A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Ilmia, a city located northwest of Aaron Landis.

It is located in the plateau area down from the high mountain area north of Aaron Landis, and it is far away from the king city.

The class status of Aaron Landis used to be strict. The nobles considered themselves to be noble and rarely married to the class below them. Even among the nobles, they are divided into superior nobles and inferior nobles.

The upper-class nobles of the brown skin belong to the higher race. Although they will marry the women of the lower-level nobility as the side chamber, in order to maintain the pure blood of the higher-level race, they will only marry the women who are also the upper-level nobility as the main chamber.

Some of the superior nobles are particularly stubborn about this kind of thing. They hate their noble bloodline to be confused with this kind of thing.

Because of this, the owner of the city of Irmia became a famous love among the aristocratic class of Aaron Landis.

As a superior aristocrat or even a prince with a little royal blood, he actually married a woman of a subordinate aristocrat as his wife, and he was very fond of it, and there was only such a wife throughout his life.

This incident caused a great uproar in the circle of superior aristocracy. Many people were impressed by his behavior, there were sneer, sneer, admiration, sneer, and cold eyes.

In general, the people who still laugh at the majority.

In particular, the first child born after the marriage of the city owner inherited the blood of his mother, and when he was white-skinned, it also attracted a lot of sarcasm from the superior aristocracy.

The Lord of Ylmia has always been very fond of his beautiful wife, so that she can endure the ridicule of others.

However, he did not have such good patience for this child who gave birth to him with great hope and disappointed him.

He felt that this child, who obviously inherited the blood of the lower class nobility, was not qualified to inherit his position as the city's lord.

In disappointment, under the strange eyes of others, he was quite cold with his child, and even had a little dissatisfaction with the wife who gave birth to the child.

Sensing her husband's dissatisfaction, the wife of the city owner who was completely dependent on her husband was in a state of panic, and she hated the white-skinned child who caused her to lose her husband's favor.

She gave the baby directly to the nurse, left her alone, and took care of her body wholeheartedly, and wanted to quickly regenerate a baby to grab her husband's heart.

So, soon, she was pregnant again.

What made her very grateful to the gods of Aaron Landis is that this time, the children she gave birth inherited her husband's blood, not only possessing the brown skin that symbolizes the higher race, but even the appearance is very similar to the city owner.

As soon as the child was born, he was happily held in his arms by the city owner, and he couldn't put it down. He named it "Sinyas", which means "people blessed by mountains and water".

At the celebration of the child's full moon, he directly announced in public that this brown-skinned child is his future heir.

Unlike the birth of the eldest son and the indifference at the full moon, under the order of the city's master, the entire city of Ilmiya celebrated three days and three nights.

These two children, who have the same parents but have completely different fate, have grown up.

As the eldest son of Gallan, although he was not severely treated for his prosperity, he was treated coldly by his parents from an early age.

Fortunately, my father is not close to his faint heart, but he still fulfills his duties as a father and sends someone to take care of him and teach him. But her mother rarely had a good face for him, perhaps because when she saw him, she remembered the most difficult time when she was anxious. She even hated him a little.

She is very fond of her youngest son, pampered, but mean to give her eldest son a little tenderness.

When Garland was young, he envyed his brother for being spoiled in his mother's arms, and wanted to grab his mother's hand, but as soon as he approached, his mother immediately frowned, and ordered the nurse who took care of him to take him Take away.

As he grew older, he understood his mother's eyes, and no longer tried to approach the woman who had his mother's name but hated him.

In Aaron Landis, the suffix of the name is "Si", which means to pray to the gods and ask them to bless this child.

Many nobles name their beloved sons with suffixes on their suffixes, praying to the gods to protect their children.

Garland.

It means ‘clear day’, which means that he was born on a sunny day.

Other than that, nothing else.

Children are very sensitive and feel more popular than adults.

From a very young age, Gallan had understood that his parents had only his younger brother in his eyes. He learned to stay aside and no longer tried to approach his parents, eager for their pets.

Later, King Camos summoned children all over the country with blood from the royal family.

His parents did not want to send away the beloved baby, so he was sent to the palace.

Later, beyond all expectations, he was selected by King Camos to become the younger brother and became the prince of Aaron Landis.

The child who was treated coldly by his biological parents was favored by no one who was unrelated to him.

During the period after Gallan was officially established as the younger brother, his father, the Lord of Ilmira, successively asked King Camos to let Gallan go back, and the family was finally reunited. This request was After investigating the rejection of King Camos, who had already learned Garland's childhood, he again asked him to come to the city and meet his children.

Because the hereditary city owner could not go to the king's city without the king's permission.

King Camos told Galland directly about this matter and asked Gallan's own opinion.

At that time, Garland shook his head and refused his biological father's request.

King Camos, who was answered by Garland, nodded and sent a messenger to the city of Irmia. I don’t know what King Camos asked the messenger to say to the city owner. Since then, the city owner has never dared to contact Gal. Lan.

...

As for his brother, Gallan still remembers.

His younger brother was only two years younger than him. When he came to Wangcheng, but was about seven years old, his younger brother was only five years old.

At that time, the younger brother was just a small, soft ball.

Unlike his indifferent parents, his brother seems to be very close to him, and he likes to stick to him.

He still remembers how the little kid grinned and dragged his clothing corner to run behind him.

Although the birth of this younger brother who completely inherited his father's appearance took away all his parents' favor, Gallan did not hate this younger brother.

Because he knew that even if Xinyas was not born, his parents would not like him.

Moreover, his younger brother was born with a thin body. When he was born, he was like a cat.

Later, when I grew up, I was weak and could not help but wind up. I was shorter than him. The thin body, like a gust of wind, could blow away. I took a few more steps and started to pant. The lips become pale and pale.

He looked nervous, let alone regarded him as a mother with eyes.

Because of his frailty, his mother protected his younger brother tightly and airtightly. He hadn’t broken off any kind of tonic since childhood, and he was so nervous when he fell down that he could only hold it in his mouth.

She also tried to prevent Cynthia from getting close to him, as if to prevent him from killing Cynthia for his inheritance, but Cynthia was very sticky to him. Hearing that he was about to leave, Cynthia also cried a lot. In the end, he cried out of breath, and got another fever and sickness, terrifying his mother.

And he was also scolded badly by his mother for his bad looks.

This is Garland's complete memory of'Garland' as a child.

Then, what Galland experienced was that he refused to let the incompetent father of the city owner come to see him.

The child was not sensible, but he knew very well that the city owner suddenly changed his attitude towards himself, only because he became a prince.

He did not intend to have any involvement with the extremely eccentric parents of ‘Gallan’, so he naturally refused rudely.

However, five years ago, the owner of Ilmiya died unexpectedly, and somehow was the father of blood, so Gallan finally went to Ilmia.

There, he saw his blood-related mother and his brother Xinyas.

The woman's face was as good as what he remembered, with a little more haggard and uneasy, but because of the extraordinary beauty it gave people a pitiful feeling.

She hugged the baby in her arms tightly and looked at her strange first son with a defensive eye.

Garland didn't care about the woman, just set her eyes on the child in her arms.

Not seen for a few years, Cynthia, who has just turned ten years old, is still the thin and thin look in her memory, with thin hair and thin arms and legs, like a bamboo pole, which can be broken with a little effort.

It's all a sick child.

The child looked at him eagerly, with longing in his eyes. He seemed to want to come and talk to him, but he was held tightly by his mother like a life-saving grass. he.

The woman's attitude towards him was too obvious, and Garland had no affection for her. He only planned to stay in the city for one night and leave the next day.

What made him unexpected was that the cowardly younger brother secretly ran over to him at night.

Obviously only two years younger than him, but thinner and shorter than his head. As he approached, he could smell the faint smell of medicine on the child, as if it was soaked in a medicine jar.

"……brother……"

That night, the child tugged at his corner timidly and shouted weakly and quietly.

"I miss you...brother..."

The child's eyes were full of anticipation, and people couldn't bear to break it. Gallan touched his head and smiled at him.

As soon as the child's eyes lit up, he laughed happily.

"Brother~~"

He shouted crisply.

However, he only had time to shout so loudly that he was hugged back by the maids chased by the news.

Later, Garland heard that the woman would lose her temper and cried as soon as Cynthia left her sight.

When Garland set off from the city of Ilmia, the woman naturally did not come to deliver, and of course Singas, who was staring closely at it, was certainly not able to show up.

But, on the way back to Wangcheng, the face of the child who shouted his brother timidly with his short robe lingered in his mind.

Also, when the chased maid took him back, the child crossed his shoulders and looked at him with wide eyes and pale eyes.

That looks really pitiful.

Garlan thought about it, and after returning to the king's city, he asked King Camos to send a highly skilled physician to the city of Ilmia.

Although he had no feelings for his blood-related parents, the child was not wrong. When he was very young, he knew that he was protecting his brother, but his body was too weak, and many things were beyond his power.

After all, it was also his younger brother.

Rounding it up, it was barely a brother...

After the sent physician returned, Gallan reportedly angered Garran.

The doctor said that the reason why the child is so thin is not because he is sick, but because he has been inactive since he was a child, and he is constantly feeding medicine.

Because the soup is eaten too much, the child has a bad appetite, eats less, and does not move, which naturally leads to severe malnutrition.

The doctor frowned and said that if he went on like this, the child would not survive for ten years, but when he said so to the widowed lady of the city owner, the lady cried all the time, saying that Prince Garland wanted to harm himself The child, certainly uneasy and kind-hearted, and wanting to take away the location of the city owner, refused to stop the child's medicine, and even shut the child in the house even more vigorously, preventing him from taking a step.

The doctor couldn't persuade him, and at last he was helpless and could only return to Wangcheng to report to the prince.

Are you upset?

At that time, the angry Garland chuckled.

He turned around and went to Xiemuer. He ordered two Shamarsh priests from Xiemuer. Then he asked Brother Camos to borrow some loyal officials who were good at managing affairs. Let Captain Tupiti recommend an old and straight-tempered female officer.

Then he sent these people to the city of Ilmiya with a single brain.

As soon as the old lady took the shot, as the gift of King Camos, she clamped the lady of the city owner whose brain is a pile of straw bags in addition to her beauty.

The two priests of Samash unkindly took the young Lord of Ilmia away from his mother, forcibly and gradually exercised the thin child and taught him martial arts.

auzw.com And those officials are naturally sincere and sincere to take care of the affairs in the city, and patiently teach the young city owners. They all know that they will return to the political center of the royal city sooner or later, so there is no possibility of coveting the power in the city.

After doing all this, Garland received the letter from the old lady soon after.

The letter said that everything was done properly, please be assured that the prince was just a lady in the past who used her own identity to make people dared not violate her. Now that they have represented the king, she will not dare to make trouble Then, I could only shrink in the room every day and shed tears sadly, not daring to say a word.

Seeing this news, Garland felt more comfortable.

Along with the letter from the old lady, there was also a text message with immature handwriting.

It was a letter written by Xinyas. The letter said that he did not like to eat, but the two priests sent by his brother always let him eat a lot.

In the letter, Xinyas carefully asked him if he had a good meal and could see his brother in the future?

Upon seeing the letter, Gallan could not help seeing the thin child's eyes eagerly looking at him.

He wasn't really sure he would see Singas again, but after thinking about it, in order to make the child obedient, he returned the letter in a coquettish tone.

Gallan wrote back to Sinjas and said that as long as he ate well and waited until he was tall and strong, he was allowed to come to see himself.

That's Garlan's last memory of his **** brother.

…………

……………………

At this moment, Gallan's eyes widened, and he looked at the strong man in front of him like a calf. His brain crashed for a while, and he couldn't recover.

He said at that time... When he grows tall and strong, he can come to see him.

But is there a limit?

Recalling the memory of the sick and weak child who was so thin and windy that he fell short of his head, and then looked at the muscular young boy holding him tightly at the moment.

The muscular limbs, the developed muscles, and the height of more than half a head taller than him...

Garland felt what he thought of him and how he felt like seeing the priests of Samash who were proud of their strength and strength.

...

Ah, it is indeed the result of the teaching of the priests of Samash.

"...Sinyas?"

"Well, it's me, brother, I miss you so much!"

"You have changed so much..."

More than just big, it's like two people.

Gallan once again remembered the shock of his life when he saw Brother Camos, who was still a handsome young man.

"Yeah, thanks to the two priests you sent, they taught me how to grow tall and strong, because you said, only this way, let me come to see you."

The **** dog-like brother laughed silly and looked at Gallan's bright eyes, almost seeing a big fluffy tail behind him shaking hard at Gallan.

"Look, brother, I'm very tall and strong." He raised his hand and gestured on his head. "It's taller than you--"

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

The younger brother, who was stubborn at the first meeting, did not want it.

Probably his speechless expression was too obvious at the moment. The tough face of the teenager who had a brilliant smile on his face collapsed all at once, and the invisible tail behind him seemed to languish.

He let go of Gallan's hand and took a step back, both hands hanging awkwardly in the air.

"Brother, do you... don't like me?"

He raised his hands and took a step back, looking at Garlan's eyes with an uneasy look, and his face was somewhat at a loss.

He remembered the act of rushing over without saying anything, and his face was annoyed.

Originally, the Raya priest had repeatedly taught him how to see the prince's etiquette many times. He also told him that even if he is a brother, he is now a distinguished prince. After he comes in, he must first salute his brother.

But he was so excited to see his brother who had been thinking about it for a long time, and he forgot all the things that Raya priest taught him, and rushed over to hug someone without thinking.

...Does brother think he doesn't understand etiquette, so he doesn't like him anymore?

With such a thought, the teenager's brain shrank.

"I'm sorry, brother, not... Lord Prince, I was rude, I apologize to you, I'm just too excited, uh... because I can finally see you... I have been thinking for a long time."

The young city of Ilmia looked sullen and whispered, "You don't like it, I won't be like this in the future."

Garland was speechless in the beginning about the behavior of this younger brother.

Brother Wang said it was a surprise to him, Gallan thought it was more like a shock.

For him, this so-called younger brother is like a stranger, but now suddenly appears in front of him, and he is too enthusiastic about him, naturally makes him feel uncomfortable.

However, his brother immediately sensed his face, immediately released his hand, and took two steps back.

At that moment, he shrank his hands and stood there cautiously, staring at him as if he had the same eyes as the thin child five years ago eagerly watching him.

Gallan sighed softly in his heart.

Although the body shape has changed, the inner part doesn't seem to grow up.

Thinking about it, he looked again at the big brother who was half his head tall.

He suddenly said, "Crouch down."

I was anxiously thinking about whether my brother didn't like Cynthia, but the body had subconsciously squatted obediently.

Xie Muer next to him: "..."

Other onlookers: "............"

Even if you are young, you are the master of a city.

Gallan looked at the young man squatting in front of him. Although he was healthy, the face was still a bit childish. At this moment, the young man looked up at him with uneasiness all over his face.

He smiled, reaching for the dark brown curly hair of the crouching teenager.

"You grew up, Xinyas."

He smiled at his brother and said,

"You are very obedient and have kept your agreement with me well."

When he wrote back, he was only sympathetic to the child fostered by the stupid woman. He coaxed the child to get better soon, but he did not expect that the child put his coaxing words in his heart.

In just five years, it was possible to change from the appearance of being weak and unable to control the wind to the appearance of being tall and strong now. It can be seen that the child must have worked very hard to realize the promise to meet him.

"You work hard and do a good job."

Garland touched his head and praised him with a smile.

The squatted boy looked up at Gallan with bright eyes.

He remembered that five years ago, when he first ran counter to the meaning of his mother, when he secretly ran to his brother, he also touched his head in the same way and smiled at him.

"Okay, stand up."

Patted Sinus' head again, Gallan said.

The hand that touched the head left, and the **** dog of Cynthia shook his tail vigorously and stood up. He slammed at Galland, and after a while he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, the priest of Raya said that when he met, he would like to congratulate his brother on becoming the crown prince, and I forgot again."

"Actually, I asked His Majesty to come to the King City from the beginning of this year, but His Majesty has always refused to agree." He said a bit wrongly, "It wasn't until this time that your brother became the crown prince, Your Majesty allowed me to come and see him in the King City."

Garland found that the child seemed to lack roots.

Speaking of which, ordinary people really can't do that coaxing the child's words as a promise to do such a thing honestly, but the child did it stubbornly.

Honestly too thick.

He thought it seemed that it was necessary for Xiemuer to carefully inquire about the two priests of Samash who had been sent to Xinyas.

"His Royal Highness, we are almost gone, the trainer is still waiting for us."

A bodyguard came over and whispered a reminder of Huimos who had been watching quietly.

Heimus looked at the brown-skinned teenager who was smiling at Garland, frowned without a trace, then shook his head.

"You take Annu back, the training this afternoon is cancelled."

He says,

"I have something to stay here."

"Yes."

Xie Muer and others left first, and Huimus made an excuse to stay.

Perhaps it was because finally seeing the brother he had been thinking about, Xinyas was very excited.

All afternoon spent fartly behind Gallan, like a big tail, while circling Gallan while talking about his own affairs in the past few years.

It's like an ignorant child, and his brother is so entangled.

Kehuos looked at the young man who followed Gallan, and glanced at the other side of Heimus with the corner of his eye.

Heimos sat there quietly, his eyes down, his expression indifferent, as if reading a book.

Kehuos chuckled in his heart.

Pretend, you continue to pretend to be calm.

The unpleasant breath emanating from the whole body could not be suppressed.

Now you know that when you stick to Prince Garland, is the mood of King Camos?

In the blink of an eye, it was time for a break. Kehuos retired to Galland, and was responsible for returning the young city master to Xiemuer.

A glance in the corner of his eyes clearly saw Huimus, who also got up, looked slightly better.

The big boy stood at the door and looked at Garlan reluctantly. He hesitated for a long time and finally summoned his courage. He whispered to Garlan: "Brother, can I sleep with you at night..."

Garland has not answered.

Kehos hasn't reacted yet.

Heimos had stepped forward, reaching out his face blankly, grabbing the back collar of Xinas from behind, and dragging out the whole of him in such abrupt manner.

"Wait, wait a minute, let me go, brother--"

Xinyas danced and struggled hard, but he couldn't get rid of Huimus's hand, and he could only be dragged out of the gate.
