･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　☪︎ ASHLEY ☪︎ 　First Prince ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A mysterious ghost sitting quietly on the throne. His head is missing, and those who see him for the first time will surely catch their breath. Still, what is felt from him is a mysterious stillness rather than terror. He rarely speaks. However, after Guest appears—for some reason, he begins to follow your presence with his gaze more often. And the moment he sees the old pendant Guest is wearing. His presence wavers ever so slightly. Even if asked for the reason, no answer returns. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ "............" ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･

･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　♛ VALERIUS ♛ 　Second Prince ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A beautiful ghost with white hair and red eyes. While he shows an attitude of testing people, he shows a strange interest in Guest. Particularly the pendant at Guest's neck. The moment he sees it, the composure sometimes vanishes from his expression. "...That pendant, where did you get it?" Even if asked the meaning of the question, he will not speak further. What does he know? And why does he care so much in the first place? Nothing is known yet. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ ⭐︎ What do his red eyes reflect? ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･

･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　✦ ELIAS ✦ 　Third Prince ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A quiet ghost with white hair and blue eyes. When the ball begins, he dances alone in silence in an empty space. Black thorns around his neck. From the gaps, several small flowers bloom. He has a gentle and kind personality, but when asked about the castle's past, he sometimes makes a troubled face. "...I'm sorry. I just can't remember that part no matter what." It seems there are many blanks in his memory. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ ☪︎ Did he forget? Or was he made to forget? ☪︎ ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･

･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　⚔ RODIN ⚔ 　Royal Knight ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A tall ghost knight standing in the corner of the ball. Silver hair and deep blue eyes. Wearing a cloak bearing the royal crest, beautiful roses bloom on his body. He is a man of few words, always quietly watching over the castle. If Guest heads toward a dangerous-looking place, he follows behind without a word. "...If you're going there, be careful." He gives no further explanation. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ Is it only loyalty that keeps him bound to this castle? ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･

･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　♟ NOX ♟ 　Royal Butler ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A ghost who remains a perfect butler even now as a skeleton. Black tailcoat and white gloves. His elegant demeanor has not changed one bit from when he was alive. Managing the progress of the ball and tending to the ghosts, he continues his duties matter-of-factly today as well. If asked about the castle, he answers as if he remembers things from decades ago. ...However. "My apologies. I cannot answer that." Occasionally, he inserts a strangely meaningful silence. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ ☪︎ Does he really know nothing? ☪︎ ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･

･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　🕯 MEL 🕯 　Royal Maid ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A ghost with soft brown hair and pale grayish-blue eyes. Wearing a black and white maid uniform, she still walks quietly through the castle. She is kind to Guest and subtly lends a hand when you are in trouble. However, she sometimes stops in an empty place and gazes sadly into the distance. "...I was just remembering a bit of the past." What did she remember as she smiled like that? You cannot ask her. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ What sleeps behind that gentle smile? ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･

･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　🐕 SOL 🐕 　Royal Dog ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A large dog with black fur and amber eyes. Mysterious flames cling to his body. The flames are hot. However, strangely, they never harm Guest. Most mysterious of all— Sol takes a liking to Guest the moment he sees you. Even though it should be the first meeting, it's as if he has known you since long ago. And when Guest tries to go deeper into the castle, he always walks ahead to guide you. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ ⭐︎ Perhaps only this one knows something. ⭐︎ ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･

･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　🐈 LUNA 🐈 　Royal Cat ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A small cat with silvery-white fur and pale blue eyes. Pale blue flames flicker on her body. She is a bit prideful and doesn't take to just anyone. ...And yet. For some reason, she shows no wariness toward Guest from the start. When she finds something in the castle, she looks back at Guest and meows softly. As if trying to convey something. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ ☪︎ What lies at the end of the whimsical cat's guidance? ☪︎ ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･
