Legend of Eudemons

Corban III summoned them in a conference room next to the front hall. The political hall that Brooklyn had previously used to declare victory had been scorched by white birds and hadn't been repaired yet.Seven or eight phantom beasts stood guard at the door, including the ones standing behind Kotlaka before. They all tensed up and saw Shiratori looking at each other in blank dismay.Salad junipers are also there, but much more casually.I saw them coming over and waving at them, lip-syncing "I'm having a very serious meeting."

As soon as you enter the door, the atmosphere is solemn and the posture is dignified.Everyone gathered around the huge conference table, with Corban III sitting high in the middle, Kotlaka, the existing assistants, that is, the princes and princesses who had already "in charge" were all there except Antonio and Rococo, and they His mother: Queen Auraloga, Luo Jie and Princess Somerma.There are also several nobles who seem to be of high status, and the first one who bears the brunt is Kaner's cousin, the Grand Duke Chris. Speak to Sir Van der Ven.The rest of the white birds have no impression.It seemed that everyone had been discussing for a long time before they came, and they were already long overdue.Seeing Shiratori coming in with Kena in his arms, everyone was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly fell silent.

"I'll send you here." Amy withdrew without hesitation after finishing speaking.

Everyone's eyes were still focused on them and they didn't move, and there was no movement.Shiratori ignored them, put Kena on the nearest chair, and sat on the chair next to him, very relaxed, crossing his legs: "What's the matter?"

"Why do you walk in like this...how decent!!"

Sure enough, it was Kotlaka who first made the point.Brooklyn had someone knock her unconscious before, and it seemed that there was no major damage, and she was still full of energy when she yelled.I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel that she is more courageous than usual, maybe it's because of this fire that has been simmering.

"The little prince is inconvenient to walk." Shiratori wrote lightly.

"Why is it inconvenient to walk?" Before Kotlaka finished speaking, Luo Jie rushed to ask: "Could it be that he was injured?"

As expected of a real mother, I started to worry immediately.

"I fell off the bed." Kayna said nonsense with ease.

"How did you fall?"

"What else can 'fall' be like, just a snap." Kaina shrugged his shoulders: "It must be because I was too nervous yesterday. It's no big deal."

Luo Jie looked at Kena affectionately, and then looked at Shiratori.

"It's really not a big deal," Shiratori said. "It's not broken. It's just a little stretched..." He said a little guilty.

"Did you not take good care of him?"

"I'm not omnipotent, and he's not a baby. Can I hold him, walk, eat and sleep all day? Is it my fault that he choked on drinking water?"

...Although this matter is indeed his reason.

Unless he is crazy, he will tell Luo Jie and these guys.

Luo Jie showed a very dissatisfied expression, but didn't complain.Shiratori's current appearance is too intimidating, and it is Shiratori's credit that the palace was not taken by Brooklyn before. Even if she has any dissatisfaction, it is not as important as that matter, and she can always hold back.

Dalony interjected embarrassingly: "Didn't you just walk with him in your arms?"

His arms were still dangling, but he was in good spirits, as could be seen from the golden glow on his face, winking mischievously at them.

"I was talking about when he was very healthy. Not now." Shiratori knew he was messing around, but still answered seriously, "Is Huiyue still awake?"

Delloni shook his head, his face darkened for a while, but he returned to normal immediately.Then Kotraka coughed.

"Speaking of which..." She pretended to cough and said, "I heard some bad rumors today."

Shiratori raised his eyelids: "What? Huiyue won't wake up?"

"It's not about Huiyue! It's about you!!"

"Then why did you start with 'speaking of this', we just talked about Huiyue."

Kenner and Deloney both snickered, and Juliette and Farman couldn't help laughing at how calmly he dealt with Aunt Kotraka's meanness.

"This morning, the female officials gathered together to discuss something. I felt strange. After asking, I found that they were all discussing things about you and Keina."

As soon as she mentioned this, Luo Jie's expression also changed.Oraloga looked serious too.As the king, Corban III has the highest right to speak here, but he neither speaks nor stops him, letting it develop naturally.

"What's the matter with me and Kaina?"

Shiratori's face was calm, but he remembered that when he came over, the female officials were hiding in the distance and chirping, discussing some very problematic content.

"You and Kayna seem a little too close."

Shiratori and Kaina are both a thriller.Shiratori was shaken for a moment because he reflexively remembered what happened last night and the promise he had made with Kena this morning, but he immediately regained his composure.Kaina felt strongly shaken.Originally, his physical condition was not very good today, and he suffered mental shocks one after another in the morning. In his current state, he was already easily affected.

"I'm an assistant officer. Is there anything wrong with having a good relationship with the little prince?" Shiratori said calmly, with the same indifferent smile that he always had when facing the royal family. "Is it better not to speak at all?"

"It's not like that..." Luo Jie said, "It's good that you have a good relationship, but it's too close. It's not in line with etiquette, it's not appropriate—for example—to come in with Kena in your arms like just now, It’s just that no other assistant officer can do it.”

Kaina couldn't help but think of when Shiratori and him first met, Luo Jie came over specially at night and asked him to find a way to "get" Shiratori.Hmm...now I "get it"...uh...

But she would be pissed off if she knew.

I only heard Shiratori say lightly: "That's because I care more about the prince than I care about etiquette, rules and other people's eyes. Because the prince is extremely important. "Officer" or "auxiliary officer with correct etiquette", my heart for the sake of the prince is far better~~ to the point where I have no spare energy to pay attention to those redundant tasks."

Keina nodded in agreement.Shiratori would not be ambiguous at all if he argued forcefully.You obviously think something is wrong, but you can't find fault with him.This is a serious statement. If you insist on saying that he is wrong, it is tantamount to saying that Kaina is not important.

Juliette and Deloney exchanged an amused look.There was sudden applause in the conference room, and it turned out that it was Chris who was applauding: "It's amazing! Isn't this kind of feeling of doing everything for the master's sake more important than anything else?"

"That's right~! The little white bird said it well~! The mirror of the assistant officer~!! Ah~ Although it's not a 'little' white bird now." Dalony echoed with a smile, he only had one hand to use, Naturally, there was no way to applaud, but it seemed that he really wanted to do that.Even Corban III turned his face to the side and smiled.Of course he knew that Shiratori was deliberately speaking brightly in order to refute. In fact, the real reason was probably just because Shiratori turned a blind eye to the rules.

"Okay, let's forget about it." Auraloga came out to smooth things over. "However, we have heard a lot of rumors among the female officers, and it is inappropriate to speculate on the relationship between you and Kaina."

"There is a lot of speculation in the world. Even if the people who are guessed are not actually doing anything. There are people who are guessing that you are all doing bad things where you don't see it, the royal family. Palace scandals are the most popular among ordinary people in any country. The truth is not important."

"Because my appearance is rather strange, the female officials may discuss it. When they feel that it is not new, they will shut up. Being a female official in the palace is also very boring, and I don't have much chance to see the world. It's a big deal, everyone. It would be a surprise."

This is certainly very reasonable, but the actual purpose is to divert attention.Among them, Kenner, Juliette, Delonie, and even Farman all understand it.The four princes and princesses winked at each other.

"That's not the case!!" Kotraka roared, "It's because of your usual inappropriate behavior that they make unreasonable comments. We have heard very inappropriate rumors!"

Shiratori waited for her to say something inappropriate.

"I asked! It is said that you even sleep together at night, but is it true?" It seems a bit difficult for Grand Duke Kotlaka to say this. She seems to have made a lot of ideological sacrifices, saying When he came out, his facial features were out of shape.

Kena couldn't help but patted the table: "Who said that?"

"That's what the ladies say."

Keener wasn't content with half-baked explanations: "...someone had to say it in the first place."

"It is said that the female officer in charge of taking care of you first reported it."

Kanna and Shiratori looked at each other.Amy is an experienced female official with a sense of professional honor, while Kelly doesn't talk much, no matter how you think about it, she thinks it was Margaret who said it.Because I saw the shocking scene this morning, I probably spoke out to the other female officers in a moment of excitement.This is the expected situation.

Both of them made a sighing expression.This is not a good excuse.No matter what, it's too inappropriate... Even though they've done it since the first day they met, neither of them think it's a big deal, and it's a bad thing to be said in public.On this issue, the definition is too absolute, and there is no way to fool it in the way Shiratori just did.

"Seeing your reactions, is it true?" Kotlaka said with narrowed eyes.The black eyeliner made Shiratori feel sick for a while, so he turned his eyes away: "There is such a thing."

"What reason do you have to say? Although even if you say the reason, it won't change anything."

Before Shiratori could say anything, Kena raised his hand first:

"Let me say a few words here."
