A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The extremely elastic chest was pressed tightly against Garlan's shoulders, although wearing leather armor is not very soft, but even so, he has lived for several lifetimes and is still a virgin without even a first kiss - Hui The fair face of Moss's boy whom he didn't recognize—was flushed.

A beige hand covered his mouth, and his face was stinging a little with callused rough fingers.

The woman behind him was a head taller than him, with one arm tightly around his neck, and she was no less powerful than a man in terms of strength.

When Garlan subconsciously grasped the arm that strangled him, his fingers could even clearly feel the tense muscles on the woman's forearm.

The tall woman just covered his mouth like this, standing against the wall by the window, looking sideways at the noisy city guards below from the open window.

The infiltration went smoothly, but the companion on the other side accidentally exposed her whereabouts and caused a commotion. She had just climbed halfway along the high wall of the tower and fell into a dilemma.

If the guards below looked up and found her presence, as long as they fired a volley of bows and arrows, even she couldn't escape.

Just as she was thinking quickly, there was a movement below, and a window was pushed open.

Without thinking about it, she turned over and jumped into the room.

As soon as she entered, she realized that she had inadvertently broken into the room of Prince Aaron Landis who was said to have come to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Shamash Temple.

Covering the mouth of the boy in her arms tightly, the woman frowned. She had no intention of offending the prince, but now, due to the accident, she has no other choice for the time being.

She looked down at the scene outside the window, checking to see if her companion had been caught.

At this moment, there were two knocks, the door was knocked, and a voice came in.

"Prince Garlan, there has been some commotion in the mansion. It seems that someone has sneaked in."

The voice of the blond knight came from outside the door.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late, but how are you now?"

The whole woman tensed up.

Although she is a strong warrior, many men have died under her arrows and javelins, and she has never been afraid of anyone, but at this moment in this mansion, the last person she wants to fight is the man who lives up to her reputation. Rider of the Sun.

That man is strong.

This is her innate intuition as a warrior.

The back of her hand was patted lightly, she looked down, and saw the young man held by her raised his head, looked at her with golden eyes like translucent amber, patted her hand covering his mouth again, and then pointed He pointed to the door.

She hesitated, but the knocking sounded again.

"Prince? Are you awake?"

The knocking on the door has become urgent.

If he continued to respond, the knight would probably sense something was wrong immediately and break into the door.

She gritted her teeth and slowly let go of her hand.But the arm that strangled the boy's neck in his arms became more and more forceful, as long as the boy made any abnormal movements...

"Kayhors, what's the matter?"

Garlan's voice stopped the knocking on the door abruptly.

"Something happened in the mansion, let me come and see you."

"I'm fine, you go back and rest."

"Prince, I want to confirm your safety with my own eyes, can I come in?"

The female warrior became nervous again, her fingers clasped Garlan's shoulders tightly.

"No, I'm fine."

"But……"

Garlan raised his voice impatiently, as if his sleep was disturbed and he was in a bad mood.

"Are you annoying? I told you I'm fine! Don't disturb my rest, get out!"

"........."

After his reprimand, there was a short silence, and then the knight's voice came from the door.

"I was the one to be rude, Your Highness," he said.

The sound of footsteps at the door gradually receded, and the tense heart of the female soldier eased slightly.

She pricked up her ears and carefully discerned the movement at the door.

It was quiet there, without a single sound, obviously the knight really left.

"Prince of Aaron Landis, I didn't mean to hurt you."

A deep female voice sounded in the silent room.

She said: "Wait a little longer, I will leave as soon as it calms down."

Garlan, who was tightly strangled by her, turned his head to look at her, staring at her with a pair of big eyes.

Suddenly, it bent slightly, into the arc of a crescent moon.

She was taken aback by the boy's sudden smile, and at this moment, a wind suddenly came from behind.

A big hand struck from behind, pressing down on her shoulder, with a sudden force.

If she hadn't reacted quickly, shrinking her shoulders and turning to one side, that arm might have been removed.

But as soon as she dodged like this, the boy who was strangled by her naturally took the opportunity to break free from her grasp.

However, the female warrior couldn't care less about catching Garlan at this moment.

The blond knight's attack has come like a storm, she must concentrate all her energy to fight, otherwise she will lose if she is not careful.

After an agile backflip, dodging the opponent's attack, she rushed up immediately.

The two fought together, punching and kicking. The female warrior was agile and did not lose strength. For a while, she was on par with Kaihos.

Garlan, who was standing next to her, was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this female warrior would be able to fight Kayhos head-on, and she wouldn't lose in a short time.

However, even if the female warrior is extremely strong, she is still inferior to Kehuos after all.

Keyhos avoided a side kick from her, looked at the right moment, reached out, and grabbed the war bow she carried behind her back.

Backhand twist.

The female warrior subconsciously turned her head to stop him from snatching her war bow, but Kaihos took the opportunity to wrap a set of war bows around her neck.

Just a moment ago, she was strangling Garlan's neck from behind.

At this moment, she was strangled by someone from behind with a bowstring around her neck.

The strength of the twisted bowstring was much stronger, and after a while, her face turned purple.

"Kayhors."

Garlan shouted in a low voice, and threw the rope to his knight.

Keyhos raised his hand to catch it, and then tied the female warrior tightly.

The bound female warrior was forced to sit cross-legged on the ground, staring at Kayhos as if breathing fire.

"Why are you here?"

Kyhoes pointed to the window.

"Same as you, came in from there."

That's why he was able to sneak attack from behind the female warrior standing with his back to the window.

"..."

But just now the prince of Aaron Landis scolded him and left.

She frowned and thought about it for a while, but she really couldn't think of any flaws in the boy's words just now.

The knight she was staring at angrily had already turned his gaze to Garlan, and looked him up and down carefully.

"Prince, are you all right?"

"I'm fine, she didn't hit me hard."

"That's good."

"You react very quickly."

The blond knight smiled.

"After all, this is the first time I have been reprimanded by Your Highness in so many years."

After following Prince Garlan for so many years, it was the first time he heard the prince's stern tone.

He immediately realized that something was wrong, so he pretended to leave first, and then, like the night before, climbed over the wall and rolled over through the window.

The two ended their conversation and turned their attention to the bound female warrior.

The female warrior was tied with a brown ponytail. She was tall and her complexion was obviously exposed to the sun frequently, showing a healthy bronze luster.

Her hands and feet are long and strong, she is wearing black leather armor, her eyebrows are clear, there is no trace of weakness between her brows, but heroic.Even as a captive, he straightened his back and showed no fear on his face.

"Kayhors, do you know who she is?"

Garland asked.

Keyhos stroked his chin.

"I don't know, but at least it can be judged that she and the consul are not in the same group."

The chaotic and noisy guards outside seemed to be trying to catch this female warrior and her companions.

The female warrior's gaze was as cold as ice.

She said: "That kind of filthy man stains my eyes even if he takes one more look."

After thinking for a while, Garlan knelt down in front of the female warrior, and looked directly into her eyes.

"At the banquet a few days ago, did you also sneak in here dressed as a dancer?"

He asked, "So, you will know me."

He has only been in Tozes for a few days, and he has not seen many people at all. Even when he goes out, he is heavily protected by the army, and others can't see his appearance at all.

But the warrior woman knew he was a prince the first time she saw him.

Come to think of it, the cold snort he heard at the banquet and what he saw in the evening was her.

The female soldier looked at him blankly, obviously not answering him.

There was a bit of arrogance and stubbornness in her brows, and it seemed that she was ready to resist stubbornly.

Garlan continued: "The way you call me the prince of Aaron Landis... It seems that you are not from Aaron Landis."

The female warrior's pupils contracted slightly, she seemed to want to say something, but she forcibly held back, still not saying a word.

On the other hand, Kaihos, who was on the side, was startled when he heard this, as if he suddenly remembered something, he picked up the war bow that was on the table.

He looked at the bow carefully for a while, and after confirming the subtle and special features, his eyes became sharp in an instant.

He turned his head and looked at the female warrior with burning eyes.

"Elson's female warrior?"

He asked in a deep voice, and without waiting for the other party to refute, he waved the bow in his hand.

"The bow used by Elson female warriors is slightly different from ordinary bows in order to be more suitable for female warriors."

"Very few people know about it, why do you know?"

Seeing that she couldn't deny it, the female soldier gritted her teeth.

"I've met an Elson warrior woman before."

The female warrior was silent for a while, then finally nodded.

"You're right, I'm from Eilson."

she admitted.

Elson?

Garlan's eyes lit up, and he sized up the female warrior curiously.

Is this the rumored female warrior Elson?

There is no rival to the south of Aaron Landis. There are only a few small countries with islands, and Eilson is one of them.

It is a small country consisting of several islands in the sea.

In fact, it cannot be regarded as an official country internationally, because although it claims to be a country, the surrounding countries do not recognize it.

The reason why this small country is extremely famous and not recognized by other countries around it is because it is very special.

It is a country made up only of women.

Women in this country have received strict training since childhood, and women who can become female warriors are brave and skilled fighters, not inferior to men at all, and even far better than male soldiers in other countries.

They are good at bows and arrows, with superb archery skills, mainly in the navy, and are good at naval battles. They can also fight with round shields and javelins, and they have always been extremely brave in boarding battles.

There are no men in Eilson's country. After the female warriors reach adulthood, they will go out to find a brave man they recognize, live together for a period of time, and return to Eilson after confirming their pregnancy.

After giving birth to girls, they will stay, and boys will be sent back.

Garlan was looking curiously at the rumored female warrior Elson, while Kayhos had already narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Eirson's female warriors, why did you infiltrate Tozes City? Not only infiltrated the government, but also intended to hold our prince hostage—your behavior can already be regarded as a provocation to Aaron Landis."

He stared at the female warrior and said.

"Or, you, Elson, want to go to war with Aaron Landis?"

"The Elsons have always been aboveboard in war. If there is a war, we will fight it head-on."

The female soldier Elson replied coldly.

"I don't want to provoke a war between the two countries. It is my personal business to come here."

"I can't be convinced without enough reason."

The female soldier gritted her teeth, looking very hesitant.

However, despite the reputation of the Allson female warrior, the situation in the Allson country is not very good.

Due to the special national conditions that only women are allowed to exist, neighboring countries regard it as a scourge, refuse to recognize this country, refuse to establish diplomatic relations with it, and even prohibit their own merchants from trading with it.

They can be said to be extremely isolated.

Aaron Landis is the closest big country to Eilson, no matter what, they can't provoke this big country.

After thinking for a while, she stated her purpose.

"I infiltrated Tozeth to save my sister," she said. "She was sold here."

Garlan, who was listening aside, raised his eyebrows.

"Sold to Tozes?"

"Yes, a few months ago, my sister secretly took a boat out to sea without telling us, but the boat was attacked by pirates, and she was also taken away."

Said the female warrior, with anger hidden on her face.

"I tracked down that group of pirates for a long time, and searched everywhere, and finally got the news that she was sold here."

"If it was sold here, you should go to the slave market to find it. Why did you sneak into the executive government?"

"My sister is locked up here!"

The female soldier said firmly.

"In order to save her, my companions and I have stayed in Tozes for a long time. Ordinary slaves will be sold in the slave market, but valuable ones will be kept in a secret place, and an auction will be held every few months."

She sneered at Keyhors with a bad look.

"As for the reason for doing this, you dirty men know for themselves."

she continued,

"I have searched for a long time, sneaked into many places, and finally confirmed not long ago that the secret detention point is here!"

Keyhos thought for a while and raised doubts.

"The period when the prince is here is the time when the guards are the most tightly guarded. Why don't you wait until the prince leaves and the guards are looser before attacking? Do you have to choose the time when the prince is here?"

"no way."

For this, the female warrior is also very depressed.

"Because the monthly auction will be held in two days, once my sister is taken away by someone and leaves Tozes inland, it will be even more difficult for us to rescue her. Therefore, we can only do it today Take the risk to save people at night."

After explaining, she said blankly: "I've finished talking, you can kill or cut as you please, but this is my private matter, just kill me, don't involve Eilson."

After staring into the eyes of the female warrior Elson and confirming that the female warrior was not lying, Kyhos turned his gaze to Garlan.

"prince."

He asked, "Look, how to deal with it?"

Garlan has been holding that war bow and thinking about it since just now, and he can't see the subtle feature that Kehos mentioned.

When Kyhos asked, he turned to look at the female warrior.

The female soldier sat cross-legged on the ground, staring at him, with a resolute look on her face, without fear, but with a bit of regret in her eyes.

Obviously regretting that he failed to rescue his sister.

Garlan smiled at her.

Then, with a clang sound, the side dagger was unsheathed.

The snow-white blade slammed down at the female warrior.

The female warrior's body tensed up suddenly, she clenched her teeth, closed her eyes and waited for death.

But she closed her eyes and waited for a long time, but there was no expected pain.

She opened her eyes strangely, and was shocked to find that the rope that tied her was broken. It was obvious that the boy didn't intend to kill her just now, but just cut the rope that tied her with a sword.

As soon as the female warrior raised her head, she saw the handsome boy squatting in front of her, looking at him with a smile.

"Eirson's female warrior, how about we make a deal?"

"……what?"

The female soldier who experienced life and death in a second was still a little confused.

"You said just now that in order to save your sister, you have been chasing pirates and finally came here, right?"

"Yes."

Garlan nodded.

"Then, I'll help you rescue your sister, and in exchange, give me all the information you've found, whether it's related to pirates or Tozes."

He said, standing up and reaching out to the female warrior who was still sitting on the ground.

"At the same time, how about I forgive you for attacking me?"

The female warrior stared closely at Garlan's eyes.

The boy's eyes were slightly curved, like the bright moon in the night sky, perhaps because of his young age, they were completely different from the eyes of the men she hated.

The boy's eyes were clean and clear.

...The eyes were inexplicably similar to her sister's.

She was silent for a long time, and finally, let out a long breath.

Then she took the hand that the young prince extended to her, and rose to her feet.

"it is good."

She said, "It's a deal!"

…………

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

Let the Elson female soldier pretend to be the personal guard of Kejos, and send her out of the Consulate after dawn tomorrow.

Fortunately, this female warrior is tall and burly, and only a little shorter than Keyhos, so it is not against her at all to dress up as a man.

Well, she really deserves to be the female warrior of Allson, who is known for her toughness and bravery.

Garlan felt so emotional in his heart.

When he thought of being held hostage by the other party, his head only reached the other party's neck... He felt a little stuffed.

However, he should still be in the growth stage, and he can grow taller in the future.

The boy comforted himself in this way.

"Your Highness, what are you going to do?"

Keyhos asked.

"If I lead someone to rescue the girl myself, it's fine, but it will obviously alarm those people."

Garlan turned his head.

The long golden hair was scattered on his shoulders, reflecting the light, extremely bright.

The little prince raised his head, looked at Kaihos with eyes like amber gems, blinked, and suddenly smiled sweetly at him.

The one-eyed knight shivered for no reason.

…………

Two days later, in a hidden auction house on the outskirts of Tozes City, a place that was usually not crowded was crowded with crowds.

It was a small open-air arena with a high platform in the middle and a stepped ring around it, which could accommodate about a hundred people.

Every few months, there will be a special auction that only the powerful are eligible to participate in.At this time, nearly a thousand city guards will be closely guarding the surrounding area.

Those girls and boys with outstanding beauty were brought up to the high platform one by one to show to everyone.

Slave gladiators, who are burly and brave, are also very popular.

Some talented male slaves will also be favored by certain ladies and even men with special hobbies.

On the row of seats closest to the display stand, a big businessman was chatting with the blond knight beside him with a smile.

I have heard the name of this scorching sun knight for a long time. In the past few days, many people tried to send beautiful maids to the knight, but they were all rejected.

The maid sent by the big businessman was also rejected, and when he was thinking about how to win over the knight, Kyhos gave him a little hint.

He said that he had heard that Tozes would hold a special auction every few months, and he was a little interested.

The big businessman suddenly realized.

It seems that this knight doesn't dislike women, but he is very picky and doesn't like vulgar fans.

So, on this day, he brought Keyhos here with a smile on his face.

"Your Excellency Kehos, which one do you like, point it out, no matter how much it is, I will cover it, and treat it as a gift from me."

The big businessman patted his chest and said.

Keyhos nodded politely to him, expressed his thanks, and then turned his gaze to the high platform.

As time passed, the businessman waited for a long time, watching all kinds of beautiful girls or very charming mature women being bought by others one by one, but Kaihos remained silent.

He couldn't help feeling a little puzzled.

Are the Keyhors Cavaliers so picky?

Among them, several of them are so beautiful that even his heart is moved, and he can't see them?

At this moment, Keyhos suddenly moved.

He pointed to the girl who was brought onto the display stand at this moment.

"That's not bad."

He said.

Alas, with this picky gaze, what kind of stunning beauty can make him fall in love with it?

The big businessman thought to himself, and raised his eyes with a smile.

In the next second, his smile froze.

Not only him, but the faces of the people who followed them and heard the knight's words all became strange at this moment.

I saw that the auction item brought to the high platform at this moment was indeed very beautiful, but she was not so much a girl as a girl.

...a beautiful and lovely little girl who is only in her teens.

For a moment, everyone looked at Kaihos in unison.

All of them had strange expressions and subtle eyes.

No wonder I didn't like the beauties sent up, it turned out that it was because of this hobby.

I didn't expect, oh, I didn't expect... This famous knight of the scorching sun is actually such a knight!

The blond knight, who was watched by everyone with delicate eyes, sat there, seemingly indifferent, just looking at the little girl with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

However, only he himself knew that the corners of his slightly raised lips were already stiff at the moment.

His famous name--

Seeing that he was about to be smashed by the pot placed on his back by the prince.

…………

No, no, I can't think that way.

The loyal knight told himself so in his heart.

After all... His little prince asked him to take the blame, can he be called the blame?
