The Useless 8th Prince

Uncertainty and Offer

“Jadi ... can you say something?”

Sitting in his chair, Ciel looked at the figure sitting across the table.

There was a young man with long straight black hair. The iris was green and her skin was also white like the skin of a girl. Her body was slender and she also looked somewhat feminine. One look, Ciel knew that the man was good at literature.

Instead of directly answering, the young man watched over Ciel closely. He felt Ciel was different from what was rumored.

“Include, I am Louie Zevirrius, the 2nd son of Duke Zevirrius of the Black Star Kingdom.” The young man said politely. The tone is so smooth and friendly.

“I'm Luciel Dawnbringer, the Prince of Trash. Forget these pleasantries,” Ciel said in a bored tone. “What problem is there? Justsaytheword. No need to hold back.”

“You look different than I imagined, Prince Luciel. Actually I came because I had an impolite request ..”

“If it's not polite, isn't that tantamount to humiliation? Don't talk around. I'm really tired.” Ciel took a long breath.

“...” Louie scratched the back of her head with a embarrassed expression. Really makes Ciel confused to have to respond how.

“If you don't have a jakun, I definitely think of you as a woman! Don't be shy like that!”

“Please take care of your manners, Prince Luciel.” Louie tried to be firm, but she still sounded soft.

“Then talk like a man!” ciel shouted impatiently.

Puppet princess .. Duke's unruly son .. now Duke's feminine acting son! Goddamnit! What's wrong with the people around me!

Ciel roared in heart. Louie who saw him felt a bit embarrassed. Pretending to cough, the feminine youth finally spoke.

“Actually ... Actually I was assigned to bring Princess Ariana back.”

“Bring her back???” Ciel turned his head towards Ariana who was sitting next to him.

“True.” Louie nodded.

“King who asked for it?” ciel asked with a pretty excited expression.

Although somewhat pitying, he still felt happy if the King tried to bring back Ariana. After all, there was no way he would get the girl to sign a soul contract. Ciel has too many secrets. He did not want that kind of thing to be revealed. The young man still did not trust Ariana completely.

“Not. This is my sister.” Louie shook her head with a bitter expression.

“Your sister??” Ciel raised his eyebrows with an unhappy expression.

“True. My sister is the same age as you and Princess Ariana. Actually-”

“Wait! I wonder about two things. First, you look skinny and younger than me. Do you really have a sister my age?”

The corner of Louie's lips twitched. Unexpectedly, even when coming out of the Black Star Kingdom, he was also doubtful in the same way.

“Please keep your courtesy, Prince Luciel. I am older indeed. My age ... 17 years.”

“Serious??”

“Very serious,” said Louie in a powerless tone.

“Both. A son of the Duke of the Black Star Kingdom dared to rule the Prince of the Black Sun Empire.

Do you guys really want to make the Black Sun Empire send an elite army and make you die young?”

Although it looked relaxed, Ciel exuded a terrifying aura. This made Louie doubtful. Obviously the young man in front of him was not trash as rumored, but he had no idea what the real face of ‘Prince Garbage’ in front of him looked like.

It does. Although the latest ‘palsu’ information about Ciel has been spread, it is only in the circle of nobles and people in the Ciel region itself. Emperor Julius had clearly locked the information away in order not to exit the Black Sun Empire.

If that information were to spread .. there would be a lot of people eyeing geniuses like Ciel.

“Reason??? Just explain.” Ciel said relax.

“Actually this is an offer from Princess Ariana's older sister, the 2nd Prince of the Black Star Kingdom.

The Prince offered my sister to marry Princess Ariana to him in exchange for the support of the Zevirrius Family. The reason is simple, because my sister was chosen as the head of the family after my father retired.

There were actually four Duchy, one supporting the first Prince, one supporting the 2nd Prince, the other two being neutral. The Zevirrius family itself is actually neutral, but the Prince wants to include us in his cave.”

“Your sister agrees ... and asks Princess Ariana to come back?”

“True. This is actually an order from the 2nd Prince personally.” Louie sighed helplessly.

If it was the King's request, Ciel would have instantly agreed. While a prince ... Ciel still thinks about it.

“King and Queen don't know about it?” ask Ciel.

“King knows but does not care about the competition affairs of the Crown Prince's seat. Queen Elizabeth ... she doesn't know.”

“Then you can ask Queen Elizabeth first.”

“This ..” Louie smiles bitterly. “Queen will not approve this.”

“Then you guys tried to force Princess Ariana?”

“According to the words of the 2nd Prince and all known nobles of the Black Star Kingdom, Princess Ariana obviously did not care about being ready for her to get married. So-”

“Diam.” Ciel cut his words in a cold tone.

Confused as to what to do, Louie finally pulled out a beautiful medal and placed it on the table. The medal was made of gold with the image of three snakes coiling around each other and forming a trident. In the eyes and some places encrusted a beautiful new emerald. This was the symbol of the 2nd Prince of the Black Star Kingdom.

“What do you mean by this?” asked Ciel coldly.

“If you agree to the 2nd Prince's request, he will consider you as a friend. He'll help if-”

“Enough!” ciel said in an impatient tone.

Ciel glanced at Ariana who was sitting still. Despite having a gentle smile and a blank look as usual, he realized that the girl's finger was trembling slightly when he heard Louie mention about the 2nd Prince of the Black Star Kingdom.

“Do you disagree with this?” ask Louie in doubt.

“I'm engaged to Ariana! If I give it back, it's like I'm selling my own wife to people! Goddamnit! Even though I'm trash, I'm not such a silly guy!” exclaim Ciel.

“If you refuse, maybe the 2nd Prince will be angry and-”

“Fuck with their anger! Holy bullshit! If it's a King or an Emperor. Both a prince and humbled me? I'm afraid of that kind of thing!”

Looking at the ferocious-looking Ciel, Louie was surprised but looked somewhat relieved. Of course, Ciel paid no attention to such a thing.

“If there are no other problems, you can go.” Ciel said in an indifferent tone.

Louie stood up and saluted.

“Then I will go.”

Seeing the figure of Louie walking away in the distance, Ciel grumbled inwardly.

Damnit damnit! Even now the Prince of another Kingdom is my enemy.
