The Useless 8th Prince
Which Criminals Are Again?
Without feeling it, five days passed.
Within these five days, the Black Lily Region had become more active than usual. In addition to practicing more vigorously, everyone also prepared a lot of things. Besides .... The news of a King coming to visit has reached their ears.
What is the concept of King? Of course, the King is the leader of a kingdom!
For the people, the visit of a King was an honor for them. As for Ciel ... it could be considered something too troublesome. It wasn't really a bad thing, it was just that the young man didn't like it very much.
Within these five days, Julia had also prepared plans to develop the Scarlet Roze Region. After trying to find many advantages and finding solutions to many problems, Ciel and Julia managed to devise the plan. One week later Julia was about to head to Scarlet Roze City.
The knights assigned to escort Julia back to the Royal Capital. The girl forced them to return because their presence was not needed and would become a bully because it was considered to interfere in the affairs of Ciel's territory.
Ciel also agreed with Julia's decision. Instead, Ciel told Shana to always accompany the girl and take care of her. Shana will also be heading to Scarlet Roze City as Julia's bodyguard.
Shana is also a level 4 (final) demon, so Ciel feels quite confident entrusting Julia's safety to her.
“Are you okay, Ciel?”
Sitting in her study, Ciel who heard the question from Julia woke up from her daydream. Ever since coming to Black Lily Castle, the girl had helped him to take care of some work. Of course, very important things and secret plans were kept away from Julia.
“It's okay.” Ciel retorted briefly while shaking lightly.
“I'm quite surprised. Absolutely do not expect that you can take care of the territory as well as this. Even better than a Marquis or those two dukes.”
“Do you know for yourself, Sister Julia. Since childhood, me and the brothers (the princes) have been taught the basics of taking care of the region.”
“While you rarely take courses? If you don't sleep ... you will definitely disappear somewhere.”
“...”
“I still remember. When you stayed in the Northern Palace until adulthood, you were so lazy to do anything. I think ... dumping you into this place is the most appropriate choice.”
“Can't you hold back a little, Sister Julia?” Ciel took a long breath.
“Isn't that the reality? The nobles in the Royal Capital dislike you and try to keep you away. But given how they looked when you beat up Prince Victor …
I'm really satisfied.”
“Although like that ... he (Prince Victor) is also still our brother.”
“Leave it. It's his own fault to act cocky.” Julia grunts coldly. “Nby the way ..”
“What's up?” ask Ciel.
“Are you really not interested in the Crown Prince's seat, Ciel? I think you deserve that title.”
“...”
Once again Ciel took a long breath. Either because of feeling freer or how, Julia changes quite a lot when it comes to being around Ciel. The girl used to be very quiet, looked very serious, and couldn't be joked around.
As for now, the girl was really like a bird that kept chirping around Ciel. Even the young man felt somewhat helpless. However, Ciel also still prefers the current Julia. After all ... who likes to see family members depressed or depressed?
“I've said many times, Sister Julia. I have absolutely no interest in becoming Crown Prince or even Emperor.”
“Although you manage the region well?”
“It has nothing to do.”
“Although you manage your own territory which is equivalent to 1/4 asset of a Duke?”
“It has nothing to do.”
“Lalu ... what do you want?”
Immediately set up many talents to manage the entire region then spend time to live a leisurely life.
Ciel answered in his heart. If he answers directly, the young man is sure that Julia will report it to their mother soon. And eventually .. The problem will add up again.
“Whatever it is .. I will support you.”
Seeing Julia's sincere expression, Ciel raised the corner of her lips.
“Thank you.”
“Sama-sama.”
…
Around two o'clock in the afternoon.
Finally a knight came to report to Ciel. The report said that the King of the Silver Fang Kingdom had arrived in the city and was moving towards the Black Lily Castle.
Ciel, Julia, Ariana, and a line of knights prepared to welcome their arrival. Looking at the small entourage, the roughly 50 mounted knights escorting a carriage made the young man's expression rather solemn.
It seemed that the King of the Silver Fang Kingdom had only brought the elite knights from his kingdom to take control. Each of the knights had a level 3. Of the fifty people, there were two level 4 (early) knights and one level 4 (intermediate) knights. For such a line, it could already be considered good among the kingdoms around the Black Sun Empire.
“Your Majesty King Charles has arrived.”
With that report, the horse carriage stopped. When the door opened, two figures descended from inside the carriage.
The first was a male figure in his late thirties. He had a sturdy figure, wearing a knight-like outfit in platinum with blue ornaments. There was a long dark blue robe on his back. In addition ... on his head is seen a platinum crown encrusted with sapphire.
Yes ... he is King Charles of the Silver Fang Kingdom.
Behind him was a man of about age in his early fifties. His figure was one head taller than that of King Charles. He was wearing heavy armor. Although somewhat old, a domineering aura still felt from his body.
Level 6 (medium), Level 5 (medium), Level 4 (medium) …
Two level 4 (early), and forty-seven level 3.
Ciel looked at the line with an interested expression. Secretly the young man felt relieved because .. if he was serious, he could still defeat them. After all Ciel was now at level 6 (late) and had a strong body after consuming potions made from the Behemoth magic core.
Yes...the level did not go up at all but his physique increased by several folds.
“Welcome to my remote region, King Charles. I hope you don't mind at all.”
Ciel said politely, but rather casually. Doesn't look scared, but doesn't look arrogant either. Staring at Ciel, King Charles grinned. It seemed to be satisfied with the young man in front of him.
“Sorry if my visit gets you hassles, Prince Luciel.”
“Samely no.” Ciel shook his head lightly.
“Then it's good. Honestly, I came here to trouble you.”
“Can I help you?”
“I'm looking for someone.” Saying that, King Charles' expression became even more solemn. “I briefly received word that the person is in your region.”
“Can't you send a portrait? I can help you find. You don't have to bother getting to this place.”
“Can't, Prince Luciel. I ... have to find the person and see him with my own eyes.”
Seeing that a dangerous aura was emerging from King Charles, Ciel was stunned. Not that he's afraid. It was just that the young man felt somewhat depressed. Ciel only led a remote region. He complained because there were figures hiding that got him into a lot of trouble.
I'm sure it's not the Curses of Shadow. So ... who?
Which other criminal is trying to trouble me? Can't those people hide in other areas? Why should it be in my territory?
Can't I rest in peace? It's exhausting!
