A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The tense atmosphere quickly spread from the palace and began to expand to the entire palace.

Team after team of guards hurried out from the palace, blocked all the streets in the palace, and started searching in every place with a lot of traffic.

Immediately afterwards, the legion that was originally stationed in the training ground outside the royal city also moved. A small part entered the royal city to assist the guards in their search, while the rest dispersed around the royal city and rushed to various traffic arteries. Set up a temporary checkpoint to guard there, and carefully search for every person who comes and goes.

For a moment, the entire royal city was in a panic.

Looking around, the streets are full of patrolling soldiers, closely watching everyone walking on the road.

The citizens of the royal city stayed in their houses obediently, and the guards searched every building in the royal city one by one.Moreover, even the residences of those noble ministers were not spared. After the head of the Royal Knights, Sage, showed King Kamos's royal order to search the whole city, he led his knights into the residences of noble ministers. Search carefully.

The dignitaries in the king's city were also stunned, not knowing what happened to make King Kamos so aggressive.

They jumped up and down trying to find out a little bit of the inside story, but this time, King Kamos personally issued the password, and only a few people knew the inside story, so they tossed for a long time, still full of doubts.

Among the huge royal city, the majestic royal palace faces south, and the entire royal city has three entrances and exits: the south gate, the east gate, and the west gate.

From this day on, all three gates have been blocked.

Only in, not out.

All the people and caravans who were scheduled to leave the city today were stopped at the door.

Guard knights in bright black armor stood at the gate of the city. The blood-stained aura emanating from them, who had been in battle for a long time, suppressed the dissatisfaction of those who gathered at the gate but were not allowed to go out.

Should be ready soon.

Everyone comforted themselves like this.

They just have to wait a little longer.

So, wait a little longer for this, and after a while, three days passed.

The people waiting to get out of the city waited for three full days, but the city gate was still blocked.

Because even though the entire royal city was searched until almost an entire piece of land was uncovered, the knights still didn't seem to find the person they were looking for.

Just when those people who were too anxious to wait any longer began to restless, the imperial order came from above.

The gates of the city were opened, allowing everyone to leave the city.It's just that everyone who leaves the city has to go through strict inspections.

King Kamos, who was in the palace at the moment, was also frowning and feeling irritable.

After all, Wangcheng is the most prosperous city in Aaron Landis. People come and go every day, and the number of people entering and leaving is extremely large. Once only entering and not allowed to exit, the load of Wangcheng will double, so it is impossible to continue to block like this .

Forcibly sealing the city gate for three days was already the limit, so even if Garlan hadn't been found, King Kamos had no choice but to let those hoarded in the city go out of the city.

However, even if everyone is allowed to go out of the city, every city gate must be closely searched.

Moreover, in order to prevent the news of Garlan's disappearance from leaking out, only a very few people knew the inside story, so these few people who knew the inside story were sent to each city gate to guard there, so that Prince Garlan could be found immediately after Prince Garlan was found. Bring it back quietly so no one else will find out about it.

On the second day when the city gate was opened, the leader of the royal knights, Sage, was in charge of guarding the south gate.

In order to avoid being conspicuous, he did not wear the iconic fiery red armor of the Royal Knights, but put on a set of ordinary Guards armor.

He stood at the city gate, his piercing eyes searching the crowd of people at the gate.

The head of Sage was also extremely dissatisfied with Prince Garlan's abstention from his family.

When he was summoned by King Kamos that morning and secretly talked about it, he was completely shocked.

For him as the head of the Royal Knights, the experience of successive heads told him about the sinister and cruel struggle for the throne. It is very common for father and son to fight against each other and brothers to kill each other—since he took over as head From that day on, he was ready for such a bloody event.

Who knew that this Prince Garlan would play his cards unreasonably.

Obviously the throne was at his fingertips, but he gave it up without hesitation and ran away by himself!

Sage had also heard some private discussions before that Prince Garlan's refusal to become the crown prince in the court was actually a refusal to welcome and pretend for everyone to see.

Now, if he meets someone who says this again, Sa Ge feels that he will directly kick that person severely.

What do you want to welcome or what to refuse?

The prince didn't say hello at all, and ran away so neatly before everyone had time to react.

...the supreme throne, the glorious throne where the gods behold...

Although Sa Ge has no nostalgia for fame and fortune.

But the throne, that no longer belongs to the category of fame and fortune.

Asking himself, Sage realized that if he was in the position of Prince Garlan, it would be impossible for him to give up the throne so easily and give it to someone else.

Therefore, even though he was very dissatisfied with Prince Garlan's behavior, Sage felt a little bit emotional towards Garlan in his heart.

This prince... seems special.

……

The gate of the city was very crowded, and there was a long queue. Everyone had to go through a careful search when they went out of the city. No matter how impatient they were, everyone looked very honest and cooperated with the inspection.

Carriages that can be used by people and goods transported in boxes are the focus of inspection.

With a clatter, one of the pitch-black steeds in the crowded team was probably getting irritated, and suddenly stamped its hooves and let out a neigh.

The old woman in the front row was startled, she fell to the ground, the vegetable basket in her hand fell to the ground, and the fruits and vegetables inside fell all over the floor.

In the next second, the man holding the black horse tightened his grip on the rein to calm the restless horse down.

Noticing that there was commotion here, a young guard knight immediately ran over to check.

When he arrived at the place where the incident happened, the horse had already calmed down.The owner of the horse had helped the fallen old woman up, and was now squatting on the ground, putting the scattered fruits and vegetables back into the vegetable basket.

The guard knight glanced at it and guessed the cause and effect. Without saying anything, he bent over and helped pick up the remaining fruits.

When he got up, his gaze met the person opposite who also got up.

The girl who stared at him lowered her eyes as if startled.

She walked past the young knight with her head down, returned the packed vegetable basket to the old woman, and then bowed slightly to apologize to the old woman.

The knight turned his head and saw that when the girl leaned over, the long black hair was like velvet falling in the night sky, and slipped from the girl's slender shoulders, revealing the back of her fair neck, which was shaped like a swan. The graceful arc of the neck is inexplicably arousing reverie.

The young knight's heart skipped a beat. Thinking of seeing no evil, he looked away in a panic.

The talkative old woman smiled and waved her hands, indicating that she was fine.

It happened to be her turn to leave the city, so she hurried forward to be inspected by the soldiers.

The knight guard stepped forward with the old woman and continued to perform his duties.

When the old woman was let go, he raised his eyes and saw the black-haired girl leading the steed coming.

The girl still lowered her eyes slightly, and her slender eyelashes cast a light shadow on her fair cheeks.

There is a veil around the lower half of her face. Generally speaking, the veil should be removed when undergoing an examination, but the girl's veil is translucent, and even if it is on the face, the girl's whole face can be seen. It can't hide her appearance, but instead makes the girl with a delicate face more hazy and beautiful.

The black horse she was leading had a bundle hanging on one side of the saddle, and a long sword protruded from the bundle and swayed diagonally.

It seemed that some introverted girls stood quietly in front of the guard knights and soldiers defending the city. Before they could speak, she took off the translucent veil and waited for their inspection.

She was dressed in a light blue women's dress, with a mid-size head, slender hands and feet, and a well-proportioned body.

The young girl's face exposed to the sun is like a flower bud dotted with dew that has just bloomed, but that kind of beauty is not delicate, and there is a hint of heroism in her eyebrows and eyes.

The long, jet-black hair was not tied up, but hung over his shoulders like this.The jet-black forehead hair was scattered around the cheeks, which further brought out the whiteness of the girl's skin.

Those eyes, although slightly drooping, were as bright as morning stars.

A little red fat on the lips makes the girl's lips look bright red.

The young knight felt that this was probably the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life.

No wonder he had to use a veil to cover half of his face. After all, such a beautiful face could easily attract mad bees and butterflies.

thought the knight.

If he wasn't on official duty, he probably couldn't help but come forward to talk to him.

But unfortunately, I am on duty now.For him, responsibility is above all else.

The knight who takes responsibility as the most important thing did not hesitate to give up the opportunity to pursue this beautiful girl, and put his mind on performing his duties.

Suppressing his regretful mood, the guard knight inspected it dutifully, and raised his hand to signal the girl to leave.

The black-haired girl nodded slightly as if expressing her gratitude to him, and raised her hand to put the veil back on.

Then, she quietly led her steed forward.

When she was walking forward, Captain Sage, who was standing in the city gate, looked at her and happened to be able to see her profile.

Although the girl's side face was covered by a translucent veil, it still couldn't hide her beauty.

However, the head of Saga, who has dedicated his body and soul to the royal family, has never been interested in female sex.At this moment, he glanced slightly at the girl's face, then moved away indifferently, and raised his eyes to look at the next person who was about to pass through the city gate, paying special attention to the young people who looked like teenagers in the crowd.

The girl walked past him calmly.

A breeze blew from the gate of the city, gently blowing a strand of the girl's jet-black long hair, passing over Sage's shoulder.

If it were any other man, his heart would be shaken no matter what, and he couldn't help but look back.

However, Sako, whose heart was like steel, didn't even move his eyebrows, and his pair of piercing eyes were still sharply searching the crowd.

The girl walked out of the city gate, and when there were a little less people, she turned over and got on the horse neatly.

The steed gave a low cry, and then trotted under the skillful control of the girl.

At the beginning, because of the large number of people, the speed was not fast, and when there were fewer and fewer people, its speed became faster and faster.

Soon, it galloped down the avenue, its tail fluttering, its hoofs slamming on the ground, leaving clouds of dust behind it.

After galloping the horse like this for more than an hour, seeing that the steed under her seemed to be a little tired, the girl slowed down and turned from the main road to the narrow path next to it at a fork.

This place is already in a remote suburb with few people, and there are almost no people on the path where she is walking slowly.

The girl raised her hand and took off the veil on her face.

'She' raised her slightly lowered eyes, and the wind blew the black hair on her forehead, and the shadow of the fluffy black hair falling into 'her' eyes also dissipated.

Sunlight fell into 'her' pupils, reflecting a bright golden light.

'She' raised her hand and pressed it hard on her chest.

Not long ago, the heart in his chest was beating violently, almost bursting out of his chest.

Tight... I'm so nervous!

Pressing his chest, Garlan's nervous feeling that his heart was about to burst into his chest still lingers now.

At the city gate, when Sa Ge glanced over, his face froze.

Fortunately, the veil covered up the stiffness at the corners of his mouth at that time, allowing him to barely hold on without revealing his secrets on the spot.

so far so good…………

While continuing to gallop his horse slowly along the trail, Garlan was thinking with lingering fear.

Fortunately, it is Sako who is in charge of guarding the gate.

After all, Sako didn't meet him many times, so he wasn't very familiar with him.

If it was any one of Kaihos or Heymos, even if he dyed his hair black and changed into this female attire, he would definitely be seen through immediately.

Thinking of this, the boy let out a long breath.

In any case, he finally managed to escape from the royal city.

It was noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the dazzling sunlight hit the earth directly.

Bathed in bright sunlight, the black-haired 'girl' got off the steed and galloped away once again.

The long jet-black hair fluttered in the air, occasionally revealing a little invisible golden trace.

Wang Cheng, who was left behind by him, gradually moved away from him with the galloping horse.
