A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

The fact that the palace held the Flower Festival celebration has long been spread and everyone knows about it.

That night, when the palace was brightly lit, many people in the royal city stayed awake all night, looking forward to the birth of their new princess.

Early the next morning, they enthusiastically inquired about the results of the Flower Festival celebration, and then received a piece of news that shocked them.

The people in the royal city were shocked at first, but they soon figured it out.

King Garlan's request seemed ridiculous at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

Not to mention kings, even ordinary commoners like them don't want to marry someone uglier than themselves.

So it seems... normal for King Garlan to ask the princess to be prettier than him?

Ordinary people think so, so for those admirers of Avdmir, King Garlan's request is completely natural.

As for the ladies who were collectively defeated, no one gossiped about them, and even sympathized with them.

In this way, the Flower Royal Festival celebration started with great vigor, and then ended with great vigor.

The ministers who failed to succeed were depressed, but the people talked about it with great enthusiasm.

There were even many bards who happily went around the royal city to inquire about the details of the celebration, and then adapted the matter into stories or poems and spread them around.

Since then, the sentence "The beauty of King Garlan's appearance is unparalleled in the world" was not only spread among Aaron Landis, but also spread abroad, eventually making the entire continent known to everyone.

In fact, it has been passed down to later generations through poems and various records, causing future generations to speculate on the appearance of King Garlan.

I don’t know...if Garlan knew that his actions would have such a far-reaching impact and become known to future generations, would he regret doing so.

…………

...I must be regretting it.

………………

Regardless of what happens in the future, anyway, the impact it has now on the palace is not small.

The female official didn't say anything. She just looked at Garlan and laughed for a long time the next morning, which made Garlan's face turn red.

It wasn't until Garlan was about to lose his temper with her that Taputi managed to hold back her smile.

On the other side, Xie Muer, who had something to do and did not go to the celebration, was naturally very angry when he learned about it.

For a whole week, every time he saw Garlan, he had a sullen look on his face, and spoke with both a gun and a stick, except for the cold eyebrows.

The same is true for Zuo Sixiang, who would stare at Garlan with depressed eyes during every court meeting.

Just keep an eye on it, there is no loss anyway.

Garlan thought so.

In any case, recently, ministers such as Xie Muer and Zuo Sixiang have finally stopped urging him to get married.

In the blink of an eye, more than a week passed in a blink of an eye, and this matter that had been making a lot of noise finally faded away.

In the evening of that day, when Heimos walked into Garlan's palace, someone happened to come out of it.

The blue-eyed boy wore a lion badge symbolizing the knight's rank on his shoulders. When he saw Heimos, he stopped and bowed.

The young man's face was cold and indifferent, with almost no expression, and he had an air of being repulsive to others.

Heimos glanced at Novi and said nothing. He just nodded indifferently and walked straight past Novi.

After Heimos left, Novi looked at Heimos's back and was lost in thought for a while.

He compared them secretly in his mind, then frowned and left quickly.

What a big difference.

The young man, who was much shorter than Heimos, had an expressionless face, but he was thinking bitterly in his heart.

He is not as tall as King Garlan now, let alone compared with this...

It doesn't matter.

Novi thought secretly in his heart.

He is only fifteen and can still grow. If you eat more and exercise more in the future, you will definitely be able to catch up with that person.

Novi comforted himself like this, but little did he know that Gallan in the palace was no less depressed than he was.

Seeing that the size of that little child suddenly jumped up, he was almost 1.7 meters tall at the age of fifteen. I am afraid that he will catch up with him in another year.

By then, the only male shorter than him around him would probably be Tal, who was still chubby.

At this moment, Garlan was very glad that he had chosen Tal as his companion.

Looking at Heimos walking in and looking him over from head to toe, Garlan suddenly felt a little unhappy.

In fact, he is not short, he is about the same height as an average person. It's just that the people around him are all taller, making him look smaller.

Especially this guy Heimos... Well, according to a rough estimate, he is almost 1.95 meters tall?

"What's wrong?"

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Gallan looking at him constantly. Heimos looked down at his clothes in confusion.

It's normal, nothing strange?

"Nothing, I just think you are too tall."

Garlan was a little angry.

He had always been pampered in front of Heimos, and he unceremoniously expressed his sudden temper directly at Heimos - Sitting on the soft cushion of the bluestone platform, he raised his He raised his right foot and kicked Heimos' thigh.

Heimos did not hide and let Garlan kick him.

However, it was not in vain that he took such a beating. Before the opponent's feet could be retracted, he reached out and grabbed Garlan's ankle.

After sending Novi away, Garlan planned to take a nap on the soft cushions of the stone platform, so he went barefoot.

At this moment, Heimos grabbed him.

He struggled twice but failed to break away from Heimos' hand. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Heimos with an arrogant expression of 'How dare you fight back?'

Perhaps only Heimos could see Garlan's arrogant and arrogant look.

Heimos smiled and faced Gallan who raised his eyebrows in protest. With a little force, he grabbed the ankle in his hand and dragged Gallan towards him.

Garlan was sitting, but after being dragged like this, most of his body suddenly slid down. He reflexively pressed his hands on the stone platform to steady his body, and quickly stepped on the edge of the stone platform with his other foot to resist the downward slide. force.

The guy holding his ankle actually took this opportunity to lower his head and bit his calf unceremoniously.

Gallan, who was bitten, instinctively kicked him again, but the hand holding his ankle quickly let go and avoided his kick.

Seizing the opportunity, Heimos stepped forward, leaned over, lowered his head and kissed her.

Garlan was pressed against the bluestone platform. He could not exert any strength in this position, and Heimos was embedded between his legs, making it impossible for him to struggle at all. He could only squeeze Heimos's arm with his hands.

After a kiss, the two separated.

Garlan suddenly remembered something and looked to the side nervously.

There was no one in the room, the door was closed, and the maids and attendants waiting outside the door were not there. It must have been that Tapti saw Heimos coming in and ordered everyone to leave.

Garlan then breathed a sigh of relief and raised his eyes to glare at Heimos.

This glare made the guy who suppressed him lower his head again and blocked his mouth fiercely.

This time the kiss was much harder and longer than the previous one. It was not until Gallan felt that he could hardly breathe that he tugged on the sleeve of Heimos and was finally let go.

With his fair cheeks flushed, Garlan was lying on the soft cushions on the stone platform, his head resting on Heimos' lap, still calming his rapid breathing.

Heimos sat leaning back, holding Garlan's hand in one hand, intertwining their fingers, and gently stroking the blond hair that fell from his knees with the other hand.

He dug his fingers into the thick blond hair, grabbed a strand of blond hair, and raised his hand to his lips.

Slightly narrowed golden-red eyes stared at Garlan, reflecting the sunset shining in from the window, with a hint of temptation in the corner of his eyes.

"I'll stay here tonight... okay?"

He lowered his head, and his deep voice seemed to have a hint of supplication, but the corners of his lips were raised when he breathed warm breath into Garlan's ear.

The voice deliberately had a charming tone, which made Garlan's cheeks that had just calmed down turn red again.

Of course he knew what Heimos meant.

Over the past few years, Hermos would stay at his palace from time to time.

It was impossible to sleep in the same bed at night and do nothing. I also knew that this wolf-like guy would never let go of the meat in front of him.

However, Heimos has always kept his promise that day. No matter how far he goes, as soon as he shows resistance, Heimos will stop immediately and will never continue to force him.

In the following nights, Heimos would hold back no matter how uncomfortable he felt. He would only hold him and kiss his forehead to comfort him tenderly. He would not do anything else.

To be honest, in the past few years, it was obvious that he was the victim of being taken advantage of, but Garlan felt inexplicably guilty towards Heimos.

Therefore, every time Heimos asked to stay overnight, Garlan could not refuse.

This time too, he didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

The corners of the man's eyes curved, he lowered his head and kissed him gently again.

Resting on Heimos' lap, Garlan raised his hand and touched his cheek, his fingertips passing over the scar at the corner of Heimos' eyes.

Garlan kissed his lips back.

"You're lucky, you didn't even have to dance, you just took the golden fan."

Garlan touched Heimos' cheek and teased with a smile.

"You want me to dance?"

Heimos raised an eyebrow.

Gallan reflexively thought about the scene of Heimos dancing among the flowers... The scene was so beautiful that he instantly shuddered and shook his head vigorously.

"Forget it, Mr. Black Knight, if you really dance at the celebration, your image in the eyes of everyone will be completely ruined."

As he spoke, he pinched Heimos' face with a smile.

“Thousands of Aaron Landis’ Black Knight admirers will howl as their faith collapses.”

"It doesn't matter."

Heimos' words made Garlan startled.

Heimos looked at him deeply, the tip of his nose almost touching his.

He could clearly feel the breath passing by his face as the other person breathed.

"If you allow it, even in public, no matter how many people are in front of you, you can let me dance for you for as long as you want..."

Heimos looked at him with soft eyes and gently rubbed the tip of his nose.

"As long as I can express my love for you through this."

At this point, Heimos suddenly paused.

After a moment, he continued, "I'm jealous."

"I know you wouldn't choose any of them...but I'm still jealous."

He lowered his eyelashes and whispered, "I'm jealous that they can dance for you in front of everyone and woo you."

Garlan looked at Heimos. He stretched out his hand and climbed up to Heimos' shoulders.

He opened his eyes, and the shadow of the man on his body was clearly reflected in his bright golden eyes.

"No matter how many people dance in front of me, I will only look at you."

Gallan said,

"It is now and it will be in the future."

He said softly, and continued to move his hands back, wrapping around Heimos' neck, making the man lower his head and letting their lips become entangled with each other again.

The sunset shone down, reflecting the two figures on the snow-white ground.

…………

……………………

On a clear noon, a fleet composed entirely of warships arrived at the harbor of the royal city of Aaron Landis.

A sea-blue flag fluttered high on the largest warship. On the flag was a pattern of intersecting bows and arrows.

That is the flag of the southern island country Eielson.

Since the war in Tozes City more than ten years ago, the Elson Kingdom has been recognized by Aaron Landis, completely ending the embarrassing status that has been unrecognized for a long time.

Frequent trade with Aaron Landis has gradually developed the economy of the Elson country, and the lives of the Elson people have become much better.

Subsequently, during the war five years ago, when the situation was unclear and many countries were still waiting and watching, the female warrior Elson resolutely went to fight against Aaron Landis, accepting the call of Garlan, who was still the crown prince at the time, to help Aaron Landis. Lelandis drove away the invaders.

As a result, the relationship between the two countries has become closer, almost as close as that of Tasda.

After learning that the envoy from the Airson Kingdom had arrived, Garlan quickly summoned the envoy.

He originally thought that Aielson's envoy should still be the female General Aielson who often dealt with him. Therefore, he was secretly grateful for Kaihos who happened to be in the Western Region at the moment.

This female general is really obsessed with Caijos, so in these years, every time she came as a messenger, Caijos would immediately go out and hide for a while.

Since they were very familiar with each other, Garlan planned to summon her privately in the government room. The only other people present were Heimos, Shermer, Suojia and Zuo Siqiang.

Accompanied by the brisk footsteps of boots on the stone floor, Aielson's messenger stepped into the room.

The person coming was not the female general that everyone thought, but a young girl whom they had never seen before.

The girl looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with a tall and slender figure and slender hands and feet.

He was wearing leather armor and his wavy brown hair was tied high on the back of his head. He didn't have too many clothes on his body and looked neat and tidy.

A pair of azure eyes, full of energy and hope.

Although the girl's appearance is extremely beautiful, there is no trace of weakness in her raised eyebrows. On the contrary, her high nose and eyes looking straight ahead reveal a look of perseverance, making her whole person look heroic.

Every move she made was a bit arrogant, all showing her outstanding grace as an Airson female warrior.

As soon as the young Aersen female warrior entered the room, she looked straight at Garlan who was sitting on the throne.

Suddenly she seemed to recall something, and a look of nostalgia flashed across her eyes.

She leaned over, landed on one knee, and saluted Garlan.

When she raised her head again, she smiled brightly at Garlan.

"Long time no see, King Garlan."

she says,

"Five years have passed and you don't seem to have changed much."

Looking at this strange female warrior Elson, Garlan was still thinking about why the envoy had been replaced, but when he saw the pair of blue eyes looking at him with a smile, he remembered the big blue eyes of a girl in his memory. It flashed through my mind.

"Are you...Emma?"

Garlan looked at the tall and heroic female warrior Elson below, and recalled the little girl in his memory who was as beautiful and cute as a doll, and was suddenly stunned.

It has only been five years and it has completely changed.

Children do grow up quickly.

Garlan couldn't help but sigh.

When she heard her name being called out by Garlan, it meant that the other party still remembered her. Princess Emma's sapphire-like eyes curled up.

"I have reached the age of fifteen, and have passed the trial of the Elson female warrior, and have officially become an adult."

According to the customs of the Airson people, anyone who is over fifteen years old can participate in the trial of the Airson female warrior. As long as they can successfully pass it, they will be recognized as adults from then on.

Those who fail can only obtain adult status after turning twenty-five.

"According to Elson's practice, you must leave Elson and travel on the continent for a period of time after you become an adult, so I took the initiative to request my mother to send Aaron Landis as this envoy."

"In addition to traveling across the continent, as the next Queen Aielson, I also have an important task to complete."

"I must give birth to Queen Elson after me during this time."

Without any embarrassment, Princess Elson looked directly at Garlan.

She said simply: "King Garlan, I hope you can become the father of my child!"

The princess' straight-to-the-point statement silenced the entire room for a moment.

Garlan felt a little confused.

"Um...Emma, ​​wait a minute. Um, well, you should have heard about what happened at the Flower Royal Festival celebration before."

"Yeah, I've heard about it."

"Then you should also know that I said that the princess in my heart must be more beautiful than me..."

"I'm not going to be a princess."

The princess said simply.

As the next Queen Elson, how could she become the princess of another country?

She raised her head and looked at Garlan calmly.

"I just want your child, and I don't intend to be your princess, so your request for a princess has nothing to do with me, does it?"

Garlan: "..."

It made sense and he was speechless for a moment.

The author has something to say: The little princess: "I want to give birth to a monkey for you!" [No.
