A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The guards were divided into two groups, one group escorted the Tasda mission and helped them transport the remains of their dead compatriots back, and the other group naturally escorted the two princes Aaron Landis back to the royal city.

Ever since he remembered what happened in his previous life, a string in Garlan's mind was always tensed during the journey with the Tasdar Mission.Now, as soon as the matter was over, he immediately relaxed.

Although it was a bit of a miscalculation, he kept most of the Tasda people anyway, especially the most critical Oppada, so that Aaron Landis and Tasda would not face each other .

On the way back, Garlan seemed a lot more relaxed. It was rare for him to go out and he had nothing to do. Naturally, he didn't want to rush, but wanted to go all the way for fun.

For Garlan's idea, the fat Tal, who is also very playful, naturally agreed with both hands. After all, he was regarded as the king of the king and half a dude, and he began to propose various suggestions to Garlan with great interest, such as where What delicious and interesting information.

In a word, eat, drink and be merry.

And in this team, the blond knight who could be half the master looked at his little master's reluctance to leave, thought for a while, and stuffed the letter from King Kamos urging him to take Garlan back as soon as possible.

And the other Prince Heymos who can call the shots, for some reason, was a little absent-minded along the way, as if he had something on his mind, and didn't care about the slow speed of the team at all.

As a result, the team stopped and stopped along the way, at an extremely slow speed.

On this day, the group stopped near a small town named Nuoer.

Because Tal told Garlan that although this city called Nuoer is small, it is very famous. Its agriculture and industry and commerce are not developed, but it is still very prosperous, because there is a mountain pine forest near the city of Nuoer, and deep in the mountain pine forest On the other hand, there is a continuous hot spring lake, which attracts many people.

King Kamos sometimes comes here to relax, Tal said.

Therefore, as soon as the evening came, Garlan couldn't wait to lead a group of people to kill there.

At the top of the mountain pine forest, there is a small hot spring lake with the most suitable temperature and the best scenery.

That place is usually forbidden for anyone to enter, it is a forbidden area, and it will only be opened when King Kamos comes.As the most beloved younger brother of King Kamos, Garlan naturally easily entered the so-called forbidden area.

The sun has not completely set the horizon, but the wind has picked up slightly, blowing the pine forest and making a rustling sound.

Garlan soaked in the water, only feeling that his tired body was completely healed.

The temperature of this so-called mountain hot spring is actually not high, just a little hot, but in Aaron Landis, where the seasons are like spring, the temperature is just right, and it is the most comfortable temperature for people to completely relax their bodies.

Most of the boy's body was submerged in the lake water, and his arms were lying on the smooth white stone by the lake.

He tilted his head and rested his arms on his arms, his pale golden hair spread out on the white stone, and half of it was immersed in the clear water.

He lay there lazily, half-closed his eyes, with a contented expression on his face.

The fair skin was slightly powdered by the warm water.

There was a sudden movement by the quiet lake, Garlan raised his lazily drooping eyelashes, and a familiar figure came into his line of sight.

Slender body, fit body.

Heymos, who took off his black leather armor and a tight suit, walked in wearing an extremely loose dress, his brown skin glowing with a honey-colored luster in the afterglow of the setting sun.

He doesn't look strong when he is wearing a strong suit. Compared with Opada, he looks a little thin, but when he takes off the clothes, he reveals sharp muscles, like a leopard in the jungle. Those tight muscles There is a terrible power under it.

Just when he was bored, Garlan lay down on the stone, his eyes swept Heymos from top to bottom.

Well, looking at his face, he is undoubtedly a handsome man.

Look at the figure, broad shoulders and narrow waist, slender limbs, every part of the body has distinct muscles, including arm muscles, pectoral muscles, and abdomen... Oh, I can't see this, but it should be there.

And those long legs.

He is obviously about the same height as Opada, but when standing together, Heymos' legs are a bit longer than Opada.

Garlan looked at it and wondered.

You said that such a handsome man is still a prince with a good figure. It stands to reason that there should be a large number of bees and butterflies rushing towards him, right?Even if it's not that exaggerated, why should there be so many confidante who admire him?

But why is Heymos still single?

Garlan was pondering this in his heart, completely unaware that his staring at Heymos made Heymos look unnatural, and turned his head sideways.

He took a breath to calm himself down.

Then, he continued to maintain a nonchalant appearance, walked to the side of Garlan, walked into the warm lake water, and then sat in the lake water leaning on the white stone beside him.

Then, he just leaned against the stone wall and closed his eyes, with a calm expression, as if he was resting with his eyes closed.

"Heymos."

Suddenly there was a shout from the side, Heymos didn't move, but if you looked carefully, you could find that the eyelashes of his closed eyes moved invisibly.

After a while, he responded lightly.

"Ok?"

"You are already in your 20s, don't you plan to get married?"

"...I don't have any plans for now."

After a pause, Heymos answered.

He still maintained the calm appearance of leaning against the stone wall with his eyes closed, but at this moment, his mood was very restless.

Because he suddenly remembered that since he went to the battlefield in the Northland, he often corresponded with Garlan, and Garlan seemed to always inquire about whether he had a woman he liked and whether he planned to marry a wife. ...as it is now.

"Don't you have a woman you like? Have you met a single one in all these years?"

Heymos opened his eyes and turned his head.

He saw the young man lying on the smooth white stone and looking at him, his amber-like golden eyes were bright, with a look of anticipation.

Logically speaking, for the good of Garlan, he should answer yes, so as to get rid of Garlan's thoughts.

However, as soon as he met those bright golden eyes, for some reason, his brain was a little disobedient, and he replied in a strange way.

"No."

He flatly denied it.

"I haven't considered such a thing for the time being."

As soon as he finished speaking, Heymos turned his head.

Turning his head around, he missed the disappointment that was almost completely revealed on the face of the boy who got his answer.

...So, how long will it take for Heymos to get married and have children?

Garlan, who was wailing so deeply in his heart, turned his head depressedly, pointed the back of his head at Heymos in displeasure, and lay there silent.

Meanwhile, Heymos, who was sitting in the water, was also in a complicated mood.

Obviously just saying "there is a woman I like" will break the boy's mind, but his mouth just doesn't obey, so he just said that kind of words.

What is going on with me?

He recalled that Tasdar man said with certainty, 'You have the same thoughts about Garlan as I do'.

wrong.

Heymos thought.

This is not the case.

He really cared about Garlan and valued Garlan very much. It can be said that for him, there is no one more important than Garlan in this world.

But, it shouldn't be that kind of emotion.

My feelings for Garlan... are different from that kind of feelings.

Yes, definitely not the same.

In the barracks of the North, dancers are often called to the banquets held for relaxation between battles.Like everyone else, he is quite moved by the beautiful faces and graceful bodies of those dancers, that is to say, women's bodies are indeed attractive to him.

Although he will restrain himself, the young and vigorous he will indeed be lustful for those women.

Therefore, he should be just like everyone else, only interested in women.

Heymos exhaled lightly.

He thought that it was probably because he cared too much about Garlan and made it too obvious that the Tasdar man got it wrong.

Thinking of this, he turned his head again and looked at the people around him.

The warm lake water raised a little mist on the surface of the water.

With his back to him, the young man was lying on the smooth white stone by the lake with his head on his side and his arms on his side.

The lake water is very clear, and the young man's body in the water can be clearly seen. Although it looks a little slender, it has a thin layer of muscles, showing more and more graceful lines like a white deer elf.

Because he was lying on his stomach, his upper body was above the water surface, but the loose clothes on his body were soaked, sticking wetly to his body.

In the shallow mist, the clothes were soaked and translucent.

It is tightly attached to the boy's skin, while fully showing the boy's beautiful body curves, it also makes the powdery white skin under the translucent fabric faintly visible in the scattered light golden hair...

Take a breath.

Heymos felt his mind stop for a second.

He turned around sharply and closed his eyes.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on his brown side cheeks, and he didn't know that there was a blush that suddenly appeared on his cheeks.

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

In the middle of the night, in the most beautiful little castle in Nuoer City, everyone was asleep.

The cold moonlight shone into the room through the skylight, and shone on the sleeping black-haired young man lying sideways on the bed.

He didn't know what he dreamed of in his sleep, his thin lips were tightened a little bit, and even his originally steady breathing became a little bit quicker.

……

Bright sunlight flooded the earth.

The olive tree swayed in the wind, and the small white flowers scattered all over the sky like snow.

The pale golden long hair that melted like gold scattered all over the green grass, and the slender boy sat on the green velvet.

Among the falling petals, many of them are blurred and cannot be seen clearly.

A little dazed, a little dazed, not knowing where I am.

But suddenly, the boy looked up at him.

That glance, and the bright blush between the brows, inexplicably made people palpitate to the extreme——

It seems that there is a crackling sound coming from the deepest part of the body——

At this moment, suddenly, a thick fog rose, covering everything in the world in an instant.

The mist is hazy, covering the world.

Can't see anything, can't see anything clearly.

Then, suddenly the sound of water was heard.

Amidst the sound of running water, the mist dissipated little by little.

By the clear water of the lake, the boy was sitting there.

Stretch your calf into the lake water, put your hands on your sides, and turn your back to him.

He could only see the boy's back and the loose blond hair.

Water dripped from smooth blonde hair.

Perhaps because he just got up from the water, the boy's clothes were dripping wet, and the wet and translucent cloth stuck tightly to his skin.

The wet blond hair fell down, around the nape of the snow-white neck, and fell over the shoulders.

Under the transparent fabric, the young man's fair skin is looming.

A touch of pink dotted the back of the neck, inexplicably alluring to the extreme——

…………

Everything seems to have reached the limit at this moment.

Something crumbled, torn apart in an instant.

The magma buried deep in the thick earth boiled up.

For a long time, they have been brewing in the depths of the earth, suppressed, and unknown.

Not even their owners know they exist.

Suddenly one day, a certain part of the hard earth burst suddenly, and a trace was opened.

It was like a breach in a bank.

The unknown magma that was buried deep in the ground stirred at this moment and burned violently, as if igniting and burning the entire earth.

Everything was out of control in an instant, they were crazily burning, gushing, surging out——

…………

The sleeping black-haired youth suddenly opened his eyes, and the moonlight in the room seemed to tremble for an instant.

He jerked up and sat up on the bed, breathing heavily.

In the golden red eyes, the pupils dilated slightly.

His face was extremely red at this moment, and it even spread to the base of his ears.

Although he didn't lift the blanket, he could feel some wet traces on the strange part of his body under the thin layer of blanket.

He froze for a long while.

After a long time, he raised his hand and pressed half of his face.

The redness at the base of his ears had spread to the back of his neck.

"...just kidding..."
