Valerin Grayii, on a horse-drawn carriage on his way to the royal palace of DustBones. From the window that was left open, he saw several children standing in front of a restaurant. Valerin tapped on the ceiling of the car, signaling he wanted to pause.

“Young master, why?” Friday got off the coachman's seat to get to Valerin on the train.

Valerin Grayii shook his head slowly, his sweet face put on a flat look. He went down the stairs, approached the children.

“Ah! Look at that kind-hearted master!” Excited one of the children, then followed by several other street children “Wah, old master did not come!” Their laughter greeted Valerin Grayii.

The big smiley knot of a Valyria inside Valerin Grayii. He knew, at least the notebooks of his brother had told him. About street children in the glorious city center, displaced from the attention of the nobles.

“Man, in any age remains the same huh?”

“Guister said what?”

Valerin Grayii immediately shook his head “Nothing, oh yes where do you live?”

They all shook their heads together, no more words. Valerin Grayii smiled slowly “Are you guys eating?” Valerin Grayii certainly has a different personality from the original Valerin Grayii.

“Master, are you sick?” One of the boys grabbed the tip of Valerin's coat.

“Yes, is sir sick? The different master from now is so moody.”

“Even children can feel the difference.” Valerin Grayii could only say in his heart. He also gave some sheets of money from his wallet “Let's eat.” Take Valerin Grayii into the restaurant with all of them.

Valerin Grayii's bold action became the highlight of the gazes of all customers who were certainly mostly from among the nobility. At least thanks to Valerin Grayii, they ordered three dining tables with full dining sets.

“Bring the food they ordered.”

“Good sir.”

Valerin Grayii occupied his body among the children “Eat ya, message you like after that I have to go because it has affairs.”

Friday, from then on could only accompany Valerin Grayii. He also smiled faintly, remembering the actions of the same friend as Valerin. Even though the action is much braver than the brother.

“Young master, payment.”

Valerin gave his wallet pocket to Friday “Ah Yes, please yes Friday..”.

“Good young master.”

Valerin Grayii did not blindly see many customers looking at him cynically, but Valerin tried to ignore. The girl dressed like a man was fixing her necktie that felt sultry. It's actually hot to ambush other customers.

“Tch.” Valerin.

Friday who arrived beside his young master immediately grabbed Valerin's shoulder “Better just let the young master.” Friday calmed him down.

Valerin Grayii did not run out of thought, it seems that the problems of life everywhere are almost the same. Valerin Grayii lifted his hat slightly, saying farewell to the children. They split up downtown.

“Thank you good sir!” The street children waved their hands to Valerin who was riding his carriage.

Valerin is jumping his chin, now he looks bored of the view of the road to the palace “Do I have to say this to His Holiness Alphonse huh? Like making an orphanage place for those kids..” Valerin thought to himself that he did not realize that he was in front of the Dust Bones palace.

“Young master we've arrived.” Say Friday while opening the doors of Valerin's horse-drawn carriage.

Both eyes Valerin winked funny, he was surprised actually “Oh, ah.. yes...” Valerin went down the stairs, not forgetting the several rolls of paper he had brought with him. Contains previous mission reports.

Valerin walks side by side with Friday the waiter. Even if they know the truth, but they still behave like this “I haven't had time to ask you, are Vampires and humans not hostile?” Valerin.

“It should be like that young master.”

“Are we not the same?”

Friday rounding up both blue ravens “Sorry young master?”

Valerin who stopped at a corridor was blindfolded by the glass, it was so brightly lit by the warm sun that the twinkle of its two violets glittered as the owner of the eye turned his face to Frederitch Drew Raymond, the third prince of the enemy kingdom.

Valerin smiled “We are the same, we humans also coexist with the evil and the good. Similarly, with vampires, you also have good people who can be friends with humans, right?” Valerin's sweet face became the most beautiful scenery at that time.

Friday, I had to look away for a moment. He can not see the beauty of the sister of this former friend “Young master, you are not wrong to say.”

“Thankful..” Valerin turned his body back, he stepped first “Because living side by side with vampires, not something bad.” Valerin said again.

“V-A-L-E-R-I-N” Call prince Alexander who directly hit Valerin's body with anxiety “You have a mission but do not invite me yes! Ah, why did Leon go?” The chatty prince was already flirting with questions to Valerin.

“Ah it kare—“ Valerin's remarks were held back when Friday prevented them.

Friday pulled Valerin's wrist back then “Sorry Prince Alexander. The young master had to meet His Highness Alphonse to report on the completed mission.” Firm Friday.

“Your Majesty, come here.. don't be like that to Earl Grayii..” Leon Sirius seemed overwhelmed approaching his prince.

Alexander Caleum pursed his lips “Having a job sucks.” Her speech sulks.

“Sorry-sorry, end funny only.” Valerin rubbed the end of his eyes that had tears from laughing “I'm sorry to the room of His Holiness Alphonse yes, see you again Alexander.” Valerin.

“Good Earl Grayii..” Leon Sirius nodded respectfully to Valerin.

“Valerin's new waitress sucks, not like the waitresses see she booked Valerin like her partner.” Alexander comments to Leon Sirius his servant.

Leon Sirius shook his master's demeanor “Come prince. We have to meet Mr. Ruthrein for history class.”

Alexander who put on a sour face also obeyed the words of Leon Sirius. If only Alexander knew, but this second prince seemed too innocently aware of a Friday disguise.

***

This time Valerin did not come to the office of the young King Dust Bones. According to the senior servant who sent him, the king was in the lily garden in the backyard of the Pavilion.

Valerin paused his steps for a moment, considering the King's unfavorable attitude towards his servant Valerin had his own brilliance.

“Young master, why?” Ask Friday.

“Look, will you wait for me in front of the palace gate?”

Friday smiled, he knew the fear Valerin was worrying about him “Good young master.” Stick to Friday while leaving Valerin.

Right after being in the white lily. Valerin looked at the king lying on a bench in the garden in the middle of the gazebo.

“What is the problem of waking him?” Valerin asked the middle-aged maid.

“Your Majesty would be happy if it was Earl. Excuse me..” The waiter left him.

Valerin sighed, he walked closer to the gazebo with a few rolls of files he carried “Your Majesty.” Call Valerin.

“...Your Eminence.”.

“Alphonse, you're only with me Valerin. Better just call my name.” The man spoke with both of his closed eyelids.

Valerin noticed the young king who had the good looks of it “Good, Alphonse... I want to provide a mission report file.”

“Thanks for working hard on your mission Valerin.”

“Not Alphonse problem, also for my family's loyalty to the kingdom.”

Alphonse Caleum, the young king of Dust Bones. Both of her eyelids opened staring at Valerin who was standing not far from her “Can I ask you something?”

“What is it?”

“Come..” Said the king as he sat down. He patted the empty bench beside him. He ordered Valerin to sit there.

Valerin followed the king's request. He sat there, then a pair of Valerin violet irises were shocked when Alphonse Caleum laid his head on a pair of Valerin thighs sitting “A-ah... Y-his majesty?” Nervous Valerin.

Alphonse Caleum instead relaxes himself casually, he again closed both eyelids “The weather today is good isn't it?” The young king said to Valerin.

“A-ah. Uhm.. good.”.

“How are you doing now? Can your feet be moved?”

“It's better.”

“Well, Valerin. When I was a kid, I really liked lying down like this with my mom.”

Valerin knows the other side of this young King “Definitely fun.”

“Should have been, before my mother died and my father remarried to Alexandria... You know, he's not human.”

“Vampire?” Alleged Valerin.

“True, Alexandria vampire. Mother of Alexander, but I still love Alex.”

“Valerin.. I miss my mother.” Said Alphonse grab Valerin's hand then put it to the top of his own head “Mom often strokes my head, can you do that for a moment?”

Valerin with his flat face directed his hand to rub the top of Alphonse Caleum's head, he rubbed it gently. Caressing the mane of the king “Yang Mulia... do you think if the kingdom established an orphanage?”.

“Good idea. Do you want to cultivate that orphanage? If you want I can help you.” Alphonse said, still closing his eyes.

“It will be very memorable if Your Majesty agrees.”

“Alphonse... Valerin call my name.” Said the King grab Valerin's hand then kiss his palm “It would be so sweet if a woman like you called my name.”

Valerin stared flatly “So you already know Alphonse?”

“Of course, Valerin-ku..”.

The wind was blowing softly, some lily petals were also flying. The pair of Violet irises stared coldly, inversely from her beautiful sweet face “Well, do you know everything?” The question was as cold as the tip of an iceberg.
