A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Over there, the maid who believed in Avdomyr was still imagining, feeling emotional and heartbroken because of that "hopeless, heartbreaking love affair".

Here, Garlan, who had realized that he didn't need to hide Heymos at all, was vomiting in his heart.

Obviously Heymos often came to look for him at night, whether it was Lady Tapti or other maids, they had already gotten used to it, even if the maid saw Heymos, it would not be a big deal, but why was he so nervous at that time? Powerful, he hurriedly pressed Heymos into the flowers?

It was as if they were having a private meeting and they were shameless.

……

Pooh!

What kind of private meeting, it is impossible for him to have any private meeting with Heymos in his life!

While thinking so angrily, Garlan turned around and looked behind him.

Heymos sat among the flowers, with no nervous expression on his face at all, but when Garlan looked at him, he curled his lips into a smile.

Then, he stretched out his hand to Garlan, it looked like Garlan would not get up unless he pulled him.

The handsome young man sat among the lavender hyacinth flowers, the starlight fell into his bright golden-red pupils, like jewels shining in the dark night.

Even the posture of sitting on the ground and the movement of reaching out to Garlan gave people a lazy and beautiful feeling.

Garlan stared at the hand stretched out to him for a long while without moving.

But he didn't move, and neither did Heymos.

That hand hung in mid-air so stubbornly, and Heymos stared straight at Garlan.

Obviously, if Garlan didn't do something, Heymos really didn't plan to get up.

... This guy is cheating.

Garlan was amused and angry at the same time, but based on what he knew about Heymos, if he turned around and left now, Heymos could really sit here stubbornly all night until dawn.

When Taputi and the other maids come out...

Garlan couldn't imagine how much commotion would ensue.

He sighed slightly, reached out and grabbed Heymos' hand, and tugged hard.

Heymos accepted it as soon as he saw it, and stopped taking Joe, and followed his strength to stand up.

Garlan resolutely chased away the people.

"It's late, I'm going to rest, you go back quickly."

"it is good."

Heymos agreed so simply that Garlan was a little surprised.

He raised his face and looked at Heymos suspiciously, trying to see if Heymos was planning something again.

Heymos was indeed thinking of something.

The moment Garlan looked up at him, he seized the opportunity and quickly lowered his head.

Before Garlan could react, his lips had already landed on the soft blond hair on Garlan's forehead.

He kissed Garlan's forehead lightly.

It was the same action as when the boy kissed his forehead in the pool water in the afternoon.

However, compared to Garlan's kiss full of apology and consolation, his kiss at this moment is more gentle, and his gaze on the boy in front of him is full of nostalgia.

Then, without waiting for Garlan to speak, he simply turned around and left.

By the time Garlan called out his name angrily, Heymos had already walked away.

Garlan stood where he was, watching the figure lightly leapt up the wall before disappearing into the night in a daze.

That guy ran so fast that he couldn't even get angry.

In the end, he could only let out a long sigh.

By the way, doesn't this guy have high self-esteem?

Taputi said that he would give up if he was rejected once, but Heymos was rejected so many times by himself, and he still wanted to hold on to him...

Ok?

Speaking of which, how many times has he rejected Heymos?

If you count from childhood...

Garlan subconsciously looked towards the other side of the courtyard, where the tall stone fountain statue of the goddess Isdar stood.

At that time, Heymos, who was still a boy, told him there that he would protect him and guard him all his life, but when he remembered that he was poisoned by Heymos under the fountain, he pushed him away mercilessly. Heymos.

However, Heymos was very arrogant when he was a teenager. After being rejected by him, he stayed away from him.

If it wasn't because of the fire incident later, he dreamed the truth, maybe he and Heymos would have parted ways after that rejection, and the relationship between them would have been very cold when they grew up...

Then, at the celebration banquet after escorting the Tasda mission back, Heymos found him who climbed to the attic on the top of the mountain because he was a little drunk.

At that time, he thought Heymos was going to push him off the top of the mountain, which made him break out in a cold sweat and sober up from the wine - after all, he suddenly remembered that in one life he was in the attic on the top of the mountain Heymos pushed him down and fell to his death.

He thought he was going to repeat the same mistakes... In the end, unexpectedly, Heymos kissed him suddenly and expressed his love to him.

At that time, he was completely stunned.

Speaking of which, Heymos is much more difficult to fool when he grows up than when he was a teenager, and it is not so easy to refuse...

The last time was this time, at the place where he was nailed to the city wall with a sword through his heart in his previous life, he thought that Heymos remembered the things of the previous lives, regained his hatred for him, and was nervous and nervous. it's sad...

…………

Ok?

Garlan thought about it, and suddenly felt something strange.

After thinking about it carefully, he reacted instantly.

It's not an illusion, it's really weird.

Every time Heymos confessed to him, he would think of the scene of being killed by him, because they happened to be at the place where he was killed every time.

Gallan: "..."

The mood is suddenly very complicated.

...coincidence?

Every time I was courted by the person who killed him in the place where I was killed last time, last time, last time, I felt very tired.

I really don't know if it's his bad luck or Heymos' bad luck...

…………

After being interrupted by the maid, Garlan was unable to refute what Heymos said, so it seemed that they had reached an agreement inexplicably.

When Garlan mentioned it again later, Heymos looked at him and said that he didn't refuse that night, he just acquiesced to what he said.But now Garlan has suddenly repented, which is wrong.

Gallan: "..."

Suddenly, I wanted to trouble the maid who interrupted me.

No, it's not right to vent your anger like that.

In the final analysis, Heymos is playing a rogue.

In short, as long as he opens his mouth to refuse, Heymos has only one attitude, I don't listen, I don't listen.

Forget it, what annoyed Garlan the most was that Heymos didn't know what attribute he had awakened, and started sneaking into his bedroom every now and then at night to look for him.

But I don’t do anything, just talk to him, or play a few games of Ulure chess, or talk about political and even military affairs.Even if Garlan asked Heymos about the Northland Legion, Heymos would never hide it and would tell him frankly.

At most, it was just holding his hand and looking at him with bright eyes.

"For these things, you can come to me during the day, right?"

After more than ten days like this, when he was almost bumped into by the night watch maid again, Garlan finally couldn't bear to ask this question out.

What's wrong with Heymos?Obviously, they could come to him in a dignified way, but they insisted on sneaking in to see him in the middle of the night, and they insisted on avoiding people's eyes and ears, making them seem to be doing something shady.

As a result, every time someone came over, he became inexplicably nervous.

In the night, Heymos and Garlan sat side by side by the pool.

Hearing Garlan's words, he turned his head, a little smile appeared in his golden-red eyes.

He said: "Don't you think this kind of late-night tryst is more exciting and can break through emotional barriers?"

Gallan: "..."

A fart for a late-night tryst, a fart for breaking through emotional barriers, do you think this is Juliet and Romeo?

The boy was so angry that he cursed in his heart.

"and……"

"what?"

Garlan looked at him sullenly.

Heymos looked at him sideways, his eyes slightly bent.

Under the silent night sky, the sky full of stars fell on the pool water, and the fine silver brilliance swayed on the water surface, refracting on that handsome side cheek.

He stretched out his hand to hold the hand of the boy beside him, and said, "When I pour out my love to you, are you sure you want others to listen?"

Garlan was taken aback, and immediately after, his cheeks flushed a little.

Even though his face was a little hot, he still retorted unconvinced.

"You also know that your feelings are wrong, and you can't let others know."

"I don't think my feelings are incorrect, and I don't mind letting others know. I can tell my crush on you in front of everyone at any occasion and at any time."

Still holding Garlan's hand, Heymos didn't look away at all.

He said, "But you don't want to, do you?"

"Uh……"

"You don't want to, so I won't do it."

Heymos bowed his head.

In the cool night wind, his warm lips fell gently on the white back of the hand he was holding.

"I'm not going to do anything to embarrass you," he said.

Garlan pursed his lips, as if hesitating.

He lowered his eyes, and the ends of the slender eyelashes seemed to move slightly in the wind.

He still didn't say anything in the end, but he didn't break away from the hand held by Heymos either.

…………

It was late at night, and the entire palace was quiet, and most of the lights had been extinguished, only the lights in the corridors and roads were still on.

Skillfully jumping off the high wall of Garlan Palace, Heymos quickly walked away along the remote path at the corner.

Soon, Garlan's palace disappeared behind him.

After he walked for a while, Heymos suddenly stopped when he reached the depths of the secluded garden path.

The moonlight shone on the gravel-paved path, illuminating the quiet grove.

"Are you going to follow me until I go back?"

He spoke to the empty grove.

As soon as Heymos finished speaking, someone stepped out from behind a thick tree trunk.

The man stepped out of the shadows and walked up to Heymos.

The moonlight shone on the man's face, and the golden hair reflected the faint moonlight. On that face, the pitch-black eyepatch covering one side of the cheek was extremely conspicuous.

"Your Highness Heymos, may I ask you a question?"

Kehos stood opposite, looking at Heymos with a faint expression.

"You ask."

"...When did you have such ulterior motives for the prince?!"

As soon as these words fell, the originally indifferent expression of the one-eyed knight suddenly changed.

With a clang, the sharp blade at his waist was unsheathed, and it slid across a snow-white arc in the dark night, pointing the tip of the sword at Heymos opposite.

His emerald green eyes stared at Heymos, and at this moment, those eyes were like the edge of a sword in his hand, extremely sharp.

A surge of anger surged violently in Kyhoes's chest.

Although he had vaguely felt that Heymos had a special affection for the prince and treated the prince more special than anyone else, but he never thought that Heymos actually had such thoughts for the prince.

"do not know."

Keyhos sneered.

"Don't you dare to answer?"

"...I mean, I don't know."

Heymos replied calmly, raised his hand, and pulled out the sharp sword at his waist.

He himself didn't know when exactly he put Garlan in the softest place in his heart.

He thought that he was cold-hearted, and he was afraid that he would never like anyone in this life, but later he found out that he had already been deeply infatuated with someone.

Keyhos took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Your feelings may not be hypocritical..."

Even though he was extremely angry about this matter, he had to admit that Heymos's heart for the prince was probably true.

He could see it.

He knew what it looked like to be deeply in love with someone.

"But I can also see that the prince doesn't have the same thoughts for you."

"His Royal Highness Heymos, you should know how much obstacles you will face together. The prince is already the crown prince and will become the king of this country in the future. If he chooses to be with you, it will be an extremely difficult or even Painful way."

Kehos stared straight at Heymos, the sword in his hand was still pointed at Heymos.

"If it's the prince's choice, he is willing to choose you and walk on that difficult road, and I will obey his will."

The one-eyed knight shook his head slightly.

"But not yet, the prince is still young, he hasn't fallen in love with anyone, and he hasn't fallen in love with you either. He still has a better choice, an easier path."

"As his guardian knight, I have the responsibility to protect him and help him stay away from that difficult road."

He says,

"So, I'm sorry, Your Highness Heymos, you must give up the prince."

Heymos looked calm, but the sword in his hand had already been raised.

"Nobody can make me give him up."

He said, in a calm tone, but firmer than anything else.

"Even the gods of Aaron Landis."

"...Alright."

Keyhos let out a breath, the muscles in his arms tensed a little.

He stood there, bowing his body slightly, his whole body was ready to go, and a monstrous fighting spirit was faintly emanating from his body.

"'Knights of the Sun'...and, 'Black Knights of Hell'..."

"Perhaps this is the will of the gods in the dark, and you and I are destined to have this battle."

At the moment when his last sentence fell, the tall body of the blond knight attacked Heymos like a wild leopard with a speed that did not match his size.

There was a loud bang.

Sparks fly.

Two bright long swords crossed and collided abruptly.

The sharp sword blades rubbed against each other and the sparks splashed suddenly exploded in the dark night.
