A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

:

Garland once again returned to the governing government in the center of Twilo, but this time it was not imprisoned in a dark dungeon.

Under the leadership of the city of Kanile, he came to the huge and majestic castle behind the ruling government.

In the spacious living room, the sun shines through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, flooding the entire room and making it look bright. Garland was sitting on the soft sofa, and Huimus was sitting next to him, drinking tea with his head down.

And a certain minstrel took his lost bow and stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, wiping it carefully in the sunlight. However, while wiping, he peeked at the sofa with the afterglow of his eyes from time to time.

I don't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit wrong.

Who is that black-haired?

Why is Gal... no, it is Prince Gallan who looks a little bit in front of this person?

Shulos glanced secretly at the corner of his eyes, and saw the dark-haired young man take a cup of tea after taking a slow sip, and brought it to Galland.

Garland didn't respond. As soon as something came in front of his mouth, he subconsciously took a sip of his mouth, licked his lips, and took another sip.

After feeding Galland a few sips of tea, Huimus slightly bent the corner of his mouth.

"Huy... uh, why are you here?"

"Come to you."

"But I left a note and said I wouldn't use it to find me."

"That's just your own idea."

"But didn't you just say, won't you catch me back?"

"Ok."

"...Don't catch me back anyway, so why did you come to me?"

"Follow you." Heimus said, glancing at someone by the window, and the one who was peeking was shocked and turned his head, then, coughing up in a pretentious manner, and walked out of the room through the floor-to-ceiling window. Standing on the big balcony outside, lying on the railing and pretending to look at the scenery.

Taking back his fierce gaze, he said: "You cannot be abducted by others."

Garland: "........."

Heimus took another sip of tea, still the one that gave Galland a few sips.

He said, "Do you think I said "I'll accompany you"? Did you coax you to talk casually?"

"Hyimos, you said, you want the throne..."

"But this is not the throne."

Huimus interrupted Gallan's words.

"I don't need what others give to me, especially that person is you."

The teenager lowered his eyes and his long lashes cast shadows on his cheeks.

"Your self-esteem doesn't require me to give you the throne, so ask me to fight as hard as I can and **** you? Do we want to be enemies for it?"

"I never thought about it that way."

"But that's the fact. Huimus, someone has to retreat, either you or me, no one will give in, then you can only fight, you can't understand this."

"Foreign enemies are still watching. I don't think Aaron Landis can bear the consequences of the two of us fighting."

Garlan pursed his lips tightly, his hands clasped together.

The clenched fingers tightened tightly, and the scenes of previous generations flashed through his brain again at this moment, making his chest tight.

"But now you refuse to retreat, and you still do not let me retreat, so what do you want to do? I don't understand, you must force me to be hostile to you? Killed or killed by you for the throne? Just Like the previous couple—"

"Gallan!"

The shoulders were grasped hard, and the cry suddenly awakened Garland.

He almost swallowed the words he almost blurted out.

He paused and continued: "Like last time... When you were a kid, you were almost burnt to death... At that time, it was probably me, right?"

"Listen, Garland, I never thought that."

Heimus whispered, "I can't be hostile to you, you know, you know why. I want the throne, but I can't trade you for it, and I can't accept it alone."

"but……"

"Without that need, you don't need to leave, because there will be no fighting, and you and I will not be hostile."

Holding Gallan's shoulders tightly, Heimus watched him deeply.

"I do want the throne, but I will be recognized by everyone with my strength. Whether it is King Camos or others, I will use my strength and merit to make them think I am more suitable for you than you. Throne-This is my decision."

The golden-red eyes reflected the face of the teenager. He said: "I said, Gallan, no matter what happens, I will not hurt you. You know, you should understand."

"........."

Heimus's fingers gently flicked Galland's forehead.

"I'm angry, not because of others, but because you said that you left to avoid the struggle between us. You don't trust me, you should know, my feelings."

His fingertips slowly rubbed his golden forehead. His voice was low, sounding like no waves, but it seemed to be brewing some kind of bottomless emotion.

He whispered: "You should know better than anyone, my obsession with you..."

"Wait, wait, wait!"

The boy who was still lip-sucking just now was blushing.

He hurriedly tried to stop Huimus from continuing.

"It's not time to say such a thing, there are people nearby, and the Lord of Canilles is coming soon! What should you do if you are heard?"

"Do you think I care about this kind of thing?"

Heimus raised the corner of his mouth a little, but somehow it looked a little cold, and it made people feel hairy.

From the day Gallan disappeared before his eyes, his reason disappeared a little bit.

He could even feel the dark shadow that enveloped himself a little bit...

What the **** is always false, and the throne is real!

If Gallan really disappeared before him... he didn't know what he would do if he completely lost his mind.

Galan's gaze flicked when he looked at Huimus.

Although he didn't quite understand it, he felt it keenly, and the danger of Heimus' eyes oozing.

The golden red hues sink deeply, as if shadowed by something.

Almost subconsciously, he reached out and touched Huimus' face.

Heimus froze for a moment, but Garland clearly felt the dangerous breath oozing out of his eyes disappeared, and he touched Heimus' face again.

Heimus stopped talking, his lips narrowed slightly, and looked at him.

The eyes didn't know why Gallan thought of the eyes of the abandoned animals.

"I get it, Huimus."

He sighed.

"I was wrong, I shouldn't do such a thing."

He said, "I'll go back."

"Ok?"

"We have a special identity, so don't run around, go back."

Heimus looked at Gallan's eyes, his eyes sharp, as if he wanted to steal his real thoughts from Gallan's eyes.

Garland did not look away, letting the other party look around.

He smiled at Huimus.

He said, "Go back together."

"……it is good."

Just as Gallan was about to get up, the hand that he had just prepared to take back from Huimos' cheek was suddenly held.

Heimus held his wrist, stared at him, and whispered, "Speaking..."

"what?"

"You said you left because you didn't want to be hostile to me, because I was already important to you, and you like me a little, right?"

"No! No! Don't talk nonsense! I don't like men!"

Garland was instantly blown away by the words of Huimos, and suddenly withdrew his hand.

But Huimos didn't even hear Gallan's denial at all, lips raised, rubbing the head of the teenager pamperingly and pamperingly, watching Gallan's eyes reveal a little Smile, there seems to be a shallow light in the eyes.

"I said have you heard it? I have said it many times, and I will not accept you!"

"Good, I heard."

"........."

It doesn't seem to be heard at all.

…………

So what is the atmosphere?

Always feel very wrong!

Who is that dark-haired guy?

Why do they look so intimate?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It's so disturbing!

On the balcony outside the room, lying on the railing and pretending to see the landscape, the bard continued to peek into the room with his eyes, and the fire of gossip was burning in his heart.

…………

……………………

When he heard Garlan say that he would return to the royal city, Lord Kanillet's face was only a little better.

auzw.com He glanced at Heimus with Gallan. Although he didn’t hear what Heimus said at the time, from the manners of behavior, he felt that these two The relationship is still very close.

That’s fine, at least it won’t happen because of the throne.

To be honest, he actually still prefers Heimus who gives a strong sense of strength.

just……

He set his eyes on the blond prince, and the deep wrinkle marks on his forehead wrinkled again.

"Prince Garland, I owe you a life."

Lord Kanile said, his expression was solemn.

"From now on, without disobeying King Camos' order, I will send you."

"Lord Canary, don't worry too much about this..."

"No." The old city owner said seriously, "I rarely owe anything to others in my life, but as long as I owe it, I must pay it back. This is my principle. No matter what you tell me to do, as long as King Camos agrees , I will never quit."

"I see, then, Lord Carnival, I have one thing to ask you now."

"You say."

Is it about supporting him to become the crown prince?

The old town master thought.

"If the city of Twilour is still sufficiently financed, can the tax be waived in the second half of this year. After all, this local movement has caused a large number of people to suffer disasters. If a tax is imposed forcibly, many families may be ruined. You even have to sell yourself as a slave."

In fact, it should be better for disaster relief, but in this era, it is almost impossible, so Gallan can only retreat to the second place, at least to save the victims a little tax.

"........."

It didn't happen that Galan was talking about it, and the old city master didn't react at all.

"Can't it?"

"No, it's not impossible... Okay, Your Highness, Gallan, I will report this to King Camos. Once I get the king's permission, I will do it according to your orders."

Having finished speaking, Lord Kanile looked back at the staff behind him, and the middle-aged staff nodded slightly before taking a step forward.

"His Royal Highness, the team that is rude to you, what are you going to do?"

He asked, bowing his head respectfully.

"Ok?"

"I have sent someone to imprison him in secret, and I can now bring him in."

"no need."

Garlan didn't care about that kind of person.

This is to deceive the villain, why should he take it too seriously.

"But speaking of it, he seemed to have had his hand broken last night."

"..."

Gallan glanced at someone around him with the corner of his eye.

Heimus looked away, not looking at him.

"He can't forgive you for your offense. That kind of irresponsible behavior is really... Lord Kaniere means to execute directly." The staff continued, "Also, the gate guard, and the soldiers who were disrespectful to you at the time. , They have been arrested and are waiting for your disposal."

"City gate guards and those soldiers just forget it, let go, they just obey orders, they don't know of my identity, they are not offended."

"I thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. So, that one, do you think you will be executed directly? Or will you impose more severe penalties..."

Garland thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Confiscation of all his family's property other than his normal income, refund of his unauthorized overpayment of taxes, and then, send him into the village, let him live there, and declare his crimes to everyone, let him in his past The villages where the crimes were committed must not be left until he has paid off all his debts."

The staff froze for a moment, then nodded and retreated.

Subsequently, Gallan and they rejected the old city owner's proposal to send a thousand cavalry to **** them back to the royal city.

After all, he secretly ran out, so it is not good to go back with a big fanfare.

Lord Kanile sent them outside the city.

He looked at Gallan and said, "His Royal Highness, after half a month, I will go to Wangcheng and wish you the best."

Half a month later, it was the period of the crown prince's closing ceremony announced by King Camos.

…………

The horse trotting on the flat road, a bard who had endured for a long time finally couldn't hold back.

"I said, Gal... uh, His Royal Highness, what is your relationship with that one?"

"you guess?"

"...Dare not guess."

What if he accidentally got a bad mouth like last time?

"Then don't guess, you will know when you return to the Wangcheng. But do you really want to return to the Wangcheng with me? Don't you like the kind of noble gathering place?"

"Huh, I saved the prince of Aaron Landis, how can I give a large amount of Aaron coins as a reward?"

Shu Luosi snorted.

"But, having said that, I thought that you would let that team rate go with you. After all, you said that the unknowable is innocent. After all, you are the ruthless and tolerant prince~"

He shrugged.

"Like someone like him, let him work for the civilians he once looked down upon, and pay the blame until death. For him, this punishment makes him more painful than death..."

"Benevolence only needs to be given to people who are equally kind."

Garland said, understatement.

"Some people don't have it themselves, so naturally they don't need to give him."

………………

On the way back to the royal city, the three did not go very fast, mainly because Gallan did not want to return to the royal palace so quickly.

Anyway, Lord Kaneli had already whip up his trail and the matter to go back to King Camos, and Brother Wang would not be so anxious.

One day, when three people who lived in a small city for one night left the small city, when they reached a fork in the road, Heimus, who was quiet in the morning, spoke suddenly.

"Gallan, it's not far from the royal city. You go back first. I have something to go to somewhere else."

After he finished speaking, he set his sights on Shulos.

"Good **** him back."

That sharp look made Shulos nod subconsciously.

Heimus raised his head slightly, turned his horse's head, and galloped toward the other road.

"What is he doing so anxiously?"

Shulos looked at Huimus's almost disappearing back and couldn't help asking.

"I don't know, I haven't heard him say it."

Garland shook his head.

But in retrospect, after seeing a few people in that small city last night, Huimos has been a little thoughtful.

He asked back: "Where is this direction going?"

"This direction? There are many places to go, such as Lake Yass, Ferotmi, Kodak, Yalma Mountain, Tiyadali City, Munister City, Muhir City, etc., Are all in this direction."

On the living map, Shulos said the names of a large number of cities or famous mountain lakes in one breath. Anyway, Garland had not visited any of them, and none of them knew.

Forget it, let's go back to Wangcheng first.

Garlan thought, embarking on the road to the royal city.

After riding for a long time, I saw that in the evening, there was a small town in front of me.

Shuluosi said: "I will rest here today, and I will be able to arrive at Wangcheng tomorrow at noon."

Gallan nodded, and he was about to return to the royal city. He felt a little sorry in his heart.

It’s a pity that he didn’t go to the many cities that Shulos said.

Those cities...

…………

Wait, I always feel... a name seems familiar...

That is……

Seeing that the gate of the small town was about to be reached, Garland suddenly leaped.

"Shuluos!"
