The Useless 8th Prince

Don't Put Hope on Me!

“That's a bit excessive, Brother Alex.”

Ciel took a long breath. He looks a bit pale. Despite knowing that his sibling had no killing intent, if Ciel lacked the ability, his neck would actually be cut off.

“I'm just making sure,” Alexander said as he sheathed his sword.

“What if I'm really cut?” mumbling Ciel.

“Means you are a liar.” Alexander shook his head lightly before approaching Ciel and hugged him for a bit. “I know you're lazy, but not a liar.”

“Thanks ... I think?” Ciel looked confused. She was actually praised, but her inner self felt somewhat humiliated.

“Aren't you disrespectful, Alex? You completely ignore your mother and sister.”

Queen Lilith let out a long sigh. If his youngest son is a slacker who chooses to hide his abilities. His eldest son was .. a young man with a strange temperament.

You could say, from his two sons, there was nothing to rely on.

“Why are you guys looking at me like that, Mom? Lilia?” Alexander tilted his head.

“I didn't expect you to be familiar with little Ciel.”

“Of course I'm good. After all, he will replace me with the responsibility.”

Take responsibility? What the fuck? Why haven't I heard it!

Ciel exclaimed inwardly. The young man then looked at his mother to confirm.

“Let's go in. After Julia arrives, we'll discuss it.”

“...”

Ciel was silent on the spot when he saw his mother and younger sister enter the palace. He looked straight at his brother.

“Ah! I forget. You should have known him. My fiancee, Leona Flamehart.”

“Why did you bring an outsider .. wait a minute! A flamehart? That flamehart?”

“If not that one, which one else? Leona is the sister of your best friend-”

“I'm not friendly with him.”

Ciel interrupted. Recalling someone troublesome, he began to have a headache. When the man visited the palace, there was no calm day at all.

Obviously ... he's not my best friend!

“Forget. We'll get married in the fall. So from now on Leona will visit often.”

“Happy to meet you, Prince Luciel. Not expecting, what my sister said turned out to be the truth.”

The red-haired woman lowered her head politely when greeting. Ciel immediately replied politely before replying, “He must have overestimated me... again.”

“Leona .. I and Ciel should leave immediately. You wait in the living room and don't go anywhere.” Alexander interrupted.

“Good, Dear.”

Alexander nodded lightly before dragging Ciel away towards the family meeting room.

On the way, Ciel couldn't help but ask, “You're really getting married soon, Brother Alex?”

“True. Isn't that natural? Besides, I'm already 20 years old.”

“Although the 3rd Prince is not married?” ask Ciel.

“The man ..” Alexander shook his head. “Skeletal muscles will not seem to understand about love.”

Of love? Seriously? You really say love, Brother Alex?

“Why are you looking at me with such an expression?”

“It's okay.” Only that short sentence could be said from Ciel's mouth.

They finally entered a spacious room with a wide table and several chairs neatly arranged on a certain side. There sat their youngest mother and sister.

Ciel ended up sitting in his own chair with a lazy and bored expression. Although he has followed the so-called ‘rapat family’ several times, he himself has absolutely nothing to do. Usually meetings will be held to decide the interests of Alexander or Julia. There was also a meeting once to determine the development of Lilia.

Ciel .. never. He always acted as a showman.

Not long after, the figure of a girl about 17 or 18 years old entered the room. He had an emperor-like appearance with jet-black hair plus ruby-like red irises. The girl had a serious appearance on her face. Even at a glance, the girl was clearly the type of person that was difficult to joke with.

“Pardon my delay, Mother.” Julia was polite. He then directly looked towards Ciel with a serious expression. That made the Trash Prince dumbfounded.

Why are you looking at me with such an expression, Brother? Why do I feel like you want to eat me? What the fuck!

“Sit,” says Queen Lilith briefly.

When Queen Lilith saw her four children sitting down, she nodded.

“Because it's a bit personal, let's start the meeting before His Majesty the Emperor comes.”

“...”

Ciel and his brothers looked at each other in silence.

“The first one .. This is Alexander's wedding which will be held the 2nd month of autumn. As you know, he will marry Leona Flamehart, the first daughter of the Northern Duke,”.

Hmmm .. You know it, not me.

Ciel frowned, feeling that he himself looked ridiculous due to a lack of information.

“Because there is no problem about the Flamehart Family, plus the two also match Queen Lilith added.

“Congratulations, Brother Alex!” lilia said with a sincere smile.

“Congratulations, Brother Alexander.” Julia was polite.

Ciel looked at his brother then let out a long breath. He said, “Congratulations, Brother Alex. I hope your relationship will remain in eternity. I also hope you guys are always happy.”

Looking at everything, Alexander nodded. “Thank you, Everyone.”

“Next ... This is a proposal from Alexander himself and I have also thought about it.” Queen Lilith reopened the conversation.

“...”

Everyone began to refocus on the woman's words.

“This is a pretty sensitive issue. Actually ... Alexander proposed Ciel to replace him in the position of title contention Crown Prince.”

Hearing that, Julia and Lilia immediately looked towards Ciel with astonished expressions. Meanwhile, the Trash Prince looked stunned. He really did not understand what had happened here.

“I know the sisters are questioning why I want to hand this position over to Ciel.

Actually it's very simple. Ciel is a true talented figure. Even at the age of 15 years .. he has reached level 5 (medium) which is even higher than me. I myself realized it and felt himself more suited to lead the Black Sun Empire than I was.”

After saying that, Alexander closed his eyes with a relieved expression.

At that moment, Ciel finally came to his senses. His evil older brother turned out to give a short hug in gratitude. That person was clearly depressed due to the seizure of the Crown Prince's seat. Therefore, Alexander threw the responsibility to him.

Ciel was completely speechless. He could only cry out in his heart.

Fucking brother! Stop throwing people's responsibilities and expectations at me!
