A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The spacious lion garden is called a garden, but it is actually an endless green grassland.Dwarf bushes are scattered scattered on the prairie, and sparse woods can be seen in the distance.Tall white stone walls surround this vast grassland, and no one without the king's permission is allowed to enter it.

A burly male lion was lying under a tall palm tree, with its front paws crossed, its huge head resting lazily on its front paws, its thick mane trembling like waves in the blowing wind.

Suddenly, its ears moved, and its head, which was lying on its paws, lifted up and looked in a certain direction.

When it saw the person coming, it stood up, took steps with its thick limbs, walked slowly to the person coming, and flicked its tail at the person, as a greeting.Then, those big copper bell eyes stared behind the man.

There was a child hiding behind the man, huddled behind the man's thigh, his two little hands were tightly clutching the hem of the man's clothes.

Seeing the big lion bypassing Kamos and lowering its huge head towards him, Garlan was frightened and hid even more behind Kamos.

Does this big lion think he is delicious, so he always wants to lean his head over?

Garlan thought this in fear, and the big head of the lion who was actually just planning to sniff the scent of his own cubs left on him was slapped and pushed to the other side.

Then, as soon as he was light, Kamos hugged him.

King Kamos put his arms around his little brother, thinking of the way his little brother was startled and hid behind his legs just now, grabbing the hem of his clothes with his little hands, he just thought it was too cute, rubbed the baby's soft hair, it feels like my heart will turn into a puddle of water.

With one arm around Garlan, he slapped the other hand, and slapped hard on the big lion that was circling around him and wanted to raise its head and sniff Garlan.

"Don't bully him."

He slapped the big lion hard, saying so.

The big lion snorted, grinned at Kamos and bared its teeth, expressing its dissatisfaction, then shook its head and walked away proudly.

It walked slowly back under the palm tree, lay down again, basked in the warm sun, and continued to doze lazily.

King Kamos hugged his little brother and came to a big greenhouse not far away.

He opened the curtain and went in. The maids and servants inside had already knelt down on the ground, bowing their heads to welcome him.

Garlan glanced at it, and found that most of this huge greenhouse was filled with green plants, and the other quarter was a small artificial pool. The water was so shallow that it was estimated that it could cover his feet at most.Then, he saw four little milk lions biting into a ball in the shallow pool, rolling around and splashing water.

After issuing such a simple and rude order of 'Let them fight, the last person standing will lead', King Kamos was too lazy to waste any more time there. The fighting between these children seemed to him to be just a game. Like, who is interested in watching children play house?

So he unceremoniously left those little guys who were about to fight to the death in the arena behind, and brought his little brother to the lion garden to play.

He nodded casually to the servant who was kneeling on the ground, and then carried Garlan to the side of the small shallow pool.

Garlan looked down at the baby lion cubs rolling around in the small pool, thinking that the water was so shallow, he was probably afraid that these naughty cubs would drown inadvertently.

Just as he was staring at the little milk lions, one of the little milk lions who had just bitten the fur on the head of his companion raised his head, his small amber eyes fixed on Garlan, and immediately excitedly With a whimper, he slammed his butt away from the brother who was about to bite him back, stepped on the shallow water with four short legs, and ran towards Garlan joltingly.

It ran up to King Kamos, only to realize that Garlan was being held by Kamos, and it couldn't reach it, so the whole lion was a little dazed, and turned around Kamos several times with its head tilted.

Probably because it felt that turning around was useless, it groaned, straightened up its small body, hooked its claws on Kamos's black boots, scratched the ground, and seemed to want to climb up.But the boot was polished smooth by the king's servants, and it clattered down after climbing up, and the little round body turned somersaults on the ground.

The little milk lion who fell down stopped climbing, and sat down on the ground, looking helplessly at Garlan in the air, looking very aggrieved, and whimpered at Garlan in a childish voice.

King Kamos laughed out loud, and as soon as he put Garlan on the ground, the little milk lion got up excitedly and ran to Garlan's feet.

The pair of fleshy little paws groaned, just like the first time they met, it hugged Garlan's ankle and didn't let go.

Gallan: "..."

Is this stupid and cute guy who can only show cuteness really the fearsome and mighty lion in the future?

No, the male lion in his impression must be its brothers, not it!

Kamos rubbed his head and said with a smile.

"It likes you."

But I loathe it.

The corners of Garlan's mouth twitched and he looked down at the little milk lion who was rubbing against his ankle.

"...what's it called?"

King Kamos stroked the stubble on his chin.

These little milk lions were born less than a month ago, and he was a little busy during this time, so he hadn't had time to name them.

He said, "You gave it one?"

"Ah? But..."

Garlan knelt down and rubbed the little milk lion.

With a whimper, the little guy turned over, exposing his belly and facing him.Looking at the round belly, Garlan couldn't help poking it with his finger.Watching the little hairball twist and poke again.

King Kamos laughed.

"The little one hates me, and I'm afraid I don't like my naming him," he said. "Take it easy, we've got a long time before this little one grows up."

He said that with a smile in his eyes, looking at Garlan who was squatting on the ground poking the belly of the little milk lion.

"King Kamos."

Someone came in a hurry, a young minister, holding three or four rolls of parchment.

"There is an urgent report from Vinal City. The flood season of the river next to it has suddenly arrived earlier, and there is a flood!"

Kamos frowned, stretched out his hand, grabbed the roll handed over by the other party, and unfolded it.

While watching, he kept asking the courtier some questions. The young courtier obviously knew the matter very well and answered every question.

So, a king and a minister just stood where they were and started talking.When they were talking, the house was very quiet, and the maids who took care of the little milk lion all lowered their heads and stayed quietly, not daring to disturb King Kamos's conversation.

Garlan had already stood up, listened for a while, turned his head, and suddenly saw a small brown tail tip on the window not far away.

In the next second, the tip of the tail disappeared out of the window with a whoosh.

Garlan lowered his head, as expected, the little milk lion that was still rolling at his feet a moment ago had disappeared.

...Looks like a habitual fugitive.

Thinking to himself, Garlan turned his head and glanced at King Kamos.King Kamos was still looking at the rolls of parchment carefully, and kept talking to his courtiers, not paying attention to this side at all.

He thought for a while, and ran out quickly without saying hello.

As soon as he went out, he saw the brown hair ball had already got into the bushes in the right corner, and he quickly chased after it.

If the little guy is not chased back, the maids in the conservatory will make a fuss again.

The little fur ball slipped away very quickly, Garlan opened his mouth to call it back, but he remembered that this little guy didn't have a name yet, so he couldn't call him back, so he had to follow behind.

Unknowingly, he chased him far away, and the little hairball disappeared after a few jumps.It was only then that Garlan realized that he seemed to have been brought back to the vicinity of the training ground by the little lion.

He suddenly guessed why the little lion had sneaked here... He remembered that not long before he left, the servants of King Kamos had roasted meat here.

The little lion probably smelled the aroma of barbecue.

In addition to being stupid, this little guy is also a glutton.

Garlan thought angrily, and walked towards the training ground.As soon as the corner is turned, there is a steep stone step, and the flowing water on one side flows down between the stones, like a small waterfall.

He raised his feet to climb up, because this is part of the garden play, and for fun, the stone steps are narrow and small, and they are made of uneven gravel.Moreover, the height of each step is relatively high, which is okay for adults, but it is a bit strenuous for children to climb.

Looking at his little arms and legs, Garlan shook his head helplessly, then stepped forward and began to climb up with difficulty.

He had just climbed halfway, and when he was in the middle of the stone steps, a person came down the stone steps.

The four of them, including Heymos, have already been notified by Ximuer. The four of them will enter the arena in the afternoon to fight, and the final winner will be brought to King Kamos.

He had just had lunch, and he was taking a walk here to digest his food and relax.

As a result, when he turned a corner, he saw a familiar little figure climbing up the narrow stone steps in front of him. The movement seemed to be a bit laborious, and the movements of his small arms and legs seemed a little clumsy no matter how he looked.

Looking at the little figure from behind, Heymos couldn't help but smile.

He opened his mouth, intending to call out to stop the child.

Suddenly, a black shadow appeared at the top of the stone steps.

Before Heymos could make a sound, the black shadow suddenly swooped down from the top and hit Garlan who was halfway up the mountain.

Garlan was struggling to climb the narrow and steep stone steps when suddenly there was a whimper from above. He looked up and saw the little milk lion appearing at the top of the steps with a small piece of uneven meat in his mouth. superior.

Sure enough, this glutton!

he thought angrily.

Seeing Garlan's little milk lion seemed very excited, its little tail flicked a few times, and the piece of meat it was holding fell to the ground.

Then, the little guy arched his body, bent his limbs——

Second Olympic!Don't--!

Before Garlan could utter these words, the excited little lion swooped down from the high top, pounced on him, and hit him heavily.

Although Xiaomao Tuan'er was small, Garlan was also small. In addition, the ground was already uneven and gravel, and the narrow stone steps made it difficult to stand on.

The little lion jumped down from above with great momentum, knocking Garlan backwards and rolling down the stone steps.

He subconsciously hugged his head, only to feel that the world was spinning, and his whole body rolled several times.

However, when he was about to fall heavily under the stone steps, a pair of hands stretched out and hugged him.

The boy who rushed up to catch him was not much older than him, and was also knocked out hard, rolling on the ground several times before stopping.

After stopping, Heymos quickly turned over and sat up, his eyes swept over the child in his arms.

The child's white and tender arms and legs were all bruised and purple at the moment, and there were many small scratches, which looked like they had been hit hard.

Heymos knew that it was just a trauma, so it was okay. He nervously looked at a bruise on the side of the unconscious child's forehead, and whispered Garlan's name.

The little lion also ran over screaming, probably knowing that he had gotten into trouble, and circled around the unconscious Garlan, whining continuously from his throat.

………………

..............................

Consciousness is in a trance...

His body was very hot, like a fire, almost drying out the blood in his entire body.

He was lying powerlessly, his breathing was weak, his whole body was so weak that he couldn't even lift a finger.

He opened his eyes slightly, and all he could see was the man's face.

That person's supposedly handsome face always carried an indescribably cold evil intent.

The golden-red eyes, like the raised pupils of a king cobra, make one's back shiver at a glance.

At this moment, those terrible eyes were staring at him.

A hand reached out, pinched his cheek forcibly, and squeezed his mouth open.

The man stared at him with icy eyes, and forcefully poured poisonous water with a strong smell of medicine into his mouth.

He desperately grabbed the hand that was pinching his cheek, but his weak strength allowed him to leave scratches on the man's strong wrist.

Poisonous water poured into his mouth violently, blocked his throat, and choked into his windpipe.

The inside of the body that had been ravaged by the poisonous water began to ache violently like a fire.

He was in pain all over his body, the pain was so severe that tears welled up in his eyes.

He opened his eyes and took his last breath.

The last thing he saw was those golden-red pupils that were chillingly cold.

………………

His head hurt badly, and his consciousness was in a trance. He opened his eyes slowly, and what he saw at a glance were those golden red eyes looking down at him from above.

The man pinched his cheek with his hand, as if he was going to pour poison into him in the next second——

The cold hairs all over Garlan's body stood on end at this moment.

His mind was blank just after waking up from the past dream.

Without even thinking about it, he thought he was still in a dream and raised his hand——

with a snap.

Garlan slapped him, almost exhausting all his strength, and slapped the face above him heavily.

Then, without waiting for the other person to react, he pushed the person away abruptly and stood up by himself.

He stood, panting violently, staring intently at Heymos.

He clenched his hands hanging by his sides tightly, and his right hand felt numb and painful because of the slap too hard.

"What are you doing?!"

A voice resounded loudly, cutting in abruptly from the side.

That voice woke Garlan up suddenly.

He reacted, looked at Heymos who was obviously still a teenager standing opposite him, and saw Shemuer who hurried over.

Oops.

He thought in a daze.

Accidentally confused with the previous memory in the dream.

He looked at Heymos whose cheeks were slightly flushed, and opened his mouth to apologize.

However, before he could speak, Ximuer who came over interrupted him.

"Heymos, the time is up, follow me immediately."

Shemuer glanced at Garlan, then at the little lion circling around Garlan on the ground, said without saying anything, turned to Heymos, and said.

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, regardless of whether Heymos followed or not.

"That...I..."

Garlan reached out his hand to talk to Heymos, but Heymos had a cold face, ignored him, and quickly followed Shemuer who had gone away.

His hands were still awkwardly stretched in the air, and his mouth was still open, but he could only watch helplessly as the backs of those two people disappeared from his sight.

It’s over.

Garlan covered his face.

Heymos was already annoyed with him, and now he probably hated him even more.

He was one step closer to his own death.

His fifth rebirth.

Less than three days.

Kicked Kamos King.

Splashed ink all over Xie Muer.

Heymos slapped.

Well, what a success.

…………

At this moment, the Son of Destiny, who was covering his face, had a premonition that he would die faster and worse in this rebirth than in the past few times.
