The Useless 8th Prince
Julia and Surprise
One week later, in a room in Scarlet Roze Castle.
“Okay ... how did I not think of this before?”
In Vonda's former room earlier, Ciel saw a box containing many notes. The box was buried under the bed. Something so classic and simple.
In the previous week, Ciel had been too focused on finding the secret room within Scarlet Roze Castle. Indeed, he found all the secret rooms. However there were only a few spaces to store treasures, important magic books (the ones in the Imperial Palace were also already there), and space to carry out certain hobbies.
Ciel did not expect that it turned out that the answer he was looking for was so simple.
Are the thoughts of people in this world so simple? I don't know .. forget it.
Shaking his head, Ciel finally decided to keep the box in his dimensional ring. After that, he decided to go back to his own room.
Although the bed had been replaced with a new one and the room was also her own room, the lying Ciel felt uncomfortable.
“Because I've finished the business and found Vonda's note, I'll be back the day after.”
In finishing his affairs, just like the Black Lily Region, he chose the family lim chosen as the Viscount. As for the title of Count noble, he gave it to the Roschild Family. Thus, there were now 5 Viscounts and 1 Count in the Scarlet Roze Region.
There are still three areas that Ciel will manage personally including the Scarlet Roze Region. Ciel plans on asking Julia to help organize the three. Of course, he also wanted to immediately look for another subordinate with good and trustworthy talent. The young man did not want to go back and forth from the Black Lily Region and the Scarlet Roze Region constantly.
That's too exhausting!
Her night.
Ciel and Clark eat together. Helena was only with them on the first day. If you stay in Scarlet Roze Castle for too long, it will make many people suspicious.
“Why do you look listless Clark?”
Hearing Ciel's question, Clark let out a long sigh. He propped up his chin with a melancholic expression.
“You know, Sir? Love is so complicated. The more pursued .. the further away.”
“...”
Mr? What's with that silly lizard? Is there a problem with his head?
Looking at the expression on Clark's face, Ciel felt strange. He couldn't ask.
“Do you have a fever, Clark?”
“No, Milord.” Clark shook his head lightly. “I just realized something. It turns out .. Love is not something that can be forced. It needs to be planted, nurtured, and eventually grown slowly but surely. Yes ... like the herb fields in the colorful City of Greenscale.”
Okay ... It's clear, this person is not well.
The corner of Ciel's lips twitched when she heard Clark start babbling about love. He's feeling a little depressed. Now ... Even the winged lizard wants to teach him about love. That's too much!
“Just tell me what happened to you, Clark.” Ciel said coldly.
“You must know that I went straight to the slave sale when I reached Scarlet Roze City right, Mister?”
“Iya.” Ciel answered briefly. “What does that have to do with it?”
“No Centaur there.”
“Isn't that common? You usually don't find it either, do you?”
“Ya.” Clark nodded. “Normally like that. However, at last the slave sale house has received several Centaur.” girls
“Then?” Ciel glanced at Clark.
“I'm very happy and heading to that place immediately. But ... do you know, my lord?”
“What?”
“When I got to that place, I was initially very surprised to see those beautiful Centaur girls. Four smooth legs, a beautiful face, and an attractive body. But I feel something is lacking ..”
Clark suddenly sat up straight and touched exactly where his heart was and said in a melancholic tone.
“After realizing it. Turns out I'm not shaking here. Yes ... I feel their face alone is not enough to thrill.
Yes ... I have been determined to win Miss Zenara's heart!”
“...”
Looking towards the pretentious cool Clark, Ciel was completely speechless. Indeed, what Clark said was true. It's just that, when that person said it, he felt …
Less suitable.
Those are probably the two words that best describe it. Looking at the winged lizard with a melancholy face talking about love, Ciel really could not describe how she felt.
Too complicated!
...***...
Ten days later.
Ciel and Clark finally arrive at Black Lily City. Arriving at the castle, Ciel decided to take a bath and rest. Despite not facing a strong opponent, traveling with Clark really made him tired. Yes, mentally tired.
Day after day passed. Ciel did not have much busyness at all. Doing daily activities as usual, time just passes.
Two weeks later, exactly 25 days after Ciel received a report from Duke Raevern, Julia and the troupe finally arrived at Black Lily Castle.
Ciel and Ariana went to greet him personally. Initially Isabella, Camellia, and Elena suggested to make a festive welcome event for Julia. It's just .. without much thought Ciel immediately rejected it.
According to Ciel himself, such a thing was unnecessary. He prefers to run everything as usual. The young man himself and Ariana were enough to welcome Julia. Of course, just for formality.
“Finally you arrive, Sister Julia.”
“Welcome to Black Lily City, Princess Julia.” Ariana bowed politely welcoming the girl in them.
Julia who had just gotten off the horse carriage looked around before approaching Ciel. The girl knew that her sister was deliberately not making a big welcome. He himself actually did not like that kind of thing either.
Seeing her sister coming down personally to greet her already made Julia happy. Because thus, arguably Ciel received his presence in the Blackfield Region.
Julia then saw a beautiful doll-like woman standing near Ciel. The girl could not help but sigh deeply in her heart.
If you pay attention .. This girl named Ariana is indeed very beautiful.
“You are my own sister's fiancee. No need to be too formal, call me Sister Julia like how Ciel did it.”
“Good, Sister Julia.” Ariana replied without a change of expression on her face.
“Log in advance. For the knights who escorted you, let the servants take care of them.”
“Okay.” Julia nodded lightly.
In Ciel's study, there were three figures sitting on the sofa. They are Ciel, Ariana and Julia.
“Before discussing anything else, I want to convey something to you, Ciel.”
“Say.” Ciel said with an indifferent expression.
“Aunt Maria told me to bring this and give it to you ..”
Julia placed a small box on the table and opened it. Inside, there was a bottle of potion that was pitch-black and looked gloomy.
“It was a potion made from an object you entrusted to Emperor Julius.” Julia tilted her head. “That's what Aunt Maria said.”
“...”
Ciel did not reply, but simply stared at the bottle of potion in a serious expression. What is meant by ‘benda’ is a strange black stone that he accidentally discovered. No one would have thought it was worth it.
From an ancient record, Emperor Julius tells us what the object really is. The strange stone was actually a magic core that was inside the heart of a Demonic Beast.
Not just any Demonic Beast, but a creature that has the nickname ‘Mainland Ruler. A level 7 Demonic Beast that was more dangerous than an ordinary dragon …
