Prologue 1: Lux Klein

c.e. February 5, 60, Plant (Ecliptic), April, Klein House, bedroom. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's a bedroom that looks full of colors called 'warm'...... It's just because it's almost exclusively pink. On the pink walls, frames hang from paintings, although they look more like children's graffiti than paintings. And if you look closely, you can find Lux Klein's signature in the lower right corner - it's hard to imagine that someone who could write such a beautiful font could only draw what looks like a child's graffiti - even though in fact its owner was only a five-year-old.

Moving the eye from the walls to the interior, the first thing that catches your eye is the pale brown wooden floor, but above the floor, there is a pale pink carpet embroidered with delicate dark flowers. Most of these dark flowers are already blooming, but there are also a few budding buds dotted among them, and the slightly different colors make it look more harmonious and beautiful.

Stretching along the carpet, you can see a pale pink leather bed embroidered with strange patterns. On either side of the leather bed, there are two bedside tables in pale pink that resemble cartoon white rabbits. If you look up along the bedside tables on either side, you can see two diamond-shaped crystals that look like gemstones. Amazingly, the two diamond-shaped crystals were floating in the air - of course, if you look closely, you can see that they are connected by a transparent silk thread about 3 millimeters in diameter.

Strange yellowish beams of light emanated from the diamond-shaped crystals in all directions, making people think it was a gem that refracted the light at a glance. These pale yellow beams of light add a bit of magnificence to the diamond-shaped crystals, and also bring life to the entire pale pink room, making the room that was originally a little dark with the illumination of these pale yellow beams of light.

When I looked at the leather bed in the middle of the bedroom, I saw a white quilt covering a petite girl.

This petite girl has long pink hair that stands out against the white pillow and mattress, and her curled sleeping position makes this long pink hair scattered casually on the edge of the bed, looking like a beautiful abstract painting. She has a delicate melon seed face, and under the two slender willow eyebrows curved like a crescent moon, there are a pair of eyes that are closed peacefully, and the delicate and delicate nose is flanked by slightly reddened peach cheeks, and the small cherry mouth with an orchid smell is soft.

The pale yellow light fell on her face, making her delicate face, which was as delicate as a porcelain doll, completely revealed, and she immediately fell in love with it just by looking at it. At this moment, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly, with a slightly pale complexion, a weak feeling arose, like a fragile flower, which made people love it, but also couldn't help but want to embrace it in her arms and take care of it.

She is the only direct heir of the Klein family and the only princess of the Klein family: Lux Klein!

"Tuk, Tuk......"

Just as the lovely child on the bed was still resting quietly, a soft knock came from the bedroom door, but this knock was not heavy or loud, and it was obvious that it could not wake Lux from resting.

Perhaps the visitor knew that his knock on the door would not wake Lux, so he did no more useless work. After a moment of silence, the recognition device sounded a "......" prompt, and the door opening sound of "s......queak" also sounded. As the bedroom door opened, a gentle glow poured in through the open door, illuminating the not-so-bright room.

"Da, da......"

The sound of crisp footsteps disturbed the peace of the room, and when I looked at the source of the sound, I saw a tall figure walking in through the door.

"Hmm......"

The light cast into the bedroom from the hallway woke Lux from her sleep, and she opened her sleepy eyes, and she was greeted by the head maid who had served her for four years: Alice Flass.

Alice had palm-colored hair that was neatly draped behind her and fanned around her waist, swaying from side to side like a fan as she progressed. Her face was a little round, and under the neat bangs on her forehead were a pair of slender and slender willow eyebrows, and her big round light gray eyes were staring at Lux who was still lying on the bed, blinking from time to time, leaving two shallow shadows on her white face with her slender eyelashes.

The black and white maid outfit was unhurriedly attached to Alice's body, although it was not tightly bound, it still showed Alice's proud figure in front of Lux's eyes.

In Lux's daze, Alice stopped moving forward and stood at the end of the bed. As the ruddy cherry lips opened and closed slightly, a soft and pleasant voice echoed in the bedroom: "Lux, it's time to get up......" In the confusion, Lux's mind finally became clear with Alice's soft call.

"Hmm...... Alice?"

Lux, who was gradually sobering up, responded softly, and her curled body stirred the white quilt as the words fell.

"It's time to get up. ”

Seeing Lux stretching out on the bed, Alice was a little amused, and then took another step to the edge of the bed where Lux was asleep, and sat down on the bed. She replied to Lux as she reached out and combed her pink hair from the white mattress.

"People know it......"

Lux, who felt her hair slowly turning into a bunch under Alice's combing, pulled her hands out of the quilt and rubbed her eyes, which were still a little open.

"Hmm...... Speaking of which, today is someone's birthday. ”

After Lux rubbed her eyes with both hands, letting her sleepiness go, she muttered to herself with eyes as bright as sapphires.

"Yes, Lux...... It's your birthday. ”

Although she felt that it didn't matter whether she responded or not, Alice couldn't help but answer softly after carefully combing Lux's hair together.

"Hmm...... Today is someone's birthday. ”

There was no ordinary person's joy when they heard that it was her birthday, and after repeating it flatly, Lux just sat up on the bed and looked at Alice, who looked a little gloomy on the side.

"...... according to the plot development"

Before she could finish speaking, Lux herself was amused by her words. Although Lux didn't say the rest of the words, Alice, who had served Lux for four years, knew what Lux was going to say next without thinking. Alice, who was deeply distressed by this, had no ability to change the situation, so she could only silently watch Lux laugh alone...... Lux's smile was beautiful, but there was a touch of lonely sadness in her eyes at this time.

"Go freshen up. ”

Lux only laughed for a moment, and then stopped the smile on her face, and the sadness hidden in her eyes was replaced by gentleness.

"Hmmm......"

Alice silently answered, then stood up, out of the way so that Lux could pull her foot out of the quilt and place it beside the bed. Although Lux's body was weak, it was not so weak that she needed Alice's service even to wear shoes, so at this time she opened her eyes and looked at the pale pink carpet, and after finding her own pale pink rabbit-shaped cotton slippers, she put her white feet into them.

Standing up, Lux was no longer interested in talking, she sniffed lightly, suppressed the loneliness in her heart again, and then took a step and walked to the bathroom. Although Alice intended to make Lux happy, Alice suddenly lost her mind when she thought of the words that Siegel had asked her to convey to Lux when she came.

Washing up was not a hassle, and after ten minutes of brushing her teeth, rinsing her mouth, and washing her face, Lux, still wearing a light purple nightdress, sat down at the dresser. At this time, Alice was still choosing suitable clothes for Lux, since today was Lux's birthday, even if it might just be a sad time, Alice did not give up the idea of dressing up Lux.

After picking and choosing, Alice finally found a dress that satisfied her.

It was a simple pale yellow dress, and Alice fell in love with it because of the unique flower tied to its chest, the flower that means 'purity' (lily).

After choosing the outfit that Lux was going to wear today, Alice didn't drag it anymore, and after a few steps behind Lux, she reached out and combed her hip-length pink hair for Lux. Lux doesn't need makeup, because even if she doesn't wear makeup, she has already shown a little bit of a peerless beauty. So all Alice has to do is comb Lux's hair as she wants, and wait for Lux's to get dressed.

"Is it eight o'clock?"

Time passed slowly, and when Lux changed into the lily dress that Alice had chosen for her, it meant that Lux had taken care of her image and was ready to go out.

"Hmmm......"

Alice stood a meter in front of Lux, quietly looking at Lux, who had taken care of her image.

Because she didn't need makeup, she actually just changed her hairstyle. Pink hair began to wavy from her back and extended to her hips, while the bangs on her forehead were split to the sides by Alice from the upper left corner, revealing Lux's curved willow eyebrows and large bright eyes. Coupled with a fresh lily dress, it makes Lux look more quiet and graceful at this time, and of course, it is also very cute.

Not only Alice was satisfied with this outfit, but even Lux herself was quite satisfied.

She doesn't like fancy clothes, and that doesn't mean Lux doesn't want to wear them, but that's only when she needs to. In her daily routine, the clothes she wears are similar to the dresses she wears now, as they only reach her calves and don't interfere with her movement too much.

"So...... Tell them, Alice, where is his father waiting for them?"

Satisfied with this outfit, Lux has not forgotten the original purpose of Alice's arrival. Because it was customary for Alice to let Lux sleep until eight or nine o'clock unless it was a special case, and then come to the bedroom to wake him up. And now there is no doubt that it is in the 'special case'.

"Your Excellency Siegel has already had breakfast and is waiting for you in the living room, Your Highness Lux. ”

Although she knew it was inevitable, Alice still wanted Lux to be happy for a while longer. But since Lux had already asked out loud, Alice naturally wouldn't hide it anymore, but answered Lux's question honestly.

"Sure enough, in the end, it's still 'according to the development of the plot'......"

Although this had been expected for a long time, a faint mist still appeared in Lux's bright eyes, and his originally calm expression was slightly sad at this time.

She stood quietly in front of the dresser, staring at the figure reflected in the mirror...... She noticed the fog and blur in her eyes, but Lux, who had long been accustomed to this, suppressed the sadness in her heart as usual, and after wiping the fog from her eyes with her little hand, Lux resolutely turned around, and walked calmly and indifferently to the bedroom door that had long been closed.

"Let's go, Alice. ”

A childish but pleasant voice echoed in the bedroom...... The gentle light enveloped her, leaving Alice with a seemingly calm, but in fact sad back.
