A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

In the spacious room, floor-to-ceiling windows are open, and bright sunlight comes in from the outside.

Gallan sat in the olive-wood chair above, with his hands on the smooth tan armrests. Because the weather is relatively hot today, the clothing is mainly loose and simple, and the short, short cloak just over the waist falls behind him.

Xie Muer and Kehuosi stood on the left side of his seat, one left and one right, and a middle-aged man with a strong sacred robe kneeling under him.

The rune of Shamash on the shoulder of the sacrificial robe symbolizes the identity of the priest.

"You mean that because of the physical damage when I was a child, it is very likely that Cynthia's brain was also damaged?"

"Yes, His Royal Highness, Prince Sias, his body suffered too much loss in his childhood, leading to severe malnutrition, which lasted until his teens."

The Raya priest was also very emotional and helpless.

"You sent us to protect His Excellency Sinjas, we do our best to do our best, but the loss of the body can slowly make up, but..."

He stopped halfway through, obviously it was not good to continue.

"The doctor said after the inspection that it was not only due to malnutrition, but also that it was because of the long-term use of decoctions from the infancy of Sienas, which damaged the brain. Fortunately, your Highness, you extended a helping hand in time to protect Sienas. , Otherwise his condition will be worse."

"Is the brain damaged when I was young? But I think Cynthia is normal?"

Although it seems stupid...

"Yes, Your Highness, the situation of His Excellency Cynthia is very slight, but it may be a bit slow in thinking, it is difficult to think about complex things, the growth in thought is slow, and he is very stubborn about what he believes, other things are normal ."

"According to what you said, in fact, Xinyas is lacking roots in his brain. He is more naive and stubborn. Is everything normal?"

"..." The priest of Raya choked for a while and then continued to answer, "You can say that."

"I know."

Garland nodded.

"In the past few years, you have worked hard."

He said, "Sinyas may have matured in thinking later than the average person, and is still a child's temper, but he is still shouldering the responsibility of a city. I am worried that he will be fooled or used by intentional people. "

"Therefore, I can only rest assured that you, the upright priests of Shamash, are by his side."

He smiled at the Raya priest, "Raya, my brother will come to you in the future. He may not be smart, but, I believe, under your teaching, he will surely grow into a Rusha Marsh People who are upright and strong."

The priest of Raya bowed deeply.

"I will never fail your trust in your Highness."

He replied slightly excitedly.

For the priests of Samash, praising their integrity is the greatest praise to them.

Especially this praise was spoken by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which made him happy and excited.

"By the way, will Cynthia's mother come back to find him?"

"No, Your Highness, the former city-owner's wife has never returned to the city of Ilmia since she was remarried more than three years ago, nor has she come to see Sinjas."

Speaking of this, the Raya priest frowned.

"........."

Garland lowered his eyes, his eyes slightly cold.

At first, the old female officer had sent him a message that the woman had just cherished her husband more than a year after she died, so she couldn't wait to marry again to the elite of another city, leaving behind the eleven-year-old Cynthia.

Garland didn't think she couldn't marry any more, but she left her young child who was still sick at the time, and ignored them for several years, which was too cruel.

In the past, the woman regarded Cynthia very seriously, and a loving mother who really loved him. In fact, it was only because Cynthia could guarantee her status. When the people she sent to suppress her, she found that she could not After continuing to be her superior lady of the city, she immediately abandoned Cynthia.

She only loves himself.

That woman is like dodder flower, she can only attach and absorb the nutrients of others, and let herself bloom beautiful flowers.

Fortunately, let that woman leave far away.

Otherwise, with the character of the woman, Cynthia might be parasitized by her dodder flower for a lifetime.

"Raya, if..."

If the woman is found back, don't let her see Sinjas.

Garland paused to say so.

Although Gallan didn't take that woman seriously, for Cynthia, it was his biological mother after all, and he should remember that his mother loved him very much.

He has no power to make a decision for Cynthia and limit who he can meet.

"Nothing, go on."

"Yes, Your Highness."

…………

After finishing his interview with officials and others in the morning, Gallan had just returned to the palace at noon to finish his meal, and his big brother ran over again.

When Gallan told him there was something else, and he didn’t have time to play with him, he sat on the side and looked at Gallan with his eyes open, with a face of'I will be very obedient and won't disturb you' expression.

That pair of eyes looked at him like a big dog, so Gallan could only let him go.

Although he is now the crown prince, it does not mean that Gallan can handle government affairs independently. Xiemuer will select some less important matters for him, let him make a review, and write down his handling opinions.

Of course, what he writes will eventually be judged by Xiemuer or Sequi, find out the unreasonable places, and then teach him.

When Galland finally read all the stacks of parchment paper that Xie Muer had given him in the morning, and after writing down his handling opinions, he looked up and most of the afternoon had passed.

When he thought about it, hey, Cynthia was still here. He patronized these headache documents, and forgot the existence of Cynthia.

Thinking this way, as soon as Garran looked up, he saw Cynthia sitting in a chair, his body crooked, his head crooked to the side, and he didn't know when to sleep.

The mouth was still wide open, making him look funny.

Garland walked over and patted Sinus gently.

Xinyas opened his eyes, looked up at him, his eyes were sleepy, and the whole person looked like he had fallen asleep.

Rubbing his eyes confusedly, when he was awake, he was clearly seen. The teenager grinned at him with a big mouth, how silly the smiley face looked.

"Brother~"

Xinya shouted happily at Gallan.

The young boy's eyes were bright and clean, like a newborn baby, and his eyes were full of Gallan's shadow.

"Are you done?"

The look of expectation, at a glance, knew that the next sentence he didn't say was-can you play with me?

Garland smiled.

He thought about it and asked, "Sinyas, do you remember your mother?"

"remember."

Xinyas answered very happily, making Gallan a little surprised.

He thought that mentioning that woman Xinyas would always show a sad expression, did not expect the child didn't seem to care much.

"Do you want to see her?"

Xinyas thought for a moment, then shook his head.

"No need," he said, "I just need to see my brother."

"You don't want her?"

Garland asked curiously.

Xinyas shook his head.

"I want to see my brother because my brother's eyes are very gentle. I like being seen by others, and I like my brother's eyes, so I will work hard to complete your agreement with my brother and come to see you."

The boy said seriously,

"But my mother is different. She looks at me completely differently from your brother. She looks at me just like the dog she raised. I don't like it, I don't like it very much, so I don't care to see her."

"I used to listen to my mother because she said that I am a child and must listen to my mother, but now that I have grown up, I can stop listening to her."

Cynthia said, suddenly grinning at Gallan.

"But what my brother said, I must listen."

He spoiled at Gallan, and there seemed to be a **** fluffy tail behind him, shaking hard at Gallan.

He glanced at Garland's eyes, and he knew what he was expecting at a glance.

Garland smiled.

He reached out and touched the seat of Cynthia who was sitting.

The big boy narrowed his eyes and happily enjoyed being touched by his favorite brother, his mouth wide open.

Cynthia is not stupid, nor is his mind not good.

As he touched Sinus' head, Gallan thought.

He is purely thinking like a child, straightforward, simple, black and white.

But because he was a child, he could clearly feel that the people around him held goodwill to him and who was malicious to him.

Children are never bound by the so-called moral concepts and codes of conduct of adults.

Whoever is good to him is good to him.

The child's thinking is so simple and clear.

This is true of Xinyas.

Garlan thought.

After coming to this world, he has always had no affection for the original family of ‘Gallan’, and he does not want to be in any connection.

But now he feels that it seems good to have an obedient younger brother.

…………

After handing over the pile of parchment papers with written opinions to the door, she watched as she finished the inspection and nodded to take away the papers together, then Garland was relieved.

He suddenly felt like he was back when he was a child and gave homework to Xie Muer.

Ah, today's task is finally completed.

He stretched out against the bright sunshine for a long time, he thought.

Come have an afternoon tea.

Cynthia did not have any opinions on Gallan’s proposal. For him, as long as he can stay with his brother, he is very happy to do anything.

Soon, the maidservants delivered delicious biscuit desserts and fresh fruit.

Xinyas sat cross-legged, holding a fresh orange in his hand, and he happily wanted to peel it to his brother. But just after half peeling, he saw a maid serving a cup to Galland. come.

In the transparent glazed glass, the light green liquid reflects the sunlight and reflects a little shimmer, which is very beautiful.

He watched his brother carrying a glazed glass and sitting on his knees, his body lying lazily on the soft backrest and soft pillow.

Brother's fingers are completely different from him, slender and white.

He saw his elder brother sitting there, long hair like gold drooping from his shoulders, and his eyelashes drooped slightly, which was really beautiful.

When he was young, he always heard others say that his mother looked good, but Cynthia now felt that his brother was better looking than anyone else.

He didn't know why his parents didn't like his brother, who clearly looked so white like snow.

"brother."

Looking at his brother, he couldn't help but want to be coquettish.

"I want to drink yours too."

His sense of smell was very sensitive, and he smelled the wine. He was always curious about the taste of wine, but the Raya priest said he was young and forbidden to dunk the wine.

Gallan was drinking fruit wine lazily and enjoying the quiet time of afternoon tea. Cynthia said so, he looked at the pale green fruit wine in his hand and hesitated.

Although Xinyas looks tall and strong, but still only a fifteen-year-old boy, is it not good for children to drink?

He thought so, just wanted to refuse, as soon as he looked up, he saw that Cynthia could not wait to come over to him, and he looked at him shiningly with a pair of ears on his head, and the pair seemed to be big. The dog-like look for food is really unbearable.

Hmm... It's just fruit wine. The alcohol level is very low. He can drink it when he's about fifteen or sixteen years old. Should Sinjas drink it too?

As soon as the thought turned, Garland turned to look at the maid standing beside holding the glazed jug, and begged her to pour a drink to Xinyas.

"You are young and can only drink a glass."

He said to Xinyas.

"Good~~"

After receiving the fruit wine happily, Xinyas licked it with his tongue.

Um, sweet, with a very strange taste.

However, it was delicious, and he liked what his brother liked.

Thinking about it, the teenager drank the fruit wine in a few bites.

After drinking, he licked his lips and was a little bit greedy, and wanted to continue to drink, but his brother said that he could only drink a glass, he had to obey.

Only after being obedient will my brother like him.

...

Ok……

Strange...how did my brother become two?

Ah, three more... How did he feel dizzy? He just fell asleep just now, and now he seems to want to sleep again...

Um... so dizzy...

Watching Cynthus gobble a few times and drink a glass of fruit wine in one breath. Before Gallan responded, he saw Cynthia grinning at him with a grin and a red face like a red apple.

Then, the swaying young man smiled and laughed, and suddenly his eyes closed, his head tilted, and he fell to the table, so he screamed and fell asleep.

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

This is commonly known as a pour?

His Royal Highness Prince stared at his brother, very speechless.

Such a big man, such a big man, was actually drunk by a glass of low-concentration fruit wine.

Forget it, just wake up.

Gallan shook his head, but asked the maid to cover Xinas with a thin blanket, and let Xinsiya continue to sleep.

And he continued to lazily lie in the soft backrest pillow, squinting, and drinking light green fruit wine comfortably.

The sun was just right, falling from the skylight, and it just happened to shine on him, warm.

The room was quiet, only Cynthia's slightly thick breath sounded rhythmically.

Tiredly, Garland yawned, handed the little wine left in his hand to the maid on the side, said a word to let her back, don't disturb herself, and then nestled comfortably in a soft pillow Doze off.

…………

The crown prince took a nap in the room, and the maids had retreated to the door as he had ordered, closed the door, and kept at the door, waiting for the crown prince to wake up and call her in.

After a while, some people came here before waiting for the call.

When the leading maid saw the person, she bowed her head and bowed.

"His Royal Highness."

"Garland is inside?"

"Yes, Your Highness, His Royal Highness Prince is taking a nap inside, let us not disturb."

Hearing that Garland was taking a nap, the hand that Heimos had just about to push the door came to a halt, hesitating whether to wait for dinner to come back.

And just as he hesitated, the maid said again.

"His Sinjas was also asleep inside because he drank some wine and seemed to be drunk."

"........."

With the hand paused in front of the door, Huimus pushed the door open and stepped into it.

He said, "You continue to stay outside."

After entering, he saw at a glance the big boy who was lying on the table with his body tilted and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Heimus's eyes suddenly froze.

But Cynthia slept, and couldn't see Huimus's cold eyes that made it hard for ordinary people to look at.

When he looked away from Xinas and fell on the person opposite, Huimus's eyes instantly became soft.

In the fluffy soft velvet pillow, Gallan nestled inside.

The long blond hair fell down the snow-white pillow, the young boy's fair cheeks and most of his body fell into the soft pillow, and the whole den became a small ball.

Pale pink lips slightly open, spit out a shallow breath.

Perhaps it was because of drinking fruit wine, there was a little pink on the cheeks.

A glance made Huimus feel that the softest place deep in his heart moved.

He walked over, leaned over, stretched out his hands, and embraced Gallan nestled in the pillow.

Passing by Singas, who was still sleeping, he quickly walked into the bedroom with the man in his arms, and then put Gallan lightly on the bed.

Gallan, who was put down, seemed to feel a more comfortable place, and the corners of his eyes were slightly bent, as if satisfied.

Turning his head slightly, the teenager's nose twitched softly, adjusted to the most comfortable posture, and continued to fall asleep.

Heimus' lips could not help raising upwards.

He reached out and touched Garland's head.

As long as he looked at this sleeping face, his chest seemed to be crumpled into a soft mass.

He had just touched Gallan's head, and it seemed that Gallan in the dream felt it and took the initiative to put his head over, rubbing his forehead against his hand.

It looks like a cute little white cat.

After rubbing, his lips were pursed.

Eyes fell uncontrollably on the pale pink lips, and Heimus took a deep breath, then took another deep breath.

He wanted to endure.

But the teenager's lips moved slightly, pink, and a little white appeared from the slightly opened lips.

So, did not hold back.

Putting one hand on Garland's forehead, Heimos, who was sitting by the bed, leaned deeply, and the kiss with unspeakable compassion fell gently on Garland's lips.

……………………

Xinyas was sleeping soundly, and suddenly something seemed to brush his forehead, waking him up.

He got up and rubbed his eyes, and saw that the nasty guy who dragged him away from his brother appeared again yesterday, and took his brother away from him.

What woke him up just now seemed to be that this man walked past him, and the cloak that floated behind him swept his forehead.

Xinyas just stayed for a while, and the man he didn't like had already carried his brother into the room inside.

He got up quickly, too late to wear shoes, so he chased past barefoot.

As soon as he reached the door, he looked inside, his eyes suddenly widened.

What is that guy doing to his brother? ! !
