A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 126. Chapter 126
In the dungeon under the temple where the royal knights were, Huimos, who had not fallen asleep in the middle of the night, was lowering his head and thinking to himself, suddenly frowned.
Immediately afterwards, he sneezed hard.
strangeness.
You have the flu?
But there is no such feeling?
Huimos rubbed his nose, thinking a little strangely.
He had no idea that Gallan, who was awakened from his dream and blushing and scolded him as a hooligan, was now violently wrapping himself in a quilt, even burying his head in it, forming a ball on the bed.
The teenager who put himself in a quilt was sulking, praying not to have this dream again, and finally falling asleep again.
The long golden hair spread out on the snow-white bed, and the soft moonlight seemed to fall on the boy’s still somewhat childish sleeping face.
In the outer courtyard, the stone statue of the star goddess Isdal, bathed in starlight, still stands quietly on the fountain.
The tiny splash of water was fading in the gentle night breeze that passed by.
…………
On the second day, the weather in the city of Aaron Landis was always sunny, with light shining on the earth.
The city that had been quiet for a night had already become bustling at this moment, and there were full of voices everywhere.
Early in the morning, Garland took Kehuos to the gate of the temple where the Royal Knights were stationed.
Just when he arrived, the knight commander who had received him last time was leading a team of knights, dressed in red armor and swords at the waist, and seemed to be heading to the palace of King Camos.
One of their most important tasks is to guard the palace of King Camos and the treasure house in the inner courtyard of the palace.
When he saw Garlan, the knight commander turned to let his subordinates stand still, and then stepped forward to bow slightly to salute Garlan.
Like the last time, it was still an expressionless face.
Gallan raised her head slightly to make the knight commander straight up.
“Prince Garland, are you going to see Prince Huimos?”
The knight commander came to a conclusion by himself.
“Please wait, I will arrange for a colleague to take you in.”
Gallan shook his head.
He said: “No, I’m not here to see Heimos this time, but to see your Saga leader.”
The Royal Knights are independent of all armies, and the number fluctuates around one hundred. It is directly under King Camos and is not under the jurisdiction of anyone other than the king.
The supreme commander is called the regimental commander.
Under the commander, there are four to five knight commanders.
The knight commander was silent for a while, then nodded.
“I understand, please wait a moment.”
He turned around and said a few words to a knight behind him. Then, the knight led the team to perform the task, and he led Garlan into the temple gate.
In the main hall of the temple, there are two huge statues of gods.
Shamash, the god of the sun, Nanna, the god of night.
The knights of the Royal Knights also believe in these two main gods enshrined by the Aaron Landis royal family.
The whole temple is made of white stones, the whole looks simple and elegant, and the age seems to be quite old, precipitating the traces of the knights of the past generations.
There is no luxury in the interior, and there are few decorations, which gives people a simple and heavy feeling, but also a little indifferent.
The knight commander led Garlan through the hall and into a spacious room.
“Please wait a moment here.”
He said, then turned and left.
Garlan sat down and looked at the room slightly.
This should be a living room, but apart from dark and heavy curtains, and dark wooden long tables and chairs, there are almost no decorations.
The large wooden lattice window was open. Looking out the window, there were almost no flowers and plants in the courtyard, but lush evergreen trees. He also saw a knight in inner armor sweeping the fallen leaves in the courtyard.
“Kyjos.”
“Yes.”
The blond knight standing behind Garlan responded with a smile and bowed his head.
“Speaking of which, we haven’t seen a servant since we came in?”
“Yes, Your Majesty, the Royal Knights does not use any maids and attendants, except that food is delivered by a special person, other things, whether it is daily life or cleaning, including feeding horses, maintaining armor and weapons, etc., they all You have to do it yourself to hone yourself.”
“…How do they feel like they live like ascetics…”
Garlan couldn’t help but mutter softly.
“what did you say?”
“Well, I just said that they are very strict with themselves.”
Gallan hurriedly went over.
In Aaron Landis, there is no such thing as an ascetic.
“Yes, the members of the Royal Knights have always been extremely self-disciplined. They are not tempted by any outsiders and stick to themselves, so as to ensure that their loyalty to the royal family will not be shaken by anything.”
Just as Garlan and Kaihus were talking, someone walked into the living room.
He was a middle-aged man with a burly and powerful body. He had a square face with a straight nose, broad eyebrows and a broad face. The contour lines were rather tough, giving people the handsomeness of an adult man.
He has short black and brown curly hair, a thin circle of hard stubble around his mouth, and is quite tall.
The commander of the Royal Knights, the head of Sa Ge.
When he walked in front of Garlan, there were two knight commanders behind him.
The knight commander who brought Garlan in was nowhere to be seen, and perhaps he went directly to fulfill his mission after reporting to the leader.
Captain Sa Ge glanced at Garlan blankly, bowed slightly, and showed no emotions almost exactly the same as the knight commander just now.
“Prince Garland.”
After bowing slightly, Sa Ge looked up.
“Excuse me, what can you do with me?”
He said straightforwardly.
“If you want me to release Prince Huimos, I’m sorry, I can’t agree. I must wait for King Camos to come back and give me an order to release him.”
When he spoke indifferently, he pointed directly at the core, blocking the words to death.
The Sage leader who does not communicate with anyone all the year round is the same no matter who he talks to, even if it is King Camos, he will be more respectful at best.
Garlan sat on the seat and looked up at the head of Sago standing in front of him.
“What if I must let you release Himos now?”
“Prince Garland, you don’t have the right to make me obey.”
Head Sa Ge unceremoniously pushed back.
Garlan thought for a while, then asked, “Can I see the remains of the two knights?”
“Please forgive me for refusing, Your Highness, even if your status is honorable, you are not qualified to desecrate the remains of my subordinates at will.”
Head Sage replied, his tone hard.
“I didn’t mean that, I just wanted to find out who killed them.”
This time, Sage didn’t even bother to say anything, just glanced at Garlan.
The two knight commanders who followed Sa Ge either pursed their lips or frowned.
The meaning contained in that glance, as well as the facial movements of the two knight commanders, made Garlan understand the attitude of the commander or the entire knight order towards him.
Although the king’s knights have never shaken their emotions due to foreign objects, they still feel angry about the killing of their companions who have been in and out with them for many years.
Therefore, they are quite resistant to themselves who want to help the “murderer” in their eyes to justify the crime.
It is only because they are princes that they maintain their apparent respect.
For those people who have already found the’facts’ in their hearts, continuing to talk will not have any effect.
Because they don’t believe in themselves at all.
……no solution anymore.
Gallan sighed in his heart.
Then, he turned his head and glanced at Kehos behind him.
Receiving Gallan’s signal, Kaihus nodded slightly.
Garlan turned his head, put his hand on the armrest of the seat, and stood up, as if to get up and leave.
Naturally, the leader of Sagak, who thought that Prince Garlan had already understood his attitude and planned to leave, stepped back to the side and let the road ahead of Garlan.
When Sage stepped aside, the two knight commanders behind him naturally exposed.
Seeing that the leader took a step back, they also retreated.
It was just that they had just raised one foot before they had time to take a step back. Suddenly, the blond knight, who had been standing quietly behind the prince since entering here, leaned forward and rushed towards them.
Its momentum is like a gust of wind, swift and violent.
In the blink of an eye, Kaihus rushed in front of the two of them and attacked them directly.
The two knight commanders raised their hands in shock to counterattack.
However, their combat effectiveness was much worse than that of Kayjos. Kayjos took advantage of it. Almost before they could react, Kayjos twisted the arm of a knight. He slammed it hard on the stone ground with a bang.
Immediately afterwards, he turned and kicked the other knight commander’s chest heavily, kicked him into a groan, and staggered back.
Before the knight commander could stand firm, Kehus had already leaped behind him, raised his hand and hit him hard on the back of the neck, knocking him to the ground in one fell swoop.
In less than a minute, the two knight commanders were brought to the ground by Kayjos.
The face of Captain Sa Ge suddenly showed anger.
“Prince Garland, what do you mean!”
He asked angrily.
“Means nothing.”
Gallan said, he slashed and drew a sharp dagger from his waist.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, he pointed the dagger down and pointed at the knight commander who was controlled by Kayjos.
Under the glaring of the leader of Sa Ge, Gallan just put the tip of the dagger on the forehead of the knight commander, and smiled slightly at Sa Ge.
“Head of Sage.”
He smiled and said, “Do you think I will kill your subordinates?”
The knight commander who was grasped by Kayhus’s hand flushed with anger, and regardless of the dagger pointed at his head, struggling to break free, but Kayhus twisted his hand and knelt on the ground.
“Don’t do such a stupid thing, Prince Garland.”
The head of Sage dropped his face deeply.
“We are not enemies. You don’t need to do such a thing. You should know that hurting royal knights is not a trivial matter. Even if you are favored by King Camos, you will annoy yourself.”
As if he had listened to the words of Captain Sa Ge, Gallan pondered for a moment.
Then he smiled at Sa Ge again.
“Then, if I stop now, it shouldn’t be annoying, right?”
Facing this little prince who seemed to be playing childishly, Sa Ge was even a little helpless at the moment.
He nodded and said, “Yes, Your Highness, as long as you don’t hurt them, I won’t even report this to King Camos.”
The boy nodded.
He looked at Captain Sa Ge with a smile and took the dagger back.
He said, “It’s okay, Kaihuos.”
Kaihus, who received the order, immediately released his hand and returned to Garlan’s back.
The knight commander who had been pressed by Kaihuos for a long time stood up and glared at Kaihuos, but the Sago commander did not give an order, so he could only retreat behind Sago and stood silently.
Sage’s thick eyebrows were already frowning, and in his straight-forward mind, he wondered what Gallan’s purpose was for doing this.
Is it to give the royal knights a stab at the royal knights who neglect themselves and don’t listen to them?
“Head of Sage.”
Playing with the sharp dagger in his hand, Garland said, “So, do you still think that Huimos is the murderer of your subordinates?”
“……What’s the meaning?”
“My guardian knight easily brought down your two subordinates.”
Gallan’s words made the expressions of the two knight commanders not so good.
“He can control these two knight commanders alone, Captain Sage, you should see that this is because Kaihuos left his hand. He is fully capable of knocking out these two knight commanders directly.”
Sa Ge’s face also sank.
But he also knew in his heart that the selection of members of the Royal Knights was based on complete loyalty to the royal family, not based on force.
Therefore, the strength of the royal knights is not comparable to that of the knight guards who fought with King Camos. Even the general guard knights can’t compare, let alone the world-famous “Knight of the Scorching Sun”.
Therefore, even if he was a little unhappy with Prince Garlan’s words, he didn’t say anything, it was acquiescence.
“In other words, Kaihus can completely subdue them without hurting them.”
Insert the dagger back into the scabbard on the waist.
Gallan raised his head and fixed his gaze to meet Sa Ge.
He said, “Head Sage, I don’t know if you have heard that Huimos’s force is not inferior to Kayjos.”
Sa Ge was startled, and then his face changed, apparently finally understanding the meaning of Garlan’s words.
Kaihus can subdue the two knight commanders without hurting them.
The knight commander is definitely better than ordinary royal knights.
And Prince Heimos, who was not inferior to Cyjos, wanted to stun the two knights without disturbing them. It was even easier.
“Head Sage, you said yourself just now, even if I am a prince, I would be annoying to hurt or even kill the royal knights.”
“You just said that I shouldn’t do such a stupid thing.”
The young prince looked at Sa Ge calmly, speaking clearly.
“And Huimos’s purpose is just to get the soldier talisman. Since he can easily subdue the two royal knights, why bother to kill them and put himself in such a big trouble?”
He asked: “Do you think… he would be such an idiot?”
Sa Ge fell silent.
The two knight commanders behind him also showed thoughtful expressions.
“Head Sage, I know, you cherish your subordinates very much. But now, only by finding out the real murderer can their souls rest in peace.”
Garland looked at him directly and said, “I promise you that I will give you an explanation as soon as possible. Therefore, please release Huimos first and let him return to the palace to recover. The injury on his hand It’s not light. If you can’t cultivate well, I’m worried that it will lead to very serious consequences. Moreover, you can send a team of knights to the palace to guard him.”
It was a big room, but it was extremely quiet.
Captain Sa Ge has been silent, although he vaguely felt that Garlan was right, but…
After a long silence, he still shook his head.
“Prince, maybe you are right, but this is not in compliance.”
He shook his head and said, insisting.
“I must get a warrant from King Camos to release Prince Huimos.”
“Head of Sage…”
“I’m sorry, I must act according to the rules.”
Sage said categorically that it was still the stone-like attitude.
Hey, this stubborn leader who behaves stubbornly.
Gallan sighed in the bottom of his heart and sighed.
no solution anymore.
Thinking this way, he drew the dagger out again.
Sage said in a deep voice without blinking his eyes: “I may not be the opponent of Your Excellency Kejos, but even if you persecute me with your life, I will…Prince?!!!”
The head of Sa Ge, who had a serious face, suddenly changed his expression, revealing a look of surprise.
Because he watched as he watched the sharp dagger being held in Garlan’s hand, dropped a bit, and landed on Garlan’s own forearm.
The blade was extremely sharp, and as soon as it was pressed, a shallow slit was cut on Gallan’s forearm, and a little blood oozes out.
“Because you were arguing with Captain Sage, you moved your hands in excitement, and then Captain Sage you missed and hurt me in the chaos.”
“Prince Garland, you—”
Facing Sa Ge’s frightened and angry look, Garlan showed him a smile as bright as the sunlight in the sky.
“Come on, Captain Sarge, did you choose to send a knight to send Huimos back to his palace and guard him there… Or choose to let me put more strength on myself now, and then wait for Brother Wang to come back. Just filed a complaint with him, saying you accidentally hurt me?”
“You… Prince, do you know what you are doing?”
Sa Ge’s chest was tight with anger.
“What am I doing? I’m framing you~~”
The golden eyes blinked, and Garlan said with an innocent face and confidently, and smiled brightly at Sa Ge.
“How? Is it fun?”
Sa Ge: “………………”
What about the wise prince in the rumors? ! !
