Charles has no idea about time.

Because the dead never has a concept of time.

If you die once, you won’t die a second time.

That's what the father who made him hate said.

But since Charles realized that his heart was no longer beating, he lost a hot heart and became cold.

That is, the so-called three none.

The dead still have their own thoughts and are able to move freely. This kind of thing is an extremely evil thing in the world.

There are many adjectives in this world for his existence.

‘Zombies’, ‘Undead’, ‘Forgotten’, ‘Dead’… etc., no one is a good adjective.

Shales still disagrees because he looks much better than those zombies who hate bloody appearance. In addition to some more needle-and-thread wounds on his body, at least he looks like a normal person.

But the undead still has some differences from humans.

"Prince Charles! You are pushing us to the opposite side of Xingye! As a member of the royal party, there is no need to take the blame for the Duke's people!"

In the midnight moonlight, Cornet Foxcher, who is over sixty years old, chatters over Charles' bold moves during the day.

Shales held a teacup in his hand and a book in his other hand, looking at the old housekeeper, looking at the old housekeeper's complaints expressionlessly.

As a company with Charles, Connett, who almost watched Charles grow up, he possessed all the skills that a loyal butler could do, such as preaching.

"So, the guardian knight ceremony of the Princess of the Star Night tomorrow is the best way for us to gain the trust of the Star Night." Cornett could only think of this method. The influence of the Yunduan Empire's royal family was low, and the real power had long fallen into the hands of those ministers. As the prince, Shales was undoubtedly the most conspicuous target.

They were forced to seek shelter when they came to Xingye, but what Charles did during the day completely rigidified the relationship between Yuntou and Xingye.

Even though the Starry Night Queen herself doesn't seem to care much about it.

But Connet, who thinks he is experienced, has already noticed it! The current situation is very dangerous.

"The Queen of Starry Night seems to agree with you in the Royal Girl's Guardian Knights selection, so please be sure to win the championship tomorrow... That, Prince Charles? Are you listening to me seriously?"

The old butler was a little dissatisfied with Charles's ignorance, but this time, Charles lost the opportunity to talk to the butler forever.

But not long after, the old man's chest was stained with scarlet blood, and a long sword pierced his chest from behind. Under the moonlight, the blood became particularly weird!

"Prince... Your Highness... Go quickly!" The old butler widened his eyes, unable to believe that death came so quickly. Even at the end, he was still worried about the safety of the prince, but human life was fragile. The old butler fell to the ground and turned into a cold corpse.

Shales looked at the old housekeeper who had been with him for twenty years and had been dedicated to raising him from childhood and died in front of him...

He... couldn't cry.

His chest was so uncomfortable that it was suffocating, but he couldn't cry. He couldn't even feel angry at the murderer who killed his housekeeper.

He just silently watched the corpse falling into the lawn. Then, Charles turned his gaze to the murderer who walked out of the shadow. He silently put a piece of candy into his teacup, and the red crosses dripped on Charles' pale skin, which was very conspicuous.

"Your Highness, I feel relieved when I see you are still so safe."

The figure walking out of the shadows, without concealing his appearance, his old face, and his gloomy and terrifying aura, is not a good person no matter how you look at it.

But what is undeniable is that he is Shales' uncle...

It is also the prince who owns a territory after the Yunduan Empire.

Although his status was second only to that of the king, in fact, the real power he had had had had long surpassed that of the king. He ruled the affairs of the Yunduan Empire, relying on his own rights to act arbitrarily and was dominated by something called desire.

And now, for greater power, he found Shales.

Charles didn't say anything, he just put another piece of candy into the coffee. The original piece of candy that had not yet been completely melted was superimposed with which new candy.

"Have you learned to listen to your elders yet? Shales!"

Seeing that Shales was focused on the cup of coffee, as if the sugar blocks were far less important than the person in front of him, the prince angrily pointed his sword on his neck.

The sword blade was extremely cold... but Shales seemed to have not noticed the sword blade that was about to cut off his throat, and continued to add sugar cubes to the black tea.

"Is this pain still unaware of you?" The prince pressed against Charles' neck, and scarlet blood was spilled out of his pale skin.

"What does pain feel?" Charles put the third piece of candy into his black tea cup and looked up at his uncle: "What does sweetness taste? What does sadness mean? Is killing really fun? What's going on if you die?! I don't know these."

He forgot that the boy in front of him was a freak! He had been a freak since he was born. If he had not had superhuman talents in swordsmanship and forging, he would even think that the only prince in Yunduan was an idiot.

But now it seems that it is indeed the case.

"Forget it."

He gave up threatening him with such boring things, and instead threw a record crystal to Shales.

"You seem to have lost something important."

“…”

“I know where it is.”

"The price." Shales' gray-white pupils flashed with a shaking light.

"It's just a small proposal, the little... the things that come from the arrival are always so interesting, let alone living. This is the information I have worked hard to investigate. As my nephew, can you help me?"

"oh."

Charles' answer still remains unchanged.

"All things that should be prepared have been prepared, and you will complete the rest." After he said everything, his figure disappeared into the darkness.
