The Useless 8th Prince

Isn't That Boring?

“Did no one want to explain it to me!”

Andrew shouted with a fierce expression on his face. Sitting back in his chair, the middle-aged man looked so grim. He's really very confused.

To prevent failure, Andrew had already prepared seven battalions. In each battalion contained 1000 knights. Surprisingly, before they went on a mission to mess up the knight line led by King Charles, those on standby suddenly disappeared just like that.

Some people have been assigned to check, but the results are nil. No marks at all. Actually there is a little hint that the temperature of the place is very different from the surrounding area. That alone was still lacking to find evidence of how the entire knight disappeared.

If it's an ambush case …

Andrew who was imagining it suddenly goosebumps. No matter how, there should be traces of damage from the fight. Except ... a thousand knights died without having the chance to fight at all.

Imagining how a thousand knights were wiped out just like that, Andrew breathed in a cold breath. He had no idea how King Charles found such a powerful favor. Only, the man felt very troubled.

Andrew suddenly recalled where Charles had gone before. The figure of the mysterious young man who was being predicted to have talent surpassing the monsters appeared in his mind. The figure of the young man who could use large-scale fire magic and burn everything.

Is that the rumored ... Prince Luciel?

Feeling the excitement, Andrew immediately asked.

“Say! How does the temperature change there? Is it getting very hot? Can what's in that area burn?”

One of Andrew's confidant knights bowed politely before explaining.

“No, Milord. When we got there, it was very cool. It feels like early spring. It's really weird when it's mid-spring.”

“Cool? Means ... more towards cold?”

Andrew frowned. Facing enemies that ‘cukup’ is known to be very troublesome. Not to mention now he had to be faced with such a mysterious opponent. The man smashed through the table with an angry face.

“SEARCH! FIND A POINTER AND DON'T COME BACK BEFORE YOU GET IT!”

...***...

Meanwhile, in a small bar the trading district of the Silver Fang Royal Capital.

The figure that gave Andrew a headache, Ciel was sitting while eating food at his desk. Next to her looked Camellia who was drinking wine with a calm expression. The two of them took off their robes and masks, looking rather conspicuous, but still blending in with the others.

In front of the two, there were three thin men with red, yellow, and green hair. They were the leaders of a small, quite famous group called the Rainbow Stinger.

“I said, Brother Gin. You and your wife are really lucky. If it gets caught, it is very dangerous.” The skinny red-haired man said with a long sigh.

Not only him, his two younger siblings also looked at Ciel with astonished expressions. Handsome man and beautiful woman, both strong and went to explore the world together as adventurers. A lot of people's romance!

“Ya.” Ciel nodded. “Actually my wife and I wanted to leave after hearing that the Capital would be in chaos. After all ... outsiders like us are definitely suspected.”

After saying that, a hand holding a handkerchief was directed at him. Clean the remaining oil near his lips. Looking towards the attentive Camellia, Ciel smiled.

Ciel then gently dipped Camellia's cheek before saying, “Thank you, Hara.”

“Do not in public. It was a shame,” Camellia said with a timid expression.

Seeing the romantic couple in front of them, the three brothers felt neglected. They even felt something break inside their chest.

“Kak Gin .. can you forgive us? Don't you feel sorry?”

Hearing the red-haired man complain, Ciel chuckled somewhat recklessly.

“Sorry ... we are very close and yes, sometimes too close.” Ciel smiles. “By the way ... I heard the Capital will be the center of war? Isn't that very dangerous for citizens?”

“You how else? Now the city is closed. Trying to get out would be immediately suspect. Best imprisoned, if bad ..may be arrested and killed. Facing the rebels, this kingdom will be in chaos.”

“Rebel?” Ciel suddenly chuckled. “Do you guys want to know an interesting rumor?”

“What is it, Brother Gin?”

“This is a secret, I don't know if to say it or not.”

Ciel stroked his chin with a heavy expression. Seems to be thinking hard.

The red, yellow and green head suddenly stood up. The red head poured wine into the cup, the yellow head cut the meat steak with a respectful expression, while the green head massaged Ciel's shoulders.

“Come, Brother Gin. Other than your adventure story, can't you share that information with us, this little brother?” The red head persuaded.

Hearing that made Ciel almost choke on the wine in his mouth. Looking towards the three people staring expectantly, Ciel let out a long sigh.

“Actually I don't want to say it. Because you're calling me the oldest brother. I'll give you this valuable information .. for free. But you guys have to keep a secret?”

“Of course we will keep a secret!” say all three in unison.

Hearing their answer, Ciel began to whisper.

“Everyone said that King Charles had died, right? Knight Tez and his family were considered treasonous and were put on trial. But ... do you know? It's all fake!

In fact, King Charles' older brother, Mr. Andrew tried to usurp the throne. What you now call the defector is actually King Charles, Duke Harry, and the knights who rushed to the Capital.

I know it's hard to believe, but it's real! I got it from a reliable source. Also ... I heard, as long as there are people who can help reveal this truth to the knight line so that some will support King Charles, that person will be given a big reward after the war is over!”

The three people looked at Ciel suspiciously.

“Don't look at me like that. I want to say this to some knights, but I am not from the Silver Fang Kingdom. Not to mention that my wife and I do not have a great reputation in this place.

Rather than believe .. surely many knights would be suspicious. They will definitely arrest me and my wife and be judged by Mr. Andrew.”

Ciel then looked towards the three brothers with a serious expression.

“You're different. Although only mercenaries .. you guys have a reputation. If you take this chance, you will definitely soar!

A gift from King Charles .. is it money, or even a title? That must be amazing. From a small mercenary then to a Baron noble .. or perhaps a Viscount?

Just imagining it makes me a bit envious.”

“Quiet, Brother Gin! We are not ungrateful people. If we really become nobles, we don't mind giving you a large plot of land and a mansion. Make sure Kak Gin and Kak Hera live happily!”

While stating that, the three brothers served Ciel with wine, steak, and shoulder massages.

“Have your promises. After traveling around the world, maybe I'll stop by to see you guys. Whoa! I can't wait to show off to so many people if I have a noble brother.”

“Hahaha! Drink a lot, Brother Gin!” The red hair looked happy.

After eating and drinking wine, Ciel then said goodbye.

“I'm not strong anymore,” said Ciel with a feigned expression drunk. “Sayang .. let's go to the room. I'm already impatient.”

“This is a public place,” whispered Camellia who pretended to be embarrassed.

In front of the envious gaze of many people, Ciel and Camellia went to their room. Meanwhile, the three brothers looked at each other.

“Don't be envious, you two! After we become nobles ... we must also have a beautiful couple like Kak Hara!

We must remember the kindness of Gin. Then ... You guys know what to do, right?” said the red head.

“Of course we know, Brother!” answer the other two at the same time.

Indeed, the information Ciel gave was 75% true. As for the reward, it still depends on Charles. Only, the three brothers did not know. Ciel had come to the Capital two days earlier. The young man had also contacted two mercenary groups that were no less famous than the Rainbow Stinger.

Entering into the room, Ciel's drunken expression instantly disappeared. He casually threw himself onto the bed with an indifferent face.

“You really have made a mess, Mr.”

Ciel looked at Camellia who was looking at him full of admiration and fear.

Ciel then sat on the bed looking so calm. The young man raised the corner of his lips, smiling coldly.

“All players have prepared. After one week, there will be surprises in the war. Yes ... leave the curtains open! Give them a surprise.

Too ordinary war .. isn't that boring?”
