A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 53. Chapter 53

The sky was completely dark, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky, sprinkling fine silver light on the magnificent palace.

Although it was late at night, the interrogation hall located in a remote corner of the palace was still brightly lit at the moment.

A corpse in a black costume lay in the hall, and a dozen people dressed as maids or attendants were tied tightly by ropes and knelt on the hall. They fell on the ground, bowed their heads deeply, almost touching their foreheads to the ground, their faces were full of horror, and there were many scars left by the torture on their bodies.

King Camos in a dark short robe stood in front of the corpse, and a black and red cloak fastened with golden ornaments fell from his broad shoulders.

He looked down at the corpse, his brown eyes, like a lion, pierced and gleamed deep under his eyes.

He just stood there, even if he didn’t say anything, he still had a mighty force toward oppression in all directions. At this moment, there seemed to be a terrible breath enveloped in the hall, and everyone in the hall was breathless.

A team knelt in front of him on one knee, holding an arrow in both hands.

Xiemur, wearing a white priest’s robe, picked up the arrow and looked at it carefully.

“The material is mainly wood, only the iron sheet with a little weight gain on the arrow. The purpose is probably to maintain the balance of the arrow after it is shot.”

After reading it, he came to a conclusion.

He said: “Obviously, this is not an arrow made for the purpose of lethality.”

“Yes, Sheemur.”

The chief judge of the interrogation hall who was also standing aside said, “This is not an accident, but an incident deliberately triggered by someone.”

“Devil’s blood” is a strange liquid that has only been discovered recently. Because it emits a foul smell that can make people faint, it is difficult to clean, and even makes some people’s skin red and swollen and inflamed. Therefore, most people will try their best Stay away from it.

“Now it seems that some people have mastered some of the characteristics of this liquid, for example, it is more flammable than oil.” The presiding judge said, “According to these people, someone used money to bribe them and let them provoke them. The relationship between the two princes and smuggled this liquid into the palace to coax the children to use it against Prince Heimos.”

“Obviously, their target is not Prince Garland, but Prince Huimos.”

The middle-aged presiding judge said solemnly.

“If their plan succeeds, then Prince Huimos is now probably burned to death, and will cause a fire in the atrium. All the evidence, including this wooden arrow, will be burned. Then, this dead man will also be burned. You can escape from the palace during the fire.”

It was precisely because they failed to cause the fire, that group of soldiers rushed to the atrium in time, blew the emergency signal, and sealed off the palace, which captured the dead soldier.

It’s just a pity that this dead man committed suicide by swallowing poison, seeing that he couldn’t escape.

Taking the wooden arrow from Xiemur’s hand, King Camos looked at it from beginning to end.

He chuckled and said, “Although there is no evidence…but I probably guessed who sent the bug in this stinking ditch.”

Although he is smiling, there is no smile in his eyes. If anyone who knows him knows, his low smile at this moment is precisely because of the extreme anger.

He didn’t even look at the maids and attendants who knelt before him tremblingly.

He said, an understatement.

“Kill them all.”

In the screams and cries of those people, King Camos threw the arrow to Hiemos.

The boy knelt on one knee beside the corpse. He had changed into a clean suit before he came, and he was looking down at the corpse now. He heard the words the presiding judge said in his ears, but the fine black hair was scattered, covering his eye sockets, making it difficult to see the look in his eyes when he heard those words.

He raised his head, caught the arrow that King Camos had thrown at him, and took it in front of his eyes and looked at it.

“You can almost guess it, right?”

King Camos said.

“…”

“I’m very upset and want to punch that guy, but now there is no conclusive evidence. I can’t do anything to that guy.”

He is the king of Aaron Landis, and without any evidence, he can’t do anything against a guy with high authority.

Precisely because he is the king, he must abide by the laws of Aaron Landis.

Otherwise, the laws of this country will begin to collapse from him.

“…”

With a little harder fingers, the arrow snapped in two in Hiemos’ hands.

He lowered his eyes, but the messy black hair couldn’t hide the cold light in his eyes.

He said: “Please lend me a team of guards.”

King Camos raised his eyebrows, he turned around, strode away, and the black and red cloak flew high behind him.

He said: “Sheemur, arrange a team for him from my guards.”

…………

Even though it was late at night, the side door of the palace was opened under the special order of King Camos.

The huge turntable was spinning in the hands of several gatekeepers, causing the huge iron gate to slowly drop downwards. It lay down on the moat and became a strong iron bridge.

Immediately afterwards, a group of cavalry in black and red leather armor galloped out from the open city gate, among them was the figure of a small black-haired boy.

They ran out of the city gate and plunged their horses into the depths of the night.

………………

The city of Menistere, one of the five major cities of Aaron Landis, is located in the north of the city. It is an important junction of the Aaron Landis Highway. At the same time, it is also diagonally across the entire north and south of Aaron Landis. An important port on the Enki River, one of the two mother rivers of the Ministry.

And it is this hub location on land and water that allows it to accumulate wealth by virtue of its trade and trade, and it has become one of the five major cities of Aaron Landis.

It is a family inherited city. The former city owner is a loyal and kind person, treats the city people kindly, is very tolerant to the people, and does not collect high taxes. There are also special shelters for the elderly and the disabled in the city. The love of the citizens of Nestor.

It’s just a pity that the child born to the old city lord in his old age has accidentally disappeared. Therefore, before he was dying, he could only pass on the location of the city lord to his younger brother, Earl.

When the old city owner’s child was retrieved later, Earl had already secured his position as the city owner.

But to the townspeople’s relief, their new city lord took his brother’s only heir back to the castle. It is said that he treats his nephew like a parent-child.

At this moment, it was just at sunrise. The gates of Menister City had just opened, and I heard the thunderous sound of horses hooves running across the ground. As soon as the guards at the gate looked up, they saw a group of cavalry roll up in the distance. The dust came, and he was shocked, thinking that he had been attacked by the enemy.

Upon closer inspection, those knights were all dressed in uniform black-red leather armor and dark-colored attire, with special patterned armbands on their arms, and they were relieved immediately.

Because he recognized it, it was the attire of the guard next to the king of Aaron Landis.

That team was about thirty or forty riders, and when the horses reached the door, the leader held the reins.

It was a figure smaller than the other burly knights, and under the gaze of the head guard who approached, the man pulled back the hood of the cloak.

The dark hair scattered in the air, exposed to the bright sunrise, was a handsome face that belonged to a teenager.

The golden-red eyes are like the sun on fire in the sky, the sword eyebrows are high, and the slender corners of the eyes are like sharp blades. Although they are only a teenager, they exude a terrifying sense of oppression, like a sheathed sword, sharp. Exposed.

“Little Huimos… No, Your Highness, Your Highness.”

The chief guard at the city gate greeted him with joy, then he stuttered and changed his mouth.

The edict of King Camos came to Menister City more than two months ago and caused a sensation. Many city dwellers rejoiced and celebrated that their old city owner’s child became the prince of this country. As a member of the city residents who respected the old city owner, the guard chief was also very happy for their little master.

Huimos looked down at him, nodded to him, did not say anything, and the middle-aged knight next to him took out a token.

The golden bottom, the black and red flag on the pattern, and the lifelike golden lion head protruding, made the head guard kneel down at once.

It is a token that only the king’s guards can hold, and it symbolizes the king’s command.

A group of cavalry quickly entered the gate of the city, did not dismount, but slowed down after entering the city. Seeing this group of burly knights, everyone on the avenue evaded one after another. Someone recognized that the young man in the lead was the child of their Old City Lord, and he immediately started to whisper to each other while standing on the side of the road.

The children of their Old City Lord became the prince of Aaron Landis, and maybe they can become King Aaron Landis in the future. This is something that the citizens of Menister are extremely excited. Now, they watched the grown-up children come back to Menister City, and they immediately attracted the attention of many city residents.

They gathered around, watching Huimos lead the team of knights to the gate of the castle in the center of the city, and then dismounted.

“H, Huimos… Your Highness.”

The guard guarding the gate of the castle looked at the young man who strode in amazement, sweat oozing from his forehead.

“You, you are…”

“Why, I came back to visit my dear uncle, don’t you plan to let me in?”

The boy standing in front of the castle gate asked in a deep voice.

The guard was startled, he opened his mouth just to say something.

But when he raised his eyes, he subconsciously shut his mouth when he saw the group of city residents who were gathered together and looked vigorously towards this side.

“Open the door! Open the door at once! Haven’t seen His Highness Heimos come back?”

He yelled at his subordinates while turning around to smile at Huimos.

“How come? Lord Earle said that this will always be your home.”

The boy glanced at him.

Just a look made the guard’s chest choke. He watched as Huimos took a stride and walked into the open door.

Half of the knights who followed the boy followed him, and the other half took over the horses of his companions and stayed outside the gate to wait.

The maids and servants who were busy in the castle early in the morning were all stunned when they saw the sudden appearance of Heimos.

Hiemos, who entered the castle, did not say hello to anyone. After looking around this familiar place, he turned around and walked straight in one direction.

It was early in the morning, and the person he was looking for must be in the martial arts field.

The people who stayed in the hall were so surprised and dumbfounded to watch that the knights also followed Huimos behind without saying a word. An attendant turned around and ran desperately. He wanted to report to the lord of the city the news of Heimos’ sudden return.

Huimos walked quickly across a long corridor, at the end of which was a beautifully carved black wooden door.

He walked to the door, paused, then jerked his foot up.

With a bang, he kicked the delicate carved door open, and an ugly gap appeared in the kicked place.

The sudden loud noise made the young man practicing marksmanship in the martial arts field almost let the long|gun in his hand fall. He turned his head angrily, wanting to curse the servant who disturbed him in martial arts, but saw a familiar figure from him. Kicked through the broken door.

“Himos…”

He subconsciously squeezed the gun in his hand.

“Why are you here?”

Huimos, the son of his father’s elder brother, his cousin.

Obviously a few years younger than him, but much better than him, a guy who can easily crush him.

The guy he hated so much.

He had secretly designed this guy several times, but never succeeded. This guy always looked down at him with a cold, disdainful gaze.

Ever since he heard that Huimos had been chosen as the prince, he had gone crazy with jealousy.

Obviously my father said that this guy Heimos is dead this time, why would he now–

“Because Uncle Earle and you seem to miss me a lot, so I came back to visit you.”

The boy said so.

“Buck, are you practicing martial arts? So, how about letting our two cousins have a meal together after we haven’t seen you for so long?”

As he spoke, he grabbed a sharp gun from the weapon rack next to it.

“No, don’t…”

Buck didn’t finish a word.

A long|tear suddenly fell from the sky, like a huge sharp arrow hitting him.

He brushed his cheek exactly, cut a blood stain, and then nailed it heavily to the training stake behind him.

The young man who had just grown up sat down on the ground.

The long|gun that was thrown by Huimos was deeply nailed to the stake, still humming, and the tail of the gun trembling slightly above his head.

Buck fell on the ground with his mouth open, but he couldn’t speak.

As long as the gun is slightly off, it can penetrate his head.

The young man who strode drew out the spear on the stake, and his body was obviously shorter than him, but he stood in front of him, looking down at him.

Condescending.

A little cold light in the eyes makes the heart palpitating for no reason.

Huimos said, “Go on.”

…………

When Menister City Lord Earle hurried to the training ground when he received the news, what he saw was a terrifying scene that made him extremely distressed.

The son he valued most and loved the most was lying on his back on the ground, and that damn little bastard stepped heavily on Buck’s chest with one foot.

Seeing the extent of the collapse of the chest, it was obvious that several ribs had been broken.

What made him even more black was that the sharp tip of a long gun penetrated the palm of Buck’s right hand and nailed that hand to the ground fiercely.

His son wailed in pain on the ground, and the sound was driven into his heart like a nail.

Earle was so distressed that he was mad, and wanted to immediately order the guards behind him to rush up and chop the damn little bastard into meat sauce.

However, his reason stopped him.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and then walked forward, showing a serious expression at Hiemos.

“Huimos, I said, this is your home, you can come back anytime.”

He said with the stern and painful tone of the elders to the younger generations, and the uncles to the nephews.

“But how can you oppress your cousin just because you are a prince?”

There was a hint of threat in the heartbroken words.

“If this is to let King Camos know that you are doing such a thing… he certainly doesn’t want Aaron Landis to have an arrogant prince who doesn’t know how to respect and love his brother.”

The boy who stepped on Buck’s chest side his head and glanced at Lord Earl from the corner of his eyes.

He lifted his lips and smiled.

“It’s been a long time, my Uncle Earle.”

He said, and then raised his foot. Earle thought that his secret threat had worked, and he was relieved to see that the black boot that had just been raised was stepped on again.

He clicked, there was a slight cracking sound, and Buck’s scream, obviously, his rib was broken again.

City Lord Earl paled. He looked at Huimos sadly and said: “Himos, I took you in. I have always treated you as a biological child, but now I have brought you up to this level. Kind of, I’m sorry to my big brother.”

There was an expression on his face, but the veins on his forehead that were hidden under his forehead were beating violently.

From the corner of his eye, he glanced at the dozen or so tall and burly knights next to him. The familiar attire made him afraid to act rashly, especially the lion emblem worn on the chest of the middle-aged knight in the lead.

That is Qianqichang’s badge.

These knights are all knights of the guards directly under King Camos.

… If it weren’t for these people, he would have ordered his subordinates to swarm up and teach that damn little bastard!

Why is he still alive? He should have been burned to death in the palace!

“My uncle, let you down, I’m still alive and not burned to death.”

Heymos’ words made Lord Earl’s heart beat abruptly.

However, there was a puzzled look on his face.

“Burn to death? Hiemos, what happened to you?” He said, “Did you misunderstand your uncle and your cousin? Actually we…”

“My uncle, it took me a day and two nights to arrive here and I didn’t come to argue with you about misunderstanding and not misunderstanding.”

The boy interrupted him coldly.

“I’m here just to give you a warning.”

He said that he still stomped his cousin on the ground with one foot, and shook the long|gun nailed to Buck’s palm, causing Buck to scream again in pain.

“From now on, if you move your hands and feet again, I will come to see my cousin again.”

Golden-red eyes stared at Lord Earl, Huimos said.

“I came to my cousin who was five years older than me to learn martial arts, and accidentally injured my cousin.”

The corners of the young boy’s eyes were sharp like a blade, and they were raised slightly, appearing extremely sharp.

And the corners of his lips, which were also raised, showed a deep sarcasm.

“Why, I was injured by my younger cousin, and then you, the elder, come out and help him get revenge?”

The man he called his uncle did not dare to touch him for this reason.

Huimos had already seen the man clearly.

Sword with honey and belly, pretentious, good at face, good at acting, and fond of fame.

An adult was injured by his cousin who was five or six years younger, and then as a father he went to avenge his nephew-this kind of disdainful and humiliating thing, Earl, who pays attention to fame, would never do it.

Especially now that the king’s guards are present, things may reach the king’s city, and when it reaches the ears of King Camos, he will not make such an unwise move.

“‘I’m still a child, ignorant, but I accidentally injured my cousin’-I said so, my uncle, what can you do with me?”

The smile on the corners of the boy’s lips that made his back chill became clearer.

“So, I’ll warn you, Lord Earl.”

The cold-eyed boy even stopped calling this man his uncle.

“You move your hands and feet once, and I will find my cousin once.”

“This time, it’s a hand. Next time, this arm will be cut off entirely.”

Huimos said, he was chuckling.

The handsome face of the teenager smiled like a morning glow, which was pleasing to the eye, but it made everyone who stared at him a little bit.

They couldn’t tell the reason, they just felt that what the young man said and the way he laughed made their backs chill.

“Next time, it’s a leg.”

“And the last time…”

In the last half of the sentence, the voice was not loud, but it made the Lord Earl’s chest tighten.

“Huimos, if you have a grudge against me, come at me and let your brother go.”

He said awe-inspiringly.

“Whatever you want to do with your uncle, your uncle will recognize it.”

“No, Lord Earl, it’s normal for my cousin and I to talk to each other. It’s easy to be criticized if you act on you as an elder. And…”

Hiemos stared at him, and deep in the eyes hidden by his forehead, there was a cluster of fiercely burning red flames.

“Besides, you probably won’t feel the pain when you go to you. Only by hurting your most important person can you be unforgettable, right?”

The knife stuck on me just hurt.

Only when the knife is pierced on the person’s body can make people go crazy with pain.

Earle, I want to thank you for letting me know this.

Seeing Huimos’s sluggish appearance, City Lord Earl no longer continued to pretend, and his face suddenly sank.

He said coldly: “I am the master of Menistere. Do you think I will let you do evil in this city?”

“Unless you let your precious son never leave Menister City for the rest of his life, otherwise, as long as he leaves this city, let him be ready to break his hands and feet.”

Huimos replied, pulling out the long|gun that was stuck in Buck’s palm.

Then, he pierced Buck’s thigh heavily again.

Buck’s screams screamed once again in the martial arts ground, like a slap on the face of City Lord Earl, making his face turn blue.

But he can’t do anything, dare not do anything.

The knights of King Camos were watching here, and a group of knights were waiting outside.

Huimos is his nephew, an orphan, now a prince, and still young. He was just’compare’ and’accidentally’ injured his older cousin. He can’t really do anything to him—and It is because of knowing this that City Lord Earl hates him.

Lifting the foot on Buck’s chest, Huimos turned and left.

“That’s all I want to say.”

He said, “If you don’t want your precious son to have an accident, just be safe, Lord Earl.”

“No, Hiemos, you dare not do this.”

City Lord Earl said with a cold face and said in a deep voice.

In any case, Buck is his own cousin, and he is his own uncle. How could this little bastard have the courage to commit suicide–

Huimos passed by him.

The moment he passed by, the young man turned his head, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and smiled.

The golden red eyes shimmer, like a trace of blood——

At that glance, a chill came out of Earl’s heart.

He dare.

There was a voice shouting in Earl’s heart.

This person really dares!

Pata, that’s the sound of the leaving boy throwing the blood-stained gun to the ground.

He left the castle where he grew up without any lingering.

He completely left his uncle and cousin behind.

…………

……………………

Lord Earl would not know that in the world he had succeeded in, Huimos actually killed him by himself and his son Buck.

And the black-haired prince who killed his own relatives by himself was called the “son of the devil” and was feared by everyone.
