A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 44. Chapter 44

The bright sunlight is shining on the earth, the water in the lotus pond is crystal clear, and the light is more and more sparkling, the blooming lavender lotus is brewing a faint fragrance, lingering on the water.

The carved pattern on the gate surrounded by the arched arc column is embedded with gold filaments and gleams in the sun. The malachite carvings are hung on it, intertwined with the olive branches and leaves wrapped around the arched doorpost. .

Entering the golden arch, near the lotus pond, is a white jade statue of a gentle and beautiful woman. She looks down lovingly on the earth, holding the stars in her hand and wearing a moon crown on her head.

The star goddess Isdar, she gives people light in the dark and brings luck to the earth.

According to legend, the person whom she favors will have incomparable luck.

Inside the golden gate, graceful maids and attendants stood on both sides, bowing slightly to salute.

In the welcome of everyone, Prince Garland, who had been away from the palace for almost a month, finally returned to his residence again. He glanced at the people and showed a bright smile.

“During my absence, everyone has worked hard.”

The people who were praised by the prince bowed their heads to express their fear, but they were in a very good mood.

The great things the young prince had done in Venar City had already spread to the city, and everyone was amazed. As the servants of Prince Garland, they are all honored. No, I heard that the prince came back today, and he started busy early in the morning, so I must give the returning prince a warm feeling of going home.

An older female officer greeted her, knelt down in front of the little prince, looked at the little prince’s slightly thin cheeks, her eyes were full of distress.

“You are still young, how can King Camos let you do such a dangerous thing?”

There were complaints about King Camos in her words, and everyone held their breath and did not dare to speak. Here, only the elderly female officer dared to say such things.

She was the female official appointed by King Camos to manage the affairs of Garlan’s palace. She was previously responsible for managing King Camos’s palace affairs. She is a few years older than Wang, a childhood sweetheart who grew up together. Everyone thought that she would be included in the harem by the king, but when she grew up, neither King Camos nor she herself seemed to have this will.

However, no one dared to look down upon her because of this, because this female officer was deeply trusted by King Camos, and she knew that she could complain about King Camos casually.

Seeing the little prince who had been thinner, the distressed female officer said nothing, anxiously led Garlan away, leaving behind a bunch of maids and attendants staring at each other.

Then Garland was thrown into the bath and soaked for a good meal. After being picked up, he immediately covered his body with good essential oils for skin care and did a full body massage. While massaging, there was a gentle maid. His sister squatted aside and put the frozen fruit into his mouth.

In the end, the female officer gave him a vicious meal. It was too strong and her belly was swollen. The female officer let him go and sent him to the bedroom, asking him to rest well.

As a result, Garlan, who had relaxed his whole body, slept dimly. He didn’t know how long he had slept. He only felt that when he woke up, everyone had fallen asleep.

He lay on the bed with his limbs spread out for a while, looking at the sky through the skylight. It should be morning.

After thinking for a while, he got up and planned to take a stroll to the Lion Park.

After going out for such a long time, the little milk lion who likes to pester him to act like a baby doesn’t know what happened. Although it is usually annoying to be entangled by it, it has been so long since I haven’t seen it, so I still miss it.

The arrival of Prince Garland made almost all the maids who worked in the lion garden, especially the maids responsible for caring for the lion cubs, weep with joy.

God knows they are going to be tossed mad by the tantrum lion this month.

The first two days were okay. If the prince didn’t come, the little lion would get angry and refused to eat. It was useless for them to coax them.

After another few days, I was probably very hungry, and the little lion started to eat by himself. The maids just realized that it was even worse when they breathed a sigh of relief. From then on, the full cubs began to run away every day, no matter how they were prepared, they always slipped out when they didn’t pay attention, and ran all over the palace, terrifying many people.

They searched everywhere, but they couldn’t find it. They were too angry and tired.

Fortunately, the little lion would come back by himself at night, but every time he came back, he was listless, and looked pitiful, making the maids who were still very angry look a little bit unbearable.

They all guessed vaguely that the little lion was probably looking for the little prince everywhere.

This kind of speculation made them feel distressed and wrong, and they could only let the little lion toss like this for a whole month.

On this day, as usual, the little lion was sitting on the ground and was eating big mouthfuls. It has been weaned a long time ago, its hair is thicker, and its teeth and claws are sharper.

The maid was watching it eat. Nega was always eating quickly, gobbled it down, and would never stop until he finished it, but it stopped after eating half of it this time.

The round ears suddenly stood up from the hair and trembled as if they had heard something.

Then, the maid was surprised to see that little Nega left half of the food and ran to the door quickly with her short legs.

But after running for a few steps, it stopped again for some reason, then it dropped its head and ran to a corner of the greenhouse facing the door, with its back facing the door, and squatted there and shrank into a ball motionless.

maid:”???”

Just when the maid couldn’t figure out the situation, a voice came from outside the door, the door of the greenhouse was pushed open, and a child with bright blond hair came in.

The maid looked at it and knelt down in a panic.

“King, prince!”

Gallan nodded, motioned to her to get up, and then looked around and saw the little lion squatting in the corner.

The little fluffy body squatted there, shrunk into a ball of fur, turned his back to him, motionless.

The female officer in charge of this place was taken aback, as if thinking of something, she couldn’t help but laugh.

Then she walked over, squatted next to the little lion, and coaxed softly.

“Nega, your favorite prince is here~”

The little lion still squatted in the corner, with his back to the crowd, motionless.

At first glance, I knew I was having a temper.

The female officer smiled and looked up at Garlan.

Galan raised his foot and walked towards the little lion. It was obvious that the others didn’t respond to any coaxing, but as soon as Galan walked over, the little lion seemed to be able to hear his footsteps, and his round ears moved. .

Garlan knelt down, stretched out his hand, and poked Nejana’s fluffy little head.

“Nega, I’m here to play with you.”

The little hair ball that had been poked in the head moved a bit, as if about to turn around, but finally held back.

Coax me, you must coax me well, if you don’t coax me well, I will continue to be angry.

The little hairball still facing Garlan exudes such an aura.

“Don’t you want to play with me?”

Do not move.

“Look, there is your favorite jerky~”

Don’t move.

“I have left you for so long. I was wrong. Don’t be angry, OK?”

Humph, ignore you.

“Nega, good~ I will play with you every day, OK?”

Something moved… No, hold back!

I’m not so easy to coax me, huh!

Garlan coaxed for a long time, and the little Nega was pointing at him with her chubby butt, her face motionless towards the wall.

Ah, the little guy has such a big temper.

Gallan scratched his head, really didn’t know what to do.

When he was in distress, he suddenly heard a moan next to him, and turned his head subconsciously, and saw a brown-haired lion cub that looked like Nega but was a little smaller standing not far away, tilting his head, black bean Like little eyes looked at him curiously.

The cute little appearance made Garlan smile, beckoned, and motioned for the little lion to come over.

The little lion looked at Garlan, then at Garlan’s outstretched hand, stepped on his short legs, and ran towards Garlan.

Just when the one-sized little hairball was about to roll into Gallan’s hands, suddenly a shadow rushed over and knocked the little lion out.

The lion cub was hit on the ground and rolled in a circle before he stood firm, stood up blindfolded, and saw his eldest brother standing opposite him.

Little Nega rushed over from the corner of the wall for some time. At this moment, it was blocking Garlan’s face, its hair exploded, and it opened its mouth at the other little lion, revealing its sharp teeth.

Ouch——!

With a loud roar, the sound made Garlan and the maid next to him cover their ears.

The little Nega who made this roar was full of anger, staring fiercely at his little brother who was trying to hook up with someone he liked, and didn’t know how his little body roared so loudly.

At this moment, he stood majesticly in front of Garlan, angry, like a beast defending his territory.

After intimidating his brother, little Nega turned around.

Sit on the ground, tilted his head, and whimpered at Garlan.

This time the wailing sound lost a bit of the prestige, but rather soft, with accusations, it sounded pitiful. Dou’s small eyes looked at Garlan, looking aggrieved.

The little appearance made the maids next to them laugh out loud.

Garlan smiled and hugged the little lion, reached out his hand and nodded its little head.

The little lion stared at him, stretched out his tongue and licked his fingers. While licking, he made a groaning sound, and held his fingers in his hands, acting like a spoiler.

Ooo~~

Oooooooo~~

…………

……………………

Gallan, who had brought the little Nega back to his palace, was lying on the bed, playing with the little lion, when someone suddenly announced that someone was begging to see him.

Garlan put down the little lion, walked into the hall, and saw a burly and tall young man walk in.

The young man wore a strong outfit, a cyan shirt, a black waistband wrapped around his waist, slightly tight black trousers underneath, and black and cyan boots almost wrapped up most of his calf.

There was a short black shawl around his shoulders that only reached his back. He had blond hair, which was different from Gallan’s pale blond hair, but a darker golden color, slightly longer, tied in a bunch behind him.

When Garland looked at him suspiciously, the young man raised his head. Under his blond hair was a handsome face with high nose and deep eyes. It was a pity that only one of his eyes was exposed, and the other was covered by a black blindfold. Living.

Seeing that one eye, Gallan was startled, the memory in his mind flashed, and he immediately remembered.

“Ah, you are…”

While talking, he walked quickly to the person and looked up at him.

The one-eyed youth smiled at him, then leaned over and knelt in front of him on one knee.

“His Royal Highness Prince.”

Garlan looked at the eye that was blocked by the black blindfold, and didn’t know what to say for a while.

The young knight knelt in front of him, looking straight with him, his face very close to him. He could clearly see the remaining eye of the knight, which was beautiful aquamarine like malachite. He could imagine how heroic and handsome this knight with blond eyes would be when that eye was not hurt, so that all admirers could not look away.

“you……”

Gallan opened his mouth and made a little noise, but he didn’t know what to say, so he could only stop.

Then the young knight smiled at Garlan.

He said, “Prince, my eyes don’t hurt anymore.”

He was answering the words the little prince asked in that dangerous place that night.

At that time, the little prince asked him, [Does it hurt? 】

At that time, he could not answer, so he answered now.

He looked at the little prince in front of him and said softly, “I am Kaihuos, Your Highness, from today onwards, I will be your guardian.”

Guardian…what…hey? and many more.

Kay, Kay what?

…

Kaijos? !

Gallan’s eyes opened up suddenly.

This person is Kaijos who will be called the “Knight of the Sun” in the future? !

Garlan was stunned.

Kaihus, even if he has been in the palace for several lifetimes, he has heard of it.

Everyone on the earth extolled the “Knight of the Scorching Sun” or “The Knight of the Sun”, saying that he had a beautiful and sunny appearance like the sun god Shamash, which made countless noble ladies and even princesses moved. ‘, even possessing the’wuyong that the god of war also praised’, is’the powerful knight second only to the lion king in the world’.

At a young age, he became the riding commander of Aaron Landis commanding tens of thousands of knights, and won the trust and appreciation of King Camos.

It is said that he was appreciated by King Camos on a battlefield to suppress a large-scale domestic rebellion, and was promoted to the commander of a hundred horses. Then he followed King Camos to the north and south and made countless achievements, and became a commander of thousands of horses. handsome.

Wait, suppress the rebellion?

Could it be the refugee riot this time?

Garlan looked at the future riding commander who was kneeling in front of him, and his mood was really complicated.

You know, in the entire Aaron Landis, there are no more than five cavalry commanders who can command tens of thousands of cavalry with military exploits. They are all brave and famous.

He remembered that no matter what life, this’knight of the sun’ never participated in the battle between him and Huimos for the throne, but stayed away from the two of them and followed King Kamos all the time.

Um? What did he just say?

…Become my guardian?

No, no, it’s not right, it’s not right at all!

“No, no, Kehos, you are a knight on the battlefield.”

It is still a powerful knight who will become a riding commander in the future, who can let the whole earth know your martial arts name.

When Gallan thought of this, he couldn’t help but persuade.

“You should stay on the battlefield. It is too wasteful to follow me.”

Especially the position of my prince may be long.

Even if I continue to be this prince, if you are killed by Huimos with me in the future, Aaron Landis will lose an outstanding knight.

No matter how you think about this decision, it’s a very loss-

“If it’s the order of Brother Wang, then I’ll go and convince him, Kaihuos, that making contributions on the battlefield is what you should do as a soldier.”

The blond knight looked at the little prince who looked like he was trying to persuade him with an expression of’I am doing good for you’. He thought for a while, lowered his head, his expression was a little disappointed.

“Because I lost an eye?”

“what?”

Kaihus lowered his head, with a lonely face on his face. Even if he loses one eye, the young knight’s face is so handsome that people can’t look away.

Coupled with the melancholy in the handsomeness, I’m afraid it will be easier to get a woman’s love.

“You think…a useless person like me is not qualified to be your guardian, do you?”

“No, that’s not the case! You misunderstood.”

I really just think it’s too wasteful for you to follow me!

“I lost an eye, so King Camos told me to leave the guards. Now, the prince, do you think I’m useless?”

“Wait… that’s actually…”

“I understand. If you despise the prince as a useless person like me, I will leave.”

After speaking, Kaihus stood up resolutely, planning to leave.

“Huh? Wait, wait a minute!”

Garlan grabbed the hand of Kehos who was about to leave.

He thought for a while with a tangled expression on his face, then glanced at Kaihus, who was determined to have a strong self-esteem, and then reluctantly nodded his little head.

He said: “Well, I accept you as my guardian.”

“Yes, Kaihus obeys your will.”

As soon as Gallan’s words fell, the knight who was about to leave sadly the moment before knelt down, and took it as if he was afraid that Gallan would repent.

The handsome face gave the little prince a bright smile like the sun.

Garland: “…”

Ah, forgot.

This is the complete description of the “Knight of the Sun” extolled by the world.

‘He has the appearance of beautiful sunshine like the sun god Shamash, but inside he possesses the cunning heart like the god of darkness. ‘

Simply put, it is black when cut.

…

“Prince Garland.”

Holding the small hand with his backhand that he was holding on to forcefully just now, Kehos, who will be called the “Knight of the Sun,” knelt in front of Prince Garland on one knee.

He held the hands of the little prince in both hands.

He still remembers that this hand stroked the softness and warmth of his blood-stained face on that icy night.

He lowered his head, his lips falling on the little hand.

He closed his eyes, his face was more solemn than anything at this moment.

“I swear to the gods of Aaron Landis, I swear to Shamash, the God of Judgment, I swear to my glory and soul–”

“From now on, I will be your guardian knight.”

“I will guard you until I die.”
