3 Years Later....
The news of Earl Grayii of Hortensiaburg betraying Dust Bones has spread throughout the kingdom be it Crave Rose or Dust Bones. Dust Bones won the war from Crave Rose, now peace on Dust Bones is so pronounced even this kingdom is busy cleaning up the infected areas. All of that was always attributed by Earl Grayii who deliberately spread the plague, his background as Avicenna supported the rumor. Without feeling it, three years have passed. The search for Earl Grayii, the traitor Dust Bones, is like lost to the earth. His existence just vanished.
In the workspace of Alphonse Caleum
“Yang Mulia Alphonse.” The voice of the commander of the troops from outside the door.
“Remington, sign.”
The man in armor stood before Alphonse “Ready, Your Majesty! Lotus village area is the last village area that has been cleared. Obscure's shelter will soon be destroyed.”
It appeared that a slightly long brown unraveling adult man with a slight beard growing on his chin, the two emerald eyes of the King looked lethargic. As if tired of staring at this empty room.
“Do you have any other reports?” He asked without turning his head while staring at the pile of files on his desk.
“No, Your Highness.”
“Then thank you for your hard work Remington.”
“My job is only serving Dust Bones with pride.”
“Good, your investigation into Earl Grayii, how?”
“There has been no progress on his search Your Majesty, even the police commander Sirius does not know it.”
The king in Dust Bones kingdom nodded “Remington, since your position changed to commander of the army. It feels troublesome if you don't have an ajundan to replace you.”
“Siap, Your Grace. About it..”
The sound steps of a pair of right boots sounded from the hallway of the palace, be it soldiers or servants amazed looking at the young man's face. Her footsteps were so elegant, the portions of her slim body were firm, the blond mane that was combed partially back with a pair of golden eyes that were staring intently. The pin badge shaped white lily symbol is on the uniform which is mostly pure white. A sword was slung to his waist.
The hand clad in white gloves knocked on the king's room mahogany door.
“Include Your Majesty, Ellis Francieli of Lotus Village.” Submit the young man's respect to Alphonse.
“This is it Your Majesty, my protege Ellis Francieli, her sword ability is very great, Ellis can take care of His Majesty.” Remington grabbed the young man's shoulder slowly.
“Ellis vows to keep His Majesty with soul and body.” The young man was beautiful, his skin was pure white and beautiful. The gaze through his two golden eyes on the emerald iris of the king was also very earnest.
Brakk...
The pile of sheets fell down, due to a table shake from the king who suddenly rose from his seat.
“Ah, forgive me Your Highness!” Ellis approached Alphonse's desk to collect the files.
Alphonse only rounded his eyes in disbelief “Va..lerin.”.
“Sorry Your Honor, be presumptuous to pack this file.” Ellis put the papers on the table, but Ellis' small wrist was immediately ambushed by Alphonse.
“Y-His Highness?” Ellis looked at the king.
“You're Valerin Grayii right?!” The king asked his voice.
The young man shook his head “I, do not understand what you say Your Majesty.” He swallowed his own saliva, too nervous with the attitude of the king.
“Your Majesty!” Remington tried to get close to the King.
Ellis Francieli closed her two eyes, her body even trembling faintly. Alphonse knew Valerin Grayii who would look at him defiantly. But Ellis, even so afraid to open both eyelids for the sake of looking at Alphonse.
“I'm sorry, Ellis..” Alphonse's soft speech while releasing the grip on Ellis' wrist.
“Not a problem, Your Highness.” Ellis lowered both hands, but Ellis still felt a throbbing pain in her wrist.
Not long ago, the voice of a child was heard from the hallway “Dad! Dad!” While walking into the room Alphonse “Dad, Victorine managed to shoot the antelope hehe...” He said with pride.
“Cabinets.” Alphonse said to the boy.
“Your Highness Prince Victorine!” Remington was followed by Ellis.
Crown Prince Dust Bones was walking through the two other adults, he approached the father and then hugged the large, sturdy body “Mother... Want Victorine sent to Lily's academy, Victorine doesn't want.” The boy complained.
“Victorine, must be a strong prince.” Alphonse was holding the three-year-old boy.
“Hm..” The little prince muttered sleepily, then slept in his father's arms.
Alphonse smiled very thinly “Ellis.. You can be my personal aide from tomorrow, I hope your fighting ability does not disappoint.” Said Alphonse while holding his little son.
“Good, Your Majesty!”

An inn in the city center. Crowded with tourists from outside the kingdom of Dust Bones, Ellis Francieli entered the inn with the look of a smiling face.
“See! Who will be the personal adjutant of His Holiness Alphonse!” Ellis cried to the long black-coated man who was cooking in the inn's kitchen.
“Ellis, wait, I'm cooking. You're this.” The omel.
Ellis flicked her lips, she sat on the bench in the kitchen “Well, you didn't exclaim Lyn..” Said Ellis while plucking the cherry tomatoes on the table.
“Dad, Ellis didn't bother you, did he?” The long black-blonde man said to the man who had just entered the inn.
“Lyn! You take good care of the inn, of course not. Ellis is a good boy.” Remington was also sitting on a bench, right near Ellis.
“Ellis, how were your injuries three years ago? Do you keep getting dizzy often?”
“Oh.” Ellis touched to form her temple covered by her blonde bangs “This is just a scar, I'm fine Mr. Remington.”
“Dad... Ellis call me dad, even Ryn doesn't hesitate to call me dad.”
Ellis nodded timidly at Remington's remark “Dad He murmured from those tiny lips.
“Sup of pumpkin, whole wheat bread and roast beef.” The long black gibboned man put food on the table “Ellis, Mr. Remington, I mean you already think of us as family. You can't be so and respect dad, thanks to him you're good at swordsmanship.” Lyn also sat in front of him.
“Iya, I know..”
“Wah, Lyn's cooking is always good. You're talented to be a chef.” Praise Remington.
Lyn immediately stood up “Oh, Mr. Claus.” Said Lyn approaching the man “You continue to eat only yes, it's Mr. Claus from the cattle farm.”
Ellis nodded, continuing to eat as well as Remington.
“Mr Lyn Sander..” Whisper the black-robed man.
“I said don't see me during the day, stupid Claus!”
“Sorry Mr. Lyn Sander, but a couple has admitted to looking for a man named Valerin Grayii when I was herding goats in the field of East Bones.”
“What woman has red hair and a tall strapping man?”
“True, Mr. Lyn... For your safety, we fear they're former followers of the legendary Valerin Grayii.”
“Tch. You must send the others to watch over them both.”
“Good Mr Lyn Sander.”
The man accused of black leaving the inn, Lyn Sander again approached Ellis and Remington who were talking.
“Ellis, you promised me not to leave this useless brother of yours, didn't you?”
“Lyn! What do you mean?!” Ellis immediately stood up and hugged Lyn Sander “ lest we are different brothers father, I still love you Lyn, you have taken care of me when injured even willing to run away from the village Lotus.” Said Ellis softly.
Lyn Sander rubbed the top of Ellis's head “True Ellis, you were seriously injured, only I cared about me. I'm all you need, Ellis.”
“Hey, you guys, don't forget me as your replacement father.” Remington immediately hugged Lyn and Ellis at the same time “Pity of these poor children, your father was rude to have to run away from home, now you are safe with me.” Remington again.
“True, we only have each other.” Iris violet Lyn Sander looked far away, even a thin grin seemed real there.

The first day of Ellis Francieli as the adjutant of the king Dust Bones began, Early in the morning the king's agenda had breakfast with the royal family. He also stood beside the king, stout and nervous. The red hue on his face was indeed visible.
“Oh, yes... Honey, this is the first time you've recruited a young man to be an aide.” The queen, entering the dining room with her ladies.
“Luciana, sit and eat.”
“Ah, you still can't speak stale huh? Al...”
“Don't call me that.”
“Ah, sorry-sorry, Your Majesty can not joke..” The queen smiled stiffly.
The small conversation heard by Ellis Francieli was quite bumpy, but after one of the soldiers approached him while whispering “Master Francieli, His Highness Harold's entourage from the Kingdom of Brunia was already in the city center.” Whisper slowly the soldier.
The agenda of the king is also the duty of an adjutant to always keep and help the king in his daily agenda, advancing one step closer to the king with a little bowing, ringum lips Ellis Francieli started whispering “Your Majesty, King Harold's entourage is already in the city center.” Ellis.
“Thank you Ellis, now we have to prepare to welcome guests.” The king wiped the tip of his lips with a handkerchief.
Stand up first, followed by Ellis who is always behind him “Ellis, I assign you to keep Harold up to the guest room when they get to.” Say the king again.
“Good, Your Majesty..”
The empress looked closely at Ellis Francieli from her seat “Francieli, do you already have a lover?”
Cengo, confused and sculpting. Reaction of an Ellis Francieli “Ehem..” He is dying “T-of course not His Majesty Luciana..”
“That's a shame, you're handsome and charming.”.
“Ellis, come..” The king stood up.
Ellis Francieli saluted the empress, then followed in the footsteps of Alphonse Caleum from behind.
The body of Alphonse Caleum, Ellis Francieli can see. Scars also appear from his wide neck “A-anu... Your Eminence.” Call Ellis.
“Ellis, you're my aide. Walk next door, don't always be back there.”
“B-good Your Majesty!” Soon Ellis ran to catch up with the adult man.
Samar, but Alphonse smiled faintly at that time “Ellis, did you see the love from Luciana to me?” Ask Alphonse.
“Your Highness Alphonse, the queen certainly loves you..”.
“But... Ah, sorry Your Highness.”
“It's okay, just say Ellis.”
“May I have the wrong servant Your Majesty, here Your Majesty who does not seem to understand Queen Luciana's love for you.” Ellis instantly shut her mouth “Sorry Your Majesty! I've criticized you, Ellis is ready to accept punishment!” Speech by Ellis.
Alphonse chuckled slightly, then rubbed the smaller top of the head “Ellis, no one dared to criticize me. Not nothing, but he's long gone Ellis.” Said the king, looking straight ahead “Valerin Grayii, if you want to know my reason, the one person I love is only Valerin Grayii.” Obviously the king.
“Valerin Greyii..” Inner Ellis repeated the name in her mind.
“Earl Grey... That incredibly talented Earl isn't it?”
“True, she's beautiful, tough and ingenious.”
“Sorry Your Highness, we have arrived at the hall, His Highness Harold's entourage will be arriving soon.” While draping his right hand in the chest, Ellis bowed his respect to the king.
He was also the first time, welcoming the group from Brunia through the adjutant Brunia work.
“Welcome Your Excellency Harold.” Ellis politely greeted him.
“Oh, beautiful Knight, I almost thought you were hiring a woman Alphonse.” The stocky man embraces the king of Dust Bones “You are still as dashing as you used to be Hahah!” Said again.
“Mr Francieli, introduce Felix Melian personal aide to His Holiness Harold, sorry for His Majesty's behavior.” The man who was no less young also bowed his respect to Ellis Francieli.
“Eh, it's okay Mr. Melian, really.” Ellis shook her head with a big smile.
A person in Brunia's entourage was wearing a black robe, covering most of her face. She was quite the attention of Ellis Francieli, feeling odd. Ellis tried to stay calm but remained vigilant “The robed man is strange.” Inner Ellis.
