Legend of Eudemons

That night.

A black figure opened the window and came in from the outside, moving cautiously and making very little noise.He turned over and entered the room, and closed the window again without a trace.The room was pitch black and could only be illuminated by the moonlight outside. There was only a large bed in the emptiness, and a person was lying on the bed, breathing weakly.

The visitor walked to the head of the bed lightly, stayed by the bed for more than ten seconds, carefully confirmed the appearance of the person lying on the bed, suddenly took out a kitchen knife in his hand, and started to chop at the bed!He was in a hurry, and then he was in a hurry, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, and then found that he had flown out and hit the opposite wall, the pain was as if the bones in his back were broken.

The loud noise from the impact shocked the outside. There were many guards guarding the door of the room, and a group of people broke into the door, but he was temporarily unable to respond due to the severe pain of the impact.Even trying to stand up is difficult.

"There are assassins!"

"Grab it!"

They rushed forward, and suddenly heard a voice saying: "Wait! Keep an eye on the door!"

A pale and miserable figure emerged from under the bed, a pale and petite figure.Even in a dark environment, the whole body seems to emit light.

"You are……"

"Shiratori... sir...?"

Because he is now an assistant officer of Eudemons, these guards are also very respectful towards him.The suffix adds honorifics.

"But--"

"The opponent is a phantom beast. It is difficult to deal with. And there may not be only one assassin. Maybe this is just a distraction bait. I will catch him."

The guards might feel a little strange about the situation, but right now he had a point.So one by one withdrew.

The assassins knew him too.Although he recognized it, he didn't say a word, because if he made a sound, he would expose himself.

While they were talking, the assassin had already recovered a bit, enduring the pain in his body and wanted to run to the window and jump out of the window to escape, but the white boy was so fast that he rushed forward before he could move, and grabbed his neck with his hands , so that he can't even make a sound.Not even a groan of pain or a cry of surprise.The petite body was unexpectedly powerful, and was completely suppressed in the end.No matter how much he resisted, he couldn't stop him from tearing off his mask.

"It's you?"

Under the mask was a woman's face.The person Shiratori is also very familiar with is Rose, the Phantom Beast assistant who has always been proud and blunt by Rococo's side.

Shiratori's big white eyes blinked and stared at each other.But the look is not particularly surprised.

He tentatively let go of his hand slowly, and Rose immediately punched him, which was easily blocked.Shiratori grabbed her outstretched arm and forced her back.Regardless of Rose's struggle, her tone was still flat and light: "Don't you want to say something?"

Rose snorted.

"What's there to say?"

"For example, why are you here, why do you want to kill Huiyue, and so on. Although I don't expect an honest and straightforward explanation."

Rose sneered: "Hmph, why are you here again? Still hiding under the bed?"

"I'm the one who came in first." Shiratori blinked her big eyes innocently. "Because I want to know when Huiyue wakes up - if Huiyue wakes up, maybe there will be clues to the assassin - because I thought so, I came to see him. I came in through the main entrance with Dalony's consent. Yes." He tilted his head towards the door.

Rose struggled a few times, but to no avail.His wrist seemed to be bound by a heavy steel chain, Shiratori looked calm.

"I was in the room at first. I hid when I saw you coming in. I wanted to see what you were going to do. Of course, if you came to visit him because of the friendship of the same family, there is no need for me to hide. But if that is the case , you won’t climb from the outer wall, and then turn in through the window.”

Rose just sneered, "Hmph."

"Why did you kill Huiyue?"

Rose made no answer with a stern face.That look is a pair of heroic sacrifices, the demeanor of not speaking.

"I can't draw any conclusions like this. It's just a waste of time." Shiratori tilted his head and thought for a while: "If Huiyue can wake up peacefully, he should know something? But when he doesn't know when he will wake up It’s too tiring to wait.”

As he spoke, he reached out and tore Rose's clothes suddenly.Although it was one-handed, it was like tearing paper. No matter how tough Rose's attitude was, she screamed in fright.

"Wait a minute! What do you want? That's not okay, right?!"

Kena's head came out from under the bed, his face paled with shock.

Shiratori looked back at him: "Little Prince. Didn't you say that you can't make a sound until I say yes? You didn't just make a sound, you just got out of it?"

Kaina no longer cared about that, his eyes widened: "What are you doing?!"

Shiratori turned to Rose, who was still in shock.Shiratori didn't stop tearing the clothes with his hands, but even more forcefully, tearing off all of Rose's black coat with a "hiss", revealing the skin inside.Shiratori looked up and down carefully, and Rose yelled, "What are you looking at! A pervert!" But Shiratori ignored her.

"Stop it! What are you talking about!" Kena jumped out from under the bed and stepped forward to stop it, but Shiratori suddenly said, "Yes."

"what?"

Kena was stunned, but Rose's expression suddenly reflected something. It wasn't the fear of being stripped of her clothes or encountering a pervert at all, but the expression of being found out for doing something bad.

"It is said that Huiyue once scratched and wounded the assassin who assassinated Delloni."

Kaina suddenly understood that he was checking Rose for any wounds scratched by Huiyue.Kena approached Rose, and through the moonlight, she could clearly see that her body was wrapped with bandages, and there were small pieces of patch on her body.The bandages and patches were clean and snug, and had obviously just been put on.The wound on the back was the biggest, and there were some very small scratches that were not bandaged, but some medicine was applied.

"Miss Rose is the princess's assistant officer. She has been staying in the palace and doesn't know how to do rough work. How could she have such injuries? It's just new wounds scattered all over her body." Shiratori said intentionally.

"You already knew it was me?" Rose sneered coldly.

"No. If I had confirmed it, I would have arrested you long ago." Shiratori said, "But when you came in just now, I knew it was you. Although I didn't see your face."

Kenna couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"Perfume. It's too strong. Although you seem to have washed it, it's not as strong as in the morning, but the Eudemons can smell it."

Shiratori continued: "I heard the bad news early in the morning, so I hurried over and didn't even have time to change into decent clothes, but the smell of perfume on my body was much stronger than usual. Now that I think about it, I want to use perfume to cover my body The smell of blood and medicine."

Although humans can't distinguish the small smell of blood, some Eudemons can smell it.

"Because she is a woman, no one will feel abnormal even if she wears a strong perfume on her body. ——Although Corban III ordered to check the phantom beasts in the palace, because the 'assassin' not only fights with Huiyue, but also kills Huiyue. Cut half to death, such a ferocious impression, people subconsciously thought it was done by a man. So I didn’t check the female Phantom.” He laughed mockingly: “What a mistake. I said earlier that gender discrimination is not allowed. "

Rose struggled harder.She knew that the wounds on her body were all evidence, as long as the bandages were removed and the shape of the wounds could be confirmed.She suddenly looked at Kena who was standing next to her. At this time, Shiratori's force to suppress her was a little lighter, and she suddenly threw herself on Kena. She almost exhausted all her strength at once, and finally got out of Shiratori's hands. broke free.After breaking free, he immediately restrained Kena, supported him with one hand, and pinched his neck with the other.He didn't use much force, but it was obviously the intention of Shiratori strangling him to death if he dared to take a step forward.

"Why is Your Highness Keinard here? Yes, you are worried about his safety, so you take him with you wherever you go. It was no exception when you visited Huiyue. Just now you let him hide under the bed, unless you feel safe It’s a pity, a pity, His Royal Highness came out by himself. Isn’t this counterproductive? It’s not safe to keep it with you.”

Seeing the reversal of the situation, there was pride in Rose's eyes again.Shiratori sat there without moving, staring up at her with big white eyes.

"Using the prince as a threat is a good method. But when can it be used? Even if I let you go, now that I know your danger, you can't escape from the palace."

"Hmph...does the complexion not change? It's really annoying, the unpredictable white eyes... Are you confident that you have the ability to save him? Or do you all have that complexion?"

"Well, our family is extinct, so I don't have any reference to confirm. As for me, I have always been praised as having a lively and cute expression."

What are you talking about with rich, lively and cute expressions?The situation is so critical, Kaina no longer has the mood to complain.But Shiratori still looks so calm, he should have a solution, right?

Shiratori shook her head and stretched her neck.Then Kaina felt himself weightless for a moment and fell to the ground.When I came back to my senses, I realized that it was Shiratori who knocked Rose away, and Rose let go of her hand, so she fell down.Before he could react, a bluish light suddenly came out from behind, lighting up the whole room.The sound of electric sparks is Shiratori's lightning!

When Keina and Shiratori met for the first time, he made an exaggerated appearance right after the lightning, and he had demonstrated it to Keina before.He hadn't used it for a while, and Kaina almost forgot about it until he used it.The amount of discharge this time was quite large, and Rose fell down all at once without even a trace of resistance.

Shiratori picked her up from the ground.Kena spoke slowly this time: "...you didn't kill her, did you?"

"Of course. There are many things to ask her."

"But..." Kaina took a deep breath: "You are really powerful. You knocked her out in an instant. As a hostage, I was unscathed."

Shiratori had an air of "You just know?".He reached out and touched his head as a comfort, and said softly, "To report to King Corban III?"

"I ask you something."

Shiratori tilted his head and stared wide-eyed: "Say."

"When you said you were going to visit Huiyue, did you expect this kind of thing to happen?"

"Well~~~" Shiratori pretended to think for a while, "Yes. Although I don't know who the prisoner is, I probably want to silence him in order to prevent my identity from being leaked. You need to hurry up to make up the knife, because you have to Hurry up before Huiyue wakes up. I guess she's very anxious during the day, but it's not easy to do it during the day, it's too strict. Maybe she will come over to do it in the nearest night. So I ran over to take a look." He paused After a while, his eyes pointed to the door: "Although Corban III sent a lot of guards to guard, but a few human soldiers are of no use to Eudemons? The reality is that she came in through the window from the outside. Waiting for her to be silent Finish the work and escape without any interest, and the guards outside the door will not notice. The next day, only the body of Huiyue who was suddenly hacked to death in the room will be found."

"Yes." Kane replied with a wry smile.

During the day, I was obviously talking to myself about some irrelevant things (in fact, it was not for Keina), when did I start thinking about this matter?Did he already think of it when he came back from his father?
