A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 156. Chapter 156

The scene of being burned by the fire flashed in my mind, it was swaying too fast, and it was vaguely unclear. Heymos only shook his mind for a second and then woke up.

He frowned.

Why do things that have never happened before flashed in my mind?

He was a little puzzled.

However, if it wasn’t for that time that Garlan pushed him away in time, then his fate…maybe it really was…

Condensing his mind, Huimos looked down at the uncle who had bowed his head to him, with a coldness in his eyes.

If he had died in the fire, I guess this uncle would shed a few crocodile tears in front of others, but he would be very proud of him.

He died, or died in the palace, in the grudge of a group of children, no one would suspect him, and at the same time, no one would threaten his identity as the lord of Menister City. , His son is the only heir to Menister City.

How great.

What a perfect result.

In fact, with his current vision, Hoymos is no longer in the eyes of Menister City.

However, what should belong to him, even if he dismissed it, he would not let others.

Especially the enemy who is still thinking about his death–

Yes, the enemy.

This is the definition of Earl by Huimos.

His uncle by name and blood has been fishing for his fame for a long time, thinking that others will be like him and will pretend to be a good name.

That’s why I wanted to preemptively and suppress him as his uncle. In fact, I didn’t want to bow my head in front of him.

Unfortunately, he never cared about the so-called’good reputation’.

That kind of thing is useless.

Huimos glanced lightly at Lord Earl, who was bowing his head in front of his horse, and then rolled over and dismounted.

He walked forward, passing in front of City Lord Earl, and the dark cloak fluttered behind him, passing in front of Earl, who was still bowing his head.

Earle’s eyes twitched slightly, and then he straightened up and looked at the back of Hiemos, who had already moved forward.

At this moment, the long and tall figure seemed to overlap with a familiar back figure in his memory.

He went back to a long time ago in a trance. When he was young, he always looked at that figure like this.

He thought he had forgotten.

But at this moment, with the return of that man’s son, he once again recalled this unbearable memory that he wanted to completely forget.

His brother…

Lord Earl’s hand clenched hard.

The large sleeves concealed his clenched hands, making it invisible to people. He calmly followed the footsteps of Huimos and walked towards the castle gate.

Huimos had strode through the gate and stepped into the hall of the castle.

He looked around this luxuriously decorated hall supported by huge white jade pillars. A group of people were already waiting for his arrival in the hall. Seeing him coming in, they bowed their heads respectfully to him.

Only one of the beautifully dressed young people standing in the front of the group did not lower his head. He looked at Heimos with his eyes fixedly, his face stiff, and his eyes looked a bit stubborn and unyielding. .

Buck, the son of Lord Earl.

His cousin.

Huimos’ gaze swept around and fell on Buck, his eyes seemingly smiling.

Buck only felt a sudden and violent throb in his right hand.

That kind of pain made him seem to have gone back to the moment he was easily pressed to the ground by Heimos, who was still a teenager, and nailed his palm to the ground with a shot.

That made him angry at this moment, but his fear of Huimos was uncontrollably raised.

“Your Excellency Buck!”

The subordinates who followed Buck reminded him.

Buck woke up from the memory, and under the eyes of everyone around him, under the gaze of the guards and knights behind Huimos, he reluctantly, but had no other way, bowed to Huimos. Ended up.

He whispered: “Welcome to you, Your Highness Hiemos.”

He clenched his fists as he spoke, and a sense of humiliation rose from the bottom of his heart.

Once, the orphan who needed to rely on him and his father to live has become an existence that he couldn’t look up.

No one noticed that when Buck lowered his head to Huimos, the Lord Earl who followed in saw this scene, his pupils shrank sharply.

He has always been able to disguise his expression perfectly, and his eyes twitched at this moment. When he realized that he was about to lose control, he quickly lowered his head, suppressing the resentment that suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart.

Again…

The humiliation he had suffered in the past has now once again fallen on his son.

……………………

In the room, Lord Earl watched the middle-aged general standing in front of him.

“Why didn’t you report me and go out of the city to meet him without authorization?”

He questioned the general who had acted without his permission.

This man is the general of Menister City, who should have obeyed the order of his city lord, but this general arbitrarily went out of the city in the morning to meet Huimos as if he was a subordinate of that kid.

If he learns the news a little bit in advance, he can arrange for a follow-up, so that he won’t be caught off guard like just now.

The general leaned slightly and replied in a deep voice: “His Royal Highness has reached the gate of the city. I am afraid that it is too late to tell you. In any case, His Highness cannot be allowed to wait at the gate for too long. I can only go out of the city to meet him.”

Fixedly looking at the middle-aged general, City Lord Earl’s usual gentle expression converged, his face sinking, and a bit of power.

“Don’t forget, I am the lord of Menister City.”

He stared at the other person and said, word by word, his tone showing a little coldness.

He is the master of Menister City, and everyone in the city should obey his orders.

“Of course, Lord Earl, I know you are the lord of Menister City.”

The middle-aged general answered neither humble nor humble.

“However, before being your subordinate, I existed as a citizen of Aaron Landis, so I think there is nothing wrong with me going to meet His Highness Huimos.”

“……Retreat.”

The middle-aged general bowed to salute, then turned, his back straightened, and quickly left here.

It could be seen that he obviously didn’t care about the matter of offending City Lord Earl.

After the middle-aged general left, City Lord Earl’s face suddenly became gloomy. He waved his hand violently, and with a crisp bang, the vase on the table beside him was smashed to the ground by him and shattered to pieces.

His chest was undulating violently, obviously emotionally fluctuating.

Damn it.

That damn bastard!

Why didn’t he die?

Why not die in that fire——

Blocked his chest with a breath, Lord Earl almost couldn’t breathe.

Over the years, before he had noticed, Huimos had quietly stretched out his hand to Menister City.

Bit by bit, Hiemos eroded the city.

By the time he found out, at least one-third of the men in Menister City had been bought by Huimos and fell to Huimos’ side.

The general just now was one of them.

Today, the general even went to greet Heimos with great fanfare without any scruples, and showed that he was on the side of Heimos.

Those damn betrayers!

Had it not been for the betrayers who had thrown at Hoymos to make him feel more and more uneasy, he would not be desperate this time, using all the chess pieces that he had lurked in the palace for so many years to cooperate with certain people, or even hesitate to use it. With the pawns in the most precious royal knights, we must also seize the opportunity to pull Huimos from the position of the crown prince.

But it failed.

This time, he failed again.

And Huimos suddenly came to Menister City, apparently discovering that he was behind the scenes, and came to him to settle the account.

The current Huimos is no longer what it used to be.

Not only because of his status as Prince Aaron Landis, but more importantly, his strength, his fame, and his impressive military exploits have become an existence that no one dares to ignore.

If Huimos wants to take his Menister City…

Thinking of this possibility, Lord Earl’s chest tightened.

He gritted his teeth hard.

Ahhh… that stupid Prince Garland has been doing bad things about him all the time.

This was the case many years ago, and it is still the case now!

Didn’t that foolish prince know that something happened to Huimos and that he was the most profitable?

Why nosy?

Why do you want to help your enemy!

“My Father.”

Just as Earl was cursing in his heart, his son Buck walked out from behind.

He was standing behind just now, listening to the conversation between his father and the general.

Growing up as an heir, Buck is not stupid. He also knows that many forces in this city have secretly turned to Himos.

This time Huimos suddenly came to Menister City, and he must have no good intentions.

Earle raised his eyes to Buck.

Looking at the tall and handsome son standing in front of him, his face eased a lot.

“Buck, come here.”

He reached out his hand to his child.

Buck stepped forward and knelt before his father on one knee.

Lord Earl stretched out his hand and stroked his head lovingly.

“Don’t worry, my child.”

He said,

“You are my child and the future master of Menister City. I swear to you that no one will want to take this city from you.”

“Especially Hiemos—that little bastard—”

“My child Buck, look at him, he will soon fall from a height, he will never overtake you! I swear, he will always be trampled under your feet! Yes, always—”

Stroking the head of his beloved son, Lord Earl kept talking, a madness appeared in his eyes.

He will not let his children repeat the same mistakes.

He will not let Buck suffer the humiliation he has endured.

…………

When Buck left his father’s room, the night was already very deep, and the bright moon hung over the night sky, sprinkling fine silver light on the earth.

Standing in front of the door of his father’s room, Buck paused, looked back at the closed door, and frowned.

He felt that his father’s mood was very wrong today. He wanted to ask clearly, but his father told him to leave. He just told him to let him stay in the room tonight and don’t walk around.

Huimos.

Buck said the name silently in his heart.

He looked down at his hand. There was a big scar on the palm of his right hand, which was the scar left by the tip of the gun.

Because of this injury, he couldn’t make further progress for a long time, whether it was bow and arrow or swordsmanship.

Therefore, every time he heard the news that Huimos had made a military exploit in the Northern Army, he was very unhappy.

Over the years, his father kept telling him that he is the future Lord of Menistere, and Huimos would never be able to take this city from their father and son.

Never think about it–

He listened to his father repeatedly repeating these words to him as if possessed by a demon.

Once, he couldn’t help but remind his father that Huimos was already the crown prince, and might even become the king of Aaron Landis. He would not care about such a city at all.

But he regretted it after he finished speaking, because at that moment, his father stared at him so fiercely that he was scared.

“Don’t even think about it!”

His father said viciously.

“Impossible, don’t think about it, it will never be possible!”

“That little bastard don’t want to pass you, he can only be trampled under your feet for the rest of his life…yes, for the rest of his life…”

At that time, his father kept chanting these words, and his generous and gentle face was extremely hideous.

In fact, Buck never understood why his father had such a deep resentment towards Huimos.

Yes, resentment.

If he was worried that Heymos would threaten his position as the heir of the city lord, it would be enough to be on guard at best, but his father’s attitude towards Heymos was not only despised, but even with a deep hatred.

Buck left here with a lot of confusion in his head, and returned to his room, but he was destined to have trouble sleeping all night.

When Buck left, Lord Earl sat quietly in his room.

The bright light illuminates his profile, which is a profile that is slightly similar to Huimos, or, rather, a profile that is more similar to his long-lost brother.

The lights flickered on his face, flickering and dimming.

He sat quietly, like a stone statue, with a deep gaze.

Your elder brother.

Because of your existence, I have lived in your shadow all my life.

You are so powerful, generous, and kind, everyone is admiring you, watching you, and surrounding you.

No one has ever seen me.

Even the father and mother are like this. You are the only one in their eyes.

Brother, as brilliant as you, I’m afraid I’ll never understand the pain of being alone in the shadows, being swallowed by a jealous viper.

You suppressed me for a lifetime.

But, unfortunately, I was the one who won in the end.

I was the one who became the lord of Menister City in the end.

You lost to me.

But why, you still want to leave a child, and continue to press my child.

It’s like when you pressed me down.

I don’t allow it.

I will not let my children bear the humiliation that I experienced.

Your elder brother.

I defeated you in the first place.

Now, no matter what method is used, no matter what the price is paid…I will let my child keep your child underfoot!

…………

“Master Earle, what you did… Although it was aimed at that trap, isn’t it too dangerous?”

“Huimos is now in a different identity. If you want to pull him off, you must pay some price.”

“However, if you accidentally miss your hand, you will really be seriously injured.”

“That’s it.”

A cold smile appeared at the corner of the city lord’s mouth.

“I want everyone to know that he personally stabbed me, stabbed his uncle, and let everyone know that he wanted to kill his own uncle himself.”

He wanted to ruin Huimos’ reputation and be accused of–
