“...Nghh” Ellis opened her eyes heavily, she woke up from her sleep. He was already in the king's big bed.
Alphonse, wearing a white shirt with his brown pants. He stared at the window with a steaming cup of hot coffee “Ellis, tell me honestly who you met last night.” Ask the king to Ellis.
“Y-Your Majesty, forgive Ellis for neglecting duty and even sleeping here.” Ellis lowered her gaze “A-I met a vampire..” Ellis said slowly.
Alphonse put down the hot coffee cup, he switched his way closer to Ellis. Then sitting in the bed, looking at Ellis who was half sitting on the bed “Ellis, do you feel recognize the man?” Ask the king.
Ellis shook her head “No Your Majesty.”.
“Ellis, look at me as we speak.” The king grabbed Ellis's little chin with his right hand. She stared at that sweet face that looked so scared, Ellis who was glaring with a red hue on her face not to mention the quivering plum lips that was “Ellis, don't tease me.” Alphonse said as he approached Ellis.
“Uhm..” Ellis closed both her eyes. As if ready to be caught.
Alphonse gave a small grin, he instead pressed the tip of the plum lips slowly “Kenyal.... do you want me to try?”
“Eh?!” Ellis directly brushed off the King's hand “M-please forgive Your Majesty!” Jerit Ellis's.
Alphonse laughed, for him Ellis is very funny and adorable “Ellis, if today you still feel pain. You can rest, thanks for working well.”Alphonse said at the top of Ellis's head.
“Yang Mulia..” Ellis did not know what to answer, for him Alphonse was very kind and tolerant. Ellis did not accidentally feel dizzy, but it is not an obstacle for Ellis to continue working as an aide to the king “Thank you for worrying about people from this low caste Your Majesty, Ellis will keep His Majesty.” Ellis said as she stood up. Don't forget he tidied up Alphonse's bedding blanket.
“Ellis..” Alphonse grabbed Ellis' wrist, to prevent it “Let the waiter clean up. You get ready..” Alphonse's Order.
“Good, Your Majesty!”

Ellis was wearing the official knight uniform of the Dust Bones Palace. A clean white coat, a white inner vest, and a lily-shaped gold pin were attached to the collar of his white shirt. Ellis put on a white glove, then hooked the tip of the sword sheath on her slender waist.
“Good morning mr. Francieli.” Saya's a waiter who's about to enter Ellis' room, right. Ellis was given a private room in the palace. From now on, he will stay here, to ensure the safety and order of the king.
“Ah, morning..”.
“Excuse me, Mr. Francieli, I will clean up this room.” The female servant met with redness even her gaze lowered in embarrassment.
Ellis reached into the clock of the chain that was nailed her white coat “Ah, it was time..” Ellis spoke to herself half-run.
“A-ah...appearance..” Said the waiter staring at Ellis who had already rushed away.

Ellis lined up with the other knights in the palace hall, he stood in a stoutly strapping position. The king and Mathias were on the podium of the palace hall. The difference is that His Majesty Alphonse is now very handsome with royal official clothes, wrapped in a white suit mixed with gold. The long mane was tied back.
“Crave Rose, once again spreading terror, at this time Dust Bones will run a protocol of vigilance against threats from Crave Rose. Valiant knights and warriors, you will be given the noble task of protecting Dust Bones.”Said the king firmly.
“First-level general Mathias and his team of Flair knights will stand guard at the palace, while a team of knight troops by second-rate generals, Remington will patrol the city, third level generals will be guarding the border between Dust Bones and Crave Rose.” Alphose spoke excitedly, his obstructive gaze unintentionally striking a gaze with Ellis who was standing among the other knight troops.
Ellis was jolted by turning her face, actually Ellis has blushed perfectly “Y-His Majesty Ellis said in her heart.
The cheers of the soldiers and knights smoldering, unlike Ellis. In that boisterous cheer, he just kept quiet by heating up. To be honest Ellis' heart was beating very fast with just the look of the king.
Brucks. Ellis was accidentally hit by another knight.
“Hey, use your eyes man.” Said the knight, he glared when he saw Ellis and the Dust Bones pin that was in his collar “A-majudan His Majesty? Means he's on par with a third-rate General, General Noah Cyprus!” The knight pointed at Ellis.
Ellis, suddenly anxious “A-ah.. yes...” Ellis said as she scratched her non-itchy nape.
“You definitely don't have talent, you're just asking your family for help aren't you? Tell me what's your name?! Where are you from?” The knight asked half-stomped.
“Hey!” Ellis wanted to smash the knight, if only Mathias' hand did not hold back his advancing shoulder.
“Ellis, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the room.” Mathias said with a gentle smile.
Ellis nodded “Good, Mathias.” Even without the frills of the title from the supreme general Dust Bones, Ellis even stared at the dozens of pairs of knight eyes that saw him leave the hall.
“Robin Dante from Briar Stone village. You're in a third-rate kstaria under Remington, aren't you?” Ask Mathias.
Knight who had hit Ellis at once cornered Ellis suddenly silent “True, General.” He said while saluting.
“You should know the ability of Remington's son, right?” The smiling Mathias walked leisurely through it. Followed respectfully to every knight and soldier.

Ellis sighed, along her steps in the main corridor of Dust Bones palace, Ellis lowered her head “Ah Said Ellis again.
Bruck...
Ellis bumping into someone's big body “M-sorry!” Ellis bent her body.
“Young, it's okay.” Said the man.
Ellis gave her gaze, she saw a grown man the age of the foster father. His face did look creepy with scars on his cheeks and temples, not to mention his right eye patch. But after smiling at Ellis “Yah... long time no see, Uncle Noah!” Ellis said with a big smile.
“Wah! Ellis?! You're already a big boy... This tall? Last I saw you was just a quiet, moody kid.” The man rubbed the top of Ellis' head.
“Hehe, uncle redundant.” Ellis chuckled, indeed he recognized the third level General who was a friend of Remington “How is Poppy doing? He can walk, ah...Poppy is so cute, surely her teeth have grown.” Ellis said anxiously when talking about the general's little daughter.
“Haha... Poppy was only able to stand, she was only one year old Ellis.”.
As the two conversed in the corridor of the palace. The little boy was running after a kitten in the corridor as well, unfortunately the kitten escaped after crossing Ellis while the little boy fell due to not paying attention to his steps.
Ellis looked at the little boy “Your Majesty Victorine, yes?” Ellis said as she squatted her body with the boy.
“...K-cat.” His words were held back by tears, the little boy was already teary-eyed but prestigious enough to cry in front of Ellis.
“The kitten escaped His Majesty, want to look for it together?” Rose Ellis.
The little boy just nodded.
“Good, cup... cup... good child.” Ellis carried the body of the little boy easily, and even rubbed the little boy's back.
Noah Cyprus, observing Ellis's spirit who is easily familiar with the crown prince of Dust Bones' “Ellis, you want to meet His Highness Alphonse right?”
“Oh yes..” Ellis patted his forehead with one hand, while the other hand carried the body of Victorine the crown prince.
“Take it easy Ellis, between His Majesty Victorine looking for the kitten, your delay will be explained to His Holiness Alphonse because I will also meet him.”
“Please yes uncle... Thank you very much..”
“Sure Ellis.”
