The Useless 8th Prince

Noblesse Hunter

In a room that was still intact in Jade Water Castle, two people sat facing each other. They are Ciel and Duke Raevern.

Looking at the figure who had the same level in front of him, Ciel was now not 100% sure of defeating him. They might be both level 6 (early), but .. Duke Raevern obviously had more life experience than him.

Perhaps this so-called greenhouse flower is unable to withstand the wind?

Damnit damnit! I'm pathetic.

Already not too depressed, Ciel just felt himself too careless and stupid. Now he is more self-aware. The young man thought, he can stand on his own feet with the power of level 6 (early). But he was wrong, not to mention hearing information from Duke Raevern.

“You mean ... the leader of this attack is not Aragil?” ask Ciel astonished.

“Aragil is indeed one of the 13 generals and is considered strong. It's just that, from what happened with the Jadeline Family, we suspect it was done by another general .. Celeval.”

The expressions of Duke Raevern and Ciel became heavier. Both have seen the bodies of the victims of the Jadeline Family. Everyone, including women and children, was killed in one attack. Straight cut on the neck.

Duke Raevern said that the sword technique of this person named Celeval was very powerful. Each piece was really well done. It's just, that person had a strange hobby.

Yeah, if I met him, he wouldn't behead me, would he? Aragil said, Curses of Shadow is still afraid of the anger of Father or Grandfather.

“Celeval this ... is it stronger than Aragil?”

“Rather than stronger, it could probably be said to be two or three times stronger.”

Duke Raevern smiled bitterly. From his expression alone, Ciel knew that the person in front of him was not sure that he could defeat Celeval.

Ciel felt his view of the world changed. The world he thought was dangerous, but could still survive. The world looks very dangerous, the possibility of death is everywhere.

“You really didn't see that person, Celeval, Prince Luciel?” ask Duke Raevern.

“No. I think their leader is Aragil. I fought him, and ... lost.”

“You have not lost at all, Prince Luciel. From the information, I heard that the Curses of Shadow always killed their enemies. You survive, meaning the fight is considered a series or balanced.” Duke Raevern said sincerely.

“...”

Ciel was silent. Only he knows he lost. The young man did not bother to say it and kept it in his heart. Instead, he had to think of ways to increase his strength. Not just to take care of the territory and its troops.

“By the way ... you said, you managed to break level 5 (end) when fighting with Aragil, Prince Luciel?” ask Duke Raevern.

“En.” Ciel nodded lightly. This is one of the reasons he prepared.

Looking at the figure of Ciel who was only nearly 16 years old but had a level one level below him, Duke Raevern breathed in a breath of cold air. Compared to the figure of the First Prince or the Third Prince who was predicted as a new Emperor candidate.

“About that information ..."

Hearing Ciel's voice, Duke Raevern awoke from his daydream. Then he smiled.

“Of course, Prince Luciel. After copying all the information we know about Curses of Shadow, we will send it to Black Lily Castle.”

“Thank you.”

After speaking a few words, Ciel stood up. The young man gave a polite greeting before turning around to leave.

Looking at Ciel's shrunken back in the distance, Duke Raevern could only let out a long sigh.

...***...

By the time Ciel rested in the inn for two days, news of the attack on the Jade Water Castle spread rapidly. Not just around the Jade Water area, but all the way to the entire South Duchy.

Of course, in order not to spread terror, the news was slightly changed by Duke Raevern.

“Indeed. Damnit damnit! That dangerous organization!”

“Iya. Fortunately, there was Prince Luciel. Despite being famously crazy, he still fights for his people.”

“Betul! I heard he had a one-on-one duel with a General from the ferocious Curses of Shadow.”

“Sial! Had Prince Luciel been a few years older, surely the result would not have been such a draw!”

“Isn't Prince Luciel amazing? Too bad, the Jadeline Family completely collapsed because it was not just one General who attacked.”

“Really? I just heard the news. So, arguably, Prince Luciel is stronger than a Count?”

“I heard he was Prince Luciel as strong as the great Marquis. Prince Luciel is a level 5 (medium) demon!”

“Wow! Absolutely insane! Doesn't that mean he's as strong as the First Prince?”

“But of course. Prince Luciel is still lacking in terms of experience ..”

“...”

Such discussions happen a lot in the streets of the city. Almost the whole of South Duchy talks about that.

At Black Lily Castle, Ariana was sitting quietly in Ciel's study. Not just her, but Camellia as well.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

“Log.” Ariana said calmly.

The door opened, the figures of Flora and Fiona went inside. They both look pale.

“What's up?” ask Ariana.

“Putria Ariana ... Sir .. Sir got an attack on Jade Water Castle!”

The room immediately became quiet. Ariana put the quill pen to the side and took a deep breath. While Camellia was not that calm, she kicked the table with an angry expression.

“Don't talk nonsense! You clearly know, our Master is a powerful demon! He definitely won.” Camellia said with certainty.

“From the news, we heard that Mister could barely repulse his opponent. But it ended in victory.

From the news, we heard the enemy of the Master is a General ... of the Curses of Shadow.”

Ariana looked straight at the two girls. Unlike the Black Sun Empire, it was still safe. The other kingdoms around understood how the terror of the Curses of Shadow was.

After all, unlike in the Black Sun Empire, in the surrounding Kingdoms. So ... The strength of some Generals of the Curses of Shadow was similar to that of a Duke in the Black Sun Empire or a King in the surrounding kingdoms.

Indeed, not all Generals of the Curses of Shadow were level 6 demons. Even if most of the Generals were at level 5, it was already illustrating just how terrifying that organization called Curses of Shadow was.

Merely, no one would have expected that the organization would actually start daring to act within the Black Sun Empire.

“Do you know something, Ariana?” camellia asked nervously.

“Iya. The organization of the Curses of Shadow was arguably very powerful. It's unclear what they're looking for. It's just that, in the Black Star Kingdom or any other kingdom, they have another call.”

“Other calls?” camellia asked with a puzzled expression.

“Iya. They are often called ... Noblesse Hunter.”
