Legend of Eudemons

It was not the first time that Corban III and Shiratori talked alone.Sarah and Kaina are both very witty and obediently get out.In fact, Kanna wanted to leave as soon as possible.He is really tired.It has been continuous since last night, Huiyue was assassinated, a meeting was held in the middle of the night, and when she returned to her room, she found it was stolen, the sudden coup d'état, Shiratori's sudden transformation, the lightning strike that made people feel life-threatening .All of this happened overnight, and now thinking about it, I feel in a trance, like a dream.Not only did he not rest at all, but he also encountered various major incidents one after another.Now it's like stepping on cotton, flying through the clouds and driving the fog, and the sky is spinning just by standing.In fact, it is normal for a person to be unable to stand up even if his legs are weak after going through so many things.When he left with Sara, even Shiratori showed a rare worried expression.He looked like he would fall if the wind blows, and he couldn't get up when he fell to the ground, and he didn't know how he got out.

When both of them walked out, there were only the two of them left, and the whole hall was very empty, and it was a bit gloomy because of the damage that Shiratori had just done.

"No one is here now," Shiratori smiled, raising the cloud water on his hand to poke: "Aren't you worried? If I just kill you like this, no one will know. You will be quiet and no one will know die."

"I won't die without anyone knowing. At least someone will know after I die. You are the last person to see me, so you will be the first to be suspected."

"It's too easy for me to escape from here. By the time they find your body, I'll have left the capital long ago."

"That's true." Corban III said, paused and said, "If you want to kill me, it doesn't matter how many people are around me? No one has the ability to stop it. If you wanted to, you would have done so long ago I did. It’s because I know it won’t make me feel relieved.”

Shiratori has hated Corban III deeply since before, he married his favorite Lian Ji, and he was not dedicated to love, Lian Ji died early.However, Shiratori knew that he was a good king - definitely not a good king, nor a "good guy", but he knew what was better for the country.If he was an ordinary person, or an insignificant prince or nobleman, Shiratori would beat him until he couldn't see anyone, even if he didn't kill him.But for a king who is good at governing the country, he cannot do this for his own selfishness.

And Corban III also knew this point of Shiratori's integrity, so he trusted him.

"Okay. No bullshit. What do you have to say?"

Still unceremonious.

Corban III also knew that he had this attitude, so he didn't take it seriously, glanced at the cloud poke in his hand, and sighed.

"Even with all that has happened, this thing can't be destroyed."

"Now there's a point in saying this." Shiratori said impatiently, "It would be fine to throw it on the top of the Pillar of Heaven in the first place. It's worrying if it's far away, and it's even more worrying to keep it by your side. ’ He paused. "Or do you want me to send it somewhere to hide now?"

"No. Quite the opposite. It will be the same as before, and you will take care of it."

"I'm starting to doubt the correctness of your decision now." Shiratori said, "This thing is too dangerous."

"It's better for you to use it than anyone else."

Shiratori also cannot deny the possibility of being found and picked up by someone when it is hidden somewhere.At first glance, this possibility seems very low.But just as they also thought it was unlikely that anyone would think of weapons hidden in the underground garden of the palace, anything could happen.Besides, it is undeniable that even if something is lost, it is better to know how and where it was lost than to lose it in a distant place without knowing it.

"It's strange to say? From the manufacture to the use of this thing, only a few people in the military have handled it except you. Is there anything wrong with Brooklyn? In my impression, he is just a secondary character, and I have only vaguely heard of it. name."

"No, Brooklyn should have been completely ignorant. Even the existence of the weapon itself... He had been exiled to the Kobowo Plains at that time, and he was not allowed to participate in political affairs. It is absolutely impossible for him to know about something as important as this.  … ...Probably heard it from someone."

"Who else knows?"

"Among the royal family, both Kotraka and Bellacris knew about it. But Bellacris only knew that there was such a 'thing'. The specific appearance, function, and use in war were not told to her. That kind of stuff doesn't matter."

Shiratori also felt the same way, "Kotekala is also impossible. That guy is simply a defender of the royal family's honor. There is nothing more intoxicating for her than the stability and prosperity of the royal family."

Corbain III is also sure. "Who in the army knows?"

"That's a lot, many people have seen me use it." Shiratori counted with his fingers: "But there are not many who know the details. When the war ended, there were only a dozen left. Now how many of those people are still alive I don't know either. He can even tell the function of the weapon—no, I think it should be 'recited', who should have taught him."

Corban III was silent, thinking about what he had said.But Shiratori himself said: "Well, anyway, he has been caught now. If you investigate slowly, you will find out, right?"

"I hope so."

"You look hopeless. You are the manager of this country, and you should handle these things properly."

"I know."

Shiratori sneered: "Speaking of which, what kind of wind is this blowing? To spare the life of the elder brother who once 'tried to rebel', such a 'kindness' that does not fit your style at all seems to be retribution. As a result, after more than 20 years, they really made a comeback."

Corban III had a serious face and was silent for a while before saying: "I was still young at that time. Even if he did something like that, I thought he was my eldest brother after all. Besides, I didn't suffer any damage at that time." , no one was injured, and no one died—now it seems that this is of course a naive idea. But at the time, I was asked to kill him like that, and I still couldn’t do it after thinking about it for a long time.”

As I sat on the throne for longer and longer, and experienced too many things, I gradually became numb, and I also knew how many threats I had to face when I sat on the throne.After going through brutal external wars and internal crises, he became a ruthless and qualified king.But before that, when I was in my teens, I was also a youth with naive thoughts.

"The years have not only worn away your hair, but also worn away your innocence and kindness."

White Bird said sarcastically.

Corban III laughed at himself: "Time does not change people. It is ourselves who change us."

"You just talk about it." Shiratori dismissed it, snorted, "You really look calm. From now on, even if your brother catches you like a piglet, you still look calm. Should it be said that this is the calmness of the king? Are you not worried that this elder brother whom you spared once took your old life?"

"Because I have always believed in you." Corbin III showed an elusive smile.

Shiratori snorted.

Both Kaina and Sarah were waiting outside the door.Corban III and Shiratori came out one after the other, Sarah followed Corban III, Shiratori and Kaina left together.

At this time, the sky is already bright, and the sun can already be seen faintly shooting out on the horizon.You can see the current situation of the entire palace more clearly.The battle caused some damage to the palace, with some burnt and impact marks, but the damage was not serious.There were a lot of blood stains on the ground, which were left when Juliette's subordinates fought the rebels just now.Keena ignored these things.

"You don't seem to have anything to say."

What Shiratori can't bear the most is the strange silence when he is with Kena.Moreover, after so many things in succession.When the incident happened, Shiratori didn't have time to explain anything to him, everything happened suddenly.He didn't even have a word of complaint after that, which was horrible.If he's crying and fussing, that's a normal reaction.He didn't say anything like this, and didn't know what he was thinking at all.Compared with children of the same age or even adults, he is too lacking in emotional expression.This is what Shiratori complained about before, the difficulty of the little prince.

"That's because I don't know what to say."

said the little prince at last.

"I'm so tired right now. Physically, mentally. I can't think of anything to ask. Maybe there's something wrong with the ability to form words."

"Really?" Shiratori just followed behind him, calmly. "Can you walk by yourself? Do you want me to carry you back?"

To throw out such a tempting proposal without thinking!Even in terms of the current situation, Kaina is already very tired, and has been frightened one after another, his body and mind have reached their limits.If you don't have to walk back by yourself, of course it's a wish.What's more, Kena has now realized his love for Shiratori, if he can lie on his chest and be hugged back by him...

Kanna's cheeks flushed slightly.Taking a deep breath, the words he said were still calm: "Don't say such embarrassing things casually. Just walk back from here, I can still do it."

In fact, this is bragging rights.He is really tired now.All the bones in my body felt like they were about to fall apart. Just standing still felt like I was carrying a weight of several tens of kilograms.Although he hadn't done any heavy physical labor, just feeling the horror of the electric shock at close range just now was very bearable.In fact, if he were to sit down now, he might be able to fall asleep sitting on the ground with his eyes closed.It was simply holding his breath.

Shiratori just saw his walking movements and the rhythm of his breathing and understood everything. "Why be brave? What's there to be shy about? It's not like I haven't hugged her before."

...It's embarrassing to say such a thing, okay?

Before Kena could complain, he felt that his body was hanging in the air, and Shiratori had already hugged him involuntarily.He still wanted to struggle to resist a few words, but the warm and comfortable touch on his chest had already drowned out all the complaining words.

Thick chest muscles and obvious muscle contours are very different from when they were children.But the reassuring feeling has not changed at all.

So warm... So comfortable...

Kenna's head rested on Shiratori's chest like the most comfortable pillow.With all the exhaustion, I fell asleep drowsily.

Shiratori walked forward indifferently, but suddenly staggered on the flat ground. Fortunately, he immediately adjusted his balance and did not fall down. The little prince slept soundly and was not awakened.Shiratori himself seemed to be greatly frightened, it didn't look like the frightened expression he would show.

--Oh no! ! !

He took a deep breath, and a bad premonition filled the air.
