A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Heimos, who had a fight with Keyhos, stopped after seeing Garlan surrounded by the group of guards who rushed in.

He had already heard Camos' questioning voice ringing out in the outer court, followed by hurried footsteps.

Within tens of seconds, Camos would be here, so after Heimos admitted that he had killed the two guards, he did not speak again, nor did he continue to confront Caijos. He just lowered the quilt in his hand. He took the long sword from the guard he killed and cast his eyes on Garlan.

Seeing Gallan sitting on the bed and looking at him, his eyes flickering, apparently thinking quickly about how to explain his identity to everyone, Heimos couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

But then when Keyhos said that he had been by Garlan's side for ten years, his raised lips pursed again, looking a little unhappy.

Not only Nerga, but also Caihos found Garlan before him.

And he has been accompanying Garlan ten years ago.

Although Heymos knew that Kayhos had no memory of that life, he felt uncomfortable just thinking about someone who had been with Garlan for ten years before him.

It was obvious that he was the first to see Garlan two thousand years ago, even earlier than King Camos.

He wanted to be by Garlan's side first than anyone else.

Heimos stared at Keyhos, still unhappy in his heart. The sound of hurried footsteps was getting closer from far away, and a tall figure hurriedly walked in with long strides.

The next second, the two looked at each other.

Kamos's eyes widened suddenly, and his eyes changed violently.

Heimos, on the other hand, was still looking at him with an indifferent expression, and his mood did not fluctuate.

Two thousand years ago, after spending several decades alone, his heart stopped beating and he was as dead as a dead person. He had almost lost all emotions.

No one or anything could cause him any emotional fluctuations.

...Except for the person he placed in the softest place in his heart.

Only in front of that person can his heart come alive again.

However, despite this, Emperor Heimos, who had already experienced thousands of waves, could not help but twitch the corners of his eyes when Camos suddenly laughed and shouted, "Catch him!" one time.

This one... really hasn't changed at all.

Although it is indeed the same person as before, he has been a god for so long anyway, and his temperament is still the same, even the way he protects his cubs is exactly the same.

Seeing that the people around him were about to gather around him, including Kaihos on the opposite side, Heimos' eyes turned cold, and the long sword that had just been lowered was raised in front of him again.

A war is inevitable and about to break out.

Kamos, who was laughing happily on the side, did not hide his proud look, raised his thick eyebrows, and waited with interest to see how delicious it was.

Although he also knew that the current Kaihos and these guards were no match for that guy, but anyway, the guy would definitely not hurt anyone in front of Garlan, so he was naturally happy to watch a good show.

As for how it will end then...well, let's talk about it then.

His Majesty, the Emperor of the Aaron Landis Empire, thought so carelessly.

However, Camos knew that the ferocious wolf was docile and submissive in front of Garlan, but he forgot that he himself was no less generous than Heimos in front of his own royal brother.

"Brother Wang!"

The boy just shouted, and the smile of the Lion King, who was eagerly waiting for the show, froze.

Kamos turned his head and looked at Garlan's golden eyes staring at him. He felt guilty for no reason and his chest was still a little sore.

Well, the whole world is not as big as his brother Wang.

He coughed heavily and immediately changed his words without any stance.

"Well, well, it was just a joke."

He said, raising his hand to signal the people who almost rushed to move away.

"This man is my escort for Garlan."

"His Majesty?"

Kehos asked puzzledly.

Apparently Camos' sudden change of tone made him confused.

"He killed two guards."

This man is a dangerous person, and Caihos is worried about letting him stay in the prince's room no matter what.

"He will take action, which means those two people want to harm Garlan. You should investigate this matter thoroughly first."

Although he was unhappy with the fact that the wolf had taken away his royal brother, Kamos knew Heimos well enough to guess the reason why Heimos committed the murder.

He waved his hand and said, "I said, he is the guard I sent to Garlan."

Kayhos was still a little suspicious, but Heimos suddenly sheathed his sword and stepped forward.

Under Kehos's vigilant gaze and in full view of everyone, he leaned over and knelt on one knee in front of the bed with a calm face, looked up at Garlan, and extended his right hand to the young man who was still sitting on the bed.

That action, no matter how you look at it, is a gesture of serving the master.

Heimos' behavior made Garlan want to laugh, but he still held it back.

He put his hand in the hand of Heimos who stretched out to him, and was helped out of bed by him.

The Lion King smacked his lips in dissatisfaction.

It's really like beating a snake and following the stick.

Gee, this guy must have used these little tricks to coax his younger brother.

However, based on this guy's experience as emperor for decades, he was able to do this without hesitation, and Camos had to be convinced.

"Okay, you guys step back first."

He waved his hand and asked all the guards to leave, including Kehos.

He asked Kayhos to investigate the affairs of the two dead guards first.

When there were only three of them left in the room, Camos crossed his strong arms over his chest and glanced at the two of them carelessly and unabashedly.

"Okay, Garlan, please explain what is going on."

Camos frowned and looked at Heimos.

"He looks different than Cayjos."

Immediately afterwards, Camos heard something that made him, who was once a god, stunned and unable to react for a while.

Is there still such a practice?

he thought in shock.

After Garlan died, he brought Garlan's soul and Nerga back to the present, so he didn't know what happened after that.

The only thing that is known is the death of Heimos after more than thirty years of reigning as recorded in Aaron Landis' royal history book.

Depend on! This guy is actually pretending to be dead!

Camos cursed in his heart.

However, although he was swearing, he had mixed feelings in his heart for a while, and his mood was extremely complicated.

He never expected that Heimos could do this for Garlan.

Two thousand years.

When he first saw Heimos and Garlan's various unhappiness when he was protecting Heimos just now, this moment turned into a sigh of relief in his heart.

Perhaps it was because Heimos's approach was too cruel to himself, so cruel that even Kamos couldn't bear it.

He shook his head.

never mind.

I originally wanted to cause some trouble for this guy so that he wouldn't be able to get close to Garlan so easily.

Considering what he had done for Garlan, he let him go.

Therefore, in the next little while, Camos and Garlan discussed their external rhetoric.

The story finally concocted is...

The former emperor sent Caihos to secretly protect Garlan ten years ago, but in fact, before the former emperor sent Caihos there, he sent another secret guard there first.

It's just that when the secret guard protected Garlan for less than a month, due to an accident, he appeared in front of him to protect Garlan, and was regarded by Garlan as his savior. That's how the two got to know each other.

As a result, the secret guard was quickly recalled to Aaron Landis, and Caihos was sent over again.

In this way, it completes what Garlan just said in public, "This person is my friend", and also explains why Kaihos does not know the existence of this person.

After the secret guard came back, he failed the mission because his identity was exposed. He was punished by the late emperor and was imprisoned in a secret training center. While receiving punishment, he continued to receive special training to improve himself.

After Gallan returned to Aaron Landis, Camos thought it would be better to have someone he knew accompany him, so he sent this secret guard to be the prince's personal guard.

As soon as the secret guard arrived at the prince's palace, he found the two guards sneaking around outside the wall, so he directly dealt with them.

Although Kehos always felt that something was wrong with the above explanation, since His Majesty the Emperor and the Prince had said so, as a subordinate he could not say anything more, and could only stop talking with full of doubts.

Whether it is the emperor's palace or the newly built prince's palace, they are all surrounded and protected by invisible protective barriers built with crystal pillars of Shamash Stone.

There is only one entrance to the barrier, which is the palace gate.

This is why there are guards only at the entrance of the palace, but not the walls around the palace.

Only by wearing the Shamash Stone token, which comes from the same source as the crystal pillars in the palace, can one cross the protective barrier.

Caijos thought that since that man could wear such a token, his loyalty must have been recognized by His Majesty.

...And the fact is that Kamos is also puzzled as to why Heimos can pass through the protective barrier.

He discovered that the power of the Shamash Stone seemed to have no effect on Heimos.

Gallan speculated that it might be because Heimos still had the power of the gods left in him, so the Shamash Stone transformed by the power of the gods had no effect on him.

Camos didn't bother to think too much and accepted this explanation.

But when he thought about it, Heimos could sneak into Garlan's palace anytime and anywhere without any hindrance, and he suddenly felt a little worried again.

Just when the matter here was finally settled, a guard came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the chief priest is here."

Camos smacked his lips at that time.

Kamos had previously gone to Garlan's country for a visit abroad.

When he went to visit, he naturally had to bring his close associates with him, and the chief priest was one of them.

However, halfway through the visit, he sneaked out alone to find Garlan without telling the others, and then brought Garlan directly back to Aaron Landis.

Naturally, he left all the remaining mess to his subordinates, including the chief priest, so the chief priest waited for his subordinates to return to Aaron Landis one step behind him.

This incident must have made the subordinates he left behind very angry.

Chief priest?

Could it be...

Garlan looked at Kamos reflexively.

Kamos looked back at Garlan and suddenly smiled slyly.

He said, "It's not Shermuel."

Garlan snorted, his tone inevitably showing disappointment.

Heimos looked at him deeply.

"His Majesty."

A gentle-sounding voice came from the door.

The familiar voice stunned Garlan, and he quickly looked up. When he saw the man, his eyes widened in shock.

Not only him, Heimos, who was watching Garlan quietly from the side, also showed a bit of surprise.

"Your Majesty, I am deeply relieved that you can return home safely."

A woman as beautiful as a flower blooming in the early spring rain stood in the room, wearing a priest's robe and a tiara of olive branches and leaves.

The smile on her face seemed gentle, but for some reason it made people cringe just looking at it.

Although his voice was soft and gentle, and his tone and tone were respectful, his words sounded both soft and hard.

"I wonder if you have forgotten our existence?"

Camos laughed, wisely not confronting his chief priest who was obviously angry even though his face was expressionless, but quickly changed the subject.

"Garlan, let me introduce you, this is my chief priest."

He laughed loudly and lightly winked at Garlan without leaving any trace.

"First meeting, Prince Garlan."

Looking at Tapti who was bowing to him calmly and gracefully, Garlan recovered from his initial surprise.

Chief priest...?

It seems that as time went by, Aaron Landis began to allow women to serve as priests and officials.

Looking at Tapti, who had a hint of the majesty of someone in a high position, Garlan's eyes softened.

He still remembers.

Two thousand years ago, after he ascended the throne, he asked Tapti what he thought about the future.

Although Tapti is a bit older, her beauty is not diminished at all, and her relationship with him also makes many superior nobles flock to her.

But Tapti firmly expressed her unwillingness to get married.

She said that she did not want to be trapped in a corner, and she did not want to have to take care of housework, welcome and send children to another man for the rest of her life, and also take care of other women and non-biological children for him.

She said that it would be more uncomfortable for her to live such a life than to die.

In fact, Garlan knew that Tapti had always been a very ambitious woman.

But this ambition is not bad.

She just wants to be like Shermer, and wants to be someone who can help Aaron Landis.

Even as a woman.

Tapti's political talent is not bad. After discovering this, Garlan often asked Tapti to participate when discussing political affairs with Shemuel and others.

At first, Xie Muer and others were very surprised, but later they acquiesced.

It is a pity that for women who cannot be officials or priests, serving the king's female officials is the highest status they can achieve.

Although Tapti never said anything to him, Garlan could tell that Tapti was actually quite unwilling to do so.

Now, two thousand years later, a lot has changed about Aaron Landis.

If Taputi knew that two thousand years later, women would be able to stand upright in the royal court and handle government affairs, she would be very happy.

While Garlan was feeling this way in his heart, Tapti kept looking at him.

She smiled at Garlan.

"Although this is your first meeting, Prince, I am very familiar with you."

she says,

"Perhaps it is a bit presumptuous to say this, but I have also watched you grow up. So, I am very happy to see you in front of me now."

Garlan blinked. He didn't quite understand what Tapti said.

It was enough for Caihos to secretly guard him for ten years as a guardian, but Tapti should have always been in Aaron Landis. How could he watch him grow up like Caihos?

"Also, since you have returned to Aaron Landis now, such things must be returned to you."

The chief priestess said this, holding out a crystal bracelet made of Shamash stone and sending it to Garlan.

Kamos, who looked indifferent just now, changed his expression when he saw the high priestess taking out the crystal bracelet. He stood up in a hurry and stretched out his hand to the high priestess.

"Wait, Tapti, I know I was wrong!" He said nervously, "So don't give this thing to Gal——"

However, Camos spoke too late.

The head priestess, who had long made up her mind to hand this thing to the prince when he returned, pressed the bracelet on the table, and instantly, a light curtain appeared above the bracelet.

Then, four or five images flashed in the light curtain one by one.

Garlan: "………………"

The images are all of one person.

When he was a child, he was eight or nine years old, a teenager, from childhood to adulthood, he had them all.

"According to His Majesty's orders, when Caihos is protecting you, he will regularly record your images and then transmit them to Your Majesty."

The head priestess ignored His Majesty the Emperor, whose face turned pale and green, and said with a smile.

"He has carefully preserved your images from childhood to adulthood here, and takes them out to look at from time to time."

"Although we think this is not good, after all, it is His Majesty's order and we really cannot object. But since you have come back, I think it is better to hand the bracelet to you."

"Brother Wang..."

Garlan looked at Kamos expressionlessly.

"Do you know what this behavior is called in my place?"

This kind of behavior is called perversion in him!

"I just think you were so cute when you were a child... I couldn't help it before, but it's rare that I can do it again..."

The tall and burly Emperor is like a child who made a mistake, weakly justifying his behavior.

"It's a pity not to preserve it. Look, how cute it is..."

Just when Garlan was about to continue talking, a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and touched one of the images of Garlan in middle school.

When he found that his fingers penetrated the image, Heimos seemed to understand something.

He looked up at the High Priestess.

He said: "Do you have more? Give me one."

Garlan: "……………………"

The author has something to say: Garlan: expressionless.jpg
