A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 21. Chapter 21

“The night before…”

Garlan was holding Little Nega sitting next to King Camos, teasing the little milk lion with a half-baked piece of meat, when suddenly he heard Camos ask him.

“Did you sleep well?”

King Camos asked him so.

Gallan’s heart tightened suddenly.

The night before, it was when he secretly ran to find Hiemos, tossing about it before sneaking back in the middle of the night.

Why did King Camos suddenly ask about this? Does he know what?

While thinking nervously, Garlan raised his head with an innocent expression on his face.

“what?”

He tilted his head, and looked at Camos with a look of’Brother Wang, what are you saying I don’t understand’.

The little expression made King Camos laugh, and he raised his hand and rubbed his head.

“It’s nothing, I saw you were a little awkward on Dayi yesterday, as if you didn’t sleep well.” He smiled and said, “Why? Did you suddenly change the place so you couldn’t sleep well?”

It turned out to be this.

Gallan breathed a sigh of relief.

Yes, he was really sleepy in the ceremony yesterday. After all, he spent most of the night at Huimos the night before, and didn’t sleep long when he went back, because he was called by the maid early in the morning to prepare for the ceremony. Woke up.

“Well, it’s a little bit, but it was much better last night.” Looking up at King Kamos with a smile, Gallan said, “It’s okay, Brother Wang, I will get used to it soon. ”

“Oh, all right.”

King Camos said, rubbing that fluffy little head again, and then returned to his political affairs.

After a while, seeing that it was about to pass by noon, Garlan stood up holding the lion cub.

Although Little Nega can already gnaw on the meat, after all, it is not full moon yet, and it has not been weaned. This is the time when it is breastfeeding, so Gallan wants to send it back to the warm room.

When he got to the greenhouse, he put the little milk lion on the ground and turned to leave.

The little lion groaned, grabbed his shoes, and refused to let him go.

Gallan pointed to his little brothers and sisters who were already licking in the milk-white milk basin, and said, “If you don’t go, there will be no more.”

The little lion dangled Gallan’s shoelaces, and stared at the milk that was already wafting with its small eyes, shook his head, looked at the milk tray, and looked at Gallan. The lion looked tangled. no.

The tangled little expression made Garlan couldn’t help but laugh, and knelt down and nodded its little head.

“Hurry up and drink, I’ll come to see you for fun tomorrow.”

As if he understood what Gallan said, little Nega wailed, loosened the straps of Gallan’s shoes, stepped on his four short legs, ran towards the milk basin, and then drank gulps. Apparently, he was afraid that his bunch of brothers and sisters would drink his own, and then grab it again-anyway, it does this often.

Seeing Nega concentrated on drinking milk, Garlan quickly took the opportunity to go out.

He stood outside the greenhouse, looked up at the sky, and thought for a while, instead of going back to Camos, he walked in the other direction. Of course, the attendants who wanted to follow him were also driven back by him and were not allowed to follow.

When he ran to the room he had visited the night before, he saw several guards guarding the door. It seemed that these people would still pretend to be more or less during the day.

Probably thanks to his appearance on the big ceremony yesterday, the guards obviously knew him. They were a little lazy when they saw Gallan, and they straightened up a little nervously, bowed and bowed their heads to Gallan. salute.

Gallan entered the door easily, no one stopped him at all.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the familiar figure of Huimos sitting at a stone table under a big tree in the small courtyard.

When the child ran in, the teenager who was eating raised his eyes, glanced at the small figure from the corner of his eye, then lowered his eyes and continued to eat slowly.

That expression, as if not seeing the other party at all.

Garlan stepped on the bluestone road and ran over, and then unceremoniously climbed to the stone table-yes, it was climbing, he was too short, the stone table was on his shoulders, and he could only climb with both hands. On the top, two short legs kicked a few times underneath, and then he climbed up and sat down.

Hiemos sat there, and continued to tear off a piece of bread slowly, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly, as if he hadn’t seen Garlan’s movements.

It’s just that although he didn’t change his face, the light from the corner of his eye could not help but float towards the child.

Seeing the cute little kid trying to climb up, he felt a little itchy inexplicably, it took a lot of effort to resist the urge to get up and pick the kid up and put it on the table.

…Although he didn’t know why Garlan didn’t sit on the stone bench and had to climb up the table.

Because Garland, who wanted to talk to Huimos, thought, sitting on a stool is a bit shorter than Huimos, and sitting on a table is a bit taller than Huimos, so that he won’t be affected by the conversation. Imos’s momentum was overwhelming.

The table was quite big anyway, and he was sitting only about a quarter of it.

Garlan, who climbed up and sat cross-legged on the table, glanced casually. On the table were ordinary foods such as bread, grilled meat, and porridge. For Gallan, who followed King Camos every day to eat the royal food feast, these foods were a bit rudimentary.

However, he was not so kind to improve the food for his mortal enemy.

Is it more convenient to kill a mortal enemy by raising him tall and strong?

While thinking about this, he took out a white pill the size of his thumb from his arms, pinched it with his fingers, and raised it to Huimos with a grin.

“what is this?”

The boy glanced at it, and continued to tear off a piece of barbecue with his hand and put it in his mouth to chew.

“Poison|Pill.” Gallan said to Heimos in a provocative tone, “What? Do you dare to eat it?”

In fact, it is a good pill, a special medicine for treating bruises and internal congestion. The doctor gave him two pills and told him to take them for two days. He thought about Heimos’s seemingly terrible injury. He wanted to ask for another one, but he heard from the doctor that this pill was very precious and rare. Before, he was only given to King Camos to use them alone. It was King Camos who had licensed it for him, and Gallan dispelled the idea.

This one was because he secretly saved his weight today. After all, in all fairness, he was actually okay, and Heimos’ injury was much worse than him.

However, even though he brought it here, he was still a bit unwilling to give it directly to his mortal enemy.

So when Hiemos asked, on a whim, he deliberately said it was a poison|pill, intending to scare the other person. When Hiemos changed his face, he could laugh at Hiemos unceremoniously.

After the laughter was over, he mercifully gave him the pill again.

Um.

Very good, that’s it.

While Gallan was still filling Heimos’ disgraceful appearance in various brains, the boy who had been sitting there suddenly got up and moved towards him.

Then, as soon as Huimos bends over, leaned over, and lowered his head, the delicate black hair fell on Garland’s fingers.

One of the thin lips of the boy contained Garlan’s finger in it.

Roll the tip of the tongue and roll the round pill into the mouth.

Swallowing in his throat, he just took Gallan’s hand and swallowed the pill into his throat.

After suddenly swallowing the pill in one bite, Hiemos straightened up, his understatement looked like he had just done an ordinary thing, and by the way, he raised his hand and patted the stunned Gallan. Head, carrying the plate that had been eaten, turned around and went out.

Everything happened so quickly, it probably only took a second from when Hiimos got up to swallow the pill in one mouthful.

Garland, who was startled by the sudden behavior of Huimos, stared at Huimos blankly, until the back of the opponent disappeared from his sight, and he finally reacted.

He jumped off the table abruptly, shaking his hands vigorously with a frowning expression on his face.

Ahhhhhhh! saliva–

I got that guy’s saliva on my fingers!

Huimos, don’t you even hug someone’s finger directly, isn’t it dirty?

…………

Garland, who wanted to show Hoymos but was slapped by the other side, slipped back with a gloomy look, but when he reached the gate, he saw King Camos, who was sitting there dealing with government affairs, rushing at him. wave.

So the child became even more depressed.

He blinked, and while thinking about how to flicker the question from Brother Wang, he ran over with a very obedient expression on me.

He stood in front of Camos, looking up at Camos with a cunning face.

However, King Camos didn’t seem to ask him where he was just now. He just looked down at him, raised his eyebrows, and spoke.

Camos said, “Open your mouth.”

“what?”

Gallan uttered an ah, not knowing what King Camos wanted to do, but he opened his mouth obediently.

As soon as his mouth opened, King Camos raised his hand and threw a small white pill into his mouth. Unsuspecting Gallan subconsciously swallowed it.

When he reacted, he felt miserable.

Because the little pill he swallowed just now is so familiar, really familiar…

Seeing Garlan swallowed it, Camos showed a satisfied look.

“From now on, just ask for what you want. Remember, you are my king brother, the prince of Aaron Landis. You can do whatever you want—but you have to eat it yourself, you have to eat it, understand? ?”

He said, raising his hand and patted Gallan on the head.

“Okay, go and rest.”

Gallan didn’t dare to deny King Camos’s words, and nodded obediently.

He vaguely felt that King Camos knew everything about what happened in this palace. Those things he thought he did secretly and others didn’t know, in fact, King Camos saw everything in his eyes, but didn’t care, so he let him go and didn’t expose him.

After he saved his medicine to Huimos this time, King Camos made it clear and told him that he could do anything he wanted, but only if he did not harm him.

After leaving King Camos, Garlan went to the side hall to sleep.

After all, this body is still a child, and it is easy to get sleepy. It is necessary to go to a nap every day, otherwise it will be listless all afternoon.

He stretched his limbs to the soft bed, before he could count sixty sheep, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

…

what is that……

…Black water…………

It’s so bright, the sun is too bright, so people can’t open their eyes… the red sun…

A lot of people… screaming, messy, so noisy, the eardrums are about to be shattered…

A lot of people are yelling, yelling so annoying…

Huh?

Red fire?

The fiery red light is not sunlight.

It’s the flame.

Crimson flames.

Ahhhhh… the flame is burning, burning up!

from where? What are you burning? This scorching stench…

…

…………It is human.

It’s a human! ! !

The child who was awakened by the nightmare suddenly turned over and sat up, panting with open mouth, cold sweat on his forehead.

what is that?

What did he dream of?

He dreamed–no, he saw it, in that very real dream, he saw it with his own eyes–

The person surrounded by flames…

The whole body was ignited and scorched by the fire, and the whole body was swallowed by the flame, exuding the stench of burnt flesh, the young man who was struggling in the flame…

… Is it Hiemos? ! ! !
