The Useless 8th Prince
Three Attacks
“Luciel, you ..”
Seeing Ciel's sincere smile, Emperor Julius let out a long sigh.
“Not that I don't appreciate your determination, Luciel. However ... I still cannot allow you to go to the Black Star Kingdom to commit suicide.”
“Why?”
“Because your death percentage if it goes beyond 50%. Moreover, as the father and Emperor of the Black Sun Empire, I cannot allow the child as well as the future of the empire to die in such a place.”
“I'm definitely back alive.”
“Are you 100% sure that you can return safely?”
“It ...” Ciel looks dull. After giving it some thought, he said in a determined tone. “As long as an old man named Will, the chairman, or vice-chairman of Curses of Shadow is not there .. I am sure it will be safe.”
“You ..”
“I beg you, Ayahanda!” ciel said with a determined expression.
Seeing his son up to such an extent, Emperor Julius let out a long sigh. He did not expect that the boy who had previously been difficult to even get off his bed was willing to go to another Kingdom to help.
“Three ..” said Emperor Julius. “I allow you to attack with your three best attacks. As long as you can hurt me .. I will allow you to go to the Black Star Kingdom.”
Seeing that his father was willing to tolerate it, Ciel nodded.
“Good.”
“Time is tomorrow morning. Rest well today. Make sure it is in the most optimal condition. For its location ... in a special training arena within the palace.”
“Good.”
Looking towards his son, Emperor Julius shook his head lightly.
“You can go.”
Ciel got up and saluted before leaving the room.
Looking at the back of his son, Emperor Julius leaned against the chair and closed his eyes. After a while, the man could only let out a long sigh.
...***...
At night, in the guest room.
In the room, there was only Ciel and Eoran. The lazy prince from the Empire looked towards the disabled man with a blank expression on his face.
“You look pathetic, Prince Eoran. Yes ... maybe that's what you deserve.”
“...”
Seeing that Eoran was silent, Ciel shook his head with an indifferent expression on his face.
“While you are trash and deserve it, you should be grateful to be alive. I am thankful that I still have a chance to live.
Besides ... You should do your best. I don't know what Felice looks like, but I'm sure he's a good wife.
Can't you get to this place because of her? So ... I hope you don't disappoint her by being a trash who doesn't even have life motivation.”
“...”
Although still silent and staring blankly, Eoran's left hand clenched tightly when he heard Felice's name mentioned.
Seeing that, Ciel turned around leaving the room with an indifferent expression.
“You better remember what I said.”
Before leaving the room, Ciel said that.
Closing the door of the room, Ciel who came out of the room saw the figure of Sheera leaning against the wall outside the room where Eoran was.
“Did you hear everything?” ask Ciel.
“...”
Hearing Ciel's words, Sheera nodded.
“Then, you should know that the Kingdom of Black Star may no longer be saved.”
“...”
“...”
After saying that, Ciel left Sheera who was cowering alone. The girl could only sob softly, but could do nothing and could not blame anyone.
Returning to his room, Ciel was followed by someone. Before entering the room, he saw the figure of Ariana following him in silence.
“Log in. I'll talk about everything,” said Ciel.
“Good.”
Ariana nodded lightly. The girl wore a fake smile expression as usual. He was ready for what Ciel was going to say.
When Ariana walked into Ciel's room, the girl was shocked when the prince's figure hugged her tightly.
“I'm sorry, Ariana.”
Hearing that, Ariana's heart was moved. The girl breathed in her heart. Smiling gently, he returned Ciel's embrace while stroking the handsome young man's back.
“It's okay. It's okay, Prince Luciel. I. .. I am very happy and happy during my time at Black Lily Castle with you and others.
Thank ye. Thanks for everything.”
“Sorry .. I can't take everything into account. Had I known Louie had a moveable heart, I shouldn't have let her go back then.
I can't turn back time. However ... I will go to the Black Star Kingdom to help. If you can't, at least ... at least I'll bring your mother here by force.”
“Eh??” Hearing Ciel blaming herself, Ariana was shocked.
The girl suddenly recalled the figure of Louie, the son of Duke Zevirrius. Almost similar to Ciel, that person had always been avoided by the other nobles. Not only humiliated like Ciel, even sometimes there are still dare to harass the young man.
Given the great hatred that Louie should have endured, who had been silent all along, Ariana let out a long sigh.
“That's not your fault at all, dear. Even if you take out Louie by then, the Curses of Shadow will definitely choose another chess piece. After all ...many don't like my Dad because of his cruelty.
In addition ... you do not need to go to the Black Star Kingdom. Emperor Julius would not agree. Also ... I don't mind if you break off our engagement.
You don't have to bear this burden. I-”
“Quite, Ariana.”
“...”
Feeling Ciel's embrace tightened, Ariana just kept quiet.
“So far you have tried your best. You have fought with all your might. So ... You can leave the rest to me. Besides, you're my fiancee, right?”
“...”
Hearing Ciel's soft words, Ariana lowered her head. The girl buried her face in the arms of her fiance. Tears flowed down his face, evaporating the feeling that had been held back all this time.
...***...
Next day.
In the training arena, there appeared the figure of Emperor Julius who had been standing there with an indifferent expression. Around the arena there were absolutely no spectators from outside. There are only a few people who are family.
They were the three wives and children of Emperor Julius. Not even the husband or wife of Emperor Julius' son should come to watch. Ariana and Isabella were not allowed to come either.
Outside the Arena building, many elite knights of the Black Sun Empire were on guard to prevent someone from entering. If caught trying to breach, that person would be killed on the spot. It did not matter whether they were ordinary people or nobles.
Emperor Julius looked in a certain direction. Shortly after, footsteps were heard.
Moments later, Ciel's figure entered the arena in a black suit and katana on the left and right sides of her waist. The whole family was shocked by Ciel's appearance because of …
Rather than his usual bored and frivolous appearance, the young man looked so cold and solemn!
“Finally you arrived, Luciel.”
Seeing Luciel's serious expression, Emperor Julius nodded.
“As I said earlier ... I will judge you in three strikes."
In response, Ciel immediately saluted the nobleman before pulling the two katanas from his waist. He then looked towards Emperor Julius.
“8th Prince of the Black Sun Empire, Luciel Dawnbringer. Kindly guidance!”
