Legend of Eudemons

Kena Schaffer was exhausted physically and mentally after a hard day.Even though I still had a lot of things to worry about, I still fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed because I was too sleepy.

That night.

Kaina Shaffer struggled in her sleep.

nightmare.At this time, the mind is somewhat awake, but the body is still in a dream, so it will struggle painfully to wake up until it really wakes up.

This is not a strange thing.Especially on the night of a crisis like that.Not only did he encounter crisis and nervousness, but he also heard too many indigestible things before going to bed.

In my sleep, I had wild dreams, and I dreamed of terrible things, but I couldn't wake up.He kept struggling, screaming, and finally screamed out - woke up.

"It's noisy."

The pure white boy's face appeared in front of his eyes, with a look of disgust and impatience.His silver hair shone brightly in the moonlight.

"Shiratori... at least wake me up if you're here..."

"It's annoying, don't other people sleep? I don't know what you're smoking. By the way, I'll give you some science. When you're trapped, you feel like you're screaming, but you're not making any sound. Can you Making a sound means that you are awake. Who else is there to call?"

"I know that." The little prince struggled to get up in a daze.

Still sleepy.I was so sleepy that I wanted to lie down and go back to sleep immediately.

But according to experience, this kind of nightmare is usually not over once, as long as he lies down, he will fall asleep again soon, and when he falls asleep again, he will still have nightmares.It was a painful iterative process, and he couldn't control it at all.In the past, at times like this, he had to turn on the light to sleep, hoping that a little brighter light would reduce the sense of fear, but it still couldn't be completely avoided.The little prince has a lot of experience in this process.He has a lot of experience.

Very afraid of being haunted again.But you can't tell Shiratori to accompany you, and the other party won't agree if you say it?Besides, it's too shameful for a 15-year-old boy not to dare to sleep alone.

However, Shiratori seemed to see his thoughts.

"Don't dare to sleep?" He showed a wicked smile.

Keena looked at him with challenging eyes, but before he could say anything, Shiratori pushed his forehead with two fingers and pushed him back on the bed.

"I can stay with you," he said.However, he immediately showed a mocking smile: "But, can the little prince accommodate others casually in his bed?"

"..."

Kena didn't realize it at first, and only when he realized the meaning of his ambiguous smile did he call out: "What?!"

Shiratori had already casually lay down beside her.Anyway, the prince-sized beds are big enough, so there is no problem of being crowded.Kaina was already very sleepy, but he was relieved to see him lying down, and soon fell asleep.

"King, prince!!!"

Kayna was woken up by the scream.

The sun shines on me.Originally, the broken curtains in Kaina’s bedroom were made of white gauze and lace inlaid with gold threads to show luxury. They did not have much effect on blocking the light at all.On the contrary, the main hall is a deep red brocade that can block some light.Kaina has tried to replace the bedroom with black cloth several times, but was rejected by complaining that it "doesn't look like a palace".So if you want to sleep during the day, you can't sleep well at all.

The ladies stand before them.Kaina is not good at getting up early, and it is not uncommon for a female officer to wake up every morning, but it is the first time I have seen them yelling so loudly in such a stunned voice.

"...why so loud, Margaret?"

"Prince!" Kelly pointed to the bed cautiously, with a strange expression, trying to hide something.

"What……?"

Kanna looked around, and it turned out that a white thing was pressing on him.

It's Shiratori.

Kane remembered.Not surprised.It's just that the situation is slightly different from when I fell asleep last night.

He simply slept with Kena in his arms, his long white hair scattered around him, his head resting on the crest of his neck.Kayna could even feel his breath.

Keina didn't pay attention to that, what he thought was: This guy even has white eyelashes, how strange...

Sleeping face is really cute, but when awake, it looks scary.

In fact, Shiratori is of course a super beautiful boy when he is awake, but his sense of existence is very scary.

Seeing the prince staring at Shiratori's sleeping face like this, the female officer Margaret showed an excited expression, but quickly covered her face to cover it up.Amy glared at her, took a deep breath, and said in a forced calm voice: "Prince, excuse me, how could you do this?"

"What about me?"

"How could..." She frowned and stared at Shiratori, whose eyes were still closed, and her white eyelashes fluttered slightly.

"How can... let... such a person of unknown origin... er... sleep on your bed?" She finally plucked up the courage to complete the sentence, "What a shame!"

This is indeed what Amy, who has always been as upright as a brick and the mirror of a court lady, said.In fact, Kaina also knew that this was not appropriate, even if it was not based on the etiquette of the royal family, it seemed that it was not quite right with ordinary common sense.But at this time, he didn't want to be criticized, and argued with reasons that he didn't agree with at all:

"What does it matter, he is a boy, and he is a child!"

Shiratori's real age is definitely not a child, but Amy doesn't know anyway.If she knew Shiratori's real age, she would definitely make a fuss again.

"Not even that! You are a prince—your status—"

"Ahh~ I'm so annoying." Kaina shook his head nonchalantly and covered his ears.

Amy wrinkled her nose, and Margaret and Kelly exchanged an "here it goes again" look.Amy turned her head and glared at the two of them, adjusted her breath to calm herself down, and said, "Okay, let's forget about it this time. Princess Luo Jie asked you to go over, please change quickly."

"My mother? Why?"

Although I would go to greet him every day, there is no need to call him over early in the morning.

"A gathering of the royal family." Amy said, her expression still tense, "it's about time."

The royal family's gathering is a kind of regular program.There is no fixed interval, basically once a month to two months, the princes and nobles get together to discuss some topics about themselves and the problems faced by the court, and it is also an opportunity to show off and observe others.Kayna had a hard day yesterday and completely forgot about it.No one reminded him yesterday—probably no one thought he would forget.

"Your time is short, please hurry up," said Amy.She is the oldest of the three female officials and has the longest qualifications. She has always been the eldest of the three female officials, and she has the most orthodox court lady's posture.

Kaina jumped up from the bed "in a daze", Shiratori was thrown away and woke up immediately.

"...What? An earthquake?" He said in a daze.Kayna was busy taking off his pajamas and changing into formal clothes.

"Prince, what are you going to wear today?" Margaret asked chirpingly.

"Anything." Keina said, randomly digging out a light blue shirt from the closet.The female officials took out the clothes from the closet one by one and put them on the bed for Kaner to choose. Although there were a lot of clothes, there were no gorgeous and conspicuous styles.Shiratori watched coldly and yawned.

"It's so poor!" said Amy.

"It's not just today that I've been shabby." Keina said stubbornly.He has always been an inconspicuous role among princes and princesses. ——It's useless to stand out. He is the third prince. He has two older brothers and two older sisters. Naturally, it is not his turn to inherit the throne. It is also difficult to obtain noble titles or important positions in the army.So making yourself too conspicuous will only annoy people and make you laugh at people who don't know the current affairs.

In the end, Keina still wore the light blue shirt that he took out at the beginning, and the pants were the same style as yesterday.After all, men's trousers can't be fancy.Shiratori sat up from the bed, blinking her white eyes.

"Ah, Shiratori, are you awake?"

"You just found out?" Shiratori said.

"I'm going to attend the family reunion. You can eat whatever you want in the morning, and you can tell them what you want." Kaina said hurriedly.

"Hmm~~" Shiratori narrowed his eyes playfully. "Family meeting~~"

"Are you interested?"

"Just a little curious."

"But you can't go!" It was not Kaina who said this, but Amy, who seemed more anxious than anyone else: "This is the clan association within the royal family members! Except for the royal family members—"

"I didn't say I would go." Shiratori raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

Kaina also said: "That is to say, he didn't say he would go!"

"Hmph! I still need to sleep!" Shiratori said, pulling the quilt over her body. "Let's go!"

Let's be honest.Keena has never been a fan of such gatherings.Because every gathering like this will always turn into an occasion to show off and brag about each other, and compare your own situation with that of others.His mother, Luo Jie, is the first princess. Although he is not in the top position among the princes, he still attracts some attention.His mother had high expectations for him, and the other clan members would also look at him more.But Kayner himself had no desire to compete for more visible status.

Keina shuffled, followed by three female officers, urging him to hurry up.He procrastinated, slowly, and walked for a long time even though he was only a few steps away.Finally, they came to the meeting place - the garden in front of the main hall of the palace.

Before I got to the middle of the garden, I could see a large area of ​​red and yellow roses from a distance. There was a large open space in the middle, and the ground was spelled out with stone bricks.From here, you can see another castle not far away. The scenery is pleasant, and it is really a good place for a banquet.Today is also a good day, sunny, blue sky.

From a distance, Kaina could already see that the venue was full of people, including royal children in luxurious clothes, and palace guards in armor guarding the periphery of the garden.

Everyone in the venue was dressed gorgeously, shining in the sun, like flowers competing for beauty.They were accompanied by retinues, more or less, but unlike ordinary court servants, they all wore luxurious and formal uniforms.They are all Phantom Beast Assistant Officers.Blonde hair, gray hair, even blue hair, all kinds of strange looks.Luo Jie had been waiting there for a long time, and was relieved to see Kaina coming.

Holding her skirt, she walked up to them in three steps and two steps, and said to Kena in a low but unfriendly tone: "Why are you so late?"

"I forgot--"

"Oh, forget it. By the way, how is Shiratori?"

"He wants to catch up on sleep."

Luo Jie seemed to be relieved, but her expression was still unclear.It made Keina quite depressed.

"How are you getting on with the white bird?"

"It's okay." But what Kena thought in his heart was that he had only known each other for a day, so there was nothing wrong with it.As for the fact that Shiratori fell asleep and ran to his bed, although it was not a big deal (it was just sleeping after all), he decided never to speak out.

Luo Jie seemed to want to ask some questions, but as the first princess, she had the duty to preside over the banquet. While she was talking with Kaina, several important figures had already walked towards her.

"Let's talk about it later!" She gave him a meaningful look, picked up her skirt, and went to entertain other nobles.
