A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The matter ended in silence.

The head of the old ambassador of Tasda looked at Stoke, who had stopped breathing, and his eyes were very complicated.

This young man was once a Tasda warrior who was proud of the Tasda and admired by countless people. He should have had a glorious future.

Today, it is buried silently in the desert of other countries.

In the most infamous manner, even after death, they will be spurned by the public.

The old man closed his eyes, concealing the complex look of his eyes, and sighed.

If... Stoke can be more stupid, maybe he won't go down that terrible road and end up now.

The flames in the camp had gradually burned out and went out.

The surviving Tasda, who endured the grief, began to consolidate the remains of his dead compatriots.

They will take all their dead compatriots home and bury them under the land of their homeland.

Opada knelt beside the dead Stoke for a long time, then he stood up, took a deep breath, picked up Stoke's body, and walked toward the carriage.

No matter what Stoke did while he was alive, he was ultimately his elder brother, son of his father and adult, and a Tasda, he would take his body back to Tasda.

His actions made everyone around him look around, but no one said anything, and no one stopped him.

No matter what serious crimes Stoke committed during his lifetime, the lights of death are extinguished.

Insulting the body is the most disgraceful behavior.

Kehos had already turned over and dismounted. At this moment, he was standing beside Garland, watching Opada carrying the body away.

Then he turned to look at Gallan.

"Prince, what did you say to that guy last?"

Seeing that the prince had just gathered a word and made Stoke's determined, ridiculous face suddenly turn into unwillingness and regret, Kehuos was really curious and couldn't help asking.

Gallan glanced at him and smiled.

"Secret~~"

He pursed his lips and said with a curvy smile.

Just a moment ago, Stoke's self-righteous eyes were angry, and for a moment, his head was angry, before he deliberately told that kind of lie.

After thinking about it later, he also felt that he was short-circuited at the time. How could he say that kind of words, in case it was known...

Then I thought about it again. Only the person who knew what he said was still Stoke, and the dead person could not speak, and he was not so stupid to leak it out. Naturally, what he said was buried forever. Secret.

So, Garland, who was so relieved after thinking about it, completely forgot about this matter.

Then he turned and ran to the strong brown-red horse.

I don't know what's going on, since after stoking Stoke with a sword, Huimus seems to have been in a daze, not knowing what to think.

The vast majority of people had dismounted, and after busy finishing the aftermath, Huimus was still sitting on the horse, his eyes down, and his thoughtful look.

"Hymos?"

Garland shouted twice, and it seemed that Huimos suddenly woke up.

He glanced at Galan, who had reached his horse. His pupils contracted slightly invisible, but he quickly converged and returned to his usual calm look.

Then he turned over and dismounted.

"what happened?"

he asks.

"Thanks to you this time."

Garland said to him with a smile.

Thanks to the help of Heimus, it was possible to draw out the Stokes and solve the hidden danger in one fell swoop.

"..."

Heimus felt a little tightness in his chest as he looked at the young man's smile as bright as the sun, and the bright golden eyes watching him.

He never thought that Garland would feel that way about himself.

Obviously Garland said recently that he would reject Opada, because he could not like men at all.

…………

and many more.

Heimus suddenly thought.

Before that, in order to prevent Garland from misunderstanding his relationship with Opada, he once swears fiercely to the sun **** Shamash, and he will never like men.

Is it because he said something like that...Gallan didn't let him perceive his feelings, so...

Thinking of this, Huimus suddenly felt that his chest was tight and his breathing was a little difficult.

Gallan liked him, but he said that in front of Gallan.

At that time, when he swears, how will Garland feel?

...Will you be sad?

But I have to pretend that I don’t know anything, and tolerate that uncomfortable mood, and continue to smile at him...

…………

"Hymos, are you tired?"

Seeing Heimos say a few words to himself, he stared at himself and went away, Gallan asked.

Indeed, Heimus showed that in order to deceive Stoke, he rushed to the north and returned halfway. While avoiding the Stoke gang, he also quietly followed the Tusdar mission... …Uh, it seems that Hiemos must have been very hard these days...and he was initially disgusted with Huimos and did not want him to follow him.

With such a thought, Gallan suddenly felt a little guilty.

He raised his eyes and saw that there was a little blood on his cheeks. He stretched out his hand and wanted to help him to wipe.

However, Garland's fingertips had just touched Heimus's cheek, and he hadn't even had time to wipe it. It seemed that the missing Heimus stiffened like an electric shock.

It looked as if it was frightened.

Not knowing how Huimus responded so much, Garland pointed at the **** cheeks in a fog.

"There was blood on you."

"……is it?"

Seeming to finally recover, Huimus raised his hand and wiped the blood on his cheek.

"Sorry, I'm a bit tired indeed."

He lowered his eyes and said.

"I'll take a break first."

"Well, you have a good rest~~ Just give it to me next."

"..."

Heimus nodded in silence, once again glancing at Gallan, who smiled happily at him with his head, and then turned and walked towards the small lake not far away.

Always think that Huimos looks a little strange?

Gallan thought of Heimus as he left.

Are you tired to this extent?

He was strange, and suddenly saw Opada walking towards him quickly.

"Gallan, the head of the mission wants to see you."

…………

Garland followed Opada to an open space, which was still filled with the breath of smoke after the fire.

He saw the old man standing there, the morning sun had risen, shining on the old man's vicissitudes of the face, and the dozens of bodies of the Tasdas who were neatly placed on the open ground in front of the old man.

The old man turned around and looked at Gallan.

"Prince Garland." He said, "The Tastarians thank you for your help."

"No... actually I..."

Garland shook his head. He looked at the dead Tastarians in the open space, his eyes a little sad, and he was apologetic.

"I'm very sorry, in fact, I have long known that a group of forces are staring at us... Originally, you wouldn't have such a big damage, because of my carelessness and miscalculation, it made you lose so many companions."

He was thinking.

Even a horse thief attack, with the strength of the Tasda soldiers, with the assistance of a team of cavalry led by Kehos, can still resist for some time.

That time should be enough for Huimos to come over.

Who knows, there was an internal response in the mission, which made them caught off guard for a while.

After all, he always thinks that the principal behind the scenes is the power of other countries, and he never expected to be a Tasda.

"You don't need to apologize."

The old man shook his head.

"Although I am old, I'm not confused. We have traitors from inside the Tasdas. Those traitors deliberately requested to be on duty tonight, and then joined forces to kill other soldiers on duty, and put the horse thief into the camp, taking advantage of When everyone falls asleep...

Speaking of which, the old man couldn't help but gritt his teeth.

"If it weren't for the traitors, how could the horse thieves easily break into our Tastar camp?"

"Even if you avoid this time, Stoke will find another opportunity to continue what he planned. Opada will die in his hands sooner or later. Prince Garland, I am not confused, we Tasdas have problems themselves. , Resulting in such consequences, will not be blamed on you anyway."

"And, if you are not there, all of us will die here in remorse that cannot reveal the truth."

The old man turned his head, his eyes swept over the dead Tasda warriors.

Although his face looked vicissitudes, his eyes were still bright.

"Now, although they are dead, they are killed in honor."

"We will bring their bodies back to their homeland, and their souls will return to the warlord Azur."

He looked back and looked at Gallan again.

He interrogated the survivors of those who had survived Stoke, and what he learned from them made the old man who had experienced the big winds and waves shocked.

Killing Opada is just the first step, the guy has even planned to deal with his father—

"Prince, I am very grateful to you. Although we have lost forty-three compatriots, we can allow more compatriots to survive in the future."

"If it were not for you to lead Stoke out, if his conspiracy really succeeded, then in the future, the dead Tasdae will not be these dozens, but thousands or even tens of thousands."

"Stoke will kill thousands of Tasdas for his ambitions!"

The old man crossed his arms and placed it on his chest.

He bowed his head deeply to the teenager.

"Prince Garland, I know that you suddenly proposed to accompany us to Tasda, probably because you noticed this...you are not only smart, but kind, and even put yourself at risk to protect us. "

"You saved our lives and saved Tasda, the Tasda people will remember your kindness."

It was not just him, the Opada next to him, and other Tastarians at the moment made the same action as the head of the mission.

They crossed their arms across their chests, lowered their heads, and saluted the young prince.

"From now on, you will always be a Tasda friend."

That is the etiquette of the Tasda people to their most respected friends.

"A wise prince of Aaron Landis, please remember that the Tasda people are your most loyal friends."

The old man who raised his head smiled sincerely to Gallan.

He says,

"If one day, you need help, as long as you shout, the Tasda will respond to your call--"

…………

………………

The sun was hanging high in the sky, and the sun shimmered on the surface of the small lake.

Someone stood there on the hillside beside the lake.

"At the beginning, I never understood why my father didn't give his brother any opportunity to excuse me, he punished his brother without any interrogation, and even secretly complained about his father."

"Now I understand... At that time, with the prestige of Brother Elder in Tasda, if his father did not take the opportunity to imprison him, as long as Brother took the opportunity to shout, there will really be a lot of people to follow him."

The dazzling sunlight shone, and Opada narrowed his eyes.

After one night yesterday, the young man seemed to have grown up a lot overnight.

He looked down at the camp that had been burned by fire and made a sighing sound.

"Adult father has always been proud of his elder brother. Later, when this happened, he didn't seem obvious. In fact, he was really sad in private. I sometimes watch him daze at the martial arts field in the middle of the night."

The whole person has fallen into memory, he whispered.

"At that time, I went up to talk to him. He patted my shoulder and smiled and said to me, if the elder brother is like me, don't be so smart."

"Although he is laughing, he looks sad."

"He said that smart people tend to think too much, too much thinking is unnecessary**, blindly chase those things that come up, and forget the down-to-earth, forget the really important things... so , Be a little confused, it's good."

Speaking of which, Opada closed his mouth and stopped talking.

He turned his head and looked at Gallan standing beside him.

The pale golden hair was scattered on the white cheeks, and the sunlight made the boy's eyes bright as golden amber.

Prince of Aaron Landis.

A beautiful and wise boy who made him feel at a glance.

When this happened, it was impossible for Garland to continue to send the mission to Tasdaq.

So, not long afterwards, it was time for them to part ways.

"Gallan, even if your uncle did not make that kind of commitment, when you are in crisis, as long as you call, I will come to protect you."

He wanted to tell his love to his beloved.

Before parting.

The young boy's eyes looked at him, reflecting his shadow, and then he smiled.

"Thank you, Opada, my friend, I believe in your friendship."

"........."

The words about to be spoken were choked by Garlan's throat, and Opada opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the words.

Gallan regarded him as a friend.

He watched Galland turn his head, looking down at the small lake not far below the hill. Following Gallan's gaze, he saw Heimus resting a few meters away from the lake.

Also, the one-eyed knight with the same blond hair as Gallan.

Garland looked over there and smiled.

He was watching his knight.

Opada thought, his closed lips closed, and swallowed the sentence that had reached his throat.

And at the edge of the lake under the hill, Huimos looked up like he felt something.

He saw Gallan standing on the waist half of the hill looking at himself, smiling happily at himself, and Opada beside Gallan.

Unable to tell why, he suddenly moved.

Subconsciously, his attention was focused on that spot in an instant.

Naturally, he heard the conversation between the two.

At the moment, on the hill, Opada took a deep breath while watching Gallan smiling happily to Kehos.

He said, "Gallan, do you have someone you like?"

The teenager looked back at him and smiled at him.

"Ok."

Eyebrows fluttered and smiles were brilliant.

"What kind of person is that?"

Opada couldn't help asking.

"Well... we have been together since we were little, and when we were young, we especially liked to get close to me. I don't know why, it's not very good for others, but it's very close to me, and I don't particularly like to let others... Uh, man, close to me."

"It was cute when he was little. Of course, he was very powerful when he was young, but he likes to be cute to me. Later, when he grew up, he became taller and better-looking, and he became more and more powerful. same."

Looking at a non-stop teenager, Opada felt a bit uncomfortable.

However, he could see that Gallan really liked that person very much.

Because when it comes to that person, Gallan's eyes are softer and warmer than anything.

Garland continued to speak.

"From small to large, it has been guarding me, we have been together."

He said, "So no matter what happens in the future, I will not be separated from it. I will be with it until I die."

Even if he left the royal city to visit the mainland, he would definitely bring Nega.

Garlan thought.

He will never be separated from Niega in his life.

...

That's right, the man in his mouth said that he grew up with him and grew up with a big lion, Nega, who loves to be cute and coquettish.

In order to let Opada completely die for himself, he had to carry Nega out of the top tank.

………………

Opada breathed out a long breath.

Somehow, after learning Garland's mind, his mood lightened up at the moment.

He glanced at the knight by the lake and smiled calmly at Garland.

"Well, I believe you will always be together."

The mature young man who grew up in just one night smiled and blessed his beloved teenager.

He glanced under his eyes and said, "Your knight is calling you, probably something. Go ahead."

"is it?"

As soon as Garland looked down, he saw Kehos waving at himself, as if calling him to pass.

"Then I will pass first."

The brunette Tasda smiled and watched his beloved boy go away, and went to the knight.

At this moment, his mood was calm.

Because he believed.

The knight will always guard Garland, they will be very happy, together until the final death.

Thinking about it, suddenly there were other movements in front of him, and Opada saw that Heimus, who was originally on the lake, was approaching him.

Heimus now looked calm and indifferent, but his heart was tumbling violently.

He heard what Garland said just now.

He never knew that Gallan had such a deep and strong feeling for him.

The teenager said he would stay with him until death.

The child who was spoiled by him loved him so deeply.

He looked at the Tasda who had been rejected before he could express his feelings. His mood was very complicated.

It seems a little sympathetic, and a little... something else... like something superior.

Opada smiled at him.

"I'm dumped."

He frankly spread his hand.

Opada was so calm, but Huimos did not know what to say for a while.

"Hey, we are all the same. Garland has a loved one. I, and you, are in love."

Opada said with emotion.

"……what?"

Opada's words left Huimos inexplicable.

"Loving love? Me? What do you mean?"

"Don't pretend, you think you don't say anything, I can't see it?"

Opada said with a grin.

"I've seen it for a long time. Your thoughts on Gallan are the same as mine."

Heimus felt a little ignorant.

He opened his mouth rare, but was speechless.

"It's useless to pretend. I like Gallan, so anyone who likes him can feel it at a glance."

Opada continued.

"Obviously I like it a lot, and I pretend that way, because that's why I feel bad about you."

What else did he want to say, suddenly lost his mind.

Hey, it's useless to say anything.

The same is the end of the world, why do you continue to hurt each other?

Thinking about this, Opada waved his hand happily, turned down the hill, and left.

Only Huimos remained there.

The golden sand refracted the blazing sunlight, gleaming and irritating.

Heimus, who was standing on the sand, was very confused and confused.

He felt that the heart deep inside his chest was beating inexplicably at this moment.

Said the Tasda.

He... to Garland...?

The author has something to say: 　　 um, so now the situation is like this-

...

Huimus knew that Opada liked Galland.

Opada believes that Garland likes Kehos.

Kehos also knows that Opada likes Galland and that Opada thinks that Galland likes himself, and that Heimus has a special feeling for Galland.

Opada believes that Garland and Kehos have been in love with each other, and knows that Huimos likes Garland.

Heimus knew that Garland did not like Opada, and thought that Garland was unrequitedly in love with himself.

Opada once again pointed out that Huimus actually loves Galland...

And Nega: "Aoooo~~"

………………

Okay, I can't talk anymore.

In short

In a mess of chaos, our little prince Gallan only wanted to take his beloved pet big lion Nega away from the king city to fly himself and become a free elf~~
