The Useless 8th Prince

This is Very Unscientific!

A few hours after the party was over, late at night in the King's study.

“I really did not expect you to personally come to this place, Prince Luciel.”

King Charles took a deep breath. Now, the Silver Fang Kingdom had declined due to the loss of one level 6 demon and several level 5 demons. As Ciel promised, when the war was over, the Black Sun Empire .. rather Duke Raevern was already on the border to prevent the neighboring kingdom from attacking the Silver Fang Kingdom.

Of course, Ciel didn't just ask for it at no cost. But Duke Raevern refused vehemently, saying that this could be considered gratitude for the previous territorial exchange agreement, In other words, Duke Raevern now has no debt of gratitude to Ciel.

“Are you going to sue me for infiltrating the Silver Fang Kingdom, King Charles?” ciel asked half-jokingly.

“Of course not.” Charles nodded lightly. He then looked at Ciel with a serious expression. “Thank you for your help, Prince Luciel. The Silver Fang Kingdom owes you a debt of gratitude. If you need our help, you just have to say it.”

“Didn't you have heard of Duke Harry or Queen Claudia? This is just a regular deal.”

“Of course it's not like that. You have given me a precious potion, you are willing to take care of the orphans that this kingdom cannot take care of, even ... you helped us in the fight against the Curses of Shadow.”

“But ... I've picked up the Ivercrown Family artifact weapon.”

“No. That weapon you gave to Theodore. It could be said .. weapon the artifact has been passed down to the right person.”

“...”

Em ... It was unintentional, okay? Actually I want to keep it to myself, but-

Never mind. No need to think about it anymore.

After thinking that, Ciel suddenly blinked. He looked towards King Charles with a look of astonishment.

“How did you know that I gave Shadow of Fenrir to Theo, King Charles?”

“Many people in the palace know. After all ... Theodore with a happy expression continued to hug the sword and carried it around.”

Taking her around? What the …

Ciel's corner twitching. He looked relieved as well as desperate. He was relieved that Theo had only taken him around inside the palace. As for the reason he was somewhat regretful and desperate.

Such an artifact would make many people envious. If the news was known to outsiders, the boy would definitely be a target, and .. it was too dangerous!

Looks like I should explain to Theo in more detail.

“By the way ... Prince Luciel?”

The words of King Charles awakened Ciel from his daydream. The young man then looked at the figure of the man in front of him while tilting his head.

“What's up, King Charles?”

“Because Jenny decided to follow you and Theo didn't want to stay either, I couldn't force them. But I have a request for you.

As a sister, yes. I hope you can take good care of Jenny. Also, please still love Theo even if he is not your biological son.”

Seeing that serious and sincere look, Ciel raised the corner of his lips.

“Give me .. Brother Charles.”

...***...

About three weeks later.

After Jenny spends time with her family, visits her comatose father and leaves a letter, and goes to her mother's grave.

When their horse-drawn carriage crossed the forest area of the border area. Two black-robed figures stopped them. Looking at the two cloaked figures, the expressions of the other three people became even more solemn.

As for Ciel, the young man got off the carriage with a calm expression.

“You've been waiting a long time?”

The two black-robed figures opened their robes. Featuring two tall, handsome young men in black suits. One had dark red hair, and the other had light blue hair. Both also have one horn on the opposite side.

“We don't feel it's long, Master. Isn't that right, Fito?”

“You're right, Ferdo.”

Both of them were former Generals of the Curses of Shadow. But the difference is, they do not look to have half a draconic body. Looks so normal, even pretty. Just ... Their heads are still not quite right.

“This smell ... do you guys eat raw Demonic Beast meat again?” ciel asked in surprise.

“You can't blame us, Master. Every time we try ‘grilled’ meat, they will be black and hard. It was too bitter, we didn't like it.

Isn't that right, Fito?”

“You're right, Ferdo.” Fito nodded lightly.

“...”

It's because of the charade! Can't you guys learn? How long have you been grilling meat?

Ciel frowned. The young man massaged his temple with a tired expression. Closing his eyes, he recalled the previous incident.

Descending into the gigantic hole created due to the Frozen Flame Lotus attack, Ciel was about to try to search for an artifact weapon. There, he was surprised to see the surviving figures of Ferdo and Fito.

Of course, they both looked bad. Their bodies were blackened, charred and frozen. Surprisingly, the two of them still had the breath of life.

Both can talk but very slowly. The words spoken from their lips were neither cut nor anger, but a sincere plea.

‘Please accept us as your student, Guru.’

Despite only opening and closing his mouth, Ciel could clearly understand what they meant. At first he wanted to finish off the two and then take out the two artifacts like the kitchen knife, but his little heart that liked to pick up good talents did not allow it.

Due to their severe condition, it takes a whole week with the consumption of the herb. Drinking or soaking with potions, it was extremely wasteful. But Ciel did it anyway. When the two looked quite well, he made a slave contract with them.

It was only a temporary contract. Ciel would upgrade it to a soul contract, but the items he needed were lacking. So he tried to take care of it after returning to the Blackfield Region.

As for their appearance, it was Ciel who taught it to both of them. Like him who can eliminate or bring out his six black wings. As it turned out, Half-Dragonborn like them could also do it.

At first they did not understand, but after a little learning. They can look normal. They would use that half-draconic form to fight.

The two were actually very interested in how Ciel could combine two opposing elements. Although the two could also make an explosion when crashing into a ball of hot red and cold blue light, what Ciel did was quite different. The young man's attack was like .. balance it out before combining it.

Naturally, before making a soul contract, Ciel had no intention of teaching them. Instead, he taught them how both could be normal mode or draconic mode. It has amazed both.

But ... Ciel himself was more amazed because the two turned out to learn so quickly. It made her very suspicious and felt strange.

These brain-dead twins actually learn so fast? Aren't they even able to digest the somewhat difficult words? Then ... how can it be?

It's not scientific at all!
