A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 317. Chapter 317
In the morning, the sky was clear and vigorous, and patches of white clouds were floating in the blue sky.
The sun is not as hot as noon, the breeze is slow, and the temperature is the most comfortable time.
Under the leadership of Camos, Garlan came to a golden palace.
An arc-shaped bluestone arch stands in front of this golden palace, and two huge lion statues stand on both sides of the arch.
Lifelike lions guard the arches, their heads held high, their postures are majestic and majestic.
Gallan raised his head and stared at the golden palace in front of him.
The layout of this palace is completely different from other palaces. The entire palace has only one spacious hall and no other side halls.
On the way here, Camos had told him that this palace was where the stone statues of Aaron Landis were placed.
Except for some special circumstances, the current emperor Aaron Landis must come here every year to worship the ancestors.
Except for the royal guards guarding here, only the bloodline of the royal family is eligible to step into this palace.
This year’s sacrifice has passed, but this time it happens to be a special situation.
The blood of the royal family who had fallen outside returned to Aaron Landis, and of course they had to come here to worship the ancestors.
This is also to declare to everyone that Gallan has been recognized by the ancestors of the past, and the identity of the prince is unshakable.
After bringing Garlan here, Camos was silent for a while.
“Gallan.”
“Um?”
“About your matter, for the sake of safety, only the father, I, Kaihuos who was sent to protect you and Tapti who secretly contacted Kaihuos knew about it.”
Camos said, “Other than that, no one else knows about your existence.”
When he said this, he paused for a while before continuing.
“In other words, no one else is very familiar with you except Kayjos and Tapti.”
“Yes? I know this, for my safety.”
Seeing Camos suddenly mention this matter, Gallan was a little strange.
Camos hesitated and stopped.
In the end, he still didn’t say anything, just took a big step into it.
The guard at the back stood quietly with his head down, and did not follow.
Without the permission of the emperor, no one except the royal blood could step into this palace without authorization.
When Camos entered the arch, the royal guards standing on both sides of the arch bowed their heads to salute Camos and Garland.
They are wearing royal guards-style armor, and the royal guards armor made of special metal glows with a shallow golden luster in the sun.
There was only a bright red pattern on the shoulder armor, which seemed to be stained with blood, symbolizing the blood oath of the Royal Guards.
Walking into it, you can see countless stone pillars supporting this huge hall.
The roof is like a dome, and the interlaced multicolored glaze depicts the gorgeous murals, reflecting the sunlight and shining brightly.
And in front of the arc-shaped wall that can’t see the end at a glance, there are countless busts of stone statues.
Those are all stone busts of Aaron Landis.
Garlan looked around, trying very hard to find something.
Camos, who fully understood Garlan’s mind and had done similar things the first time he came in, took him to a certain place.
More than two thousand years ago, the bust of the Lion King, King Wise King, and King Huimos stood in front of the wall.
The wall behind the stone statue is carved with their respective deeds.
With a certain subtle mood, Garlan looked over curiously.
However, after only one glance, the boy fell into a long silence.
These three stone busts… seem to… seem to… almost… can’t see the difference?
Except for hairstyle and clothing, it looks like a person at first glance.
…Well, just like the historical celebrities in the history books he studied before, except for their hairstyles and clothes…
Camos laughed as he looked at the little brother who was silently silent.
When I was young, when I saw these three busts for the first time, the feeling of wanting to vomit blood but not being able to vomit it out was not his personal experience.
He patted Gallan on the head while laughing.
Guessing that Brother Camos must have deliberately watched his jokes, Gallan glanced at Camos in an angry manner.
He was about to say something when suddenly a familiar voice came from behind him.
“His Majesty.”
That familiar voice stopped Garlan’s mind for a moment.
As soon as he turned around and raised his eyes, he saw the person who had just spoken out.
A tall man stood in front of him, wearing a light golden armor of the Royal Guard.
Short curly tan hair is neatly combed behind the cheeks and ears.
The angular lips were pursed slightly, coupled with the solemn and stern look in his eyes, making his face more serious and rigid.
At first glance, people will know that this is a man who has no EQ like a stone and is not close to humanity.
He glanced at Garlan.
“Meeting for the first time, Your Royal Highness.”
He looked at the prince he had seen for the first time with an unfamiliar gaze, without the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.
Leaning over, knelt down on one knee, he reported his identity blankly.
“I am the commander of the Royal Guards, Xiemur.”
He said, in a tone as strange as his eyes.
The heart that was beating violently in the previous moment fell for no reason, and fell heavily.
Gallan’s lips opened, but he didn’t know what to say.
He lowered his eyes, the shadow of his slender eyelashes concealed his pupils, and the hands hanging beside him clenched unconsciously.
Camos glanced at the silent Gallan from the corner of his eye, and sighed silently in the bottom of his heart.
Kaihus and Tapti are okay. Although they don’t have any memories of the past, they are very close to Garlan because one grew up guarding Garlan and the other watched Garlan grow up with his own eyes.
But Xiemuer…
He also only met Xiemuer who became a royal guard a few years ago, so Xiemuer didn’t know about Gallan.
Therefore, to the Sheemur of this life, if Gallan did not have the identity of a prince, he would be a complete stranger to him.
As the head of the Royal Guards regiment, he only has the duty and responsibility to guard the prince, but he has no affection for Garlan.
You can imagine how Gallan would feel about the strange attitude of Sheemur.
It was precisely because of this that Camos never let Garlan and Xiemuer meet.
However, it is impossible not to meet all the time.
Therefore, after Camos hesitated for a long time, taking advantage of this opportunity to sacrifice to the ancestors, let the two meet.
In Camos’s complicated gaze, the slightly silent young man raised his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
Garlan looked at Xiemur, who was kneeling in front of him, and smiled and said, “It’s nice to meet you, Captain Xiemur.”
…
………………
Just after taking a shower, Hiemos wiped his wet black hair with a towel.
Drops of water dripped from the tips of his hair to his cheeks, making a mark of water on the brownish skin.
A gaze kept falling on him.
Huimos turned his head to look.
Garland was sitting on the stone fence outside the French window, with one knee up, his arms resting on his left knee, his chin resting on his arms, and he kept looking at Heimos with his eyes.
He just stared at Hiemos in a daze. He had been watching for a long time without moving.
Hiemos walked over and touched Garlan’s forehead.
“What’s wrong?”
he asks.
Gallan looked up at him, his figure reflected in the golden pupils.
“I’m thinking……”
The young man raised his hand, held his hand, and pressed his palm to his face.
The scarred brown palms clung to the fair and tender skin.
“If you didn’t make a contract with the gods, but reincarnation…”
Garlan said softly.
He closed his eyes and gently rubbed his rough palm with his cheek.
“I will definitely find you, no matter how long it takes, I will find you too.”
“I thought so.”
“I also know that even if you find you who are reincarnated, you won’t remember me.”
“But, if you look at me with strange eyes when I find you…”
When Gallan said this, he suddenly paused.
He held Huimos’s hand tighter.
He closed his eyes and moved the end of his eyelashes lightly.
“I will be very…very sad…”
Even if I understand it in my heart, even if I know that this kind of thing is unavoidable, even if I am ready to face people I used to be familiar with, I can’t remember myself.
However, it still feels uncomfortable.
Gallan stretched out his hand, hugged the man standing in front of him tightly, and buried his face deeply in the other’s arms.
His face rubbed against Heymos’ abdomen, and the movement revealed a deep attachment, as if he was acting like a baby.
Huimos didn’t speak, he just looked down at the boy in his arms, his eyes were deep, as if he was thinking about something, but his eyes were still very gentle.
His hand gently stroked the young blond hair.
