The Useless 8th Prince

The Coming of Autumn

After a few days, the harvest was over and autumn had come.

Many leaves in the trees began to turn yellow. Although in a special place like the Blackwood Forest was unaffected, the changes had been clearly visible in other places.

Temperatures are starting to drop. It was still hot because it had just stepped into the autumn. But the cool air started to blow. The temperature is not as hot as before.

Within the basement, Ciel looked at the scene in front of him in awe.

Ciel came to the basement to send supplies to be used this month. However, he looked astonished as he looked at the dozens of Dark Elves who looked even more beautiful due to the manicured. They eat, exercise, and get enough rest. It made the Dark Elves look better.

In addition, Ciel also gave them potions and raised them like those in the shadow division. Because .. yes, they are also hidden in the shadows and are Ciel's personal army.

“Welcome, Sir!” the women of Dark Elves said in unison.

Hearing the voices and seeing their appearance, Ciel was a bit nervous. He unconsciously swallowed the saliva. As a man, he also had fantasies. However, the young man also understood how to differentiate fantasy and reality. So he firmly held back his bad thoughts.

“Thank you guys head. You can continue what you did.”

Ciel said that while activating ‘Eye of The Lord’. Although in good looks, he also wanted to see their development. Don't want to be fooled by the front cover.

After scanning them, Ciel nodded in satisfaction. Although not many were leveling up, it was clear that their abilities improved a lot. Their physical and mental condition is also better than before.

“Delivering food to us, Mister?”

The soft voice of an adult woman resuscitated Ciel from her daydream. Looking over, the young man saw Verrona who was walking over. Behind him, Lyfalia still looked cold. But the woman did not give a hostile attitude towards Ciel.

“Iya.” Ciel nodded.

After that, the three headed for the warehouse. Ciel immediately moved the groceries he had stored temporarily in the space ring. Many grain sacks, boxes containing vegetables and dried meat, as well as some types of seasonings. In addition, Ciel brought them fruits that could last quite a long time.

Looking at the pile of food, Verrona was filled with gratitude. Compared to when she was a slave, she felt better treated. Other than her, the other women must have been treated even worse by the previous master. After all, he was the slave of a Marquis while the other was the slave of a small noble.

Even so, Verrona was extremely dislikeful of the title of slave. He and the five commanders below him did indeed perform a soul contract, but they were still arguably Ciel's slaves.

However, Verrona, Lyfalia, and others did not feel that Ciel treated them like slaves. The young man also did not have them serve or satisfy his desires even though the Dark Elves were slaves and could not refuse his orders. Verrona was amazed by Ciel's attitude.

At first Ciel said making them slaves was only because it prevented betrayal, who would believe such a thing. The Dark Elves decided to become his slaves because they felt it was the safest shelter. Although it may be ordered to ‘entertain’ the prince, it is the best choice for them.

However, after more than half a month, they were completely taken aback by Ciel's completely unconvincing attitude. The Dark Elves who had experienced the cruelty of the world became amazed by their new master. I am so grateful to have chosen this choice.

“Why are you smiling like that?” asked Ciel who saw Verrona looking happy.

“Nothing, My Lord.” Verrona shook her head lightly. “You won't be back soon, right? After all, you just showed up after more than two weeks.”

“I won't bother you.”

“You do not interfere at all, My lord.” Verrona immediately shook her head lightly. He blinked his eyes and said, “If you want, maybe I can give ‘ massage’ to release your fatigue and stress.”

Ciel subconsciously looked at Verrona's beautiful face and looked at her from top to bottom. Seeing the body of a mature woman better than the model in Ciel's previous life, the young man swallowed the saliva. However, he also cursed inwardly.

Damnit damnit! This woman is really teasing me!

Taking a deep breath before exhaling slowly, Ciel calmed down immediately. Without changing the relaxed expression on his face, he shook his head lightly.

“Thank you, Verrona. That's not necessary. This food is enough for one month. As for the potions, from now on I will come once a week to share them.

That's all I want to say. Then ... I'll be back.”

Looking at Ciel's back that was starting to move away, Verrona blinked her eyes. The woman licked her lips. A look full of desire flashed in his view.

“We await your arrival, Tuanku.”

“I think you'll have fun downstairs, Mr.”

Hearing that cold voice, Ciel who had just ascended turned his head. There, it was Elena who looked at him with a cold expression. The young man immediately smiled bitterly. He felt like a husband who was being pestered by his wife for coming to the brothel.

“How is the state of Black Lily City and its surroundings? Is there anything suspicious?” ciel asked who distracted her.

“Nothing. Looks calm.”

Ciel looked at Elena before reminding. “Do not let your guard down. Normally, after quiet ... storm will come.”

“I understand, Mr.”

Sighing deeply, Ciel felt that everything was becoming smoother now. Earlier this fall, Ciel's subordinates had done a lot.

In the Greenscale area, Jean and his friends begin to work on a drug farming plan. In the Blackrock area, Asterious and Kun had trained the Heteromorph troops well. In Black Lily City, Camellia had taken care of the Alchemists and the potion-making activities had been running. In the same city, Isabella also oversaw the development of three rapidly rising shadow divisions.

Ciel glanced at Elena. This woman was the developmental supervisor of the three normal divisions as well as watching the area while taking Lil-White flying around.

In addition to doing his duties in the workspace and accompanying Ariana in the library in the afternoon until dinner together, Ciel felt.

Efforts do not betray results, it seems that the sentence can still be considered true.

Ciel thought with a smile. But something terrible happened the next day.

Standing in front of the main castle gate, Ciel saw a familiar-looking figure in front of him.

Red hair and eyes. A handsome face filled with confident smiles. His gaze was so excited as if it was the sun in summer. The man was a young man who claimed to be a rival and friend of Ciel .. Zack Flamehart.

Damnit damnit! What is this guy doing at the southern border!

Ciel roared in heart. Hating a destiny that does not allow him to relax.

“YO! I CAME TO VISIT YOU, MY RIVAL!”

Zack who rode the red lion with a fire burning on all four legs shouted in joy. Getting off her mount, she ran towards Ciel who was still wearing a nightgown to give a warm embrace.

Instead of a warm welcome, what greeted him was a kick right in the stomach, making him drag backwards a few meters.

“AS EXPECTED OF-”

“Shut! Stop yelling! What are you doing here, Zack! Go home!” ciel said cut off Zack's words.

Zack patted the dust on his clothes while smiling triumphantly. This made Ciel suspicious.

“HAHAHAHA! I knew you'd say that! Tetaoi is impossible, Queen Lilith allowed me to come here to pick you up.” Zack took out the parchment and pointed it towards Ciel.

“Although Brother Alex's wedding is still next month?” ciel asked suspiciously.

“I should have arrived two weeks later. But who cares about that? Aren't we going to be distant brothers? Visiting relatives is not a wrong thing!” zack said with a confident smile.

Hearing that, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. His eyebrows are tightly intertwined.

Me? She's she? A brother? Ordinary family visits?

Ciel gritted his teeth.

O fate, fuck you! Don't mess with me!
