A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 318. Chapter 318

In the afternoon, the sun was just right in the city of Aaron Landis as always.

In the courtyard, the water droplets from the fountain of the stone statue of the Star Goddess brought a refreshing breath to the air.

In the room, it is still the usual teaching time for the chief priestess every afternoon.

For Gallan, listening to Tapti’s teachings is quite rare, after all, Sheemur was responsible for teaching him in the past.

But in this life, Xiemuer became a military commander and became a royal guard, and Tapti took his place.

Gallan also understood in his heart that everyone cannot be the same in every life.

It’s just that even if he understands, thinking of the strange eyes Xie Muer looked at him yesterday, he still…

Just when Garlan was in a trance, the chief priestess who had finished explaining the entire territory of Aaron Landis took a sip of herbal tea, revealing a look of dissatisfaction.

“I really don’t know what your Majesty is thinking.”

As she spoke, she took another sip of herbal tea.

“Huimoss is clearly your guard, but your Majesty grabs him every day, saying that he wants to exercise his martial arts. Shouldn’t this matter be left to other generals?”

Gallan laughed a little bit, not easy to talk to.

In fact, he was a little worried at first about the things that Brother Wang was holding on to Heimos every day, and he had considered whether to talk to Brother Wang.

However, Huimos said that although King Camos used to teach him as a reason, he actually taught him a lot of modern powers very seriously, such as the use of energy guns that he didn’t know anything about. of. And he also wanted to learn those powers he didn’t have in this era as soon as possible.

Therefore, Gallan acquiesced to the fact that King Camos would find Huimos from time to time.

“It’s okay, Huimos is not there, isn’t there still Kajos?”

After Kayjos returned to Aaron Landis, Camos had been assigned a position to become a military attache. Because of his position, Kayjos had to stay with Camos.

However, every time Camos sent Kaijos to call Huimos away, Kaijos would stay and take care of Garlan.

So the guard who stayed outside the palace now is Kaihuos.

“Well, it’s not the first time your Majesty’s willfulness…”

The chief priestess who had been tortured by this wayward majesty for a long time and was forced to get used to sighed helplessly.

She looked at Garlan, and suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile.

“For example, your name should be the first emperor, but at that time, your majesty, who was only a teenager, all sorts of slaps, he just snatched your naming right from the first emperor.”

She smiled and looked at Garlan softly.

“So, prince, your majesty gave you your name.”

“‘Clear sky’, he said, this is a very good name. He hopes you will live in the sun all your life, and hope that your mood will always be like sunny weather and carefree.”

Garlan thought for a while, and then asked, “Speaking of my name, Taput, there is one thing I have always cared about.”

“Yes?”

“Although you haven’t taught me the history of Aaron Landis, after returning here, I read some of it myself, so I also know some of the more famous history.”

Garlan asked curiously.

“Brother Wang’s name, my name, and your name, Kaihuos, Huimos, and the leader of Sheemur… so many of the same names happen to be together, it seems a bit strange?”

Knowing that the names of Kaihuos and others were still the same as in the previous life, Gallan had been wondering.

Although the appearance and personality of the reincarnations may be similar, it is impossible to have exactly the same name. Isn’t that a coincidence?

Garlan’s question made Tapti laugh again.

She raised her hand to cover her lips, but the corners of her lips couldn’t restrain the upward movement, but there was helplessness in her smile.

“Actually, I didn’t call it this name before, neither Kaihus nor Captain Sheemur.”

“what?”

“I heard that your Majesty was not the same name before.”

“what??”

“Probably when your majesty was in his ten years old, he suddenly said that he would change his name. The first emperor was originally not allowed, but the character of his majesty…cough cough, in short, the first emperor really has nothing to do with him, and in the end he can only change it himself. name.”

“…”

“Later, I was chosen as your majesty’s attendant, and your majesty gave me the name directly. At that time, Kyjos, who was still his majesty’s guard, was also named by his majesty. Later, at that time, he was just a guard of an ordinary royal guard. The same is true for Moor.”

Although some people have murmured a word or two secretly, they are actually very envious and jealous.

After all, there are only three of them who have the honor to be treated differently by your majesty and given a name.

That is the proof that they are the confidants of your majesty.

“…”

“Later, the first emperor talked to me about this. The first emperor thought that his majesty must have seen the legendary hero lion king Camos at that time, and his majesty admired him very much, so he had to change his name. He also gave us the names of the subordinates who had merits around the Lion King at that time.”

“…”

Gallan didn’t know what to say for a while.

Brother Wang’s operation really left him speechless.

However, being regarded as one’s own admirer is also dumbfounding.

Presumably, when Brother Wang was considered by everyone to be an admirer of the Lion King two thousand years ago, he must have been upset and complicated in his heart, and he was extremely depressed.

Thinking of this, Gallan couldn’t help but laugh with Taputi.

“But it’s a pity that none of the three of us were able to become those people in history according to your Majesty’s wishes.”

Tapti continued with a smile and said, “I don’t want to be a magistrate. I entered the temples to become a priest. Kehos disappeared and became a guard to protect you, and Sheemur, holding the name of the high priest, just became a priest. The commander of the Royal Guards.”

She said, “By the way, you should have seen him yesterday, right?”

That palace was just one of the places the Royal Guards were responsible for guarding. The Royal Guards also had other responsibilities, so Xiemur, who was usually the head of the regiment, would not stay there.

However, when His Majesty went there to worship the ancestors, as the head of the group, he must be by his side.

Gallan nodded.

“Yes. He…”

He hesitated and said, “He is a serious man.”

“Yes, the character of Xiemur is actually more suitable to be a priest. It is said that an old chief priest once actively wanted to call him into the temples and let him inherit his position, but Xiemur rejected him instead. Into the Royal Guards.”

His Majesty Camos once asked Sheemur privately, curiously, why he refused.

At that time, she was beside her and heard Xiemur’s answer.

Sheemur said that he had a very strange illusion since he was a child. He always felt that he could not protect the people who were very important to him.

It feels like there have been many times in the past, he tried to protect someone, but in the end they all failed.

Therefore, he has been desperately making himself stronger since he was a child.

Because being a priest cannot have the power to protect others, he doesn’t want to do it.

At that time, the curious Majesty, who was accustomed to these strange words, said nothing.

He just raised his hand and patted Xie Muer’s shoulder, sighed infrequently, and never asked further.

…………

“Prince?”

Seeing the prince whose eyes were suddenly ecstatic for some reason, Tapti called out softly.

“What are you thinking?”

She said, “Is it because Sheemer has a bad attitude towards you? Don’t worry too much. He is an impersonal guy. He treats everyone like that, even his Majesty.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

After returning to his senses, Gallan looked at her, her eyes were clear, reflecting the sunlight, and they became brighter.

The boy’s eyes curled up like a crescent arc.

He said: “He will like me.”

When he said this, he seemed to be smiling happily and he was full of confidence.

“I like him very much.” The young man propped his cheek with one hand, tilted his head, watching Taputi’s curved eyes filled with a star-like smile, “So I think he will like me too.”

In every life, even the few failures, that person has always been by his side.

Even if he fails, that person has been stubbornly guarding him until the end.

Even if it’s a stranger.

It doesn’t matter if there is no memory.

The familiar soul still exists.

He should believe that the bond between souls will still exist.

So, it doesn’t matter if you don’t remember, as long as you get to know each other again, and create memories of each other again.

He believes in himself, and also believes in Xiemur.

At this moment, all the gloom that had been accumulated in his heart since yesterday disappeared, and Gallan changed his hands to support his chin, his eyes curled, and he began to ponder with a smile.

It seemed that he had to find some excuses to meet Xiemur and bully… Oh, no, as a prince, he had to get acquainted with the head of the Royal Guard as soon as possible.

…………

On the other side, both Garlan and Tapti thought that Camos, who was in the training ground, was standing in front of the temples at this moment.

After two thousand years of inheritance, the temple has been very different from before.

Thousands of years ago, an internal battle between the Shamash Temple and the Nanna Temple led to the decline of the country, so after that, the power of the Temple was greatly reformed.

Although there are still many separate temples of different gods among the people, the main temple under the control of the royal court cannot be divided into different factions.

In the palace, there is only one temple of the gods.

The thirteen gods who worshipped Aaron Landis in the temples.

In other words, folk priests can worship and serve a certain deity alone, but priests with official status do not divide into factions, and must serve thirteen gods together.

“What did you let me take you here for?”

Camos asked when looking back at Huimos beside him.

Huimos stared at the magnificent and magnificent temple in front of him, with sharp arcs in the corners of his eyes.

A cold arc flashed across the edge of the golden-red pupils, and he said, “Debt.”

After speaking, he strode inside.

…………

After studying with Tapiti for an entire afternoon, Garlan only felt dizzy and his brain swelled sharply.

What else did Brother Wang say that he doesn’t need to take the exam… But what is the difference between him and the candidates who are reviewing and preparing for the exam now?

Garlan thought bitterly.

The chief priestess was standing behind the table, resigning to him.

The young man stretched his arms and lay on the table. The whole person was awkward, but he weakly raised one hand and waved it, indicating that he heard it.

Seeing the appearance of the prince, Tapti couldn’t help laughing.

She chuckled and turned back.

When she first walked to the door, she happened to collide head-on with the returning Huimos.

Huimos nodded slightly to her, then stepped in.

For some reason, with a sudden movement in her heart, the chief priestess looked back at Huimos’ back and frowned.

She seemed to have a strange feeling, as if there was something familiar to her in this person, but she couldn’t tell what it was.

Tapti shook his head, dispelled the strange feeling in his heart, turned his head, crossed the courtyard, and walked towards the palace gate.

Garlan, who had been lying on the table awkwardly, heard the familiar sound of footsteps, but was too lazy to get up.

“Why come back so late today?”

His arms were still stretched out on the table, but he raised his face, and his chin was resting on the table, looking extremely unsightly.

However, the look of those bright eyes looking upward is really cute.

“It took a while to collect debts.”

Huimos said, an understatement.

“what?”

What debt?

It’s only a few days, who did he lend the money to? It can’t be Brother Wang, right?

…No, where did he get the money?

Gallan was wondering, Hoymos had already walked over and stood opposite the table.

With one hand on the table, he leaned forward slightly.

“You said, you don’t like flowers very much.”

He said,

“So this time, I was going to use other things to woo you.”

But he didn’t expect that he hadn’t spoken yet, and was actually one step ahead of Garlan.

Hiemos stretched out his right hand, which seemed to be holding something.

Garland stood up and looked curiously at the hand held by Hiemos.

“Is it for me?”

“Um.”

The boy blinked and said with a grin: “Since it was something that was originally intended to be used to woo me, if it is too bad, or if I don’t like it, I will dislike it.”

Huimos smiled.

“you will like it.”

He said confidently.

“I use it as a gift just to make you absolutely unable to refuse me.”

“Speaking really confidently, I’ll see what you do if I get slapped.”

Gallan whispered.

He said so, but his face inevitably showed a curious look.

He stood with his hands on the table, leaning forward, looking at Huimos’ hand without blinking.

Under his gaze, Huimos slowly spread his hand.

What appeared in the palm without palm prints was a transparent ball the size of a pigeon egg.

The outside of the sphere is like a crystal flake without any impurities, crystal clear, with a layer of gleam.

The thin layer is like a flowing streamer, the brilliance is flowing, and the brilliance is overflowing.

The inside is hollow, and among them, there are three bright fluorescent spots floating softly in the crystal ball.

The three-point fluorescent lights interlaced in the sphere in seemingly irregular, but unusually harmonious and rhythmic trajectories. Even under the sun, they flashed with dazzling luster, as if they were living with vitality.

There are traces of light in the place where the fluorescent light passes, like falling stardust, and like a little bit of snow falling in a crystal ball.

It looks as beautiful as a dream.

Even if he had seen countless rare treasures in the past, Gallan couldn’t help being attracted by this beautiful crystal ball at this moment.

More precisely, it was the three bright fluorescent spots inside the sphere that attracted him, making him stare intently, and a strange sense of familiarity made him reach out his hand uncontrollably, wanting to touch it.

His movements are very light.

However, at the moment his fingertips touched the crystal ball, the crystal ball that had been lying in Hiemos’ palm looked like a fragile bubble. With a snap, it exploded.

The three fluorescent spots rotating in the sphere instantly crossed three arcs in the air, flew in different directions like an arrow from the string, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Gallan was taken aback.

“what happened?”

He looked at Huimos in surprise and said, “I didn’t mean to break it, I really just touched it, just touched it lightly.”

Seeing Gallan nervously explaining to him, Huimos laughed.

He stretched out his empty right hand and touched Mojallan’s head.

“fine.”

He stroked Garlan’s hair, and he said, “It already belongs to you.”

“??”

Garland looked at Heimos in confusion, feeling puzzled no matter what he thought.

He simply leaned forward and stared at Hiemos.

“Don’t play dumb riddles, what the hell is that thing you gave me?”

Huimos looked at Garlan who was close to him, and the corners of his lips raised.

However, he did not answer directly, but suddenly talked about other things.

“Do you remember, Garland.”

He said that the golden red eyes that reflected the shadow of the boy in front of him seemed to melt and flow with red gems.

With the blazing heat of the flame, he gently wrapped Garlan in it.

Just like what he has been doing all the time, he carefully and lovingly held the boy in his hand.

“I said, as long as it is what you want, I will do it for you.”

“Don’t even think about turning off the topic, answer me first…”

Before Gallan finished speaking, he suddenly banged, and the door of the room was suddenly opened.

Garlan, who was startled by the sudden sound of the door panel, turned his head and looked over subconsciously.

The chief priestess, who had just left, didn’t know when to return here, and slammed the door open and broke in.

She gasped violently, seeming to be out of breath, her chest rising and falling sharply.

A strand of neatly combed sideburns fell on her forehead, which fell to her cheeks in a mess.

Her eyes were staring straight at Garlan. The hand that opened the door was still pressing on the door panel, her fingertips trembling slightly.

The two lives combined had never seen Tapti make such a rude or even offensive behavior, and Gallan was surprised.

He looked at Tapti in astonishment and asked, “Tapti, you forgot something here…”

The chief priestess did not answer.

She stepped into the door of the room.

The long brown hair flew up in the air, leaving a long arc aside.

The hands that couldn’t wait to stretch forward held Garlan, who was too late to finish the second half of the sentence, in his arms in just a breath of time.

She hugged very tightly, very hard, like hugging the most precious treasure that was lost and recovered.

She lowered her head and pressed her trembling lips deeply into the soft golden hair.

She didn’t say anything, or maybe she was unable to make a sound at this moment, so she could only hold her prince tightly in her arms with both hands.

The room was quiet for a long time, and no one spoke.

It was so quiet as if time stopped at this moment.

Gallan let the other party hold her in a daze, but couldn’t react for a long while.

In the chaotic mind, an absurd and impossible thought flashed through.

“Tap…ti?”

…………

A little fluorescent light flew out, leaving a shallow trace of light in the air it floated, and then disappeared without a trace under the sun.

In the depths of the garden, Kaihuos was sitting under the big tree next to the briskly flowing stream, obviously taking this opportunity to be lazy for a while.

He leaned on the sturdy tree trunk, with his hands resting behind his head, his eyes closed, his expression relaxed and comfortable.

The sun pierced through the dense canopy of trees, spotted on his short, deep golden hair.

In the abruptness, my heart palpitated.

Kaihus opened his eyes sharply.

He saw a strange fluorescent light flying in front of his eyes, turning in circles.

The very strange fluorescence should have made him vigilant.

But for some reason, he looked at that little fluorescent light, and he felt inexplicably familiar and familiar.

It’s as if it belonged to him, it was a part of him.

After watching for a long time, Kayhus stretched out his hand to grasp the fluorescent light.

But at the moment he just stretched out his hand, the fluorescent light that was originally circling in front of his eyes suddenly rushed towards him and fell into the center of his eyebrows.

Kaihus instinctively raised his hand to press his brow.

The eyebrows suddenly became hot, like a flame burning on his forehead.

The burning sensation became more and more violent, spreading from the center of the eyebrows, and in an instant, it penetrated and spread to his entire body.

The brain exploded with a bang, and the green pupils suddenly enlarged.

Kayhus gritted his teeth and pressed his head firmly with his fingers, but the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

Countless familiar scenes flashed through his mind, as if right in front of his eyes, as if it was yesterday.

He saw the fierce battlefield.

He saw him kneeling on the roaring sea cliff and weeping bitterly.

He could feel the surging in his heart when he saw the young man wearing the golden crown on his head under the bright sunlight.

He saw the firm back of the young man on the wall of that sea city…

…

………………

Time seemed to be rewinding quickly, rebranding scenes in his memory.

What finally freezes in his mind is the moment he leaned over and knelt in front of the young blond child.

My prince.

From now on, I am your guardian knight.

I will guard you until I die.

………………

The fluorescence is flying lightly, like a small butterfly, dancing lightly in the sun.

With a breeze, it slipped silently into the residence of the Royal Guards on the side of the palace.

In the deep training ground, there was a faint voice of indifferent and severe accusations.

Standing in front of all the subordinates, Xiemur, dressed in a concise outfit, had a cold face and reprimanded them mercilessly.

A group of subordinates who had lost one by one to their head in the previous match, bowed their heads, and received the training honestly.

It was not the first day that they knew about the severe behavior of their head.

Although they were a little unconvinced at the beginning, after seeing the rigorous exercises that can be called self-abuse, and the terrible deeds that they never stop every day, they only have admiration.

Obviously it is already very strong, and now it is only your Majesty who can fight against the head of the group without falling under the wind.

But even if he was so strong, the head of the group still did not slack off at all. He still honed himself like this for ten years, so that those who don’t like his rigid character can’t help but respect him.

Routinely reprimanded his subordinates, Xie Muer no longer stayed, turned and left the training ground.

The subordinates who were left looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile bitterly and let out a sigh of relief.

Although a strong boss is a good thing, being too strict is really overwhelming…

Stepping out of the gate of the training ground, a ray of sunlight shone down and fell on Xie Muer, illuminating the traces of dust on his clothes extremely clearly.

He frowned, but quickly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart.

Although he is a bit cleanliness, it is inevitable to get dirty during training. Over the years, he has become accustomed to it.

He glanced at his hand, feeling a little anxious.

No matter how strong he becomes, he always feels that he is not enough, far from enough.

He always felt that there was something very important, which was lost from his hands time and time again.

He couldn’t protect it anyhow.

He doesn’t know what it is, he just instinctively wants to make himself stronger.

Maybe by becoming stronger, you won’t feel that kind of powerlessness anymore.

In a moment of loss of consciousness, suddenly, a reflection flashed across the corner of his eye.

Xiemuer raised his eyes subconsciously and looked at the place where the light was refracted.

He saw a little bright fluorescent circle around his eyes, and then fell lightly towards him.

He subconsciously raised his hand to block it.

But the little fluorescent light passed through his palm, instantly submerged in the center of his eyebrows, and disappeared.

The scorching flame suddenly spread across his eyebrows, burning his entire body.

In an instant, countless scenes passed before his eyes.

He saw that that night, he stood in the deep night, looking in the direction of the king’s tomb, and watched silently all night.

The dew wetted his temples.

He saw the red flames of the burning wooden palace illuminating the sky…

He saw the figure that fell from the cliff and he couldn’t reach out and grab it…

He saw the unwashed blood stains remaining on the pale stone wall…

…Under the stone statue of Isdal, the young man fell into his arms, his hands were stained with blood, and he heard his sorrowful cry…

…………

Patter.

There was an inaudible sound.

A drop of water mark fell on the palm of Xiemuer’s palm.

He lowered his head and stared blankly at the wet trace in his palm.

In the sun, there was a gleam of water on his brown cheeks.

Caught off guard.

But it is also uncontrollable.

………………

My prince.

Even if I abandon everything, I want to protect you.

Even if you want to abandon my faith.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xiemuer was the only companion who had experienced Garlan’s death several times.

Therefore, his obsession is actually the deepest.

Okay, this time the word count is enough, right? Meme~~
