A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Although his own combat power was not weak, Garlan still lacked the experience of walking in the wilderness after all, and he never expected to encounter the problem of wild beasts attacking in the wild.

His long sword was put together with the clothes on the shore. If the wild wolves pounced on him, he would be unarmed and would definitely suffer a big loss.

Fortunately, the butterfly-like bard arrived in time and shot the wolf to death with an arrow. Garlan was also shocked when he saw the huge wolf.

Standing in the waist-high stream, he was relieved to see the wild wolf shot to death, and looked up at Shulusi on the bank, wanting to thank him.

But when he looked up, he found that Schulos seemed to be dumbfounded, staring straight at him.

He looked down subconsciously, and saw the blond hair hanging on his arms, and the bare chest with water dripping down, and only then did he realize his current situation.

Oh, exposed.

Garlan thought so, but he didn't waver in his heart.

Forget it, it's a matter of time.

After all, he didn't intend to continue wearing women's clothes for a long time.

When he thought about it, he raised his hand, casually brushed the wet blond hair that was hanging on his chest to the back of his neck, and walked towards the shore.

The clear water surface rippled away from him, and when the young man got up in the water, the water drops reflecting the moonlight rustled from his fair skin and fell onto the water surface, splashing tiny splashes.

In the emerald green forest, the young man with his face slightly sideways, raised his hand to lift his blond hair, like a white deer walking slowly in the stream.

The young man, the moonlight, the water waves, and the shimmering reflection of the blond hair scattered on the water.

All of this, against the dark night, forms a picture so beautiful that one almost forgets to breathe.

Sullos took a deep breath and turned around sharply.

"Miss Gal, please forgive my offense!"

He turned around, turned his back on Garlan who was walking towards him, and shouted loudly.

"But this is really a critical moment. In order to protect your safety from the beasts, I have no choice... Please believe that I am unintentional no matter what."

"I... in this dark night, I didn't see anything!"

Halfway in the stream, Garlan, who was already knee-deep, was startled for a moment. He looked at Shulos with his back turned to him, who was trying to defend himself with some astonishment.

Didn't see anything?

Just kidding, the moon is shining.

"...Did you see it?"

This is an affirmative question with doubts.

"No no no—I really didn't—how could it be possible to see it in such darkness?"

"you saw it."

This is an affirmative sentence.

"I...uh, I, that... no, Miss Gall, you are still young, even if your breasts are a little smaller, it's nothing, cough, you will grow up in the future, cough, this, even if you are destined to be like this Ping, it's just a little regret, and with your supreme beauty, people can completely ignore this little regret."

Shuros, who had his back to Garlan, coughed dryly while talking non-stop.

"That's right, that's it, a little flat chest, you don't need to care at all... Cough, I don't care at all, really."

Just as he closed his eyes and opened his mouth and kept chanting, a hand stretched out from behind him.

Garlan, who had already walked behind Schloss, pressed Schloss on the shoulder.

"I tell you, don't refuse to face reality."

Probably guessing the reason why Schulos refused to face him life and death, and said that it was no big deal to have a flat chest, Garlan was a little dumbfounded for a while.

"No matter how flat a woman's chest is, it's completely different from a man's."

As soon as he said a word, Schulos, who was on his shoulders, suddenly yelled loudly, then hugged his head and shook desperately.

"I don't listen, I don't listen! Anyway, you are Miss Gal and you are a woman!"

Schloss, who refused to face reality, shook his head tightly while holding his head.

"You're definitely not the kind of pervert who likes women's clothes, you just have flat breasts! You'll make them bigger if you rub them—"

Before he could finish his sentence, Garlan kicked his ass hard with his eyes twitching, causing him to stagger a step forward.

If it weren't for the good balance and coordination ability of the limbs, I'm afraid it would directly fall to the ground.

But just as he stabilized his body, he kicked over again, causing him to fall forward and fall to the ground with a plop.

Wet blond hair fell down and dripped onto the grass.

The young man stepped on the back of a bard, looking down at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing an extremely dangerous light.

"Say it again? Who is the pervert?"

"...I said myself."

Struggling, Shuros endured the humiliation, and finally succumbed at Garlan's feet.

…………

The bonfire is still burning, but the people sitting by the bonfire are completely different.

The beautiful girl with black hair turned into a beautiful boy with blond hair. Garlan sat by the fire to dry off the moisture on his body as soon as possible.

Schulos, who was so battered by the blow, was devastated, sitting by the campfire with his knees folded, staring blankly at the night sky in a daze.

That decadent appearance really made Garlan unable to bear it any longer.

"I think you can think about it in a different direction. The reason why you failed to court me is not because your attractiveness to women has weakened, but because I am not a woman at all."

Garlan said, "If you think about it this way, wouldn't it be better?"

Sullos froze for a moment.

Then, suddenly realized.

"I see!"

He just said that he was still so handsome and personable, how could his attractiveness to women suddenly disappear?

Dare to feel that the other party is not a woman at all, the problem is not with me.

Thinking of this, the bard, who was listless just a second ago, immediately became energetic.

Although he was very sad without the beautiful girl, as long as he thought that this proved that his charm was still strong, he immediately cheered up.

After all, there are many beauties in the world, and there are countless beautiful flowers waiting for him to pick.

It's just that next time you have to see the gender of the beauties clearly...or you should focus on beauties with towering peaks in the future...

The bard who was bitten by a snake thought secretly in his heart.

"I said you're also strange. You can tell at a glance that she was spoiled and raised by others. A child, who is not staying with his relatives, why does he come out to suffer?"

As soon as he regained his energy, Schulos couldn't stop talking.

It's just that now he treats Garlan as a man without the tenderness, consideration, care and respect for 'Miss Gal' at all, and even takes back his respectful title.

"Let me guess. He must have sneaked out of the house. In order to avoid being caught back, he disguised himself as a woman, didn't he?"

"It's pretty smart."

"Of course." Garlan's compliment greatly benefited Schulos, "Although I am young, I have been traveling on this continent since I was only 15 years old."

He patted Garlan on the shoulder and said, "When it comes to life experience, I'm definitely your big brother."

In front of women, he has to show deep affection and single-mindedness, but in front of the same sex, he unceremoniously begins to let go of himself, proudly boasting about his romantic history.

After blowing for a long time, I finally made a summary.

"You can tell at a glance that you are still a young girl who has never touched a woman. Your family must be watching you too closely. But it doesn't matter. I will follow you, Brother Shuros, and I will see you in less than a year. The demeanor of different flowers in this world, appreciate the joy of it.”

Shu Luosi raised his hand and stroked his long forehead hair, his curved peach eyes were full of amorous feelings.

"Since we are men, we can only live up to this life if we have all the warmth and beauty in our arms."

"..."

Garlan watched Shuros blow hard there.

A smile slowly formed on the corner of his lips.

"Okay." He said with a smile, "From now on, I will learn from you, brother Shuros."

If you want to travel around the continent, it seems good to be a bard like this person.

Garlan thought so.

Although he feels that his military strength is not bad, he has very little experience in traveling outside, and Schulos has traveled the mainland alone for a long time, so he must have a wealth of experience.

"However, if you were a man, why did you want to go to Mount Twiller?"

"Huh? Can't men go to that mountain?"

"It's not because of this, but because many women yearn for that mountain range, because according to legend, a white unicorn once appeared there."

Schloss shrugged and replied.

The white unicorn, the legendary holy beast, is also said to be an elf incarnated from moonlight and water.

It is said that it will only appear in front of the most beautiful and pure girls in the world.

"I've never heard of it. I just heard people say that the Tianchi Lake and the waterfall in Mount Twiller are very beautiful, so I want to see it with my own eyes."

"Oh, I passed by that place the year before last. It is indeed a beautiful place like a fairyland."

As if remembering something, Schulos touched his chin with nostalgia.

"I had a great time there and the beautiful women there were so welcoming..."

"Because of that legend, some girls who think they are beautiful will go to that mountain to see the unicorn, because then she will be recognized by the unicorn as the most beautiful girl in the world. At first I thought 'Miss Gal' is also one of them."

The bard, who was laughing hahaha, suddenly changed the topic and looked at Garlan's face with regret.

"Having said that, if 'Miss Gall' really exists, maybe I can really witness the rumored white unicorn with my own eyes."

Garlan blinked.

He said: "There are no unicorns in this world, right? That's just a legend."

The bard smiled.

"Who knows."

The tone of his speech at this moment has lost the frivolity just now, revealing a bit of meaning.

"This world is a big place, and there is nothing strange...isn't it?"

He said, "It's late at night, go to sleep, little baby of Qiao's family."

After speaking, he got up and patted Garlan's head while talking about the baby.

Ever since he knew that Garlan was not 'her', his attitude towards Garlan became much more frivolous and presumptuous.Compared with the careful fingers that did not touch 'Miss Gal' before, Schulos now either pats the shoulder or the head.

Garlan didn't care about this at all, it was much better than listening to that goosebump-inducing singing tune every day.

He also stood up and walked into the cliff cave with Shuros.

The bonfire behind them was still burning, Schulos said, to keep those wounding beasts from approaching the cave in the dark.

A good night's sleep.

After daybreak, Schulos cleaned up all the traces of the bonfire and the traces of their overnight stay, and then continued to lead Garlan towards the direction of Mount Twillur.

"How long will it take to arrive?"

"Follow me, big brother, and we'll be there in two days."

…………

The bright sun hangs high in the sky, and this little village once again welcomes guests.

Those were two knights, riding fine horses, both were tall and handsome.

A man with blond hair as bright as the sun and a black eye patch on one eye, but the eye patch did not detract from his handsome and charming appearance in the slightest.

The other one was just the opposite. He had short hair like the darkness of the night, and his handsome face had a compelling feeling, and the gaze in his eyes was so sharp that no one dared to look directly at him.

However, although these two came together and knew each other, their relationship didn't seem to be very good.

The blond knight was leading the horse and talking patiently to an old man with gray hair and beard.

"Have you really never seen a boy with blond hair? No, maybe it's not blond hair, but a boy, about 17 years old, with a very beautiful appearance, have you never seen it?"

The old man who was the head of a village shook his head.

"My lord knight, how dare I, a commoner, lie to you? I really have never met the person you mentioned."

The black-haired knight standing next to him suddenly interjected.

"Is it because you have a bad memory and forgot?"

The old man who was questioned was a little unhappy. The black-haired knight meant that he was old and his memory was not good.

However, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he didn't have the guts to confront Lord Knight, so he could only turn his head and stare fiercely at the group of village girls who were hiding aside and watching this side secretly.

The girls who peeped at the handsome man were scared away.

The village chief, who had shown his authority, finally felt comfortable, and replied honestly again: "Our place is very remote, and there are at most one or two guests a day. I will definitely remember all the guests who came these days."

He shook his head and said, "There is really no such thing as the 17-year-old boy you mentioned, Mr. Knight."

"It's within these three days, isn't it true?"

"No, only a man and a woman came together. There happened to be a wedding in the village that day... However, although the girl is young, the man looks to be 25 or [-] years old."

As I get older, I tend to be a little bit rambunctious when I talk.

"That young man is really good-looking. He is no worse than you, Sir Knight. That girl is quite shy. She wears a hood all the time, so she can't see what she looks like..."

The old village chief was still talking there, and when Heymos heard the old man's firm answer that there was no 17-year-old boy passing by, he turned around without saying a word, and led his steed towards the entrance of the village.

As he walked, he thought deeply.

He came after him, and when he arrived at the village, he happened to bump into Kaihus who was also looking for someone.

Since they all judged that it was this side, then the direction should not be wrong.

The fact that Garlan disappeared without a trace is really a bit strange. Being able to sneak out of the tightly sealed royal city by himself is not something he can do.

No matter how much you search, you can't find any news at all.

This is very unreasonable, with Garlan's conspicuous appearance, even if the blonde hair is dyed into other colors, his appearance is still extremely eye-catching.

A young man with a beautiful face should be very obvious, but why can't he find it at all?

Heymos thought so, raised his head subconsciously, and suddenly saw the bustling square not far away.It seems that because a wedding was held here not long ago, people in the village pooled money to invite a civilian theater troupe to sing opera for three days.

In the opera that was being performed, a 'woman' with an obviously thick body wore heavy makeup and sang with a low voice.

It was obviously played by a man.

Heymos didn't care.

That's normal, in Aaron Landis, women are not allowed to perform opera.

Not to mention this kind of civilian troupe, even the royal troupe, all the women in the opera are played by men, but in the operas watched by the nobles, they will choose teenagers with exquisite faces and slender bodies that look like women to play. For one thing, they look exactly like women after putting on makeup, so it won't make people feel inconsistent.

Suddenly, a white light flashed in Heymos' mind.

A young man with a beautiful face and a slender figure...

Playing a woman doesn't feel out of place...

【That girl is quite shy. She wears a hood all the time, so she can't see what she looks like...】

Heymos turned his head sharply.

Is it—
