A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 311. Chapter 311
The night is quiet, only the spring water spraying on the stone statue of the Goddess Isdal in the courtyard makes a low splashing sound.
The hexahedral diamond-shaped crystal column stands in the middle of the courtyard, emitting a soft white light in the dark night.
In the corner of the room, the little milk lion crouched on a soft cushion and curled up into a ball, like a ball of hair, with its fluffy little head buried in its two short legs, making a snoring sound.
It slept soundly, completely unaware of what had just happened in the room.
The night breeze that had been violently blowing for a while just now softened again, and lightly swept across the water of Crescent Lake, lifting a translucent screen, and blowing it into the open French window.
The golden forehead moved slightly, and Garlan sat on the bed and turned his head, and glanced at the light green flower bud tip gently swaying in the wind outside the window.
As soon as he moved, the arms that held him tightened, but it seemed that he was afraid of pain. After tightening, he immediately relaxed.
Gallan’s hand lightly patted Hiemos on the back.
Huimos hugged him and hugged him tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid he would disappear.
The head was buried deep in the fossa of his neck, and the jet black hair was scattered on his shoulders.
It looked like a big dog that had been away from its owner for too long, so it had to lie in its owner’s lap to be at ease, and he would not let go of holding Garland.
Gallan said nothing, did nothing, just let Heimos hold him, and hugged him back in the same way.
He could feel a little bit of soaking touch on his shoulders.
He still didn’t say anything, but from time to time he gently stroked Hiemos’ back with his hand.
I don’t know how long it has passed, the crescent moon has already crossed the sky, and it’s already late at night unknowingly.
“Himos.”
Gallan yelled softly.
After a short pause, Huimos finally raised his head slowly.
His lips were still pressed tightly.
From the beginning to the present, the man’s thin lips have never made a sound.
In the soft light, you can clearly see that the corners of his eyes are red at the moment, so red.
The face is sharp and arrogant as a blade, but now it is full of tears.
Perhaps it is because of this great contrast that makes people feel more distressed.
A strand of wet white hair fell on the corner of his flushed eyes.
Garland looked up at Hiimos. He raised his hand and wiped the tears from Hiemos’ face with his palm.
His fingers ran through the strands of snow-like hair, and then he saw deep scars on the corners of his eyes.
It’s Huimos.
From the look in this person’s eyes, Garland knew that this person was Heimos.
But what he didn’t expect was that Huimos turned out to be Huimos.
There are still burn marks on the hands without palm prints, and there is a scar on the corner of the eye that extends to the ear.
This is the Huimos from two thousand years ago.
He was not reincarnated in this era like Brother Wang or Kaihuos.
Gallan remembered.
Brother Camos said that the barrier of time is extremely powerful. Just to let the soul cross time, the power needed is enough to crush the god seat.
It is absolutely impossible for a person to cross the torrent of time together with the body.
Unless the world is destroyed, the rules fall apart.
Why would Huimos…
But Gallan didn’t want to ask.
Because it is not necessary.
This person is right in front of his eyes now, silent, just keep shed tears, like a child who has suffered all the grievances, which makes him feel distressed.
So he didn’t ask anything, just looked at him, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on that face.
“I wanted to find you.”
Gallan said, his wet fingertips that had just wiped the tears and gently stroked Hoymos’ forehead.
His eyes fell on the unusually conspicuous strands of white hair between the pitch-black forehead.
“Although I don’t know where you will be, will you remember me… I don’t know how long it will take me to find you.”
Heimos, whose lips were tight, didn’t speak immediately, and those fiercely red eyes still looked at Garlan firmly.
“But you said it.”
The man finally spoke.
He spoke very slowly, every word, as if he hadn’t spoken for a long time, and looked rather stiff.
The voice was not only low, it was also terribly hoarse.
“You told me that time…”
He raised his hand and grabbed Garlan’s hands.
He grasped tightly, his brown fingers sinking deeply into his white wrists.
He looked at Garlan with accusing eyes.
“You said, you don’t want me anymore.”
Garlan took a breath.
He didn’t respond for a while, just staring at Hiemos in a daze.
A word, let the memory of that time be overwhelming to attack him.
He remembered his powerlessness at that time, remembered the words he said to Huimos with a smile at that time.
Obviously, it was so uncomfortable, whether it was the body or the deepest part of the body, it was so uncomfortable that it was hard to breathe.
However, he still had to say that to Hiemos with a smile in that calm tone.
[I don’t want you anymore, Hiemos. 】
Gallan lowered his eyes.
He was grasped by Huimos with his hands, but he lowered his head and lowered his eyes.
The blond hair hanging from the cheeks covered his face and cast shadows on his side cheeks.
He slowly clenched his lower lip.
He kept thinking about what to say after he found Hiemos.
Is it’sorry’ or…
Now this person is right in front of his eyes, but he can’t say anything.
He did the cruelest thing to him.
Knowing what he meant to him, he still left him there alone.
[Guard Aaron Landis as you guard me. 】
He knew that Heymos had done everything he said to him.
This man is always like this, always sending everything in front of him without hesitation.
But he took advantage of Heymos’ love for him in such a cruel way to get Heymos to make that promise.
Even if he was protecting Aaron Landis, protecting everyone, and even protecting Huimos, he couldn’t deny this.
Now, facing Huimos, he couldn’t even say “sorry”.
In front of this man, what an’sorry’ was so pale and feeble.
Under the soft light, the slender eyelashes hanging down cast a deep shadow on the boy’s cheeks.
The boy’s lower lip was bitten tightly, and his teeth were deeply trapped, until his lips were slightly white.
At this moment, Hiemos suddenly bowed his head, leaned over, and kissed Garlan.
He held the opponent’s lips, and the soft tip of his tongue opened Garlan’s teeth that clenched his lower lip with extremely gentle movements.
Loosing his grasping wrists, he held Gallan’s head in both hands, and his tongue gently licked|licked the bitten white spot on the boy’s lips like soothing.
Very pity.
After a while, Hiemos raised his head, gently pressed his forehead to Garlan’s head, and nudged it.
“Don’t bite.”
He said,
“I’m not angry anymore.”
Obviously he was still complaining a second ago, but now he is quietly coaxing the person in his arms.
“I just purposely scared you, I’m not angry.”
He held Garlan’s head in both hands, rubbing his forehead lightly against the blond hair.
The warmth passed from the opponent’s forehead softened Hiemos’ eyes.
His fingers kept stroking the warm skin, which was completely different from the cold body in his memory.
That kind of warmth penetrated into his body, as if to dissipate the coldness of more than two thousand years.
As he said, he kissed the corners of the eyes, forehead and ears of the boy in his arms like a dragonfly.
“Don’t bite.”
He said, in a hoarse voice.
“I feel bad.”
The chest that originally seemed to be heavily pressed suddenly sore, and even the tip of his nose seemed to become sour.
Gallan stretched out his hand and hugged the person in front of him tightly.
Trying to endure the thick sorrow of the tip of his nose, he buried his entire face in the opponent’s broad chest.
It was an embrace he couldn’t be more familiar with.
He closed his eyes and pressed his cheeks against the man’s strong chest. Through that thin layer of muscle, he could hear a clear heartbeat coming from deep in the other’s chest.
Click, click again.
Strong and powerful.
Let him feel unspeakable at ease.
[No matter where you are, I will come to you. 】
[Even hell. 】
Every word he said to him was a promise.
…………
……………………
That night more than two thousand years ago.
In the dark night, the brilliance of the stars in the sky.
On the top floor of the White Royal Tomb Palace, in the shrine located at the highest point of the palace, the sky roof and the four walls are all stone reliefs of the gods of Aaron Landis.
The night was terribly quiet.
The black-haired man squatted halfway in the center of the empty temple, and the boy’s cold body was held in his arms.
He raised his head and slowly looked around the reliefs of the gods on the stone wall of the temple with a crippling gaze.
“I know you can hear my voice.”
At the price of his achievements in unifying the mainland, he asked for a contract with the gods.
In the beginning, the gods were just silent and never responded to his words.
And he didn’t speak any more and remained indifferent.
For two days and three nights, he was motionless, like a stone statue.
The gods who could no longer remain silent finally responded to him.
[If’he’ does not return, your soul will be trapped in this body forever, and will never be freed. 】
The gods had warned him so.
[Even so, do you have to sign this contract? 】
The man nodded without hesitation.
The sighs of the gods sounded in the void.
【as you wish. 】
From the moment when the contract was made with the gods, time stood still on Huimos.
Since then, his heart no longer beats.
From then on, time will not pass on him.
Those strands of white hair that were like snow in a flash were a symbol of the contract.
Before Garlan set foot on the land of Aaron Landis again, his time will always stay at the moment of signing the contract.
…
After signing a contract with the gods, he walked out of the tomb and inherited the throne.
Accomplishing the mission of the gods and reaching the line of destiny is his only goal.
Otherwise, he doesn’t care about anything.
Because time is still, his appearance has not changed for decades in his reign.
Although everyone was amazed at this, no one dared to talk too much because of the fear of him.
Thirty-two years later, he entered the royal tomb after completing the task and began to wait in deep sleep.
And this class is more than two thousand years.
…………
Holding the beloved person who had been waiting for two thousand years in his arms, Heimos’ low and hoarse voice sounded in the quiet night, speaking out his contract with the gods.
Garlan listened quietly.
It wasn’t until the end that he raised his hand and touched the handsome face that was indistinguishable from two thousand years ago.
He said softly, “You never thought about it. If I didn’t go back two thousand years later, or I couldn’t come to Aaron Landis because of an accident, what would you do?”
“Then keep sleeping.”
Embracing the warm body of the boy in his arms with nostalgia, said Hiemos.
He said it lightly.
“It’s okay if you don’t wake up.”
If he doesn’t fall asleep, he might fall into madness in the long wait.
If the person in his arms is not there when he wakes up, he would rather fall asleep forever.
“I don’t need to be reincarnated.”
He said,
“Whether it is you two thousand years ago or you two thousand years later, you are all’you’.”
“If you don’t have this contract, after two thousand years, the’I’ you meet may not be me.”
“I don’t allow it.”
Reincarnation?
No, he never believed in the afterlife.
He only wants the person in front of him at this moment, as long as now.
Perhaps it was thinking of something unpleasant to him, Heimos tightened his arms.
He has a cold tone.
“Even if that is the reincarnated me, I absolutely can’t stand’he’ touching you, let alone being kind to him.”
Gallan was momentarily dumb.
After a while, he raised his hand and poked Hiemos in the cheek.
“It’s stingy.”
“Whatever you say.”
The man who unconcealed his great exclusivity grabbed the hand that had prod his cheek several times, lowered his head, and blocked Garlan’s mouth forcefully.
“Not even the other me.” He said, “You can only be mine!”
Can only belong to me.
