A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The astonishing little prince was packed and taken back to the palace by the dark-faced Lion King.

Because of Garlan's unintentional words, King Kamos rinsed his mouth with wine several times after returning, and then he recovered.Priest Shamash, who didn't follow to pick up the people and didn't see this scene, was baffled. He didn't know what happened to this wayward majesty. He actually used the precious wine as mouthwash.

After all, what can be presented to the king are top-notch fine wines, which ordinary people can't see.

However, even after rinsing his mouth, King Kamos still vomited when he thought of what Garlan said.

However, the person who said that was his beloved little brother. For the lion king who vowed to reprimand his brother who slipped out of the palace one second, and put his arms around his own brother who is not spoiled by his own brother the next second, it is very difficult to punish the little brother. Brother Wang is impossible, even in this lifetime.

Therefore, King Kamos, who was in a bad mood, took his anger out on other people.

Gore was flogged and then, along with his parents, stripped of their titles of nobility and reduced to pariahs.

Although he didn't lose his life, for Gore, being a pariah like a garbage bug in his eyes was more painful than killing him.

The head of the Xicheng Guard was demoted and lost the real power to command the city guard.At the same time, a large number of officials fell from their horses one after another, pulled out radishes and brought out mud, and dug out a bunch of nobles who often poked behind the back of King Kamos to make troubles.

After all, King Kamos spends at least half of the year at war. Therefore, these nobles are usually as honest as a baby when Kamos is in the king's city. nature.

In fact, for this feast in the slums, they planned to wait for King Kamos to go out for a while before they lifted their masks and had a full meal, taking away all the wealth of those untouchables and turning them all into their own slaves.For so many years, some of the inspectors directly under the jurisdiction of King Kamos in the royal city have been bribed and corrupted by them.

All of a sudden, there was a bloody purge in the royal city. Seeing that several colleagues would be dragged out to be severely punished every day, all the noble officials were extremely frightened.

However, they were the only ones who were terrified. For the common people, seeing those powerful figures who used to be invincible in the past fell down one after another, it all became gossip after dinner, and they discussed it with gusto.

For the untouchables in the slums, it was even more jubilant. All the money they were forced to borrow at the beginning did not have to be repaid. Their great and just King Kamos sent envoys here, in front of them. All the IOUs taken out of the sealed money bank were burned.

At that time, many people cried and kowtowed, desperately thanking Wang for his kindness.

When they heard that the newly built house would still be given to them as promised, everyone cheered. For a while, the slums were as joyous as a festival, full of joy.

And not long after that, a story about their young little prince visiting the slums alone and fighting against corrupt officials secretly began to spread among the untouchables... At first, it seemed to be from a tall and thin boy. from.

Later, this interesting rumor caught the attention of a bard. After inquiring about it in detail, he compiled it into a poem and sang it out.

The bard did not expect that his sudden rise would allow his name to be passed down for thousands of years because of this poem.

It is also famous in history.

…………

Although the purge made some people in the royal court tremble and sleep uneasy, but for others, it was very happy.

All the Shamash priests are in that part.

Integrity, impartiality, honesty, and integrity are the teachings of Shamash, the sun god who is also the god of justice and the god of judgment. All the priests of Shamash strictly abide by this teaching.To them, therefore, embezzlement and bribery were great sins, but attempting to deceive the Holy and High King, and perverting his orders, was an unforgivable sin.

Their greatest hope is that the sky and the earth will be clear wherever the light of the sun god shines, and that all corrupt officials should be severely punished, and they should all be killed.

Shemuer, as one of them, is naturally very satisfied with this cleansing.

Well, as expected, Prince Garlan is favored by the goddess of luck.

he thought with satisfaction.

Then, he will not severely reprimand the prince for sneaking out of the palace this time.

Therefore, when Ximuer met Garlan, he just said a few words to him symbolically, and then let it go.

This made Garlan, who was ready to be severely reprimanded by Ximuer, startled, and couldn't understand why Ximuer suddenly changed his temper and became so talkative.

Then, he opened his mouth and watched Shemuer hurried away in a daze.

"Huh? It's probably because Mr. Ximuer is busy investigating the criminal evidence of the Chief Secretary and others, so he is very busy now."

To the little prince's bewilderment, the female officer Taputi replied with a smile.

As far as she knew, all Shamash priests were of the type whose fighting power exploded instantly once they encountered corrupt officials.

At this moment, she is holding an emerald green malachite comb, gently combing the little prince's hair.

The snow-white skin of the child who just finished bathing is like milk, and there is still a little pink smoked by the heat in the milky white, so tender that it seems to be able to drip water, people can't help but want to poke it .

The light golden hair has been carefully dried, soft and smooth, it feels like fine velvet, delicate and soft, and when it is scattered, it seems that the rustling sound of the hair can be heard when it falls.

It has a nice light golden sheen in soft lighting.

The magistrate caressed the little prince's satin-smooth pale blond hair, loving it.

She thought, such beautiful blond hair, if it can grow long, it must look good.

As soon as this thought came to her, she couldn't help imagining how the little prince's long pale golden hair fell down on his snow-white shoulders.

…………

OK, so it's decided.

Taputi, who had made up her mind, happily made a decision.

Even if it is coaxing and cheating, the little prince should have long hair.

Taputi put down the malachite comb, and then picked up a box of jade on the table.

As soon as it was opened, there was a translucent milky white liquid inside, and a scent of medicine came out. It was a good ointment for removing scars and scars. The effect was really good. The little prince's burn scar that she had been worried about did not happen. It happened, the back and calves are almost gone, only a little pink trace remains on the nape of the neck.

She hadn't used this ointment for a while, and this time, she took it out again.

She gently applied the ointment to the scabbed scar on Garlan's arm.

Although Garlan felt that this small injury was really unnecessary, he knew that he was no match for the female officer, so he obediently let Tapu wipe it off.

While applying the medicine, Taputi couldn't help talking.

"Your Highness Garlan, you are still taking too much risk."

She said, "You are a prince, how noble, how can you do such a dangerous thing?"

"Even if you encounter such a thing, if you want to help those untouchables, you should put your own safety first. After all, you are still young."

Holding the medicine box, Taputi looked at Garlan and said.

"At that time, you should return to the palace first and tell King Kamos to send someone to investigate."

"But in that case, after a long time, as long as those people do some tricks, they won't be able to find out anything, right?"

Garlan said, tilting his head to look at Taputi and laughing.

"Anyway, even if I'm caught, I'll be beaten at best."

No matter what that Gore was, he didn't have the guts to kill another nobleman in the royal city, at most he would beat them up to warn them.

If Heymos and Keyhos didn't arrive in time, he was ready to be beaten.

The kid smiled brightly at his mistress.

He said: "I was beaten a few times, but it saved the lives of many people. It was worth it."

Taputi paused for breath.

Those people are just lowly untouchables.

She wanted to say so.

Everyone believes that even the lives of thousands of untouchables are not as good as a single hair of a noble prince-even the untouchables themselves think so.

Therefore, Taputi could not understand the prince's words, nor could he understand the prince's actions.

She was very confused by this.

this is not right.

Her education had been telling her so.

However, when she met Prince Garlan's eyes, for some reason, she couldn't say the words 'Prince, you did something wrong and you shouldn't do it'.

Suddenly, she suddenly remembered the words she heard when she went to the temple of the sun god Shamash to listen to the teaching of the old high priest.

【The sun god Shamash is impartial and selfless. 】

【Even if they are lowly pariahs and filthy slaves, he is still willing to shine light on them, giving them light and warmth. 】

The little prince looked up at her, his golden eyes seemed to have flowing light, as bright as the sun in a cloudless clear sky.

…………

Just when Taputi was in a daze, someone suddenly came in and took the medicine box in her hand.

The female officer raised her head, and the figure of the black-haired boy came into her eyes.

She frowned subconsciously, but still stood up calmly, and bowed her head to the boy with impeccable etiquette.

"Prince Heymos."

Heymos hummed, which was a response.

"Let me do it."

As he spoke, he sat down directly, applied the ointment on the bruise on Garlan's shoulder, and rubbed the milky white ointment on the bruise with his fingertips one by one.

"pain."

When the bruise was rubbed like this, Garlan immediately cried out in pain, subconsciously trying to hide, but Heymos held it down.

"If you don't rub it, it will hurt longer."

Heymos, who is very good at this kind of bruises, naturally knew that it would be hot and painful when he rubbed the bruises with medicine, so he coaxed Garlan while pressing him.

"Good, it won't hurt in a while."

Because he had to hold the struggling Garlan, Heymos forcibly held the child from behind with one hand, as if he was forcibly holding the little Garlan in his arms.

The corner of Miss Taputi's mouth twitched, and she reached out to take back the ointment from Prince Heymos without thinking about being rude.

"Prince Heymos." She said with a dark face, "This is an ointment for removing scars, and it is useless for dispelling stasis."

Therefore, please let go of Prince Garlan.

now--

immediately--

immediately--

However, Heymos didn't seem to understand the hint in the female officer's words at all, and when he heard that it was for removing scars, he seemed to remember something, and his eyes fell on the back of Garlan's neck.

There is a pale pink mark on the back of the neck where it connects to the shoulders.

At first glance, it looks like a small cherry blossom dotted on the white and tender skin, which is indescribably beautiful.

Heartbroken, and unable to explain why, Heymos poked lightly on the pink mark.

The child in his arms struggled immediately.

"Don't touch it, itchy!"

Garlan grunted and struggled, for some reason, the back of the neck became extremely sensitive after the injury healed, and it itched badly when touched.

Although he struggled hard, Heymos held him with one arm, and he couldn't break free. Instead, his little head dangled in Heymos' arms, and his hair kept brushing Heymos' neck and chin.

The itchy feeling on his neck and face as if he was being scratched by a feather made the corners of the boy's lips rise unstoppably.

He hugged the child in his arms, lowered his head slightly, and let his cheek rest on the soft blond hair.

"Well, it's very itchy."

He smiled and said, with his face sideways, his raised lips were so close that he seemed to be kissing the blond hair of the child in his arms.

Garlan turned to look at him, his big eyes blinked slightly, and his eyelashes were so long that they seemed to be able to touch the ends of his hair.

Heymos put his arms around Garlan, the jet-black hair as deep as the night sky scattered from the corners of his smiling eyes, and entangled with Garlan's bright pale golden hair.

His dark brown hands held small white ones.

night and day.

black and white.

Those colors should be extremely opposite, but at this moment, for some reason, they give people an indescribable harmony, as if they were born to be intertwined.

…………

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

Ahhh, she really doesn't like this Prince Heymos very much.

The above is the slander of the female officer standing aside expressionlessly, clutching the pill box in her hand tightly at this moment.
