The Useless 8th Prince

Elena's request

The next day, a serious-looking Ciel sat inside his study.

“Have all the flyers been shared when I left, Camellia?”

In the workspace, there was only Ciel and Camellia. What Ciel meant by handing out flyers was the task he gave the girl's head before he went to the Royal Capital.

“Already, Mr.” Camellia replied in a somewhat daze. It seems to remember last night.

In the summer of the 3rd month that is soon to arrive, Ciel plans to recruit new knights. Initially the young man had intended to recruit 5000 new members. Two thousand for strikers, two thousand for guardians, and a thousand for watchers.

But with the additional money given by his father, he immediately intended to recruit more. Now he wants to recruit 8000 people. Three thousand strikers, three thousand defenders, and two thousand watchers.

Of course, Ciel intended to form a shadow army that he wanted to develop as an elite. Because it requires a lot of resources, the young man intends to recruit 1500 people.

“Have the registrants arrived?” ask Ciel.

As Ciel was recruiting from all over the region, the young man gave a considerable amount of time. Many participants had come from the area that 5 Viscounts managed, so it also required time to arrive at Black Lily City personally.

“It is estimated that they have all arrived, my lord. The recruitment would be carried out three days later, almost the entire inn in the city had been full. Looks like they are very enthusiastic.” Camellia smiled gently.

“Also ..” Ciel looked at Camellia with a smile.

“I-Yes, My Lord?” Camellia became nervous, a red hue appeared on her cheek.

“Congratulations to have become a level 3 demon, Camellia.”

“E-Eh?” Camellia looked surprised. He muttered, “When I intend to hide it.”

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Workroom door knocked, Ciel immediately said, “Log in.”

“It's me, Honey.”

Ariana came into the room. Ciel nodded and let him sit down. She also had Camellia sit on the sofa before she sat down next to Ariana.

“Flora says you have something to do with me, honey. What's up?”

“Ariana ..”

Somehow Ciel felt nervous as if he was a husband who claimed to have cheated his wife. After taking a deep breath and calming down, he said with a serious expression.

“Ariana, actually I want to make Camellia my concubine. Himself has agreed. Do you have any other opinions?”

“Camellia?” Ariana looked at Camellia without changing her expression. He still smiled gently with a blank look. “Didn't Elena do it too? Or that Succubus butler?”

“Why are you even discussing them?” Ciel looked at Ariana.

“I mean .. isn't this normal, dear? Concubine .. Even if it's dozens, as long as you're happy, I don't care. Such a thing had already become commonplace in the lives of nobles, right?

Even if it's two other wives .. I won't interfere either. Political marriages are also common. You don't have to worry about me, honey.”

Seeing Ariana take it for granted, Ciel was not at all happy. If it was another girl, despite still accepting being forced, they would definitely have some other opinions. After all, receiving shared affection is not easy.

Ciel exhaled a long breath. He stroked Ariana's head gently.

“I thank you for that. But I will still ask for your opinion. Since I'm engaged, I won't treat you unfairly. After all, you are my future wife.

I will try to cure you immediately ..”

“Cure me?” Ariana looked at Ciel. “But I'm not sick at all, honey. I'm very healthy?”

“Iya .. you are very healthy.” Ciel smiled gently. A slight pity flashed in his eyes.

Ciel shook his head lightly. Since the matters of a secret nature had been settled, he looked relaxed.

“It's just a regular job. You can stay here. You are not at all annoying, Ariana.”

“Good.” Ariana nodded lightly.

While Ariana and Camellia sat opposite each other staring in silence, Ciel continued his work. He kept looking at the documents that needed to be dealt with. Decide whether to agree or reject it.

In addition, Ciel also had to read the entire tax report of the businessmen in the areas he personally managed. There should be officers in every town working on it. But Ciel still check to ensure there is no fraud in the transaction. He wanted to create a prosperous region so that he could live in a relaxed and calm manner.

...***...

Without feeling it, two days just passed.

In the afternoon, Ciel who had finished his work was suddenly met by Elena.

“What's up, Elena?” ciel asked without suspicion.

“There are things I want to talk to you about personally, Tuanku.”

Seeing Elena's serious expression, Ciel nodded. After learning that Elena wanted the two of them to leave Black Lily City, Ciel unhesitatingly agreed to it. After changing clothes and picking up weapons, he immediately followed Elena.

Ciel who boarded Deschia easily followed Elena and her Four Winged Snow Eagle. They then stopped and descended in a small forest adjacent to a small town. It was not too far away from Black Lily City.

There was a small hut in the forest. In front of the building, there were four black-robed people waiting for Ciel and Elena. They looked surprised when they saw Ciel riding on a Wyvern.

After descending from their mounts, Ciel followed Elena closer to the four-robed men. Seeing their strength with ‘Eye of The Lord’, Ciel raised his eyebrows.

Three level 2 people and one level 3 person, right?

“Stop there, Elena. Are you sure we can trust this guy?” A female voice sounded from the figure leading the four people.

Although Ciel was able to detect the power or energy contained within a living being, he could not detect race, gender, or name. The Eye of The Lord could detect many important things. While the three things ... might be considered not too important by this skill.

“Do not insult my master, Meira. Didn't you come to my lord's territory knowing his kindness? Even the master is very kind to the Heteromorphic race.” Elena replied with a cold expression.

The four people looked at each other and nodded. The four of them opened the hood and showed their faces in front of Ciel and Elena. The thing that shocked Ciel was .. They were all Dark Elves.

“Warm greetings from us, Prince Luciel.”

The four people respect elegantly. Ciel only nodded lightly in response.

“Include, my name is Meira. One of four commanders of the Blue Moon.” group

Hearing the name ‘Blue Moon’ mentioned, Ciel immediately looked at Elena with a curious expression.

“Please listen to them, My Lord. I'm sure they have their own reasons for doing this.” Elena said in a slightly pleading tone.

Ciel was slightly surprised before nodding. Looking towards those four people, he slightly raised the corner of his mouth.

“What do assassins like you want to do to find an Exile Prince like myself?” Ciel asked casually.

“Please take care of your words, Prince Luciel.” Meira looks quite unhappy because she is considered an assassin or a murderer.

“Then ... do I need to replace it with the designation ‘small revolution troops’, Miss Meira?” Ciel still smiled gently.

However, the atmosphere became colder and more solemn. Both sides looked at each other in silence. Obviously, the fight could start at any time.
