze City.

The journey itself should take a lot of time. However Ciel and Clark use a shortcut so as to save more time.

Ciel himself actually had another purpose when it came to Scarlet Roze City. In addition to taking care of the issue of transferring the territory and the problem of choosing a new noble, he also came to look for something important.

The Vonda experimental record.

Yep. Ciel himself had already asked that to Duke Raevern but that person did not find any important note left behind by Vonda.

The young man knew, Vonda must have hidden a note of hers somewhere. The reason Ciel looked for the note was to fulfill his promise to Jean. He will try to heal and restore Raniel back to what it was before.

Ciel actually has his own way. But the young man was still looking for Vonda's records. With that woman's knowledge plus her own methods, the chances of success will be even greater. It was the best result he tried to achieve.

After all ... Ciel did not want Jean to be depressed and felt because of Raniel's death. In addition to reducing one of the subordinates that Ciel considered important, Raniel's death would definitely make it difficult for Jean to advance and come to a standstill. Although level 4 (finish) was pretty good, Ciel knew that it was still not Jean's limit.

Ciel himself always remembered the words and words he had promised someone.

The Scarlet Roze Castle.

“ Didn't expect we would meet again this soon ... Prince Luciel.”

Helena almost called Ciel ‘Tuan’. Almost forgot that now he and Ciel are seen by the public is a figure who is not too close and only limited to acquaintances.

“En.” Ciel nodded. “I will stay in the main building of Scarlet Roze Castle for a while. Has the place been vacated?”

“Since the transfer of ownership of the territory is completed, the place has been vacated, Prince Luciel.” Helena nodded. “Of course, we, the Roschild Family did not take a single item from there at all.”

“Good.”

Seeing Ciel satisfied, Helena raised the corner of her lips. Meanwhile, Clark is nowhere to be seen there and instead begins to tour the city. Of course, Ciel let him. After all ... not many people could threaten Clark in that town.

“Then I will go around the castle. Miss Helena ... as who is more familiar with this place, will you show me the way?”

Ciel then went along with Helena to tour the castle. Seeing the beautiful castle with many newly rebuilt buildings made Ciel shake his head lightly. Clearly the Roschilds had spent a lot of their savings to repair the castle they had moved to.

But they did not expect that less than a year the Roschilds would have to leave the Scarlet Roze Castle they had rebuilt. It hurt them so much, but those people knew that they could only let it go because they did not want to face the severe problems that might lead to annihilation.

“I will refund the castle construction cost to the Roschild Family.”

Ciel's sudden words left Helena stunned. He looked at the handsome young man with a astonished expression. Didn't expect to suddenly say such a thing. Of course, Helena was not stupid and immediately pointed politely.

“Thank you for your kindness, Prince Luciel.”

After being satisfied around, Ciel went to the main building of the castle to rest. That night, he had dinner with Helena and Clark. Because it is more closed, they can discuss something more freely.

“Is there anything you want to say, Helena?”

“True, Milord. After I returned, father received a letter from Duke Raevern. It seemed that Duke Raevern sent two similar letters heading to Black Lily City and Scarlet Roze City.

Coincidentally ... you were on your way. So a new letter can be delivered to you.”

Seeing Helena take out the still sealed letter, Ciel raised his eyebrows. He felt quite happy because of the caution of Helena's father. That person obviously did not dare to break the seal and chose to guard and then delivered the letter obediently.

When he opened the seal and read the letter inside, Ciel's expression still seemed indifferent. Merely, he occasionally frowned.

In the letter, there are two important reports. It can be called good and bad news.

The first news, Black Lily City will receive an important guest one month later. It was Ciel's own sister, Julia Dawnbringer. He was assigned directly by Emperor Julius to go to Ciel's territory to gain experience for a year before returning to the Royal Capital.

Yet there were no stupid high nobles. They clearly knew that Emperor Julius was commanding his daughter to help Prince Luciel take care of his new territory and stabilize it together before returning to the Royal Capital.

Yes ... that's good news for Ciel because Julia's arrival must have helped her a lot.

As for the next news, one month later the Black Lily City would also receive another guest. Not just any guest, who would come was a King from Silver Fang Kingdom and his entourage.

The Silver Fang Kingdom is located east of South Duchy. More precisely, the southeast of the Black Sun Empire.

The King of the Silver Fang Kingdom had sent a letter and received approval from Emperor Julius to visit. That person now went to visit Duke Raevern as a courtesy before going south towards Black Lily City.

The Silver Fang Kingdom was quite reclusive and not many outsiders were aware of the situation inside. It was truly very strange to hear how a King and his entourage had personally visited such a remote region as the Black Lily Region.

Of course, many nobles guessed his arrival. The King of the Silver Fang Kingdom showed his sincerity to come personally, likely to meet the figure of Prince Luciel who was considered to be extremely talented.

The nobles suspected that the King of Silver Fang Kingdom had come to see Ciel for an arranged marriage. In other words, betrothed his daughter to Ciel, making his daughter Ciel's 2nd wife.

Not knowing whether the news was true or false, the arrival of a King to his territory would create a lot of trouble. The young man even complained in his heart.

Can't I just live quietly?

Events like this .. are clearly out of plan!
