A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 127. Chapter 127

The head of the Royal Knights was finally defeated by shame…No, the wise prince.

The place where Huimos was imprisoned will be changed from the underground prison below this temple to his own palace. Of course, he still can’t move freely, and there will be a team of royal knights stationed in his palace to guard him every step of the way.

However, before that, in accordance with Prince Garland’s request, Sago first took Garland and Kayjos to the place where the bodies of the two dead knights were stored.

Although he had compromised, his expression was terribly ugly all the way, like a black cloud.

Knowing that Sa Ge and his subordinates were very embarrassed by himself, Garlan also became very behaved along the way, and followed quietly, without a word.

Soon, Sa Ge took Garlan to an underground ice cellar behind the temple.

The remains of the two knights are stored deep in the ice cellar.

According to the Sage leader, after the murderer has been punished, a prayer ceremony will be held for their funeral. Until then, the remains will be kept here.

Therefore, even though more than ten days have passed since the incident, what Garland saw were still two well-preserved remains. They were placed in a long box filled with ice.

When he stood next to one of the boxes and leaned down to look down, the dead knight lay quietly among the ice, as if sleeping, but his face was so pale that he was obviously not alive.

Kaihus was looking at another dead knight.

“The throat was cut, this place is fatal.”

He said, pressing his finger on the knight’s throat and his eyes moved down.

“You should have fought before you died, and there was more than one opponent.”

He looked at the knight’s fiery armor and came to a conclusion.

Because there are a few obvious sword scratches on the armor.

The two knights wore hard armor and helmets when they were on duty, blocking most of the vital points of the body. If you want to solve them as soon as possible, the only vital point is the throat.

Presumably the fatal wound of the other knight was also on the throat.

Kehus thought so, walked to Garlan’s side, and then heard Garlan’s strange question.

“Why there is no wound?”

Kaihus looked at it as soon as he heard it, and indeed did not see a wound on the knight’s throat.

He was also a little strange, looked at it a few more times, then stretched out his hand to stroke the throat, and suddenly knew it in his heart.

However, before he could answer, the dark-faced head of Sa Ge spoke up.

“He died by twisting his neck.”

“……I see.”

“We have already examined the remains. One died of a broken neck and the other was cut to death.”

Perhaps it was thinking of the scene at the time, the head of Sa Ge said gravely.

“The people who killed them didn’t leave anything behind. This kind of killing method is also very common and there is no clue.”

“After that, the palace was sealed off, isn’t it?”

Garlan asked again.

“Yes, I notified the guards to seal off the entire palace early that morning. No one can leave the palace without a warrant from me and the chief of the guard.”

Sage said that as the head of the Royal Knights, he has this power.

“You mean that the murderer is still in the palace.”

After the palace was blocked, even though important noble ministers could enter and leave the palace in order to keep the political affairs going, noble ministers were not allowed to bring their servants into the palace, and at most they could only wait outside the palace gates. .

In other words, those noble ministers can only enter and leave alone, so it is impossible to take the people out of the palace.

Sage glanced at Garlan coldly, and slapped him unceremoniously.

“After that happened, before we could react, the only person who left the palace with his subordinates was Prince Huimos.”

Gallan pretended not to understand.

“In other words, the murderer is still in the palace.”

Sa Ge snorted, which was regarded as a default.

Gallan thought about it for a while, then raised his hand to touch his neck.

“Kyjos, if you change to you, how would you twist your opponent’s neck?”

“Almost…”

The one-eyed knight thought for a while and replied.

“In order to prevent the other party from yelling, it is usually behind the other party, covering the mouth with one hand, strangling the neck with the arm, and then turning vigorously, just…”

To make it easier to understand, he also raised his hand to demonstrate the action.

“Is there any other way?”

“If it is a sudden attack, it is the most appropriate way to ensure that the other party does not make a sound. Other methods will alarm the other party and cause the other party to make a sound.”

Gallan sighed for a while, and pondered for a while.

Then, as if thinking of something, he leaned over, put his hand into the ice cube that wrapped the knight, fumbled for a bit, and pulled the opponent’s hands out of the ice cube.

He looked at the two hands carefully for a while, then nodded slightly.

“Head of Sage.”

He straightened up and looked at Sa Ge.

“I think I have a way to find the murderer.”

“what?!”

…………

………………

As the head of the civil servants, the right secretary has a separate government office in the royal court that handles Aaron Landis’s government affairs.

It was still in the morning, and he was sitting in his seat, looking at the parchment scrolls slowly, and then writing comments on it without hesitation.

Obviously, the entire palace is still under emergency lockdown, and the atmosphere is extremely tense. Everyone in the palace is in anxious mood because of this incident, but the old man has a leisurely look and sits in his place. Above, there is no sense of panic.

After a while, a young civil servant under his staff walked in and brought him a cup of hot tea.

The old man put down the quill in his hand and held the hot tea in both hands, still in that unhurried manner, took a sip, showing a satisfied look.

The young official who brought him tea showed a hesitant expression. The expression was so obvious that the old man understood it at a glance.

He took another sip of tea, then put it down, and smiled.

“What’s wrong? What do you want to say?”

This young civil servant who has just entered office is a nephew in his family, and he is still quite smart and hardworking, and he was brought here by him.

He is getting older and can’t stay in this position for long, so he will patiently teach the capable juniors.

“Master Sixiang, do you think Prince Huimos really killed the royal knight?”

The old man smiled.

“Your thoughts?”

He asked rhetorically.

The young man shook his head.

“I don’t think it looks like… Although all kinds of unfavorable evidence point to him, but no matter how I think, I feel that he shouldn’t have to do such a thing. I think that maybe someone deliberately after the departure of Prince Huimos Kill the royal knight and put blame on him.”

You Sixiang looked at him and nodded, showing a satisfied look.

“Since you already have an idea, why ask me?”

“I just……”

The young civil servant hesitated and lowered his voice.

“I just want to ask, can you guess who framed Prince Huimos?”

He said, “Yesterday, the Chief Secretary had been very anxious, and wanted to convict Prince Huimos… I always feel… Is he…”

Halfway through the conversation, he shut up.

He dared to say this secretly in front of the right secretary who was the elder of his family. If it was heard by others, it would be in trouble.

The old right secretary took another sip of tea.

“You are still too young.”

He patiently taught his descendants.

“What you can see, do you think that the Chief Secretary would be unclear in his heart?” He said, “The reason why he dared to be so presumptuous and behaved so eagerly is precisely because he was so determined in his heart that the matter and He’s okay, so he dared to do that.”

“He is arrogant and arrogant, but he has a clear heart.”

“If there is a ghost in my heart, it is too late to hide and tuck, how can I dare to show such a big fanfare.”

“Hey? But, since it has nothing to do with the Chief Secretary, why did he do this? That is a prince after all, there is no need for the Chief Secretary to offend him for no reason?”

“Heh~ In this world, there is nothing for no reason.”

Although the old man drinking tea seems to be very old, the light in his eyes is still full of energy.

He smiled low, waved his hand, and sent the young official out.

There are many things, it is better for young people not to know too much.

For example, the matter of Tozes City is not that simple.

For another example, the offending consul and the wealthy merchants of Tozes City were escorted back with troops by Prince Huimos.

Also, the Chief Secretary is now at the critical moment of whether he can be on the left side of the division, and he can’t tolerate the slightest taint… things like that…

After drinking the last sip of tea, the old Sixiang turned his head to look at the bright sunshine outside the window, and squinted slightly.

However, that Prince Garlan…behaved quite unexpectedly.

He thought with interest.

…………

……………………

It was almost noon, and Garland once again came to the dungeon below the temple of the Royal Knights.

This time, it was led by the head of Sa Ge personally.

In the empty dungeon, at a glance, there was only one person.

Sage walked to the cell and opened the door.

Heymos, who was still sitting on the ground leaning against the wall, closed his eyes, as if he was rested. Even when he heard the dull footsteps coming from the boots, he still closed his eyes, motionless, as if he didn’t know at all. Someone came here in general.

The Saga leader who was standing at the door looked at Huimos and saw that Huimos was awake, so he spoke directly.

“Prince Huimos, you can come out.”

When Sago said so, Huimos, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

But he didn’t even look at Sa Ge, who was standing at the door of the prison, and when his gaze turned, he fell directly on Garlan on the other side.

“Gallan, what did you do?”

Hiemos asked, his gaze looking sharp at Garlan.

“It’s nothing, just persuaded the Sage leader, saying that you are still injured, let you return to the palace to recover.”

Gallan shrugged, then turned to look at Sa Ge.

“Head Sage, don’t you think?”

He looked at Sa Ge and said with a smile.

“……Yes.”

The word of Captain Sa Ge was like a stone, smashed out hard.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see how reluctant he is to say this one.

Obviously he did not want to say more. He looked at Huimos and said blankly: “Prince Huimos, I will send a team of royal knights into your palace. Before the matter is over, I hope you can be quietly there. Heal from the palace, don’t leave their sight.”

He said, “Now, please come out first.”

Huimos sat still, his golden-red pupils just stared at Garlan.

He said, “Gallan, you come in.”

“what?”

“I’m hurt and can’t stand up. Come in and help me.”

“…”

The place where you hurt is the hand but not the foot.

The young man slandered like this in his heart.

However, he knew very well in his heart that if he didn’t go in, Huimos, who had been extremely capricious in front of him after being injured, would never come out by himself. Therefore, he had no choice but to walk in, walked to the seated Himos, bent over, and reached out to him.

Hiemos didn’t grab his hand immediately, staring at him with a pair of golden red eyes, and the inquiring eyes made Garlan feel a little guilty.

Fortunately, Huimos did not stare at him for too long, so he reached out and grabbed his hand.

But, to be precise, Huimos did not grab his hand, but his wrist.

The palm that was a little bigger than him clasped Garlan’s entire wrist in this way.

………… The big brown hand covers his arm……

Fingers wrapped around his wrist…

His fingertips, which were hot and bumpy like a charcoal fire, slid on his skin… a little tingling sensation was transmitted from the nerves to the whole body…

…………It should be extremely painful, but the extreme pain of partial life is mixed with the ultimate pleasure…

It makes people tremble, makes people collapse…

It’s almost dying–

………………

Gallan waved his hand suddenly and slammed the hand that Huimos had grasped him.

He took a step back.

The moment Heimos’ fingers clasped his wrist, that familiar feeling suddenly revealed the dream of that night in his mind…

Gallan felt that his face was burning hot at this moment.

At this moment, he couldn’t even look directly at Huimos in front of him.

He bit his lower lip tightly, trying to control his strange look, his heart beating like a drum, for fear that Heymos would see any clues.

Fortunately, at this time, Huimos did not look at him, but set his eyes on his arm.

The next second, Hiemos got up on his own.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed his hand again, and forcibly pulled his left hand out of the cloak.

Huimos stared at Garlan’s forearm, which was obviously a freshly cut scar.

“what happened?”

He asked: “Gallan, what did you do to get me out of here?”

“It’s just a small wound, I accidentally wiped it, I…”

“Do you think I won’t be able to tell that this wound was cut by a knife?”

Huimos interrupted Garlan abruptly.

“answer me.”

“I really didn’t do anything…”

Halfway through the conversation, his shoulders were suddenly caught.

Huimos clasped Garlan’s shoulders, his golden-red eyes stared at Garlan with sharp eyes, and a dangerous aura leaked from the bottom of his eyes.

“Two choices.”

Huimos said,

“Either you answer my question right away.”

He stared at Garlan, bowed his head, and pushed his face closer.

He lowered his voice, so low that only he and Gallan could hear him clearly.

“Either, I’ll kiss you right here.”

“you–!!”

………………

……and many more.

I always feel that this scene, this dialogue, this threat mode…Is there an inexplicable sense of sight?
