A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The fact that the royal palace held the Huayu Festival celebration has long been spread, and it is well known.

That night, when the palace was brightly lit, many people in the palace could not sleep all night, looking forward to the birth of their new princess.

Early the next morning, they eagerly inquired about the results of the Hanao Festival celebration, and then they got a piece of news that made them dumbfounded.

The people in the royal city were very surprised at first, but they figured it out soon.

King Garlan's request seemed absurd at first glance, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

Not to mention kings, even ordinary people like them don't want to marry someone uglier than themselves.

So King Garlan asked his concubine to look better than him, it seems... normal?

Ordinary people think so, so for those worshipers of Avdomir, King Garlan's request is completely natural.

As for the noble ladies who were collectively unsuccessful, no one gossips about them, and even sympathizes with them.

In this way, the Flower Royal Festival celebration was held vigorously, and then ended with great vigor.

The ministers who failed to succeed were very depressed, but the people talked about it happily.

There were even quite a few bards excitedly exploring the details of the celebration in the royal city, and then adapted the matter into stories or poems and sang them out.

Since then, the words [King Garlan's beauty is unrivaled in the world] was not only spread among Aaron Landis, but also spread abroad, eventually making the entire continent known.

Even, it has been passed down to later generations through poems and various records, causing future generations to speculate about King Garlan's appearance.

I don't know... If Garlan knows that his actions will have such a profound impact that it will be known to future generations, will he regret doing so.

…………

...It must be too late to regret.

………………

Regardless of the future, anyway, the influence it has caused in the palace is not small.

The female officer didn't say anything at all, but looked at Garlan and smiled for a long time the next morning, laughing until Garlan's face turned red.

It wasn't until Garlan was about to lose his temper with her that Taputi restrained his smile.

On the other side, Xie Muer, who didn't go to the celebration because of something, was naturally very angry when he learned about it.

For a whole week, every time he saw Garlan, his face was dark and his face was dark, and his words were full of guns and sticks, and he was almost cold-eyed.

The same is true for Zuo Sixiang, who will stare at Garlan with depressed eyes every time the court discusses.

Just stare at it, there is no loss anyway.

Garlan thought so.

In any case, Xie Muer, Zuo Si and other ministers finally stopped urging him to get married recently.

In a blink of an eye, more than a week passed in a flash, and this rumored matter finally gradually faded away.

At dusk that day, when Heymos walked into Garlan's palace, someone happened to come out of it.

The blue-eyed boy wore a lion badge symbolizing the rank of knight commander on his shoulder. When he saw Heymos, he stopped and bowed.

The young man's face was cold and indifferent, almost expressionless, with an air of repelling others thousands of miles away.

Heymos glanced at Novi, didn't say anything, just nodded indifferently, and walked straight in front of Novi.

After Heymos left, Novi stared at Heymos's back for a while.

He compared it secretly in his heart, then frowned very unhappy and walked away quickly.

By a wide margin.

The young man who was much shorter than Heymos had no expression on his face, but he was thinking resentfully in his heart.

He is not as tall as King Garlan now, let alone compared to this...

It's ok.

Novi thought to himself.

He is only fifteen, and he can still grow.In the future, eat more and exercise more, and you will definitely be able to catch up with that person.

Novi comforted himself like this, but he didn't know that Garlan in the palace was no less depressed than him.

Seeing that the little kid's head jumped up all of a sudden, he was almost 15 meters at the age of 1.7, and I am afraid that he will be able to catch up to him in a year.

At that time, the only man around him who is shorter than him may be Tal, who is still chubby.

At this moment, Garlan is very grateful that he chose Tal as a companion.

Looking at Heymos who walked in, and sized him up from head to toe, Garlan was suddenly a little upset.

In fact, he is not short, and his height is about the same as that of ordinary people.It's just that the people around him are all tall and tall, which makes him one size smaller.

Especially this guy Heymos... Well, if it is roughly estimated, it can be about 1.9 meters five?

"what happened?"

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Garlan sizing him up non-stop, and Heymos looked down at his clothes suspiciously.

It's normal, nothing weird?

"It's nothing, I just think you are too tall."

Garlan was a little annoyed.

He has always been pampered in front of Heymos, and he unceremoniously expressed his sudden temper directly at Heymos——sitting on the soft cushion of the bluestone platform, he lifted He kicked Heymos' thigh with his right foot.

Heymos didn't hide, and let Garlan kick him.

However, it wasn't in vain that he took such a blow, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Garlan's ankle before the opponent's foot retracted.

Because after sending Novi away, Garlan planned to rest on the soft cushion of the stone platform, so he was barefoot.

At this moment, he was grabbed by Heymos.

He struggled twice but failed to break away from Heymos's hand. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Heymos with a proud expression of "Don't you dare to fight back?"

Heymos is probably the only one who can see Garlan's arrogant and unreasonable look.

Heymos smiled, facing Garlan who raised his eyebrows in protest, with a little force in his hand, he grabbed the ankle in his hand and dragged Garlan towards him.

Gallan was sitting, but when he was dragged like this, his body immediately slid halfway down. Reflexively, he pressed his hands on the stone platform to stabilize his body, and stepped on the edge of the stone platform with his other foot to resist the downward slide. force.

And the guy who grabbed his ankle took this opportunity to lower his head and unceremoniously bit his calf.

Garlan, who was bitten, instinctively kicked him again, but the hand that was holding onto his ankle quickly let go, avoiding his kick.

Seizing the opportunity, Heymos stepped forward, leaned over, lowered his head and kissed her.

Garlan was pressed against the bluestone platform, and this posture was useless, and Heymos was embedded between his legs, making it impossible for him to struggle. He could only hold Heymos' arm tightly with his hands.

After a kiss, the two separated.

Garlan suddenly remembered something, and looked to the side nervously.

There was no one in the room, and the door was closed, and the maids and servants waiting outside were not there. Presumably Taputi saw Heymos coming in, so he ordered everyone to leave.

Garlan breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his eyes to stare at Heymos.

This stare made the guy who suppressed him lower his head again, and slammed his mouth shut.

This time was much harder than the previous kiss, and it lasted a lot longer, until Garlan felt that he could hardly breathe, so he tugged on Heymos's sleeve, and was finally let go.

His fair cheeks were flushed, and Garlan was lying on the soft cushion of the stone platform with his head resting on Heymos' lap, still calming his rapid breathing.

Heymos sat leaning against him, holding Garlan's hand with one hand, intertwining his fingers, and gently stroking the blond hair falling from his lap with the other hand.

He ran his fingers through the thick blond hair, picked up a strand, and brought his hand to his lips.

The slightly narrowed golden-red eyes stared at Garlan, reflecting the sunset glow coming in from the window, with a hint of temptation in the corners of the eyes.

"I'll stay here tonight... okay?"

He lowered his head, and his deep voice sounded like a hint of pleading, but the corners of his lips were raised when they came close to Garlan's ear, exhaling warmly.

That voice was intentionally tinged with a charming tone, and Garlan's cheeks, which had just calmed down, flushed again.

Of course he knew what Heymos meant.

Over the past few years, Heymos has stayed in his palace from time to time.

It is impossible to say that sleeping on the same bed at night without doing anything, and I also know that it is impossible for this wolf-like guy to let go of the meat in front of him.

However, Heymos has always kept his promise that day. No matter how far he goes, as soon as he shows resistance, Heymos will stop immediately and will never continue to force him.

In the following night, Heymos would hold back no matter how uncomfortable he was, and would only hug him and kiss his forehead to comfort him gently, and would not do anything else.

To be honest, over the past few years, it was obvious that he was the victim of being taken advantage of to eat tofu, but Garlan felt a little guilty towards Heymos inexplicably.

Therefore, every time Heymos proposed to stay overnight, Garlan couldn't refuse.

This time too, he didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

The corners of the man's eyes were bent, he lowered his head, and kissed him gently again.

Lying on Heymos' lap, Garlan raised his hand and touched his cheek, his fingertips brushing over the scar at the corner of Heymos' eye.

Garlan kissed his lips back.

"Fortunately, you didn't even need to dance, so you just took the golden fan."

Garlan patted Heymos' cheek and teased with such a smile.

"You want me to dance?"

Heymos raised his eyebrows.

Garlan reflexively imitated Heymos dancing among the flowers... The picture was so beautiful that he shivered instantly and shook his head vigorously.

"Forget it, Your Excellency the Black Knight, if you really dance at the ceremony, your image in the eyes of everyone will be completely ruined."

As he spoke, he pinched Heymos' face with a smile.

"Thousands of Black Knight worshipers in Aaron Landis will cry because their faith has collapsed."

"It doesn't matter."

Heymos' words made Garlan startled for a moment.

Heymos looked at him deeply, the tip of his nose almost touching his.

He could clearly feel the other person's breath passing over his face when he breathed.

"If you allow me, even in public, no matter how many people are in front of me, I can dance for you for as long as you want..."

Heymos looked at him softly, and gently rubbed the tip of his nose.

"As long as it can be used to convey my love for you."

Having said that, Heymos suddenly paused.

After a while, he continued, "I'm jealous."

"I know you wouldn't choose any of them...but I'm still jealous."

He lowered his eyelashes and whispered, "I'm jealous that they can dance for you in front of everyone and woo you."

Garlan looked at Heymos, he stretched out his hand, and climbed up Heymos' shoulder.

He opened his eyes, and the shadow of the man on his body was clearly reflected in his bright golden pupils.

"No matter how many people dance in front of my eyes, I will only look at you alone."

Garland said,

"It is now, and it will be in the future."

He said softly, and continued to wrap his hands around Heymos' neck, making the man bow his head, and let their lips entangle with each other again.

The evening glow came down, reflecting the figures of the two on the snow-white ground.

…………

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

At noon on a fine day, a fleet composed entirely of warships arrived at the harbor of Aaron Landis King City.

A sea-blue banner flew aloft on the largest warship, with a bow and arrow intersecting pattern on the banner.

That was the flag of the southern island nation of Ailson.

Since the war in Intozes City more than ten years ago, the country of Elson has been recognized by Aaron Landis, completely ending the embarrassing status that no one has recognized.

The frequent business and trade with Aaron Landis has gradually developed the economy of the Allson country, and the lives of the Allson people have improved a lot.

Then, in the great war five years ago, when the situation was unknown and many countries were still watching, the female warrior Elson resolutely set out to fight against Aaron Landis, accepting the call of Garlan, who was still the crown prince at that time, to help Aaron Landis. Lenlandis drove off the invaders.

As a result, the relationship between the two countries has become closer, almost on the same level as Tasta.

After learning of the arrival of the envoy from Eilson Kingdom, Garlan quickly summoned the envoy.

He originally thought that Aierson's emissary should still be the female general Aierson who often dealt with him.Therefore, he privately congratulated Kaihos, who happened to be in the Western Territory at the moment.

This female general is really obsessed with Kaihos, so in these years, every time she came as an envoy, Kaihos would immediately go out and hide for a while.

Because they were very familiar with each other, Garlan planned to summon her privately in the government affairs room, and only Heymos, Xie Muer, Suo Jia, and Zuo Si were present.

Accompanied by the brisk footsteps of boots trampling on the rocky ground, Elson's messenger stepped into the room.

The person who came was not the female general that everyone thought, but a young girl who had never seen it before.

The girl looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and slender, with slender hands and feet.

He was dressed in leather armor, and his long, wavy brown hair was tied high behind his head. He didn't wear too much clothing, and looked neat and tidy.

A pair of azure blue eyes, radiant and eager to shine.

Although the girl's appearance was extremely beautiful, she could not see the slightest weakness in her brows and eyes. On the contrary, her high nose bridge and straight eyes looking straight ahead revealed a look of determination, and she looked heroic.

Her every move, with a bit of arrogance, all showed her outstanding demeanor as a female warrior of Allson.

As soon as the young Erson female warrior entered the room, she looked straight at Garlan who was sitting on the seat of honor.

In an instant, as if recalling something, a look of nostalgia flashed across her eyes.

She bent down, landed on one knee, and saluted Garlan.

When she raised her head again, she gave Garlan a bright smile.

"Long time no see, King Garlan."

she says,

"Five years on, you don't seem to have changed much."

Looking at this strange female warrior Elson, Garlan was still thinking about how the envoy had been replaced, but when he met the pair of azure blue eyes smiling at him, the big blue eyes of a certain girl in his memory were in the air. A flash passed through my mind.

"Are you... Emma?"

Garlan looked at the tall and heroic Elson female warrior below, and recalled the cute and beautiful little girl like a doll in his memory, and he was stunned.

It's only been five years, and it's completely changed.

Children really grow up fast.

Garlan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Hearing his name being called out by Garlan, it meant that the other party still remembered him, and Princess Emma's sapphire-like eyes bent.

"I have reached the age of fifteen, and I have passed the test of the Allson female warrior, and I am officially an adult."

According to the customs of the Aierson people, anyone who has reached the age of fifteen can participate in the trial of the Aierson female warrior, and as long as they pass successfully, they can be recognized as adults from then on.

If you can't pass, you can only get the status of an adult after you turn 25.

"According to Eilson's practice, when he becomes an adult, he must leave Eilson to travel the continent for a period of time, so I took the initiative to ask my mother to come to Aaron Landis as an envoy this time."

"In addition to traveling the mainland, as the next Queen Eilson, I still have an important task to complete."

"I have to conceive Queen Elson after me during this time."

Without any embarrassment, Princess Eilson looked straight at Garlan.

She said bluntly: "King Garlan, I hope you can become the father of my child!"

The princess's straightforward speech silenced the entire room for a moment.

Garlan felt a little dazed.

"That...Emma, ​​wait a minute, that, cough, you should have heard about what happened at the Huayu Festival before."

"Well, I've heard of it."

"Then you should also know that, as I said, the princess in my mind must be more beautiful than me..."

"I'm not a princess."

The princess said bluntly.

As the next Queen Eilson, how could she become the princess of other countries.

She raised her head and looked at Garlan calmly.

"I just want a child of yours, and I don't intend to be your princess, so your request for the princess has nothing to do with me, does it?"

Gallan: "..."

It made sense, and he was speechless for a while.
