A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

It was late at night, Garlan was sitting on a soft cushion, and a big brown lion was lying in front of him, resting its big fluffy head on Garlan's lap, soundly asleep.

The young man was bare-chested, and the bright light shone on his fair skin, making the bruises and purple marks on his body more clear.

Behind him, the female officer knelt on the soft cushion, and was gently applying the ointment to remove bruises on the bruises on his back.

The room was very quiet, only the snoring of Nega was ringing.

Garlan stroked the big lion lying in front of him repeatedly, feeling the coolness of the ointment applied to his back, which relieved the pain a lot.

After a long time, he spoke in a low voice.

"Taputi, are you angry?"

The female officer was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled.

"I am not angry, Your Highness."

"……real?"

"I didn't lie to you."

The female officer replied with a smile while continuing to apply the ointment.

"Do you remember? What I said back then."

"I said, because you have been very sensible since you were a child, I always hoped that you would be more self-willed. I hope that you can do what you want according to your own heart."

Putting the ointment box aside, Taputi draped the soft white cloth over Garlan's shoulders.

"So, Your Highness, I'm actually a little happy. Over the years, you've finally been self-willed for yourself... It's just that this time it's a little too strong."

"However, it doesn't matter, you are still young, you are still young, and it is time for you to act recklessly, so it doesn't matter, even if you want to continue to do the same thing, there is no problem."

"Prince, I watched you grow up, and I know what kind of person you are, so I believe that you will come back in the end."

Taputi knelt on the cushion, behind Garlan.

Under the bright light, she stretched out her hands and embraced the young boy from behind.

"Prince, you can do whatever you want. But no matter how far you are away, please come back here."

She held the child tenderly in her arms.

She said softly: "Please don't forget that no matter when, I will be here, waiting for your return."

Garlan leaned against that warm embrace, the tip of his nose lingered with a familiar faint fragrance.

That was the breath that surrounded him since childhood.

He hummed lightly, closed his eyes, let himself immerse himself in it, and fell asleep relaxedly in a trance.

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

Shuluosi came to the royal city with Garlan and his party, but for some reason, he couldn't enter the palace together that night, so he had to stay outside temporarily to wait for news.

He stayed outside alone for two days before someone came to find him.The man who looked like a palace guard took him into the palace, brought him to a palace, and motioned him to go in.

Looking at the huge white jade gate with gorgeous carvings in front of him, Schulos hesitated for a while, thinking for a long time, thinking that no one would trouble such a little bard like him, and then walked in.

As soon as he entered, his eyes suddenly lit up.

I saw those beautiful and lovely girls like flowers shuttling in the courtyard, their slender figure, fluttering white skirt, soft long hair, and crisp laughter, just like fairies in the forest .

They were either holding silver plates containing fruits, or carrying jade jugs, or carrying dishes, and walked quickly on the grass with light steps.

Goddess Avdomir, is this the fairyland you are in?

Just when Schulos was moved by the beautiful scenery in front of him, a voice rang in his ear.

"Are you Shulos?"

As soon as Shuros turned his head, he saw a woman standing in front of him with a beautiful figure and elegant temperament.

In a light-colored long skirt, the light blue belt wrapped around her waist outlined her exquisite curves.

Her long hair was coiled behind her head, milky white moonstone decorations were dotted between her temples, and her red lips were as bright as cinnabar.

beauty!

Before he had time to think about it, almost instinctively, Schulos stepped forward decisively, put one hand on his chest, and bowed to the beauty.

"Beautiful lady, I am the Shulos you are looking for."

He said politely, raised his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised.

Those peach blossom eyes looked at each other deeply, and there seemed to be waves rippling in the depths of the eyes.

"Your figure is like a ray of moonlight falling from the night sky, and it fell into my heart instantly. Your voice called out my name, and I didn't know it until today. My name is so beautiful. "

The bard, who was trying hard to show off his gorgeous feathers like a peacock, didn't notice the expression on the calm face of the female officer who was originally calm.

He didn't even know that the first time they met, his words had already caused him to be directly thrown into the abyss by Taputi.

At this moment, he was still raising his hand to stroke his forehead hair, showing his most handsome side.

"Beautiful lady, I wonder if I'm lucky enough to know your name..."

In the middle of the conversation, he was interrupted unceremoniously.

"follow me."

The magistrate interrupted Schloss with a blank expression, then turned around, and walked straight to the side regardless of whether Schloss followed.

Ahhh, another Keyhors.

Taputi frowned while walking.

It is said that the prince has been staying with this glib man during the more than 20 days outside.Kehos at least knows how to restrain himself in front of the prince, and won't act recklessly, but now this man...

She couldn't help but worry.

I wonder if the prince followed suit?

Her lovely little prince can't become like this butterfly-like man.

The handsome smile of the bard who failed to release his charm froze on his face. Seeing that the female officer didn't even look at him and just walked forward, he quickly followed.

While walking, he continued to try to talk to her, but unfortunately, the charm he was proud of failed again, and the female officer did not say a word along the way.

He tried several times, but in the end he could only follow obediently.

The female officer took him to the depths of the garden, and a small courtyard was isolated by erected white stone railings.

Small waterfalls cascade down the stacked rocks with a crisp splash, forming a thin stream.

A wide, slightly hard white cloth is spread out on the green grass, and all kinds of delicacies, fruit desserts are placed on it, and the aroma is tangy.

It looked like a small private banquet, not many people, except for him, there were only five or six people sitting on the ground, talking and eating.

However, among these people, he didn't know anyone except His Royal Highness Heymos.However, one of the one-eyed blond knights caught his attention. If he guessed correctly, that one should be the one whose reputation for being romantic spreads all over the world...

"Sullos."

A familiar voice called his name, and the young prince walked up to him and smiled at him.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting, something happened in the past two days..."

Garlan said apologetically.

Shuros' eyes fell on Garlan's arm.

The bright sunlight at noon shone on the boy's fair arms, and one could clearly see that there were still a little light blue bruises left there.

Shulos frowned, he remembered that there was no such trace before Gal entered the palace.

"what happened?"

He pointed to the bruise and asked, "What happened? Gal, you are a prince, who is so bold as to hurt you?"

"Uh……"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, tell me who the guy who hurt you is, and I'll help you teach him a lesson."

Garlan gently rubbed his forehead with his fingers.

"It's Brother Wang."

he said, and added.

"It's King Kamos."

Schulos: "..."

Is it too late to withdraw the preface?

The boy smiled and said, "Want to teach him a lesson for me?"

"...If you want me to die, just ask someone to drag me down and chop me up."

Garlan laughed, and pulled Shuros over there, letting Shuros sit cross-legged on the ground like the others, and then he picked up a fruit and handed it to Shuros.

"Here, eat."

He smiled and said, "I said at the beginning that I would treat you to a big meal, and now I have fulfilled this promise."

Schulos took the fruit unceremoniously, and took a bite directly.

The sun shone warmly on his body, and the sweet juice filled his mouth, making him squint his eyes comfortably.

"Why did King Kamos hit... heck, did you do this to you? I heard he dotes on you very much?"

He asked casually while eating.

"Because of my sneaking out of the palace, he was very angry."

"That's right, I almost forgot, you are from my family... Wait."

In the middle of speaking, Schulos stopped abruptly, and he suddenly remembered the previous conversation with Garlan.

"Gal...Prince Lan, you said that your brother wanted to pass on the family business to you, but you didn't want it, so you ran away from home."

He creaked and turned his stiff neck to look at Garlan.

"This 'family business' you don't want, could it be..."

"It's the throne."

Garlan replied with an understatement.

Schulos: "..."

Is this the so-called 'If you don't run away from home, you will be forced to inherit the throne'?

…………

...Ah, the prince is indeed a prince.

This behavior, this thinking, this idea, is so different.

I and other civilians have no idea what unbelievable things are going on in people's minds!

"Would you like a drink, please?"

Just when Schloss's mind was in chaos, a lark-like voice suddenly came from beside him.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw a beautiful maid kneeling beside him, holding a jug in her hand, and smiling sweetly at him.

So, the bard immediately put aside the things he couldn't figure out, and laughed and chatted with the maid.

In this kind of casual private banquet, the maids are allowed to act freely and talk and laugh with anyone.

Naturally, Heymos and Garlan did not dare to approach them.

The handsome and gentle Cavalier Cayhoes is usually very popular with them. However, the new face who appeared at the prince's banquet is also a handsome young man, who can speak eloquently and has a nice voice. He was so elated that he made them very happy.I saw those beautiful maids surrounding the bard, laughing crisply from time to time.

Garlan, who already knew the virtues of Shuros, didn't bother to care about him, while the blond knight sitting not far away looked over.

This person is... the guy who stayed with the prince all the way.

The guy who takes his place by the prince's side these days.

After squinting and observing the bard carefully for a long while, Kaihos suddenly raised the corners of his lips.

He took a sip of his wine and asked.

"Prince, who is that?"

"Oh, his name is Shulos, and he is my travel companion these days, a bard."

With a sideways glance at the bard who was enjoying himself among all the beautiful maids with sweet words, Garland, who was sitting cross-legged, held his chin and said angrily.

"Hey, just like you, he is a very romantic guy. It is said that wherever he walks, there are his lovers... Well, I have to ask Taputi to remind me later, don't let these maids be fooled by his mouth gone."

"Merry?"

Kaihos said with a smile, "Your Highness, you probably have a misunderstanding."

"If I'm not mistaken, that bard is called Shuros, right?"

Looking up at Schulos, he suddenly said, "Are you still a virgin?"

As soon as the knight's words fell, the small garden that was bustling just now suddenly fell silent.

Gallan:? ? ?

Heymos: ...

Taputi: Impossible?Obviously another Keyhos.

Keyhors: A determined smile

After a few seconds of dead silence, a certain bard nestled among the women stood up abruptly.

"I'm not! I'm not! Don't talk nonsense—"

He said that his handsome face was so red that it looked like it was about to burst into flames.
