The Useless 8th Prince

Bigger is Better

“Are you okay, Elena?”

Looking at Elena who opened her eyes, Cie who was sitting next to her immediately noticed the woman.

After capturing the Purple Rings Emerald Viper, Ciel stored it into a special jar used to store medicinal ingredients or valuable plants. Of course, there was an air hole in the lid of the glass jar that kept the creature breathing.

Ciel put it in one of the bags on her waist because she was carrying two bags. One of the smaller-looking bags was not an ordinary bag, but rather a dimensional bag that could hold 10 cubic meters. But living things cannot enter into it.

If asked if this world also had a dimensional ring, Ciel would answer there. Only, the concept of a bag or ring dimension is not at all common. Since space magic itself was extremely rare and complicated, not all craftsmen could make it.

Even in the Black Sun Empire that could be considered one of the strongest empires on the mainland, items of some sort of dimensional bag were extremely rare. Usually only upper class nobles (Marquis or more) as well as their descendants have them. While the dimensional ring, the thing was more rare, only the head of the family or the heir possessed it.

In the Royal Family, usually children who turn 15 years old are given a dimensional bag. In addition, when the sons entered the age of 20, they were given a dimensional ring. As for a princess, they only obtained a dimensional bag. Although smaller, the minimal dimensional ring could hold 100 cubic meters.

Usually Ciel will not carry a dimensional bag because in it there is a valuable collection. Those things were of course the things he had robbed .. uhuk! He meant to borrow from the armory or the laboratory of the Black Sun Empire.

The reason Ciel took him was certainly not because he was afraid of accidentally getting caught in trouble or being hit by an accident. The reason the young man was carrying a dimensional bag was actually simple. Many precious objects and plants in the Blackwood Forest and Black Cloud Mountains.

Elena who woke up looked at Ciel intently. The woman suddenly turned her face away. A red hue appeared on her cheek, making her look even prettier.

“Are you okay, Elena? Is it still dizzy?” Ciel who saw Elena's face felt somewhat doubtful.

Does he have a fever? The book does not explain that. Could it be that this little brat's bite actually also resulted in a fever?

Ciel immediately approached Elena and touched the woman's forehead. Feeling that the temperature was not too hot, he felt relieved.

Meanwhile, the surprised Elena suddenly retreated while exclaiming, “A ... A-What!”

“Nothing. I'm afraid you have a fever so check it out.” Ciel replied while shrugging with a helpless expression.

“...”

Seeing that Elena was silent, Ciel let out a long sigh. He then asked, “How about going back?”

“No!” exclaim Elena. He observed Ciel with a doubtful expression as he muttered, “Aren't you planning on finding a mount?”

“Indeed,” says Ciel. The young man looked right into Elena's eyes. “However it can be delayed. Your health is more important, okay?”

“I'm fine, Sir. Let's move on. After all, you can't go back empty-handed.”

I'm not coming back empty-handed, okay? I actually have a special little snake here. This little boy can …

Seeing the serious expression on Elena's face, a gentle smile appeared on Ciel's face. He shook his head lightly but did not say what was on his mind.

“Good.” Ciel nodded lightly.

“Hmmm ..” Ciel stroking his chin.

Actually Ciel has not determined what creature he wants to tame and make mounts. In his own opinion, there are three criteria that must have mounts. Easy and comfortable to ride, strong, and .. looks cool. If the creature could fly, it could be considered a bonus.

There was a custom made by the young nobles. It was catching and taming their own first mounts. You could say it was like a small competition between young nobles. The higher the level of those mounts, the more they were praised.

Even so, the mounts they usually used were the second mounts prepared by the noble families. After all, it was almost impossible for a normal young noble to catch a powerful mount.

For example, the first son of each queen. The first prince had a powerful Unicorn and could use black lightning magic. The 3rd Prince, the second Queen's son, that person had a winged snake mount that looked cool and domineering. Its size was also large and just like the Unicorn, it was able to control lightning magic.

While Ciel's older brother, or the 4th Prince, he has a mount called a Skoll. A ferocious and ferocious horned wolf with incredible strength and speed. He can control the wind and the shadows. In a story book, it is said that the creature is still a descendant of the legendary Demonic Beast, Fenrir.

For Ciel, having strong mounts and looking cool is like having a sports car. Their entire mount was a level 4 creature, arguably extremely powerful. Imagining those three people, he could only sigh deeply.

Actually Ciel also has a plan to get a mount called Griffin. The creature has an eagle head, a lion-like body with eagle-like forelimbs and wings. It was a beautiful and also powerful creature.

The Griffin itself was actually the mount of the elite knights under the Emperor. Arguably to become elite knights, they had to conquer the Griffin. By the way .. Griffin is an arrogant creature and does not accept just anyone as its master. Only the person who could defeat him in a one-on-one match got his recognition. They also keep their eggs very tight.

The reason Ciel didn't do it was the distance that was too far away as well as another personal reason. It was because the 2nd Prince also had a Griffin mount. That person always prides himself on riding as well as the struggle to get it. Ciel did not want to irritate the person for the mounts at all and once again added to the enemy.

Ciel suddenly thought of his father or grandfather's mount. His father's mount is a powerful level 6 creature named the Vulcanic Dragon. It looked like a western dragon with black scales with glowing red streaks like rocks and lava.

As for his grandfather's mount, it was both tier 6 but more rare. It was called the Shadowstorm Dragon. It looks like a western dragon but is a bit slimmer. The creature can control wind, lightning, and create storms. You could say the creature was like a walking disaster.

Each dragon was even more arrogant than Griffin. Besides being difficult to tame, they were extremely rare and hard to find. Perhaps only the Emperor or the Great King had such a powerful mount.

Not only dragons, dragon descendants also still had great arrogance. In fact Ciel had thought of taming the Abyssal Basilisk, a giant horned lizard-like creature with six legs and a powerful poison. The creature was also level 4, strong, and even looked domineering. However the creature was too ferocious and lacking in sense, usually choosing to fight to the death rather than submit.

Damnit damnit! I want a strong and cool ride! Having a sports car is definitely the dream of men!

After exclaiming inwardly, Ciel suddenly let out a long sigh.

“Are you okay, Mister?” ask Elena who is worried.

“It's okay.”

“Actually what mounts are you interested in, Mr?”

Hearing Elena's question, Ciel looked at the woman with a blank expression. Suddenly he imagined dragons or other large and ferocious creatures. He then opened his mouth.

“Something bigger ... better.”
