A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Garlan was a little skeptical at first, thinking that Heymos was probably unwilling to speak out about his love affair, but seeing Heymos' denial so categorically, he even swore to Shamash directly. It really didn't look like a lie, so I believed it.

Thinking about it carefully, Heymos was right. After all, he was Aaron Landis' VIP, and it would be embarrassing for him to refuse something in public. To save the face of the other party, it would be better to refuse in private.

And Heymos also said that tomorrow he will go to the Tasdar man to make it clear and return the gem.

Garlan couldn't help shaking his head when he thought of the burning eyes of the brown-haired man who had been staring at this side during the banquet.

Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless.

No way, after all, Aaron Landis doesn't have that kind of custom, and Heymos doesn't like men either.

But in this way, he also heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he could continue to hope that Heymos would marry a wife and have children.

He thought that Heymos was in his 20s, that day should be coming soon, and he should not be far away from the day of liberation.

"Wait a minute, I'll take you back."

"Ah? No need."

Garland said, "I'm pretty good at sneaking in."

"It's not that easy now."

Heymos said, glancing at the teenager who knew nothing about it.

"For some special reason, the palace is on emergency alert tonight. It should be after you sneaked out. If you go back now, you will find that the number of patrols near your palace has more than doubled than usual." He said Say, "Are you sure you can sneak in without my help?"

Gallan: "..."

I'm afraid not.

So, he nodded obediently.

Heymos smiled and said, "I'm going to change my clothes first, you wait for me here."

He had trained intensively just now, and his clothes were almost drenched with sweat, so he naturally had to change them first.

Garlan watched Heymos enter the room. He was sitting by the stone table, bored, he reached out to pick up the long sword that Heymos had just casually placed on the table to play with.

As soon as he picked it up, his hand immediately sank. Fortunately, he quickly held it up with the other hand, so that the long sword did not fall.

This sword is so heavy!

He thought about it, and when he looked again, the blade didn't seem to be sharpened, but even if it wasn't sharpened, such a heavy weight, like a hammer, would probably crack the stone table if it fell down all at once.

Does Heymos train with such a heavy sword every day?

... No wonder he is so powerful, his arms are so strong.

Garlan glanced at his own slender arm, sighed silently in his heart, and put the sword back on the table.

He felt that he had eaten a lot, but he didn't know why his body couldn't get stronger. He also often practiced martial arts with Xie Muer. Although he had gained some thin muscles over the years, compared to Hey Moss is really far from it.

Therefore, all along, Xie Muer taught him the martial arts of fighting with others in the style of agility, and also trained his agility.

After so many years, he can fight against three grown men by himself.In fact, among the noble children of the same age, his combat power is not bad, but compared with the group of perverts like Heymos, Shemur, and King Kamos who can easily fight ten of them... …

Don't compare, the more you compare, the more frustrated you become.

Anyway, he doesn't need to go to the battlefield in the future, he just travels around the mainland, and his abilities should be enough.

Even if he meets a powerful one, tsk, he's not stupid, won't he run away if he can't beat him?

Thinking of this, Garlan felt a little thirsty, just as there was a jade pot and several cups on the table.

He poured a little and tasted it. It was sweet and sour, it seemed to be fruit juice, and it was quite delicious, so he drank several cups in one go.

When Heymos came out after changing into dry clothes, he was taken aback when he saw Garlan drinking from the jug, and immediately walked over quickly, snatching the cup from Garlan's hand.

But it was too late, the boy looked up at him, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were in a daze.

"Heymos, you are so mean."

Garlan tilted his head, looked at Heymos with dissatisfaction and said.

He raised his hand, originally intending to point to Heymos.But for some reason, the hand didn't listen, and the fingertips poked Heymos' chest all at once, and the places where they poked were all tight muscles, which were so hard that his fingers ached.

"pain……"

The boy with flushed cheeks muttered, with a displeased expression on his face, he poked it hard a few more times.

"Why do you practice so hard here, it doesn't feel comfortable at all."

Appears to be drunk.

Holding Garlan's hand that kept poking at his chest, Heymos thought helplessly.

He has a sweet tooth, so in order to please him, some people brought him this sweet fruit wine that tasted like fruit juice.

Garlan must have drunk a lot of it as fruit juice.

The white face of the young man who was holding his hand was like a peach blossom in full bloom at the moment, flushed, and he tilted his head to look at him.

That ignorant little appearance makes people feel pity at a glance.

The boy tilted his head and looked at him for a while, then suddenly threw himself on him, hugging him tightly and not letting go.

"It's not fair..." Garlan muttered, "Every...every time...why do you grow so tall?"

Garlan's 'every time' was very vague, Heymos didn't hear it clearly, he only heard the latter sentence.

Immediately, Heymos laughed.

When he left four years ago, Garlan, who was still a child, was quite resentful about his stagnant height. Now that he has finally grown taller, it seems that Garlan is still very dissatisfied.

"You're still young." Heymos put his arms around the man in his arms and coaxed him softly, "You'll grow taller."

He looked at Garlan with extremely soft eyes.

The golden hair refracted the moonlight, and that light reflected into his eyes, making his eyes bright when looking at Garlan.

"You lied, you were obviously taller than me when I was my age..."

Garlan hummed softly in his arms, very dissatisfied.

Heymos smiled, patted Garlan's head, and with a little force in his hands, he hugged Garlan up.

The boy who was suddenly picked up by him seemed a little dazed, nestled in his arms, looked at him with misty golden eyes, with a somewhat confused expression, that cute little appearance made the hearts of those who looked at him soft a pool of water.

He coaxed the boy softly and said, "It's too late, can you sleep here with me tonight?"

So drunk, it was a bit difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the patrol team several times.

Heymos thought.

It's better to let Garlan rest at his place tonight, and let the attendant tell Mistress Taputi tomorrow morning.

In this way, if that Oppada really wanted to break into Garlan's palace secretly, it would only come to nothing.

Well, it is indeed a bit difficult to send the drunk Garlan back.

With Heymos' skill, it's actually just a little bit.

Naturally, the drunk boy would not protest the decision Heymos made on his own.

He nestled obediently in Heymos' arms and was carried into the room by him.

Heymos put Garlan on the bed. On the snow-white bed, his long golden hair was scattered.

The young man lying on the bed looked at him, his cheeks were slightly flushed, his golden eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, he looked very much like a white deer looking at him with innocent eyes .

Clean and innocent.

But it makes people unable to control a certain ugly desire in their hearts, wanting to control that beautiful creature in their own hands.

Heymos suddenly thought that if he sent Garlan back and that guy named Oppada really sneaked in, he would be able to see Garlan's current appearance.

His chest tightened inexplicably.

No one else will see it.

he thinks.

He will guard it and never let anyone see it.

He thought, reaching out to hold up a strand of blond hair scattered on the snow-white bed.

The delicate and soft hair slid down from his rough fingertips, like velvet, which made people want to stop.

Lying on the bed, Garlan tilted his head and looked at the tuft of blond hair held by him, suddenly showing an expression of displeasure.

"Too long."

The boy said angrily like a child.

That expression made Heymos couldn't help but smile.

"I don't like it, so why keep it long?"

He remembered that when he left four years ago, although Miss Taputi always wanted Garlan to have long hair, Garlan had always refused to agree.

It now appears that the female officer finally succeeded.

"Because I always get into trouble when I go out, and then Brother Wang told me not to go out..."

The young man pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Taputi said that as long as I grow long hair, I will go to Brother Wang to help me make it clear... so that I can continue to go out..."

Even though he knew that he would bump into something when he went out, he still couldn't hold back.

There is no way, in order to go out to play in the palace, he can only sell his hair.

"very nice."

Heymos said, with a smile in his eyes, softly coaxing the boy who angrily complained about the inconvenience of long hair.

When Garlan got tired of complaining, he stopped talking, and then he patted Garlan's head.

"Go to sleep."

He said softly.

Garlan, who was tired after reading brokenly for a long time, hummed and closed his eyes obediently.

However, just after closing it for a while, he suddenly opened it again.

He stared at Heymos with half-closed eyes, and said, "Heymos, do you have a woman you like?"

He blinked and continued to ask, "Are you going to marry that woman?"

If you have a woman you like, you should marry her quickly and have a child.

Garlan thought with a depressed face.

You see how many years I have been waiting, you are wasting my life.

Only when you marry a wife and have children, I don't have to stay here any longer.

He still wanted to continue to say these words, but a wave of tiredness hit him, he was so sleepy that he couldn't say those few words, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Heymos was taken aback by Garlan's sudden question, but Garlan finished speaking without thinking, and immediately fell asleep.

[Do you have a woman you like?Are you going to marry her? 】

Thinking of Garlan's seemingly depressed and unhappy expression when he asked him, Heymos suddenly moved in his heart.

Which woman did he fall in love with, or which woman did he marry...would it make Garlan unhappy?

Is it because Garlan doesn't like him getting close to others?

……

Is it possible to think that Garlan is actually the same as him, and has a bit of exclusive thoughts on him?

As Heymos thought about it, his mood suddenly brightened.

…………

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

Led by the attendants, the maid walked forward in the palace of Prince Heymos.

Early this morning, Prince Heymos sent his subordinates over to tell the magistrate that Prince Garlan was resting at his side last night.

The maid was standing next to her. When she heard this, she saw that the magistrate was clearly smiling, and for some reason, she exuded a frightening aura.The people around were so frightened that they fell silent for an instant, not daring to utter a breath.

Originally, the lady chief was about to come to pick him up, but at that time, King Kamos sent someone to summon the lady chief.

There is no way, Lord Taputi can only hand over the task of picking up the man to her and several other maids and attendants.

After arriving at the palace of Prince Heymos and reporting her identity, the female officer here conveyed Prince Heymos' order and brought her into the inner palace alone.

She was a little confused and didn't know why.But he didn't dare to talk too much, so he could only follow the other party forward without saying a word.

Bypassing a curved corridor, she was brought into Prince Heymos' bedroom.

As soon as she entered and raised her head, she was stupid on the spot.

On the wide bed in the room, Prince Heymos was lying sideways with his arms around the person in his arms.

His Highness Garlan, whose back was facing her, seemed to be still sound asleep, and his whole body was nestled in Heymos' arms.

From her perspective, she could only see the soft golden hair scattered on the prince's fair and slender shoulders, and the long hair spread out on the snow-white bed, with the ends hanging down from the edge of the bed.

Hymos, who was lying on his side, hugged Garlan, the loose clothes had already slipped off his shoulders, revealing his firm honey-colored upper body, and he didn't seem to care.

The white arms of the sleeping boy rested on the young man's thin brown waist.

He nestled in the other's arms, and seemed to be sleeping soundly, with his head almost resting on the other's arm.

The pair of brown arms hugged him, although they didn't use much force, but somehow it gave people a feeling that the boy was firmly shackled in his arms.

The scene of the white limbs intertwined with the brown body, for some reason, gave people a great sense of shock. The maid felt her brain humming inexplicably, and her face instantly burned like a volcanic eruption. stand up.

She quickly lowered her head, for fear of being seen by others.

She was a little dazed.

I didn't understand why my heart was beating violently all of a sudden, and my face was burning like a fire.

But her rapid heartbeat at this moment is not because of her blushing and heartbeat caused by seeing a handsome man.

It was a horrible palpitation.

She couldn't tell why, but she just felt that she saw a very dangerous scene.

The extreme sense of danger made her unable to restrain the violent beating of her heart.

"You wait there for a while."

Just when the maid was panicking, a voice that was a little hoarse from just waking up came from the front.

"Let Garland sleep for a while."

That deep and hoarse voice revealed a bit of indescribable sex appeal.

The maid took a deep breath, still lowered her head, said yes in a low voice, and then stood there quietly waiting.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that I could hear my own heartbeat.

The maid lowered her head, not daring to look up at the scene that gave her a great shock, but even if she didn't look at it, the scene of the white and brown limbs intertwined inevitably appeared in her mind...

Although it gave her an indescribable sense of danger, but in the name of Avdomir, the goddess of love and beauty...she actually wanted to take a closer look.

However, this silence was quickly broken, and the female officer who came in again after leaving the dormitory leaned over to report to Heymos.

"Your Highness, His Excellency Oppada of Tasda wants to see you." She said, "He is already outside, and he also declared that if you don't go out, he will come in directly."

Heymos, who was leaning on the head of the bed and looked softly at the boy in his arms, paused, but when he raised his head, his eyes became extremely sharp.

Then, he got up with very light movements, got out of bed, and ordered the maid to stand by the bed, then put on a coat that the lady officer brought, and walked out quickly.

It's just that he didn't notice that just as he walked out the door, the boy on the bed over there raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, as if he had woken up.

As soon as he walked out, Heymos frowned.

The young Tasdar man was already standing in the courtyard, and several guards stood beside him, seemingly wanting to stop him but not daring to really attack the distinguished guest.

He raised his hand, making all the people around him back off.

Opada stared sullenly at the prince known as the 'Black Knight'.

Last night, he grabbed a hospitality official from Aaron Landis and asked him about it, only then did he figure out what was going on.

So, early this morning, he unceremoniously came to find someone.

"Give it back to me."

He said bluntly.

Tasdar people have always been straight to the point and straight to the point.

"Prince Heymos, that's not for you."

Opada's expression was cold and hard, and Heymos's expression was not much better.

"I can give it back to you."

He said, "However, I want to remind you that Aaron Landis is different from Tasda. Your rash behavior will only be offensive."

The golden-red eyes narrowed slightly, reflecting the morning sun.

There was a little gleam in the bottom of the eyes, which made the heart chill for no reason.

"So, I suggest you, if you don't want to be disgusting, it's best not to do such things again."

He accentuated his voice, calling out the name of the Tasdar man word by word.

"Lord Opada."

At the moment when the two were facing each other, suddenly, with a snap, the door that Heymos had locked tightly was pushed open from the inside.

Garlan ran out from inside with a patter.

"Opada?"

He stared wide-eyed at the Tasdar across the way.

The messy blond hair was scattered on his shoulders, and the boy obviously ran out before he had time to change his clothes.

He stood in front of Oppada and looked up at him.

He asked, "Are you Oppada?"

Garlan stared at the Tasdar in surprise and eagerness and asked.

He didn't notice at all, Heymos, who was standing beside him, instantly turned black.

…………

In previous lives, Tasdar had severed ties with Aaron Landis.

The reason for the severance of diplomatic relations was that the Tasda mission was attacked by Aaron Landis' thieves on the way back to Tasda from the king's city, and none of the Tasdas survived.

General Tasdar, who lost his beloved son and the most valued successor, was extremely angry and immediately led his troops to attack Aaron Landis. Although he was finally repelled by King Kamos, the two countries have changed from friendly relations to friendship. sworn enemy.

The young man who was regarded as the successor of the next General Tasda by all Tasdar people, but was accidentally attacked and died was called Oppada.
