A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Elson's little princess did not come with the fleet at first. Although she planned to come with the fleet at first, she was stopped by the queen.

For her safety, Viniel only sent someone to pick her up after making sure that the war was over and Tozes City was safe.

After the farce of the first meeting, Tal, who was the negotiator between Aaron Landis and Elson, introduced the identity of Heimos to the little princess and the female general.

After learning the identity of Heimos, General Venier was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the black-haired young man carefully again.

Is this the other Prince Aaron Landis, Heimos, who is rumored to be called the ‘Black Knight of Hell’?

There was some confusion in her eyes as she looked at Heimos.

According to rumors, this prince is an extremely powerful person.

If Kaithos, the Knight of the Burning Sun, is not only praised for his martial prowess, but is also said to have a "beautiful appearance like the sun god" in rumors, and is famous in the mainland for his romance, then Prince Heimos is said to be It is described with words such as 'like a blood-stained blade' and 'the crescent moon of death in the dark night'.

Wherever he went, people were frightened.

Powerful, sharp, sharp... and terrifying.

‘On the battlefield, that dark figure came walking on the blood of hell’.

This is how the world pictures the prince of Aaron Landis in rumors.

However, no matter how she looked at it at the moment, Viniel could not see the feeling in the rumors.

Indeed, Prince Heimos felt very dangerous to her, but that was the danger she felt as a warrior against another brave man who was so powerful that she might not be able to fight against him.

And she couldn't feel the so-called 'Black Knight of Hell' aura from this prince at all?

Not to mention the aura of violence or bloody aura, Prince Heimos exuded a soft and soft aura at this moment, as if he was wrapped in clouds, especially when he looked at Prince Gallan's eyes, he was even softer. No, it's like being soaked in sugar water.

Moreover, when Prince Garlan wiped the corner of his mouth just now, this man was obviously a little taller than Prince Garlan, but when his tall body leaned down, there was no sense of disobedience at all, just like a head obediently letting his master touch his head. Like a giant wolf.

From this point of view, the relationship between the two princes seems to be quite close.

However, rather than saying that the two princes have a good relationship, it is better to say...

Viniel always felt something was wrong as she looked at it.

The way Prince Heymos looked at Prince Gallan always felt... very subtle, and it seemed that the atmosphere around the two princes was very different and strange.

She couldn't say clearly. Anyway, as a bystander, she felt a little numb in her heart and felt extremely uncomfortable, as if she had been force-fed something she didn't want to eat.

Little did the female general Aierson know that this feeling could be perfectly described in just four words in Garlan's world.

Force-feed the dog food.

Putting these messy thoughts away from her mind, Viniel took a step forward, put a hand on her chest, and knelt down to salute the Prince Heimos whom she met for the first time.

"Two princes, I came here because I hope Aaron Landis can fulfill his previous agreement."

She said, "Prince Gallan, the envoy you sent has made an agreement with our queen. I believe your envoy should have informed you."

As soon as he heard Viniel talking about business, the little princess beside her also showed a serious look on her little face.

Although she was a little reluctant, Emma, ​​who knew her responsibilities, still bowed slightly and saluted Heimos seriously.

Glancing at the little princess who was saluting him, Heimos nodded and accepted the salute, then turned his head to look at Garlan.

He asked: "Promise?"

Garlan hummed.

"I didn't know that you could arrive within four days, so I asked Elson for help in advance. I promised them that as long as they send troops to rescue Tozes, Aaron Landis will recognize them as a country on their own and allow Aaron Landis to recognize them as a country on their own. Dis merchants trade with Aielson. Moreover, open the port to trade with Aielson and give them the most preferential business tax."

He did not say that this was an agreement made by Tarr without authorization, but directly took it upon himself.

Because he felt that he sent Tal as a messenger, so what Tal said was equivalent to his words.

After speaking to Heimos, he turned his attention to the female General Aielson who was kneeling in front of him.

"I will naturally fulfill this agreement. After returning to the royal city, I will definitely convince Brother Camos to issue the royal order. However, these things will take time. Please wait patiently for a while."

When Garlan said that he needed to wait for a while, Viniel's heart suddenly lifted.

Elson is not good at diplomacy. They had tried to communicate with other countries a long time ago, but they almost always suffered losses.

After several losses, they understood that the need for time in diplomacy was actually an excuse. Often, after saying this sentence, things would not follow up. Although they were angry about this, they were helpless. After suffering several losses, they simply closed themselves off and stopped contacting the outside world.

So when she heard the prince say the familiar diplomatic rhetoric, her heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but want to say something, but then she thought about it. This time, because Prince Heimos arrived in time with his army and fleet, , so although they helped attack the pirates, they could not be said to have saved the city of Tozes and Prince Garlan.

Therefore, even if Aaron Landis used this as a reason to refuse to fulfill the agreement, they could not refute it.

Just when Viniel's mind became heavy, Garlan, who pondered for a while, continued to add something.

He said: "I promise you that within six months at the latest, I will fulfill all the agreed contents."

In an instant, Viniel breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart was relieved.

Fortunately, the queen was right.

she thinks.

The little prince did not use words to perfunctory himself.

He is worthy of their trust.

"Thank you very much."

Airson's female general looked up at Garlan, with a hint of gratitude in her heart.

"Prince Garlan, the Elsons will remember your kindness."

She paused, as if making a decision, and then added.

She looked at Garlan and said, "Please don't forget that Elson will always be your loyal ally."

Those who treat the Airsons with sincerity will be treated with sincerity by the Airsons.

Since Aielson is so weak and destined to depend on a country for survival, then she must entrust her to someone they can trust.

Just after Garlan ended the conversation with General Aierson, Caihos took two steps forward.

He said: "Your Highness, if you have time now, please see someone."

"Um?"

"A man who was a slave."

Kehos answered.

"He made great achievements in the defense battle of Tozes City. However, he refused to exchange his military achievements for property. He came to me and said that he wanted to exchange all his military achievements for a chance to see you."

"That day you were..." The knight glanced at the Elson man aside and changed his words, "When you were in danger, it was because he discovered something was wrong in time that we were able to rush over. "

"Now, he is waiting for your call outside."

Garlan nodded.

"I understand, let him in."

When she heard the word slave, Princess Elson couldn't help but frown.

There are also slaves in the Aielson Country, but all the slaves there are men, and most of them are prisoners of war of the Aielson female warriors. They were assigned to live in the most remote areas and do the most menial and backbreaking work.

In Emma's mind, those male slaves were extremely lowly existences.

Therefore, when she heard that Garlan actually wanted to meet a slave, she felt a little uncomfortable.

But she also knew in her heart that this was Aaron Landis, and as a foreigner, she shouldn't say much on such matters, so she kept her mouth shut.

However, she rolled her eyes, moved closer to Garlan, and grabbed one of Garlan's hands.

When Emma grabbed Gallan's hand, the young man next to her who she didn't like looked at him. Although it hurt, Emma pretended not to see it and still grabbed Gallan's hand tightly. Stick to Garlan's side.

Despite the piercing gaze, the little princess who successfully penetrated Heimos felt happy in her heart.

Soon, the mature slave was summoned.

When this slave appeared in front of everyone, even the little princess and the female general Aielson who didn't care about the slave were startled and couldn't help but take a look at him.

Completely different from the humble and thin slaves in their impressions, this strong man who was said to be a slave had a strong body. Although his face seemed simple and honest, his eyes were shining brightly.

From his body, one can vaguely feel a breath of blood, which is the breath of courage that can only seep out from his bones after experiencing cruel fighting.

As soon as the strong man entered the door, his eyes briefly fell on Garlan, then he walked straight to Garlan, bent down and knelt down.

"You use all your military exploits for a chance to see me?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Seth told me about your bravery and your great contribution in defending the city. I have asked him to agree to your request and let you join the army."

Garlan asked: "Didn't he tell you this?"

The man shook his head.

"Lord Seth has arranged for me to join the army and even gave me the position of captain, but I refused."

He said, "Although I received your permission, it is obvious that they do not welcome my arrival."

Even though he possessed a martial prowess that was not inferior to that of any Aaron Landis soldier, and had made great military exploits, the man could see clearly that the eyes of those soldiers looking at him were still looking at slaves.

Those people would never accept him as a companion. He would have no future if he stayed here.

Thinking of this, the man took a deep breath, raised his head, and stared at the young prince in front of him.

"Your Highness Gallan, my name is Tewa. I am begging you here. Please let me follow you."

He said, "Maybe not as good as Lord Caihos, but I am confident that I have the power to be as powerful as the guards around you. I am willing to dedicate my life and all my loyalty to you."

As soon as the man finished speaking, a sneer came from beside him.

The little princess standing next to him holding Garlan's hand laughed out loud.

She looked at the man with a smile and said, "Are you going to say that in order to repay the prince for giving you your freedom, you want to follow him?"

The little girl smiled cutely, but her eyes were cold and completely inappropriate for her age.

She stood there, looking down at the slave man proudly and condescendingly.

"This is a good excuse. Of course, being able to hook up with the prince is much more cost-effective than being a soldier captain in this small city."

"I've seen a lot of people like you."

Ever since she was a child, as a princess, she had seen so many guys who found various excuses to get close to her and try to get close to her. This kind of person was the one she despised the most.

There was obvious contempt in her tone, and then she turned to look at Garlan.

"Brother Garlan, don't agree to him. This guy who follows the trend of others can't stay at all."

The kneeling man's big fists were clenched tightly, and veins popped out on the back of his hands, but he lowered his head, closed his mouth, and said nothing.

He could not refute it, nor could he refute it.

Because this little princess really hit on one of his thoughts.

It was indeed after careful consideration that he felt that this approach would be more beneficial to him, so he took the risk and came to meet the prince.

So, at this moment, he could only lower his head in silence, waiting for the final result.

Presumably, the prince would definitely not agree to this once the little princess told him.

Garlan did not answer directly, glanced at the kneeling man, and then looked at Caijos.

"Kayhos, what are his abilities?"

"It is considered to be an above-average talent." Probably guessing what the prince was thinking, the blond knight smiled and replied, "He is much inferior to me, but as he said, his current power is better than all the guards around you."

"Well, that's fine. Let him join the Guards. You can make arrangements."

Garlan nodded and said.

The personal guards around him are all arranged by Kayhos, who is his guardian knight, so it is natural that Tewa will be arranged by Kayhos when he joins his personal guards.

The man who had already accepted his fate of failure was shocked and couldn't believe his ears for a moment.

He raised his head and looked at Garlan in surprise.

He was even prepared to be disgusted by the prince, but he didn't expect...

"Brother Garlan!"

Emma on the side became anxious and pulled Garlan's hand hard.

"I told you, he just wants to cling to you as a prince! You can't have this kind of person!"

Garlan said nothing, just smiled and patted the little princess on the head, as if to comfort her.

Then he turned his attention to Heimos.

"I have stayed in Tozes City for too long, and now you are here too. There is no one guarding the royal city, and Brother Wang is still fighting with Yis in the east. We must return to the royal city as soon as possible. But, your hand …”

When Garlan said this, Heimos's eyelashes suddenly moved, but they moved too fast, making it difficult to see clearly.

He shook his head.

"My hand is fine." He looked at Garlan and said calmly, "It's time to go back to the royal city."

As a result of the final discussion, whether they were concerned about Heimos's hand injury or the arrow wound on Garlan's back, under Caihos's persuasion, they would continue to stay in Tozes City for four to five days.

After the doctor determined that there was no big problem, he set off back to the royal city. Those officials and wealthy businessmen who abandoned the city and fled or colluded with pirates will be escorted back to the royal city together, waiting to be punished.

Since Tozes City has no defense force, half of the royal navy fleet will be temporarily stationed here. The reorganization of the Tozes fleet and the selection of the new consul can only be given by King Camos personally after he ends the war with Gesu and returns to the royal city.

Later, Caijos informed Seth and others about the incident.

As a result, the news that Prince Garlan was about to leave Tozes and return to the royal city soon spread throughout the city of Tozes.

Immediately afterwards, under the petition of everyone in Tozes City, Seth went to Caihos to discuss it, and finally decided that a grand banquet would be held in Tozes City the day before the two princes returned to the royal city.

On the one hand, it was to appease the emotions of the citizens of Tozes who had been frightened for a long time, and on the other hand, it was also to send the prince off.

The city of Tozes soon became lively, and all the previous fears were gone, and everyone looked beaming with joy.

This time the celebration was naturally held in the huge square in front of the ruling government.

On this day, countless citizens of Tozes poured in, crowding this huge square to the brim.

It's not even early in the evening, but the square is already bustling with people and full of joy. Everyone was smiling and came with their families. After the disaster, they were enjoying the joy of the celebration heartily and wantonly at this moment.

A high platform with guardrails in the executive government extends from mid-air, and is open to the open air above the square. Whether you are looking down from the high platform or looking up from the square, you can see each other clearly.

When the night celebration was about to begin, Seth and others entered the high platform one after another and sat down in their respective seats.

Every time a person appears on the open-air platform, regardless of his or her official position, it will trigger a burst of cheers from the people in the square below.

The people of Tozes City will never forget that it was these generals and officials who insisted on staying without fear of life and death and led them through the most difficult moments.

Even the little Princess Elson and the female warriors, who were not very familiar to the Tozes people, attracted friendly cheers from everyone when they appeared on the high platform.

They were thanking the Elsons for their rescue of Tozes City.

Just as everyone cheered one after another, the young man's figure appeared in front of everyone.

The light from the lights around the high platform reflected on the flowing golden hair, and the hollow hair ornaments carved from emerald malachite, which symbolized the God of Wisdom, were entangled in the strands of golden hair.

Garlan, dressed in light-colored clothes, appeared on the open-air platform under the gaze of everyone.

Her fair skin reflected the dim light of the lamp, and there were crimson Shamash runes on her forehead.

As he walked forward, the night wind passing by on the high platform lifted the long hair on the back of his neck, creating a golden arc in the dark night.

The light green peridot brooch, which can drive away people's fear and evil of the night and symbolizes the brilliance of the sun, fastens the collar of the cloak on his shoulder. When he moves forward, the knee-length cloak flies up behind him. .

When the blond prince appeared, all sounds stopped suddenly.

All sounds seemed to disappear at this moment.

The whole earth fell silent.

It was as if time and space paused for a second.

The sudden and unreasonable silence startled the little princess who had already sat down, and subconsciously looked towards the square under the high platform.

What's wrong?

she thinks.

Why is there suddenly no sound at all?

What happened?

However, just at the moment she turned her head and set her sights on the square——

Suddenly, caught off guard.

The whole square erupted with terrible shouts like exploding thunder.

The cheers like a roaring tsunami swept across the entire earth.

The astonishing shouts immediately stunned Emma, ​​and she could only stare at this incredible and shocking scene with her eyes wide open.

At this moment, the whole world seemed to be shaken.

In the light of the dark night, countless people stretched out their hands feverishly, trying their best to reach in the direction of their prince.

They roared, cheered, and called for their prince at the top of their lungs.

They seemed to have caused the whole world to be involved in the flames of fanaticism at this moment, burning crazily, as if they could burn everything.

"prince!"

"Prince Garlan!"

"May the light of Shamash be with you!"

"The glory of the gods will always be with you!"

"May your glory last forever——"

The sound was deafening.

The cheers resounded throughout the world.

The ground was shaking, and the entire city of Tozes seemed to be shaking amidst the shouts of countless people.

The long-lasting sound spread far away, and even the boundless sea seemed to stir up waves.

…

Garland

son of gods

I am the prince of aaron landis

The glory of the gods be upon you

You are the eternal faith of my people, Aaron Landis—
