A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 163. Chapter 163

Gallan scratched his head. From now on, it seems that Kehuos and Shuluos, two people he once thought must have a common language, could never get along with each other.

However, as a blessing in disguise, the female officer Taputi’s attitude towards Shuros was much better.

Although Shuluos is not romantic in nature, over the years, he has developed the habit of talking sweetly when he sees beautiful women. Not to mention that he will not be able to change it for a while. Even if it can be changed, he wants to be an eternal bardic. The poet’s guy won’t change it either.

Therefore, after being stunned by Kayjos for an afternoon, Shulos returned to the appearance of a flower and butterfly in the evening, talking and laughing with the maids in the Garland Palace as if smeared with honey.

If it were replaced by the previous one, Taputi would definitely drive such people out unceremoniously.

But now, the magistrate calmly watched the bard shake his feathers.

In her opinion, anyway, this flower magpie chirps more joyously, that is, just a little bit better at her mouth, and she doesn’t have the guts to really do anything.

After all, a virgin who is nearly 30 years old.

Just when Tapti calmly ignored the bard who was playing the piano and singing songs to the maids, and handed Garland a glass of freshly squeezed juice, someone walked in from outside.

When the man came, the maids who were sitting on the ground happily listening to Shuros chanting poems fell silent for a moment, and immediately got up and stood up, bowing their heads respectfully and nervously.

Although Shuluos didn’t know who this person was, the maids looked trembling, and subconsciously stopped playing.

The originally lively room suddenly fell silent, and Tapti turned his head to look subconsciously, and then there was a clear look in her eyes, and she directly greeted him.

“Your Excellency Xiemuer.”

She asked, “Is there anything wrong with you here at this time?”

The priest of Shamash hummed, stretched out his hand, and handed a glass bottle in his hand to the magistrate.

“The ointment that the doctor just made.”

“Ointment? But we still have a lot left here, we don’t need to…”

“This is a new formula. The doctor only prepared it more than ten days ago. The effect is better than the previous one.”

“I see.”

The female officer raised her hand and took the glass medicine bottle.

She smiled and said, “Your Excellency Xiemuer, you are interested.”

Xie Muer gave another faint hum. He didn’t seem to have the mind to continue talking to Tapti. He directly cast his gaze on Garlan, and then swept his whole person up and down.

“Prince Garland, how is your physical condition?”

After scanning Garlan from top to bottom, he asked.

Gallan smiled at him.

“I’m very good.”

“That’s good.”

Xiemur nodded, his gaze fell on Garlan’s arm.

At this moment, Garlan was wearing a loose sleeveless robe, exposing his shoulders and arms. Because his skin was very white, the bruises on his arms were very conspicuous.

“Prince Garland, although King Camos taught you a lesson, it was because you made a mistake. If you make a mistake, you will naturally be punished.”

He said, “If you are dissatisfied with your Majesty because of this, you shouldn’t.”

The original intention of the priest of Shamash was to intercede with his majesty.

After all, in the past two days, the big lion king has been sluggish, a look of listlessness, even his appetite has dropped a lot at once, and he is sighing and sighing every day, annoying people.

In fact, Xiemuer didn’t care about King Camos’s frowning face, but what made him unbearable was that King Camos’s efficiency in handling government affairs was actually much lower than usual.

It’s worth it!

Therefore, Xiemuer decisively came to inquire about the news, and said a kind word to King Camos.

However, the language that was obviously meant to intercede with King Camos came out of his mouth. The hard tone and serious expression seemed to be more like reprimanding Gallan.

Not to mention the corners of the female officer who was standing in the room holding the glass medicine bottle twitched slightly, and the person who was listening outside with his ears upright scratched the wall with hatred.

“So, Prince Garland, you can’t be dissatisfied with your majesty, do you understand?”

After saying this, Xie Muer, who felt like he had finished speaking, coughed slightly.

“That’s all I want to say.”

Then he turned and left, leaving the room staring at him.

The room was silent, and then the bard who was sitting next to him still holding a lute spoke.

“This is… on behalf of King Camos to reprimand you?”

He frowned and asked.

Garlan glanced at him and suddenly smiled.

Then, he put down the juice in his hand, stood up, and ran out quickly.

…………

Just as Xiemur, who felt that he had successfully completed the task, just walked out of the gate of King Garlan’s womb, a hand suddenly stretched out from the ground and clasped his shoulder.

Sheemur, who was suddenly attacked, subconsciously grabbed that hand and was about to fight back.

But as soon as he looked up, he saw his majesty staring at him fiercely, and the eyes staring at him were about to burst into flames.

“Why are you here?”

You know, in the past two days, King Camos was listless, but he resolutely refused to take the initiative to see Garlan, saying that he wanted to protect his brother’s face.

Somewhat surprised Xie Muer first saluted politely, and then, looking at the fire-breathing eyes of King Camos, he asked.

“Who made you angry?”

“you.”

King Camos said, expressionless.

“Um?”

“It’s you who irritated me! What were you talking about just now?” The Lion King was so mad at his clumsy priest that he was screaming at the moment, “I asked you to inquire about the situation, but I didn’t let you. Go and reprimand Garlan!”

“I didn’t scold the prince.”

Xiemur frowned and said.

Those words he said were all interceding for King Camos. Where could he reprimand the prince?

King Camos: “…”

Want to beat someone.

Beat hard.

After having this idea, he simply decided to put this idea into action.

“Come on, Xiemuer, accompany me to relax my muscles and bones.”

He grinned with a dangerous smile, squeezed his hands together to move, and directly called Xiemur to go to the martial arts field together.

He would give this speechless guy a severe beating to relieve his anger.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

And the priest who didn’t know how to look at other people’s faces so he was unaware of the coming danger answered like this.

It’s just that as soon as he finished speaking, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and his gaze looked behind Queen Camos.

In an instant, he keenly felt someone approaching him behind him. King Camos’s body was almost reflexively turned on his side, and then he stretched out his hand and grabbed the hand that came to him.

Looking up, King Camos was taken aback.

The person he caught was his brother Garland.

His gaze fell subconsciously on the bruise on the arm he was holding. The hand that was still clasping Garlan’s arm just released immediately. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but for a moment I don’t know what to say in the meantime.

After all, he had been hiding from Garlan for the past two days and refused to meet with Garlan. He had no idea that he would suddenly meet his king brother in this situation.

Therefore, the tall and burly Lion King is now facing the younger brother who is a bit shorter than him, but is bound by his hands and feet, looking like he is at a loss.

Gallan raised his head and glanced at King Camos’s somewhat bewildered gaze.

He suddenly smiled.

He didn’t speak, and threw himself directly into King Camos’s arms, reaching out to hug him.

Then, he hugged King Camos by the waist, raised his face, and looked at Camos with a grin.

“Brother Wang, have you eaten dinner?”

King Camos didn’t react for a while, and shook his head blankly.

The young boy’s golden eyes curled up into a crescent-like arc.

The smiling face makes people feel soft when they look at it.

“Are you eating together?”

Camos was standing there, looking hesitant and struggling. He wanted to hug his cute little brother like this, softly coaxing him, but his priest was still watching, that I don’t know why. The female officer who walked out at the time also stood at the door and looked at him, her eyes seemingly smiling.

He felt that it would be shameful to admit defeat in this way, and that the authority of his brother who finally stood up would be ruined. So he tried to keep his face straight and continued to pretend to be still angry and serious, his face calm and silent.

However, Garlan was not frightened by his serious face, still holding him with a smile and crooked eyes, her soft voice seemed to be acting like a baby.

“Brother Wang~~”

“…”

“I’m not angry.”

“…”

“So, you don’t want to be angry with me anymore, okay?”

After a long while, Camos gave a low hum.

“……good.”

He said, raising his hand and gently touching Garlan’s head.

His rough fingers slid through the golden hair of a teenager, and the touch of his fingertips was the same as before, soft and warm.

…

Well, in this way, political affairs will not be delayed.

The priest of Shamash, who was thinking so in his heart, didn’t know that he had escaped dangerously and dangerously.

…………

………………

Although he was beaten back when he came back, Garland also had a relaxed life like now, sleeping until he woke up naturally. In the daytime, he was either listening to Schloss playing the piano and playing the flute, or staying with Camos. Brother Wang eats and drinks.

Xiemuer used to come to give him lessons every day, but it was probably because he was too busy these few days, but also to heal his injuries, so he gave him a few days off.

Therefore, Garlan had a very comfortable life this day.

A few days later, Xiemuer came to him and talked about the people they had brought back from Tozes City.

The two crimes of tangling military power and abandoning the city in wartime are enough to cause the former consul and related officials of Tozes City to be severely punished, plus the crimes of malfeasance, collusion with piracy, secret smuggling, and slave trafficking, and trial In the end, he would not escape death. Not only would he be ransacked and deprived of his noble status, but his family members would also be demoted to slaves.

And it also involves the chief director.

According to the consul’s account, he gave the Chief Secretary a huge amount of bribes, and the Chief Secretary operated secretly before appointing him as the governor of Tozes City, and he has given him to the Chief Secretary every year. A lot of money.

Because of this, the Chief Secretary, who had the opportunity to take over the post of Secretary General, not only failed to be promoted, but was demoted several levels.

“I see……”

Only then did Gallan understand why the Chief Secretary, who was not behind the scenes at the time, wanted to pull Heimos down so anxiously.

Because after Huimos was disqualified as a crown prince, he would not have the power to command the knights of the guards, so the knights of the guards under Huimos would be transferred away, and Tozes, who was brought back by those knights, would be guilty. The officials will be secretly taken over by the chief secretary.

As long as the bribery is not revealed, the Chief Secretary will most likely succeed in the position of the Secretary of the Left.

“And one more thing.”

“what?”

“Do you know Earl, the former Lord of Menister City?”

“Uh… I can’t say that I know each other, I just met once.”

He met once when he stopped Hoymos, and then when the man was taken away, he gave himself a very complicated look.

“He asked to see you, so I’ll report it to you.”

“Huh? See me?”

Gallan was stunned.

“Are you sure you heard me wrong? He wanted to see Heimos? Why did he see me?”

“That’s right, he asked to see Prince Garland.”

Xiemuer said, “It’s up to you to see or not.”

Gallan pondered for a while. It stands to reason that he and that Earl didn’t know each other, and there was nothing to do with him. He didn’t need to see him at all.

However, as long as he remembered that it was this person who caused the tragedy of Heymos in previous lives, thereby indirectly killing him, and in this life, he stopped Heymos and saved that person and that person. The son died…Looking at it this way, he and Earl seemed to be involved quite a bit indirectly.

Then, he will go to see Earl.

And Gallan was still a little curious, not knowing what that guy wanted to tell him.

Now that Prince Garland agreed to meet Earl, Sheemur nodded, and soon arranged the arrangement.

The next day, Xiemuer took Garlan to a tightly guarded room.

There, Garland saw Earl, who had a fate.

He thought that he had suffered such a big change suddenly, and he had fallen from a high-ranking city lord to a prisoner, and he still fell into the hands of his most hated nephew. This Earl should be very embarrassed or very haggard now.

However, the person in the room was not much different from the person in his memory.

Earl sat in the chair, his face calm, holding a cup of hot tea, his face could not be haggard at all.

He sat there, as if everything were business as usual, he was still the overlord City Lord Menister.

When Gallan came in, he calmly put down his teacup and got up.

Then, he leaned over to salute Galan.

“Prince Garland, I know, it is presumptuous to ask to see you.”

He said,

“But there is one thing that I don’t understand, and I really want to get the answer from you.”

“what do you wish to ask?”

“Please forgive me for offending this time.”

Earle straightened up, his gaze fell on Garlan, and he looked deeply at the young prince who had only seen him once.

“You and Huimos are both crown princes, and both have the qualifications to succeed to the throne.”

He said,

“In terms of strength, you are inferior to Heimos, in terms of age, Heimos is older than you, and in terms of performance, you can’t compare with Heimos, even in terms of blood…”

He paused, and his eyes flicked over Garlan’s white complexion.

“…You are far less noble than Heimos, with some of the lower aristocratic bloodlines.”

“presumptuous!”

Earlier, those words before Earl had already made Xiemu’er’s face sink a little bit. When Earl’s last words were spoken, the priest’s face suddenly turned pale, and he shouted angrily.

“Earl, you know how serious it is to insult the prince!”

“I didn’t mean to insult the prince, I was just telling the truth.”

Earl raised his eyes and looked at Garlan.

“What do you mean, Prince Garland.”

Gallan raised his hand, and Xie Muer, who wanted to scold Earl, was taken aback. Although his face was still angry, he obeyed the order and shut his mouth and took a step back.

“Even if you tell the truth…what do you want to explain when you say this?”

Earle was silent for a long time, and many emotions flashed through his eyes.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Garlan.

“His Royal Highness, I’m very curious. You see, from childhood to adulthood, you and Huimos are worlds apart. He is so powerful, he will leave you far away.”

Earle raised his hand to Xie Muer.

“I guess, the priest of Sheemur should have always told you since childhood, you are not as good as Huimos, you are much inferior to Huimos, do things like that belittle you?”

Xie Muer opened his mouth, but couldn’t refute it.

He did say a lot of things like that, but his original intention was not to belittle Prince Garland, but to force the prince to work harder.

“Whoever looks at it will feel that Heymos is the one who should inherit the throne in the future. Almost everyone will think so-they will constantly compare you with Heymos and conclude that you are not as good as Heymos. Imos’ conclusion. I think you should also understand, and you can also see how much he is better than you, so strong that you can never catch up with him—”

Earle, who had said a lot of words in one breath, paused and let out a sigh of relief.

He looked at Garlan deeply and said, “His Royal Highness, haven’t you ever thought about such a thing as’I hope there is no such thing as Huimos in this world’?”

There was silence in the room for a few seconds, and Garland glanced at Earl, who was staring straight at him waiting for an answer.

“Um.”

He nodded.

“I thought about it.”

He said,

“I once thought that if there were no such people as Huimos in this world, it would be fine.”

Even when he was a child, he had the idea of killing Huimos while he was seriously ill with a fever.

Gallan’s voice came out.

Hearing heard that Earl was going to see Garland, the hand that was about to open the door froze in the air at the moment when Heymos, who hurried over, heard these words.

[It would be great if there was no Heimos in this world]
