Chapter 3, around 7 o'clock

In the autumn weather, if it were on some winter islands, I am afraid that the scenery would have been full of ice and snow by now.

Unfortunately, Peanut Island is a tropical snow-free island, and even after the peak of the summer, the temperature on this small island is still not comfortable.

Because of this, germs can find suitable breeding grounds in various places.

- More than half a month has passed since Douglas commissioned Lily to recruit doctors, and if you count from the war of annihilation of the Navy, the subsequent man-made disasters have lasted for more than two months.

6:52

There are almost 10 minutes left until seven o'clock in the morning, and Klein, the thirteenth prince of the Snoopy Kingdom, will soon wake up from his sleep, but he is not in the opulent palace at the moment.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, the prince, who was used by the old king as a tool for political marriage, has shown great sympathy for the suffering masses.

He voluntarily gave up a comfortable and stable living environment and devoted himself to the front line of disease fighting and disaster relief.

The young Thirteen Princes, along with Jermaine and his rebels, have been able to save hundreds of refugees in the two months so far.

Gradually, Klein and the eaglet "Bambi" hovering above his head became the hope of the common people, and the reputation of the Thirteen Princes grew.

What is even more commendable is that these praises did not get carried away with His Royal Highness, and he maintained his usual style and continued to give all the help he could to the victims.

7:00

… The time came to seven o'clock sharp.

Klein, who had already made a plan for his trip, slowly woke up in the tent he had set up in a hurry, but he couldn't help but feel a little extra damp heat.

Under the arrangement of the newlywed wife and the Minister of the Interior, the silk quilt that had just been sent from the palace was of high quality and exquisite workmanship, and it should never have such an uncomfortable feeling.

Prince Klein, who was not yet fully sober, could not figure out the specific reason, so he could only temporarily put the blame on the hot and humid climate.

Fortunately, Klein is not a traditional royal family that is greedy for pleasure.

This is evident from the pets he has domesticated - the eaglet that accompanies him is a companion he meets by chance while cruising on other islands, and the Thirteen Princes have studied for a long time like an experienced falconer before he is recognized by the bird of prey.

Since then, Klein has always been personally responsible for the diet and hygiene of "Bambi", and this person is an eagle, and thus he has formed a deep bond.

Every morning, when the prince awoke, as soon as he called the name of the eaglet, the clever bird would respond to the call of its master.

"Bambi... Bambi..."

The prince stretched out his hand from under the quilt, his eyes half-open and half-closed, calling out the name of his pet. But surprisingly, this time, the eagle did not give him any response.

Klein then frowned in confusion and blinked again to make himself more conscious.

The transparent sky light illuminated the entire tent, and Prince Klein realized that the hand he had just stretched out of the quilt was covered with red blood for some reason!

The pungent fishy smell instantly helped the Thirteen Princes correct their drowsy consciousness!

He instinctively developed a feeling of fear, but years of royal education still made him make a decent first reaction in such extreme conditions.

"Guards, guards."

Klein didn't scream loudly, and after calmly calling out two guards, he immediately checked his body to see if there were any obvious wounds all over his body.

And as he lifted the silk quilt from above, more red filled his vision.

- The prince's sheets, his pajamas, and even the bed frame itself were dyed red, but he could not find a single wound on his body.

It wasn't until Klein lifted the covers completely that the corpse of an animal appeared in front of his eyes.

It was a terrible bird, its gray-brown feathers shining with luster because it was soaked in blood, but its hard, sharp claws and beak had been broken by a powerful external force.

Of course, this is not the most direct cause of death - in the position of its chest and abdomen, its originally vigorous body seems to have been torn alive by some kind of creature with larger size and sharper claws!

The cruel creature deftly hollowed out all the contents of its abdomen until it could not even scream.

From its bloody eye sockets, Klein could almost empathize with the pain of its last moments, but sadly, he couldn't do anything but cry out in tears...

"Bambi! Bambi! No!!!!! ”

The prince's cry was almost hoarse, and the guards poured into the tent.

They were equally amazed by what they saw... Because from the beginning of the ward, they have been guarding the safety of His Royal Highness the Prince every night.

But even in this case, there are still people who can unknowingly send Bambi's tragic corpse into the bed of His Highness Klein, if the other party's purpose last night was to assassinate, the consequences are really unimaginable!

The captain of the guard immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and he gave an order for the guards to thoroughly investigate the vicinity of the tent... If someone had ever been in or out of the tent at night, they might still be able to find traces of what was left and use it to find out how the other person could come and go freely.

And now, the time has come to 7:03.
