A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

It's hard to tell whether this outfit is a special fighter or an assassin... so handsome and cool!

Although countless noble ladies were infatuated with Kaihos when he was in Aaron Landis, Garlan, who had seen too much of Kaihos's armor, didn't feel anything at all.

Now, as soon as he saw Keyhors' handsome modern attire and that sniper rifle with a cold metallic luster, he couldn't take his eyes off immediately.

Probably the admiration in Garlan's eyes was beyond words, and Kamos next to him was not happy.

He snorted.

Kaihos had been watching the boy he had guarded since he was a child with a smile on his face. When he heard Kamos' snort next to him, his emerald green eyes turned to the side.

He said: "Your Majesty, I have already said that I will take the prince back to Aaron Landis."

"My younger brother, of course I have to bring him back by myself."

Keyhos raised his eyebrows.

It's fine to leave Aaron Landis if you want to go your own way, but knowing that those people are watching in secret, you want to get rid of the royal guard and come here alone.

He also asked a helicopter to pick him up, because he was afraid that he would not be conspicuous enough.

"You may not be afraid of danger, but it is because of you that the prince is also in danger. You should know that they can't go out, but they can bribe outside killers."

"If you can't even get rid of this mouse, I will doubt your ability, Keyhors."

"Being able to deal with danger and keeping the prince out of danger are two different things, Your Majesty."

While the two were having a conversation, Garlan listened for a long time and couldn't help but interrupt.

"What danger? Why did you say you came to protect me ten years ago? And... what's 'Royal Father'?"

He was keenly aware of the most critical point in Keyhos's words.

Also, the first meeting of Kaihors, it is obvious that the current Kaihuos is different from King Kamos, and he does not remember what happened 2000 years ago.

The two turned their gazes to Garlan at the same time, and Kamos nodded to Kaihos.

"Now you can tell him everything."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Kaihos lowered his head towards Kamos, then looked up at Garlan again.

"Prince Garlan, I left Aaron Landis and came here ten years ago at the order of the late emperor."

"My task is to protect your safety and prevent others from discovering your existence."

Outsiders cannot enter the Aaron Landis continent, but the Aaron Landis people can safely enter and exit the Sea of ​​Death.

19 years ago, the late emperor, the father of Kamos, secretly left Aaron Landis and came to this country to play for a month on a whim.

During this month, he concealed his identity and fell in love with a local woman.

At the beginning, he made it clear that he would leave in a month and would never come back again. The woman said that she didn't care, and she just wanted a short-term love.

Therefore, a month later, the two got together and separated, and he returned to Aaron Landis.

But unexpectedly, the woman unexpectedly became pregnant and gave birth to a son.

"That's you, Prince."

Gallan: "..."

This kind of bloody unfolding is like the plot of a TV series movie...

However, the woman had no intention of raising the unexpectedly born child, and found a couple who wanted to adopt the child for the child after the full moon.

The couple later moved far away and have no contact with each other.

Two years later, the couple had a child, and they sent the adopted child to an orphanage.

The child grew up as an orphan.

"The first emperor didn't know anything about you at first, but later, when you were eight years old, he accidentally found out about your existence."

"He wanted to bring you back immediately, but at that time, Aaron Landis's royal family was in turmoil, and both the former emperor and His Majesty were in a very dangerous situation."

"So, for the sake of your safety, the first emperor concealed your existence from the outside world, and sent me to guard you secretly."

"For the past ten years, I have been by your side."

"I am very sorry for concealing my existence, Prince, but I cannot appear in front of you without His Majesty's permission."

After listening to Kaihos' words, Garlan couldn't recover for a while.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that you can indeed find a lot of clues.

For example, when I was in the orphanage when I was a child, people bullied him from time to time because he was not tall, but after he was eight or nine years old, fewer and fewer people bullied him.

At that time, he thought it was because everyone grew up and became sensible, so they stopped bullying others.

For another example, after he grew up in his teens, although the orphans were free of tuition fees, they had to go out to work for their livelihood.When he was working, occasionally some men or women said strange things to him, but those people never appeared in front of him again.

At that time, he didn't understand those strange words, so he didn't think much about them.

Another time, when he came back late at night and encountered a robber, he was in a panic, but before the robber stabbed him with a knife, he tripped and fell unconscious.

He also won a lot of bonuses because of this, and his friends said he was very lucky.

…………

So, all of this is actually because Keyhos is secretly protecting him?

Garlan was still processing a huge amount of information here, and Kamos, who was sitting opposite him, waved his hand, signaling Kamos to step back when he had finished speaking.

Kyhoes bowed his head in salute, then got up to leave.

Although the amount of information was enormous, after spending time processing it, Garlan came to a conclusion that surprised him.

"If that is my father, then..."

He turned to Kamos.

Kamos hummed, and patted Garlan's head.

"That's right, you are my younger brother, the only relative in this world who is connected with my blood."

He smiled and looked at Garlan tenderly.

"What flows in your body is the blood of Aaron Landis."

"But...it's a bit messy. If I didn't correct my fate, that is to say, before I was sent to Aaron Landis 2000 years ago by you, the king, the continent of Aaron Landis had been destroyed. Neither you nor that royal father actually existed, nor could I be a prince, let alone someone who secretly guarded me when I grew up... But my childhood memories have not changed... In this way..."

Garlan was still trying to sort out his chaotic thoughts and messy timeline.

"Garlan, the souls of Aaron Landis will only be reincarnated in the blood of Aaron Landis."

Kamos said,

"In the wrong fate line, Aaron Landis was indeed destroyed, but before the continent was destroyed, a few descendants of Aaron Landis left the mainland and wandered outside. And you are the last one who wandered outside Royal descendants, I guess, there must have been someone secretly guarding you at that time—if it wasn't Kehoes, there would have been others."

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

"If you can't correct your fate, then you will die beforehand due to the effect of the curse, and in this way, Aaron Landis's royal bloodline will also come to an end."

"I seem to understand a little bit, but I don't seem to understand it very well..."

Garlan rubbed his temple and said in distress.

Kamos laughed out loud, waving his hands while laughing.

"Actually, I didn't understand it very well, but fate will always repair itself anyway, and we can't control this stuff, so it's enough to understand it, there is no need to understand it too clearly."

He said indifferently.

Gallan: "..."

Well, this is in line with the style of Brother Kamos.

"Then, Brother Wang, if Keyhors doesn't remember me, why do you remember me?"

The boy touched the little milk lion who was snoring on his lap and sleeping soundly.

"Nega seems to remember me too?"

"Well, that's what I'm going to tell you next. Shamil must have told you all the things before, so I won't repeat them."

Camos nodded.

"Because when I died, there happened to be a vacant God of War seat, so I was taken to the kingdom of heaven to succeed this seat."

"After becoming a god, I also knew a lot of things, including the god of all things, the lack of destiny, and the fact that you are the destined child."

"Because of your accidental death, fate went in the wrong direction, and the land of Aaron Landis was constantly in flames, and people were devastated. The weak gods fell one after another, and the twelve powerful gods had no choice but to fall into a deep sleep."

"Presumably you also know about the severe earthquake and tsunami more than 800 years ago. In fact, that was the last counterattack of the God of All Things."

"In the previous history, it succeeded, so Aaron Landis was completely destroyed."

But this time, because the fate line was corrected, the gods did not fall into a deep sleep, so when the god of all things counterattacked, and when the Aaron Landis continent was shaken, the gods took action and confronted the god of all things.

During the battle between the two sides, the sky collapsed and the earth broke, causing the Aaron Landis continent and the original land to break apart.

In order to prevent the Aaron Landis continent from being affected during the war, the gods deliberately left protective power around the continent. Later, although the god of all things failed and fell asleep again, the gods did not take back the protective barrier.

That is the sea area called the sea of ​​death by the outside world.

In Aaron Landis, the name of this sea area is the Sea of ​​Protection.

Therefore, outsiders will undoubtedly die in this sea area, and the people of Aaron Landis can enter and exit safely.

"Although I sent your soul back more than 2000 years ago, when the 'King Kamos' in the human world was still there, the 'I' as a god did not exist."

"Therefore, the god's 'I' will appear only after you complete the established fate line."

Kamos said,

"After you pass away, I will take your soul back to more than 2000 years later..."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, and patted Nega's fluffy little head angrily.

The little hairball who was sleeping soundly groaned, kicked its short legs, and went back to sleep.

"As a result, before I had time to go back, this little guy immediately caught up and hugged your leg tightly."

Although animals also have souls, they are too tiny compared to human souls.

After one or two reincarnations, it disappears.

Kamos spread his hands.

"I can't get rid of it, so I can only bring it back to the present."

Therefore, the little milk lion was born more than half a month ago, the day Garlan's soul returned.

Garlan was taken aback.

What Brother Wang said, "Catch up immediately", does it mean that after his death, Nirga also died immediately?

When Nirga was in full strength, it was impossible to die suddenly.

Then, it will die by itself...

Garlan lowered his head, looked at the little furball sleeping soundly, and patted its head distressedly.

Nega didn't know what dream he was in, so he snorted, and stretched out his little tongue to lick Garlan's finger. The cute little appearance made the corners of Garlan's mouth involuntarily rise.

"The ancient gods will fall after the destruction of the throne, but I am different from them. I became a god from human beings."

Gods have no souls, but humans have souls.

This is the biggest difference between humans and gods.

"The seat of God is shattered, but my soul is still there, so even if the seat of God is gone, I will just change from god to human again, and my soul will re-enter reincarnation."

Kamos said indifferently.

In his mouth, the immortal throne that drives countless people crazy is not very important to him.

He waved his hand.

"It's gone, it's gone. In fact, there is nothing interesting in that deserted heaven. Compared to staying alone in it, I would rather continue to be a human being."

These words were not said to comfort Garlan.

Perhaps a god without emotions and desires is used to spending a long time alone, but for him who used to be a human being, it was too deserted and lonely to be alone on the high throne.

"After the Aaron Landis died, the soul passed through the hands of the goddess of the underworld, and the memory of that life would disappear."

"So, whether it's Kaihos or others, they won't have memories of their previous lives."

The boy who had listened quietly for a long time moved his eyelashes, and he raised his eyes to look at Kamos.

"Including... 'him'?"

The room fell silent.

Even if he didn't say that name, Kamos knew who Garlan was asking.

After a while, he nodded.

"Including 'him.'"

The boy clenched his fingers tightly.

He lowered his eyes, and the bright light came on, and the thin eyelashes cast a light shadow on his cheek.

Short blond hair was scattered around his cheeks, and his lips were pursed.

Looking at Garlan's appearance, Kamos couldn't help feeling distressed. He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

To be honest, he was very displeased with the fact that the wolf cub snatched away his little brother while he was unaware.

But after looking at what happened afterwards, he felt so bored and panicked that he couldn't get angry at all.

After a while, Garlan spoke again.

"Brother Wang, have you found him now?"

Camos shook his head.

He thought that Garlan would be silent again, but, seeing him shaking his head, Garlan suddenly laughed.

"It seems that this time, I have to find him."

Garland said with a smile.

"He used to say before that I just stand where I am and he'll come to me."

There was a trace of nostalgia in his eyes, and his hand gently stroked the golden brown fur of Nirga on his knee.

"But now it seems that I still have to go to him."

Kamos spoke after a few seconds of silence.

"Garlan, as I said, he won't have memories of his previous life. Even if you find him, he won't know you... Besides, you may not be able to find him. He may not have been born, or he may have just passed away."

He shook his head, trying to persuade his brother.

"The chance of this is too slim. I will follow you in other matters, but I don't agree with this matter."

The young man's golden eyes were slightly bent, and he was smiling. No matter what time, his eyes were as bright as the sun in the clear sky.

"Brother Wang."

Raise your hand and place your right index finger on your left chest.

Looking at Kamos with bright eyes, he said,

"He is very cunning. He planted a seed here. When I didn't realize it, it quietly took root and sprouted."

A tiny seed.

At first, it's not noticeable at all.

It secretly took root and sprouted in it, and under someone's careful cultivation, it thrived when the person didn't realize it.

When the small buds broke through the ground and were finally noticed by people, the huge root system that spread densely had already firmly taken root and occupied the entire heart.

"Now, it can't be unplugged."

"........."

"Sorry, Brother Wang."

"...What if you can't find it in this lifetime?"

The teenager laughed.

He said: "Then look for it forever."

He put it lightly.

Kamos didn't say anything more, he sighed lowly, raised his hand, and gently patted Garlan's head.

…………

Passing through the glorious golden road, the platinum-gold plane entered the clear sky of Aaron Landis.

After a long time, it slowly landed on the ground of the royal city.

The hatch opens and a long ladder extends to the ground.

Following Kamos, Garlan walked down the stairs step by step.

Little Nega, who had been sound asleep for a long time, had already woken up, following Garlan's foot step by step, jumping down step by step.

Kamos landed first. He stood on the ground, turned around, and looked at Garlan who was following him.

Garlan was standing on the ladder in a daze, on the last two steps.

In front of him is the land of Aaron Landis, as long as he takes two steps down, his feet can land on this land.

I don't know whether it's the timidity of being close to the hometown or something else, Garlan suddenly hesitated and felt apprehensive, and couldn't go on.

Just as he was standing still on the ladder, a big brown hand stretched out in front of him.

Garlan raised his eyes and saw Kamos who was standing below raising his eyebrows at him, with both hands stretched out in front of him.

Kamos, who stretched out his hands, laughed and said, "Do you want Brother Wang to carry you down?"

Garlan froze for a moment, then quickly shook his head vigorously.

There were quite a few people who came to greet him, and Keyhos was still watching from behind. What does it look like for such a big man to be carried down.

Although he shook his head vigorously and refused, he raised his hand to hold the hand extended by his brother Wang.

That big hand was as warm as ever, making his heart, which was suddenly disturbed, calm down again.

Holding Kamos' hand, Garlan took two steps down.

last step.

His feet hit the ground.

After more than 2000 years, he finally set foot on the land of Aaron Landis again.

Unable to explain why, he clenched Brother Wang's hand tightly, and the tip of his nose felt a little sore.

The bottom of my heart was full of joy and sourness, all the five flavors were full of flavors for a while, and it was so complicated that I couldn't understand it.

Kamos didn't say anything, he smiled, lowered his head, and kissed his brother's forehead.

…………

No one noticed, the moment the boy stepped on the ground of Aaron Landis.

Maybe it's an illusion, maybe it's not, there seems to be an invisible air current surging between the sky and the earth.

The wind picked up and blew far away.

The crowns of the tall olive trees swayed in the wind, and the branches and leaves rustled.

The waters of the Enki River flowed across the land, to the end of the cliff, and then fell into the sea.

From below the cliffs came the crash of waves.

Deep underground, the dark and lightless stone chamber was silent.

Time seemed to freeze here, and there was nothing but dead silence.

In the obsidian sarcophagus as cold as ice, the young man lay quietly with his eyes closed.

The short jet-black hair that seemed to be able to melt into the darkness spread out on the side of that handsome face, only a few strands of snow-like white hair fell on the man's cheeks, which was inexplicably shocking.

He lay quietly, with no trace of life on his handsome face, and no heaving in his chest.

He has been lying here quietly for a long time of more than 2000 years.

Suddenly, an invisible air flow rushed over.

From a distant place, from above the earth, to the deep underground.

puff.

Suddenly.

Without warning.

The sound of a heart beating suddenly sounded in the stone room without a shimmer of light.

The voice was inaudible, but it was especially clear in this dead and silent place.

puff.

Puff, puff.

The sound of the beating heart came from the chest that should not have risen and fallen.

The heart that had stopped beating before the gods that night was beating again deep in the man's chest.

【My heart beats only for you. 】

In the darkness, amidst the constant beating of the heart, the man who had been sleeping for too long slowly opened his eyes.

【My soul only exists because of you. 】

The golden-red eyes were like a cluster of flames burning violently in the darkness.

In those eyes, the dead silence dissipated, and the brilliance was soaked.

It is so hot and fiery, like the glow of red flames that burn the soul.

……

I will always be at your side.

Not even the gods of Aaron Landis can let me go from you.
