Legend of Eudemons

Because you love her.Keener didn't say that.

Shiratori turned to grit his teeth: "That's why I have to listen to that bastard Corban III, and I have to help him deal with troubles, and help him think about things that I don't even care about—royal family, aristocrats, and politics and military affairs. Something that I avoided from the beginning. Because Lian Ji said so...otherwise why would I care about it."

He stamped his foot resignedly.

"Because she said a word, you do what you don't want to do. 'Defending the country' takes a lifetime. Because you live a long life, a lifetime is longer. You really like her ’” Kaina said flatly. "Although when I saw you for the first time, I saw that you were willing to guard the grave without any pay for 15 years, and I vaguely felt that you were a strange idiot. Compared with that time, the impression I have now really makes me feel wrong I underestimated how stupid you are."

Despite the sarcasm it sounds, there's nothing sarcasm on Kayner's face.Just bland.

"Don't look at me with that sympathetic look."

"I don't have sympathy, I just feel sad." Kaina took a deep breath and tapped his chest, "I feel sad for myself."

Seeing Shiratori's puzzled look, Kena sighed, showing a faint self-deprecating smile: "How should I put it. —— After meeting you, I feel really happy. I have never had a friend, or talked with me The person who cares about me in every detail... more than that, but anyway—very happy. Every boring day that seemed endless before was like a pavement for meeting you."

Shiratori's complexion is subtly tense, but most people can't see it at all, but after a long period of careful observation, Keina can gain insight into his subtle changes.This degree of tension is not angry, it only shows that he is thinking seriously.

"The boring days that seem endless are like a preparation for meeting you. 』

Those words brought back memories of Shiratori.He remembered that he had said similar things to Lian Ji before.Of course, the specific words and sentences are not exactly the same, but the degree of tiredness and crookedness is definitely the same.It's a silly love story to say it.When Shiratori said this in the past, he was only in his thirties, full of passion, and he did not think about what he said, and now he would not be able to say it even if he was killed.Thinking about it now, I was really nasty when I was young.

"Obviously so happy. You are willing to be my assistant officer and willing to live with me. I was flattered at first—a bit self-righteous, but because I was a child, it wasn't so ridiculous. I was very happy at the time Well," he said lightly, so lightly that the white bird thought he was going to get angry in a second, but this kind of emotion never happened to the little prince. "It turned out that I was only self-righteous. You stayed in this palace, Shiratori, because you promised Lian Ji to assist my father to protect this country. At first, you were friendly to me, but later you said you would protect me and serve as my father. The assistant officer is just a step up for you." He smiled miserably: "I realize this, so sad."

Playing jokes with him and caring for him is only part of the task, right? ——It's not that it's not done well, Shiratori did it perfectly, that's why the little prince never noticed his disinterest in everything in the world.Can you pretend to be good because you are old?

If you think about it carefully, at Shiratori's age, he has met many people and separated from many people. He has experienced many encounters and partings.Even his favorite Lian Ji left him.People who survived like this shouldn't think much of a little prince they met by chance, right?The only reason why he stayed with Kaina was because of the convenience of being an adjutant. Kaina was the least royally pretentious among the princes and princesses, so he could naturally reduce troubles compared to other people.

For the little prince, the white bird is unique.He has known Shiratori for less than a month, but the weight of Shiratori in his heart is already very important. If Shiratori leaves him, he will feel unbearable no matter what.But from Shiratori's point of view, it's not a big deal to leave him.He must have experienced separation from people many times in his long life in the true sense. Among these people, there are also his relatives and friends, and there must be people he cares about.A large enough amount that he doesn't feel much sadness.How important could the little prince be to him?Thinking of the little prince's feelings in this way is wishful thinking, which is a bit ridiculous.

"No!" Shiratori said suddenly, "I didn't use you as a springboard to achieve a certain goal. If you think so, you are wrong."

He walked towards Kena, his eyes widening unconsciously looked terrible, although Kena thought that he would not hurt himself, he took a step back subconsciously.

"I'm not very good at saying gentle words... warm words, because I feel disgusting," he was a little troubled, dodged his eyes, and slowly approached Kena, gently touching his cheek with his hand, staring at him with white eyes . "I just... like you very much, and I'm happy when I'm with you. It's true."

He blushed.The bright morning sun shone on Shiratori, and his silver hair and even eyelashes seemed to be able to shine.The cheeks that had always been pale were slightly flushed, and they looked very cute.The little prince must have been confused for a moment, subconsciously holding his face that was so close to him, and kissing his delicate lips lightly.

time passed.

"……what?"

Shiratori raised his eyebrows to look at him, but Kena himself didn't expect that he would do so, so the two stared at each other for more than ten seconds.

"Feel sorry……"

I haven't figured out what's going on yet, but let's apologize first.Kena let go of him, and when he tried to take another step back, he realized that he was standing next to the table and had no place to retreat, so he moved sideways a few times.

His chest was pounding, and even now he still thought Shiratori was so cute.If Shiratori allowed it, he would kiss it again.Realizing this, the little prince felt terrible.

The touch of the lips is soft...it feels very comfortable.If you think about it, it wasn't the first time he touched Shiratori's beak.Wasn't the last time we touched each other last night?It's just that Kenner couldn't remember the situation at that time.The touch of the lips was just experienced for the first time.

Shiratori rubbed his mouth with the back of his hand, with a calm face: "What is this? Molesting?"

"..."

"I'm talking very seriously." He snorted. "Or is it just a prank from just now?"

"I'm not you, so I don't know how to play pranks." Kena said, Shiratori twisted his mouth when he heard him complain.

"——I'm also very serious. It's just that when you leaned over just now, you were a little... maybe your mind was not clear at the time. It must be because you are too dreamy."

Shiratori responded with a look of "what's your excuse".Kenner's troubled look doesn't seem like he's pretending.

"Obviously I was thinking of saying something nice..." Shiratori continued, turning around proudly, Kena grabbed him.

This situation is like when they first met, Kena also held Shiratori's hand.The reason is that he felt for a moment that the white bird might melt into the air and disappear.

That's right, it's because he's too dreamy.

"I don't want to hear nice things from you, so tell me the truth?"

"Then let me be honest, I was thinking about how to tell the truth in a nice way." Shiratori said lightly.

"Then tell me now?"

Because the white bird didn't shake off Keina's hand, the little prince simply put his arms around him from behind, which was a bold move because it might anger him.However, the white bird did not break free.Because of his petite stature, he can be accommodated in Kena's arms, and the touch is super good.

Keina felt his body temperature and secretly thought in his heart that it was really worth the risk of angering him.

"You are more daring than I imagined. No. In fact, you are very daring. Otherwise, you would not follow a group of people of unknown origin and fall into the Ascension Hall together. You are still deceiving them seriously, Ordinary people can't do this." Shiratori showed his usual sneer, and said abruptly: "Isn't it annoying before?"

Kena was confused for a moment: "What?"

"I kissed you on the cheek as a joke, and it caused a serious embarrassment?" Shiratori sneered deeper when he thought of this, but Kena was standing behind him so he didn't know what his face was now, "We agreed Come on, I won't make that kind of joke again. This just happened a few days ago?"

In fact, Shiratori and Kena have not known each other for a long time.Even the time of their acquaintance can be said to be "just happened not long ago".

"Yesterday, I was very worried. I was afraid of what you would think if you knew that I kissed your mouth without authorization—although it was not a kiss at all from the point of view of purpose. In the end, nothing happened, and I breathed a sigh of relief."

Kena frowned: "I said last time that I'm not angry because of it!"

"I'm not saying that you will be angry, I'm just afraid that you will be troubled." Shiratori sighed softly, "I don't want the atmosphere to become too awkward... because the little prince is slender than the first impression. But one after another I didn’t know how to react when I took the initiative to kiss and hug me. By the way, is that a kiss? In the sense of kissing, is it some kind of royal ceremony?”

Kayna suspects he's playing dumb on purpose.

"Because I think it's cute." Kaina said truthfully, "Because I think it's cute, so I kissed."

Shiratori froze for three seconds, then blinked and stared at him.

"Have you been fooled by poison?"

"Maybe." Kaina replied perfunctorily. "To be honest, you don't really care at all, right?" He sighed through his nose, "The time before Huiyue was also very normal. Compared with Hehuiyue's, I am nothing at all. Just like Childish behavior of a child."

Shiratori didn't answer but just listened silently.Keena's tone sounded a little angry.

"I'm sorry... I don't even know what to say." He may have regretted saying that. "Please forget it if possible. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back first..."

He was a little dejected and wanted to go back to his dormitory.Shiratori stretched out an arm and gently stopped him, "Don't go in casually. Wait until I check."

"...It's obviously my bedroom."

"Now is such an extraordinary time." Shiratori's white eyes were still indifferent, and Kena staggered his gaze.Just listen to the white bird say:

"Everything I do is definitely not fake. You should have more confidence in people's feelings."

The little prince looked back at him, and there seemed to be something flickering in his eyes.Then he murmured in a low voice: "It's you who make people lose confidence."

Shiratori must have heard.But nothing was said.
