A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 160. Chapter 160

The moon has crossed the middle of the night sky. It is already midnight. The whole city is quiet, and most of the people are asleep.

Only the palace is still lit in the dark.

The silver-like shards of moonlight fell on the green grass, covering the scattered blond hair with a thin layer of shimmer, and the young man who was kneeling on the grass panted violently.

Sweat leaked from his forehead and wet his forehead. His hair was stained with a few grasses, his face was dusty and muddy, and he looked ashamed.

My whole body was in pain, and my body was beaten to the ground again and again, and now it hurts like I’m falling apart.

Garlan’s chest undulated violently. He panted, grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands, and supported his body with the sword inserted in the grass.

After taking a deep breath, he stood up again. It’s just that the body shakes a little, and the movement to stand up is reluctant.

In the moonlight, the young boy’s exposed arms and skin on his shoulders were all bruises, all traces of being beaten just now.

Garlan raised his head, and his blond hair was scattered in front of his eyes, cheeks, and shoulders, making him look extremely embarrassed.

But he still stood there panting, clenching the hilt in both hands, erecting the long sword in front of him, bowing slightly, once again assumed a fighting posture, looking straight ahead with determination.

In front of the boy, King Camos stood there.

The moonlight shone from behind him, leaving his face in the shadow of the backlight, making it difficult to see the look on his face at the moment.

He stood very steadily, with his hands hanging on his side, his sword pointed to the ground, and his muscular arms glowed with dark brown under the dim light.

The angular lips are a little tighter than usual, giving people a great sense of solemnity and oppression.

The eyes of King Camos hidden in the shadows were quite embarrassed on the opposite side, and at the moment he was already a bruised young man, his pupils seemed to have shrunk.

However, he still had that expressionless appearance. After seeing that Garlan had stood up and was ready to face the battle again, he took a sudden step forward, slashing down heavily with the long sword in his hand.

A snow-white edge passed in the dark night, accompanied by the whistling sound of the broken blade.

Garlan’s shoulders tightened abruptly, he clenched the hilt with both hands, and raised the long sword to face the heavy sword that was chopped down——

Although he had a foreboding that the strength of his sore and painful arms was no longer enough to resist this powerful sword, this time, I am afraid that even the sword in his hand will be smashed out of his hand.

And he will be beaten to the ground mercilessly by Brother Wang again–

Suddenly, a huge but fast-moving brown figure leaped into the dark night and plunged between the two.

Both of them paused.

The sword in Camos’s hand was still held high in the night sky, and his brows were already frowned.

The thick mane spread out in the dark night, and the huge lion stopped in front of Garland, arched, his muscles tense, and he looked like he was ready to go, as if threatening Camos. Growl.

In the roar, it opened its huge mouth, and its sharp teeth reflected a cold light.

King Camos and it looked at each other for a few seconds.

Then, he put down the raised sword.

Probably because the aggression felt from Camos has disappeared, and the lion’s tight and slightly bowed body has also eased.

It once again gave a low growl at Camos as a warning, then, turning its head, arched the huge head into Garlan’s arms.

Before he recovered, Gallan was in a daze. Suddenly, he was arched by the mane-filled head. One of them was arched to the ground by Nega without paying attention, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

Sitting on the grass, he subconsciously hugged Niega’s head, who was constantly rubbing against him.

The sword in King Camos’s hand hung down and stood there, looking sideways.

“You brought this guy here?”

He said, his chin was raised against the big lion who was facing Galanza.

Kaihuos and others have been standing aside, their full attention was focused on the battle between King Camos and Galan… To be precise, Galan was unilaterally hanged.

King Camos suddenly said this, and they only noticed that Huimos did not know when he appeared here.

“Yes.”

Huimos answered.

King Camos snorted.

“Do you think it is useful to bring this guy?”

Huimos didn’t answer this time, he came over, walked between Garlan and King Camos, then, bowed his head and knelt down in front of King Camos on one knee.

He just knelt, bowed his head, remained silent, and said nothing.

Almost at the same time he knelt, Kaihus quickly walked to Garlan’s body and knelt down at the feet of King Camos.

It was also silent, just kneeling quietly.

The Taputi female officer was still holding King Kamos’ cloak in her hand, and she also stepped forward and stopped in front of Garlan, watching King Kamos with a look of imploring expression.

Camos’ gaze swept over the people who were blocking him, and then fell on Garlan.

“Gallan, how does it feel to be protected by these people who have been abandoned by you?”

He said, expressionless.

Garlan, who was sitting on the grass, breathed slightly.

His lips moved and opened, but there was no sound, because he didn’t know what to say, so he could only subconsciously grasp Niega’s mane.

“You thought that you just left the throne, that it was just something you didn’t want. But you never thought that what you did was to abandon all the people who followed you and guarded you all these years. ”

In the deep night, the voice of the Lion King became deeper and deeper.

“No matter what the excuse is, you abandon them, that’s the fact.”

Even his brother Wang also discarded it as well–

“Until now I don’t know, what is your reason for rejecting the throne.”

He said, “But, Garland, you don’t understand that it is not you who choose the throne. No one is qualified to choose it, but the throne is choosing who can sit on it.”

“The selected person has no right to refuse!”

King Camos finished speaking hard, raised his hand and shook it hard. The sharp sword he threw down hit the ground heavily, and the blade sank into the ground halfway.

Afterwards, he turned straight and left.

Only the long sword stood diagonally on the ground, reflecting the shallow moonlight.

Huimos was squinted before leaving by King Camos, knowing that King Camos’s eyes wanted to follow him to report the city of Menistere, so he got up and followed.

Xiemuer glanced at Garlan, who was kneeling on the grass, and said nothing, but also followed in the footsteps of King Camos, who had followed Huimos together.

But Tapti stood up and looked at Garlan’s bruise from being beaten distressedly. He wanted to say something, but he realized that he was still holding the cloak of King Camos, so he closed his mouth again. , Turned and walked quickly towards the room not far away.

Only Garlan and Kaihuos were left in the garden, and it was quiet again. In the dark, no one spoke.

The big lion doesn’t understand the complicated atmosphere among human beings, and just clings to Garlan, which he hasn’t seen for a long time, arching around.

Gallan touched Niega’s mane with one hand. The slicked Niega shook his head and was very happy. There was a gurgling noise in his throat, but Gallan was not happy.

Just when he was kneeling and sitting on the grass in a trance, a hand reached out to him.

He raised his eyes to meet the gaze of his guardian knight.

Kayhus knelt in front of him and stretched out his hand, which seemed to be an attempt to lift him up.

Gallan shook his head, a little unstable, but still supported the ground and stood up by herself.

He stood up, but Kehus still knelt in front of him on one knee, without the intention of getting up.

Garlan looked at Kaihus hesitantly, not knowing what to say for a while, only felt that the atmosphere was so stiff, he could only keep rubbing Niega’s mane to hide his embarrassment.

Gallan didn’t know what to say, but Kehos, who was kneeling, spoke.

He said, “His Royal Highness, do you think…I am very useless?”

“what?”

“Because I am useless, so you don’t want to tell me anything.”

The blond knight lowered his head and his voice was low. The hand he pressed on the ground was tightly clenched, and he could see that he was sad now.

“Because I am useless and can’t help you, so I will be abandoned by you. This is all because I am too weak to rely on you and cannot help your highness share your troubles.”

“No… not so.”

These words of Kaihuos made Garlan a little dazed for a while, looking at Kaihuos who was depressed, he quickly shook his head to deny it.

“It has nothing to do with you, Kaihuos, I am too self-willed, that’s why…”

“No, there is nothing wrong with Your Highness. It must be me who is wrong. I am not qualified to be your guardian knight, so I am not trusted by you. This is my own problem!”

To interrupt Garlan’s words, Kaihus said categorically.

“I am not qualified to be your guardian knight, so I was abandoned by you. I have no complaints about that.”

He said,

“As a guardian knight abandoned by my master, I have no face to face you anymore, no face to continue to live in this world.”

The blond knight stretched out his hand and grabbed the long sword that Garlan had fallen to the ground when he was arched by Nega.

“The reason why I have lived until now is that I want to see you one last time before I die.”

He said in a deep voice, putting the blade on his neck with his backhand.

“Prince Garland, I am very happy to serve you so far. From then on, I…”

“Wait, wait a minute! Stop it!”

Garlan held down Kehos’s hand.

He was frightened.

“You are not wrong, it is me who is wrong, it is me who did the wrong thing, it has nothing to do with you, don’t be like this! Put down the sword!”

“No, you can’t be wrong, prince, it must be something I haven’t done well.”

“No, you are very good, very good, I have always been proud of you, so don’t do such stupid things!”

“But I have been abandoned by you, prince. The guardian knight who has left the master will be regarded as a shame by everyone. It is better to be reduced to that point than…”

Um? Will the guardian knight who leave the master be looked down upon by others?

Is there such a saying?

Gallan had just wondered.

Kayjos’s hand, who was staring at him, suddenly pressed hard, and the sharp blade immediately plunged into the skin of Kayjos’s throat, cutting open a shallow blood stain, and the blood oozes out in an instant.

At this moment, Garlan was so horrified that he didn’t want to think about it anymore, and immediately put that little doubt behind him, and stubbornly held Kehos’s hand.

“I won’t abandon you, Kaihus, no matter what happens!”

Garlan, who was frightened by the bloodstain, tried to coax Kaihus, for fear that the other’s hand would tremble, which would cause irreversible consequences.

“You are my guardian knight, and you have been for the rest of your life.”

“You won’t be hiding something from me in the future, right?”

“will not.”

“If you have any concerns, you will discuss with me?”

“Yes, it will.”

“Do you still want to leave the palace?”

“No, I’m not leaving.”

“It doesn’t matter if you want to leave, but will you take me with you?”

“I’m not going to say it… If there is one day, I will definitely take you with you.”

“You swear?”

“I swear, in the name of Shamash, that no matter what happens, I will never leave you again. So, Kaijos, hurry up and put the sword down for me—”

“Okay, Your Highness.”

As soon as Garlan finished swearing, Kaihus immediately put down the sword on his neck in good faith.

He stood up, raised his eyebrows and showed a bright smile to his master.

Garland: “…”

Isn’t it… I always feel that… this scene seems to have happened many years ago?

…It seems to be a repeat of the scene where Kayhus became his guardian knight?

After a long while, Gallan, who finally recovered, stared at the guardian knight in front of him, grinning his teeth.

“…Kyjos.”

“Yes?”

The knight calmly responded.

“You are a famous’knight of the sun’ anyway, but you don’t feel ashamed if you use this kind of tricks that women and children usually cry, make troubles and hang themselves!”

The little prince who had been bluffed by Kayjos’s trick angrily pointed at his knight.

“do not think so.”

Answer in one second.

Garland: “…”

Retreat in one second.

“Do you care about your honor as a knight…”

He whispered.

Kaihus smiled, and he raised his hand to hold Garlan’s hand that was pointing at him.

“Prince Garland.”

The blond knight held Garlan’s hand, lowered his eyes, and smiled on his handsome face.

He lowered his eyes, and the blood on his throat still oozes a little blood, which makes people startled.

“I am your guardian knight, and this is my greatest honor… Until the day of death, I will walk into my graveyard with this honor.”

He leaned over, bowed his head and kissed his prince’s hand.

“My prince, please remember…”

He said softly, word by word.

“If you abandon it, to me, it is no different from death.”

The garden was quiet for a long time.

After a long time, Garlan’s voice sounded in the night.

“……sorry.”

Accompanied by this soft voice of apology, the big lion made a low scream with doubts.

…………

……………………

In the dead of night, the lights were still on in the king’s bedroom, and King Camos sat on the stone seat with a deep expression on his face.

Huimos, who had reported the affairs of Menister City, had already left. At this moment, only King Camos and the priest of Shamash standing aside were left in the room.

King Camos sat with a calm face, still with that expressionless appearance.

Xiemu’er raised his eyes and glanced, he saw that the hand that King Camos put on the armrest was clenched very tightly and hard.

Those eyes stared in front of him like hot coals, as if they were frozen.

It seems that the king is still angry about Prince Garland’s affairs.

The priest of Shamash thought so.

I have been sitting there for a long time with a stern face, motionless, and the anger doesn’t look light.

However, this continued to make the king be angry with the prince, after all, the prince had already been taught a lesson.

Thought Xiemuer.

Only this time, he reluctantly helped Prince Garland intercede, let King Camos calm down and forgive the prince.

After making the decision, Xiemur coughed softly.

“Your Majesty, I know you are very angry this time, Prince Garland did make a big mistake.”

He said,

“However, he has already received the punishment he deserves. Moreover, as His Royal Highness has just said, Prince Gallan came back on his own initiative. I think the prince should have known his mistake and repented. Meaning.”

“So, please forgive the prince for his fault. After all, you have already taught him a lot…”

“Enough! Stop talking!”

Xiemuer’s pleading for Garlan was roughly interrupted by King Camos.

Xie Muer’s heart shuddered.

It seems that King Camos is really angry this time, and he is still angry at Prince Garland. Is he already disappointed with the prince and intends to abandon him?

No, this won’t work.

Just when Xiemur was anxious to persuade King Camos, Camos had already continued.

“Stop reminding me of this, Xiemur.”

King Camos put his head in his hands and let out a weak moan.

“I hit Garlan… I hit him… Sheemur, why don’t you stop me!”

He looked up and glared at Xie Muer.

Xiemuer: “???”

So is it my fault?

I saw that the lion king who was sitting majestic and exuding oppressive aura a moment ago had already stood up, spinning around in the room like a headless fly, going round and round.

“Ah, I actually did it, I actually did it to the kid… I didn’t want it, I really didn’t want it… Why did you say I did it?”

“I don’t know if it hurts or not… It must be very painful. I fell so badly that I was bruised… I should be lighter… Ah!”

Camos was thinking about it in circles, scratching his head with both hands, rubbing his brown hair into a mess.

Finally, he stopped spinning around the room and looked up at his priest.

“Sheemur, do you think Garland will hate me and ignore me in the future?”

The look in the eyes of the Lion King at this moment gave people a pitiful feeling.

Xiemuer: “…”

do not want to answer.

Just want to beat people.

Just want to commit the following.
