A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 290. Chapter 290

In the sky flower garden under the moonlight, all kinds of flowers bloom, and the fragrance of the flowers is tangy.

The beautiful girls shuttled among the flower gardens, walking lightly, dancing lightly among the flowers like butterflies, and the crisp laughter splashed down the pool like a clear spring flowing from a high altitude.

An enchanting view.

However, Garlan, who was sitting in it and watching the “beauty of flowers and girls” in front of him, was not in a good mood.

His high priest, along with the head of the royal knights and a group of ministers, placed him together, and he insisted on holding a celebration of osechi in the palace.

By the time he knew it, the news had spread to Aaron Landis, and the city lord and nobles from all over came to the city with their daughters, nieces or sisters. The noble girls in the city also expressed their intention to participate in the celebration.

At this point, he can’t go back and announce the cancellation of this celebration, and then let people turn around and go back. Isn’t that just playing with them?

Now that the matter is over, he can only reluctantly compromise.

However, although as the ministers wished, he came to the celebration, but when he walked through the flower garden, his expression was awe-inspiring, his eyes were not squinted, and he deliberately exuded an inaccessible aura.

So as to successfully stop the girls in the greenhouse.

At this moment, Garlan sat quietly on the upper seat, gently turning the green malachite wine glass in his hand with his white fingers.

Although the glass is not wine but juice.

With one hand resting on the handrail of the white jade seat, he propped his side cheeks, his eyes drooping slightly, and his slender eyelashes cast a shallow shadow on his snow-like cheeks.

The young king just sat there quietly, making that place a rare beauty in the world.

Many noble ladies kept peeking over, shining with stars, and whispering to their companions around them in a low voice.

Gallan seemed to be careless while sitting there, but he sighed several times in his heart.

It’s impossible for that person not to know that the matter is so violent that it even spread to other countries.

Garlan thought with a headache.

I don’t know what that person will do.

From that person’s words… I can do all kinds of things.

I just hope that he will not bring the army back directly.

At that time, people will definitely be mistaken for usurping the throne.

Gallan thought so, and glanced at the side.

On the side table, on the soft red velvet brocade, there is a delicate feather fan.

The frame of the fan handle is made of pure gold, and olive leaves and flowers are hollowed out. The soft peacock feathers are woven with gold threads, and pure white tassels dotted with small gems hang down on the brocade.

According to legend, Afdomir gave a golden fan and a crystal mirror to the goddess of spring to convey his deep feelings.

Therefore, the fan became a symbol of love in the osechi celebration.

In this celebration, if Garland gave this golden fan to someone, it meant that the girl would become the princess of Aaron Landis.

Therefore, in addition to staring at Garlan, many noble ladies in the flower garden have their scorching eyes on the golden fan beside Garlan from time to time.

Glancing at the troublesome golden fan, Gallan sighed again in his heart.

Headache.

He thought, raising his hand and rubbing his temple.

At this moment, a brisk footstep sounded, walking towards him.

Garland looked up and saw a girl with long wavy linen hair in a hand-cart dress coming towards him lightly, her eyes gleaming at him, as if there were a thousand words to say.

He remembered her.

Not long ago, he had just walked under the flower garden and was about to go from the side to the stone steps in the middle, when suddenly a girl jumped from the top, scared him, and reflexively reached out and caught the girl.

At that time, the girl he caught stared at him with such shining eyes.

He didn’t hate that look at all.

Because the girl looked at him with clean and bright eyes, as if she opened her eyes and identified the owner of a little milk dog.

Now the girl running towards him looked like a puppy wagging its big tail and widening black eyes.

Garlan looked funny, and smiled.

It’s just that the corners of his mouth just raised.

Keng!

There was a sudden cracking sound.

A long sword fell from the sky, and a sword stabbed in front of the girl who ran towards him.

Broken ground and cracked rocks.

………… That guy can do everything…………

Looking at the earth-splitting long sword silently, Gallan had only one thought in his mind at the moment.

Although he was put together by Xiemur and others, since he dared to participate in this celebration, he naturally thought of a way to retreat.

If there are no accidents, not only will the celebration end smoothly, but he will also prevent Xiemur and the others from mentioning the matter of letting him marry the princess for a long time.

It’s just that he intends no matter how good it is.

Huimos is the only variable among them.

Sure enough, when this guy appeared, everything was messed up.

Ah, a headache.

With the creak of the sharp sword, the entire Hua Ting was silent for an instant.

Time seems to be frozen at this moment.

Many people’s smiles froze on their faces.

In the entire courtyard, everyone’s eyes fell on the long sword slantingly inserted into the stone ground, their eyes dull.

This is… what’s the situation?

Everyone was a little confused for a while.

A group of well-trained guards rushed up quickly, and under the leadership of the knight commander who was on duty tonight, he blocked Gallan strictly.

The knight commander was holding a long sword and was already in a fighting posture, but when he looked up, he was taken aback when he saw the person coming.

He looked back at King Garlan in astonishment, revealing a questioning gaze.

When he saw King Gallan waved his hand to signal him to retreat, he nodded and simply retreated to the side with his subordinates.

The original lively Hua Ting was already quietly audible to needles, everyone looked at the tall man who did not know when he appeared on the Hua Ting in astonishment, and watched him walk step by step from the middle.

He was dressed in black armor, and the black silk seemed to melt into the night.

He is like a black wolf that quietly walked out of the silent night, and walked toward the crowd coldly and arrogantly.

The black knight Huimos.

The strongest fighter who was said to have retreated tens of thousands of troops alone, and that Aaron Landis was unbeatable.

Even those who saw him for the first time, almost guessed the identity of the man in an instant.

Even if he didn’t say a word, his existence was enough to silence everyone.

Those delicate aristocratic women were so frightened that they paled and dared not scream.

The survival instinct can make them afraid to make the slightest change in front of this dangerous man.

Under the eyes of everyone, Huimos walked to the upper seat Garland.

He didn’t walk fast, but he was very powerful, and his boots stepped on the stone slab and made heavy footsteps.

One step, one step, the sound of the footsteps seemed to shock people’s hearts, and stepped heavily on people’s hearts.

His steps are not hurried or slow, and his posture is proud, as if he can’t see the dense crowd in front of him.

But wherever he went, there seemed to be an invisible sense of oppression emanating from him, causing those who stood in front of him to retreat aside involuntarily.

Every time he took a step forward, the large crowds in front of him were like sea water that was suddenly separated, consciously giving way to a spacious road.

The originally lively celebration suddenly became strangely silent because of the appearance of this man.

Soon, he walked to Léa’s side under the quiet gaze of everyone, before the sword he threw.

At this time, the girl was still in a daze.

She stared blankly at the long sword in front of her, and she was so frightened that her completely disconnected brain was still on strike.

Huimos came from behind her, over her shoulder.

Then, stood beside the long sword in front of her.

Lya, who was in a daze, vaguely felt a tall figure enveloped herself. Before she could look up, one arm stretched out from her eyes.

She stared blankly at the big brown hand holding the hilt of the long sword.

Slightly harder.

There was a harsh rubbing sound of rubble cracking.

Lya opened her eyes and watched in astonishment that the long sword that had been pierced three feet deep into the stone slab was so easily pulled out by that hand.

The gravel from the crack in the stone slab splashed in all directions, and several splashed on the hem of her skirt.

Seeing that the hand pulling the sword retracted, instinctively, she followed that hand and looked up.

The moonlight shone from behind the man slightly diagonally.

In the backlight, she couldn’t see the face of the tall man standing in front of her.

But she saw the man’s eyes and looked to her in the half-dark shadow.

The man glanced at her.

Just a glance.

In an instant, her mind went blank.

Her body reacted faster than her mind.

As her legs softened, she fell to the ground, and the cold slate floor seemed to seep into her legs.

Her pupils trembled, but she couldn’t even scream, and her hand on the ground trembled unwillingly.

too horrible.

This person…so scary.

At this moment, there was only one thought left in her blank mind.

“Himos.”

A clear voice suddenly sounded in the silence, breaking the silence in the flower garden.

The corner of Huimos’ eyes moved and he turned his head and looked up.

Garlan sitting in the upper seat looked at him.

“You scared her.”

Gallan said, the bright golden eyes looked at Heimos.

In the darkness, Huimos looked at Garlan above.

The golden red eyes reflected the surrounding fire, a golden arc of light on the edge of the iris of the pupil, and the deep red flame ignited by sucking in the fire light.

Gallan’s figure was reflected in his pupils, as if being burned by the flames of his eyes.

When the night wind passed, the dark forehead moved, and the shadow reflected in his pupils also shook endlessly.

Huimos looked up at Garlan, his cheek shining with fire.

His face is half bright and half dark, with light and shadow intertwined.

The edge of the black armor on his body refracted faint light, glowing with the special cold and hard luster of metal, as if it was still exuding the chill brought back from the north.

Huimos didn’t say a word, but Gallan spoke again.

“You scared her.”

Gallan repeated it again.

The girl who was so terrified that she fell to the ground was still trembling, and suddenly her eyes lit up when she heard these words from Garlan.

King Garlan… is he protecting her?

Does he feel her special?

Ah, sure enough, there is a destiny between her and him~~

There was a sweet feeling in the bottom of my heart, and Léa felt very comforted.

Suddenly, her hands didn’t tremble, and she even forgot that the man who looked like a god was still by her side. She raised her head and looked at Gallan with bright eyes.

The girl was sitting on the ground, her long, wavy flax hair draped over her slender shoulders.

The hem of her long skirt was spread on the white stone ground, and there was still hazy moisture in her moist eyes watching Gallan, and her whole person was like a blooming flower.

“King Garlan…”

She whispered, her voice with the sweetness of a girl.

Such a beautiful and beautiful girl, no matter who it is, can’t help but feel compassion at a glance.

No one noticed that in this sweet call, the gloomy color under Huimos’ eyes became deeper and deeper.

No one noticed that because Garland spoke first, the Zuo Si who was about to stand up and accuse Huimos with a stern face on the side choked and closed his mouth.

King Gallan had already spoken, and of course he wouldn’t be able to intervene anymore. After all, interrupting the king’s words was an act of ignorance.

Hua Ting was still very quiet, only Garlan’s voice echoed under the night sky.

Gallan and Huimos looked at each other, with disagreement in their eyes.

He didn’t say anything, he just looked at Huimos quietly.

There was a stalemate like this for a while, and Hiemos lowered his eyes, the shadow of his forehead concealing the emotion in his eyes.

As soon as he raised his hand, with a clang, the sword was sheathed.

Afterwards, Huimos directly stretched out his hand.

Lya was staring at Garlan who was protecting her with excitement and staring eyes, and suddenly felt her body lighten.

Immediately afterwards, she was picked up by the back collar, so she was picked up directly from the ground.

Huimos was much taller than her, and when he lifted her up, her feet were dangling.

The girl was a little confused.

and many more.

This action, this posture, is no different from carrying a puppy.

and many more.

King Garlan is watching, it would be embarrassing for me to be carried like this——

Before she could speak, Huimos had put her down.

He bowed slightly, which was a gesture of apologizing to Leya.

“Sorry, the sword accidentally let go of your hand just now, and you were frightened. Tomorrow I will ask someone to send the apologize to you.”

Huimos said, holding the sword in one hand and pressing the other to his chest.

That said, that attitude, looks polite.

He has no ups and downs in the tone of his speech, very indifferent, it seems perfunctory in every way.

How can accidentally let go of a long sword that is not light enough to fly over a distance of nearly 100 meters, and even break the stone ground!

The crowd onlookers couldn’t help crying from the bottom of their hearts when they heard it.

After speaking, before Leah could answer, Huimos had turned to leave her and continued to move forward.

He walked to Garlan, leaned over and knelt on one knee.

With his left hand resting on the erected knee, his right hand raised the sheathed long sword in front of Garlan’s eyes.

“This is the spoils obtained from the Geshurs.”

He said, raising his eyes, looking sharply at Garlan.

The firelight reflected the cold metal arc on the long sword in his hand.

“Give it to you.”

Garland: “…”

He was still thinking about how to find an excuse for Heimos’s intrusion with a sword, and this guy had already found an excuse for himself.

Although this excuse is extremely perfunctory…

However, he was the king, he recognized it, and other people would naturally not talk too much.

“Will you accept it?”

The golden red eyes stared at Garlan.

Gallan could clearly see the burning gaze of the man close to him.

He was sure.

If he doesn’t take it, this guy will definitely act more unscrupulously.

With a light sigh in the bottom of his heart, he reached out and took the sword that Huimos had handed him.

“I read the military newspaper and the Gestors have retired. It’s all your credit, Hiemos.”

He said, smiling slightly at Hiemos.

Huimos was still kneeling on one knee, looking up at Garlan with a deep gaze.

He suddenly smiled.

He said, “Speaking of which, today is the Flower Festival. According to tradition, I gave you a sword and you accepted it. Does this mean that you accepted my proposal?”

Due to the sudden appearance of Huimos and a series of actions, the entire garden is extremely silent.

Therefore, even if Heimos said this in a small voice, many people in the vicinity could still hear it, and the faces of those people suddenly became stiff.

Soga, who had been drinking without raising his head since Huimos appeared, jerked his eyelids.

It’s over.

Master Huimos was so irritated that he was in serious trouble.

How should this end?

“Master Huimos!”

Gallan hadn’t spoken yet, he had endured it for a long time, Zuo Sixiang yelled angrily.

“Even if it’s a celebration, you can’t joke on Your Majesty! This kind of behavior is too presumptuous!”

Huimos glanced at the left Secretary who was standing up, and a little coldness oozes from the bottom of his eyes.

The corners of his mouth curled up a little.

“That’s right, even if you are joking, you can’t drive on’Your Majesty’.”

He deliberately increased the word’Your Majesty’.

While talking, he stood up and smiled faintly.

“Your Majesty, it’s rare for me to be lucky. When I return to the city, I will catch the osechi celebration. Please allow me to participate in this celebration, okay?”

He smiled and said to Gallan.

Fortunately, fortunately…Master Huimos is still sensible.

Soga covered his chest, which was about to be smashed by a beating heart, and thought fortunately.

“Maybe, my beloved is in this courtyard?”

Huimos stared at Garlan.

Word by word, meaning to say.

Puff!

Suo Jia’s heart trembled fiercely again.

Fuck like this is really bad for the heart.

Also, why aren’t Kayjos and the magistrate here?

Why is he the only one who knows the inside story?

Why does he have to be here alone?

Soga, angrily, secretly looked up.

Gallan was very calm, could not see any expression, just nodded.

“Well, since you are interested in this celebration, sit next to me.”

As if he didn’t understand the cues in Heimos’ words, Garlan answered frankly.

No matter how provocative the opponent does not accept the move, it is like a punch on cotton, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Looking at Garlan, who didn’t change his face, Heimos, who felt his teeth itchy, had the urge to bite down.

But after all, he held it back, lowered his eyes to hide the unpleasant expression in his eyes, and sat down on the seat next to Garlan.

Gallan clapped his hands, drawing everyone’s attention to him.

He smiled and said: “Don’t worry too much, just treat it as one more participant in the celebration, just like everyone else.”

Gallan turned to look at the chief attendant in charge of the celebration.

“continue.”

As Gallan said, the originally silent flower garden quickly returned to its former liveliness.

The only difference is that although many aristocratic women did not dare to step forward, they also cast their eyes on King Gallan from time to time.

But now, there is one more person beside King Garlan.

The feeling that the black knight gave them was so terrible that the girls didn’t dare to look over there, for fear that they would meet the horrible man’s gaze accidentally.

…… This kind of ferocious dog guards his own possessions, the sense of sight……

Suojia couldn’t help but twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking so uncontrollably.

Huimos was sitting next to Garland, and naturally, he saw the golden bird fan on the red brocade on the table.

The bottom of his eyes sank and went dark again.

After thinking about it for a while, he reached out and picked up the golden fan, unfolded it with a sigh, and then scanned it carefully.

“There is a crack here.”

Heimos, who stared at the golden fan for a long time, said suddenly.

“Um?”

Gallan looked at the resumption of the lively celebration below with a calm expression, and when Heymos said this, he turned his head.

“crack?”

How could this kind of royal treasure carefully crafted by the royal craftsmen have cracks?

Gallan glanced away, and he really found a thin crack.

He wanted to see clearly, so he moved his face to look closely.

But he didn’t notice. In this way, his head moved closer to Hiemos.

The fan that Huimos raised up and unfolded happened to cover the lower half of their faces.

When Gallan stared at the thin crack, the shadow suddenly covered him, extremely light and extremely fast, and Heymos kissed his lips.

The next second, the man quickly backed away, closing the golden fan in his hand with a snap, and took it back.

All this happened extremely quickly. When Gallan, who was stunned, reacted, Heymos was already sitting in a hurry, and continued to play with the golden fan in his hand as if nothing had happened.

Gallan’s heart throbbed violently, and couldn’t stop it.

This kind of feeling is almost embarrassing under the public…

He tightened his lips and tried to pretend to be nonchalant, not looking at Heimos at all.

While playing with the golden fan in his hand, Heimos glanced at the people around him without a trace from the corner of his eye.

He saw Garlan clenched his hand on the armrest, then loosened it, his lips tightened firmly.

Obviously a little flustered but forced to calm down.

Obviously a little angry but tried hard to pretend to be nonchalant.

The tip of the ear exposed from the golden hair is already slightly red.

The corner of Huimos’s mouth raised slightly invisibly, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.
