The Useless 8th Prince
Getting obnoxious
“You really refuse to kneel?”
Ciel looked at Jean with a astonished expression. The young man was still standing as he gritted his teeth and propped himself up with a black spear stuck on the ground. On Jean's right hand are irregular black stripes that look like roots.
“Besides your left hand .. wouldn't that other limb still be poisoned? If you keep holding that spear, won't you die?”
Instead of releasing the spear, Jean's grip on the spear grew firmer. He even started laughing with a less sane expression.
“Hahahaha! Rather than kneeling, I would rather die!” shouted Jean.
After shouting, Jean suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood. Although his body managed to force him to survive, his internal organs were still not strong enough to withstand the gravitational pull and ended up shaking.
“Truly stubborn?” Ciel tilted his head with an astonished look.
Although it looks so calm, Ciel himself actually endured the pain in his head. If he continued to use gravity magic like this, maybe his head would explode or he would become stupid because of the many shocks.
“Hahahaha! What if I'm stubborn? Even though I am not a noble, I still have my pride. I can't die kneeling! Otherwise, I wouldn't have had the face to meet my late father!” jean exclaimed with a proud expression.
“Deep your father?” ask Ciel.
“Because it's just a little warrior, maybe you don't remember the name after killing him. My father is Kun, the person you killed for infiltrating your territory!”
EEEHHHHHHHHH'S? This person ... is really Kun's son?
Ciel was surprised but did not appear on the face. Even so, he carefully observed Jean's face, but the result was nil. Compared to Kun, Jean was clearly very different. The figure was more handsome and looked to have better genes. Not to mention he had a good talent for becoming a knight.
“You are really the son of Old Man Kun?” ask Ciel.
“You ... You really remember my father?” Jean looked surprised as she looked at Ciel.
“You must be a foster child, right?”
“Sial! It's bullshit! I'm obviously his biological son!” jean shouted with an angry expression.
“Ya ... You know? Old Man Kun it looks rather ... I won't comment more.”
“How dare you insult my late father! Although not handsome or strong, he was the best father in this world! Kill me! I want to see him soon to apologize!” jean exclaimed with an impatient expression.
“It's impossible. If you die, you won't be able to meet your father.”
“Even if I do not meet, I will still go to the afterlife!” exclaim Jean.
Ciel who saw Jean was dumbfounded. He couldn't help but ask, “Are you stupid?”
“...”
“Why silence?” ciel asked confusedly.
Instead of answering, Jean kept staring in a certain direction.
Ciel who saw Jean stunned turned her head in the direction that the person was looking. From a distance, it appeared that a middle-aged man was racing his horse in a hurry. At the sight of Jean, the middle-aged man looked happy.
“Master! Please wait a minute .. Sir!”
Seeing that figure, Ciel raised his eyebrows.
“Why are you here, Kun? Is your family okay?”
After the horse approached from the opposite side to Jean, Kun immediately jumped off the horse and ran towards Ciel. He immediately knelt down.
“Because of your kindness, my family is safe, sir. They were now following a trading caravan heading towards Black Lily City.”
“Why are you here?” ciel asked as he slowly descended from the sky.
“Alleged?”
“Hundreds of young knights who were the subject of experimentation by Marcus Bathory. My son is one of them.”
“Don't say ..” Ciel looked towards the seven people he locked with gravity magic. The young man then looked back at Kun. “Ratusan? Only seven people left?”
Damnit damnit! I didn't expect the Bathory Family to be this crazy.
Thinking of his enemy's sane logic, Ciel creeped. The young man was not at all afraid of having to fight a powerful enemy. Yet he somewhat refused to be hostile to a madman. They must have strange behaviors and do things beyond extreme thinking.
“Sir! I know this is disrespectful. I also know they made a fatal mistake. Please ... Please forgive them, Sir!”
“What's the point of letting them live? Besides .. they almost messed me up. If there is no me, maybe 40,000 warriors will be buried in this city.”
Ciel said with an indifferent expression. Those people lowered their heads could only duck because they could not deny it.
“But Tuan-”
“Kun.” Ciel looked at the man with a cold expression. “I'm being nice doesn't mean you can be arbitrary. Your life and your family are in my hands. If I want, your family will be sent directly to the cemetery of Black Lily City.”
Kun immediately lowered his head with a pale expression. Despite knowing that Ciel is better than Marcus, the mistakes his son and his group have made have gone too far. If he asked for more.
“They said that the victims of the experiment were dead, right?” Ciel stared coldly. “You didn't see anything. Your son died in the Bathory Family lab. Now go before I change my mind.”
“T-Master, I-”
Kun had not yet finished his words, he felt a pain in his left shoulder. When he looked up, the man looked at the sword-wielding Ciel while looking at him with an indifferent expression.
“You're not Camellia. You're not Elena. You are also not Asterious.” Ciel spoke word for word in an increasingly cold tone. “Although different from other nobles, I still appreciate individual talent and value. And people like you .. can be replaced at any time.”
“...”
“Reality is cruel, Kun. Go right now. If you still say something, maybe you'll lose your head.”
Ignoring the wound on his shoulder, Kun immediately kowtowed.
“Please forgive the son of the servant, Sir! Instead, you can take the life of a servant. Rather than me, Jean has a good and useful talent for you. So please-”
“NO!!”
It wasn't Ciel who was screaming, it was Jean. The man was daydreaming because he could not believe what he saw. Upon regaining consciousness, Jean unhesitatingly released her grip on the spear and knelt down.
“Prince Luciel! It was all my fault, my father and my family were not involved at all. Please forgive my family's life!” exclaim Jean.
“Jean!”
“Daddy ..”
“DIAM!!”
Ciel shouted while holding his forehead with a helpless expression. Seeing such a harmonious family made her feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of the Royal Family fighting over each other's throne, treasures, and others. Although there were some good figures to him in the family, Ciel still had doubts to them. Even the little sister he cared about ended up ignoring him and being cold to him.
Ciel looked up while looking at the sky full of stars before sighing deeply.
Damnit damnit! All of this is becoming more and more annoying.
