The Useless 8th Prince

Really Coincidence?

Next day.

Standing in the study, Ciel stared at the horse carriage that had gone from Black Lily Castle. At that moment, a female voice sounded within the room.

“Are you really going to let it go like that, My Lord?”

Looking at the source of the voice, Ciel saw the figure of Isabella who had just entered the room. The woman was wearing a black noble dress with purple ornaments that were suitable for her.

“Do you think it's better to finish them off and take the evidence for granted?” Instead of answering directly, Ciel asked back with a bored expression on his face.

“...”

Seeing that Isabella was silent, Ciel walked back and sat down on the sofa. He then waved towards the woman. Without a hint of hesitation, Isabella walked over and sat down beside Ciel.

Isabella boldly leaned against Ciel's shoulder before asking with a somewhat confused expression.

“Wouldn't things get complicated if you let go of that person, My Lord?”

“Indeed.” Ciel nodded. “If I only target the Blackscar Family, it is better to finish off the two. However, Zander Fergus is still useful. Since the Astorio Family wants to play around with me .. I also don't mind playing with them.”

Hearing Ciel's words, Isabella was shocked. After thinking about it carefully, the woman asked in a doubtful tone.

“Is ... are you trying to control the Fergus Family. My lord?”

Looking at Isabella who was looking at him with a puzzled and doubtful expression, Ciel softly kissed the woman's lips. He smiled before answering briefly.

“Entah.”

“...”

Isabella could only shut up while listening to that. Although she was also one of Ciel's concubines, the woman knew that her husband and master had difficult thoughts to guess. Completely hidden in the dark.

At the moment when the two were just silent, sharing the warmth in the embrace, the sound of knocking on the door sounded.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

“Log.”

After Ciel said that, the door opened and a beautiful Dark Elf figure entered the room. When he saw her, the woman's body trembled. Ciel who noticed it stared at Isabella.

“You're back first, Isabella.”

Looking towards Elena, Isabella smiled. He then got up from his chair and bowed politely towards Ciel.

“According to your order, Tuanku.”

After Isabella walked out of the room and closed the door tightly, Ciel stood up and walked over to Elena. Looking at the beautiful girl with a cold expression, he walked over and hugged her.

“What's up?” ask Ciel gently.

“...”

Seeing how Elena just kept quiet did not reply, Ciel shook his head lightly. He knew the woman had high self-esteem and looked arrogant on the outside, but was quite fragile on the inside.

“Do you think I forgot the promise I gave you first, Elena?”

“...”

“Sorry to keep you waiting a long time,” whispered Ciel.

Hearing Ciel's whisper, Elena returned the young man's embrace. Drown yourself in his arms. Covering her face so that no one would know.Tears began to flow on her face, making the usually cold and strong woman also have a weak and fragile side.

“Patience in a moment. I'll take the ashes of the entire Blackscar Family members and bring them to meet the mother-in-law as well as sister-in-law.”

“En?”

Elena looks up. Seeing how Ciel smiled gently at him, the heart that had once been frozen began to melt again.

Elena thought Ciel had forgotten everything. But the woman was not angry at all. After all, the figure of his master was also always kind and paying attention to him. Elena thinks and tries to forget the past, focusing on being happy with Ciel.

In Ciel's arms, Elena suddenly thought.

Is ... Is it all a coincidence?

A series of words ‘coincident’ comes to Elena's mind. Ciel went to the Imperial Palace. At the time of fighting, the young man who usually refused to fight suddenly agreed to the challenge. Not just agree, but raise the stakes.

Winning the match, Ciel then captured one of the territories so rich that the equivalent of slapping the face of Duke Astorio directly. From Victor's strife plus the Astorio family's hatred, it was clear the young man would be a target. Therefore, the Astorio Family was looking for information about Ciel.

When they searched for Ciel's information, the Astorio Family must have found information about Elena. After making much preparations, Duke Astorio sent Marquis Fergus and Count Blackscar away to the Blackfield Region.

In Blackfield County, not only did Ciel capture Count Blackscar with ample evidence, he obviously forced Marqusi Fergus into submission before returning him to West Duchy. Equivalent of planting spies to enemies.

Connecting all those ‘coincident’, a surprised expression appeared on Elena's pretty face.

Is this true .. is all a coincidence?

Elena looked up to look at Ciel who was smiling gently at him. At that moment, he felt his heart thump. As if knowing a secret that should be unknown, the woman felt uneasy.

“What's up, Elena?” ask Ciel gently.

No matter if it was true or not, Elena only knew that Ciel had supported her to take revenge.

“Thank you very much, Milord.”

In response, Ciel touched the woman's chin and gently kissed her lips. Not resisting, Elena closed her eyes, giving herself, her soul and body to the person who had kept her promise.

After the kiss, Ciel's voice sounded in Elena's ear.

“Do you know, Elena?” ask Ciel.

“En?”

Hearing Ciel's remark, the beautiful Dark Elf tilted her head with a slightly puzzled expression.

“Not ... is nothing.” As if recalling something, Ciel finally shook his head.

While listening to that, Elena knew that Ciel was hiding something from her. But since the young man did not want to say it, he did not mind either. The woman was convinced that Ciel would never try to harm her.

Seeing how Elena was just burying herself in her arms, Ciel sighed in her heart. The young man had actually accidentally discovered news that could be considered extremely important as well as useless. Recalling something in his mind, he shook his head lightly.

No need to reveal it. We are happy in this place. I think .. that's enough.

Ciel convinced himself in his heart.

After that, Ciel spent his day accompanying Elena. Of course, he would still be having lunch with his daughter on the sidelines of time. Make the little girl not angry and keep looking for her.

... ***

...

Her night.

In one of the dungeon cells, there was a figure of Count Blackscar who had lost two arms and legs. His expression looked pale and haggard, seemingly traumatized by Ciel's cruelty the previous day.

The sound of footsteps resounded in that dark and silent place. Moments later, two figures approached the prison cell with magic lights in their hands.

Seeing the two, Count Blackscar looked up then lowered his head again. That person had completely lost all hope. I don't even care about life and death.

The two people who came were Ciel and Elena. Looking at the figure of Count Blackscar, the body of the beautiful Dark Elf shivered. His eyes emitted a cold glint filled with hatred.

At that moment, Elena felt a soft hand pat her shoulder. Looking up, he saw Ciel smiling at him. The young man then gave a very sharp dagger to himself.

“Ending his suffering,” said Ciel.

Taking the dagger, with a determined expression .. Elena entered the prison cell.
