A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

"Playing the role of the 'Prince of Garlan' in the celebration and sacrificial activities?"

The blond boy who was informed of the cause and effect showed a shocked expression, but quickly reacted and shook his head.

"Sorry, I won't do it."

After seeing this blond boy with unforgettable beauty and temperament, the female person in charge could not help but feel happy. Just when she was thinking happily, 'Great, we can save it,' she was flatly rejected by the other party. Stunned.

She and Cecilia looked at each other with confusion in each other's eyes.

After all, they all believed that as long as they made this request, no one would refuse.

You know, being able to play the role of 'Prince Garlan' in the quadrennial celebration is a great honor for the actor.

Whether in terms of reputation or property, you can get a lot.

Putting aside everything else, just the feeling of making people cheer is enough to make many people flock to it.

Every time the actors for the celebration are selected, thousands of teenagers actively participate in it just to get this honor. Therefore, they never expected that not only was the young man not excited about it at all, but he refused.

"Well, it's like this. This is your first time here, so you may not know much about it."

Sisia quickly persuaded.

"It is a great honor to be a performer in the celebration. The Government Affairs Department will give the performer the title of honorary citizen for four years, that is, until the next celebration is held. During this period, you will become our Tweilur City Our guest can even be said to be a symbol of this city.”

"Not only does the Government Affairs Department give you a large amount of subsidies every year, but you also enjoy the greatest discounts in all the shops in Tweel City. You can also dine for free in many high-end restaurants and arrange free accommodation for you."

"No, I'm not interested in that."

What surprised Cecilia was that the blond boy remained unwavering towards such an exciting condition.

She panicked.

"Also, in the past four years, whenever Tweilur City invites you to attend an event, you will be given a large sum of money as a reward. Moreover, if you are willing, some clubs in the city will invite you to participate in events, and you can also Go, of course, you have to pay for your invitation..."

When Sissia was anxious, she directly used the honorific title for the blond boy who looked younger than her.

However, no matter how hard she tried to convince the other party, the answer she received was still rejection.

"No, I don't need to."

Garlan shook his head and refused again.

After arriving in the hall, the woman who seemed to be in charge looked at him excitedly for a while, then invited him into a side room next to him and said she wanted to talk in detail.

Besides her, there was also a girl named Sisia in the room.

After being invited into the room, Sisia explained to him in detail their current troubles and the purpose of inviting him here.

Is this... letting him play himself?

Garlan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head decisively.

What a joke!

Just being in the audience and watching others act themselves is a public execution.

Now he actually has to let him play himself - this is even more cruel than Ling Chi!

impossible.

It's impossible to play yourself or anything in this life.

If you really do it, it will be a lifetime of black history.

Thinking of this, Garlan naturally refused categorically.

But the female person in charge and Sitsia were obviously unwilling to let him go easily, and tried desperately to persuade him, and kept listing various benefits.

He was a little surprised just now when Cecilia told him that the performers for each celebration were selected from thousands of people, but now he understood.

It seems that becoming a role player in the celebration is equivalent to becoming the spokesperson of Tweilur City before the next celebration.

If he were just an ordinary person, he would be very eager for such a big benefit.

But, unfortunately, it had no effect on him.

Seeing that Garlan was not moved by all the benefits Sisiya said, the female person in charge who had been standing quietly aside and carefully observing Garlan spoke up.

"Don't you want to give it a try? It feels like being the center of attention."

The more she looked at him, the more determined she was to win the blond boy.

Not to mention the dazzling beauty, the most important thing is the temperament of the young man, a temperament that is indescribable but can be felt by everyone who looks at him.

When the young man walked in just now, she who was no longer young actually felt like she was seeing a real prince.

No wonder Sisiya desperately wanted to find him.

This blond boy obviously has a good and noble background, and wealth cannot impress him at all. That being the case, let’s start from the other side.

Young people of this age are usually in high spirits and overlooking the world.

It is absolutely difficult for them to refuse the feeling of being in the midst of great glory and being looked up to and pursued by countless people.

"As long as you are willing, on that day, you will be looked up to by everyone."

She said in a bewitching tone.

"Imagine the feeling of being cheered by everyone. You are like a king who rules over this city."

"This may be the only opportunity in your life to have tens of thousands of people cheering for you at the same time. Are you really willing to give up?"

If it were an ordinary young man, just imagining that scene would definitely make his blood boil.

However--

Garlan: "...No, thank you."

The Wise King by Aaron Landis.

Be loved and supported by the people from the bottom of their hearts.

No matter where he goes, there will be countless people cheering for him.

Tens of thousands of people?

Those were all small scenes.

There are scenes of hundreds of thousands, even millions of people cheering.

Not to mention anything else, hundreds of thousands of people in the royal city would come to the annual ritual ceremony for the gods to cheer.

Garlan said calmly, "Sorry, I'm really not interested in this matter. Now my companion and I have to leave, it's better for you to find someone else as soon as possible."

Seeing that the life-saving straw in her heart was about to go, the female person in charge became anxious. She reached out to grab the blond boy's wrist to stop him from leaving.

But as soon as she stretched out her hand, the tall man who had been standing quietly aside immediately raised his hand to protect the young man and looked at her lightly.

Although the man made no next move, the meaning conveyed in that glance made her heart tremble.

She didn't dare to take action anymore, so she could only continue to try to persuade the boy with words.

"You know, after you become a performer, your name will be recorded, and your portrait will always be hung in our celebration history museum. People will know your name in the future."

In a hurry, she said everything.

"You can be regarded as famous throughout the ages——"

Garlan: "……………………Oh, thank you, no."

Gallan said that he was no longer interested in being famous through the ages.

Once again politely declining the two women's proposals, Garlan turned around.

"Let's go."

he said to Heimos.

The two women behind looked at each other with helpless expressions in their eyes.

They tried every method, but the other party refused to accept soft and hard, and did not give in oil and salt. They were really at their wits' end.

Cecilia looked at the back of the blond boy whose name she still didn't know with a regretful look on her face, and let out a long sigh.

Garlan and the two quickly left from the side door. As soon as they walked into the courtyard on the side, a clear child's voice suddenly came from the door.

"You haven't found a new candidate yet? It's going to be held tomorrow. Do you want to mess up such an important thing?"

Although the childish voice was childish, it was clear that the person speaking was very angry.

Garlan, who was walking out in the courtyard path, suddenly paused. He turned his head and looked inside the door.

Through the open door, he could see the scene in the hall from a distance.

At this moment, there was a girl who looked nine years old standing in the middle of the hall. Although she was young, her voice was not quiet at all. Her shouts echoed throughout the hall and could even be heard in the courtyard outside.

"Well, Miss Avril, hurry up, the new candidate will be decided soon."

The staff in the hall coaxed this troublesome young lady.

"I will definitely let you see your 'prince' tomorrow. Go back quickly, choose a nice little skirt, and dress up beautifully so that you can meet your 'prince'."

"Humph, I know you are coaxing me."

Obviously, the little girl doesn't like this.

"I'm warning you, never look for someone to fool you!"

She looked angry, raising her chubby fists in the air and yelling angrily.

"My Prince Gallan is so-so-handsome, so good! So awesome!"

She opened her arms in a wide gesture and snorted.

"Not just anyone is qualified to play the role! If the person you find is not good enough and makes me angry, I will beat them up!"

After she finished yelling, she left angrily.

The girl's identity was obviously unusual. As soon as she went out, the guards waiting outside the door immediately surrounded her and walked out surrounded by her.

The staff inside sent her out of the door and watched her go away. They looked at each other and let out a long sigh.

After they relaxed, they couldn't help but complain.

"Oh, Miss Avril is really willful..."

"After all, she is the youngest daughter of the city lord. She was pampered and grew up, so she must be willful."

"There's nothing we can do about it. I don't know why. Miss Avril seems to have liked 'Prince Garland' since she was very young. She was clamoring to marry 'Prince Garland' when she was only two or three years old. Every time I look forward to this day every time I hold a celebration.”

"And she is very picky about the actors every time. It is said that she was a little dissatisfied with the ones she chose among thousands of people."

"To be honest, I don't even like those temporary replacements, let alone Miss Avril."

"Oh, she has been looking forward to this day for a long time, but she will be disappointed." Someone said with a headache on his head, "She will definitely make a fuss tomorrow."

Everyone chatted for a few words, and the boss's scolding came from the hall, so they all hurried back to continue their work.

Garlan, who vaguely heard a few words in the courtyard, turned his head and looked at Avril, who had already reached the gate.

The little girl lost her temper in the hall just now and looked fierce, but now she looks listless. Although she is chewing a big sweet cake in her hand, her whole body looks wilted. , no energy.

She sighed while biting into the big sweet cake in her hand, her little face wrinkled.

That look made Garlan couldn't help but smile.

He looked at the little girl with tender eyes, showing a hint of nostalgia.

…………

……………………

The day passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already night.

Garlan has returned to the hotel.

"Are you really not going to act yourself? This is a rare opportunity, and it seems to pay well."

Heimos was obviously teasing people on purpose, and there was a smile in his eyes when he said this.

"How about you go instead?"

Garlan said angrily.

"They don't like me."

Heimos answered seriously.

"Okay, stop joking. Don't say I'm not interested in it. Even if I am really interested, I can't do it."

Garlan shrugged.

"You understand, don't you?"

It was not that there was no objection to the fact that King Camos appointed his brother, who had returned from another country, as the crown prince. It was just that King Kamos resisted the pressure of the opposition and insisted on doing so.

If he does something wrong, it will bring trouble to Brother Wang. For example, if he really becomes an actor in this kind of thing, once his identity is exposed, he will be used as a handle by the opposition.

and……

Who would do such a shameful thing as acting yourself!

Garlan went into the bathroom and took a hot bath comfortably.

He thought that after the celebration was over, he would go find the little girl to confirm...

While thinking this, he raised his head.

The fog made the mirror in front of him a little blurry, but it still reflected the face of a young man with red lips and white teeth.

The pure gold hair hangs wetly on the milk-white skin, reflecting a soft golden luster under the light.

The young man's cheeks were slightly red due to the heat, and his slender eyelashes carried a little mist, making his eyes look hazy like a clear spring.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Garlan raised his hand and gently tugged on his clothes.

The clothes he wore when sleeping were already loose. When he pulled her, the top sank diagonally to one side, exposing half of her shoulders, and the delicate collarbone on that side was even more clearly visible.

Looking down again, he was wearing shorts, revealing two straight, slender and fair legs.

I wonder if this... can seduce her successfully?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Gallan, who blushed, shook his head vigorously.

...Well, he didn’t have any ideas.

He was just, just testing Heimos' body to see if there was anything wrong with him.

He was just checking Heimos' body.

Yes, that’s right, that’s it!

Repeating this in his mind, Garlan took a deep breath, opened the door, and walked out with the mist gushing out.

As soon as he walked out, he immediately felt the burning gaze of the man opposite him.

Garlan did not dare to meet the other party's burning eyes and pretended not to notice Heimos looking at him.

He tilted his head slightly, and he could feel his cheeks getting slightly hot, and must have been a little red.

Fortunately, I had just taken a shower, so I could use the excuse that my skin was red from the heat to cover it up.

The boy stood in the hazy mist, his wet blond hair scattered on his beautiful cheeks.

The lips that are usually pink are now even more pink due to the heat, making people feel itchy just looking at them.

And the skin that has just been soaked in hot water is exuding a light moisture and is so tender that it seems like it can drip out of water.

A little drop of water dripped from the tip of the wet hair onto the soft cheek, across the cheek, and slowly dripped from the chin...

At the moment when the water dropped, the man standing by the window and staring at Garlan moved.

He strode towards Garlan.

The approaching tall figure made Garlan panic.

He just wanted to test Heimos' physical condition because he was worried.

Was this an accident...did the fake act really happen?

Cold, calm.

I have to calm down.

The young man forced himself to remain calm.

It was always going to come to this.

He told himself repeatedly in his heart, took a deep breath, and clenched his fists.

It doesn't matter, he has already prepared it!

Garlan raised his head and bravely faced Heimos who had walked to him, and even wanted to reach out and hug him——

However, before he could raise his hand, his eyes suddenly turned white.

A snow-white towel fell on his head.

The man's big hands covered both sides of his head, helping him wipe his wet blond hair that was still dripping with water.

Heimos's deep voice sounded in the ears of the somewhat confused Garlan at the same time.

"Why does your hair come out when it's wet?"

He said, "Also, put on long pants. It's cold at night and you might catch a cold."

Garlan: "????"

…………

I'm going to take off my clothes and you want me to wear pants? !
