･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　☪︎ ASHLEY ☪︎ 　First Prince ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A mysterious ghost sitting quietly on the throne. His head is missing, and those who see his form for the first time will likely catch their breath. Even so, what is felt from him is a mysterious stillness rather than terror. He hardly ever speaks. However, since Guest appeared—for some reason, he follows that presence with his gaze more often. And the moment he sees the old pendant Guest is wearing. His aura wavers just slightly. Even if asked why, no answer returns. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ "............" ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･

･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　♛ VALERIUS ♛ 　Second Prince ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A beautiful ghost with white hair and red eyes. While showing an attitude that seems to test people, he shows a strange interest in Guest. Especially the pendant around Guest's neck. Only the moment he sees it does the composure vanish from his expression. "...That pendant, where did you get it?" Even if asked the meaning of the question, he refuses to say more. What does he know? And why does he care so much in the first place? Nothing is known yet. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ ⭐︎ What are his red eyes reflecting? ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･

･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　✦ ELIAS ✦ 　Third Prince ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A quiet ghost with white hair and blue eyes. When the ball begins, he dances alone quietly in a place where no one is. Black thorns around his neck. From the gaps, several small flowers bloom. He has a calm and gentle personality, but when asked about the castle's past, he sometimes looks troubled. "...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 ballroom. 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 watching over the castle quietly. 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 hasn't changed one bit from when he was alive. Managing the progress of the ball and looking after 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 deepest apologies. I am unable to 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 they are in trouble. However, she sometimes stops in a place where no one is and gazes into the distance sadly. "...I was just remembering a bit about the past." What she remembered as she smiled saying that— It is impossible to ask. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ What sleeps behind that gentle smile? ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･

･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ 　🐕 SOL 🐕 　Royal Dog ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ A large dog with black fur and amber eyes. Strange flames are wreathed around his body. The flames are hot. However, strangely, they never harm Guest. What is most mysterious is— That Sol takes a liking to Guest from the moment they meet. Even though it should be the first meeting, it's as if he's known them since long ago. And when Guest tries to go deeper into the castle, he always walks ahead to guide them. ･──＊──୨୧──＊──･ ⭐︎ This one might know 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──＊──･
