A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 52. Chapter 52

“Prince!”

“His Royal Highness Gallan?!”

“Wow ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah -”

After a second of solidification, the pot instantly exploded in Vail’s atrium.

The teenagers who stood opposite Huimos looked at the scene in front of them and screamed.

Gallan knelt on the ground, holding his shoulders, his fingertips digging deeply into the skin of the shoulders.

It was unclear whether it was sweat from violent running or cold sweat that was painful. The blond hair dampened with cold sweat stuck to his pale cheeks, and he pressed his shoulder fingers to tremble.

The intense pain made him unable to even shout.

Just now, he almost pressed his whole body up, and then he managed to push Huimos away from the falling brazier, and all the charcoal fire that fell down hit his back–he could even hear him. There was a sound of burning flesh.

At this moment, he knelt on the ground, holding his shoulders, his whole body trembling with pain.

He couldn’t see what he looked like on his back, but the indescribable pain made him unable to speak.

“Your Highness!”

“Prince–”

The teenagers rushed towards him, surrounded by him at a loss, screaming one after another, and the noise made his forehead hurt sharply.

He wanted to tell them to shut up, but the pain in his back made him unable to make a sound.

Sim hurriedly leaned to Garlan’s side, but his mind was blank, and he could only stand stupidly, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly a hand suddenly stretched out from behind, crossed his shoulder, grabbed his face, and the slimy black liquid smeared half of his face.

Immediately afterwards, a huge force suddenly came from that hand. It was a terrible force that could almost twist his brain off his neck, and suddenly pushed him to the grass beside him.

Hiemos slammed the obnoxious guy away from him with one hand, and saw the little child kneeling on the ground shaking with pain, he knelt down subconsciously, stretched out his hand, and wanted to pick the child up.

“do not come!”

A sound that was apparently squeezed out of his throat with all his strength, made the hand he stretched out to froze in the middle.

Huimos knelt there.

Gallan was right in front of him, within reach.

So close, as long as he stretches out his hand again, he can touch it.

But the child only made such a faint sound, like an invisible powerful force, forcibly restraining his hand in the air, unable to move.

The hard-squeezed shout touched the skin on the neck and even the back, and the severe pain rushing from the burned place made Gallan tremble violently again.

He took a cold breath, took a few more breaths, trying to calm his breath.

“……do not come…”

He did not dare to raise his head, for fear that he would hurt the burned place with one move, so he could only maintain such a movement, lower his head, and speak softly.

“You…you are…black…”

He spoke in a very weak voice.

The charcoal that had rolled down from him was still burning and fell to the ground beside him.

“It burns in the fire…”

Huimos was startled, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

He glanced at the coals scattered around Garlan, did not speak, and did not hide behind him, only his gaze fell on Garlan again.

Instead, there was a piercing scream from the side. The Sim, who was pushed to the ground by Heimos with his face stained with pitch black liquid, screamed in horror after hearing Garland’s words. While looking at the dazzling coals rolling down beside Garlan with a horrified look, he crawled backwards vigorously while lying on the ground.

He seemed to be afraid that the hot coal would jump up and fall on him, wishing to get as far away from Garlan as possible.

Because at first Hiemos avoided more than half of the pitch-black oil, which was spilled on the ground.

Hearing those words of Garlan, the teenagers who had been close to Garlan in a panic exploded all at once, and they drew back in panic for fear that they would accidentally touch them.

But fortunately, the coal that fell from Garlan was still some distance away from the black oil spilled on the ground.

As a result, as soon as the teenagers who had come to Garlan dispersed, only half of his body was covered with black liquid. Heymos squatted and knelt in front of Garlan.

He was the only one who remained by Garlan’s side.

This scene was extremely ironic for a while.

“There! That’s there. Ah——!!!”

The sudden scream broke the embarrassing and ironic situation at the moment.

The little fat man Taer, who hurried over with a group of soldiers, let out an astonishing scream, and rushed over at a speed that didn’t fit his body.

While rushing, he also let out a loud scream.

“Prince! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-”

He rushed over and panicked around Garlan to look left and right, wanting to reach out to help, but watching the terrible burns on Garlan’s back and Garlan’s painful expression, he didn’t dare to do it easily. He could only cry. His face, while calling the prince, circled Garlan.

When the little fat man jumped in a hurry, the team of soldiers hurried over.

That was a group of soldiers that Taer, who had not kept up with Garlan, met halfway through the pursuit. Although Tal didn’t know what happened, seeing the prince’s anxious look made him think it must be a big thing.

Just in case, he brought the group of soldiers who were patrolling in the palace in the name of Prince Garland.

The leading team took a look at the mess here in the atrium, and suddenly felt a little bit in their heart. First, they immediately called a few soldiers to send the little prince to a doctor, and then immediately commanded their subordinates to take control of the scene.

Huimos followed Garland every step of the way, and naturally left here, but before leaving, he reminded the team that the black liquid on the ground is flammable, so the team was very cautious to douse the water on the ground with a kettle. Fo Tan.

Then, he picked up the copper fire plate that was turned over and examined it carefully. The mark on the side of the copper fire plate being hit by a sharp weapon caused the middle-aged team’s brows to frown.

That is the trace of the arrow!

After judging this, he didn’t say a word, pulled out the small horn on the waist side, and blew the emergency alert horn.

Almost at the moment when his trumpet sounded, all the patrol teams in the vicinity rushed over in this direction, and under the command of their respective teams, all nearby places were sealed off.

Unless they have wings, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to break through their blockade.

The group of teenagers who had made trouble looked at the incoming soldiers blankly, not knowing what had happened.

The middle-aged team didn’t have time to control them, just let the soldiers take them well.

Soon, the soldiers he arranged to search nearby found a foreign object.

“Captain! There is an arrow here!”

The soldier who found the arrow from the dense bushes nearby hurriedly sent it to the team.

………………

In the palace hall dealing with government affairs, King Camos was sitting at the table busy reviewing official documents. The scrolls on the side of the table were piled up like a mountain, almost covering Camos’s face.

As a result, Camos, who wanted to go to the martial arts field for activities, could only stay honestly, and corrected the official document until late at night. If he doesn’t finish all these accumulated official duties tonight, he will probably not want to sleep.

The priest with brown hair in a slightly curled shawl stood beside him, expressionlessly took out the parchment rolls, uncovered the intact red lacquer print on them, and unrolled the rolls in front of King Camos.

For each official document, he would use the simplest language to make a summary, and remind King Camos of the key points of this official document to help Camos make judgments as quickly as possible.

“Speaking of which, it’s a bit strange recently…”

The pile of official documents was half processed, and during a short break in the middle, Xie Muer drank the strong tea delivered by the maid to refresh himself, and said half thoughtfully.

“what?”

King Camos was stretching and yawning ignorantly, rubbing his eyes by the way.

After reviewing fifty or sixty official documents in one go, even though the lights in the hall made the surrounding bright like daylight, he still felt pain in his eyes.

“Prince Garland and Prince Huimos have acted very differently recently. They seem to be quarreling, and they don’t speak much anymore.”

“Is that so? Hahahaha, are the two little guys arguing and getting angry?”

King Camos laughed loudly.

“Never mind Garlan, this little guy is very headstrong and often makes noises, but it’s a bit rare for the little devil Heymos to do the same.”

After all, compared to the boyish Gallan, Heimos is much more mature, thinking almost like an adult… Well, when facing Gallan, he still feels a little bit childish. .

“Although it’s just a quarrel between two children, other people in this palace don’t think so.”

Xiemuer said, his eyes were slightly cold.

“It’s not quiet in the palace these days.”

“Let them go, a bunch of chirping guys who have to figure out how many steps they take, can they turn the sky upside down?”

King Camos mocked unceremoniously.

“As for the two little guys…haha, let the kids take care of the children’s affairs. We adults just look at it.”

He waved his hand carelessly.

“I see.”

Xiemuer nodded and stood up.

“Please continue.”

King Camos let out a wailing, and after the howling, he suddenly raised his head and touched his chin.

“Xiemuer, how about making a bet? Well—just bet on ten bottles of fine wine.”

He raised his eyebrows with a grin.

“I bet that in this quarrel with the Cold War, Hiemos must first admit defeat.”

Xie Muer spread a piece of parchment in front of King Camos, tapping his fingers at the key points.

He said blankly: “…I can’t gamble.”

King Camos was taken aback, then laughed loudly and picked up the parchment while laughing.

“Hahahahaha, you really can’t bet like this hahahahaha—”

Both people place the same bet, how to bet?

While King Camos was still laughing, an attendant hurriedly walked into the administrative office.

“King Camos,” he said nervously, “Prince Garland has something wrong.”

King Camos suddenly stood up, his eyes drenched, and the parchment he was holding in his hand was torn in half by him.

…………

When King Camos arrived with Xiemur, he saw many people coming and going, coming in and out of Garlan’s residence.

However, despite the large number of people, the behavior is very orderly, they are all doing their own things in a hurry, and there is no collision with each other. Obviously, someone inside is directing.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Camos saw a familiar young figure standing under the fountain.

Huimos stood there quietly, motionless, pursing his mouth, eyes drooping slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. Two maids were beside him, busy helping him wipe his body. But even after being wiped, Camos could vaguely see the black liquid remaining on his body, from his arms to his calves.

The skin can barely be wiped, and the clothes on his body can’t be cleaned at all. The clothes on half of the body are black stained, and they look dirty, and Xiemul can’t help but frown when he glances at it.

But Camos didn’t stop, but after a glance at Hiemos, he hurriedly stepped into Garlan’s room.

As soon as he entered the door, his gaze passed over the crowd in the room and fell on Garlan on the bed.

At this look, the corner of his eyes jumped fiercely.

His little brother was lying on the bed, and the burnt marks that seemed to have been burned by a soldering iron appeared on the child’s soft white skin.

There is one spot on the nape of the neck, several spots behind the back, and one spot on the calf, which is like a soldering iron rolling and falling off a child.

On the snow-white back, those terrible burn marks looked shocking.

Garland lay on the bed, her face sideways, half of her face plunged into the pillow, the exposed half of her face was extremely pale, her red forehead leaked fine sweat, and her hair was stuck to it.

The two doctors were standing head to foot by the bed, bending over, carefully helping him clean up the wound.

The child’s fingers clasped the pillow tightly, and the fingers were so hard that the knuckles were already white.

He was obviously in severe pain, but he didn’t scream, but his big golden eyes were filled with tears, and his lower lip was almost bloodless when he bit him. The teardrops fell down his pale cheeks and hit them. The pillow was wet.

That appearance is really distressing to people.

“Roja! Bring the towel wrapped in ice cubes!”

“Sha Qi! Bring in the newly boiled water and cool it down with ice cubes!”

“Yes, tell those who pound the concoction to move quickly!”

“Rufia, have the bandages and cloth soaked in the concoction been dried–”

A female officer who seemed to be about the same age as King Camos was giving orders in the room, orderly directing everyone to do things. She was the female officer who was arranged by King Camos to take charge of the Gallane Palace, and it was precisely because she was giving orders here that everyone seemed orderly, and at the same time doing so many things would not be in a hurry.

Instead, King Camos rushed in and blocked the door, causing a maid who hurriedly entered through the door with ice cubes to hit him, and the ice basin in her hand almost fell over.

Seeing that it was King Camos, she knelt down and apologized in panic.

Before King Camos had time to ask her to leave her alone and get up and continue to do things, the female officer over there had already looked over, frowned, walked over, and leaned down at will, just as a salute.

“Wang, there is no need for anyone other than a doctor here.” The female officer with an unpleasant face stunned unceremoniously as soon as she opened her mouth, “Please go out immediately with Master Xiemuer, and don’t hinder us.”

In the same way, she had said to the prince Heimos who was in the room like a stake in the room not long ago, drove him out, and arranged for two maids to wipe his body.

In the room, King Camos and the priest, who could only stand in the way, were driven out by the sturdy female officer in a desperate manner.

As soon as they arrived outside, the soldiers sent by the team reported to them.

“What? A dead man was caught, but that man committed suicide by taking poison?”

King Camos frowned tightly, and he looked back at the room where people were constantly entering and leaving.

Yes, it’s useless for him to stay here. The only thing he can do is to get out the man behind the king’s brother who has harmed him as soon as possible.

“Where is the body?”

After getting an answer from the soldiers, King Camos walked forward quickly.

As soon as he reached the gate, he stopped and turned his head to look at the young man standing under the fountain, who was getting wet.

“Huimos.” King Camos said, “You come with me.”
