A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 116. P. 116

The fire of the abandoned temple burned all night, and the red fire light reflected half of the sky of Tozes City, attracting people in the city to look at it.

Fortunately, the abandoned temple was in an extremely remote place in the city, and it didn’t cause panic in the city that had just calmed down. In addition, Seth decisively controlled the ruling government that night, so the story of Prince Garland being kidnapped by the remnants of pirates did not leak out. The citizens only knew that there were a few remnants of pirates running around in the city, and the soldiers were there. It’s just a night in the city.

Early in the morning, they heard the news that the remnants of the pirates had been killed, so they relaxed one by one and smiled.

Compared with the ease and happiness of the city residents outside, the ruling government is full of wounded.

Gallan barely had a little consciousness when he was hugged from the flame by Hiemos, but soon fell asleep again.

He was injured and had a fever, but he was forcibly taken away by the pirates while he was ill. He was dragged and choked on the fire scene. This tossing made him sicker.

After being rescued, he never woke up, and he had a high fever throughout the whole day and night. The red face was really terrible, and he made Kaihuos and the others stay by his side. .

Even Heimos, who was equally injured, looked at Garland’s high fever and was shocked. He couldn’t let it go, and simply lived together in this house. Fortunately, the bed was big enough, three or four. Mikuan is more than enough for two people.

In this way, it is also convenient for the several doctors here to circle around the two of them in this room, without having to travel back and forth.

The doctor said that Heimos’s two forearms were okay, but some burns would heal soon, as long as he noticed that even a little scar would not be left. It’s just that the two palms… the stone pillars were already hot red, and Heimos directly supported them with his bare hands, which was equivalent to pressing his hands on the hot red soldering iron.

The palm of his hand was burned to the ground, fleshy and bloody. Fortunately, because Heimos was practicing martial arts since he was a child, the calluses on his palm were quite thick, so he did not injure the tendons and bones. After the burn was healed, Heimos would not be harmed. What is the impact on the flexibility of the hand, but it is inevitable to leave scars on the palm.

Because of the burns, Huimos also inevitably developed a low-grade fever.

Fortunately, the temperature is not high, and his body is always strong, so even in the low-grade fever, his consciousness is very clear. Just because he was conscious, he, who was a wounded, was the same as Kayjos. Gallan, who was nervous and had a high fever, didn’t close his eyes all day and night.

It wasn’t until the next night that Gallan’s high fever, who was sleeping, finally subsided and calmed down. He breathed a sigh of relief.

This breath was relieved, and seeing Gallan’s slightly reddish sleeping face, Heimos, who calmed down, did not hold on any more, closed his eyes and fell asleep in a relaxed manner.

…………

That’s an overwhelming flame.

Crimson, fiery, reflecting the entire dark sky.

He stood there, but there was flames in all directions, surrounding him.

He has nowhere to escape.

Outside the scarlet flame, a pair of vicious eyes stared at him stubbornly.

Against the flames, even the golden traces of the eyes were dyed red, like a pair of pure red eyes.

Those eyes staring at him were full of gloomy coldness, and there was a naked and fierce atmosphere rolling in his eyes.

As if it would turn into a fierce beast anytime and anywhere, he would bite his belt and swallow it.

He couldn’t move under the gaze of those terrifying golden-red eyes.

The flame spread little by little, from far to near.

He watched as the flame slowly approached his side, and the spitting red fire tongue almost licked in front of his eyes.

Just as he desperately waited to be swallowed by the flame, suddenly, a hand suddenly stretched out from the burning flame.

A tall figure suddenly appeared from the fire.

He opened his eyes wide.

The man stretched out his hand to him.

The flames all over the sky seemed to be blocked by that person.

…

The boy opened his eyes abruptly, his golden pupils were slightly enlarged and contracted violently.

His breathing became much faster at this moment.

After a while, he slowly woke up with his slightly loose eyes because of his sudden awakening. The memory before the coma came back to his mind little by little, and he let out a long breath, and the whole person relaxed. .

However, when he turned his head a little, he was shocked again.

The face that was extremely familiar, whether in dreams or in reality, was right in front of him.

He was just startled when he found that Hiemos seemed to be asleep.

Hiemos was lying on the bed with his back, but his face turned slightly to Garlan’s side.

The tiny hair strands, which are as dark as the night sky, are scattered on the snow-white pillows, and the contrast is obvious.

He closed his eyes, his eyelashes weren’t thick, but they were very dark and slender. The roots were distinct. When they were so close, Garland could almost see the traces of the end of the slender eyelashes.

The corners of Hiemos’ eyes were slightly raised, and even if they were closed, there was a sharp feeling in the corners of his eyes.

The sleeping young man has a handsome face that is as eye-catching as the evening glow.

Broken hair was scattered on the straight bridge of the nose, and the brown skin glowed like honey in the morning sun.

The thin lip line was like a blade, pressed tightly, exposing a bit of coldness and sentimentality to Heimos.

The earrings with lapis lazuli on the ears reflect a cold luster.

Even if this person is asleep, he feels as dangerous as a lurking beast, but the dangerous breath adds a certain inexplicable temptation to him.

Garlan looked at the sleeping man lying beside him.

His eyes were in a daze for a moment.

He remembered the moment when this person suddenly appeared in front of his eyes in the sea of fire.

[Don’t be afraid, I am here. 】

The moment the burned finger rubbed the corner of his eye, he heard the violent beating of his heart.

Because the man who broke into the sea of flames and came to him jumped.

…………

Maybe it was because he was in the sea of fire at that time, it was too hot, so hot that he couldn’t think.

It made him strange at that moment.

Seeing the beautiful sleeping face beside him, Garlan stretched out his hand unknowingly and touched that face.

The skin touched by the fingertips is quite flexible, and the heat is transmitted from the fingertips.

He probably felt something touching him, and the corner of Hiemos’ eyes moved slightly.

Garlan subconsciously withdrew his hand suddenly, the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath and stared at Heimos’ moving eyes nervously.

Fortunately, Huimos did not wake up.

Gallan breathed a sigh of relief, and pressed her hand on her head.

illusion.

he thinks.

In that situation, his heartbeat at the time was probably just a suspension bridge effect.

After all, when he tried to touch Hoymos’ face just now, he didn’t feel anything even if he faced that handsome face… at most he felt very grateful, plus a little weird.

Yes, incredible.

After all, it was Hiemos who set fire to death when he first came to this world.

Although he was already sick and unconscious at that time, coupled with the choking of heavy smoke, he soon passed out, and did not feel the pain of being burned by the flames.

But the flames surrounded him, and the fear that was a little closer to him was still deeply imprinted in his memory.

Also, a second before he passed out completely, he met the terrifying, hostile golden-red eyes that met Huo Wai.

And now, just when he had accepted his fate to greet the result of dying in the fire again, it was the man who had burned him personally into the sea of fire and rescued him.

Knowing that it is so dangerous, we still have to save him.

It seems…Huimos said he likes him, is it serious?

…………

……How do you feel that fate seems to have turned in a strange direction?

“His Royal Highness, you finally woke up.”

A voice interrupted Garlan’s wandering thoughts.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw his guardian knight Kehuos walking quickly, holding a bowl of dark soup in his hand, still steaming, apparently just cooked.

Seeing Garlan look at him, Kaihus’s face showed a smile.

Although he stayed by Garlan’s side and stayed up for two days and two nights, his face with dark circles when he smiled was so handsome that the maids and doctors guarding in the room blushed and heartbeat.

It’s a pity that the handsome blond knight is full of eyes at this moment, only the little prince who has been guarding him for a long time and finally woke up.

Garlan looked at Kehos’ dark circles and blinked.

“I slept for a long time?”

Kaihus hummed, stretched out his hand to support Garlan to sit up, and then picked up the soup medicine that had just been placed on the table. It seemed that he wanted to feed Garlan to drink the medicine with a spoon.

…This is too exaggerated.

Gallan jerked, shook his head quickly, and then stretched out both hands to hold the soup bowl from Kayjos.

Raise your head and drink it all.

Too bad!

Garlan, who poured it down in one breath, was staggered by the bitterness remaining in his mouth.

It’s like this with one sip. If someone feeds it one tablespoon by spoonful, wouldn’t it be hard to die?

So he has never figured it out, even if he is sick, why should someone feed such a bitter medicine one by one? I’m not without hands…

……and many more.

hand?

Galan remembered suddenly.

In the sea of fire, the scene where Hiemos’s hands were immersed in the flames.

Also, the smell of burnt flesh permeating the tip of the nose…

Huimos’ hand!

He turned his head abruptly. Heymos was still asleep, and he saw the two hands of Heymos on his side at a glance.

His heart beat violently.

The snow-white bandage was wrapped around Hiemos’ hand, from the arm down to the fingertips, it was snow-white and white, showing an extreme contrast with the brown skin exposed on the upper arm.

At this moment, Garlan’s mind flashed past Hoimos’ arm that was tightly wrapped in a white bandage at all times.

The tragic scenes seemed to appear before his eyes again.

Everything seems to be back to the past-

He panicked instantly, reaching out to touch the bandaged hand, but he did not dare to touch it, hanging in the air for a moment.

Garlan was so flustered that he was at a loss for a while.

Probably because his expression was too flustered, Kaihus next to him stretched out his hand and took his stiff hand in the air, and the other hand supported his shoulder.

Kaihus whispered to him: “It’s okay, Your Highness, Prince Huimos is okay, don’t worry.”

Garlan looked back at Kehos.

Ke Huston was stunned.

The teenager’s face was full of panic, and there was a helpless look in the golden eyes that he had never seen before.

Just when he was a little stunned by Garlan’s look, Garlan, who was in a panic, reached out and grabbed him, and looked at him with his head up and eyes.

“Kyjos, Huimos’ hand… his hand… is it… ruined? And, his arm… no, not just the arm, is it somewhere else… it’s… he Has his body been burned in many places? Also, there is…that, there…”

His fingers clasped Kahos’s arm firmly, resisting the panic that surged from the bottom of his heart.

Going around, fate seems to have returned to its original point.

Everything he did seemed to be in vain.

Huimos burned again, again because of him.

So, will it continue to develop like in previous lives?

Huimos hated him again.

Then, he and Huimos faced each other again.

finally……

…

If all this is doomed, then what is the point of what he has done for so many years?

Kayhus didn’t know if it was his own illusion.

He always felt that the current prince seemed to be afraid of something invisible.

Also, why did the prince just look at him and believe that Heimos had more than just a burn on his hand, and that Heimos had a serious burn?

“No, Prince, don’t worry.”

Seeing Gallan’s panicked look, Kaihus suppressed the confusion in his heart for a while.

He comforted Garland softly: “Prince Hiemos’ injury is not as serious as you think. He just burned his hand. The doctor said, it just hurt the skin, not the bones, and it won’t have any effect. ”

Garlan seemed to have calmed down after hearing what Kayhus said. He hesitated for a while, then asked in a low voice, “Will there be scars on the arm…? Is it serious?”

He remembered that in previous lives, Huimos always wrapped his scarred hand tightly with a bandage, presumably he had minded the scar on his body.

“The doctor said that if you take good care of your injury, your arm won’t, but there will definitely be scars on your palms or fingers.”

“It will leave scars…”

When Kelhos said this, Garlan frowned.

“Do you mind?”

Suddenly a voice came from the side.

“Um…” Gallan replied dullly, “Is it scarred, isn’t it ugly?”

Hiemos certainly didn’t like scars on his body, otherwise he wouldn’t always be covered by bandages in previous lives.

He just finished answering, suddenly he felt that something was wrong.

Obviously Kaihus was right in front of him, but the voice just came from behind him.

He subconsciously turned his head to look, but only halfway through his head, suddenly his hands stretched out from behind him, encircling him in his arms.

Suddenly falling into the arms of another person, Gallan instinctively wanted to struggle, but when he saw the snow-white bandage around his arms, his body became stiff and he dared not move.

Turning his head to look, as expected, he met a pair of golden-red eyes that squinted slightly at him.

“Himos…”

He called Hiemos’ name weakly and quietly.

Heymos, who didn’t know when he woke up, unceremoniously encircled him in his arms, raised the brow on that handsome face, and looked at him sideways.

“Do you think I have scarred ugly?”

“No, I didn’t.” Garland explained quickly, “I’m just worried that you will be scarred and unsightly, and feel uncomfortable.”

Huimos chuckled softly.

“It’s not a woman, what scars would I care about?”

“…”

In the past few lives, you were very concerned about it.

Gallan was suffocating, and it was difficult to say this sentence.

However, after being so manipulated by Huimos, the panic that had been pouring out since he saw the bandage on Huimos’s hand slowly disappeared.

He looked sideways into Heymos’ eyes, and Heymos was also looking down at him.

Suddenly bowed his head, leaning his forehead on his forehead.

He was taken aback, and then he heard Himos say something.

“It’s not burned.”

Heymos’s words seemed to be talking to himself, but Heymos’ eyes looked at him from beginning to end.

The golden-red eyes were slightly bent, reflecting his figure, and a little smile oozes.

The gaze that looked at him was only soft, with a gleam in the bottom of his eyes, which seemed extremely bright, and at this moment there was no gloom and hostility.

…It is different from previous lives.

Either he or Huimos, they are different from previous lives.

Being watched softly by those eyes, Gallan’s heart suddenly settled down.

He looked at Huimos and asked in a low voice, “Does your hand hurt?”

The corners of the pale thin lips raised, and Huimos seemed to be talking, but he was interrupted by Kayjos by the bed before he could speak.

“Prince Hiemos, since you are also awake, then it just so happens that your soup medicine is also ready.”

Seeing his prince obediently being held by Huimos in his arms, Kehos felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. It happened that the doctor came with the boiled soup, so he took the opportunity to interrupt Huimos.

Huimos let go of his hand and glanced aside, watching the doctor woman leaning over on the bed with the soup medicine, scooping up a spoonful of the soup and delivering it.

He turned his head to avoid the silver spoon that was about to reach his mouth.

“No need, take it.”

He said.

“Himos?”

Huimos glanced at Garlan.

“Too bitter, I don’t want to drink it.”

He said in a willful tone.

Garland: “…”

here we go again.

“H, Prince Huimos… the doctor ordered, you, you must be on time…drinking and taking medicine…”

The medical girl kneeling beside said tremblingly.

“You poured the medicine, and when you turned around, I said I had already drunk it.”

“This, how can this…”

The poor doctor girl was about to cry while holding the medicine.

Kaihus next to him couldn’t stand it anymore.

“Prince Huimos, although I know you are very strong, since you have been injured, you should take the medicine and heal faster.”

Huimos didn’t say a word, his eyes rolled and fell on the boy next to him.

Garlan was taken aback by him.

Huimos still didn’t speak, but just looked at him.

Although he didn’t speak, the meaning came out of his eyes.

Kehos, who was the first to understand the meaning in Huimos’ eyes, twitched his mouth, walked over, and took the medicine from the doctor who was about to cry.

“Prince Huimos, since you don’t like being fed by a woman, you might as well let me do it.”

He smiled and drew a spoonful of the soup medicine and stretched it over.

“Come on, open your mouth, ah~~”

Heymos didn’t bother to give the one-eyed knight who seemed to be coaxing a child, and those golden-red eyes looked at Garlan quietly and faintly.

Gallan was still holding on at first, pretending that he couldn’t understand.

But Huimos just stared at him stubbornly, even if he turned his face away, he could feel the hot gaze.

alright, you win.

The boy sighed in his heart and gave in.

He stretched out his hand to Kaijos.

“Give it to me, Kayjos.”

“But, Your Highness…”

“Give it to me, the medicine is getting cold.”

The blond knight handed the medicine bowl to his prince somewhat reluctantly, and stood aside.

Galan stirred the silver spoon in the dark soup for a few times. He grew up and was feeding someone else for the first time—he was still the Huymos, which made him feel very uncomfortable, but he glanced at it. The hands wrapped in the snow-white bandage made him feel soft.

Those hands were injured because of him.

Lifting his hand, he raised the silver spoon to Huimos’ mouth.

Huimos glanced at him, his lips curled, and he lowered his head and drank the medicine in the silver spoon.

At that glance, Gallan’s face was inexplicably hot. I don’t know if it was his illusion. He always felt that the appearance of himself and Huimos seemed too intimacy.

Huimos is a patient.

He is just taking care of the sick.

To save his injured patients.

He persuaded himself so, and continued to feed the soup spoon by spoonful.

After getting used to it slowly, the uneasiness in his heart slowly disappeared.

He looked at Huimos’s quiet, obediently drinking medicine, and suddenly felt a little puzzled.

Hey Moss obviously hated bitterness, and this soup medicine was so bitter that he was so bitter when he poured it down just now… Isn’t it more bitter to drink like this, spoon by spoon?

Why does Hiemos seem to be drinking sugar water?

On the way Gallan was wondering, the bowl of soup medicine bottomed out unconsciously.

I don’t know if it was his illusion, he seemed to see a look of regret in Heimos’ eyes.

Shaking his head, he expelled this strange illusion from his mind, he turned sideways and handed the empty bowl to Kaihuos by the bed.

Kaihus walked to the door with two empty bowls of soup and medicine, and handed them to the maid.

And Garlan sat on the bed, looking at Kehos.

On the inside of the bed, Hiemos was also sitting.

Gallan was turning sideways, with her back to him.

He stared at the young man’s back without blinking, and involuntarily licked the corner of his lips with the tip of his tongue.

If Gallan looked back now, he would definitely be startled by the look in his eyes.

Hot, scorching, as if wanting to swallow everything.

A bitterness permeates the taste buds.

It is the bitter taste that Hiemos hates most.

But at this moment he felt a sense of desire and dissatisfaction.

not enough.

There was a voice deep in his body telling him that.

Far from enough.

The young man sat on the bed sideways, his long blond hair pulled up and slipped off the side of his shoulder.

The loose top reveals the slender back of the neck.

There is a pink trace of cherry blossom petals dotted on the skin of the fair nape of the neck.

It was a long time ago, the burn marks left by Garlan, who was still a child, in order to protect him.

He still remembered the moment when the coal fire fell from the sky under the dark night sky.

His eyes were attracted by the pink cherry color on the back of Garlan’s neck, and he couldn’t tell why, Heimos felt a throbbing inexplicably trying to touch that trace.

…But his hands were wrapped in bandages.

He thought, but his eyes still fixed on that place.

Then he leaned forward, leaned over, and bowed his head slightly.

The tip of the red tongue lightly licked the trace of pink cherry.

He clearly felt that the boy’s body trembled violently at this moment, as if it had been irritated.

“Woo…Um!!!”

Kaihus, who was handing the medicine bowl to the maid, suddenly heard a voice behind him.

The voice seemed to be screamed out of fright, but it was suppressed forcibly in the middle, and he swallowed the whimper abruptly.

That was the voice of Prince Garland.

He turned around subconsciously and looked at Garlan.

He saw Garlan covering his mouth with his hands and his face flushed.

“Prince?”

“No, it’s okay, I accidentally pulled the wound and it hurts a bit.”

“Please be careful, it will be troublesome for the arrow wound to split again.”

“Um… sorry, I will pay attention.”

Just when Gallan tried to pretend to be nonchalant and talk to Kayjos, the culprit who caused him to make that weird sound hid behind him, licked the corners of his slightly curved lips, with a satiated expression on his face.

It seems that that point is very sensitive.

Someone thought so.
