A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 304. Chapter 304

Summer is coming to an end, but it is the hottest moment for Aaron Landis.

Early in the morning, the blazing sun was already high in the sky, sprinkling light and heat to the earth, making the whole world bright to the extreme.

The big lion’s golden-brown mane was shiny with the sunlight coming in from the skylight.

Its two front paws rested on the edge of the bed, and its huge head was lying on the bed.

Garland sat on the bed, holding a light green glass cup, drinking warm milk bit by bit.

After drinking, he raised his head and handed the glass cup to Taputi, who saw a trace of milky white on the corner of his lips and couldn’t help laughing.

She stretched out her hand and gently wiped the milk mark from the corner of Garlan’s mouth with her fingers.

“It’s like a child.”

She said with a smile, and then raised her hand to touch Gallan’s forehead.

The temperature seems to have dropped a bit.

She thought, looking at the breakfast that had been eaten more than half, her expression relaxed slightly.

Seeing that Gallan had finished eating and drinking, Niegaao’s cry was obviously attracting Gallan’s attention.

Garlan looked at it, and it looked at Garlan eagerly.

Because of Garlan’s illness, it hadn’t seen Garlan for a long time. It clearly showed the mighty face of the king of beasts, and showed a grieved expression at Garlan abruptly.

The dull and aggrieved appearance caused Gallan to hug Nega’s fluffy head, rub it vigorously, bury his face in it, and rub it against it.

The big lion arched his head, purring and purring in his throat, and his long tail flicked.

Rubbing Nega’s bushy mane and hugging the lion, Garlan smiled happily.

The magistrate who ordered the maid to take the tableware away looked back at this scene and couldn’t help showing a knowing smile.

Your majesty’s spirit looks good today.

She was thinking so comfortably, when she suddenly saw Garlan get out of bed, she was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

“It doesn’t matter, Taputi, I think I am in good physical condition today.”

Garland said,

“The doctor also said, stay as active as possible, don’t you?”

He said this with a smile, then lifted the screen and walked with Nega to the large balcony outside the French windows.

In the early morning, under the sun, the outer Crescent Lake was sparkling, and the lavender lotus was gently swaying among the green leaves, and the pearl-like water beads rolled on the green leaves, reflecting the colorful luster.

In the air, a breeze with the sweet fragrance of lotus flowers blew over.

Looking up at the cloudless clear sky, Gallan laughed.

“nice weather.”

He smiled and said, the long golden hair spread out behind him, spreading the golden luster in the air.

As if responding to his words, Nega screamed at the sun in the sky, then turned to look at him, as if asking for praise.

Gallan laughed and patted its head vigorously, causing it to roll under Gallan’s feet.

“Taputi.”

“Yes?”

“Notify Xiemuer.”

Facing the sun, Garlan stood on the balcony, the sun shining on his face, and his pale face seemed to be more rosy at this moment.

He put one hand on the head of the lion next to him, raised his head, and looked to the sky.

The blowing wind lifted up a few strands of long golden hair, passing his bright eyes, passing his side cheeks, and flying backwards.

He said: “In an hour, I will summon everyone in the government affairs hall.”

The magistrate, who was looking at Garlan’s back softly with a smile, had her gaze stagnated, and her smile disappeared from her face in an instant.

After a while, she bowed her head to the back of her majesty and bowed in salute.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

The magistrate replied.

When she was speaking, she closed her eyes, clenched her hands firmly in front of her, and pierced her fingertips deeply into her palms.

…………

……………………

In a huge government affairs hall, sunlight slanted in from the skylights everywhere, flooding the hall with light.

The golden throne stands on a high platform, gathering sunlight from all directions and emitting light.

The young Wang sat quietly on the golden throne, closed his eyes, and placed one hand on the armrest of the throne, as if bathed in radiance.

Fragmented golden light spots leaped in his hair.

The lapis lazuli and laurel branch crown was worn on his golden hair, as if it had merged with it.

The government affairs hall was very quiet, except for the extremely shallow breathing, there was no other sound.

Everyone was silent.

They stared at King Garlan on the throne.

The young Wang was much thinner, his body getting slender, his pale complexion was almost translucent in the sunlight, as if it would melt into the light at any time.

At first glance, it was shocking inexplicably.

However, even with such a slender body, it obviously couldn’t occupy one-third of the space of the throne, but it gave people the feeling that the throne had no gaps at all, and even such a huge throne could not hold him.

It was like the invisible huge aura emanating from the young king, flooding and suppressing the entire golden throne.

Not knowing how long it took, King Garlan opened his eyes.

On the pale face, only those golden eyes were astonishingly bright.

“Sheemur, continue to build the Avenue of Aaron Landis. After the main road is completed, continue to build the side road leading to the small and medium-sized city.”

“Suga, strengthen the law enforcement force, as far as possible, in three to five years, let all Aaron Landis people know.”

“Left Secretary, do not increase taxes within ten years, and ensure water conservancy everywhere. Every year, more than three Solga temples must be added across the country.”

“Kyjos, pay attention to the placement of soldiers who have retired due to old age and injuries. You should discuss with the Secretary-General Zuo more about the military town.”

“Tal, you have done a good job all the time, just keep doing this.”

…………

On the throne, the young king said one by one the names of his subordinates.

He calmly and methodically explained to his subordinates what he had planned to do in the future.

The people named by him came out one by one, leaned over to them and knelt to the ground.

They bowed their heads deeply to their king.

Everyone was speechless.

Even Fat Tal, who couldn’t control the pattering of tears, resisted the sound of sobbing.

In the hall, only the clear voice of King Gallan echoed in it, like clear spring water flowing in the sun, gently surrounding everyone.

When King Garlan stopped temporarily, everyone in the hall had knelt to the ground.

There is only one person.

Only the man standing under the throne and closest to the throne was still standing.

The hall was terribly quiet, and time seemed to stagnate at this moment.

The sunlight flooded the hall, making it as if the shadows were lost here, and every spot was changing with a scorching light.

Bright to the extreme, it made everything empty.

After a short pause, King Garlan called out the name of the only person still standing.

“Himos.”

The air seemed to vibrate for a moment in this shout.

At the call of King Garlan, Heimos took a step and walked up the cyan stone steps.

He walked very steadily, not hurriedly, step by step.

In the silent hall, the heavy footsteps made by his dark boots stepping on the stone slabs were particularly clear.

Before reaching the throne, Huimos leaned over and knelt down in front of Garland on one knee.

He kept his head down, the fine black hair scattered, and thick shadows shrouded his face, making it difficult to see the look on his face.

Garland lowered his eyes as he watched Hiemos kneeling before him silently.

Now he finally understands what he felt when King Camos threw him into the cave and then resolutely turned away from him.

Can’t bear it.

Reluctant.

It must be done.

Because he is the king of Aaron Landis.

Garlan raised his hand and took off the golden crown on his head with both hands.

On the lapis lazuli where the cyan light is flowing, that bright red blood drop will flow.

“Himos.”

The young king personally put the golden crown on the dark hair of Hiemos who was kneeling in front of him.

“Guard Aaron Landis.”

Gallan said.

And the next sentence he said was so soft that only they could hear each other.

“…As if guarding me.”

I know how cruel what I have done to you.

but……

Huimos.

Please protect Aaron Landis as you protect me.

…………

……………………

Today, the whole day is cloudless, like the day, and so at night.

In the dead of night, people are quiet, and the round and bright moon hangs high in the night sky, casting mercury-like brilliance on the ground.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the stars all over the sky were dimmed in front of it, and the entire night sky seemed to have only its existence.

A black-feathered eagle draped in the moonlight, standing with two claws holding the stone fence, staring at Garlan with sharp eyes.

Its pupils reflected Garlan’s shadow, as if it had been branded in the depths.

Fingertips stroked the dark feathers, stretched out his hand and pushed, and the black eagle spread its wings and flew towards the endless sky, making a short cry.

Garlan sat on the bench in the stone fence, leaning against the stone fence behind him, looking sideways at the figure of Anu flying into the sky.

When the dark shadow melted into the night, he withdrew his gaze.

He said, “Are you angry?”

He smiled and said, looking at the snow-white stone pillars embedded in the stone fence beside him.

On the other side of the stone pillar, Huimos stood there.

Huimos crossed his arms and leaned on the stone pillar with his back facing Garlan.

The huge stone pillar separated the two of them, and Garland could only see the small half of Huimos’s body protruding from the side of the stone pillar.

After arriving on the balcony, Hiemos seemed to be awkward with him, standing behind the stone pillar with his back to him, refusing to talk to him for a long time.

But Piansheng exposed half of his body for him to see, as if silently telling him,’I’m not happy, I’m angry, come and coax me’.

Garland tilted his head and looked at the small half of Heimos’s body exposed from behind the stone pillar for a while.

“Himos.”

He said,

“I want to touch you.”

Heimos, who had been facing Garlan all the time, turned his head and looked at Garlan with his golden-red eyes.

Garlan looked at him with innocent eyes and stretched out a hand to him.

Huimos sighed low, lowered his arms around his chest, and walked towards Garland.

He leaned over, lowered his head, and put his forehead against Garlan, who was smiling at him with eyes bent.

His hand pinched Garlan’s chin, but the strength of his fingers was very light.

Gallan smiled at him, raised his arms around his neck, and actively rubbed the tip of his nose with the tip of his nose, as if to please him.

Huimos lowered his eyes and kissed the other’s lips.

The lips are no longer the pale pink like cherry blossoms in the past, they are no longer bloody, and they are so pale that it makes people feel distressed when they look at them.

He was always trying his best to endure his impulse to rudely re-stain his pale lips with rosy color.

The person in his arms is too fragile, so fragile that he dare not touch it more.

I’m afraid that if I touch it, it will shatter in his hands.

But this person is too tough.

Tough to the point that he couldn’t help feeling angry and unwilling.

——He can give everything for Aaron Landis, but he is more cruel to him——

However, no matter how much anger, no matter how unwilling, will disappear completely when you see the person in front of you.

In front of this person, he is always weak.

A word of this person can control all of him.

“Gallan…”

He closed his eyes, pressed the forehead of the person in his arms, muttered, and called the name reluctantly.

He heard Garlan hum slightly, raised his head and rubbed his cheek, he could feel the familiar touch of the soft skin.

Obviously he was struggling with his beloved, but his chest was empty.

It’s like walking on the edge of a cliff, falling from the sky anytime, anywhere, to pieces.

Huimos opened his eyes, and he saw golden hair slipping from his eyes, and a few strands of long hair hanging on the snow-white stone fence.

Crossing the stone fence, he saw the sparkling pool water behind Garlan.

On the shore of the pool, that patch of lavender hyacinths swayed gently in the wind, like an undulating lavender ocean.

For some reason, he stared at the hyacinth for a long time.

“What are you looking at?”

Perceiving that Hiemos was in a trance, Gallan turned his head and followed his gaze.

Looking at the Crescent Lake behind him in the direction of Himos, he thought that Himos was looking at the lotus blooming in the pool.

He also looked at it.

Among the green lotus leaves, the lavender lotus has bloomed to the extreme, this is their last blooming moment.

He said: “Summer is about to pass, and these lotus flowers are about to thank.”

Having said this, Garlan seemed to suddenly remember something, and turned to look at Heimos, with a smile in his eyes.

“Huimos, do you remember that the last time you wooed me, you did a stupid thing.”

Spread the gorgeous red roses all over the wooden palace, and at first glance, it looked like a burning flame.

Startled him.

So he flatly rejected Huimos.

“It’s fine to send flowers, but I still gave my least favorite flowers.”

Garlan put one hand on the stone fence and looked at Heimos sideways.

“Now you know why I was rejected at that time?”

Huimos lowered his head and looked at the people around him.

He asked in a low voice, “What about Lotus, do you like it?”

Gallan thought for a while.

He said: “It’s okay, Lotus is pretty good.”

The lotus seeds are delicious.

Of course, he did not say the following sentence.

As soon as Gallan’s words fell silent, Huimos, who was standing next to him, suddenly put his hand on the stone fence in front of him and jumped.

In Gallan’s stunned gaze, Hiemos jumped directly over the stone fence of the balcony and into the crescent pool below.

With a pop, water splashed everywhere, and several water splashes fell on the dumb face of Gallan.

He blinked, a little confused.

Huimos stood in the pool. The Crescent Pool was not deep enough to reach his waist and abdomen, but he just jumped down, and the splashing water poured through his upper body.

At this moment, standing in the pool, water drops dripping from the tips of his hair.

He stood in the water, looking up at Garlan, who was lying on the stone fence and staring at him blankly.

He asked: “Which one do you like best?”

Garland: “…”

So he jumped down to pick himself flowers?

After blinking dumbly for a few more times, Gallan came back to his senses and looked at Heimos, who was standing wet in the pool and waiting for him to answer. He just felt dumbfounded.

But looking at Huimos’ serious eyes, he glanced and deliberately pointed at the one on the edge of the pool, the one farthest from Huimos.

“that.”

He said.

Huimos looked in the direction Galan was pointing, and immediately saw Gallan’s thoughts. He glanced at Gallan helplessly, but his eyes were clearly indulgent and pampered.

He walked there quickly and broke down the lotus flower.

It is the end of summer, the last moment of all lotus blooms.

This lotus flower is still half-open in bud, and a very faint purple halo is dotted on the white petals like a cloud.

Huimos took off the lotus, and his eyes faintly passed over the hyacinth flowers swaying gently in front of him.

He turned, still in the pool, and walked back to where he had just jumped.

Garlan lay on the stone fence to look at him.

Hiemos stood in the water, half of his body submerged in the clear water.

He looked up at Garlan, and lifted the half-open lotus flower in his hand to Garlan.

Gallan didn’t reach out to pick it up. He still lay his arms on the stone fence, his chin on his arms, tilted his head, bent his eyes, and looked at him with a smile.

“Are you wooing me?”

The golden red eyes reflected the moonlight, as if shining in the dark night.

In Huimos’ pupils, everything disappeared, leaving only the figure of Gallan with a curly eyed smile.

Apart from this, there is nothing else.

He said: “Yeah.”

He said: “My heart will only beat for you.”

My soul will only exist because of you.

only for you.

“This time, you can’t refuse me anymore.” He said: “If you refuse me again…”

“If I refuse you again, what will happen to you?”

Garlan asked him with a smile.

“I will be angry.”

Heimoston gave a moment, then repeated.

“very angry.”

He said, deliberately accentuating the tone.

Gallan couldn’t help but laughed out loud.

He looked at Heimos, who was staring at him with his head lifted and his thin lips tightly closed. The shallow moonlight fell on his face, making his gaze looking down at Heimos more gentle.

“good.”

Gallan said.

He smiled softly at Huimos.

He stretched out his hand from the stone fence and went to pick up the half-open lotus that Hiemos held to him.

He said: “I…”

The moonlight reflected the snow-white fingers that Garlan stretched out almost translucent, whiter than the white petal tips that it was about to touch.

Next second

Just when the fingertips were about to touch the petal tips.

It suddenly fell.

The hand suddenly dropped from the air and lay softly outside the stone fence.

Gallan, who was lying on the stone fence, closed her eyes, tilted her head, and rested her arm, as if sleeping peacefully.

His chest stopped rising and falling.

Under the silent night sky, only the sound of a person’s breathing remained.

Hiemos looked up and stood in the pool, completely wet.

Drenched black hair was attached to his shiny brown cheeks, and water dripped from the tips of the hair and slid down his cheeks.

Finally, it clicked and dropped into the water.

He just stood there, still holding up the half-open lotus, towards Gallan who was lying on the stone fence.

He seemed to be stubbornly waiting.

The night wind slowly blows, blowing across the sparkling water, blowing as if Gallan’s slender eyelashes are trembling.

A purple petal fell from the lotus held by Hiemos, and floated softly on the calm water.

Huimos stood for a long, long time.

Like a carved stone statue, standing silently in the water.

The silver moonlight cast off his paleness.
