The Useless 8th Prince

The fate of the Black Star Kingdom

Uhuk! Uhuk!

Seeing almost every knight either from the comrade or foe side staring at him, Ciel pretended to cough. Removing the Mival corpse into the dimensional bag, he immediately gave the order.

“All troops ... march to war! Part porter, I want you to gather the Shadow Gale Wolf!”

Hearing Ciel's orders, the combined forces of the seven regions did not dare to delay. They immediately marched towards the city to carry out a siege.

“OOOHHHH!!”

Seeing the victory in plain sight, the knights shouted excitedly. Their shouts boomed, making the opposing party's knights tremble.

Looking at the scene, Duke Rowley's expression did not look good at all. The man looked a bit pale. He gritted his teeth with tightly clenched hands. Looking towards Ciel, his eyes were red .. was completely angry and felt filled with hatred.

In the end, he immediately gave the order.

“Wave the white flag! According to the etiquette of war, as long as we surrender .. the nobles will be tried according to the law.”

Imprisoned and lost many family assets. Yeah, at least .. it's better than a whole family massacre.

Duke Rowley let out a long sigh, not expecting that the war would end without having time to fight back. Looking at the opponent's strength, he really felt helpless.

In the end, Duke Rowley could only make the most rational decision. Even though he betrayed, the reason he rebelled was not because of hatred towards the King or anything like that. Just like royalty in general, he was very interested in the benefits he would get after the war.

It's just .. sometimes things don't go according to plan.

...***...

Ten days later.

News of the capture of Duke Rowley and Rowley’s of the recaptured Duchy rang out throughout the entire Black Star Kingdom. Many nobles from the other three Duchy even in the Royal Capital of Black Star were in disbelief when they heard the news.

But in the end they were forced to believe because after being investigated, the news was real. Rowley’s the retaken Duchy had no intention of marching towards the Capital, but instead chose to retreat and recover the entire territory within.

The news made the two rebel-held Duchy relieved. On the contrary, the nobles in the Capital and the other Duchy looked furious. They considered Rowley’s Duchy a traitor, insulting those people for not wanting to help.

Queen Elizabeth has tried to appease the nobles. Said thanks to the release of Rowley’s Duchy, their burden in the war reduced. Still, those selfish nobles felt unaccepting, not even grateful for what the knights in Rowley’s Duchy had done.

In the Capital of the Black Star Kingdom, Black Gemma Palace.

In her room, Queen Elizabeth gazed at the night sky filled with stars. A complicated expression was seen on his face. The woman felt that her patience was running out because of the actions of the nobles.

“The Doom Knight ..” murmured Queen Elizabeth.

Queen Elizabeth was very curious about this. For some reason, when he heard the nickname, he imagined the figure of a handsome young man who was so lazy but very strong. More than any other young man of his generation.

Remembering the figure of her best friend's son, Queen Elizabeth shook her head.

Luciel is a level 5 (late) demon, while The Doom Knight is a level 6 (early) demon. They should not have a relationship.

Not to mention, Luciel had the mutated Frost Wyvern as a mount, while The Doom Knight rode the Dark Unicorn. The two are so far away, so obviously unrelated.

But ... Why do I feel like the two may have a certain relationship?

The beautiful woman took a long breath. Sitting on the edge of the bed, he felt tired with everything. Even so, Queen Elizabeth still clings to the belief that following the King of the Black Star to the end is her responsibility.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Hearing the sound of a knock on the door, Queen Elizabeth immediately replied.

“Log.”

“Your Majesty would like to meet you, Ratuku.”

“What's up?” asked Queen Elizabeth with a look of wonder.

“I don't know, My Queen. Only, His Majesty the King called the other two Queens along with the descendants who still live in the Palace.”

“...”

Hearing that, Queen Elizabeth nodded lightly. After which, he let out a long breath before saying.

“You can go.”

“As you wish, Ratuku.”

After the maid left, Queen Elizabeth got ready before heading to the King's study.

Some time later, in the Black Star King's study room.

The figure of Queen Elizabeth came alone. Other than her there was a beautiful woman with wavy black hair who was wearing a blood red dress. The iris of the woman's eyes was blue, her expression was so cold. That woman was the First Queen of the Black Star Kingdom.

Queen Elizabeth is the 2nd Queen of the Black Star Kingdom. Just like her, the First Queen also came alone. Other than the two of them, there was also a younger woman, she had a softer appearance. The woman had light brown hair with beautiful green irises. She was the 3rd Queen of the Black Star Kingdom.

First Queen, Nura .. 2nd Queen, Elizabeth .. and 3rd Queen, Fryssa.

Unlike Queen Nura and Queen Elizabeth, Queen Fryssa comes with two children by her side. One child was a girl who was roughly 14 years old with a similar appearance to her. The other was a boy less than ten years old.

They after waiting for a while, a male figure with blonde hair and green irises with beautiful patterns entered into the study room. The man looked slightly older than Emperor Julius. The man's name was Wade Vandir, King of the Black Star Kingdom.

He looked so indifferent and walked towards his chair. After which, he said in a cold tone.

“Sit.”

After getting an order from him, the three Queens as well as the two descendants of the King were sitting on the sofa. Not much to say, but instead waited for King Wade to continue his words.

“If I die in this war, Edgar will be the next King.”

“...”

King Wade's words immediately made the three Queens shocked. The 4th Prince, Edgar Vandir is the son of Queen Fryssa who is under 10 years old. To them, pointing at a child seemed like a King was too much.

“Pardon my impoliteness, My King. However, I feel Prince Edgar is still too carrying out the heavy duty.” Queen Nura said politely.

“Then who do you want to be my successor? I'm dying now! Don't tell me you suggested your son, the 3rd Prince, to be King?

I will say, since that child fled to another Kingdom during the war, he is no longer entitled to be King!”

“...”

Hearing King Wade's cold cry, Queen Nura simply lowered her head before returning to her seat. After losing her first son, Queen Nura chose to send the 3rd Prince to leave the Black Star Kingdom on a war crisis. He has no other choice.

While the news of Eoran being betrayed by his own fiancee has also spread. Thus, only one Prince remained who could inherit the Crown Prince's seat. Only, the 4th Prince is still too young.

The three queens knew, even if they defeated the rebels …

The fate of the Black Star Kingdom was not far from destruction.
