The Useless 8th Prince

Moving Towards the Capital

“You can stay here tonight.”

Hearing Ciel's words, Jenny felt warmer. But the woman also knew what to do. He shook his head lightly before replying.

“No, Sir. If I stay ... there will definitely be bad rumors about you starting to circulate.”

Ciel who heard Jenny's reply raised the corner of her lips. If anyone sees that they are sleeping in the same room at night. Despite doing nothing, bad rumors will circulate.

Not to mention when they returned to the Black Sun Empire. Ciel who made Jenny as his concubine will be suspected. Once traced, Gin's true identity is herself to be revealed. It's gonna be very troublesome. However …

“It looks like you're sure that I've accepted you, Jenny?”

Hearing Ciel who asked in a seductive voice, Jenny became even more embarrassed. He muttered softly, “I-That's because .. I'm sure Tuan wouldn't do this kind of thing to any woman.”

Ciel who saw Jenny replied timidly chuckled. He kissed the woman's forehead before saying, “Smart.”

Despite the apparent reluctance on her face, Jenny still broke free from Ciel's embrace. He then got up. Before leaving, he suddenly kissed Ciel on the cheek and ran away like a little girl as he said,

“Goodnight, Mr.”

Seeing the figure that left the room made Ciel shake his head lightly with a gentle smile on his face.

...***...

One week later.

For some reason, the movement must begin at that time. With a black robe and a silver mask, Ciel stood on the city wall while looking at the tens of thousands of knights in full clothes lined up. Seeing that, he could only sigh deeply.

Quantity over quality, right?

Seeing how the elite knights in this kingdom were roughly equal to his Three Major Divisions, Ciel shook his head lightly. Not to mention compared to the shadow division, most of the elite knights of Silver Fang Kingdom had already lost. Whereas those ordinary knights ... Ciel felt they looked like cannon fodder.

“What's up, Gin?”

Hearing the question, Ciel gazed towards the figure approaching him. That person was Camellia. The girl also wears clothes like her.

Unlike the others, the two of them did not march along. Theo and Jenny followed Charles and the other nobles leading the knights towards the capital. As for Ciel and Camellia, the two of them would move on their own.

“Nothing.” Ciel shook his head lightly. “Are you ready, Hara?”

“I'm ready.”

Wings made of black ice appeared on Ciel's back. Meanwhile, two giant bat-like wings appeared on Camellia's back. The two nodded at each other then flew up and disappeared among the clouds.

Three days after departure.

“Did you not find any good stuff?”

Hearing Ciel's question, Camellia shook her head. If you look around the two of them look a lot of knight corpses. Even more terrifying, each corpse looked dry because it had been sucked out of its blood.

Camellia did all that. Of course, he didn't suck them. Even the girl was disgusted with blood other than her master's. The reason why they were dry was a rapier in Camellia's hands.

The Rapier of The Sanguine.

A little worse than Ciel's spear, but it was still an artifact. That thing Ciel got from the treasure storage room of the Black Sun Empire. Only, the rapier has conditions. The use must be of Bloodborne descent.

Unlike Ciel's spear which could be used after possession was moved, the rapier was quite unique. Although possession can be used, it can only be used with blood magic (Bloodborne). Otherwise, it was nothing more than a sharp and hard weapon.

Ciel observed the rapier in Camellia's hands. The silver-colored sword handle with such exquisite ornaments, he was not too surprised to have seen many such beautiful weapons. But when he saw the body of the sword that was completely red as if it was made from rubies.

The more it absorbs the blood of its enemies.

Fits the Devour skill, really envious!

Without Camellia noticing, her master had made up his mind to look for a type of weapon similar to his rapier.

“Then ... we continue the journey.”

Nine days after departure.

“Is there still no one matching?”

Hearing Ciel's question, once again Camellia shook her head. What the young man thought was suitable was a blood slave candidate for Camellia. He wanted the girl to also grow her own army.

Looking at Camellia who was shaking her head, Ciel couldn't help but ask.

“What requirements do you want?”

“Women with good talent. Like the Vampires in Black Lily Castle.”

What Camellia meant was the rest of the Vampires of the Bathory Family. Seeing how the girl chose, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. In war, most of them were men. Looking for women is obviously inefficient.

“Why should be a woman?”

Faced with Ciel's question, Camellia turned her face away.

“Because in my heart there is only one man, that is you ... Sir. I just want to prevent misunderstandings, and I don't want to make you disgusted to me.”

Hearing that made Ciel raise his eyebrows. Since there was a soul contract, he had absolutely no fear of being betrayed. So the young man did not think too much about it because he already believed in his lover.

Realizing how the women thought, how to try to be the best for her.

Compared to them, Ciel felt himself lacking in attention. Perhaps she had met many of the women's needs, but still .. Ciel still felt a lack of attention.

“Thank you,” said Ciel sincerely.

“It's already my duty, My lord.”

After that, the two resumed their hunt. It flew away and disappeared into the night sky full of stars.

It had been almost a month since the troops left for the Capital.

All the knights felt very strange. That's because .. their trip was too smooth! There was no ambush or anything like that. They felt like they were marching training, not at all feeling at war. That makes them a bit awkward.

While the knights who betrayed and disguised themselves in the knight line under Duke Harry became nervous. According to the information before leaving, there will be an ambush. Not much, about a thousand people.

By the time the ambush began, they would defect and attack from within the lineup formation. Making chaos and creating an unexpected ferocious war. It's just .. all deviated from the plan.

In almost a month's journey, the traitors did not see the ambush entourage. Let alone the ambushing knights, not a single person appeared. Instead, one by one the knights who betrayed disappeared at night.

There is no trace of murder. So ... they suspect that some people are starting to run away. But they would not have expected, the people who disappeared were actually finished off by Theo.

Seeing that the plan had gone awry, the people who originally intended to betray chose to stay and become more honest. When exactly one month in line, they finally confessed their actions and apologized.

King Charles was surprised. He then thought of Ciel's figure then let out a long sigh. The man then exclaimed.

“This is not entirely your fault. All this happened because I was less strict. As King, I also apologize to you. Instead …

Let's win this war! We make the Silver Fang Kingdom better and better in the future!”

“OOOHHH!!” The knights exclaimed simultaneously.

Thus, the loyal line of knights finally rushed towards the Silver Fang Imperial Capital.

The Silver Fang Royal Palace.

The sound of something slamming was heard. The figure of a middle-aged man in noble clothes slammed the cup with a grim expression. He is the older brother of Charles and Jenny, his name is Andrew Ivercrown.

Hearing the report from the knight, he frowned. Andrew could not help but get angry and shout at the people within the palace.

“How can this happen! Say it! How! Why can a plan that I put together so well be messed up like this!”
