The Useless 8th Prince

Clark's crazy!

“His death ..” Clark looked blown away. She approached the little Centaur girl to help her stand up while asking, “Are you okay, Little girl?”

“M-Monster ..”

Looking at Clark's figure who was no longer as thin as it used to be, but his body was filled with muscles, height, and quite ferocious appearance (when you ignore the silly expression that occasionally appears on his face) … the little Centaur girl was frightened and crying.

“...”

Clark who wanted to help the little girl instantly fell silent. The hand that was stretched out in the air stopped. He retracted his hand then scratched his head while turning his gaze away.

Seeing that, at first Ciel felt a bit funny, but also felt pity. Outside of the Blackfield Region where everyone knew Clark as one of his subordinates as well as an honorable knight, that person had always been considered a monster.

It's not that Clark's not handsome. Amongst the Dragonborn, he was actually handsome, but ..The Dragonborn race itself was extremely rare. In fact, ordinary people would regard them as mutated Lizardmen.

Ciel came forward and patted the little girl's head gently. The little girl initially tried to avoid it, but somehow the soft palms still touched her head.

“Small girl, don't judge someone by his appearance, okay? Look, the big brother is trying to help you, having absolutely no intention of hurting you.”

“...”

Although somewhat frightened, the little girl already did not have much resistance. He looked at Ciel's figure then towards the other three figures.

“Sorry,” muttered the little girl while lowering her head. Seemed guilty.

“It's okay.” Ciel shook his head lightly. “Are you hungry, little girl? How about lunch with us?”

“It ...” Sniffing scent in the air, the little girl looks wanted but still shakes her head. “Mother says ... Mother says Caca must not accept food from strangers.”

“So your name is Caca?” ask Ciel.

With some hesitation, Caca nodded as he said, “En.”

“That's the food we just cooked and we'll eat. You don't need to worry, we are not bad people at all.”

Hearing how Ciel fooled the little girl, the others refrained from cursing. Not to mention when the young man said ‘not the bad guy’, the three of them wanted to vomit.

If what Ciel had been doing all this time was considered to be entirely good, without any evil .. meant, there was nothing that could be considered evil in their world.

Unlike when the person was, Caca who was innocent looked at Ciel. Looking at the handsome, gentle, and looking figure of a person who did not even dare to slaughter a chicken.

“Good. Caca trusts you, Brother.”

Seeing the gentle smile on Ciel's face, the three comrades immediately exclaimed inwardly.

That person must be thinking of evil things in his head!

The five men ended up eating fish soup made by Ciel. After dividing the soup into bowls, Caca's figure approached Clark timidly.

“What's up, Little girl?” ask Clark. Try to be friendly so that the little girl is not afraid.

“Caca wrong. Caca is sorry. Instead, you can take this fish.”

Clark was stunned when he saw Caca put a piece of fish into his bowl. Looking at the cute girl in front of him, he felt like he was looking at a little angel. The lizard even wanted to cry because it was treated well.

“Clark ..” says Clark briefly.

“Means?” caca asked while tilting her head. Looks kind of confused.

“This older brother's name is Clark. So you can call me Brother Clark,” Clark said.

“Good, Brother Clark!” Knowing that Clark wasn't evil, the little girl smiled innocently.

Cute …

Clark cried out in his heart. At that moment, Ciel's voice sounded.

“Solve your food first before chatting.”

“Good,” answer the others simultaneously.

After lunch together.

“I think there is no Centaur tribe in this forest area, Caca. Where are you from?” ask Ciel kindly.

“There are Centaur tribes in this forest? Did you guys move from somewhere else?”

After recalling a bit long, Caca finally replied, “Kata Ibu .. we moved from afar to this place a few years ago.”

A few years ago? Then ... map given to me? That's obviously information expired!

If Ciel knew there was a Centaur tribe in this forest, he would try to avoid it and choose another route. That was because .. the young man shifted his gaze. Sure enough, the winged lizard looked at him with glittering eyes.

Ever since Clark tried to approach Zenara but continued to be rejected, he seemed depressed and depressed. Occasionally the lizard would go to the slave house to check on the Centaur slaves. He thought, maybe ‘his true love’ is there.

“Clark ..” Mumbled Ciel.

“We must stop by, My Lord! I'm sure .. I'm sure ‘dia’ is there!”

“Dia??” Ferel and Savian looked confused.

“You don't need to know,” said Ciel.

The young man did not want to expose the disgrace of his own subordinates. Better to keep it. Although Clark definitely did not mind, Ciel still did not want the stupid lizard to be insulted and humiliated by others.

Yes ... although he often treated his subordinates badly.

“Clark, you definitely know .. we can't go straight into the Centaur tribe. We have to ask permission, then-”

“Caca ... can the four of us stop by your house?” ask Clark.

Caca who was drinking fruit juice was a bit confused. Tilting her head as if she was thinking of something, the little girl nodded lightly.

“Should have. But, Caca will ask Mom first. Maybe tomorrow morning?” The little girl tilted her head somewhat confusedly.

Meanwhile, Ciel looked at Clark who was looking at him while giving a thumbs up.

“We can do it, Mister!”

“...”

The corner of Ciel's lips twitched. In the end, the young man let out a long sigh before replying, “As far as you.”

After lunch, Ciel and his colleagues answered various curious questions. The little girl seemed very curious about the outside world. Of course, Ciel also warned him to be careful of strangers.

Not all strangers are as good as them. It is possible, there are hunters who will sell Centaurs into slaves or other types of criminals.

When given advice by Ciel, little Caca nodded like a woodpecker. By late afternoon, Caca said goodbye to go home and asked for permission. Clark initially wanted to follow him, but Ciel resolutely refused.

Although strong, as a guest, at least.

The next morning.

“Eat breakfast first, Clark. They will arrive at most noon.”

“But Tuan-”

“Shut! Look at your face, you're really not sleeping because you're excited. You look messy! Wash your face then breakfast.”

“Good.”

After breakfast, they packed the tent. Finished packing, Ciel was somewhat surprised when he saw little Caca coming with two Centaurs who looked like tribal fighters.

Ciel immediately exchanged greetings with them, giving an excuse to come to the tribe and giving sincerity in the form of some useful objects to the two of them. Finally, the young man and his comrades went to the Centaur tribe quietly. Of course, in order not to make the people in the tribe panic, Ciel did not bring Deschia or the giant Pelican.

When it was almost noon, they finally reached the Centaur tribe.

Getting there, even Ciel, Ferel, and Savian were a bit surprised. That was because the women in the Centaur tribe looked beautiful. Really like slaves with high standards, unlike Centaurs in general.

Seeing the Centaur beauty was everywhere, Clark could not help but exclaim.

“This ... This is the place I've been looking for!”
