A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 154. Chapter 154

Garland once again returned to the ruling government in the center of Twyul City, but this time he was not detained in a dark dungeon.

Led by the main land of Kanile City, he came to the huge and majestic castle behind the ruling government.

In the spacious living room, sunlight shines in from the large French windows, flooding the entire room, making it look dazzling. Garland was sitting on the soft sofa, while Hiemos was sitting next to him, lowering his head with tea in one hand.

And a certain bard, holding his lost bow, stood by the French window, and wiped it carefully with the sun. However, while wiping, he peeped at the sofa from the corner of his eye from time to time.

I don’t know if it is his illusion, he always feels that the atmosphere between the two is a bit wrong.

Who the hell is that black hair?

Why is Gal…no, it is Prince Gallan who looks a little embarrassed in front of this person?

Shulos glanced secretly from the corner of his eyes, and saw the black-haired young man taking a sip of tea slowly, then carrying the cup of tea and sending it to Garlan.

Gallan didn’t react. As soon as something came in front of his mouth, he unconsciously opened his mouth and took a sip, licked his lips, and took another sip.

After feeding Garland a few sips of tea, Heimos’s mouth bends slightly.

“Hey… uh, why are you here?”

“Come to you.”

“But I left a note, and said that I wouldn’t use it to find me.”

“That’s just your own thoughts.”

“But didn’t you just say that you won’t catch me back?”

“Um.”

“…Anyway, you don’t catch me back, so why are you looking for me?”

“Follow you.” Heymos said, glanced at someone by the window, and that glance surprised someone who was stealing a glance and turned his head away. Then, he pretended to cough and walked out of the room through the floor-to-ceiling window. Standing on the large balcony outside, lying on the railing pretending to be watching the scenery.

Withdrawing his sharp gaze, he said: “You can’t be abducted by others.”

Garland: “…”

Hiemos took another sip of tea, the same teacup that Garland had fed Garland a few sips.

He said: “Do you think that when I said’I’m with you’, I was coaxing you to talk casually?”

“Huimos, you said that you want the throne…”

“But it’s not such a throne.”

Huimos interrupted Garlan.

“I don’t need anything other people give me alms, especially that person is still you.”

The boy lowered his eyes, his slender eyelashes cast a shadow on his cheeks.

“Your self-esteem does not require me to give you alms from the throne. So, do you ask me to fight you with all my strength and use all my means to snatch you? For it, shall we become enemies?”

“I never thought about it like this.”

“But that’s the truth. Hiemos, someone has to retreat. It’s not you or me. If no one backs down, then you can only fight. You can’t understand this.”

“Foreign enemies are still watching. I don’t think Aaron Landis can afford the consequences of our internal fighting.”

Gallan tightened his lips, holding his hands together.

The clenched fingers tightened tightly, and scenes from previous lives flashed across his mind once again at this moment, making his chest tight.

“But now you refuse to retreat and refuse to let me retreat, so what do you want to do? I don’t understand, you must force me to be hostile to you? For the throne, kill you or be killed by you?! Like the first few—”

“Gallan!”

The shoulders were firmly grasped, and the shout suddenly awakened Garlan.

He almost blurted out the words that he swallowed abruptly.

He paused and continued: “Just like last time… You were almost burned to death when you were a kid… At that time, it was probably me, wasn’t it?”

“Listen, Garland, I never thought about it that way.”

Huimos whispered, “I can’t be hostile to you, you understand, you know why. I want the throne, but I can’t exchange you for it, I can’t accept this.”

“But……”

“There is no need, you don’t need to leave, because there will be no fighting, and you and I will not be hostile.”

Clenching Garlan’s shoulders, Hiemos stared at him deeply.

“I do want the throne, but I will be recognized by everyone with my strength, whether it is King Camos or others, I will use my strength and merits upright to make them think that I am more suitable to sit on than you. Throne-this is my decision.”

The golden red eyes reflected the young man’s face, and he said: “I said, Garlan, no matter what happens, I will not hurt you. You know, you should understand.”

“…”

Hiemos’ fingers gently stroked Garlan’s forehead.

“I am very angry, not because of other things, but because you said that you left to avoid the struggle between us. You don’t trust me, you should know my feelings.”

His fingertips slowly rubbed his golden forehead, and his voice was low and soundless, but it seemed to be brewing some bottomless emotion.

He whispered: “You should know better than anyone, my fascination with you…”

“Wait, wait, wait!”

The boy who was still pursing his lips just now was already blushing at this moment.

He hurriedly tried to stop Huimos from continuing.

“It’s not the time to talk about this kind of thing, there are still people nearby, and the city lord of Kanile is coming soon! What should I do if you are heard?!”

“Do you think I care about this kind of thing?”

The corner of Huimos’s mouth raised an arc, but this arc looked a bit cold for some reason, which made people feel hairy.

Since the day Garlan disappeared before his eyes, his sanity has disappeared little by little.

He can even feel the feeling of the dark shadow covering himself a little bit…

What the fucking feelings are always false, the throne is real!

If Garlan really disappeared in front of his eyes… he didn’t know what he would do if he completely lost his mind.

When Heimos met his gaze, Gallan shook his heart.

Although he didn’t quite understand it yet, he keenly felt the danger oozing from the bottom of Heimos’ eyes.

The golden red hue sank deeply, as if shrouded in some shadow.

Almost subconsciously, he reached out and touched Hiemos’ face.

Heimos was startled, but Gallan clearly felt that the dangerous aura oozing under his eyes had disappeared, so he touched Heimos’ face again.

Huimos stopped talking, and his thin lips pressed slightly, looking at him.

Those eyes somehow made Garlan think of the eyes of the abandoned little animal.

“I see, Hiemos.”

He sighed.

“I was wrong, I shouldn’t have done such a thing.”

He said, “I’ll go back.”

“Um?”

“We have a special identity, so don’t run around and go back.”

Hiemos stared into Garlan’s eyes with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to steal his true mind from Garlan’s eyes.

Gallan didn’t look away, allowing the other party to visit.

He smiled at Huimos.

He said: “Go back together.”

“……good.”

Just as Garlan was about to get up, the hand he was about to withdraw from Huimos’ cheek was suddenly held.

Huimos held his wrist, stared at him, and whispered, “Speaking of…”

“what?”

“You said you left because you didn’t want to be hostile to me, because I was already important to you, and you liked me a little bit, didn’t you?”

“No! No! Don’t talk nonsense! I don’t like men!”

Gallan was instantly blown away by Hoymos’s words, and he withdrew his hands abruptly.

However, Huimos seemed to have never heard Garlan’s negative words, his lips raised, and he rubbed the boy’s head indulgingly and indulgingly, watching Garlan’s eyes reveal a little. With a smile, there seemed to be a shallow light in his eyes.

“I said you did not hear, I have said so many times, I will not accept you!”

“Okay, I heard it.”

“…”

It doesn’t look like I heard it at all.

…………

So what kind of atmosphere is that?

I always feel that something is wrong!

Who the hell is that dark-haired guy?

Why do they look so close?

Ah ah ah, it is people care about the dead, curious dead! It’s so heartbreaking!

On the balcony outside the room, the bard lying on the railing pretending to be watching the scenery continued to peek at the scene in the room from the corner of his eye, the gossip fire was burning in his heart.

…………

……………………

When he heard Garlan say that he was going to return to the royal city, the face of the city lord of Kaniere was a little better.

He glanced at Heimos who was with Garland. Although he hadn’t heard what Heimos said at the time, he felt that the relationship between the two was very close.

This is good, at least so that nothing bad will happen to the throne.

To be honest, from the bottom of his heart, he still prefers Heimos, who gives people a strong sense of sharpness.

only……

He set his eyes on the blond prince, and the deep wrinkles on his forehead wrinkled again.

“Prince Garland, I owe you a life.”

City Lord Kanile said, his expression was solemn.

“From now on, as long as it does not violate the order of King Camos, I will let you send it.”

“City Lord Kanile, you don’t need to care too much about this…”

“No.” The Old City Lord said solemnly, “I rarely owe others anything in my life, but as long as I owe it, I must pay it back. This is my principle. No matter what you ask me to do, as long as King Camos agrees. , I will never refuse.”

“I understand, then, Lord Kanile, I have one thing to ask you now.”

“You say.”

Is it about supporting him to become the crown prince?

Old Town Master thought.

“If Twyllul City’s finances are still sufficient, can the tax payment in the second half of this year be waived? After all, this earthquake has caused widespread disasters among the people. If taxes are imposed, many families may go bankrupt. Even had to sell as a slave.”

In fact, it should be better for disaster relief or something, but in this era, this is almost impossible, so Gallan can only retreat, at least exempt the victims of a little tax.

“…”

It was completely unexpected that Gallan was talking about this incident, and the Old City Lord didn’t react at all.

“Can’t it?”

“No, it’s not impossible… Okay, Your Royal Highness, Gallan, I will report this to King Camos. Once I get permission from the King, I will follow your orders.”

After speaking, City Lord Kanile looked back at the staff behind him, the middle-aged staff nodded slightly, and then took a step forward.

“His Royal Highness, what do you plan to do with the team rate that is rude to you?”

He bowed his head and asked respectfully.

“Um?”

“I have sent someone to imprison him secretly, and I can bring him over now.”

“no need.”

That kind of person, Gallan didn’t care about it at all.

This is a villain who deceives the next, why take it too seriously.

“But speaking of it, it seems that he was interrupted by someone last night.”

“…”

Gallan glanced at someone next to him from the corner of his eye.

Huimos looked away from him.

“He is unforgivable for his offense to you, that kind of rebellious behavior is really…Master Cannelle meant to be executed directly.” The staff continued, “Also, the chief of the city gate guard, and the soldiers who were disrespectful to you at the time. , They have all been arrested and are waiting for your disposal.”

“Forget the city gate guard and the soldiers. Let go. They just obey the order. They don’t know who I am, so it’s not an offense.”

“I thank you for your kindness on behalf of them, Your Highness. Then, do you think that one should be put to death? Or should he be punished more severely…”

Gallan thought for a moment, and shook his head.

“Confiscate all his family property other than his normal income, refund the excessive taxes he collected without authorization, then send him into the village, let him live there, and declare his crimes to everyone, let him be in the past. Those villages who have committed crimes are forced to labor and cannot leave until he has paid off all his debts.”

The staff was taken aback, then nodded and stepped back.

Afterwards, Gallan and the others rejected the Old City Lord’s proposal to send a thousand cavalry to escort them back to the royal city.

After all, he ran out secretly, so going back with a big fanfare would not be good.

The Lord Canineh sent them outside the city.

He looked at Garlan and said: “His Royal Highness, in half a month, I will go to the Royal City. I wish you all the best.”

Half a month later, it was the time for the crown prince canonization ceremony announced by King Camos.

…………

Riding a horse on the flat road, a certain bard who had endured it for a long time finally couldn’t hold it back.

“I said, Gal… well, your Royal Highness, what is your relationship with that one?”

“you guess?”

“…Don’t dare to guess randomly.”

What if he accidentally loses his mouth like last time?

“Then don’t guess, you will know when you return to the royal city. But, do you really want to follow me back to the royal city? Don’t you like the place where nobles gather?”

“Tsk, I saved the prince of Aaron Landis. How should I give Aaron a large amount of gold as a reward?”

Shuros snorted.

“But, having said that, I just thought you would let go of that team rate. After all, you said that those who don’t know are not guilty. After all, you are the rumored kind and tolerant prince~”

He shrugged.

“For people like him, let him work for the civilians he once looked down on, and pay the guilt until death. For him, this punishment is more painful than death…”

“Benevolence only needs to be given to the same kind-hearted people.”

Gallan said, an understatement.

“Some people don’t have it, so naturally they don’t need to give it to him.”

………………

On the way back to the royal city, the three of them did not walk very fast, mainly because Garlan did not want to return to the palace so quickly.

Anyway, the city lord of Kanilee has rushed to report his traces and the matter of going back to King Kamos, presumably Brother Wang will not be so anxious.

One day, three people who had stayed in a small city for one night left the small city. When they had just reached a fork in the road, Huimos, who hadn’t said much in the morning, suddenly spoke.

“Gallan, this is not far from the royal city, you go back first, I have something to go to other places.”

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze on Shuros.

“Escort him back well.”

The sharp eyes made Shuros nod subconsciously.

Huimos raised his head slightly, he turned his horse’s head and galloped toward the other road.

“What is he doing in such a hurry?”

Shulos looked at the back of Huimos, which was about to disappear, and couldn’t help asking.

“I don’t know, I haven’t heard him say it.”

Gallan shook his head.

But in retrospect, after seeing a few people in that small city last night, Huimos had always been a little thoughtful.

He asked rhetorically, “Where did you go in this direction?”

“This direction? There are many places to go, Yasi Lake, Ferotmi City, Koda City, Yama Mountain, Tiydari City, Menister City, Musil City, etc., All in this direction.”

The live map Shuros said the names of a large number of cities or famous mountain lakes in one breath. Gallan had never been to any of them, and he didn’t know any of them.

Forget it, I’d better go back to Wangcheng first.

Garlan thought, embarking on the road leading to the royal city.

After riding for a long time, seeing the evening, there happened to be a small town ahead.

Shuluos said: “I will rest here today, and I will be in the royal city at about noon tomorrow.”

Gallan nodded, seeing that he was about to return to the royal city, he still had a little regret in his heart.

It is a pity that he has never been to the places that Shuros said, that many cities.

Those cities…

…………

Wait, I always feel… there is a name that seems familiar…

That is……

Seeing that he was about to reach the gate of that small town, Gallan suddenly reined in his horse.

“Schloss!”

“what?”

“Did you talk about the city of Menistere at noon? The road he took was to the city of Menistere?”

“Yes what’s the matter?”

There was a chuckle in his heart, and Gallan turned his horse’s head abruptly without saying a word, and hurried back in the direction where he had just come.

…………

…Holy His Highness the terrible…

He is cruel and insidious like a poisonous snake in the night.

Everyone knows that he personally killed his uncle and his cousin.

He is the son of the devil.

He is violent and cruel.

Everyone knows that he personally killed his relatives.

He will be cursed by the gods–
