The Useless 8th Prince

What's On His Mind

“SHA!!!”

In a room, a young man smashed some items such as glasses, vases, and many other things. The young man had a slightly similar appearance to Louie Zevirrius, but had a taller and stockier body. His haircut is also shorter and neatly trimmed.

His name was Daylen Zevirrius, Louie's younger brother and heir to the next head of the House of Zevirrius.

Daylen is angry because of Ciel's actions that did not give him face. He and the 2nd Prince want to be friends with ‘sampah’ in exchange for the return of Ariana. But not the reply was a short repulsion as if to assume the two of them did not exist.

Worse, Ciel actually killed the envoys sent by the 2nd Prince. What made Daylen angry, the one the prince sent was his uncle and his army. They were arguably part of the core strength of the Zevirrius Family.

Not only defeated, after not returning for some time.it was concluded that they died in the land of the Black Sun Empire. Angered Daylen wanted to ask the 2nd Prince for help, but that person did not even meet him. It was clearly hands off with what happened to the Zevirrius Family.

“That tramp really made the Zevirrius Family into guinea pigs! Damnit!” Daylen roared furiously.

The sound of hurried footsteps rang out before the door of the room opened wide. The figure of a middle-aged man who looked firm and looked evil entered the room.

“A-Dad!”

Haven't had time to say another word, a direct hit to Daylen's face. The young man instantly bounced, smashing through the items before finally stopping when it hit the wall violently. His face immediately bruised as he vomited a few gulps of blood.

“Useful boy! The son is unfilial! Look what you did to your own uncle!” shouted Duke Zevirrius loudly.

Losing his own brother to the carelessness of his son, Duke Zevirrius felt both sad and angry. He was saddened by the loss of his brother, also angry at the stupidity of his son who was easily taken advantage of by others.

In the Black Star Kingdom, a demon who broke through a high level was rarer than the one in the Black Sun Empire. In fact, Duke Zevirrius himself was a tier 5 (late) demon and had yet to break through level 6. In contrast to the Black Sun Empire, a Duke was usually a level 6 (intermediate) demon or more.

For the Zevirrius Family, losing one of such high-level demons was a huge loss as it was extremely difficult for a demon to break through the shackles of a level. Not to mention, the strength of the Zevirrius Family was second in line to the rear compared to the other dukes in the Black Star Kingdom.

After the death of his brother, Duke Zevirrius realized that their family became the weakest among the dukes in this kingdom. Moreover...it was all caused by his own son! The figure he thought would be a good family successor!

Duke Zevirrius seemed to deeply regret the decision he had made.

...***...

A few days later, Ciel finally returned from Greenscale City.

After bringing Deschia into his stable, he who was heading towards the main building of the castle stopped two girls. They are Flora and Fiona.

“What's up?” ciel asked with a bored face.

Ciel was quite exhausted after the trip. The young man was not in a good mood. But since it might be important, he took the time to talk to both of them.

“Say something, Sister.” Fiona hid behind Flora while whispering.

Meanwhile, Flora who was originally very ‘excited’ to say many things to Ciel instead sculpted. In front of the real figure, his brain suddenly went slow, many things he wanted to say suddenly disappeared from nervousness.

“I ... ah! There's nothing, sir. Welcome back. You must be tired.”

Looking at the dazed-looking Flora and Fiona who was looking at her brother with a dumbfounded expression, Ciel shook his head lightly. He finally just thanked her before finally leaving the two.

Without looking at the clock, Ciel immediately took a bath and lay on his bed after changing into a casual outfit. No matter what, he wanted to use today to rest and let go of his fatigue.

Just a few minutes into her eyes, Ciel felt someone enter her room. The man came in from the balcony. Not to mention, there was no killing intent. Ciel had guessed that it was Isabella.

At first Ciel was a bit shocked, but after several times feeling Isabella infiltrate his room, he got used to it.

“If you continue like that, maybe your beautiful little fiance will die of illness or suicide, Mr.”

Listening to Isabella's seductive voice, Ciel immediately opened her eyes and sat on her bed.

“Ariana? What's wrong with him?” ask Ciel.

“You can see for yourself in the library, Mr.”

“Ugh!” Ciel ruffled her hair with a depressed expression. He then glanced at Isabella. “I'll change clothes. You can go!”

“I don't mind seeing ... I mean, this slave instead wants to see it, Mister!” isabella said with a smile on her face.

Ciel was instantly dumbfounded. For some reason, ever since she returned from the city of Greenscale, Isabella has become bolder. He frowned while looking at the woman.

“Out.” Ciel said coldly.

“According to your order, Mr.”

Seeing Isabella leaving, Ciel let out a long sigh. She then changed into a simple outfit but looked elegant if paired to him. The young man then walked out of the room towards the library.

Arriving at the vast library, Ciel looked around and finally saw the figure of Ariana reading a book near the wide window while occasionally looking at the outside scenery. This time, he was seen alone without any two maids behind him. Looking at that figure that did not change his face, Ciel let out a long sigh.

Through a short observation, if observant, everyone can definitely see that Ariana lost her weight. Although a little, it could be quite severe because the girl had only moved to Black Lily Castle not too long ago.

“It turns out you are here,” greet Ciel who approached Ariana.

Seeing Ciel's arrival, Ariana immediately stood up and bowed politely.

“It turns out you've come home, darling. Forgive me who is useless and not at the door when you come.”

“It wasn't your fault. In Black Lily Castle, since I often come and go, I did deliberately make the knights not make any announcements. After all, it was too troublesome.”

“But it's my duty-”

“Quite,” cut Ciel while shaking lightly. He then looked at the book on the table then was stunned.

There is a book called ‘Red Hunting Hood’. The book is not about a little red-hooded girl who goes to her grandmother's house and meets a wolf. However, it has a slight resemblance.

Red hooded girl. The figure of an innocent and kind girl. When he came home, he was shocked and hysterical after seeing the whole family of his father, mother, sister, and grandmother being killed sadistically. After her grief, she decides to find out who the killer is.

Finally, the girl went on an adventure while training herself. The story ends with a bit of horror. The girl realized that the killer was a Werewolf clan. He also realizes that his father is a Werewolf who is considered a traitor.

The girl finally went to the Werewolf clan and committed a massacre. The reason Ciel said there are similarities is because there are similar characters in the story. The girl in the red hood and the wolf. Yes, although the story is much different.

Ciel once again glanced at the book then looked towards Ariana who did not change her expression.

This girl ... she wouldn't think of doing such a crazy act of slaughtering her own family members, would she?

Ciel's back suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. Since the figure in front of him had never changed his expression, he could not guess what was inside the girl's head. Ciel suddenly felt a hidden threat.

Actually .... What do you think, Ariana?
