Legend of Eudemons

Keena stayed in his room, trying not to think about anything.The experience just now, in retrospect, is actually the boundary between life and death.Kaina wasn't mad that Shiratori hadn't checked things in the first place.He didn't think of it himself.In fact, he should understand that he is still in potential danger now. The leader of the tomb robbers has not been found yet, and danger exists at any time.It's just that no matter what, he didn't expect to be "assassinated" so directly.Because this period of time passed so leisurely, the joy brought by Shiratori's becoming an assistant officer made him dazzled for a while.

No matter how you think about it, there is only the tomb robber.As a prince, Keina is underage, and his daily activities are only in the palace. He does not hold any position in any state agency or have any political affiliation, so it is impossible to offend anyone else.It's just that Kaina didn't expect that he would be so relentless in pursuit, and he would kill himself no matter what.

But why would he bother?When Kaina thought about it, he felt that he was no threat to the tomb robber.It is true that Kaina knew that he sent people into the palace to steal, that he wanted to steal a weapon, and that he was almost killed by his subordinates in the Ascension Hall, but in fact, Kaina had no idea who the instigator of this tomb robber was. No way. ——Even if you know that there is a dangerous person who wants to steal the weapon, it is useless if you cannot define who this person is!He didn't make a big deal about this matter, and no one else knew about it except Shiratori and his father.

It's not surprising that the other party knew him—those thieves didn't seem to be very strict in their tone. After being frightened by Shiratori, they tremblingly sent out information, so naturally they might tell the messenger about Shiratori and himself.But thinking about it now, Kaina feels that it is doubtful whether the thief leader told the truth at that time.The story he tells seems to make sense, but it may also be a pre-made line.If the main messenger had expected the possibility of the thief being caught early on, it would be so difficult to make up a set of nonsense.

A straight ray of light shone into a dark room.Kena looked up to see Shiratori standing in the doorway.

"It's so dark... you should light a lamp."

He casually lit the oil lamp on the table and sat down on the bed: "I checked, and there are no other dangerous items. It seems that the person who wanted to kill you didn't collude with anyone else to do it together. You can Take those things and play with them."

Do you want to collude and do it together...?Scary idea, but also a possibility.

"But," Shiratori turned nonchalantly, "this does not prove that you are safe now. If the other party knows that the assassination failed, they will definitely not let it go. And no matter who the other party is, if they know that you are a prince, they will send you away. To you, it means that he has no fear of your princely status at all, or is very confident in hiding himself."

"Could it be the leader of the group of tomb robbers? As you said, he is one of the guests who came to the ceremony today." Keina said.

"That's what I think. Why, do you doubt it?"

"Well, I'm a little concerned about something." Keina said, his voice was still hoarse and weak, and he slowly expressed all his doubts.

"What you said makes sense." Shiratori said after listening quietly. "Indeed, as far as we are concerned, we don't know anything about him. It would be safer for the other party to pretend that nothing happened. But sometimes this kind of person's thinking cannot be reasoned logically. Maybe he is the kind of person who thinks that he The paranoid who ruled out all potential dangerous factors may be confident in his own criminal methods and feel that he can commit a perfect crime without being detected. It is not ruled out that he originally had hatred for the royal family itself."

He squeezed his chin and thought for a while, "...No, there is also the possibility that other people committed the crime....It just so happens that today is the day when various royal family members and nobles gather, and people who did not appear in the capital in the past also showed up. Among them Maybe there are people who are dissatisfied with Corbin III or the royal family itself, or maybe it is the actions of such people."

"But you have to take a lot of risk to do this kind of thing. Assassinating a prince is a capital crime, and once you are caught, it's over..."

"Do you think the so-called criminals must be emotionally stable, clear-headed, and highly rational. It's not the world in the reasoning story."

Kaina admitted that Shiratori had a good point, and could not find any reason to refute it.But I always feel that I still have something to worry about, but I can't think of it for a while.

"...Do you want to tell your father?"

He ended up just asking this.

"Of course. Tomorrow. You need to rest now, you shouldn't be running around and tossing around." He poked Kenner's forehead with a finger and pushed him down.

"I'm going to sleep here tonight."

Although he said it with a serious face, Kena still felt a tremor in his heart.

"I will be here until I find the person who threatens you. Because the possibility that the other party will do something while you are asleep cannot be ruled out."

Kena can understand his worries very well. At first glance, this possibility seems very small, but now that the poison/drug is packed in gifts, this kind of expectation is not too much, but——

"You can't wake up if you kick you when you are asleep. If someone came to assassinate you at night, I doubt you would notice." He paused, and then whispered: "Maybe it will be the next day." To find myself lying beside me dead, covered in my blood, amidst the screams of the lady officer."

"That's really scary. Fortunately, I'm used to dead people, so I won't be scared." Shiratori said sarcastically.

In fact, it took only a day for Shiratori to move out of the Prince's room.Originally thought that the new room would be easily separated after the new room was settled, but it turned out that he came back after only two days.Kaina originally wanted to get used to returning to a person's peace, and the psychological preparation he had made was useless at all, but he felt a little relieved that he didn't need to change for the time being.Somehow, even if he was targeted for assassination, he didn't panic so much.Probably think that Shiratori will protect itself, right?

However, Shiratori didn't lie down, just sat there.The two looked at each other speechlessly, staring with wide eyes.

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"Like you said, what if someone breaks in while I'm asleep?"

"...Are you sure you can last until the second half of the night?"

"It doesn't matter if I don't sleep for two or three days." Shiratori still had a serious face, exuding an indescribable majesty.That look was obviously saying, "Go to sleep."

Kena shrank into the quilt a little bit, muttering softly: "Is there no way to sleep with such stares?"

Shiratori's large white eyes stared at him scrutinizingly.

But still fell asleep.

It can even be said that he slept very soundly.On the night of the assassination, there were no nightmares, no nightmares, no insomnia, no fear of waking up in the middle of the night, and I woke up until dawn.

When he opened his eyes, Shiratori was still sitting next to him in that sitting position, staring at him blankly with big eyes.

"White Bird..."

... You are going to scare people to death!

Kanna didn't express this feeling. "You haven't slept all night?"

Shiratori nodded.Kanna couldn't help but feel a little sorry.Although I believed what he said that it was okay not to sleep for two or three days, but it was a bit embarrassing to take care of myself for a night like this.

Being able to sleep comfortably until dawn may also be because deep down in my heart I believe that Shiratori will always protect me.

"It looks like nothing happened." He pretended to be understated.

"Yeah." Shiratori replied softly, "It's normal like every night before."

He also looks as refreshed as he does every sleepy morning.

"Eat something casually, and then go see your father."

However, it wasn't like nothing happened, and it wasn't just like every night before.As soon as he left the dormitory, he saw the anxious third female officer.Margaret had a sad face, Kelly walked around the room in circles, Amy had a sullen face, and Kaina knew it was not good when she saw her seriousness.She leaned forward and said, "His Royal Highness, there is some sad news."

"Who's dead?" Shiratori interjected, the three female officers gave him a hard look, and he shrugged his shoulders.

"His Royal Highness Delloni was attacked by assassins last night." When Amy was speaking, she gave Shiratori another hard look.But Shiratori had withdrawn his cynical expression, and hearing the news made him serious again.

Kenner was of course taken aback when he heard that: "—Is he all right?"

"It can't be regarded as all right...he was injured. I don't know the details. Now His Majesty the King is summoning him to ask for details."

Hearing this kind of thing, how could he sit down and finish breakfast slowly?Kena grabbed the bread on the table, put one in his mouth, and stuffed another for Shiratori, and the two ran out while eating.

It is of course a very serious matter that Kenna was poisoned, but only now did he realize that the matter was far worse than he had initially expected.On the way, they had already heard the female officials talking, and the guards also stepped up their vigilance.

"Delloni was also attacked, could it be a coincidence?" Kaina said while running.

"Is it a coincidence that the two princes were attacked on the same day?"

On the surface, Shiratori didn't think so, but he thought in his heart that the possibility of committing a crime against Corbin III himself or someone who had a grudge against the royal family had increased.

"He can still be called, the injury will not be too serious." Kenner said.

Both were attacked, but neither was seriously injured. ... Is this also a coincidence?Or was it a deliberate failure, just an act of intimidation...?

No, the penis given to Kena would definitely die if he sucked in a little more.It is impossible to predict how much it will be inhaled, and to what extent it will be poisoned.So it is still necessary to put him to death.It was just a coincidence that I was intervened halfway.The attack on Delloni might have also been prevented and failed. It is not easy to assassinate the prince.It is not yet known how Delloni encountered the attack, so it is still uncertain.

When they stepped through the door, Delonys, Antonio, and Juliette were already lined up.Delloni was wrapped in bandages from his arms to his shoulders, his arms were hanging, but he still had the same bright smile on his face. When he saw Shiratori and Kena coming in, he waved at them with his uninjured hand.Juliette was still dignified and serious, followed by her assistant Maria Lia.Antonio looked nervous, and behind him stood a handsome male assistant officer with turquoise hair. Keina remembered that he was called "Timer", and he was a guy with no sense of presence, because Antonio didn't value the assistant officer as much as Juliette , Always take it with you.

Among the assistants, only Huiyue was absent.

"What, this formation?"

Shiratori glanced at the few of them, and finally landed on Corban III.Seattle Fourteen and the human warrior Hinoki stood beside him, like door gods.

"--elder brother!"

Without waiting for anyone to answer, Rococo walked in in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the door, he rushed straight to Dalony, shaking his uninjured arm: "What's wrong? How did you do it?"

Rose, her assistant, walked in. Both of them were wearing dressing gowns, which showed that they were too anxious to have time to groom themselves.

"Delloni was attacked last night." Corbin III said slowly.

"Yeah," Shiratori glanced at Delloni's arm, "what a coincidence, our Kaina was also attacked yesterday. If it wasn't for reporting this incident, I wouldn't want to come here early in the morning to see your face unlucky."

At this time, he didn't forget to ridicule him, and Keina was really convinced.

Corban III's shallow eyebrows moved: "Where did Keina get hurt?"

"I didn't get hurt anywhere." Shiratori said flatly, "I was a little bit poisoned, but it's not serious, and I've recovered."

"The prince was poisoned! It was the day he was appointed! What do you want?!" Seattle Fourteen interjected without losing the opportunity.

"Is Kaina alright?" Delony asked concerned.

"At least healthier than you." Shiratori glanced at his dangling arm, and took out a white cloth bag from his bosom.It was wrapped in the fabric torn from his clothes, the same box that contained the drugs last night. "This is the poison/drug."
