A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 112. Chapter 112

Last night was not a quiet night. Although the war in the bay outside the city has ended, many people are still busy in it.

The blood-stained city wall must be washed away, and the mountain of corpses under the city wall must be cleaned up. The remains of General Tozes were lifted one by one and put away. The pirate’s body was thrown away in a deserted place, waiting to be burned afterwards. And, the pirate warship that blocked the city gate and the entangled wreckage of the small Tozes warship have to be cleaned up… .

The city was also noisy, and it was not quiet all night.

However, this was the most secure and sweetest night for the citizens of Tozes in this period of time.

The reinforcements arrived and the pirates were completely defeated.

They are finally safe, and there is no need to be frightened anymore.

After the rain passed and the sky cleared, the dark clouds that had accumulated over the city of Tozes finally dissipated, and the dark clouds that had been suppressed in everyone’s hearts were finally dispelled.

On this day, the blue sky was cloudless, and the sea was calm and calm.

When the night passed and the bright sun rose from the horizon, both the citizens who just woke up from their dreams or the soldiers who had been busy all night looked at the hot sun and smiled from their hearts. .

The bright but not scorching morning sun slanted into the window. In the bright room, Garland sat on the warm bed, leaning against the head of the bed.

With long golden hair scattered on the back of his neck, he finished his last mouthful of porridge, and the doctor woman who was waiting by the side reached out to take it, glanced at Garlan with respect and admiration, and then used it up. The plate was returned.

Gallan leaned against the bed, tilted his head slightly, and squinted. The warm sunlight coming in from the window fell on him, a little bit expelled the cold air that had penetrated into his flesh and blood for several days, illuminating him. People are lazy.

Although the injury on his back is still aching, the fever has not gone away, and my mind is dizzy.

But at this moment, perhaps because he suddenly relaxed from a tight state, a lazy feeling filled his limbs, making him feel like he didn’t want to move.

In fact, he is still a little depressed now.

It is precisely because he has been hostile to Huimos many times, so he also knows the power of Huimos better than anyone.

As an enemy, the power of Huimos is terrifying.

But as a companion, Huimos is a very reassuring existence.

[Don’t be afraid, I am here. 】

he knows.

The safety of a huge city, the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, these heavy tasks that were so heavy that he could not breathe, could finally be lifted from his shoulders.

He finally didn’t have to force himself to hold on.

The string that was tightening all the time, because of Heimos’s words, instantly collapsed.

He lost control of his emotions for a while, and he showed that cowardly appearance in front of Heimos…

Now that he calmed down after a nap, he felt ashamed in retrospect.

I don’t know how Huimos would laugh at him after being caught this time.

Ah, it’s annoying to think about it–

Garlan was sitting on the bed and continued to be annoyed, when suddenly there were heavy footsteps.

Then, the room was pushed aside, and a chubby ball rushed in like it was rolling.

“Prince! Prince! I heard you were injured!”

The ball rolled to the side of the bed, and the chubby boy’s eyes swept across Garlan’s body, his expression distressed.

“I’ve heard people say, I said you are a prince, so delicate and expensive, how can you go to such a dangerous battlefield? You have suffered such a serious injury?”

He climbed on the edge of the bed, staring at Garlan eagerly.

“Does it hurt, prince? Well, it must be very painful. You grew up so much. Except when you were a child, for so many years, the Taput female officer felt so distressed that you had a wound on your hand. She wanted to scold us. of.”

“Ah, ah, blame me, if I could bring the Alson navy here soon… No! It’s all Alson’s fault! It’s all because they dauntlessly refused to send troops sooner!”

Taer looked at Garlan distressedly, his cheeks puffed, his expression of grudge and bitterness on his face, and he kept thinking about it.

The murmurs were so many that it was a headache to hear, but at the moment it made Garlan laugh, and being muttered by Taer, it seemed that the pain behind him had also been slightly reduced.

“Thank you, Tal.”

He raised his hand, smiled and touched the fat boy’s head.

“It must not be easy to bring the Ailson Navy?”

After being praised by Gallan like this, Tarlton became energetic.

“That’s–it’s not easy, Your Highness!”

He pours bitterness at Garlan.

“The queen refused to agree to send troops at first, and it took me a lot of effort to convince her.”

“Listen to me, my lord, it’s like this.”

As soon as he got excited, Taer began to show Garlan the scene at the time.

…………

A few days ago.

In the palace of Elson Island.

Seeing that Queen Elson, who had refused, had gotten up and left, Taal watched the queen’s back soon as she was about to disappear, and her heart beat violently.

He remembered the smile on his face from Prince Garlan who had sent him away before leaving.

At that time, the prince said, all depends on you, Tal.

The prince said, it’s all on him.

Taal gritted his teeth hard.

No, he won’t give up… it’s impossible to give up so easily!

The prince believed him, and only entrusted him with such an important matter, even a matter of his own life. How could he fail the prince’s trust in him?

In any case… no matter what method he uses, he must send Ailson to send troops!

At this moment, Taal’s mind was spinning rapidly.

Is there anything…what can impress Elson, or should I say, what can impress Queen Elson…

From the time he met the Elson female warrior until he came to the palace, scenes related to Elson flashed through his mind quickly.

Suddenly, the scene of depression in the trading port that had been there for quite a while when he first arrived on the island flashed across his mind, and suddenly, his mind flashed.

Bet!

Taer rushed forward, but was stopped by the female soldier guarding the throne.

Not discouraged, he grabbed the female soldier’s arm and screamed at the queen’s back.

“Your Majesty! Do you plan to let Elson continue to fall like this?”

As soon as he uttered these unceremonious words, it immediately aroused the anger of the Elson female soldiers around.

The female warrior who had just stopped him made a little harder hand, and Taer immediately screamed in pain.

But the little fat man screamed with pain, and yelled at the queen with all his might.

“If Ailson continues to close and defend himself and stay isolated from the world like this, sooner or later he will perish the country!”

With a loud bang, his head was smashed to the floor by the extremely angry female soldier.

The force of the smash was so heavy that it gave Tal the illusion that his head was about to be smashed.

He was stunned for a while, and when he recovered, he saw a pair of feet standing in front of him.

Queen Elson did not know when to return and returned to Taal.

“Emissary of Aaron Landis, do you know how disrespectful what you said just now?”

The tall Queen Elson stood in front of Tal, who was crushed to the ground in embarrassment.

Her sharp gaze carried an aura of unkindness, condescendingly looking down at the boy who was as fat as a ball at her feet.

“Just based on the two words you just cursed our country, I can order you to be executed.”

“Are my words cursing… ooh… are they alarmist…”

His head was firmly pressed to the ground, and Taal’s mouth was grinning from the pain of his twisted arm, but he continued to speak with difficulty, intermittently.

“Your Majesty should be very clear in your heart…otherwise…you won’t tell me this kind of nonsense, I’m afraid you will just stab me to death…it hurts!”

After trying hard to say a few words, the little fat man couldn’t hold back in the end, screamed several times, and a pack of tears came out.

The chubby little devil’s embarrassed appearance made Vinelle who was angry because of his two words all the anger.

She thought about the little kid who is not knowing the heights of the sky, and what is so angry about this bullshit. So she shook her head and walked to the queen’s side.

“Your Majesty, just kick him out.”

The queen didn’t say a word, and looked down sharply at Taer who was crushed under her feet.

After a long time, she suddenly raised her hand and motioned for the guard holding Taer to let go.

When Tal got up, she waved to make all the guards around her retreat, leaving only General Vinier by her side.

She stared at Tal and said, “What is the reason you have concluded that Ailson will fall?”

“I know that the Elson women fighters are very strong, and your naval power is also very strong, but whether a country is strong or not depends on the military power, but on the well-being of the people of this country.”

Tarr grinned, rubbing his almost broken hand and said.

“Actually, I don’t know much about military and politics… But I think this country will decline because the Elson people are not living well.”

“Unlike land-based countries, Elson is only an island country. Therefore, it is impossible to be self-sufficient. The food and materials you need must be obtained through trade. But when I came, I saw your foreign trade. There are very few merchant ships in the port… Yes, I can see that no one wants to do business with you at all. Even if they do, I am afraid they want to get great benefits from you.”

“As far as I can see when walking along the way, the living conditions of your people are not good.”

Taer suddenly raised his head and looked directly at the queen.

“His Royal Highness once told me that the prosperity and stability of the people is the symbol of the prosperity of a country, and it is also the responsibility of the king.”

“So, Her Majesty, I want to ask you, do you really want your people to live such a hard life?”

“Even if you all think that Ailson is a country, none of the surrounding countries recognize Ailson as a country-do you plan to live like this by deceiving yourself?”

“presumptuous!”

Vinelle shouted angrily.

“How can you be so rude—”

The queen raised her hand to block Vinyl.

She looked at Tal with a solemn expression: “What is the purpose of you saying so much?”

As a member of the mighty Elson warrior, the queen’s eyes are as sharp as a sharp blade, which is frightening.

It was even more chilling when she stared at a person and radiated that power unreservedly.

Tal’s chest shuddered, his face pale and his legs trembling a little.

However, when he thought of the prince in danger, he gritted his teeth and severely suppressed the panic that was coming up.

“send troops.”

He took a deep breath and tried to meet the queen’s oppressive gaze.

He gritted his teeth and said: “Your Majesty, just as you love the little prince, our King Camos of Aaron Landis loves the prince more than your love.”

“So, if the prince dies in Tozes City, he will be heartbroken, and if he knows that the prince has asked you for help and was rejected… Although he will not send troops to attack Elson, he is angry. The king’s command will be issued, and any Elsons will be forbidden from entering Aaron Landis.”

“The consequences of this, and the harm this situation will cause to Elson, needless to say, you should also understand the queen.”

The queen looked at him coldly.

“Are you threatening me?”

“Of course I dare not, I just told you this possibility in advance.”

Anyway, at this point, either he angered the queen and was cut off, or he took the Elson Navy back to save the prince.

Tal, who was not afraid of boiling water, stiffened his neck.

“But, in contrast, as long as Elson sent troops to save the prince…”

He rubbed his hands and grinned at the queen suddenly.

“Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the impact if Aaron Landis recognizes Elson as an independent country.”

Vinyl was taken aback and looked at the queen.

The queen frowned slightly, pondered a little, and then said, “You don’t have enough weight.”

“I don’t have enough weight, but the prince is enough. The prince is a person who has to repay him. As long as you save him, he will definitely persuade King Camos to recognize your country.”

Actually… It’s not a big deal to admit Elson. Aaron Landis has always felt that such a small country does not matter if he admits it or not, and is too lazy to make sense.

Of course, you can’t tell the truth, otherwise the queen and the general will kill him if they can’t save face.

“Your Majesty, Aaron Landis recognizes the existence of Elson State, and at the same time is willing to maintain friendly relations with Elson State, and exchange trade, allowing Aaron Landis merchants to go to your commercial port. At the same time, our The trading port can conduct official transactions with you and give you the lowest tariff preference as a friendly country.”

Taer stared at the queen without blinking, and said.

“On this condition, how about you sending troops to save our prince of Aaron Landis?”

The queen raised her eyes and glanced at Taer with a sharp look like sword light.

“A word is settled!”

She said, categorically and neatly.

Then he turned around and waved his hand.

“Vignelle, prepare to send troops!”

Tal: “…”

So simply.

He looked stupidly at the queen who had left in a violent stride, thinking.

He didn’t say anything when he was still prepared.

…………

……………………

“I was still prepared for something, before I had time to say it, the queen suddenly agreed, and I almost didn’t come out…”

Tar’s vivid description and the deliberately exaggerated action made Garlan couldn’t help laughing.

“How about, Your Highness, am I good?”

The little fat man made Garlan amused at the sight, and leaned over to ask for praise.

He was lying on the edge of the bed, looking at Garland with watery eyes like a big chubby dog, and he could almost see a tail wagging vigorously behind him.

Garlan smiled and touched the fat man’s head.

“Well, that’s amazing.” He said, “Thanks to you this time, Tal.”

“Of course.”

Tarr’s invisible tail instantly rose up, slapped his fleshy breast, and said proudly.

“Anyone who can protect Your Highness, don’t you?”

“……Yes?”

There was a voice, clear and flat, unremarkable, and could not hear any emotions.

The two simple words made the little fat guy who was still boasting his whole person instantly froze on the spot.

He creaked his fat neck and looked back.

All of a sudden, his face paled in fright.

“He, He He He He, His Royal Highness Prince.”

He screamed dryly and stutteringly.

Huimos didn’t know when he came, and how long he stood there and listened.

At this moment, he put his hands on his chest, leaned slightly against the door, folded his long legs, and tilted his head slightly to look here.

He was wearing a dark and strong outfit, with dark hair scattered on his handsome face.

When Garlan’s gaze came over, he stood up straight and walked over, and while walking, he glanced at Taer with his eyes, and Taer immediately ran away like a mouse with a cat.

Seeing the sluggish back of the little fat man, Gallan blinked and couldn’t help but laugh.

“He is still the same, so afraid of you.”

He asked Hiemos curiously.

“What did you do to make him so scared?”

“nothing.”

Huimos replied lightly, avoiding the question.

How could he say that it was because this little fat man always stuck to Garlan when he was young, which made him very upset, so every time he looked at the little fat man, his eyes were a little bit fierce.

…Who knows that this will cause a psychological shadow to the little fat man.

While fooling Garlan’s question, Huimos leaned over and touched Garlan’s forehead.

“It’s still a bit hot.”

He asked, “Is it still uncomfortable?”

“The body feels a little bit uncomfortable.”

Gallan nodded, then smiled and shook his head.

“But in a good mood.”

Having said this, he suddenly paused, as if thinking of something, his face changed slightly.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Hiemos secretly.

Opening his mouth, he seemed to want to say something, but he wanted to say nothing.

Seeing Gallan’s little hesitant appearance, the corner of Heimos’s lips raised.

“Why, do you want me to keep things from last night secret?”

“…Uh, since you guessed it…”

It was too embarrassing to look out of control last night, and Garlan really didn’t want others to know.

“Can.”

Huimos said bluntly, and then the conversation changed.

“So, what’s the reward?”

“what?”

“I’ll keep it secret for you, so, shouldn’t you give me some benefit? Exchange at the same price.”

“…Then what do you want?”

Gallan was talking badly, and suddenly saw the golden-red eyes that were looking at him deeply, and he suddenly felt in his heart.

After a big battle, he was so busy that he had forgotten the key things.

He almost forgot…This guy has a bad heart for him!

Gallan stretched out his hand almost reflexively, pressing the man’s chest and pushing it away.

“That kind of thing won’t work!”

He widened his eyes and refused sharply.

Don’t think he sees few novels and movies.

At this time, men always say something like a kiss as a reward.

Don’t think about playing him!

However, the appearance of the young man who thought he was stern was completely different in the eyes of Heimos, who was looking down at him.

Regardless of the pale face that turned up.

Still the big golden eyes that stared round and round.

Or the whole body is tightened up like a little cat with fried hair.

They all feel too cute.

The corner of Huimos’s lips raised. Although he didn’t plan to do anything, Gallan’s lovely appearance made him want to tease him.

So, he deliberately got closer again, opening his mouth to talk.

Huimos didn’t move much in fact.

But Garland, who suddenly remembered it, was too nervous. When Heymos moved a little, he subconsciously pressed his hand against Heymos to prevent him from getting close to him.

As a result, when his arm was hard, the arrow wound on his back was pulled, and the violent throbbing pain made the corners of his eyes twitch.

As soon as Gallan showed an expression of pain, Huimos’ expression immediately changed.

“do not move.”

He grasped Garlan’s hands against him.

“Wait, you…”

Gallan was a little flustered.

“Don’t move, I will do nothing.”

Holding Garland’s struggled hand tightly, Huimos said quickly.

“Don’t move, it will be troublesome if you get the wound.”

When he said this, Gallan was taken aback, and then he did not move obediently.

Huimos held Garlan’s wrist and slowly put it back on the bed with the lightest movement possible.

He raised his eyes and watched those golden eyes staring at him steadily. He didn’t know what he was thinking or what he was thinking. He smiled, raised his hand, and touched the soft blond hair.

“Okay, I won’t say anything.”

“real?”

The boy looked at him suspiciously.

“Even if you don’t mention it, I won’t say it.”

Huimos stroked Garlan’s forehead with a soft expression.

He focused his eyes on the pair of golden eyes that crooked to look at him, and looked at the young man who was staying in front of him.

Gallan was right in front of his eyes, could touch it, and touch it. At this moment, the heart that had been hanging high since the dream of that flame finally fell steadily.

He was filled with something in his heart, he whispered.

“The way you are crying, how can I let others know.”

That kind of look cuter than anything…

So pitiful…

He just wanted to hide it tightly, so that no one could see it, how could he even take the initiative to share it with others.

Gallan stayed for a while.

Then, huh, his pale face turned pink all at once.

“Himos!”

“Um?”

“Did you go to Kaihuos and learn those tricks to provoke girls?”

The boy flushed with anger, gritted his teeth and looked at him bitterly.

“what?”

“Don’t use those things to me! I tell you, I am not a girl, and those tricks to coax girls are useless to me!”

“…”

Huimos felt very innocent.

He really didn’t do that kind of thing, just didn’t pay attention to say a word in his heart.

“…Do you think that even if I go to ask, will Kayjos tell me?”

Garland: “…”

It seems to make sense.

If Huimos really asked Kaijos, Kaijos knew that he was thinking about himself, don’t preach him, it would be good if he didn’t commit a crime.

He tilted his head for a moment and sighed.

“At the beginning…Although it was because it was urgent, but I didn’t answer you directly, it was because I was not good.”

He hesitated for a moment and said directly.

“Sorry, although I don’t know how you treat me… well, you have this kind of thought. But, what I said, I like cute girls, so for you… well, that… …”

Garland was so embarrassed that he couldn’t speak anymore, and sneaked a glance at Hiemos.

Himos sat on the edge of the bed, not looking at him, listening quietly with his eyes down.

The sun shone from behind him, making most of his face hidden in the backlight. Gallan couldn’t see his look at the moment, but he could see the slender eyelashes quietly hanging down, reflecting the sun on the smaller half. A light shadow fell on the brown cheeks.

Hiemos’ lips were thin and light in color, a cool color.

For some reason, Gallan was inexplicably frustrated.

People dressed in stars and moons and dusty came to rescue him, and they just shortened the original seven days to four days, but he turned his head and threw people mercilessly.

A typical demolition of a bridge across the river.

He is like this… Isn’t he a bit scumbag?

The young man thought with a guilty conscience. The two hands placed on the quilt were clasped unconsciously, and the fingertips moved uncomfortably.

Moreover, he really didn’t understand, why did Hiemos like him?

The past four lives didn’t have this sign at all?

At that time, Huimos hated him to the bone, and the two could be said to be totally different.

How inexplicable in this life…

Garlan thought for a long time in confusion, and couldn’t help but think of another possibility.

“Huimos, I know you like me very much, and have liked me since I was a kid, but are you actually mistaken?”

He said,

“Your liking for me should actually be the same as Brother Wang’s liking for me, and different from that of lovers. It’s just because we’ve been in a very close relationship since we were young, and you don’t have any other close people, because About Opada, you were not happy that I was taken away, so this kind of illusion occurred.”

“After all, you said yourself that you don’t like men at all, so you always think you should like girls.”

“In this way, you should have really made a mistake…”

Heymos sitting in front of him raised his eyes, and the golden red eyes hidden in the shadow of the backlight seemed to throw a red gleam toward Garland.

Just one glance stopped Garlan’s words abruptly.

I don’t know why, but after being looked at by Huimos, he couldn’t speak anymore.

“Gallan.”

Calling his name in a low voice, Hiemos stretched out his hand, and his fingertips fell on his cheek.

“My feelings, you can refuse it.”

The man’s fingers ran over the ends of his hair, picking up a strand of blond hair scattered in front of his eyes.

Pick it up with your fingertips and push it behind his ears.

“You can also ignore it.”

With golden red eyes, the pupils seemed to have a cluster of scarlet flames burning in the depths.

His figure was reflected in the flame, as if he had been swallowed by the flame.

Being stared at by those golden-red pupils, Gallan felt inexplicably immobile for some reason.

“Even, you can dislike it or dislike it.”

The fingers that tucked the strand of hair behind her ears slowly slid down the strands of blond hair.

Until the tip of the hair.

Then Hiemos’ fingers held the strand of blonde hair.

Huimos lowered his head slightly, and his slender eyelashes were distinct in the sun.

He lowered his eyes and lowered his head, his thin, cool lips falling on the strands of blond hair wrapped around his brown fingers.

“But don’t deny it.”

He half-closed his eyes and kissed the strand of blond hair in his hand.

The sun was refracted by the strand of blond hair and fell on his handsome side cheek.

The kissing gesture actually gave people a very pious feeling inexplicably.

He seemed to put his hot feelings and everything into this kiss.

“Don’t deny it, I offer you… all the affection in front of you.”

…………

The room was silent.

No one speaks.

The teenager who was confided in his love affair did not speak.

He lowered his head and tightened his lips, as if at a loss, his fluffy blond forehead blocked his eyes.

However, he couldn’t stop the reddish ear tips from the blond hair.

If you still feel short……I will retaliate against society!
