A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 158. Chapter 158
The originally tense and dangerous atmosphere suddenly turned a corner, and almost everyone’s movements stopped for a moment.
Not to mention the knight commander who was still lying on the ground, even Shuros, who had already opened his bow not far away and stared at Hoymos intently at any moment, shook his hand.
This development…what seems to be wrong?
Almost all the knights who were prepared for’Heymos will injure Garland in a loss of control, and they are going to rush to rescue Prince Garland’. The knights were all stunned.
Seeing Heymos holding Garland tightly in his arms, looking at them sharply and vigilantly, how does it look like these people who want to save people have become bad people?
Even Gallan, who was being guarded by Huimos, was a little dazed.
He rushed up just now, desperately pulling Hoymos back, and he was ready to fight against the crazy Hoymos, and then be beaten to the ground by him…
Who knew that before he had time to do anything, Huimos stretched out his right hand, swept it, and was hugged.
Because he was hugged too tightly, Garlan’s whole body was tightly attached to Huimos.
Still a little stunned, he just stuck his face on the opponent’s chest, blinked, then blinked again.
“…Himos?”
Gallan raised his head and shouted.
Hiemos looked down at him, seeming to answer him subconsciously with a hum, but the expression looked a little absent.
The pupils were also slightly dilated, as if looking at a very distant void, unable to focus on one spot.
Gallan saw Heymos’ eyes. The original golden red eyes were much brighter than usual. The tone seemed to be dyed red by something. The storm-like hostility was surging in the depths of the eyes, and the light The light gold was pressed down.
The eye sockets were shrouded in the dark shadow of the scattered forehead, and the eyes were faintly revealing a bit of dark bird.
The look was too terrifying, and it made people shudder at first glance.
Gallan was also shocked instantly, but it wasn’t because he was shocked by the look in Huimos’ eyes at the moment.
He was shocked, because Huimos’ eyes at the moment were already half-six points like those of previous lives.
Before he could think about it, Gallan subconsciously reached out to hold Huimos’ cheek, trying to hold the other’s face, so that the two of them could look at each other.
“Himos.”
Holding Huimos’ cheeks in both hands, he yelled again in a low voice.
“Can you recognize me?” He tentatively softly, “Do you know who I am?”
Hiemos’ pupils were still a bit dilated, and they were held by Gallan at the moment, their faces were facing each other, and Gallan’s shadow was reflected in the pupils, and the pupils seemed to shrink a little.
He originally had a cluster of fire in his heart, and the fire burned his internal organs, as if it was really burning his flesh and blood, even his bones and blood. It burned him painfully, just wanting to vent it regardless.
At this moment, being touched by Garlan, the coolness of the fingertips holding his cheeks seemed to seep into his skin, causing the crimson under his eyes to dissipate a bit.
“……I……”
His sanity is still a little messy, so messy that he doesn’t even know who he is and where he is. He only knows that the guy named Earl in front of him is his hateful enemy, and he wants to kill him frantically.
But just now, when he turned his head and saw that Garlan was caught by someone else and pulled out, he was almost instinctive, and his body moved on its own.
No matter what, no matter who it is, it is not as important as the boy in his arms.
His body is telling him.
His thoughts were in confusion, but his body was warning him not to hurt the boy.
He looked at Garlan a little confused, only to feel that his brain was flickering and dimming, and countless fragments were stirred in it, causing him to have a splitting headache.
“Himos.”
He listened to this voice softly calling his name, and his confused brain suddenly dispersed, and the fragments disappeared without a trace.
He dropped his head and fell on Garlan, losing consciousness.
Heymos suddenly fell on his body, and Gallan subconsciously hugged him. The weight of Heymos’s whole body was on his body. It was very heavy. It was impossible to hold him. But, help I can still hold it.
He turned his head to look at the knight commander on the side. The knight commander had already stood up, but his eyes were still looking at them in astonishment, as if they were a little confused about the situation.
“Hemos ordered you before, right?”
Gallan asked him.
The knight commander finally reacted and quickly answered.
“Uh, yes, yes, your highness.”
“You should follow his previous orders now, and wait until he wakes up later.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
The sober knight commander bowed his head and saluted Garlan, then turned his head and moved quickly.
The original Menister City Lord Earl was pressed by two knights and moved to one side. He will be temporarily detained in his room, not allowed to go out or meet anyone. The same is true for his son Buck.
And the middle-aged general also hurried out after saluting Galan, he still had a lot to do.
Issue King Camos’s imperial decree to announce the news of Earl’s abolition as the city lord in the city. At the same time, unite with the city forces on his side to suppress and monitor the forces that are not on his side, and the entire city is under martial law to avoid chaos, etc. , He has to deal with these things.
Earle seemed very calm at the moment, completely devoid of the excitement of scolding Huimos just now. He stood there, his expression indifferent, and he couldn’t see any emotions. Just for some reason, before leaving, he suddenly turned his head and gave Garlan a deep look.
Gallan still held the posture of holding Heimos who had passed out of a coma, and looked at Earl at each other.
He didn’t understand Earl’s eyes, because Earl’s eyes contained too many emotions and too complicated.
“I say……”
Shuluos, who had been staying for a long time, finally recovered.
“What did you call him just now?”
Before Garland could answer, he asked and answered.
“What you just called… Hiemos?”
As soon as Shuros spoke, the knight commander next to him raised his eyebrows.
“Presumptuous!” He stared at Shuluos coldly, “Who are you? How dare you call His Highness by name so presumptuously?”
However, Shuros seemed to have never heard his scolding, with a sleepwalking expression on his face.
“Ahhh… I knew… I should have known…”
“It’s that… That Highness… I should have thought of it long ago, depending on how you get along…”
Shuros thought in a trance.
“I was so stupid that he was your confidant knight. That’s why… Ah, why didn’t I expect it to be that’black knight’.”
“I’m so stupid, really, I only knew that there was a prince by my side, but I didn’t expect…”
I didn’t bother to worry about the bard who had fallen into his own world because of excessive shock. Gallan turned his head and said a few words to the knight commander.
The knight commander responded, leaned over and lifted Huimos on his back, and sent him to a nearby room.
“Just leave things to me here in Huimos, there should be a lot of things next, you can handle it.”
Garlan said so.
He didn’t know what the purpose of Himos was here, if he took the initiative or gave orders, he might accidentally disrupt Himos’ plan. So he didn’t plan to go out and command blindly, just let Heimos’ subordinates go by themselves.
The knight nodded, saluted and turned and left.
After only him and Huimos were left in the room, Garland turned his head to look at Huimos who was lying on the bed, and then heaved a long sigh of relief.
Finally caught up.
he thinks.
At this moment, his heart that had been hanging high from the moment Heimos was coming to Menister City finally fell.
Along the way, he was thirsty and tired. Gallan moved a wooden chair and poured himself a glass of cold water. He sat down by the bed, drinking and watching the people on the bed. .
Hiemos lay there quietly, his eyes stretched out, his face was handsome, his expression calm, and he was almost two people with the hostile man just now.
Scattered black hair scattered around the corners of his slightly raised eyes, intertwined with the slender eyelashes, and Gallan couldn’t help but stretch out his forehead when he looked at it.
The black hair was delicate and cool.
It feels so good.
Although Nega’s hair is thicker and the fur is warmer, it is a bit rough, not so soft and smooth, like velvet.
Garlan thought so in his heart, and couldn’t help but fiddle with the tuft of hair twice.
It’s boring to sit here anyway, he just thought about the reason why Heymos was strange just now, while subconsciously flicking Heymos’s hair.
But he was already exhausted because of the reason he drove all night, but he didn’t feel sleepy when he was worried about things and he was very nervous. Now that the things are over, his hanging heart has fallen. This relaxation, the tiredness also surges. Come on up.
In the end, he fell asleep on the side of the bed in a daze, but his fingers were still holding a bunch of Heimos’s hair.
And shortly after Garland fell asleep, Huimos opened his eyes.
He stared at the roof in a daze for a long time, before his eyes became clearer a little.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw Garlan lying next to him, sleeping soundly, his heart softened suddenly, he raised his head and wanted to get up, but his hair hurts, like being pulled by something.
Looking at it again, Gallan was actually holding a tuft of forehead hair in his right hand, and he did not let go when he fell asleep.
Huimos froze for a moment, then burst into laughter, his eyes softening.
He took Garlan’s hand and rescued his hair, got up and sat on the edge of the bed.
Garlan lay on the bed, her long golden hair slipping from his shoulders, exposing the back of his neck.
As soon as the seated Heimos lowered his head, he saw the white back of the young man’s neck, and a little pink trace of cherry blossoms on it was reflected in his eyes.
The memory of his childhood flashed across his mind, his eyes moved slightly, and his hand stretched out, and his fingertips lightly stroked the trace a few times.
However, it seemed that it was not enough, and Heimos leaned over and bowed his head deeply.
The slightly cool lips fell on the pink mark, and a kiss was extremely gentle, with indescribable affection.
At this moment, Garlan, who was lightly asleep, suddenly raised his hand suddenly.
With a snap.
It was very clear in this quiet room.
“How come there are mosquitoes…”
The mumbling teenager opened his eyes sleepily, and when he looked up, he saw Hoymos with a dark face and squinted at him ill-intentionally.
Garlan turned his mind, remembering the itchy feeling on the back of his neck just now, and snapping it, and instantly understood.
“Deserve it.”
I guessed right away that he was probably asleep just now and slapped Huimos inadvertently, but Garland said that he was not sorry at all.
He stood up, touched the nape of his neck that still seemed to have a touch, and looked down at Hiemos uncomfortably.
“You guy who takes advantage of others.”
Just deserve it.
If it wasn’t for this guy Huimos to take advantage of him while he was sleepy and tired, how could he be slapped so easily.
Hiemos sat on the edge of the bed, looking up at Garland for a few minutes.
He didn’t refute, just pursed his lips, then lowered his eyes.
His lips are already thin, but they become sharper when they are tightened.
“I saw a very strange picture just now…”
“what?”
Gallan suddenly remembered what he wanted to ask.
“Speaking of it, what happened to you just now, suddenly seemed like crazy, so a bunch of people can’t hold you back?”
Huimos frowned.
“I’m not very clear, but at that time, I seemed to have only the idea of killing Earl, so…”
“Huimos, I know you hate Earl, but Earl is your uncle. Of course, I don’t mean to say that he can do whatever he wants with you if he is your uncle, I just want to say, Since Brother Wang has given the imperial order, he is destined to be abolished. Why do you ruin your future in order to vent your anger on this invalid person?”
Gallan said, every word, with heart and soul.
“Smashing a crock with a jade bottle is very uneconomical, don’t you think?”
Amused by the lesson-like tone of the teenager, but fearing that he would make Gallan upset when he laughed, Hoymos could only hold back his smile, his face was a little weird.
And Garland regarded his smirk and weird face as unwilling, and thought of the messy things Earl had done…Heymos, who abused children or was still a child, didn’t say anything, and forced Heymos to leave. After he was in Menister City, he still refused to let him go. From small to large, various small and big movements continued, and he wanted to put Huimos to death…Gallan also vaguely guessed it. I am afraid that the frame-up incident not long ago. It was also arranged secretly by Earl.
Thinking about it this way, I feel that Heymos hates him so much that he wants to kill Earl. It seems that he can understand…
Looking down again, Heimos sat quietly beside the bed with his eyes down. No matter how he looked like a little pitiful, he couldn’t help reaching out and touching Heymos’ head to comfort him.
“If you want to retaliate, you have to retaliate. This is your right.”
He exhorted.
“But, promise me, you definitely can’t do it on Earl yourself.”
In fact, there is no feeling of sadness and sadness at all, it is purely that Huimos, who is looking down and recalling the scene at that time, was touched so, and then raised his head to look at Gallan.
Gallan quickly withdrew his hands.
“At that time, I saw a very strange picture.”
He said,
“I saw that many years ago, you didn’t push me away. Charcoal fire fell on me, and the fire burned on me.”
Gallan took a breath.
“That feeling is very real, as if it really happened…Most of my body was burned and almost died. In the end, although I managed to get through it, my body became like a monster… Even… my future…”
Huimos only said half of the last sentence, then stopped, as if he didn’t want to continue.
“The scenes were like nightmares, and the nightmares seemed real, so I couldn’t control my hatred for Earl at all.”
He was in a daze, looking down at one of his hands.
His palm had lost palm prints because of the original burn, but it was still intact, and it looked like an ordinary person from the back of his hand.
But in the scenes that flashed, his entire arm was as ugly and hideous as the devil’s claws. He looked disgusting, so he could only keep it wrapped in bandages.
“That feeling…very scary.”
He murmured, just thinking about that scene, he felt like he was shrouded in darkness, no matter how madly struggling, he couldn’t see hope or the future.
That feeling is almost suffocating.
“I don’t know, if I really become like that, what will I be like… I will survive like a monster? Or…”
…Or, from the body to the heart, truly become a monster?
“It won’t be like that.”
Someone interrupted him.
Huimos raised his eyes and met Garland’s gaze.
“I won’t let things happen like that. Do you remember? What I said at that time, I will take care of you, and I will protect you.”
Garlan looked at him and said.
“I said, I will definitely do it.”
The young boy’s eyes were astonishingly bright.
He said, “Trust me, I will protect you.”
Looking at the bright golden eyes, the corners of Heimos’ lips suddenly rose a little.
Then, he suddenly stretched out his hand.
He just sat on the edge of the bed and stretched out his hands to Garlan.
He looked up at Garlan, his eyes shining slightly, as if there were stars flashing under his eyes.
Gallan stayed for a while, watching Heymos’s action, couldn’t help but complain.
“I said, do you think you are still a child? Would you like to hug you a little higher?”
The corners of Huimos’s mouth rose sharply.
“Um.”
He still maintained this posture of extending his hands to Garlan.
He said: “Hug.”
Obviously he is a big man, but this sentence, three words, he speaks with confidence and frankness.
Garland: “…”
Is it too late to take back what I just said?
