The Useless 8th Prince

It's Become Responsibility

Hearing Jenny's reply, Ciel looked quite surprised. Normally, that woman should have returned to the Silver Fang Kingdom. In addition to living a better life, he can also make Theo get his due.

According to Jenny herself, being with Ciel was the best for them. The woman already knew how the Silver Fang Kingdom was. A dozen years ago, the water inside was already so murky. Not to mention now.

On the surface it looks so peaceful. But behind all that, many nobles are trying to bring each other down. Even the Princes did not hesitate to get rid of people they thought were unsightly.

Maybe his own brother could be said to be different from the others. According to Jenny, that is what made Charles appointed King, either by their father or the people who supported him.

“Why, Jenneva?” charles asked when he heard his sister's answer.

“Me and Theo feel comfortable staying here. Isn't that right, Theo?”

“Yes. I am happy to stay here,” replied Theo while nodding lightly.

“Because Theo is a descendant of the Ivercrown Family and has excellent talent, he can fight for the title of Crown Prince and become the next King of the Silver Fang Kingdom.

Even my father supports it. With Theo, the development of Silver Fang Kingdom will be better.”

“Kak Charles .. please don't drag us into those murky waters again. It's enough that I'm feeling the cruelty of the Ivercrown Family. Theo has suffered too much. I don't want to make her feel the same way.”

“I can guarantee it!” said King Charles.

“Until when? Dad died? You dead? What about your wife and son? You should have a family, right?

As princes .. will they allow foreigners to occupy the throne? Moreover, the nobles would definitely oppose Theo. You say such things as if you do not know them.”

“...”

Charles could only remain silent. That's because what Jenny said was true. He desperately wanted his younger brother and nephew to return home to the Silver Fang Kingdom. But Charles knew, even if he tried to coerce .. Ciel would also stop him.

“What about Mom?” ask Jenny.

“Mother ..” Charles took a deep breath. “He died after 5 years you disappeared.”

“...”

Hearing that, Jenny's body immediately shook. A surprised expression was clearly visible on his face. In fact, two rows of tears began to flow in the corner of his eyes.

“Are you okay, Mom?” Seeing his mother's condition, Theo looked worried.

Unlike Theo who has no previous sweet memories, Jenny still has fond memories along with her family. Of course, as a princess, she felt lost after hearing that her mother was dead.

Hearing the question from her son, Jenny immediately wiped her tears and shook her head lightly.

“No. It's okay, Theo.” After saying that, he turned his gaze towards Charles. “Please come back, Brother Charles. Just forget us. All this is enough.”

“...”

King Charles then closed his eyes before sighing deeply. When he opened his eyes, the man looked towards Ciel.

“I have a request for you, Prince Luciel.”

“Tell me,” replied Ciel with a calm expression.

“Please take care of my sister and nephew. Even as useless brother and uncle, I don't want to see them suffer again.”

Seeing how a King dispelled his dignity and bowed towards him, Ciel was slightly surprised. Seeing Charles' sincere gaze, Ciel's expression became even more tender.

“I can promise it.”

Hearing Ciel's reply, Charles looked towards the young man for a moment. He then nodded.

“Because it has been confirmed with my own eyes, it means that there is no reason for me to be here. Not to mention, after hearing Jenneva's story, I felt worried that person would do a bad thing when I wasn't in Silver Fang Kingdom.

Then ... I will return first.”

“No.” Charles nodded lightly. “I just want to make sure of something. After knowing the answer, it is enough.”

“Then, please accept this as compensation for the misunderstanding earlier.”

Ciel threw the small box at Charles. The person caught it, after opening it, his expression slightly changed. He looked at Ciel with a deep expression before nodding seriously.

“Then, I will not hold you anymore,” Ciel said casually. “Let me drive you away.”

“Good.”

After the conversation, Ciel along with Jenny and Theo escorted King Charles away. Looking at the horse carriage that disappeared in the distance, Ciel let out a long sigh while thinking.

Hopefully ... my guess is wrong.

...***...

Her night.

Ciel walked in the dark hallway of one of the buildings of Black Lily Castle. The young man then stopped in front of a door and knocked slowly. A few moments later the door opened.

“A-There can I help you with, Mister?”

Looking into Jenny's red and misty eyes, Ciel sighed. Although the woman refused to leave, she knew that Jenny must be very sad. After all, a normal person will be sad when his mother dies and his father gets sick.

“Can I log in?” ask Ciel.

“S-Please.”

Entering the room, Ciel found a place to sit. In that room, there were only the two of them. Now Theo lives alone and is more independent since experiencing the resurrection. So, for Jenny it was obvious. The prince was intending to meet him.

“A-Is there anything I can help you with, Mister?” ask Jenny who is sitting on the edge of the bed.

“You actually want to go home, right?”

“...”

Hearing Ciel's sudden question, Jenny caught her guard down. He did not expect that his master was aware of the thing he had been hiding.

“Tell me. I won't be angry at all or punish you.”

“S-I .. I want to go home. Not to stay there, but ..” Jenny looked down with a sad expression. “I want to visit dad and visit my mom's grave.”

“Then just do it,” said Ciel casually.

Ciel's answer really immediately stunned Jenny. He was ready to accept his master's anger. But the answer is quite the opposite.

“Come.”

Hearing Ciel, Jenny hesitantly approached and sat down near the young man. His heart was worried and somewhat doubtful. His heart started pounding when he thought of what Ciel might do to him afterwards.

However, once again Ciel's words stunned him.

“Will I lend you my shoulder. You don't have to carry everything yourself. Besides ... I am your master.

It is my responsibility to shoulder some of the burden and help yourself.”

Hearing that remark, Jenny felt a warm feeling in her heart. The woman then leaned against Ciel's shoulder while closing her eyes. Although streams of tears continued to flow, a gentle smile was seen on her lips.

“Thank you for everything .. Mr.”
