A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 49
Countless high pillars propped up the arched roof, and the spacious school hall was bathed in bright sunlight as usual. The wind blowing from the large lotus pond on one side, with the fragrance of lotus, passed over the open hall on all sides.
On the soft blanket spread on the ground, a group of teenagers sat cross-legged, and a middle-aged scholar was handing out examination papers of parchment paper to the hands of each teenager. Most of the grades on the scroll were top grade.
After everyone received their own papers, they didn’t read them immediately. Instead, they rolled up the parchment in their hands to cover up the results, and then secretly cast their eyes on the other side.
On the other side of the special cushion, the blond little prince sat cross-legged, his head up, a pair of big amber jewel-like eyes looking at a certain priest standing in front of him.
The priest of Shamash stood there with a piece of parchment in his hand, which seemed to be Garlan’s examination paper. However, instead of giving Garlan the test paper immediately, he frowned and stared at Garlan as if thinking about something.
The awe-inspiring and stern gaze made the teenagers who were just on the sidelines look frightened, and the nearest little fat man was even more nervous. For a while, he looked at the frowning Xiemur with a scared look, and used it for a while. He looked at Garlan worriedly.
Could it be that His Royal Highness Gallan’s performance this time is the worst in history?
So Master Xiemuer showed such a stern expression?
Everyone thought so nervously. For a while, the school hall was silent, and the teenagers waited for the next storm with fear.
The only child who was in the center of the storm that was about to break out had no nervous expression at all, as if he didn’t feel the nervous atmosphere at all. He raised his head, his big eyes blinked and looked at his stern face. Sheemur.
The priest of Shamash stared at the blond little prince for a long time, and then passed the examination paper in his hand.
Gallan took it and opened it in public indifferently.
Everyone took a breath of air, and saw that the grade on the paper turned out to be a’medium’.
Did Prince Garland pass?
His exam paper actually passed-the grid -? !
Almost everyone couldn’t believe their eyes. After all, in the weekly test for more than two months, Gallan’s test results were always inferior, that is, he failed.
Every week today, the priest Shemur would reprimand Gallan mercilessly-so they were all prepared to get angry with the priest today.
…
But, wait a minute, since His Royal Highness Gallan has rarely passed the pass, why did Master Ximuer’s face look more ugly than before?
The teenagers looked at each other for a while.
But the little fat Tarr was heartless, didn’t think so much at all. Seeing that Gallan’s grades were the same as his own, he immediately cheered.
“His Royal Highness, we are the same, we are the same!”
He leaned over with joy and showed his paper to Garlan. Seeing the prince’s curling surface exactly the same grade as himself, the little fat man was very happy.
“Look, we are all medium–”
All teenagers: “…”
What is the point of Prince Garlan’s fancy to this stupid fat man who can only flatter?
They thought very hard to understand.
And it is absolutely impossible for them to guess that Gallan chose Tal as a companion at the time because this product is the worst of all…
Hearing Taer’s cheers, Xiemur’s face became even more ugly.
He looked down at Garlan and said: “His Royal Highness, knowledge can be learned slowly, we still have a long time, but…”
He paused, his eyes getting more severe.
“This is the hall of learning, the place where Solga’s gaze is watching. Under Solga’s gaze, fraud is absolutely not allowed!”
In the land of Aaron Landis, when every newborn is baptized, others will bless him-“May the light of Shamash bathe him forever, and may Solga give him wisdom. ‘
Solga, the god of the sky, is in charge of all knowledge in the world, the god of wisdom, and the god of learning.
It is said that his wise gaze is always watching every school hall on the earth, and the students who falsify in the school hall will be severely punished by him.
Garlan tilted her head and looked up at Sheemur with her head up.
“You mean I cheated?”
He rolled his eyes dribblingly, “Well, let’s do it, Xiemer, you can test me directly here, if I get all the answers right, can it prove that I didn’t cheat?”
Seeing Gallan’s determined tone, Xie Muer’s face eased.
But the next second, his face turned black again.
Because Gallan said: “You know, I never cared about the results.”
The child smiled and said, “So why should I cheat for something that I don’t care about?”
It was so reasonable that the priest Xiemuer was speechless.
The teenagers on the side looked at Sheemur, who was so speechless and unable to lose his temper because of Garlan’s words. While admiring Garlan, he thought so silently in his heart. NS.
Glancing at the grinning child, the expressionless adult priest raised his hand and patted off the dust that had just fallen on the sleeve of his shirt.
“It’s just a passing grade, so it’s too early to be proud and complacent.” He said coldly, “When will you get the grades of Prince Huimos, it’s not too late to be proud.”
If it is an ordinary child who has finally achieved a little achievement, he will be faintly beaten by Xiemur so coldly.
However, Gallan was not an ordinary child, he blinked without showing any discouragement.
To be honest, it is very easy for him to get an excellent grade for this level of examination paper.
Just considering that it was too strange to suddenly rush from inferior class to top class like riding on a rocket, so he considered it and got a passing grade.
I will slowly improve in the future.
After all, he used to hide his clumsiness in order to let Xiemur persuade King Camos to abolish his brother, but now it seems that Xiemur has determined that he has other qualifications and is just lazy, so he is full of energy. He urged him to study every day, and it seemed that he had to grind his stubborn stone into beautiful jade.
Since this approach is useless, Gallan felt that he should give up this way of pretending to be stupid.
What’s more, he used to face Xiemur like this on purpose. He pretended to be a ignorant kid who wanted to embarrass Xiemur in this way, and deliberately let go to Qiximul… Now that I think about it, his approach is simply It’s like a naive child, saying that he is going to deal with an annoying adult, but deep in my heart, I vaguely want to use this method to get the attention of the’annoying person’…
It turns out that the importance of this person who is like a master to him as a father has never disappeared in his heart.
“Um.”
Garlan sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, tilted her head and smiled at Sheemur, her little appearance looked too well-behaved.
“I will continue to work hard.”
The rare and well-behaved appearance of the little prince made Xiemur a little uncomfortable for a while. He regretted what he had just said, thinking that the prince rarely started to work hard. He should not question it, but should praise it.
Therefore, the priest coughed slightly and said something uncomfortably.
“Take it slowly, although it’s only moderate, but it has also improved.”
He went on to add another sentence.
“Don’t be arrogant and be complacent, and you must be in line with Prince Huimos.”
Then, he began to explain to Garlan the wrong questions on the exam paper. It was just that Xie Muer was talking, and felt something was wrong. Although the little prince was listening obediently, he just felt that something was missing.
He glanced at his side in wonder, and suddenly understood what was missing.
Huimos sat quietly on the other side, flipping through the scroll on his lap.
Not only did his behavior make Sheemur feel puzzled, but the teenagers next to him also felt strange.
In the past, every time Sheemur explained the examination papers to Gallan, Huimos would pass by and accompany Gallan, and he would whisper in a low voice when Sheemur spoke briefly or was difficult to understand. Explain it in detail to Garlan, who is more patient with Garlan than Sheemur.
And over time, Xiemuer also acquiesced in this way.
At this moment, Huimos sat there still, and everyone who felt surprised peeked at him and whispered in a low voice.
Some caring people even discovered that this afternoon, the two princes Huimos and Garland did not seem to have said a word since they met each other until now.
Although Xiemuer was a bit strange, he was not a gossip. After teaching Garlan, he left soon after he had some affairs to deal with.
As soon as he left, the little fat Tarr leaned in and asked Garlan in a low voice.
“His Royal Highness, you quarreled with Prince Huimos?”
When asked this way, Garlan subconsciously raised his eyes and glanced at Heimos not far away. However, Huimos seemed to have heard what Tal thought he was very quiet, and turned his head to the side at almost the same moment.
The eyes of the two suddenly collided.
Gallan didn’t react for a moment, and was taken aback.
There was no expression on Hiemos’ face, he just looked at Garlan deeply, but instead he turned his head back and looked away.
Gallan lowered his eyes, the shadow of his eyelashes fell on his cheeks, he pursed his lower lip and loosened it again.
He replied to Taer softly: “There is nothing not to quarrel. I am not familiar with him.”
Although his voice is soft, in the quiet hall of learning, almost all the young people are watching this side with their breaths up and their ears erected.
Naturally, those closer to Gallan heard this sentence. Although it seemed to be an understatement, it was like a big rock smashed into the calm lake, causing an uproar among the teenagers.
Although they didn’t dare to say anything clearly, they all exchanged eye contact with each other, and some people got together and whispered.
Huimos didn’t seem to hear these words at all, still reading the scroll on his lap with a calm expression.
It’s just that no one saw it. When Gallan said that sentence, his fingers on the parchment paused slightly.
There was a slight pause that no one could see.
On the surface, the school hall seemed to be quiet, but undercurrents were raging, and people’s hearts were floating.
It’s just that the little fat guy who couldn’t understand the atmosphere at all didn’t feel the monstrous waves that surged among the teenagers. He just thought, His Royal Highness Gallan said that he was not familiar with Prince Huimos, so he would be with him. Who is familiar with it?
Of course he knows him best! You know, he was specially appointed by His Highness to accompany you!
When he thought of this, the little fat man was even more happy. He approached Garlan and lit his chubby face like a chicken pecking rice, and said, “Yes, that’s right, your Royal Highness is not familiar with him. He always deliberately behaves better than your highness, so that you are reprimanded by Master Xiemuer.”
He happily patted the fat little chest and promised: “I am different. I will never be better than your Highness. No matter what, I will never surpass your Highness!”
Garland: “…”
Do you want to be better than me, but don’t have that ability?
He murmured like this from the bottom of his heart, looked up at the sky, rolled the book, and stood up.
“I’m going back.”
“Ok, my lord, see you tomorrow~~”
The little fat man who was still immersed in rounding Garlan’s words to make up his mind to “His Royal Highness said he and I are the most familiar” waved goodbye to Garlan’s back happily.
He didn’t notice at all, Gallan got up and left. Not long after, Heimos, who seemed to be immersed in a scroll, suddenly rolled up the parchment, put it away, and got up and left.
When the two princes were still there, the hall was quiet, and now the princes left, with a bang, the whole hall was exploded. Now there is no need to make eye contact, no more whispering, everyone is whispering to the people around them.
They used to gather around Prince Garland to squeeze out Prince Heimos, but later because Prince Garland did not target Heimos very much, and the two princes seemed to have a good relationship, they stopped doing this. practice.
but now……
If the relationship between the two princes has become ill, then they must change their attitude as soon as possible.
…………
“Gallan.”
Garlan had just walked to the side of the long steps when that familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
He turned his head and, not surprisingly, saw Hiemos standing behind him.
The young golden red eyes looked at him deeply, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, and his right hand was also stretched towards him at the same time, as if he wanted to hold his hand.
However, just as Hiemos was about to grab his wrist, the other hand suddenly inserted from the diagonal | in, blocking Hiemos’ hand.
It was a big white hand with thick calluses on its fingertips and tiger’s mouth.
Huimos raised his eyes, and what he saw was the one-eyed knight who always followed Garlan.
The knight who didn’t know when to appear stood in between him and Galan, and his raised left hand resisted his right hand extended to Galan.
“Kyjos.”
Huimos called out the knight’s name.
The one-eyed knight blocked his master behind his tall body and stretched out his hand to separate the distance between Hoymos and Gallan.
“Please forgive my offense, Prince Hiemos.”
He said,
“But this is an order from my master, please forgive me.”
“……Order?”
Kayhus stared at Huimos, and even if there was only one right eye left, the knight’s gaze was so sharp that it was impossible to look directly at it.
“Yes,” he said, staring at Huimos with that eye. “Prince Garland doesn’t want you to be near him.”
Hiemos’ pupils shrank sharply.
He didn’t speak, just looked at Garlan behind Kehuos.
The child was leaning on his side, mostly blocked by the knight in front of him, only the small half of his face could be seen, his lips were slightly pursed, his eyes drooped, his gaze fell in the air, and he didn’t even look at him.
Kaihus said that Garland didn’t want him to be near him.
Huimos looked at Garlan, his golden red eyes seemed to be disappearing little by little. Something that existed deep in his eyes, at this time, disappeared little by little with the passage of time.
His pupils, which had contracted sharply just now, slowed down and calmed down little by little.
It is not so much calmness restored, as indifference has been restored.
“I just want to ask why you hate me.”
Huimos said, his eyes were indifferent.
“But now it seems that it is no longer necessary.”
Huimos has always been a proud man.
This proud young man would never allow others to trample on his dignity.
At this moment, he looked at Garlan, his eyes no longer had the softness to this child in the past, but became very calm, as if looking at a stranger.
The corners of his lips raised slightly, and he couldn’t tell whether it was a mockery or something else.
At this moment, he seemed to have changed back to the boy who had just arrived in the royal city. He was calm, deep, and arrogant. He could not see anyone but himself.
Then he turned and left, neatly and simply.

good.
From then on, you and me are strangers.

Well, let me explain here. Everyone seems to have a bit of a misunderstanding. They all feel that every refusal is a torture, so if you are refused three times in the future, you will be tortured three times.
Actually not.
Every time the situation of rejection is different, there are also amusing situations, obsessive rejection, and the little prince’s pretending rejection…
…
Well, it’s boring to have only one rejection mode.
