After insulting Heimos unceremoniously, Garlan stared at Heimos and drank the potion.

Although Heimos frowned, under Garland's gaze, he finally swallowed the soup in one gulp.

After swallowing, probably because the bitter taste left his mouth, he pursed his lips tightly and frowned even more.

"Don't want to eat?"

Garlan pointed to the honey biscuits he asked the maid to bring.

Although Hermos frowned in pain, he still shook his head.

He really didn't look like he was pretending, he really didn't even bother to glance at his favorite sweets.

Although Garlan thought it was a bit strange, it was none of his business and he didn't think much about it.

Thinking that this man was a patient now, it would be inappropriate for him to say anything hurtful. After saying hello to Heimos, he left first.

Heimos sat on the bed and took a sip of water to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth.

Everyone thinks he has a sweet tooth, but that's not the case.

Sweetness is not his taste, but because of his childhood experience, he has a strange obsession with sweet things.

It can even be said that for sweets, rather than saying that he likes to eat them, it is better to say that he has a dependence on sweets.

A habit that is difficult to break.

What he wants is the feeling of the sweet taste spreading in his mouth, relaxing his body and mind.

He raised his eyes, his golden-red eyes staring unblinkingly at the back of the departing young man.

Although his cheeks were still red from the fever, his eyes were extremely sharp at this moment.

He looked at Garlan with a look of desire and greed hidden deep in his eyes.

He has found the sweetest taste in the world to him.

It wasn't just in his mouth, it was felt by his taste buds... that sweetness seemed to penetrate his entire body and even his soul. It was an extremely sweet taste.

So, sweets are no longer enough.

Far from enough.

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.

Now, he was no longer interested in the sweetness that could only satisfy the desire of the mouth and tongue.

Heimos lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.

…………

Just when Garlan returned to his residence, in the royal court on the other side, King Camos was discussing matters here.

The atmosphere in the royal court was not very good.

Because just at noon, they received an urgent message that there was something strange happening in the Islamic State in the west.

Unlike Aaron Landis, which has spring all year round in most areas, most of the land in Is in the west is grassland and desert, of which desert accounts for two-thirds of the land. Therefore, Is is also called It is a desert country.

The Yis people mainly make a living by raising horses, sheep and other livestock, and live in pursuit of water sources and pastures. Their living environment is much worse than that of Aaron Landis, which has fertile soil and rich vegetation.

Therefore, when the Yisi people suffered from disasters, they would attack other countries and steal food and living resources from other countries, and Aaron Landis, who was rich in grain, was one of their targets.

"Yis was hit by a drought not long ago."

An old man with slightly gray hair said, "So they must come to grab food this year."

"But it's a little earlier than we estimated."

Another person said.

"Although the time has been advanced, we are almost ready."

"Although we are pressed for time, we must have enough food and grass."

"Yes, three days... no, we can arrive in two days!"

After listening to the reports of the ministers, King Camos on the throne nodded.

He said: "Two days later, I will lead the troops to fight."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shermer, who was standing on the other side, suddenly took a step forward and spoke in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the Shamash Temple in Tozes City will be completed soon. If you are unable to go, please appoint a royal envoy to go there."

As soon as Shermur said it, King Camos remembered it.

Last month, the governor of Tozes City reported that the Shamash Temple was about to be completed.

At that time, he planned to go there himself.

In Aaron Landis, although there are a large number of gods, and the country does not restrict people's beliefs, among the gods, only the sun god Shamash and the god of night are regarded by the Aaron Landis people as Those who believe in the main god are served by the royal family.

Therefore, the temples of these two gods cannot be built privately. An application must be made to the main temple of Shamash in the royal city first. After the high priest gives permission, King Aaron Landis must approve before they can be built.

When the temples of these two gods are completed, they must also be reported to the king. The king will either go to the dedication ceremony in person or appoint his envoy to go on his behalf.

King Camos pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.

He raised his head and looked at Shermer.

"Garlan will go to Tozes on my behalf to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the Shamash Temple."

As soon as these words came out, all the ministers and nobles were startled, except Xie Muer who bowed and responded.

It would be enough to appoint an envoy, but if the prince Garlan were to go to the important temple ceremony on behalf of King Aaron Landis...

The meaning contained in this...

Everyone exchanged deep looks with each other.

After the meeting, King Camos summoned Garlan and told him about the matter.

Although Garlan was a little surprised to be suddenly given a job, he naturally nodded and accepted it.

Because the completion of the Shamash Temple was in a few days, time was very tight, and he had to leave on the second day.

So, when he went back in the evening, he was busy packing.

After leaving the royal city early the next morning under the escort of five thousand guards, Garlan, who was so busy that he was dizzy, suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to see Heimos again before leaving.

……never mind.

Now that Garlan has left the royal city, the guardian knight Kaihos will naturally follow him this time.

Garlan also took the little fat man Tal with him. At the moment, the little fat man was happily riding beside him, looking extremely happy.

There was a long cry in the air, Garlan raised his head and saw a black shadow passing under the blue sky.

He bent his eyes and smiled.

Well, of course I have to bring the big eagle Anu too.

After all, the eagle is also a symbol of the sun god Shamash, so it would be a good idea to bring it to the temple inauguration ceremony to show off.

Garlan galloped while thinking about the map he read last night.

Tozes is a seaside city located in the southwest and is the largest and most prosperous seaport in Aaronlandis.

The last time he went to Tastar he had gone north, now he was going south.

…………

Because they all traveled lightly on horseback, and the guards escorting Garlan were all cavalry, the group moved very quickly.

A few days later, they arrived at the seaport city of Tozes.

After escorting Prince Garlan to Tozes, the five thousand guards left without stopping. The war between Aaron Landis and Yis is about to break out. King Camos has already set off for the battle, and they must rush to the battlefield on the Western Front as soon as possible.

The safety of the prince was naturally taken over by the Aaron Landis army stationed in Tozes, and Kehos and nearly a hundred of his personal guards also stayed here.

The consul of Tozes came out to welcome the arrival of Prince Garlan, and his attitude towards Garlan was very respectful.

Not to mention that Garlan is now the first heir to the throne, and his current identity is still as the representative of King Camos.

It can be said that disrespecting Garlan is disrespecting His Majesty.

The governor of Tozes naturally did not dare to neglect.

That night, the consul held a small banquet to welcome Garlan's arrival.

Not many people were invited to this banquet. Apart from Garlan and his party, as well as the consul, there were only two or three strangers.

Because it is not a formal banquet, the venue decoration is more amorous and casual.

A thick orange-red plush felt carpet was spread on the ground, filled with food and wine. Translucent tulle fluttered gently between the columns, and snow-white round cushions were placed around the orange-red felt carpet.

Everyone sat on the cushions, around the square orange blanket, and on the floor.

Behind each person, two young and beautiful maids knelt to serve them.

Garlan naturally sat in the main seat, Kehos and Tal sat on his left, and the consul of Tozes sat on Garlan's right.

He smiled and introduced the people sitting next to him to Garlan.

These extremely gorgeously dressed middle-aged people are all wealthy local businessmen in Tozes City. Each of them owns a large fleet and conducts maritime trade.

Garlan nodded slightly.

One of the slightly fat middle-aged men looked at him with a smile, and there was a little eagerness in his eyes.

After the man toasted Garlan with a glass of wine, he suddenly turned around and waved.

A crisp bell sounded.

Garlan looked around and saw the small bell worn on a slender wrist.

Her long black hair was tied up, revealing her graceful neck like a swan.

Two strands of black hair fell from her cheeks, and the ends fell on her high chest.

A young girl came in style. The pure gold ornaments on her chest and arms lined her honey-colored skin. Her small face was covered with a layer of gauze, which was almost transparent. It was no different from not being covered, but covered. It gave the girl a bit of seductive aura.

You can see the slender waist that is almost exposed under the transparent tulle, and a fiery red gemstone is embedded next to the small belly button, adding a touch of amorous feelings.

The middle-aged wealthy businessman greeted her.

"Hurry up and salute the prince."

The beautiful girl responded obediently and knelt down to salute Garlan.

The middle-aged man turned back with a smile and said to Garlan: "Your Highness, this is my daughter. She just turned eighteen years old not long ago."

Not knowing what this man was doing introducing his daughter to him, Garlan was a little baffled.

But since the man introduced him, he smiled politely, nodded, and said nothing.

Garlan didn't say anything, but the man still approached eagerly.

"What do you think of my little girl?"

Why is your daughter asking me?

Garlan muttered impatiently in his heart.

But on the surface, he continued to maintain an awkward yet polite smile.

"You have a beautiful daughter."

He replied politely.

Then, he reached out and picked up the glass of honey water with ice cubes brought by the maid behind him, and took a sip.

The middle-aged man's eyes shone slightly and he leaned forward, closer to Garlan.

"Then, Your Highness, look -"

He smiled and said, "Does my daughter have the honor to be your concubine to serve you?"

puff--!

Garlan spurted out a mouthful of honey water.

For a moment, he was choked and couldn't speak.

The author has something to say: Rich businessman: "I have a daughter, she is twenty-nine years old..."

Someone who was left in the royal city: "Haha."
