A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 50. Chapter 50

The sun has begun to set, and the evening has arrived, and the maids in the palace have begun to get busy, delivering delicious dishes to their masters.

Kaihus followed Garlan back to his residence, entered the arched gate, and walked into the courtyard. Before he got even closer, he could vaguely smell the faint lotus fragrance coming from the edge of the pool.

The stone statue of Isdar, the goddess of stars, stands on the fountain pool, and the drops of water falling from her hands splashed into the pool water, forming small circles of water.

“Are you really going to do this? Prince.”

Kaihus stopped and said suddenly as he looked at Garlan’s back.

Gallan stopped and turned around.

“Yes.”

His bright golden eyes looked directly at his knight and answered firmly.

“I’m sure to do this.”

The blond knight stared at his prince with his remaining one-eyed eyes, and recalled yesterday, also in this place, Garland gave him the first order.

Garland said, Kayjos, from now on, don’t let Himos approach me.

Although he was surprised by this, he did not say anything and faithfully carried out the order.

“Prince, the palace is a very dangerous place. Although it looks magnificent and gorgeous, there are many dangers hidden under this beauty.”

The knight said that although loyalty is his duty, it is also his duty to provide loyalty to his master.

“Although you are Brother Wang, I think it is irrational for you to push out an important person who has a good opinion of you.”

Although Prince Huimos is not valued by King Camos, the young prince has great potential. In time, he will surely become a strong man who is not inferior to himself and the priest of Shemur, even, Can catch up in the footsteps of the Lion King Camos.

Therefore, on the road to the throne in the future, Prince Huimos may be the biggest obstacle for the little prince.

But fortunately, Prince Huimos has always been close to and loves the little prince, so as long as this intimate relationship is maintained, he may be able to hold that powerful enemy with his emotions.

This is the most advantageous way.

Gallan hummed. He didn’t seem to be angry about the objection raised by Kayjos, but nodded in agreement.

“you are right.”

He said, “I did a stupid thing.”

Using the intimacy that Huimos has now to him, as a rope, trap the evil wolf…

This is the best practice for him.

“Kyjos, although I can’t explain it to you now, I hope you can know that my relationship with Huimos cannot be improved.”

“I will never accept him, nor can I be friends with him.”

Gallan said, his gaze flicked over the tall stone statue of the goddess beside him.

He turned his head and looked directly at Kaihus with bright eyes. The child’s eyes were always so clean and clear.

“So, knowing that I will never give the same kindness to that person, I have to take advantage of this, pretending I don’t know anything, and continue to accept the kindness of others casually, let that person pay for himself and enjoy that person. Being good to myself…I can’t do this kind of thing.”

Gallan’s answer caused Kehuos to tilt his head slightly, looking down at the little prince in front of him.

“It is indeed your style.”

There seemed to be a little complaint in his tone, and he raised his eyebrows and said.

“Don’t you think that this will cause trouble to me as your subordinate?”

Gallan was startled.

“you are right……”

He raised his eyes and looked at Kaijos apologetically.

“Because of my waywardness, I will cause you trouble, I’m sorry.”

Because of his willful approach, it is likely to lead to a difficult situation in the future. In this way, he did cause a lot of trouble to Kaihuos.

“There will indeed be trouble… well, a little bit more or less.”

The one-eyed knight scratched his head and said.

“but–”

Suddenly, he changed the front of the conversation, raised the strands of blond hair on his forehead back with his fingers, and smiled handsomely.

“If you as the master have no trouble, how can you show my ability as a guardian knight?”

“……what?”

“If everything goes smoothly, what do you want me as a subordinate to do? So, if there is no trouble for me to solve, that would be the most troublesome thing for me.”

“Ah~~ In this way, I have to try to make myself stronger next, and I definitely can’t let Prince Huimos surpass it.”

Kaihus said that he was joking, but he seemed to be very serious when he said it.

He knelt down and touched the ground on one knee.

The turquoise eyes like malachite were slightly bent, looking at Garlan with a smile.

If this little prince was the kind of person who would use lies and other people’s feelings to gain benefits and put himself in an advantageous position, he would not even face the threat of death in that dark night. He refused to take a step back before the group of refugees and made promises that he couldn’t do.

And he would not come to such a prince.

“It is my responsibility as a subordinate to solve the crisis.”

The knight on one knee raised his head slightly, reached out to hold Gallan’s right hand, and smiled at the little prince.

“So, my prince, please don’t worry about anything, continue to implement your will as you do now.”

He said,

“——Even if this is the will that everyone considers’stupid’.”

People with the wisdom of Solga, the god of the sky, are everywhere.

They use the so-called “wisdom” to calculate in every possible way, in order to obtain their own interests.

People who possess the integrity and radiance like the sun god Shamash are rare in the world.

My prince, you have an upright and powerful mind like Shamash.

Please be sure to keep your innocent heart.

You will become the future king of Aaron Landis.

Please take Aaron Landis to the light with your wiseness and justice.

……………………

Rumors about Prince Huimos and Prince Garland’s affair continued to circulate inside the palace and gradually fermented.

Everyone began to pay attention to this matter without a trace.

And this doesn’t seem to be a rumor. The relationship between the two princes, who originally seemed to be close, has cooled down sharply during this period. It has reached freezing point in just two days, and there is no sign of warming up after a period of time.

Up to now, the conversation between the two princes has become very little, except for the necessary and courteous dialogue, there is no other contact.

Under the palace, an undercurrent surged.

Countless people began to make choices overtly or secretly.

I used to think that Prince Garland was still young, and the relationship between the two princes was good, and there was no need to rush to stand in line, so many people just waited and watched. Now, the relationship between the two princes is at odds, and the distinction is beginning to become clear. Some people who are good at speculation begin to move around and prepare to bet on the two princes.

If you stand right, you will become the central political figure above the court of Aaron Landis in the future.

Obviously, Prince Garland, who was favored by King Camos, was more popular.

Many people even felt that when Prince Garland was young, children were more approachable, talkative, foolish, and more likely to be manipulated.

And Huimos…Although he was still underage, his compelling aura made him not a good talker at first glance. Under those sharp golden-red eyes, it was difficult for people to raise up the idea of scheming in front of this young man.

Therefore, the vast majority of speculators quickly moved closer to Garlan and greeted Garlan.

But it’s not that no one has voted for Huimos. After all, the excellent posture and powerful power of Huimos have been known to everyone. Therefore, although few people have voted for Huimos, they are all very firm and unshakable. People.

…

With a bang, the sharp arrow hit the target hard and even penetrated halfway through it.

The teenagers watching by the side showed admiration to the archery Heimos. They had practiced against Heimos in the arena not long ago, and none of them were opponents of Heimos. .

In this way, their desire to follow Prince Huimos was strengthened even more.

Compared to the few people around Huimos, there were many more people around Gallan.

However, the arrow that Gallan shot unexpectedly deviated from the target, so everyone was silent.

The archery instructor standing in the middle frowned while looking at it, and said nothing. On the contrary, some of the teenagers on Huimos couldn’t help but smiled secretly. But it just so happened that his smile was seen by the people over there.

“why are you laughing!”

A skinny teenager stood up and shouted at the smirking teenager with an annoyed expression on his face.

And the other party is unwilling to show weakness.

“Why, I think of a joke, can’t laugh by myself?”

“You are clearly laughing—”

——Laughing at Prince Garland.

The thin boy choked, but still did not dare to say the second half of the sentence.

So the laughing teenager was even more proud.

“Why, I can’t tell? You are so generous.”

“you–”

Some people couldn’t stand it and started to join the battle.

“Hey, be careful when you speak.”

“Otherwise, don’t blame us for something wrong.”

For a while, the two sides confronted each other tit-for-tat.

All here are the children of high-ranking officials and nobles, each with their own arrogance, and they are not convinced by others, and the archery instructor in the middle can’t stop them.

Heymos suddenly raised his eyes when he was about to make trouble. He glanced at this side, and the inexplicable and heart-pounding look made the voices of the teenagers choke.

However, Huimos didn’t say anything, he just turned around and walked straight after taking a look like that.

As soon as he left, everyone naturally died down, and the young people quickly followed his pace.

Garland, who stayed there, still practiced archery on his own, and turned a deaf ear to the words that surrounded him and complained that Huimos deliberately lost his face.

When the practice was almost done, he left the archery range.

He left, and some people did not leave. A dozen teenagers got together, muttered a little, and then smiled.

…………

boom!

The last young man fell heavily to the ground and fell face down to eat shit.

A dozen or so young people who were still awe-inspiring not long ago are lying on the ground all the time, either with a cracked mouth, or bleeding on their forehead, or bruises on their arms. They all look miserable anyway.

They looked at the prince Heimos who had beaten up a dozen of them together in a frightened manner. They dared not say anything, and ran away with each other’s arms.

The young man next to Huimos who had secretly laughed a while ago also had a blue nose and swollen face. The group of people blocked them, seeming to want to embarrass Prince Huimos, and wanted to deliberately beat him in front of the prince. , But in the end he was easily taught away by Huimos.

He looked at the back of the group of escaping teenagers, and said angrily: “Prince Garland must have instructed them to do it!”

“Yes.”

Several other people also said.

“His Royal Highness, Prince Garland must have deliberately demonstrated to you.”

“Not this time, they will do it next time.”

“We should also look for opportunities to fight back.”

“Even Prince Garland can’t insult you like this, you must let him know how powerful it is.”

Huimos said lightly: “No, it should have nothing to do with Garland.”

He knew that Garlan was not such a person.

…………

Here, the teenagers who wanted to teach others but were beaten by themselves gathered together and complained.

“It’s really hateful.”

“It’s not that I can’t beat him. After all, he is a prince. I’m afraid that I will hurt him.”

“Yes, that’s it.”

Everyone said so one after another.

Immediately afterwards, a young man suggested.

“We can’t really hurt him, but we can block him in other ways.” He whispered, “I have a good way.”

“Huh? What method?”

The boy lowered his voice and secretly said his idea.

Everyone looked at each other.

“is this okay……”

“There is something bad that will make him uncomfortable, but it won’t really hurt him.”

“Yes, this can only be regarded as a level of mischief.”

“Furthermore, we can say that this is what Prince Garland asked us to do. King Camos loves the prince so much, this little thing is impossible to pursue.”

“Tsk tusk, Prince Hiemos would not dare to disturb King Camos with such a small matter, so he could only suffer a dumb loss on his own.”

A teenager said hesitantly.

“But Her Highness Gallan didn’t let us trouble Prince Huimos. Wouldn’t it be too good for us to do this?”

The other person patted his head.

“You are stupid! Your Royal Highness and Prince Huimos clearly do not deal with him. Prince Huimos always puts him on one side. If he doesn’t say anything, he must be very upset. We will help him teach Prince Huimos. Pause, Your Highness will definitely be happy.”

When you are happy, you will be willing to get close to them.

What a great way to please Prince Garland.

“It seems to be right…”

Thinking of this, the leading young man made a final decision.

“Then do it!”

…

………………

The fiery flame, like a giant fiery snake, wrapped the black-haired boy tightly in its terrifying body.

The black water is flowing slowly…

…The smell of burnt flesh…

The teenager who was swallowed by flames made a cry that was almost torn apart…

…

The fingers that were burnt to black charcoal stretched out from the flames.

An ugly hand like a demon protruding from hell… as if to grab him and drag him into the flames…

Just like this, he stretched out slowly…

…

………………

In the dark night, the sleeping child suddenly woke up.

The white moonlight came in through the skylight and fell on Gallan’s sweaty forehead.

He sat on the bed and panted quickly, his dazed pupils dimmed slightly.

Why?

He clutched his chest, his heart beating violently.

It seemed as if there was an ominous omen that struck him, making him frightened.

He thought blankly.

This dream that I haven’t had for a long time…Why do you dream of it again now?

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In just two days, the Himos stock has experienced a wave of sharp declines and rises…ennnnnn

…………

Well, that’s it.

Tomorrow, the next chapter will be the decisive chapter.
