A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 183. Chapter 183

In the morning, the bright sun shines on the earth.

In the depths of the palace, in the courtyard of the womb of the prince’s womb, a large young man was standing there, looking like a stubborn head.

“My elder brother, I don’t want to leave.”

Xinyas lowered his head, dejected.

He said dullly, “You are still injured, I have to stay here to protect you.”

It has been more than half a month since Xinyas left Irmia City. As the lord of the city, he has been in the city for too long. In fact, he had to go back a few days ago, just because Xinyas was worried about being injured. Gallan, reluctant to leave, it only took a few more days.

The priest who assisted him was really nothing. In the end, he could only tell Xiemur, and Xiemur naturally ordered directly to force Xinyas to leave for Irmia the next day.

Therefore, Xinyas, who received the ultimatum, pitifully ran to Gallan to complain before he left, allowing his subordinates to wait outside, and he just refused to leave.

“Xinyas, you have protected me, at that time.”

“But, in case there will be—”

“I am the elder brother, and once in a while, it’s okay, but let my brother protect me every time. As a elder brother, I’m too useless, isn’t it?”

Gallan touched the big dog with ears pulling in front of him and coaxed him.

“I would be ashamed to be seen by others.”

Xinyas thought for a while, and felt that the elder brother was right, but somehow felt something was wrong.

Moreover, he knew in his heart that Master Ximuer had said that it was impossible for him to continue to linger, so he was actually reluctant to part with Garlan, and before leaving, he ran to act like a baby and let the elder brother touch his head.

He raised his eyes and fixed his eyes on the brother in front of him.

Gallan’s hand stroked his cheek, the warmth of the fingers seeping into his skin.

[Xinyas, you have to grow up quickly. When you grow up, you have to protect me and protect your mother. 】

He still remembered that when he was very young, the mother who always kept herself within her sight repeated these words to him again and again.

At that time, he was still very young and weak, but he couldn’t feel any warmth from the mother who always said that he loved him the most.

His mother’s so-called’love’ made him almost breathless.

Later, he understood that his mother’s “love” for him was to get enough return from him.

When his elder brother left, he was still very young and didn’t have much memory of his elder brother.

He only sometimes heard the existence of his brother who had gone to the royal city from the discussion of his servants, and he remembered it in his heart.

Therefore, he was almost suffocated by his mother’s control, and for the first time that day, he violated his mother’s will and ran to find his brother.

Whether it is the elder brother’s gaze looking at him or the hand touching his head, it is so warm and reluctant.

…………

Later, with the help of those sent by his elder brother, he finally got rid of his mother’s control and ended his life like being trapped.

And the elder brother who rescued him from the suffering became a god-like existence in his heart.

In fact, after coming to the King City, someone once inadvertently mentioned to him that he now worships and relies on his elder brother so much because the people sent by his elder brother have forcibly instilled loyalty to him over the years. It was caused by brainwashing.

His elder brother took care of him in order to get enough money from him when he grows up-just like his mother at the time.

[I am your brother, I can’t always let my brother protect me. 】

it’s not true.

Xinyas knew he was not smart, but he knew very well that the truth was definitely not what those people said.

Whether it was the Shamash priest who taught him or the old lady who took care of him, he had always served him earnestly, and never said that he should be loyal to his brother.

His brother sheltered him, but did not ask him for anything in return.

The priest said that his brother had only one requirement of him, to be an excellent city lord and protect his people.

In fact, instead, he often asked them about his elder brother’s things, and pestered them to say more, so that he could hear the elder brother’s thing from them.

His brother is very powerful.

Every time I heard those rumors about my brother, Xinyas thought proudly.

His elder brother is someone who does very powerful things, so when he grows up, he must also help his elder brother.

At that time, the priest said that he was still young and that if he contacted his elder brother, it would cause trouble to his elder brother.

So in these years, he has been patience not to contact his elder brother.

He waited honestly, waiting for himself to grow up, and when he was strong enough, let himself become the help of his brother.

“My elder brother.”

Under the sun, Xinyas stared at his brother.

“I have grown up, I have been strong enough, and now, I have been able to protect myself and also protect you.”

The boy said that his face was more serious than anything at this moment.

“Please remember, whenever I am, I will be waiting in the city of Irmia.”

He said,

“As long as you call, I will come for you.”

…………

……………………

“That Xinyas has left?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Stepping on the seated stone platform, leaning diagonally on the soft pillow, King Camos, who paid no attention to the so-called demeanor, threw a roll of parchment to Xiemur.

Xiemu’er caught it skillfully, then opened it and flipped through it.

“Do you know that the child is born with supernatural power?”

“Yes, the priest Shamash, who was sent by the prince to teach Lord Sinyas, reported this to me. I asked him not to disclose it to the outside world.”

“Well, you did it right.”

King Camos said, “With the power of that little devil, he will definitely become a fierce general in the future. Maybe his brain is not enough, but if he only charges as a fierce general, almost no one can beat him.”

“It seems that he should be able to help Garlan in the future.”

He pondered for a moment, then spoke again.

“What happened to what I told you to tell Kayjos?”

“Kyjos has agreed.”

“Very good, then you start to prepare.”

“The riding commander of the Third Army is old, and the pain caused by the long-term battle has been recurring. It is only because the riding commander of the Commander Army is not enough, no one has taken his position, so he has been supporting his Majesty in the past few years. .”

“Novi…Yes, he is over fifty.”

Camos has a look of emotion on his face.

“Dedicating his life for Aaron Landis, it is time for him to take a good rest and pension with honor. Have you asked him what he meant?”

For those veterans who have done their best for Aaron Landis, King Camos is extremely respectful.

Novi has fought for him and his father for many years, and suffered a lot of pain. Now that he has to decide Novi’s successor, King Camos naturally seeks Novi’s opinion.

“Your Excellency Novi has always admired Kaijos. He has mentioned to me several times that he hopes that Kaijos can enter the Third Army to assist him.”

The so-called corps commander’s assistant is actually the person who the corps commander wants to train to take over the position of his commander in chief.

“He said he would support Kejos as the commander of the Third Army.”

King Camos showed a satisfied look.

“Then I’ll give an order later, let Kehos enter the Third Army first, and be Novi’s assistant.”

Let the veteran Novi lead Cayjos to get acquainted with the Third Army, and after one or two battles, let Cayjos take over the position of Novi’s commander-in-chief.

When Novi retires, he will surely give him a generous reward.

“It’s winter, and Geshu generally doesn’t move troops at this time, but when the winter is over, they run out of food, and they will surely attack our country again when the spring starts.”

Xiemuer said,

“Your Majesty, since His Royal Highness Gallan has become the crown prince, then he must also start to build his own merits.”

In Aaron Landis, all the princes of all generations must gain merit on the battlefield, otherwise they will be considered by everyone to be ineligible to ascend to the throne.

The more merits established, the more recognized Aaron Landis’ subjects, especially the army.

King Camos nodded solemnly.

“In the spring of the coming year, I will take Garlan to the battlefield.”

Garlan is different from the battle-tested Heimos. Under his protection, except for the accident in Tozes City, he has almost never experienced war.

He had to take Garlan to the battlefield personally and watch him by his side to be relieved.

“Then, we must prepare early.”

Xiemuer said.

Aaron Landis’s winter is very short, only two months.

In other words, two months later, His Royal Highness Gallan had to go to the battlefield for the first time.

In these two months, he must prepare as much as possible, especially when there are some people behind who intend to murder the crown prince. He must find those people out as soon as possible, otherwise, after the crown prince goes to the battlefield, those people will be It’s troublesome to play tricks in the rear.

Just as Xiemuer was thinking about these things, King Camos didn’t know what he was trying to fiddle with, suddenly he flipped out a picture scroll, shuddered, and unfolded the picture scroll in front of Xiemuer.

“Xiemuer, do you think this girl looks good?”

“what?”

As soon as Xie Muer looked up, he saw the oil painting that King Camos held in front of him.

The picture scroll shows a young and beautiful girl with a beautiful slightly curly blond hair, draped over her slender shoulders.

The girl in the painting sits quietly on a chair, hands slightly clasped in front of her, the hem of the light blue dress is spread out, and the soft fabric outlines her slender legs.

She has beautiful eyes like blue sapphires in the sky, her face is gentle, her posture is demure, and the corners of her petal-like lips are slightly smiling with a slight smile.

Her skin is warm and smooth, glowing like honey.

“Who is this……”

“A while ago, the envoys of the Kanal Kingdom participated in the coronation ceremony of the crown prince of Garlan, they came to see me and sent this portrait.”

Xiemuer pondered for a moment, and said: “King Fenoya of Kanal has two sons and a daughter. This princess should be nineteen years old.”

He glanced at the gentle girl in the portrait again.

“King Fenoah asked the messenger to send the portrait of the princess, did he intend to marry him?”

“It should mean that.”

Sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, King Camos rolled up the portrait, rolled it up indiscriminately, and threw it on the side table.

Aaron Landis and Kanal have always been diplomatic and friendly countries, and sometimes the royal family will get married. For example, the grandmother of King Camos is the prince and sister of Kanal from the time.

“It seems that King Fenoah has long been thinking about marrying our country, so he has never married his daughter.”

Generally speaking, royal girls will enter into a marriage contract before they reach the age of eighteen, but the princess of Kanal is almost twenty. It is obvious that King Finoah has been waiting for King Kamos to establish a king. The prince, then propose the marriage.

You know, the princess of Kanal is known for her beauty, and her suitors have been in an endless stream, but they were all rejected by King Finoah.

“Indeed, if you marry the princess of Kanal, it will be of great help to His Royal Highness Gallan. After all, this is equivalent to having the Royal Kanal family as your patron. Your Majesty, what do you plan to do?”

King Camos stroked his chin.

“Although this is very beneficial to Gallan, this reason is of no use to Gallan, right?”

The priest of Shamash didn’t say a word. Without even thinking about it, he could guess that Prince Gallan would never use his marriage as a bargaining chip to gain profit.

“In half a month, Garlan’s injury should almost be healed. I plan to send Garlan to the kingdom of Kanal in half a month, so that Garlan and the Princess of Kanal can see each other. , Maybe Garland would like her?”

Xie Muer squinted at him coldly.

“If the prince doesn’t like it, you will reject King Fenoah, right?”

“…”

The Lion King, who dotes on his own brother, did not say a word, his eyes shifted, but the expression was obviously tacitly acquiesced.

The priest of Shamash said blankly: “If that is the case, without prejudice to the relations between the two countries, what kind of reason do you plan to use to reject King Fenoah?”

“…”

King Camos continued his gaze drifting.

“I see.”

Xiemuer said, “In order to maintain the friendly diplomatic relations between the two countries, when the time comes, please marry the princess instead of His Royal Highness Gallan.”

“Huh? Wait, Sheemur, this is a bit…”

“That’s it, Your Majesty.”

“Xiemuer–”

……………………

Aaron Landis is Geshur to the north, and Iss to the east. He has been at war with these two countries for a long time, and the war has almost never stopped.

In the crisis of subjugation many years ago, these two countries joined forces with many small countries to form a coalition force, trying to destroy Aaron Landis in one fell swoop.

In the West, Kanal is a friend of Aaron Landis, and the royal families of the two countries have been friendly for generations.

In that critical war, it gave Aaron Landis a lot of help, and provided Aaron Landis with a lot of food and armaments at a very low price.

King Finoah of Canal has reached middle age and reigned for more than ten years. He has two sons and a daughter under his knees.

The eldest son was established as the crown prince shortly after Fenoa ascended the throne, and he began to assist King Fenoa in governing the country a few years ago.

On this day, he was flipping through the documents proficiently, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw a smile on the face of his father, who was reading the slate letter in his hand.

That was a letter sent by King Camos of Aaron Landis.

The letter itself is a slate baked with special white clay, and the outside is also wrapped with a layer of ceramic with a special imprint. Only by breaking the ceramic can the letter on the slate inside be taken out, so as to ensure that no one will peek at the letter. .

Communication between Wang and Wang usually adopts this confidential method.

King Finoah was obviously in a good mood. He smiled and said: “King Camos is about to send the crown prince to our country.”

“It’s the Prince Aaron Landis who was erected not long ago?”

“Um.”

King Fenoah touched his beard.

“Go tell your sister and let her prepare in advance.”

“Father, are you planning to…?”

King Fenoah nodded.

“Yes, I plan to marry your sister to the crown prince of Aaron Landis.”
