A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 292. Chapter 292

The night of the flower osechi celebration was supposed to be a very lively time, but at this moment, the flower garden in the sky under the night sky is silent.

Even the musicians who played the instruments on the side were dumbfounded for a moment, and when they reacted, they continued to play in a panic.

If such a mistake occurred in the past celebrations or banquets, they would definitely be severely punished, but this time, everyone was in a state of confusion, so almost no one noticed that their music stopped for a while.

Accompanied by the light and soft music that started again, the noble women who had just danced to the flower god on the flower stage looked at each other for a while, and were speechless for a long while.

He thought that the beauty of his appearance was better than that of King Garlan, so he went up.

It seems that as long as confident aristocratic women can go up, but these senior aristocratic women who have been strictly nurtured since childhood are not stupid.

If you don’t go up, everyone will lose the election. It just says that the king’s requirements are too demanding and will not cause any image to them.

But if self-confidence is overwhelming, or if you want to catch the gap in King Gallan’s words of’self-thinking’ and walk up with the skin – that means that she thinks that she is among all the noble women present here and even the entire Aaronland. The most beautiful woman in Diss.

Therefore, the cruel thing of standing next to King Garlan and directly contrasted with it will not be mentioned for the time being.

Will King Gallan agree with this point and ignore it for now.

What is absolutely certain is that the other ladies here will definitely not agree.

Are you kidding me?

You think you are the number one beauty of Aaron Landis, that means we are all inferior to you?

Pooh!

Beautiful to you!

Faced with this situation, how could this group of ladies who are extremely confident about their appearance be convinced?

They will surely attack the woman unceremoniously, picky about her appearance, mock her self-defeating and self-righteous, and even more, they might say that she deceives the king.

After this, the woman will surely spread throughout Aaron Landis as a joke, and her reputation will be ruined ever since.

Therefore, no lady would do such a stupid thing.

Regarding the matter claimed by King Garlan, the ladies were very depressed at first.

But then I thought about it, although I failed to become a princess, but other ladies also failed.

So they calmed down.

So calmed down, they looked at King Garlan standing on the round platform, and without the ambition and desire for the position of the princess, they subconsciously paid more attention to King Garlan’s appearance. superior.

After watching for a long time, the ladies who thought that King Garlan’s request seemed a bit ridiculous just now suddenly felt that that request, if you think about it, seems to be a bit reasonable.

King Gallan is so beautiful and prosperous, he has watched his face grow up since he was a child, and his eyes must have been cultivated a long time ago. It is naturally impossible for ordinary people to get his eyes easily.

No wonder this majesty is now twenty-two years old and there is not even a concubine by his side. Now everyone knows the reason. Compared with his own appearance, how can the majesty be a common beauty?

If you marry a princess, the princess is not as good-looking as you are, how can you like it?

Even if they are themselves, they are used to seeing flowers every day, and suddenly let you face the dog’s tail grass, not to mention like or not disgusting.

Thinking of this, the ladies expressed their understanding.

No way, no one is to blame for this. Who told Afdomir, the god of beauty, to bestow King Gallan with a beauty that ordinary people can’t match?

So no one moved.

They all stood quietly, but they couldn’t help but show regret.

And above the flower stand, holding back the shame that was about to explode in his heart, Garlan, who had completely saved himself, saw that everyone was still there, and he was immediately relieved in his heart.

He shook his head pretentiously and put away the golden fan in his hand.

“In any case, I hope you can spend a pleasant evening at this osechi festival.”

He chuckled and said,

“May Afdomir protect your beauty forever.”

After finishing speaking, Garlan turned sideways, intending to walk down from the side of the stone steps.

But just turned around and took a step, suddenly a voice came from the side, making his footsteps pause.

“Your Majesty, since you failed to pick the princess you like, this golden fan is a waste.”

The priests of Nanna came forward among the ministers who were either pale, staring at each other, or grinning bitterly, as it was said.

“It’s rare to hold such a grand flower osechi celebration. Many beautiful and noble ladies gather together, as charming and charming as a hundred flowers in full bloom.”

Soga bowed slightly and said,

“Since your Majesty does not have a favorite among them, how about handing the golden fan to Master Huimos and letting Master Huimos choose a beautiful lady as his wife?”

In the quiet garden where only the gentle music echoed, his voice was not loud, but it was very clear, allowing everyone to hear clearly.

The eyes of many ministers who were still sighing suddenly lit up.

According to King Garlan’s request, I still don’t know how to find the girl he likes.

After all, that condition is really…too harsh, and it’s very difficult to think about it.

Since the princess’s problem has not been solved, at least the marriage problem of Master Heimos must be solved!

Besides, this lord is older, and he should get married and have children as soon as possible.

As soon as his thoughts turned, the minister immediately echoed Soga, saying that since the king did not choose the princess, it would be good to let Huimos choose a wife.

The ladies blinked, and many people’s eyes quickly fell on Huimos.

Those who were born in aristocratic families looked rather lightly on the issue of feelings, and were used to focusing on being good for themselves. At this moment, they knew that they could not become a princess, so naturally they changed their goals without nostalgia.

Although the behavior of that Master Huimos when he first came in was a bit scary and a bit horrible, but a closer look revealed that he was actually very handsome and outstanding.

Although there is a scar on the corner of the eye, it is completely undamaged, and the danger of the scar seems to be more exciting.

This distinguished status is the only royal person and the current first heir to the throne.

Command the Central Army, with military power in hand.

Moreover, he is known throughout the continent for his bravery, and it is said that he is so powerful that tens of thousands of people have heard about the black knight who fled after hearing the wind.

Immediately, the eyes of many noble ladies began to look at Heimos carefully, thinking about it in their hearts.

In this way, this is the best husband-in-law candidate other than King Garlan.

Hiemos didn’t speak, but looked up at Garlan who was standing on the round platform.

Garlan looked down at him, the golden fan in his hand turned.

“Himos, do you want this?”

Gallan asked him.

The face under the blond hair was calm and there was no emotion, but Huimos clearly saw Garlan’s golden eyes squinting slightly as he looked at him.

The golden eyes that were originally almond-like narrowed into a slender arc, exuding a little dangerous breath.

In that case, although he was asking him, there was a clear warning between the lines.

Huimos laughed.

With a smile, his whole body was as cold as the northern wind, and then the aura disappeared, and all his vitality disappeared.

With that smile, the stern face lines softened, and his eyes seemed soft for a moment.

The snow melts like ice.

Perhaps it was because the horror that was given to people before was too strong, and the strong sense of contrast produced under this smile turned out to make the ladies have a kind of amazing feeling.

If you think about it, taming a fierce beast is quite sensational.

After all, hundreds of steelmaking can also be turned into softness.

Although the black knight seemed scary, as long as he was tamed, he would surely become a gentle husband-in-law.

They thought so confidently.

“The one I adore…”

Huimos said, with a smile on his lips.

Halfway through the conversation, he stopped again.

Under everyone’s gaze, he looked around for a week and then smiled again.

He said: “The person I admire must be someone who is comparable to me, or even stronger than me.”

He said it lightly.

But this sentence left the entire Hua Ting silent for a full quarter of an hour.

It took five minutes longer than when King Garlan announced his request for the princess.

Everyone said, ha ha.

What Heimos said in their ears was that this powerful lord likes a woman with the same fighting power as him.

To be as strong as him, even stronger than him.

No.

nonexistent.

Not to mention now, even if it is a thousand years in the past or a thousand years in the future, it will not exist, exist, or exist!

The ups and downs of the noble ladies could no longer maintain their manners, looking at Heimos with expressionless expressions.

Hiemos didn’t look at them at all. He walked forward and under the round platform.

“If it were not for the person I admired, I would rather be alone for a lifetime.”

He raised his head and looked at Garlan who was standing on the round platform.

“Now, all I have in my mind is to serve my Majesty wholeheartedly.”

He said,

“Other than that, nothing else.”

Looking at Garlan above intently, Huimos extended his hand to Garlan standing above.

After looking at the golden red eyes that looked up at him, Gallan’s eyes squinted for a long time and stretched out.

He raised his lips and smiled, and stepped down the stone steps.

As he walked, he stretched out his hand and placed it on the hand that Huimos reached towards him.

Huimos held Garlan’s hand, raised his head, and watched Garlan walk down.

The act of serving the other party is supposed to be done by the attendant, and he will do it, but it will not give people the slightest feeling of humbleness or deliberately flattering.

The moonlight fell like water, and the green vine flowers entwined on the hollow white jade pillars swayed slightly in the night breeze.

The young king walked down from the white stone steps, his long cloak fell down, and his hem fell on the stone steps.

The black knight with handsome faces and sharp eyebrows stood tall and straight under the stone steps.

He raised his head and looked at his king.

His hand is holding the hand of the king he guards.

The two people who are obviously very different, when standing together, somehow give people an unusually harmonious feeling.

It actually made everyone present suddenly throbbed.

I don’t know if it is an illusion, this scene actually reminds everyone of a scene in the painting inexplicably.

Among the many scrolls showing the deeds of the gods, all the paintings depicting the legend of the flower osechi are the flower god Aphrodite reaching out to the goddess of spring among the blooming flowers, and the two look at each other and both hands. The scene of handshaking.

It seems like this scene in front of everyone at this moment…

…………

illusion.

That is an illusion!

Everyone shook their heads quickly and shook off the painting that had appeared in their heads.

Standing below, Léa, who almost cried with her watery puppy eyes open, flattened her mouth, and withdrew the tears that were pouring in her big black eyes.

Originally, Léa, who felt that she had finally waited for her fateful love affair, heard the words of King Garland, when a girl’s heart was shattered like glass.

She knew she had no hope.

That beautiful relationship ended before it even started.

She was still sad at first, but now looking at the scene in front of her, after a while, she raised her hand and wiped away the tears in her eyes.

never mind.

She thought aggrievedly.

Even if King Garlan did not choose her as the princess, he did not choose other noble girls.

According to King Gallan’s demanding requirements, he probably would never marry the princess in his life.

In this case, he would not belong to other women.

fair enough.

The king should be guarded by a knight.

In case, as written in some novels, it is uncomfortable to get a woman to intervene and let the king and the knight fight for her.

The girl comforted herself so much, she felt comfortable in her heart.

But then again.

It turns out that King Garlan, like her, is a follower of the goddess of love and beauty, Afdomir~~~

…………

No matter how iron and ugly the faces of the ministers and ministers of Zuo Sixiang were, the festival of the flower osechi was stumbled, and it finally ended smoothly.

All the ladies spent an osechi celebration that they will never forget.

Garlan, who had left beforehand, stood in the attic above the flower garden, looking down at the leaving crowd, and let out a long breath.

He finally managed to escape the forced marriage, and he had a great shield.

So even if he recalled what he said in public now and in the future, he would feel ashamed and want to explode, he felt it was worth it.

…Fortunately, there are so-called Afdomir believers in this world, which is the existence of the so-called “beauty is everything” thought.

Therefore, his words will not appear abrupt and will be recognized by everyone.

Presumably his words spread out, and others felt that he was also one of the members who believed in the beauty god Afdomir.

He just let out a long sigh when familiar footsteps came from behind him.

A long shadow appeared beside him.

Even if he didn’t look back, he knew who the man standing behind was.

Gallan opened the golden fan in his hand and glanced at one of the thin cracks.

He said: “It’s really broken.”

He seemed to be talking to himself.

“It’s useless anyway. Since it’s broken, there is no need to keep it.”

Gallan said, throwing it away.

The golden fan fell into the hands of the man behind him.

“Here you are, it’s your reward for repelling the Gestors.”

Gallan said, without looking back, he just waved his hand like this, and then walked away quickly.

Because he walked too fast, his long golden hair flew up behind him.

Heimos, who caught the golden fan, froze for a moment, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he watched Gallan’s back in the dark.

However, just after smiling, he suddenly remembered something and quickly opened the golden fan in his hand.

I saw a fine crack on the gold fan handle with an exquisite hollow pattern.

Huimos gave an annoyed look.

I knew…I didn’t intentionally break it just now.

He held the golden fan and thought depressed.

…………

……………………

On a moonlit and starry night, bright moonlight fell on the sparkling sea.

A huge warship was bathed in moonlight and sailed slowly in the bay, followed by dozens of smaller ships.

On the largest warship, a tall girl stood on the side of the ship, and the violent sea breeze blew her long wavy brown hair high.

A neat leather armor made her look brave.

In the dark night, the girl’s sapphire eyes were shining, looking forward to the north.

[When I grow up, I will come to you. 】
