The cat's reaction to being forced to attack is

……

Well, apart from usually hovering in front of his window, the eagle will return to its original owner, and this time it also brought a letter.

The young His Royal Highness took some time to accept the reality, thought carefully for a while, and wrote a reply on the letter paper with his lips pursed.

Very short.

But just writing a reply to this letter made the boy's ears unnaturally warm for a long time.

In the end, he sealed it hastily and put it on the table, and walked out of the room.

……

When the young knight saw the black eagle again in the military camp, it was when the military affairs meeting was over, and his peers and subordinates were chatting at the same table for fun.

The repeated topics of the soldiers are only those few, the rebellious army, the interstellar pirates, and more are **.

Elvis often doesn't take the initiative to join the topic when chatting, and usually seems a bit dull.

However, his colleagues and subordinates are also familiar with his temperament, which is generally commonplace and not surprising.

People in military uniforms came and went in and out of the room from time to time, making noise from time to time, so when a black eagle fluttered its wings and swept in through the window, it didn't attract attention.

This time, the eagle didn't travel every day for a week, and landed directly at the table of the young knight.

A letter was in its sharp beak.

There was rarely a hint of surprise on the black knight's cold and handsome face.

With slender fingers, he took off the white letter without haste and opened it.

There are only a few simple words on a piece of letter paper, with smart handwriting and clear fonts.

'...Today amnesty.

—Anzel Gallo'

The young black knight pondered over the words for a moment, and suddenly covered his forehead with one hand, a smile curled up on his lips.

his……

...Your Highness.

When reading this line, it seems that the young little prince raised his petite chin like a cat, with an awkward and arrogant appearance.

The young black knight is extremely rare, and the shallow upward arc disappears in a flash, and it really stunned the subordinates who accidentally noticed this side for a while.

—what's the matter?Neighboring rebels retreated?

— Or are the pirates extinct?

Otherwise, how could they see their superior... laughing like that...?

……

After this morning, for some reason, the black-haired boy found that when he seemed to be disturbed by the hallucinations and dreams as usual, there was an abnormal sensation under his skin, and he felt a lack of contact with the temperature.

Sim Mo finally had no resistance, and lay limply on the sofa next to the fireplace.

At this time, he put his arms on the guardrail on the second floor of the castle and looked down. It was rare for him to have a clear view of the castle hall where he often stayed.

It doesn't look like what it felt a few days ago, only the fireplace is surrounded by a fuzzy mass of warm red, and the rest of the place is gloomy and cold... but the decoration of the entire castle is actually warm, just the lighting Just a little dark.

And it can be faintly felt from the perspective of looking down, compared with other traditional decorations of ancient European nobles——

The large sofa that can be sunk by the fireplace seems out of place...

The black-haired boy tilted his head and looked at him like this. The handsome and indifferent Second Prince passed by the hall just after giving the instructions.

He raised his cold blue eyes and saw the cat-like boy lying on the railing and looking down.

The two pairs of black and ice blue eyes suddenly looked at each other,

There is a big difference between juvenile clinginess and normal state.

And the young brother, who had a general understanding of juvenile habits and signs of clinginess, knew that the cat at this time was a rare and normal condition recently.

So the blue eyes drooped again, and he walked up the stairs at the edge at a leisurely pace.

The cat was still resting its arms on the guardrail, and when it saw the second prince walking up to the second floor with his usual expression, he slowly turned his head to the side, and said in a clear boyish voice.

"Brother, can you give me a horse? I want to go out of the manor."

Hearing this, the young elder brother nodded without any other choice.

Yes.

After a while, when the indifferent second prince looked down from the window of the castle, he saw the black-haired boy in simple riding clothes, sitting on a tall light-colored horse, and an attendant was holding the rein for him. .

Under the sun, the complexion is fair, the black and broken hair has a natural curve, and the curve of the face that is slightly turned sideways is green and vague, making it impossible to see clearly.

He has grown into the appearance of a young boy.

He watched the boy bow his head and say something to the waiter leading the horse, and nodded slightly. The waiter responded and saluted, and the boy rode his horse away from the castle.

……

Recently, the black-haired boy sometimes received letters from Black Eagle.

Sometimes very long, sometimes very short light-coloured notes with just one line of legible writing.

Like right now——

'Today the breeze is not dry, the morning light is warm,

reminds me of my little majesty'

The boy's pinkish white fingertips twisted slightly, and he exerted uncontrollable force, almost crumpling the entire letter paper.

He pursed his lips, and resisted the inexplicable urge to crumple the letter so that he couldn't read it.

But the letter paper is on the table, and I don’t know what to do with it. It’s not right to throw it away.

The young little prince bit his teeth like a cat, and finally grabbed the envelope angrily, opened the desk drawer and stuffed it in, then turned around and walked out of the room.

The black eagle on the metal frame tilted its head.

The young man pursed his lips, his tone was a bit childish and annoyed.

"What are you looking at, no reply!"

The eagle fluttered its wings, wondering if it understood what the young master said.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, although the boy is still haunted by the inescapable dream filled with mint-flavored white mist day by day, but there are occasional days where he will not be affected by the aftereffects—the date of receiving the letter often coincides.

The teenager wasn't sure if there was a cause-and-effect relationship, but it was always nice to have time to move freely without feeling exhausted.

That day, the boy got off his horse when he rode his horse to a green field far away from the manor.

Looking from a distance, the black eagle circled slowly in the sky ahead, singing and howling.

The young man's slender eyebrows frowned slightly, and the long time together made him faintly aware of Black Eagle's intentions.

He raised his head slightly and walked in the direction where the eagle was circling.

The boy walked along the knee-length withered grass, and the eagle whistled from time to time, flapping its wings and flying in the sky ahead.

In Yishi, the sky is blue, the sky is bright and the clouds are rolling, and the sky when there are eagles spreading its wings always looks vast and high.

The slender boy with black hair on the ground raised his pale jaw slightly, and followed the sharp black eagle track in the sky. This scene always made people wonder whether it was a deliberate framing of the scene.

The young man walked a certain distance at an unhurried pace, his black eyes narrowed slightly.

As far as the eye can see, there is a building shape with a wide bottom and a narrow top.

As you move closer, your vision becomes clearer.

It was a... tall tower.

Maybe it's because it's too far away, maybe it's because the vegetation in this somewhat desolate withered grassland is very high, but he didn't see the existence of the tower until he came here.

Sim Mo pursed his lips and continued walking towards the tower.

—It was a stone tower building.

In the modern society that is still changing rapidly every day, stone buildings are rarely seen, and often only monument-type attractions can be seen.

And this tower seems to have been there for some years, showing some signs of splendor, but not serious.

The black eagle had already stopped its sweeping forward, hovering and circling in the sky above the tower.

It seems that it was not found when it was patrolling around the castle for predation these days, and the destination of the guide was this high tower.

As the boy stood in front of the tower, he noticed a padlock on the entrance door.

The young man thought about it. He had never taken lockpicking courses in the palace since he was a child, and even now he didn't have a crowbar that was strong enough.

The adventure scenes like hidden places in rpg games encountered seemingly insoluble problems at the beginning, which really disappointed the young boys.

But just when he raised his hand to touch the lock hanging on the door, the pad of the lock fell off directly and fell directly from the door.

It seems that the metal material is oxidized and half damaged.

Sim Mo: ...

The young adventurer on the real rpg opened the door as he wished.

There is some stale smell in the tower, but it is not too serious.

When I glanced around to find the reason, I found that the window was half open, probably too long, and the window frame was not very useful.

The light slanted in, but the places that were not illuminated seemed even more gloomy and dark.

Although the stairs are made of traditional wood, because other materials are reinforced, it is still no problem to walk on the underlying materials after the wooden boards have decayed.

But the young man is not too afraid of stepping on the air, because with Edgar's size and strength, he can probably lift him up in the air... If you ask why he knows, because the eagle has tried.

The boy then walked up the long spiral staircase, going up round and round.

The height of the stone tower is not low, so the speed of advancement is not fast, and the sound of footsteps causes a clear echo in the empty tower, which makes people feel even more desolate.

It's just that for some reason, the boy didn't feel the slightest aura of terror, and his calm expression was still as if he was walking on an ordinary long ladder.

At the end of the stairs on the top of the tower, there is a small external room.

It was also locked by a metal door lock, and it fell to the ground as soon as it was touched.

It's just that after the door opened with a "squeak", the thing that came into view was...

A pale human skeleton.

The windows of this room are solid and airtight, and the decaying atmosphere in the whole room is obvious, and the light is extremely dark.

But the skeleton seems to be in danger, and I'm afraid that if it touches it accidentally, it will be shattered to pieces.

Maybe dead...dozens...no, maybe even hundreds of years.

The young man grew up in the royal family with no worries, and had never seen a dead person, so he hesitated when he entered the room.

He originally wanted to open the window to ventilate, but the skeleton on the stone bed seemed to be completely sealed in a very coincidental state, so it was able to maintain its integrity in a very meticulous degree. , the bones will be completely turned into bone meal.

The boy silently took a deep breath outside the door, and slowly entered the room.

There were some scattered papers on the stone table, and the boy saw on one of them...

Eagle emblem pattern.

He frowned, faintly feeling that the emblem pattern looked familiar, but it was not completely similar to the ones he had seen before.

He still wanted to flip the paper again to find more information about the identity of the owner of the skeleton, but when he glanced past the window, he suddenly froze——

From the top-down angle, you can see the young brother who is leading the horse in the distance, looking up at himself in front of the window.

The temperatureless blue eyes were fixed for an unknown how long.

……

Sim Mo stopped flipping through the pages.
