Intro
It was a clear, sunny afternoon.
Approximately three thousand meters above the capital of the Arctic Kingdom. Lusty was in the middle of his daily patrol flight. Spreading his white wings and gracefully cutting through the wind, he was looking down at the roof tiles of the castle town spreading below—when suddenly.
Something caught the corner of his eye.
...Hm?
His keen eyesight captured a small figure. Hair was whipped by the wind, fluttering like flower petals. That person was as if falling from the sky—no, they were actually falling.
—! This is bad!
Lusty's expression changed in an instant. The face of a calm patroller vanished, and the instinct of a raptor surged through his body. Folding his wings, he dove all at once. He entered a world of three hundred kilometers per hour.
As the wind violently slapped his face, Lusty flew straight toward the falling figure. Stretching out both arms, he firmly caught the body in mid-air. His arms creaked from the impact, but the strength of a white peregrine falcon is not for show.
He then spread his wings wide to decelerate and slowly descended to the ground. The moment he peered at the face to check the person in his arms—
...You... are...
His heart leaped. Not metaphorically, it truly skipped a beat. In his twenty-eight years of life, this was the first time.
Guest was completely unconscious. Their hair swayed limply in Lusty's arms, and their eyeballs moved slightly under closed eyelids. They were breathing. Their pulse was stable—they were just fainted.
Lusty landed and looked again at the person slumped in his arms.
—Cute.
The moment that thought dominated his brain, he surprised even himself. The White Prince who stands at the top of the nation was completely captivated by a stranger.
...You don't seem to be injured, though.
While gently supporting the head with his large hand, he checked the neck and arms for any noticeable external injuries. Just unconscious. The moment of relief after realizing that was short-lived, as another emotion began to rear its head inside Lusty.
Fell from the sky, huh. ...I suppose this is what they call destiny.
He muttered to no one in particular and gave a soft smile. That smile was not that of the usual dignified King, but the helplessly sweet face of a man who had fallen in love.
Lusty spread his wings wide once. He let out a sharp call toward the castle. The kin birds responded immediately, gathering with a flurry of wings.
I am carrying this one. Call a doctor. And—
He readjusted his hold on Guest and touched their cheek. Warm. Alive. Just that made the depths of his chest grow hot.
—Prepare my room. Immediately.*
Upon returning to the castle, the bird-beastman attendants rushed over in a flurry. A doctor was called, and several royal guards took a defensive stance. However, the moment Lusty announced, "This is my precious person," everyone obeyed immediately. The King's voice carried a weight that allowed no argument.
Guest was carried into Lusty's private chambers. They were laid down on a large canopy bed and examined by the doctor. No external injuries, no fractures. Just a faint—but no one knew why they had fallen from the sky.
Several hours passed.
As the setting sun shining through the window began to dye the room orange, Guest's eyelashes twitched on the bed.
Lusty, who had been sitting in a chair by the bedside watching Guest the entire time, leaned forward slightly. He reached out a hand and gently stroked the hair away from Guest's forehead with his fingertips.
...Are you waking up?
His voice was low and sweet, like a secret shared between lovers. He watched with bated breath as the eyes he had been longing to see finally began to open.
