The Useless 8th Prince
Too Vain!
After a loud explosion and a puff of smoke vanished, a quite surprising sighting was seen.
There was no big hole or terrible mess. In the middle of the arena, Emperor Julius raised his right hand. The previously ferocious-looking lightning strike completely vanished in the man's hands.
Even so, Emperor Julius was shocked when he saw the impact of the attack that destroyed his Undestroyable Barrier. The man had to activate his Domain, Endless Shadow Storm, to eliminate all the impact from his son's attack.
In addition, Emperor Julius saw the right arm of his clothes completely torn apart. Clean white hands can still be seen. However, at the tip of his index finger, a small wound like being accidentally sliced by a knife could be seen.
Seeing that small wound, Emperor Julius was completely stunned.
“Truly amazing,” murmured the man.
Emperor Julius then looked at Luciel who was lying on the edge of the arena panting. Looks exhausted from carrying out such powerful attacks in succession.
Walking towards Ciel, Emperor Julius stopped right in front of the young man.
“Luciel Dawnbringer, 8th Prince of the Black Sun Empire. With that kind of power, that kind of talent, and your achievements in seclusion …
Do you want to go back to the Royal Capital, then assume the duties as the Crown Prince and the next leader of the Black Sun Empire?”
“...”
Hearing the words of Emperor Julius, the Three Queens as well as their sons and daughters looked surprised. Queen Victoria's party wanted to file a protest, but only kept quiet because there was nothing bad to say about Ciel except her embarrassment.
Compared to other Princes both in talent, ability, and way of thinking .. Ciel is indeed superior to others.
Everyone looked towards Ciel, preparing to see the moment how the next Crown Prince was appointed, but …
“Are you in a daze from being struck by lightning, Ayahanda? Of course I refuse such a troublesome position!!”
“...”
The wind blows softly. The entire arena looked so quiet. From the entire history of the continent, many stories of power struggles were probably countless. While the figure who refused because he felt inappropriate, there were some.
The story of how a prince rejected the throne and said his father became a fool for being struck by lightning …
The Queens, Princesses, and Princes had only heard of it this one time!
Seeing how his lazy and unreliable son was cursing himself, the corner of Emperor Julius' lips twitched. I want to be angry, but I can't. In the end, the man only let out a long sigh.
“Then what do you want to do?”
“Go help mother-in-law, return home then live a relaxed and happy life in a remote place without having to take care of many things.”
“...”
Emperor Julius who initially tried to support his son's dreams and ideals fell silent immediately. The corners of his lips twitched. It was very unexpected that his son actually had unreliable ideals.
“You're kidding right .. Luciel?”
Seeing Ciel's serious gaze that was full of determination to live while lazing around, inexplicably Emperor Julius felt depressed. Not only the man, even the other Queens and Princes were depressed as well.
How not?
When the others tried their hardest, the lazy Prince chose to throw away his talent and live as a useless person. Though, he had an extraordinary talent that could possibly develop the Black Sun Empire to a higher level and echo his name to the entire continent. However …
The lazy prince actually chose a warm bed rather than what he should have been able to accomplish.
For others ...it is unbearable!
Seeing the ugly expressions on the faces of the people, Ciel smiled in satisfaction. He closed his eyes. Other than being somewhat tired, he felt quite bored and sleepy. But just as the young man was about to go to dreamland, he saw a shadow cast on his face.
Opening her eyes, Ciel saw the smiling figure of Queen Lilith with ‘soft and affectionate’.
“Delay, I-”
Before Ciel could finish her speech, Queen Lilith had already pulled the collar behind her neck and carried the young man away from the training ground.
...***
...
Looking at her mother who did not even allow herself to eat, Ciel smiled bitterly.
“Are you still hiding something from mom, Ciel?”
“I have told you, Mother ... I do not hide anything.”
“Then how do you appear suddenly and become a level 6 demon (early) then try to bury one family along with the arena with magic that is ‘boom’, ‘blar’, or something like that! Have you gone mad!
Why don't you even know you're already at level 6! When Queen Victoria and Queen Margaret looked at me and I stared blankly …
That's really embarrassing! So explain, why don't you know!”
Looking at her mother who was nagging in a rather funny way, Ciel found it quite interesting. He did not expect that his mother who was ‘ kindly’ really had a side like this. But after hearing the advice like a boundless bullet pointed at him, the young man started to break out in cold sweat on his back.
Could it be that mom wanted to lecture me for seven days and seven nights? That's overkill, right?
Staring at his mother who was constantly protesting, Ciel suddenly raised his hand.
“Can I explain it briefly, Mother?” ask Ciel.
“Then explain!”
“Actually this is a trivial matter.” Ciel took a long breath. “Isn't it because Mother, Father, Brother, or Lilia didn't ask?”
“...”
The study room was quiet. The corner of Queen Lilith's lips twitched. The woman immediately got up from her chair. She walked towards Ara Ciel while rolling up her dress sleeves.
At that moment, Lilia also stood up and held onto her mother from behind.
“Quiet Mother ... Calm ..” said Lilia in a panicked tone.
“This boy .. I'm really going to hit this kid on the head and wake him up! His brain must have been damaged from just thinking about bed and snacks!”
Looking at the drama played by his mother, younger brother and younger sister, Alexander found it interesting. He felt warm because this kind of incident had not been seen for a long time. In his memory, it was all similar to what happened when the young Ciel began to frequently disappear and ditch hours of study or practice.
As if thinking of something, Alexander who was smiling suddenly asked.
“Ciel, I know that last magic is one of the most difficult magic from the special library of the Dawnbringer Family. As for the previous magic .. I don't know.
Where did you learn that, Ciel?”
Hearing Alexander's question, the room went back to silence. Queen Lilith and Lilia also looked towards Ciel fixedly. After all, rather than powerful magic, women would rather see beautiful magic.
Ciel who was listening to it replied in a bored and reckless tone.
“Because it doesn't really fit into almost any sword technique, I chose one that is relaxed, light, and rather concise. At that moment .. I thought of a powerful combination of swordsmanship and magic that suited me.
Combining sword techniques A and magic B, mixing stir. That's how Sen no Hana was made.”
“...”
Hearing how Ciel answered recklessly, Mother and her brothers fell silent. They looked at him with complicated expressions. Even Queen Lilith complained in her heart.
This little B-son ... couldn't you say it a little seriously? Normally strong moves require very long research, maybe decades!
Making that kind of move just out of boredom? Aren't you afraid of being cursed by other inventors of magic and swordsmanship?
Seeing the drowsy and bored expression on her son's face, the confused Queen Lilith had to cry or laugh.
If only the nature of the malasnya can be reduced a little .. yes, just a little …
Shaking lightly, Queen Lilith let out a long sigh.
This is too futile!
