A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

In the dungeon beneath the temple where the royal knights are located, Heimus suddenly frowned when he had not slept in the middle of the night and was thinking about something secretly.

Immediately after that, he sneezed heavily.

strange.

You have the flu?

But there is no such feeling?

Heimus rubbed his nose thinking a bit strangely.

He didn't know at all. Garland, who awakened from his dreams and blushed and scolded his rogue, was now entangled in a quilt and wrapped himself in a ball, even burying his head in it, forming a round ball on the bed.

The boy who put himself in the quilt was sulking while praying not to dream this dream again, and finally he fell asleep again.

The long blond hair spread out on the snow-white bed, and the soft moonlight seemed to fall on the teenager's sleeping face with a kind of childlike silver.

In the outer courtyard, the stone statue of the star goddess Isdar bathed in starlight still stands quietly above the fountain.

The tiny splash of water was hidden in the gentle night breeze.

…………

On the second day, the weather in King Aaron Landis was always sunny, and the light shone on the earth.

Wang Cheng, who had been quiet for a night, had already become bustling at this moment, with vocals everywhere.

In the early morning, Garland took Kehos to the gate of the temple where the royal knights were stationed.

It happened that when he arrived, the knight who had received him last time was carrying a team of knights, wearing crimson armor and a sword with a waist, and it seemed that he was going to King Camos's palace.

One of their most important tasks is to guard King Camos's palace and the treasure house in the inner courtyard of the palace.

When he saw Gallan, the knight turned around and let his subordinates stand in place, then stepped forward to bow slightly to Gallan.

Like the last time, it was still a blank expression.

Garland raised his head slightly, making the knight stand upright.

"Prince Garland, are you going to see Prince Huimus?"

The cavalier leader came to his own conclusion.

"Please wait, I will arrange for my colleagues to take you in."

Garland shook his head.

He said: "No, I am not here to see Hyims, but to see your head of the Cabinet."

The Royal Knights are independent of all armies, and the number of people fluctuates around one hundred. They are directly under King Camos and are not under the jurisdiction of anyone other than the King.

The highest commander is called the commander.

Under the head, the subordinate knights are four to five.

The knight was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"I see, please wait."

He turned around and said a few words to a knight behind him. Then, the knight led the squad to the mission, and he took Galran into the gate of the temple.

Inside the main hall of the shrine are two huge statues.

The sun **** Shamash, the night **** Nanna.

The knights of the royal knighthood also believed in the two gods enshrined by the royal family of Aaron Landis.

The whole shrine is made of white stone, the whole looks simple and atmospheric, and the age looks quite long, depositing the traces left by successive knights.

There is nothing lavish in the interior, and there are very few decorations. It gives a simple and heavy feeling, and it also has a sense of indifference.

The head of the knight led Gallan through the hall and into a spacious room.

"Please wait here."

He said, then turned and left.

Garland sat down and looked at the room slightly.

It should be a parlor, but there are hardly any decorations other than dark curtains and dark wooden strips and chairs.

The wide wooden lattice window was open. Looking out of the window, there were almost no flowers or grass in the courtyard. They were all lush evergreen trees. He also saw a knight in inner armor sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard.

"Kahoes."

"Yes."

The blonde knight standing behind Garland smiled and bowed his head in response.

"Speaking of it, we didn't seem to have seen a servant since we came in?"

"Yes, Your Royal Highness, the Royal Knights do not use any maids or servants. Except for the food being delivered by a dedicated person, everything else, whether it is daily life or cleaning, including feeding horses, maintaining armor weapons, etc., they all You have to do it yourself to hone yourself."

"...How do they feel like they are living like ascetics..."

Garland couldn't help whispering when he heard it.

"what did you say?"

"Well, I just said that they are very strict with themselves."

Garland quickly persevered.

In Aaron Landis, there is no such thing as an ascetic.

"Yes, the members of the Royal Knights have always been extremely self-disciplined. They are not tempted by any outside world and stick to themselves to ensure that their loyalty to the royal family will not be shaken by anything."

In the conversation between Garland and Kehos, someone walked into the parlor.

It was a burly and powerful middle-aged man with a square face and a nose, wide eyebrows and broad outlines. The outline was quite tough, giving a handsome look to an adult man.

He has short curly black-brown hair and a shallow, hard stubble around his mouth, and he is quite tall.

The commander of the royal knights, the head of the cabinet.

When he walked in front of Garland, he followed the two knights.

The head of the knight who brought Garland in disappeared, perhaps after reporting to the head, he went directly to fulfill his mission.

The head of Sage gave Galan a blank expression and bowed slightly, almost indistinguishably from the knight commander.

"Prince Garland."

After bowing slightly to salute, Sage looked up.

"Excuse me, what's the matter with me?"

He said straightforwardly.

"If you want me to release Prince Huimus, I'm sorry, I can't agree. I have to wait for King Camos to come back and give me the order to release him."

As soon as he spoke indifferently, he pointed directly at the core and blocked the words.

The leader of the Sage, who does not communicate with anyone all year round, is the same no matter who he talks to, even King Camos is no exception. At most, it will be a little more respectful.

Garland sat on the seat, looking up at the head of the Sage standing in front of him.

"What if I have to let you release Huimus now?"

"Prince Garland, you have no power to obey me."

The head of the Sage Court bluntly pushed back.

Garland thought for a while and then asked, "Can I see the remains of those two knights?"

"Excuse me for refusing, Your Highness, even if you are distinguished, you are not eligible to blasphemy my subordinate's body at will."

The head of Sage replied, his tone cold.

"I don't mean that, I just want to find out the real murderer who killed them."

This time, Sage didn't even bother to say anything, just glanced at Gallan.

The two cavaliers behind Sage either sipped their lips or frowned.

The implication in that glance, as well as the facial movements of the two knights, made Gallan understand the attitude of the head, or the entire knight, to himself.

Although the royal knights have never shaken their emotions because of foreign objects, they will still be angry about the murder of their companions who have been in and out of the house for many years.

Therefore, they are quite resistant to themselves who want to help their “killer” to escape the charges.

It is only because they are princes that they maintain their respect.

For those people who have already determined the ‘facts’ in their hearts, it has no effect to continue talking.

Because they don't believe in themselves at all.

……no solution anymore.

Garland sighed in his heart.

Then he turned around and glanced at Kehuos behind him.

Receiving Garland's signal, Kehos nodded slightly.

Garland turned his head back, put his hand on the armrest of the seat, and stood up as if to get up and leave.

Naturally, the head of the cabinet who thought that Prince Garland had understood his attitude and intended to leave, stepped back to the side and gave way to Garland.

The Sage gave up, and the two cavaliers behind him naturally appeared.

When they saw the leader take a step back, they also backed away.

It was just that they had just raised one foot and hadn’t had time to step back abruptly. Suddenly, the blonde knight who had been standing quietly behind the prince since he came in rushed forward and rushed towards them.

It's like a gust of wind, extremely fast.

In just a blink of an eye, Kehos rushed in front of them and attacked them directly.

The two knights raised their hands and fought back in shock.

But their fighting power was much worse than that of Kehuos, and Kehuos took advantage of it. Almost before they responded, Kehuos twisted a knight's arm. With vigorous effort, he slammed it **** the stone ground.

Immediately after that, he turned around and kicked heavily on the chest of another knight, kicking it with a groan and staggering backward.

Before waiting for the knight to stand firm, Kehos had already flashed behind him, raised his hand and hit him hard with his neck, knocking him down on the ground all at once.

In less than a minute, the two cavaliers were laid down by Kehos.

The head of Sage suddenly showed anger on his face.

"Prince Garland, what do you mean!"

He asked angrily.

"Means nothing."

Gallan said, with a snap, he drew a sharp dagger from the waist.

He reached out and pointed his dagger down, pointing to the knight who was controlled by Kehuos.

Under the scorn of the head of the cabinet, Gallan put the tip of the dagger against the knight's forehead, and smiled at the cabinet.

"Head of Sage."

He smiled and said, "Do you think I will kill your subordinates?"

The knight caught by Kahoes blushed angrily, disregarding the dagger pointing at his head, struggling to break free, but Kahoesi twisted his hands and knelt down on the ground.

"Don't do such stupid things, Prince Garland."

The head of Sage sinked deeply.

"We are not enemies, you do not need to do such a thing, you should know that hurting the royal knight is not a trivial matter, even if you are loved by King Camos, you will cause yourself great trouble."

As if listening to the head of the Sage, Gallan pondered.

Then he smiled at Sage again.

"So, if I close now, there shouldn't be any major trouble?"

Facing this little prince who seemed to be playing a childish role, Sage was even a little helpless at the moment.

He nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness, as long as you haven't hurt them, I will not even report this to King Camos."

The teenager nodded.

He smiled at the head of the Sage, withdrawing the dagger.

He said, "Okay, Kehuos."

Kehos, who received the order, immediately released his hand and returned to Garland.

The knight chief who had been pressed by Kehuos for a long time stood up and glared at Kehuos, but the head of the cabinet did not order, he could only back behind the cabinet and stood silently.

Sarge's thick eyebrows were already frowned, and in his straight brain, he wondered what Galland's purpose was to do.

Is it to give the royal knights who neglected themselves and do not listen to their own words to be dismounted?

"Head of Sage."

Playing with the sharp dagger in his hand, Gallan said, "So, do you still think that Huimos is the murderer who killed your subordinates?"

"...What do you mean?"

"My guardian knight easily knocked down your two subordinates."

Garlan's words made the two knights' faces look less beautiful.

"He alone can control the two knights, the head of the cabinet, you should see that this is Kehos's hand, he is fully capable of knocking these two knights directly."

Sage's face also sank.

But he also knew clearly that the selection of members of the Royal Knights was based on complete loyalty to the royal family, not on force.

Therefore, the value of the royal knight's force is not as good as that of the guard knights who followed the battle of King Camos. Even the average guard knight can't compare, let alone this famous "knight in the hot sun".

So, even if he was a little unhappy with Prince Garland's words, he didn't say anything, it was considered the default.

"That is to say, Kehuos can completely suppress them without harming them."

Insert the dagger back into the scabbard on the waist.

Garlan looked up and fixed his gaze at Sage.

He said, "Head of the Cabinet, I don't know if you have heard of it, Huymos's force is not inferior to Kehus."

Sage was startled, and then his face changed, apparently finally understanding the meaning of Gallan's words.

Kehos can subdue the two knights without hurting them.

The knight chief is definitely stronger than the ordinary royal knight.

It is even easier for Prince Huimus, who is not inferior to Kehos in force, and wants to stun them without disturbing the two knights.

"Head of the Sage, you said just now that even if I was a prince, it would be a big problem to hurt or even kill the royal knight."

"You just said, I shouldn't do such a stupid thing."

The young prince calmly stared at Sage with clear words.

"And the purpose of Huimos is just to get the weapon. Since he can easily subdue the two royal knights, why should he spend the effort to kill them and put himself in such a big trouble?"

He asked, "Do you think... would he be such a fool?"

Sage was silent.

The two cavaliers behind him also showed a thoughtful look.

"Head of Sage, I know that you cherish your subordinates. And now, only by finding out the real culprits can their souls rest in peace."

Gallan looked directly at him and said, "I promise you that I will give you an explanation as soon as possible, so please release Huimos first and let him go back to the palace to heal. The injury on his hand It’s not light, if I don’t cultivate well, I worry about serious consequences. And, you can send a team of knights to the palace to guard him."

A big room, but it was extremely quiet.

The head of the Sage has been silent, although he has vaguely felt that Garland is right, but...

After a long silence, he still shook his head.

"Prince, maybe you are right, but this is not in compliance."

He shook his head and insisted.

"I have to get King Camos' warrant to release Prince Huimus."

"Head of Sage..."

"Sorry, I must act according to the rules."

Sage said firmly, still the attitude of not being able to go in like a stone.

Gee, this brain-dead head who acts blindly.

Garland sighed in the bottom of his heart and sighed.

no solution anymore.

Thinking this, he drew his dagger again.

Sage whispered without blinking: "I may not be the opponent of Lord Kehuos, but even if you force me with my life, I.........Prince?!!!"

The face of the head of the serious Sage suddenly changed, revealing a shock.

Because he watched the shining dagger held by Gallan in his hand, fell off, and touched Gallan's own forearm.

The blade was extremely sharp, and when pressed, a shallow slit was cut in Garran's forearm, and a little blood stain oozed out.

"Because you argued with the head of the Sage, you moved with excitement, and then the head of the Sage, you lost me in the chaos and hurt me."

"Prince Garland, you--"

Faced with the startled and angry look of Sarge, Gallan showed him a bright smile like the sunshine in the sky.

"Come on, Head of the Sage, did you choose to send a knight to send Heimus back to his palace and guard him there... Or choose to let me put more energy on my wounds and wait for Brother Wang to come back Just complain to him and say you hurt me by mistake?"

"You...Prince, do you know what you are doing?"

Sage was chest tight.

"What am I doing? I'm framing you~~"

His golden eyes blinked, and Gallan said innocently and sternly, with a big smile at Sage.

"How is it? Is it fun?"

Sage: "..............."

What about the wise prince in the good rumors? ! !
