The cat's reaction to being forced to attack is

.........

Elvis' pale turquoise pupils paused for a moment, resisting the inexplicable urge to reach out and scratch the chin exposed in front of his eyes, just lowered his head, and put one hand on his chest, that's all. present.

"—Your Highness."

The boy's ink-colored eyes narrowed, as if showing some dissatisfaction.

"You still have not answered my question."

Elvis lowered his eyes slightly at this moment, and his tone implied a slight restraint.

……

"……Yes."

"I am His Highness's...'fiancee'."

Hearing the young man's words, the black eyes that seemed to be looking straight into his eyes with too direct arrogance slowly lowered and moved away, as if thinking about something.

"So...you met my mother?"

The brunette youth stared at the boy standing in front of him.

In an instant, he seemed to recall the first time he met that...the beauty known as the "Black Velvet of the Empire".

He also didn't expect that it would be such an occasion to meet this concubine with many legends for the first time.

At that time, he was still a young soldier, just remembering his age, and he needed to be led into action by veterans, and his gun and sword were already well used.

Somehow the whole team got involved in a covert operation, and the seniors rescued a woman from a wheel well.

That was a beautiful woman indeed.

Her long black hair was as soft and slightly curly as seaweed, her skirt was torn, and her red lips were stained with blood. Even though she was already half-blooded, mixed with unstoppable tears, she was still beautiful.

Sadly speaking ravings.

Elvis looked down at the boy and heard him asking intermittently uncertainly.

"What kind of person is she...?"

He didn't want to disappoint the young man, but at this moment he could only shake his head and said.

"Sorry, I don't know."

Hearing the words, the young man seemed to show an expression of near-disappointment.

This expression appeared on the face of the little prince who used to be provocative and arrogant, which made people feel regretful.

The dark brown-haired youth was silent for a moment, then suddenly said.

"Your Highness, I still suggest..."

"—to cancel the 'engagement' . . . that would be better for you."

For a beta prince, the choice of marriage is often limited.If the royal family uses the beta prince as a marriage, they will allow the other party to marry oga's concubine, because beta's natural sexual characteristics are insufficient fertility.

If it is an oga prince, you can often find a better marriage partner, because very few nobles will use beta as their main wife, and at most they will use beta as an appetizer, not even a lover.

Therefore, those who generally make such a choice of marriage are actually the objects that the imperial family intends to restrain, and use such a marriage to test their loyalty.

He had no objection to the royal family's decision. After all, he was originally from a family with such a history, and it was the royal family's lenient to obtain meritorious service through his achievements.

But the boy in front of him was different.

Although it is not a popular sexual symbol of marriage, with the attitude of the royal family now rumored——

In the future, it will give him a far better future than being used as a restraint...

"What do you mean?"

The black-haired boy frowned, and suddenly took another step forward. This step shortened the distance between the two to within reach.

The neckline was held by thin white hands, and then pulled down suddenly.

He saw the young man who was suddenly close at hand narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a bit of arrogance and scrutiny in his eyes.

"Can I understand that you want to 'break the contract'?"

The light and pleasant juvenile voice is cold.

It's just that the pair of glass-like pupils with upturned eye tails and the provocative raised jaw are sharp and thin, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a cat that has just entered the growth stage.

The breath is also immature, and he seems to be able to smell the honey of His Highness's favorite dessert.

He lowered his eyes and suddenly smiled.

This smile appeared on such a cold and deep face, it would cause a considerable degree of lethality.

The shallow arc of the bait disappeared in a flash, so fast that it was suspected to be an illusion.

He straightened up softly, put one hand between his lips and whistled.

Everyone in the entire royal courtyard heard the very clear sound of the vibration of the wing feathers from far and near.

A sharp arrow-like black shadow circled down from the sky with fearful eagles.

When the raptor with a wingspan of several meters slid across the sky, even the floating clouds were swept away under the black and shiny wings like flakes.

This made even the timid waiter feel intimidated by the eagle standing there looking up——

After circling several times in the sky above, as if he had found his target, he swooped down amidst the exclamations of the crowd——

It flapped its wings with astonishing power and landed on the forearm of the brunette-haired youth, and the explosively powerful arm did not move at all under this momentum.

The sharp and swift eagle and the handsome and powerful black knight.

This scene can shake the heart of those who admire the strong.

At this moment, the young black knight only focused on the little prince with lowered eyes.

"—I give you Edgar."

The eagle chirped and flapped its wings to land on the shoulder of the black-haired boy, but this time the force was extremely light.

The boy just frowned slightly, and managed to bear the weight of the black eagle.

The young knight's deep voice vibrated in his chest like a chord, as if declaring an oath.

"from now on--"

"When I am not by your side, it will accompany you instead of me, protect you, and follow you—"

"Purge your enemies and offer my highest loyalty."

The young knight bowed with his hands crossed in front of his chest, and made a standard knight's oath to His Royal Highness.

At the same time, the black shadow named "Edgar" also spread its wings again, and circled in the sky of the royal courtyard again with the screaming sound.

The courtiers who knew the history in the courtyard were a little stunned.

What the young knight said to His Royal Highness strangely coincided with the pledge of allegiance to the royal family by the leader of the Hawke family.

And I'm afraid that soon, a message will spread rapidly throughout the royal family, and even the entire region.

- 'Elvis Hawke' presents his eagle to the young Highness.

……

"………Well."

When the black-haired boy looked up at the dark falcon hovering in the sky, his expression seemed a little dazed.

Like a little like, but also like a little ignorant.

"—Ansel."

A cold and clear bass came.

When the black-haired boy turned his head, what he saw was the older brother, standing at the other end of the courtyard.

"...Brother...?"

He tilted his head, a little puzzled, but seeing the gesture of the young second prince raising his hand to let him pass, he hesitated.

Still walked in the direction of the second prince.

As soon as he walked over, he was held in his arms by a slightly raised arm.

The back of the head was pressed gently, and the cheek was pressed against the young man's chest.

Although the boy's expression was still a little confused, once he was completely encircled and wrapped in warm temperature, he couldn't move...

From the perspective of others, it looks like he is leaning on his brother's arms very well.

"The professor said that if the documents found in the search and your question are confirmed, let you go there."

"... um... ok..."

This was the boy's slow and low voice answering with his cheek pressed against the cloth.

The young knight not far away watched the boy obediently being held tightly in his brother's arms, and did not speak.

It's just that those pale turquoise pupils kept staring at the direction of the little highness in the courtyard, and didn't move away.

At this time, the young emperor brother raised his indifferent blue eyes and met the eyes of the young knight.

"Sorry, I forgot to see you, Mr. Hawke."

The prince said in a warm low voice.

"I was the one to be rude first, Second Highness."

The black knight stroked his chest with his palm, nodded slightly and saluted briefly.

"Okay, Ansel, the professor is waiting for you."

Yanolan didn't seem to care about the black knight's reaction, but just bowed his head and said to the boy in his arms.

That voice only had a little warmth when it was facing the boy, and it was even a little soft.

The two young princes left with them from the royal courtyard.

"It's too late to apologize to you, Mr. Hawke, please follow me this way."

It was long overdue, and the servants beside the supreme ruler of the empire hurried to the front of the corridor and bowed respectfully.

The young knight nodded politely and followed behind with his long legs.

……

This time Elvis returned to the palace to report on his duties for a very short time, almost arriving on the same day and leaving in the evening.

Recently, the galaxies adjacent to the Gallo Empire are not peaceful, and the military affairs are busy, as are all the generals and generals who return to the capital of the empire to report on their duties.

At night, the emperor who had finished reading the documents and the batch of submitted military affairs reports frowned under the light, crossed his fingers slightly, and remained silent for a moment.

"So, what the waiters said is true... Ansel met that young 'Hawk' in the courtyard of Komachi—that kid even gave him the eagle?"

Walking out of the shadows, wearing a housekeeper's uniform, the polite man bowed and bowed his head in response.

"I am afraid so, Your Majesty."

The emperor's sword-like eyebrows were deeply frowned, and he held the crossed knuckles in front of him for a moment.

...he probably should have put this...

It may be much more troublesome to remove it in the future.

"Okay, back off, Ender."

The emperor rubbed his eyebrows.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The respectful man took a step back and merged into the shadows again.

The emperor raised his hand and dimmed the lamp in front of the table.

Under the dim light, it is rare to see some depressed emotions visible to the naked eye.

The significance of a 'hawk' gifting a companion eagle to another needs no elaboration.

Although his youngest son may still be unclear now.

……

When the teenager returned to his room in the evening, he placed a metal shelf by the window.

Black hawks generally do not stay indoors during the day.

It will rest on the rack on the return trip.

The next morning, when the black-haired boy was still dreaming...

The black eagle circled a few times outside the window, and stopped on the shelf in a very human-like manner. It tilted its head and looked at the young man who was still soft and covered with a quilt for a long while.

After the black-haired boy finally rubbed his eyes slowly and sat on the edge of the bed with the quilt in his arms, the black eagle flapped its wings again, made an arc from the open window, and flew out.

On this day, the young knight who was already in the armament department and was neatly buttoning up the collar of his military uniform was met by a black eagle that glided in from outside the military tent——

With those sharp claws, he quickly pulled off the bead-shaped button on the top of the collar.

With one hit, the Black Hawk flew away again amid the shouts of admiration and astonishment from his subordinates.

The black knight stood there expressionless, not realizing what his former companion eagle was doing for a long time.

...

His Highness, who was sitting at the table having breakfast, watched the black eagle fly in from the open window, and landed a small round thing on the table with its curved talons.

It circled around in front of the window, and then swept away like the wind.

The boy sat at the table, and the movement of the knife and fork stopped for a moment.

I found that the round thing that fell on the table was a...

——Brilliant button beads.

The boy was silent for a while.

It's hard to imagine that a black eagle with such a tall and mighty appearance would react to this kind of...

Childish little things interested.

However, at least it was the first item that Black Hawk brought to him.

…predatory animals are said to occasionally bring "trophies" to their owners.

After hesitating for a while, the boy took out a glass box from the desk drawer.

Throwing the round button beads in casually, the box made a light "ding" sound.
