The Useless 8th Prince

This Wine is Not Bad

Some time later, in a forest not too far from the mentioned village.

“Why should we stop here, Mister?”

Hearing Clark who asked doubtfully, Ciel let out a short sigh then looked at his two Demonic Beasts.

“Deschia and the giant Pelican must hide in the forest first.”

“Why?” Clark tilted his head with a silly expression.

“Don't you see how people are shivering in fear in Green Oak City? I don't want to make an unnecessary fuss. Do it casually and calmly .. it is better.”

“Isn't it better to show up like that, Prince Ciel? If I were you, I would always come up with that style. Looks domineering ... surprised many people.” Ferel closed his eyes, imagining that he was Ciel.

“I think Prince Luciel is right. Although not the heir to the head of the Raevern Family, as the son of the Duke, I was also treated excessively, and Savian shook his head lightly.

The forest they landed in was a small forest with relatively rare trees. That was why, there was no Demonic Beast figure in sight. Even if there were, it would at most be at level 1 or 2. The presence of Deschia and the giant Pelican had frightened them.

“Then we go.”

“Good,” answer the three people simultaneously.

From the inside, Ciel and the other three men went towards the forest edge area. At that moment, they stopped when they heard a gurgling sound from the bush. The voice was very faint, but the weakest Savian could even hear it.

“Clark ..” Ciel says cold.

Hearing Ciel's words, Clark immediately picked up his spear. Rushing forward without hesitation, it even looked quite careless. Seeing that made Ciel and the other two shake their heads lightly.

Clark too underestimated his opponent. In fact, a lion had to hunt a rabbit with all his might. Looking at the winged lizard's back, Ciel silently decided.

I'll train Clark harder after he gets back.

Not knowing what kind of training would await his return, Clark still looked a bit overbearing when smashing the bush with his spear. When some plants were removed, the scenery behind it made Ciel and the others somewhat astonished.

There was a beautiful woman in rough clothes who was cowering in fear. Without waiting for Ciel to rule, Clark who had no respect for beauty aside from the Centaur race instantly dragged the woman and brought her closer to Ciel.

“No! Nah! Please ... Please let me go!”

“Let him go, Clark.”

Hearing Ciel's orders, Clark casually let go of the woman. After being noticed, the woman looked rather attractive. Brownish skin, convex front and back, plus a beautiful face and plain typical village women.

“Are you a citizen of a village around here?”

Without waiting for an answer Ciel actually knew. The woman was a nearby villager. From the small basket in his hand containing some fruits, vegetables, and wild mushrooms could also explain more details about the situation.

“T-Please ... please don't hurt me ..”

The woman covered her chest with both hands, curled up with a terrified expression. Even his eyes seemed to be starting to fog.

Feeling treated like a thug who likes to kidnap and treat women badly, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched.

“S-I'm married. S-I .. I am no longer clean. Nobles like gentlemen will definitely not like my dirty body.”

“...”

Seeing how the woman started to chirp indistinctly out of fear, Ciel frowned. He then looked at the three people by his side.

Clark looked dreamy with an empty face. Savian seemed not very interested. While Ferel ... the stocky really put on a suspicious face. It made Ciel feel depressed.

“Don't put on such a disgusting face, Ferel! Also, you ..” Ciel looked at the woman sitting on the ground with a cold expression. “We have absolutely no interest in doing the things you are thinking about. Just take us to the village, then you can go.”

“Really???” The woman looked at Ciel and the three others doubtfully.

“If you want to do it, indeed you can refuse?” Ciel said indifferently. “Even you don't have the strength to stand. No more than meat ready to eat.”

Hearing Ciel's words, the woman looked down embarrassed. What the young man in front of him said was indeed true. It was not that he did not want to escape, but out of fear, the woman could not even stand up.

The figure of the Lizardmen behind him made the woman extremely frightened. Not only that, he felt that the handsome figure of Luciel who seemed to be the weakest (for not being able to sense the aura emanating from him) was the leader of the three. In other words, the most dangerous figure!

“A-Are you royalty, Mister?”

“Whether I'm royalty or not, it doesn't matter. Your job is to take us to the village. Better not to be too curious.” Ciel said in an indifferent tone.

Seeing how Ciel and a few others really had no intention of doing anything bad, the woman heaved a sigh of relief. With a somewhat embarrassed expression, he finally said.

“S-I don't mind, Sir. But ... can you wait a minute?”

“Why?” Ciel raised his eyebrows.

“S-I can't move my legs.”

“...”

The place instantly became quiet.

BRUAK!!!

In an old and somewhat dilapidated wooden house on the edge of the village, there appeared a thin male figure that was thrown and then smashed tables and chairs. Not far from there, there was a figure of four people in knight clothes. Other than them, there was a stocky man in noble clothes who had a haughty expression on his face.

“I told you, Ralph. You must pay your debt immediately. If you don't want your little life to disappear and your ramshackle farm taken back, you should pay it off immediately!”

“How can we pay it off when our harvest and sales decline, while you keep raising interest! You've abused your power, Boris!”

“Supply! Insects like you really dare to call the name of this noble one.” Boris snorted coldly. “What are you waiting for? Should I rule this and it's kinda you guys understand!”

Hearing the angry Boris, the four knights immediately approached Ralph then beat the skinny man to black and blue. Seeing how Ralph could not get up, a cold voice came back.

“Enough. This insect ... give him the opportunity to pay his debt.”

“Stop!”

At that moment, a female figure entered the house then rushed towards Ralph who was lying on the floor with his body covered in blood.

“Sayang .. are you okay, Darling?” asked the woman with a worried expression.

“Why do you stay back after seeing the commotion. You should come back later, Catherine.”

Staring at Catherine's figure, Boris's eyes twinkled. He then snorted coldly.

“Your husband has a lot of debt. If we do not pay, we are forced to take his life and reclaim his property. But ...” Boris looked at Catherine's body and licked his lips. “If you want to work in the castle as a maid, I don't mind giving leniency to your husband.”

“Me-”

Before speaking, Ralph's angry voice sounded.

“Don't mind the guy's words, Catherine. Don't think I don't know what you want all this time, BORIS!!!”

“This bug!”

Boris gritted his teeth as he looked at Ralph with killing intent. Before he gave the order, another voice sounded from outside the house.

“What is this? Looks pretty crowded?”

Ferel's careless voice sounded. A short while later, three figures entered the house. They are Ferel, Savian, and Clark. Boris who was looking at them was about to say something, but just then the sweet and soft aroma of wine smelled. Everyone immediately looked to the source.

Near the shelf containing several bottles of wine, the figure of a handsome young man leaned against the shelf. No one knew when he had come, it seemed to just appear. The handsome young man poured wine into a small cup then took a sip.

Ignoring everyone's gaze, he closed his eyes then nodded lightly.

“This egg ... is not bad at all.”
