The Useless 8th Prince

Guests Not Invited

Damnit damnit! I'm exaggerating!

Ciel who had released the arrow was instantly shocked. He did not expect that he was this lazy. Looking at the dart that shot out, the young man turned pale. If it gets to Zack .. bad things are bound to happen.

At that moment, Emperor Julius disappeared from his place and appeared in front of Zack. When it was finished, the right hand of Emperor Julius was enveloped by flames that formed like the claws of a dragon. With a cold expression, he instantly grabbed the black arrow that suddenly appeared in front of him.

The sound of a muffled explosion was heard. Emperor Julius looked indifferent from the outside, but felt shocked in his heart.

Despite having used the Flame Dragon Claw magic .. This arrow actually numbed my hand?

Imagining what would happen if the arrow hit Zack, Emperor Julius's face looked grim.

“What does all this mean, Luciel? You actually used that kind of magic to your own friend! Do you want to kill him!” exclaimed Emperor Julius with a cold gaze.

“A-”

“Your Majesty the Emperor, please do not scold Prince Luciel! I asked him to be serious in order to compare our strengths,” Zack said in a respectful but firm tone.

Hearing the noise he usually ignored defending him, Ciel felt somewhat moved. The young man felt quite lucky. Despite not having many friends, he had a friend who cared about him.

“I know myself still very weak. So ... please allow me to follow Prince Luciel to the southern border in search of experience!” add Zack with a passionate tone.

Follow me to the southern border?

Ciel muses. His heart suddenly turned cold. The young man looked at Zack with a blank expression.

Damnit damnit! So this is what you mean! No way! I'm not going to add one variable that will make my plans fall apart!

“It looks like it's not a bad idea.”

“Dad!” exclaimed Ciel immediately, “While the southern border is my territory and I have started managing it, there are still quite a lot of dangerous things there. If something happens to Zack, Duke Flamehart will definitely feel sad.”

Zack who heard Ciel's words felt that he was worried. He can't be unmoved. “Argh! My best friend! You really worry about me! I know ... The reason why you used such magic must be because you are sure His Majesty the Emperor will intervene. You must be trying to make me see that this world is dangerous! You really are a very nice person, My best friend!”

Me? Good guys? You're exaggerating! I just don't want you to follow me!

Ciel roared in heart. The young man felt bitter and despicable. In the view of his friend, he was really considered so good. His friend's innocence sometimes made his conscience a little hurt.

“Zack .. I'm glad Ciel has a best friend like you. And you're Ciel, even though utilizing father is careless, your intentions are so sincere, so I forgive you.” The Emperor nodded, feeling pleased that his lazy son turned out to be a good son. Not only that, he was also happy to realize that his son actually still has real friends.

Ughhhh! My heart!

Ciel touched his chest with a pale expression. The young man felt his conscience shout at himself and called him trash. It's really unbearable!

“Although you can't follow me. Zack .. You can come visit in the spring of next year. I think ... it's safe enough.”

“Really? I will definitely come! I promise!” zack said with a passionate tone.

Don't come and don't promise! Damnit damnit! Don't you know that's a pleasantries!

Ciel cursed in his heart. Confused to cry or laugh. But since the speech had come out, he could not pull it. After all, he was not the type to lick his own saliva.

“Then you continue. We will go,” said Emperor Julius.

Seeing her family and Queen Elizabeth leave, Ciel, Zack, and Ariana salute.

By the time the men had disappeared from view, Ariana immediately approached Ciel while carrying a tray on which was a glass of cold water. The girl also had a towel hanging over her shoulder.

“Cold drink, Darling.”

Ciel blinked for a moment. Looking at Ariana, she suddenly recalled Camellia who usually always followed and took care of her needs. The young man began to miss him.

“It's my duty, dear.”

Zack who saw the two was completely speechless. In the end, he could only let out a long sigh before going to a corner of the training room and picking up a towel as well as cold water himself.

When we get home! I'll ask you to find a better fiance!

Zack grumbled inwardly, feeling somewhat envious of his best friend. Previously, Ciel had Camellia always follow him and take care of him. Whereas now, when it comes to having a fiancee, that person also gets a fiancee who is so devoted.

The world is unfair.

Zack once again let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly.

After lunch together, Zack finally decided to return to the house that Duke Flamehart had bought in the Royal Capital. He said he would stop by again tomorrow morning, leaving Ciel confused as to what to say.

In the afternoon, Ciel was seen relaxing in a small building in the middle of a small lake behind the Northern Palace. Behind the palace, there is a vast flower garden with various types of flowers. In the middle of it, there was an artificial lake with many ornamental fish and water flowers.

Since childhood, Ciel usually relax there while reading books and eating a variety of fruits. Actually, the place is usually used to relax family members while free. But because Ciel colonized the place, everyone gave up and let the place become Ciel's private place.

Although Ciel had already gone to the northern border, the place was not used because it was used to regard the artificial lake as a place to be shunned. After all, no one wanted to get close or try to visit the Trash Prince. Of course, there was a servant in charge of cleaning the place every day.

“What a nostalgia,” said Ciel who sat in a lounge chair while looking at the lake filled with fish.

“Although new three months?”

Hearing Ariana's voice, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. He immediately said, “There is no harm in missing home even though it has only been a few days!”

“So.” Ariana said briefly without changing her expression.

“By the way ... You'll be home tomorrow, Ariana?”

“We intend to stay in the Northern Palace for four days and four nights. According to the schedule, tomorrow we will be back.”

“According to schedule?” Ciel looked towards Ariana.

“After several times talking with Mother, he decided. From now on, I will follow you, my dear. I will also go to the southern border of the Black Sun Empire.” Ariana nodded gently.

“Cannot be!” exclaim Ciel.

At the moment when he was dizzy, there was suddenly an interrupting sound.

“Prince Luciel, I came to report.”

Seeing a beautiful maid coming, Ciel was confused. Not usually until a maid arrives interrupting her downtime.

“What's up?” ask Ciel.

“Someone comes to visit and wants to see you. From his identity, that person was the son of a Duke from the Black Star Kingdom.” Not daring to be negligent, the maid said politely as she explained the situation.

Black Star Kingdom?

Ciel immediately glanced towards Ariana as she muttered that. He could not help but sigh long. Grumbling in the heart.

Guests not invited .. problems.

Damnit damnit! Let me rest for a moment!
