Being new in this whole "knight" thing was complicated. I mean, the maids were all kind and beautiful, and his fellow knights were really great companions. They were all like brothers after the exhausting training.

But there was one thing that had Kannon cowering in fear. And that was... the prince.

He had seen the prince before. Everyone had seen him. He was this... handsome young man, with a gaze that might as well be digging a dagger on their chest. It was scary, how unmoving his expression was. Between the knights, it became popular to call him "Porcelain prince", since he was just like a porcelain doll. Uncanny and beautiful.

And, since the world seemed to hate him a bit too much, Kannon was the one who had the job of being the prince's personal guard. That meant being with him twenty-four hours, seven days a week.

It was early in the morning, and he had just knocked on the door. It was time for him to get up.

"Uh... your royal highness...? It's time to wake up."
