A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

After a peaceful night's sleep, the light of the sun emerged from the horizon, dyeing the royal city with a layer of golden brilliance.

Sunlight slanted into the room from the skylight and fell on the little brown hairballs.

The little milk lion lay on the round futon cushion in the corner of the room, its fluffy little head held by its two paws moved, and then slowly lifted from the paws.

She looks sleepy, with a few tufts of hair on her head standing up, looking cute and cute.

After a while, it seemed to wake up. It first pawed at the dull hair on its head with its paws, and then licked its paws with its tender tongue.

With its front legs kicking and its hind legs bowing, it opened its mouth, stretched its small body long, and stretched itself.

Then, the little milk lion jumped down energetically, and jumped onto the big bed in this very familiar room.

"Ow~~~"

It let out a happy howl, impatiently wanting to pounce on it and lick the sleeping boy awake.

But as soon as it raised its head, its widened eyes met a pair of golden-red pupils.

The man who always robbed it of people, so it didn't like it very much, appeared at some point, and was sitting on the bed at the moment.

The blond boy fell asleep and was held in the arms of a man.

The man's bony fingers gently stroked the soft blond hair in his arms.

"Ow!"

The originally happy cry changed instantly.

Nega yelled at Heymos angrily.

It's a pity that it thinks it's an intimidating scream, but what others hear is just a baby's whine.

"Shh."

Heymos covered the ears of Garlan, who was soundly asleep, with one hand, and made a quiet gesture to Nega with the other hand.

I have slept for a long time, so I probably don't need to sleep in a short time, but Garlan is different. He only closes his eyes almost in the early morning, and he hasn't slept for long at all.

"Don't wake Garlan."

He lowered his voice and said to his screaming little milk lion.

As if understanding Heymos' words, Nega stopped whining, glanced at Garlan who was soundly asleep, and sat down on the bed sheet angrily.

It seemed that he planned to squat here and wait for Garlan to wake up.

Turning its head arrogantly, it no longer looked at Heymos, but only looked at the sleeping Garlan helplessly.

"It seems that I still recognize me...I didn't expect you to follow me."

In fact, Heymos vaguely guessed something when he saw the sleeping baby lion in the corner of the room.

After all, he knew that after Garlan died 2000 years ago, Nega immediately followed him to be buried.

Seeing its appearance at the moment, Heymos poked its fluffy forehead with his fingers.

"What a follower."

He said that he couldn't help flicking the little milk lion's forehead again.

Yes, Heymos did it on purpose.

Because he was a little upset.

Forget about Kamos, after all he needs to bring Garlan back, but he didn't expect this little guy to see Garlan after 2000 before him.

Nega, who was not angry and enjoyed being rubbed by Garlan, was not polite to other people, especially Heimos.

As soon as Heymos flicked its forehead, it immediately opened its mouth and bit the finger that dared to poke the king of beasts' forehead.

It's a pity that it's still just a baby lion under the full moon, and it's just started to grow teeth, and the teeth are not sharp enough to bite Heymos' callused fingers at all.

The little lion whimpered angrily, spit out Heymos' fingers, and threw his head into Garlan's arms, with his butt facing Heymos, and did not move any more.

…………

Early in the morning, Kaihus, who was wondering if the prince could get used to it, entered the palace.

Although he had disappeared in Aaron Landis for ten years, many people almost forgot his existence, and the guards didn't know him, but holding the lapis lazuli token specially given to him by the emperor, he went from entering the palace to All the way to Garlan's palace was unimpeded.

He had already changed out of the black combat uniform of the outside world, and put on the general uniform of the Aaron Landis people again.

The armor on his body is made of extremely hard but light special metal, and it glows with the unique silver-black luster of metal in the sun.

A long silver sword is worn at the waist.

Aaron Landis also has hot arms.

Although there are some differences from the development direction of external civilizations, Aaron Landis has also developed a special energy gun that uses the Shamash Stone as energy.

It is more difficult to operate than the bullet guns of the outside world, but its performance is superior.

Therefore, for Kyhoes, who has been trained to use energy guns proficiently since he was a child, various types of guns in the outside world are very simple.

And the reason why Kaihos only wears a long sword now is because only cold weapons can be used in Aaron Landis King City.

200 years ago, the reigning emperor was shot dead in full view, and it was too late to save him.

In order to prevent similar things from happening again, the Aaron Landis spent decades developing a new function of the Shamash Stone based on the repelling characteristics of the Shamash Stone within a certain range.

From then on, as long as the banning force field is turned on, no heat weapon can be used in the royal city.

Turned a corner and walked along the stone road, the prince's palace was not far ahead.

Immediately afterwards, Kaihos found a group of guards gathered near the palace, their expressions were quite nervous, and some people were already running out quickly.

Glancing at the corpse among the crowd, Kaihos raised his eyebrows, walked over quickly, and showed his token.

"What happened to these two corpses?"

There were two cold corpses lying on the ground, and one of them was almost naked, except for the close-fitting underwear, and the coat was missing.

"They were the guards who were in charge of patrolling this area in the second half of the night last night. During the handover this morning, they found that the two of them hadn't returned to take over the shift. After searching around, they found his body under the wall at the back corner."

The captain who was in charge of leading the guards replied after saluting.

"I have sent someone to report this matter just now, and wait until the adults who can take charge of this matter come over..."

Before he could finish speaking, Kaihos, who was staring at the corpse, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly his eyes froze.

He turned around and rushed straight to the palace.

Dozens of maids are standing in the courtyard waiting, and they are not allowed to enter without the call of the prince in the room.

Amidst the screams of the maids, Kaihos broke in directly.

With a clang, the sharp sword at his waist was unsheathed.

…………

In the room, little Nega, who originally wanted to wait for Garlan to wake up, fell into Garlan's arms, but fell asleep snoring again unconsciously.

Then it was picked up by Heymos and thrown aside.

Speaking of which, there was one thing I forgot to tell Garlan.

While continuing to caress the soft blonde hair in his hands, Heymos thought.

Last night, when he came over...

Suddenly, the tips of his ears moved, and he clearly heard exclamations from outside and the sound of hurried footsteps running in.

Heymos frowned, and gently put down the boy in his arms.

He jumped out of the bed and walked towards the door, with his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist.

The moment the room was opened, a flash of sword light struck heavily, like lightning, and it was as heavy as a thousand weights.

Heymos raised his hand.

The long sword he pulled out in an instant was raised high, blocking the opponent's fierce blow.

Under the impact of the blade, sparks flew everywhere.

The familiar face illuminated by sparks made Heymos' eyes flicker.

Originally, he wanted to slash the opponent's throat with a sword, but he turned into a backhand and knocked Kayhos away from him.

But in the next second, Keyhos immediately pursued him again.

One sword after another, the moves are extremely fierce.

Just as the two were fighting fiercely, a group of guards rushed into the room and surrounded Garlan in the room tightly.

Seeing that the prince was protected by the guards, Kaihos breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his hand and knocked away the man in front of him who was stronger than he imagined, and raised his long sword to point at him.

"Who are you? What are you trying to do by sneaking into the prince's room!"

he asked sharply.

His eyes fell on Keyhos, and their eyes became sharper.

"Did you kill the guards who died outside?"

This strange and powerful man was wearing the costume of a guard in the royal palace, probably taken from the body of the dead guard.

Surrounded by the guards who poured in, Heymos glanced at Kaihos indifferently.

He wasn't surprised that Keyhors didn't recognize him.

When a person dies, the soul walks through the hands of the goddess of the underworld, and the memory of that life will be taken away.

Therefore, the reincarnated person will not have the memory of the previous life.

It is precisely because of this that he is unwilling to see Garlan again in the form of reincarnation, and he does not want to lose all the memories related to Garlan.

"If one of the corpses was naked, I killed it."

Heymos replied, understatement.

When he left the underground palace and came to Garlan's palace, he saw two guards sneaking in the corner of the palace wall, not knowing what they wanted to do.

Hearing their conversation from a distance, although some of the words were hard to understand, he understood that they and the master behind them wanted to harm Garlan.

So he shot very simply, killed the two guards, and replaced his rotten clothes with one of them by the way.

Keyhos's eyes fell.

He drank: "Catch it—"

"Kayhors!"

The boy's anxious shout came from behind, interrupting his words.

Garlan was soundly asleep at first, but the sudden sound of the blade hitting woke him up from his deep sleep.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that he was surrounded by a group of guards.

He raised his eyes and looked past the guards in front of him, and saw Heymos who was surrounded by another group of guards and was pointed at with a sword by Kaihos who came in at some point.

Uh, bad.

He was still thinking that this morning, he told Heymos not to go out first, so that he could invite Brother Kamos over.

As long as Brother Wang speaks up and gives Heymos an identity, there will be no problem.

Unexpectedly, because he slept too late last night, he failed to wake up in time. I don't know how Kaihos noticed the abnormality, rushed in directly, and bumped into Heymos.

Seeing that Kaihos was about to attack again, Garlan hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait a minute, Keyhors, this man is my friend!"

Keyhos frowned.

"Prince, I remember all the people who have been in contact with you in the past ten years, but I don't remember that you have this 'friend'."

Gallan: "..."

Forget that Keyhors has been stalking him for ten years and knows everything about those around him.

Just as Garlan's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what reason to look for, a tall and strong figure walked in quickly from the outside and appeared in front of everyone.

Kamos rushed over in a hurry. As soon as he entered the room, he raised his eyes and saw the familiar black figure, and his eyes widened suddenly.

He stared at Heymos for a while, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. The expression in his eyes changed violently, showing his violently shaking mood at the moment.

Seeing His Majesty staring at the man motionless, Kehos said.

"Your Majesty, this man killed the guards and trespassed on the prince's palace. I don't know who ordered him to do so. He must be arrested and tortured severely."

Seeing Brother Wang rushing over at the critical moment, Garlan breathed a sigh of relief.

Well, there is no need for him to think hard about excuses, as long as Brother Wang said that Heymos was his personal bodyguard, the matter could be resolved.

Just when Garlan was relieved, a burst of laughter suddenly resounded in the tense room.

Under the astonished eyes of everyone, Kamos suddenly laughed.

He smiled happily and was very proud.

He waved his hand decisively and said, "That's right! Keyhos, catch him!"

Gallan: "..."

Brother Wang, please stop making trouble!

The author has something to say: Brother Wang: No matter what, grab him and beat him up first.
