The Useless 8th Prince
Green Oak City
Two weeks later.
Heading to the Natrace Kingdom at full speed, Ciel and the other three men reached the border in just two weeks. That could be because they use airways.
Ciel told Clark to leave his mount first. The young man told the man to ride on the back of a giant pelican. While Ciel, of course he will be with Deschia.
“Can't we be more relaxed, Mister?”
While resting in the border forest, Clark who finished setting up the tent said to Ciel who was sitting by the campfire.
“Why? Are you guys exhausted?” ciel asked with an indifferent expression.
“Not so. However, we are too fast ..”
“Clark right, Prince Luciel. Today is the 8th day of spring. The party will be held more than five weeks later, almost six weeks later.
At this speed, we will reach the Royal Capital of Natrace in two weeks. Although it's okay, I think being there a month before the party is a bit .. too early.”
Savian explained softly. He walked closer to the campfire with Ferel. The two had just finished setting up their tents.
If using a horse carriage plus stopping a few times, they will arrive about three days before the party. He himself did not expect Ciel's figure to have any other air mounts besides Deschia. It could also see the difference in speed between land and air travel.
Merely, a giant pelican-like creature capable of holding a few people on its back was extremely rare. Even if there was, conquering such a creature was not easy for most people to do.
“So so ..” muttered Ciel with a relaxed expression. “There's suggestion?”
Ferel raised his hand before explaining.
“How to maintain this speed and stop by the city where the Marquis's classy nobles are located. Usually it is a pretty big city and quite a lot of entertainment there.”
Hearing the word ‘holiday’, Ciel's expression did not look good at all. He looked at Ferel with a cold expression. At that very instant, Savian's voice sounded.
“How about going to Green Oak City?”
“Green Oak City?” Ciel looked curious.
“Isn't it just a city in Baron's possession? It must be just a small town .. Better we pass through it and go to a bigger city.”
“There is a quite famous traditional winemaker. Defended from generation to generation. Are you interested, Prince Luciel?”
“Oh?” Ciel looked at Savian with a smile on his face. “How about it feels?”
“While not as good as the Jadewine Family's, I hear .. there are special flavors that make it different from other wines. Maybe, not bad?”
“Then we will go to Green Oak City.”
Seeing that the other three people agreed, Ferel could only let out a long sigh.
Three days later.
Since Green Oak City was not too far from the border region, Ciel and the others were finally close to arriving.
Looking at the not-so-big city from above, Ciel nodded lightly. Worthy of his nickname, even such a border region was also extremely fertile. Though not one of the places to produce staple materials for the people of the Natrace Kingdom.
“I told you, Prince Ciel. It's just a small town. No need to be too noticed.”
Ferel's voice rang out, but Ciel ignored him. He was even a little impatient to taste the wine typical of the area.
Meanwhile, on the city wall.
The knights looked panicked.
“Two high-level Demonic Beasts are approaching! One of them is shaped like Wyvern, but with black color. As for the others ... that, the Giant Pelican! Take your weapons up!
Some people, you report to the Baron immediately! City in great danger!”
“T-But ... It looks like I saw the person sitting on the backs of the two creatures, Sir!” One of the knights said doubtfully.
“Are you stupid? How could anyone sit on the back of a Demonic Beast that strong! The giant pelican could already cause trouble when it went berserk.
Not to mention that black Wyvern ... it is a Demonic Beast level 4 (end)!”
Listening to the leader being angry, the knight could only keep his mouth shut. I really don't dare to comment much.
“Please relax, residents of Green Oak City. My master only stopped by for a moment in your city. Absolutely no ill intentions from our side.”
The knights saw the figure of a humanoid lizard standing on the back of a giant pelican. They were initially a bit confused, but sensing the strength of a level 4 (end) demon that was even stronger than their master, those people looked astonished.
They then stared at the figure of the captain who now looked somewhat embarrassed.
Two Demonic Beasts descended in front of the city gate. The knights standing on the city walls looked shocked, amazed, and speechless.
“Aw invitation from your King. I'm Luciel Dawnbringer. The 8th Prince of the Black Sun Empire.”
Hearing Ciel's calm and indifferent speech, many people looked at each other.
“Did I not hear wrong? Prince?”
“Not only Prince ... but Prince of the Black Sun Empire!”
“Feel the aura ... too strong. I don't even know which level they are at!”
“...”
Many people started to whisper to each other with confused and shocked expressions. At that moment, the voice of the knight captain sounded.
“Greet our guest, Your Excellency Luciel of the Black Sun Empire!”
Unlike the little knights who knew nothing, the knight captain had heard news from his senior working under a Marquis. The figure before him was a demon that was truly very famous in the Black Sun Empire and the surrounding kingdoms.
Young, talented, strong, and ruthless. Many people call it the Marquis of Blackfield, and its real name is .. Luciel Dawnbringer.
I can't figure out the level. Probably more than level 5. Coupled with that black Wyvern .. unmistakably, he was that famous Marquis of Blackfield!
Following his words, the knights saluted.
“Honor to His Majesty Luciel!!!”
Ignoring the others, Ciel looked at the captain before saying.
“Wine Golden Dew ... where can I get that wine?”
Hearing the casual question spoken from Ciel's mouth, the knights looked puzzled. Meanwhile, the captain who was asked a question looked extremely nervous.
“M-Excuse this useless slave, His Eminence Luciel. Wine of that type ... no longer exist in this city.”
“What do you mean by that?” ciel asked with an indifferent expression.
“I-It .. That kind of wine is no longer produced. J-If ... if you want, there may still be some at the source.”
“Si winemaker? Where can I find him?”
“D-Dia .. she is in a small village west of Green Oak City, Her Highness Luciel.”
“...”
Not saying anything, Ciel patted Deschia on the back. A black Wyvern figure rose into the sky followed by a giant Pelican figure. Moments later, the two creatures flew away.
The knight captain instantly threw himself to the ground. He looked pale and nervous.
“Are you okay, Captain?” One of the knights asked.
“Can't you see it for yourself! I'm not okay!”
“But Captain ..”
“What's up!”
“In that village right ..”
As if realizing something, the expression of the knight captain became even paler. He immediately gave the order.
“Reply report this to Baron! Fast!”
