The Useless 8th Prince

Has Changed a lot

One week without feeling like it just passed.

In the workspace, Ciel seemed to be taking care of quite a lot of documents that previously piled up. Not far from him, there was a small girl figure similar to Ciel. The girl sat on the sofa while reading a fairy tale book with an innocent expression on her face.

The girl's name is Eve, the daughter of Luciel Dawnbringer. At least that's how people should call him. But the girl was not a girl. He was created from Vonda's experiments, which were eventually completed by Ciel.

In this one week, in addition to the repair of Black Lily Castle. Ciel began to introduce Eve to his loyal subordinates. All of his most loyal subordinates knew with Vonda's experiments, but were still very shocked when he saw the little girl. Other than not having golden irises, the girl was very similar to Ciel.

Not only that, Ciel felt that Eve was similar to a super computer. After the data in the form of learning is inserted into the little girl's head, she will immediately remember it well. Reading, writing, and calculating.

Ciel also taught his daughter to hide the wings and energy emanating from her body. Having quite similar talents, Eve was able to do so. Now she looked like an ordinary cute and adorable girl. But Ciel knows, Eve's ability is so strong that it allows her to compete with Ferdo and Fito.

Yeah ... It was just Ciel's guess. After all, she did not want the little girl who had not been able to control her emotions to use magic blindly and destroy things in the process.

Now Ciel is focused on teaching Eve how to interact with others and also control the power within her. Regarding strength control, the little girl had a development that could be said to be fast.

On the other hand, in terms of communication and socializing Eve did not develop much. Other than Ciel, the girl only wanted to be close to one person. And that person is …

Geck! Geck! Geck!

“Log.”

After Ciel said that, Ariana's figure entered the study. Behind him were two girls in maid clothes carrying trays.

“Time for lunch, Darling.” Ariana then looked towards the little girl reading the book. “You too, Eve.”

Hearing Ariana's words, Eve closed the book in her hand and turned her gaze toward the figure who was talking to her. The girl tilted her head with an innocent expression on her face.

“Mama?”

“En.” Ariana nodded lightly. “It's lunch time. Mama will feed you.”

Ariana's expression looked as usual, but a warm feeling emanated from her. Arguably, he's ‘more alive’ than usual.

Two maids entered the room and placed the lunches of the three men on the table and saluted before leaving. It had been three days since the three of them had lunch together like that.

In addition to Eve only wanting to be close to Ciel and Ariana, it may be the appearance of the little girl that makes many servants think that she is the biological child of the couple. Aside from having Ciel's appearance and strength, the girl had little expression and was somewhat awkward.

Ciel sits opposite Ariana and Eve. Looking towards the two, he let out a long sigh.

If it wasn't for them breathing, eating, and sometimes doing some other things . I suspect these two figures in front of me are puppets.

“Does the food not suit your taste, Darling?” ask Ariana.

Hearing that, Ciel who regained consciousness from his daydream shook his head lightly.

“No. I was just thinking of something.”

“You are okay ... Papa?” ask Eve.

“I'm fine,” said Ciel while giving a gentle smile.

Eve's round eyes blinked. The girl then nodded.

“That's good, Papa.”

“Eat first, we talk later.”

Hearing Ciel's words, the mother and child nodded in agreement.

After lunch was over and taking a short break to digest the food, Ciel looked at Ariana.

“Good.”

Ariana nodded. He then took Eve and was about to leave. Before leaving the room, the little girl waved at Ciel.

“Bye bye, Papa.”

“...”

With a smile on his face, Ciel waved casually. When the door closed and the two figures went away, the young man's expression instantly changed completely. He looked rather haggard and tired.

Since Eve accompanied him after breakfast until lunch, Ciel really had to work. Yes ... The lazy young man was forced to work!

Ciel didn't want to look too bad in front of Eve. Maybe it's a father's feeling or something, he doesn't understand. Knowing that, Camellia actually made use of it to make Ciel work.

Of course not directly, but by relying on Eve. Under the pretext of the child needing her father's affection, Camellia and the others encourage Ciel to take care of Eve from eight to twelve noon.

Four hours ... I have to work seriously for four hours!

Ciel gritted his teeth, looking somewhat reluctant. From lunch to dinner, Ariana is in charge of caring for Eve. The young man was very grateful towards his fiancee.

Imagining if Eve could not get close at all to anyone other than herself, Ciel was a bit pale.

Thank goodness there is Ariana. If not, do I have to work from morning to evening or even night? That ... was really terrible.

In addition to Ariana, Ciel is also grateful that Eve is very obedient. After dinner, Ciel told the girl to go to bed. Not resisting at all, Eve actually did so obediently.

When with Theodore or Jenny, Ciel did not do much at all. Theo is quite independent and already bigger. Although sometimes it does take time with him, it is not every day and not more than an hour or two.

“Being a father ... is really not easy,” muttered Ciel with a depressed expression.

Meanwhile, in the library.

Ariana sat down with Eve. Around them were piles of children's books. He sat down while holding the little girl.

In Ariana's hand, there was a comb. He gently combed through Eve's hair who was engrossed in reading a picture book. The little girl's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

“Mama ... mama .. why is this farmer stupid?” ask Eve in a plain tone.

“What's up, Eve?”

Eve then pointed to a picture of the farmer catching and roasting a goose.

“This farmer is angry at the golden goose for messing up his garden. He who knows the goose lays a golden egg kills the goose to retrieve the egg. Isn't this farmer stupid, Mama?

If it was Eve .. Eve would have caught the golden goose and taken care of it. Eve will make the golden goose happy and lay many eggs. Compared to vegetables in the garden, gold is definitely more expensive. Isn't that right, Mama?”

Hearing the logical words spoken from the little girl's lips, Ariana simply stroked the little guy's head. He felt that little Eve was very similar to Ciel in either appearance or thought. Really smart!

Seeing the dissatisfied expression on the little guy's face, Ariana comforted him.

“It's just a storybook, Eve. No need to think about.”

If anyone else were to see Ariana now, they would definitely be shocked. Because now ...a warm and sincere smile was seen on his face. He even held back a little laughter due to Eve's small mannerisms.

Ariana, Princess Doll ... has really changed a lot!
