The Useless 8th Prince
Bad News from the South
Three days later.
In the backyard of Black Lily Castle, Ciel sat while enjoying wine while staring at the yellowing leaves. Sensing a gust of wind, the young man closed his eyes.
At that moment, Ciel heard a hurried leg sound. Opening his eyes, he saw several knights in the shadow division immediately approaching the young man then kneeling in front of him.
“This branch is coming to report, Tuanku.”
Looking at the five knights, Ciel said with a relaxed expression.
“Build.”
Hearing the orders from Ciel, the five knights instantly got up. They know that their master is not a person who likes to beat around the bush.
“What's up? Looks like you guys are in such a hurry.” Ciel said in a lazy tone.
“Tuanku ..”
One of the knights advanced while giving the scroll. Ciel immediately accepted the scroll and read it. Some time after reading, the young man's expression became serious.
“You said, the entire area south of the Black Lily Region bordering the Blackwood Forest received an attack from the waves of ferocious beasts. Not one or two .. but all?”
“True, Milord. According to the reports received, Demonic Beasts especially in the outer circle started running out of Blackwood Forest.”
“...”
Ciel looked straight at. According to reports, such an incident could not have happened due to the actions of the opposing forces. Although it was quite possible to create a wave of Demonic Beasts within an area, to make it happen simultaneously was almost impossible. There was still another way, which was to deploy a row of elite knights to mess up the Blackwood Forest.
Only, Ciel knew it was impossible for a country to want to collide with a small territory like his with the risk of being discovered by the Black Sun Empire and starting a war. So according to the conclusion, there are some things that might cause it to happen.
First, due to natural disasters. However since the Frozen Cloud Mountains was not an active volcano, it was almost impossible for such a thing to happen. While tectonic earthquakes, hurricanes, or violent storms.
So Ciel immediately concluded, it must be because of the actions of a group of stronger animals. If it was because one Demonic Beast was powerful, it would be impossible for it to be a wave of ferocious beasts in various places at the same time.
Ciel stroked his chin. Creatures that are in the inner circle of the Blackwood Forest usually prefer to be alone. So he immediately thought of some powerful beings that lived in groups around the Black Lily Region.
Frost Wyvern …
The name immediately crossed Ciel's mind. The Frost Wyverns usually lived in groups, but they still fell into the category of powerful beings.
“Evacuation of residents in border villages. Employ as many local knights as possible to stand guard at the border of the Blackwood Forest. I don't know until when this wave is over, but …
Being around that place was extremely dangerous for ordinary people. Although it is still early autumn, I do not want many citizens dead or injured because of this.”
Seeing the five people seem doubtful, Ciel shook his head lightly.
“Solving problems with the abilities of local knights and warriors is impossible. Back is a better choice. Also …
I'll go there myself.”
Hearing Ciel's words, the five people became nervous. The people in the shadow division clearly knew how their master was. Unless the problem falls into the category ‘ can not be handled’, the lazy prince prefers to lie on his bed.
“According to your order, Milord!” exclaim the five knights with a respectful expression.
“Go!” ciel said coldly.
“Good!”
Seeing the knights leave, Ciel let out a long sigh. He then returns to Black Lily Castle, deciding to explain to his fiancee, concubine, and daughter that he must leave again.
After dinner, in the family room.
“No!”
Little Eve hugged Ciel's feet, looking up as she looked at the young man with her round eyes.
“This is urgent, Eve. Papa has to take care of this. If postponed, Papa is afraid that the incident will have a big impact on the border area.”
“T-But Papa just came home a few days!” said Eve with a teary face.
Feeling unbearable, Ciel lifted the little girl up and hugged her. She held little Eve while walking around the living room.
“Papa promise, it won't be long. When you're done, Papa will be back soon. Then, we will go to meet Grandpa and Grandma.”
Hearing Ciel's words, little Eve squeezed the clothes of her father with a dissatisfied face. But the little girl no longer looked as stubborn as before. Moments after thinking, she muttered, “Janji?”
“En.” Ciel nodded gently. “Appointments.”
“Then tonight Eve wants to sleep with Papa and Mama!” eve said with a serious expression.
The girl heard that usually the child her age is still sleeping with her father and mother. But Eve also knows that she is a good girl who can sleep and do many things herself. Yes, even if that's what her father said.
This time Eve also wanted to be pampered like the other children. After all, he missed his father very much. His father was usually very kind to him, but often went missing just like that. The little girl was very dissatisfied with it.
“Good.” Ciel nodded lightly. “Later you and Mama you slept together in Papa.”'s room
“Really???” ask Eve with wide eyes.
“Of course true.”
“Eve dear Papa!”
“Papa also dear Eve.”
Looking at the already calm little girl in his arms, Ciel felt relieved. The young man did not expect that taking care of a small child would be that difficult. Not difficult, but rather complicated. Sometimes, trivial things can also make a child calm down.
Seeing the fiancee and the concubines staring at him with a smoldering look, Ciel smiled wryly. He wanted to do so, but refrained before turning 18.
In a minute, Ciel. In a moment .. You must be patient.

...
Next morning.
In a clean and spacious cage, Ciel approached the black Wyvern figure. Seeing the young man coming, the creature got up and rushed towards him. The Black Wyvern then rubbed his head against Ciel's body.
Seeing Deschia's behavior, Ciel rubbed Wyvern's head with a smile on his mouth.
“It looks like we have to go to your hometown to take care of some things, Deschia.”
Hearing Ciel's words, the creature tilted its head. Staring at the pamuda with a confused expression.
“It seems that the Frost Wyverns of the Frozen Cloud Mountains are trying to create trouble in my territory. So we'll go to take care of them.”
Deschia looked at Ciel then nodded. Although not very smart, the creature still had enough intelligence to understand some of Ciel's speech.
“Congratulations, Deschia .. You have risen to level 5 (early), so we will try how fast you are now.”
Hearing Ciel's praise, the creature looked satisfied. He looked at his master with an impatient expression. Waiting for Ciel to put on a saddle then go up to his back.
Some time later.
Riding onto Black Wyvern's back, Ciel patted the creature's scales gently.
“We leave. Deschia!”
