The Useless 8th Prince

Just Want to Do It

Ciel then glanced towards Ariana who was slightly trembling. His expression became colder. But when he heard the host say that the show was starting soon, he chose to stay in the same place.

“We can't leave before the show is over,” Ciel said in an indifferent tone.

“...”

“No need to worry. Nothing will happen,” muttered Ciel.

Without feeling it, a few hours passed. Not covering her expression, Ciel really looked bored. He felt that boredom was unbearable. Until finally, the time for gift giving is done.

Seeing the nobles lined up neatly approaching Alexander, Ciel shook his head lightly. What is happening now can be said to be a show. The nobleman would show other nobles that he was giving an extraordinary gift or something.

A little shameless, but .. yes, that is the culture in this Empire.

“Ciel, let's also gift!” said Zack who was excited.

“You don't see how crowded it is? How long is that queue? Stand in line to give gifts? That's right ..”

“The bride is my sister, the groom is your sister .. Why should we come in line?” Zack tilted his head.

“Hmmm ... smart! Rarely does your brain work this well, Zack.”

“Hahahaha! I'm smart .. eh? Waitaminute! You say that I'm usually stupid?”

“Same as no. It's just your feeling ..”

While saying that, Ciel stood up and extended his hand towards Ariana. Ariana then held Ciel's hand before standing up. The two then walked straight towards the bride.

Zack who left himself speechless. The corner of his mouth twitched. Not yet had time to process everything in his head, he immediately followed Ciel and Ariana.

“Sial! Wait for me, Rivalku!” exciting Zack.

By the time the three men walked up to the bride, the nobles in line saw them. Some nobles started whispering.

“Isn't that Zack Flamehart, the genius of the Flamehart Family? Who is the handsome young man and the beautiful girl beside him? Looks like the young man is the leader.”

“Sttt .. He is Prince Luciel. Prince Luciel very rarely follows an event like this, so not all young nobles like us see it.”

“The Prince of Trash?”

“What's the Trash Prince? You don't know, he's not trash at all.”

“Then?”

“He is the Mad Prince! He was actually a level 5 demon! Not to mention, some time ago ... he actually burned a city complete with its inhabitants!”

“Sial! Very fierce?”

“...”

“...”

Such discussions are beginning to sound. Of course, they just whispered to each other and .. yeah, Ciel or Zack could still hear it. Both chose to be quiet.

As for Zack, he looks so serious. Pondering something, the young man muttered, “Maybe I will also try to burn down the city.”

Hearing the muttering of his friend, Ciel immediately turned to Zack with a look of disbelief.

Burn a town for no apparent reason? Really? I wonder ... why so far it was not you who was considered crazy.

Ciel, Ariana, and Zack get to the bridal venue. Ciel's brother Alexander .. and Zack's sister Leona .. both looked at the three juniors with happy smiles on their faces. At that moment, Ciel regained his senses.

Is correct. This is my sister's wedding. I was too stupid to even think about other things.

Zack's voice suddenly sounded in the ears of many people.

“Kak Leona, Brother Alexander .. Congratulations on your marriage! Not a great gift, but accept it!”

Finished saying that, Zack extended his right hand. Along with the sound of ‘Bang!’, a large wooden box tied with neat knots was seen in everyone's eyes.

Alexander looked at Leona, while the woman smiled wryly. He clearly knew his sister's rather exaggerated attitude. Meanwhile, the corner of Ciel's lips twitched. He looked at Zack with a strange look.

Damnit damnit! If they don't know your nature .. this will obviously be considered an ambush or humiliation!

Seeing the people starting to recover and the waiter who moved the gift to the side carefully, Ciel finally came forward. Patting a small bag on his waist, he took out a simple wooden box, about 30 cm long by 15 cm high and wide.

It was too simple even for the wedding gift of a low-class noble. Leona immediately looked at Alexander, confused whether Ciel hated either of the two. As for the groom, Alexander .. he doesn't care much about that. He knows the nature of his brother. Although somewhat disappointed, he was still glad Ciel did not miss the formalities.

“Sister Alex, Brother Leona .. congratulations on your marriage. I can't talk much. Yes, I wish you both the best.” Ciel said in a monotone tone.

“Thank you ..” reply Alexander when receive gift from Ciel.

Without feeling, a few hours passed. Everyone has given me a wedding. Time to open the seven selected gifts. In the end, the seven gifts chosen were ..the gifts from the Southern Duke, the three Marquis from the Central Plain, Lilia, Zack, and Ciel.

By the time the gift was opened, many people were shocked. The reward from the Duke was a precious level 5 elegant sword. As for the gifts from the three Marquis, it was jewelry as well as magic equipment for the bride. After all, they were aware that Alexander had good equipment given by the Emperor. Lilia, as sister ... the girl gave a potion ‘Tears of Thunder Birds’.

It was said that the potion was able to heal critical moments while giving an advantage to a mage with the attributes of wind and lightning. It is suitable for Alexander.

At the moment of opening the gift from Zack .. everyone was dumbfounded.

The reward was a set of expensive fiery red level 4 armor. That's obviously a very useful thing for Alex. But what made people stunned was not that, but the way the gift was wrapped.

A set of Armor was wrapped together with his mannequin. Which meant, rather than being neatly arranged, it was more like a knight statue in a wooden box. Everyone was astonished by it.

The gift from Ciel was the last and the one to look forward to. After all, it looks the simplest. Obviously, it would probably be a joke in the history of a prince's wedding.

Alexander and Leona let out a long sigh. They didn't expect much. The two opened a small wooden box and saw a gift inside.

In the box, there are 3 items. A crystal bottle contained seven white flowers soaked in a light blue liquid, a black badge, and a small box.

Alexander who took the crystal bottle felt strange. He muttered, “This ..”

All the nobles looked at each other in wonder, not understanding what it was. Yet a noble from South Duchy as well as a Marquis suddenly raised his hand.

“It seems I recognize that, Prince. Should I explain?”

“Come.” Alexander nodded.

The marquis approached then politely received the crystal bottle. Observing seriously, he looked at the seven white-colored flowers with a silvery luster. Each flower has seven petals.

“Not wrong anymore. This flower is called ‘Seven Silver Stars’. This flower usually lives in the interior of the Blackwood Forest. This flower blooms after a year of absorbing the light of the stars and moon. Not to mention ... After three days, the flowers will wither and fall.

It is usually picked when in bloom and soaked in a special herbal liquid to maintain its freshness. When opened, the aroma is very fresh.

This is very rare even in the South Duchy area. In addition, the seven petals of the flower symbolize the hope of luck.”

Everyone then fell silent. Alexander and Leona were even stunned. Pretending to cough, Alexander said, “Continue.”

“Badge this ... looks like metal but not metal,” said Marquis. “If not mistaken, the emblem of the horned wolf against the background of the crescent moon is your emblem right, Prince?”

Hearing the Marquis' words, Alexander nodded.

“This thought is very good, looks like the original badge. But obviously, this was made of Iron Wood and carved on its own.

As is known, in South Duchy, especially the area near Blackwood Forest there is a tradition to carve Iron Wood. The reason why it is named Blackwood Forest is also because this plant is found in the interior of the forest. The tree was black, strong as metal. The older it is, the stronger the wood is.

Many noble furniture were made from Iron Wood tree wood. As it gets older, it gets harder. It can also be interpreted as the hope of long life.

I myself suspect...this must be made from a branch of an Iron Wood tree over 1000 years old. Trees that exist only in the interior of Blackwood Forest.”

Hearing that, everyone was amazed. They looked at Ciel in shock. Alexander even felt the corner of his eyes a bit itchy, moved by the gift.

“Ciel, you ..”

Without waiting for Alexander to finish his speech, Ciel said with a bored expression.

“What the Marquis said is too much. Yes ... I give it just because I want to do it. Not less. No more.”
