The Useless 8th Prince
I've Got to Get it!
In the palace where Duke Rowley is located.
“Actually who The Doom Knight is!”
An angry voice sounded in the study room. The masculine male figure who seemed to be in his mid-thirties was rummaging through books, papers, and many things in the study room. He looks angry about something.
“Calm down, Duke Rowley.”
The wise man's voice sounded. The figure of an old man roughly the same age as Count Griswold entered the study room while calming Duke Rowley down. The man looked quite thin and did not fit into the red magician robe that looked big and full of gold and jewels.
“But, Mr. Mival ... within a month and a half the man had completely conquered almost all the territory in Rowley’s Duchy. According to the information, that person and the troops he brought would arrive in less than three days!”
The old man named Mival nodded. He understood what Duke Rowley was feeling. The old man himself was actually also very surprised. It was unexpected that there was a powerful figure who conquered seven Regions in one month, even bringing an army to besiege half a month later.
As one of the Generals of the Curses of Shadow, Mival himself had also met some figures who were so extraordinary. It's just that some of them were still killed, but he wasn't.
Face everything with full planning, retreat if you can't win.
That was how the Mival had survived to this extent. Although he was not considered strong among the Generals, he was still counted for his intelligence and patience. The old man also liked to prepare and make some tricks to annoy opponents.
“I'm also kind of surprised, actually who The Doom Knight is. According to the information I got from Senior Will, the Black Sun Empire did not move because he was holding them back.”
“Can't Mr Will help us, Mr Mival?” duke Rowley asked in a somewhat dispirited tone.
Hearing that, Mival shook his head lightly.
“No. Senior Will has a task of his own. Even if he has no duties, Senior Will will not interfere with what should not be his business.”
“Ugh ..” Duke Rowley looked depressed.
“Even if Senior Will does not help, we will still win this war.”
“How are you so sure, Mr Mival?” Duke Rowley asked in surprise.
“Do you think, as one of the Generals of Curses of Shadow, I don't have a secret card?”
Hearing Mival's remark, Duke Rowley who initially looked haggard became even more excited. He clearly knew how strong the old man called Mival was.
The old man was still a little better than himself!
Not to mention the hidden trump card. That made Duke Rowley's confidence rise again. He was also convinced, what was considered a trump card by the General of the Curses of Shadow was definitely not simple.
Looking towards Mival, Duke Rowley again said.
“Then we have to prepare ourselves. The troops brought by Marquis Cathloy have also arrived.”
Hearing what Duke Rowley said, Mival nodded lightly. But the old man's eyes flashed with a strange light, seemingly keeping something secret from Duke Rowley.

...
Three days later.
Ciel who came with over a hundred thousand soldiers stared at a very powerful city in the distance. It was not as big as the city where the dukes of the Black Sun Empire were located, but it was still larger than his Black Lily City.
Above the city walls, the knights who were preparing with their arrows looked nervous. How not, the number of enemy troops that besieged several times more than their own troops.
At that moment a figure of an old man wearing a red magic robe descended from the sky riding a red bird with a wingspan of over seven meters. The old man advanced towards Ciel and the others before saying.
“Include, I am a Mival! One of the Generals of the Curses of Shadow! Mr Doom Knight, please show yourself!” exclaim Mival with a wise voice.
Hearing that, Ciel who was riding on the Dark Unicorn clearly looked conspicuous. He wore a black mask and robe, so no one recognized him except for the few nobles he had met personally.
At that moment, Ciel spurred his horse forward. He was actually lazy, but everyone looked at him with a smoldering look. It really made the young man feel uncomfortable.
“...”
Seeing Ciel's figure who was just silent, Mival nodded. The old man looked very satisfied.
“Dear Lord Doom Knight. Rowley’s this narrow Duchy is not at all suitable for you. Join our Curses of Shadow!
We will give you a bigger stage to show yourself to the world! In addition, with your strength .. you will definitely quickly get the promotion to become one of the Generals like me after several missions.
Treasure, power and women .. We can give you what you want! So, what do you think of my offer, Mr Doom Knight?”
“...”
Ciel was speechless. He felt the old man was a bit crazy.
According to Ciel, the Curses of Shadow only lacked Generals due to his deeds. He was even convinced that the head of the Curses of Shadow must have hated him so much. Other than that …
Join the Curses of Shadow? I'm really not stupid enough to do that.
Seeing the appearance of Mival which to him even resembled a proud salesman, Ciel shook his head lightly. The young man then said in an indifferent tone.
“I refused.”
“...”
The entire battlefield that originally seemed tense instantly became silent. The originally proud-looking Mival instantly fell silent. His expression looked so ugly before a cold snort.
“Hmph! So arrogant with just such strength. You really have no idea how vast the sky is! Frog base in the well.”
“...”
Seeing Ciel who was still him, Mival became embarrassed. Gritting his teeth, he then said.
“You will regret your current decision.”
After saying that, Mival threw a strange cube onto the ground. When the strange body touched the ground, it turned into many pieces and floated and made a circle with a diameter of about three meters.
After which, a black vortex that seemed to be a portal appeared. A growl sounded from the other side of the portal. A short while later, many black wolves were coming out of the portal constantly.
Most of them were Level 2 and 3 Demonic Beasts, but there were also some who were at level 4.
However, rather than the arrival of the Demonic Beasts, Ciel instead focused towards the tool used as the portal. Transportation-related equipment is usually very expensive and difficult to obtain.
Unknowingly, behind the mask, Ciel licked his lips with a greedy expression.
Good stuff, I got to get it!
