A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

…………

At the end of summer that year, the sun was so hot that it burned people's skin as if it were on fire.

Among the snow-white royal tombs, the newly built imperial mausoleum stands side by side with a small white mausoleum.

In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years have passed.

Things are different and people are different.

The gray-haired high priest Nanna walked slowly past him and walked outside.

The small white palace in front reflected the blazing sunlight, which stung his eyes and burned his heart.

Everything around him was extremely bright, but turned into a vast void, with nothing left.

"prince……"

Ruoyouruowu's sigh was barely audible, and the half of the unspoken sentence was lost in the empty air.

……………………

In the silent night, the moonlight is like water, pouring down from the treetops.

The white deer, which looks like an elf transformed into moonlight, is holding the blond boy, and its snowy hooves come lightly in the moonlight.

The night is so beautiful.

The scene where the white deer lowers its head and kisses the boy tenderly under the night sky is even more heart-stoppingly beautiful.

The children at the bottom of the crack pit raised their heads, opened their eyes wide, and held their breath.

Even though they were spoiled and used to be stubborn and willful, they didn't know why they didn't dare to speak out at the moment, for fear of breaking the beautiful scene in the silent night.

The young man with blond hair who was caressed by Bai Lu looked up. He looked into Bai Lu's clear eyes and stroked Bai Lu's head with his right hand, as if to express his gratitude.

Then he looked down.

Looking at the grey-headed and embarrassed children at the bottom of the pit who were still looking at him with wide eyes, he smiled softly.

They seemed to have suffered a bit, but no one seemed to be seriously injured.

That's fine.

After learning a lesson this time, I won’t be as messy as before in the future.

The young man smiled, causing stars to twinkle in the eyes of the children below who were staring at him with wide eyes.

Children who are still young don't know how to describe or describe it. Anyway, they just think it's really beautiful and beautiful.

King Garlan is really just as the legend says, so good-looking~~so good-looking~~incredible~~~

Garlan's eyes swept around the bottom of the pit and landed on the chubby girl who was covered in dirt and looked the most miserable among the children.

The little fat man raised his head with difficulty and looked at him blankly.

Compared with other children whose eyes are full of little stars, she looks very dull and a little confused.

Her face looked very dazed.

Garlan jumped down and fell into the bottom of the crack.

He looked at Avril.

Avril also looked at him blankly.

Garlan leaned over and knelt on one knee on the ground.

He opened his hands to Avril, his eyes soft.

He smiled at the little fat man who looked at him blankly, wanting to come closer but hesitated for some reason, and stood there motionless.

"Sorry, I just came to pick you up now."

The boy said to her with a gentle smile.

"Awaited."

…

He said, "Long time waiting".

Avril suddenly cried loudly.

She had been looking at Garlan blankly, and she rushed over and hugged Garlan's neck.

She hugged her tightly, as if she was afraid that the person in front of her would disappear in the next second.

She didn't understand why she said 'again'.

【Awaited】.

It was just such a simple sentence, but it made her feel so wronged that she couldn't help crying loudly.

Her chubby little hands tightly grasped the boy's clothes and refused to let go.

She opened her mouth and cried loudly.

She was crying like a mess, as if she wanted to pour out all her grievances to the person in front of her.

I was obviously very sad and heartbroken, but I was also extremely happy.

She didn't know why, but she always felt like she had been waiting for this sentence... for this person, for a long, long time...

………

'prince……'

'I miss you. ’

That was the second half of the sentence that I couldn't say a long time ago.

‘I miss you so much. ’

…………

……………………

The adults who were searching desperately in the mountains were already getting angry. It was almost dawn and the night was about to pass, but there was still no trace of the children.

Several young children stayed in the deep mountains and forests for a whole night without any trace. It is very likely that they are already in danger.

You know, they all ran into wolves while searching. Fortunately, seeing that there were so many of them, the wolves retreated on their own initiative.

From this point of view, those children might have been devoured by hungry wild beasts long ago.

By now, several adults had dejected expressions on their faces, and the leading city lord was even red-eyed.

When he thought about his cute and well-behaved little daughter ending up with no body left, he was heartbroken.

At this moment, they were exhausted after searching all night. After all, they were used to being pampered. If they were not really worried about their children, they would not be able to bear this crime.

Although they continued to search hard in the mountains with a faint hope, but looking at their ugly faces, it was clear that they had already prepared for the worst.

It was still very dark, and it was just before dawn. The sun had not yet reached the horizon, and the light could not even shine into the deep mountains.

The place where they were was still very dark, which made everyone's expressions become more and more gloomy.

Just when a gloomy atmosphere was lingering around everyone, suddenly, a rustling sound came from deep in the rugged forest path ahead.

Everyone was instinctively alert, for fear of some kind of wild beast.

Rustling and rustling, the messy bushes on the roadside swayed wildly. In the stunned eyes of everyone, a group of children covered in dust emerged from there.

Seeing the stunned adults not far away, the children's eyes lit up and they rushed towards the adults with loud shouts.

"Father!"

"dad!"

"Uncle——"

They rushed over with joy, and everyone was also surprised. They each hugged their children and sighed.

Everyone thought that after experiencing this terrible night, the children must be very frightened, and they should look depressed. The younger ones should cry and make noises non-stop.

But the reality that shocked everyone was that each of these children was alive and kicking. Although they were dirty and a little embarrassed, they were all in great spirits. None of them cried. Instead, they all looked excited.

It didn't look like they were in danger in the mountains at all, but more like they encountered something good that made them very happy.

What shocked all the adults even more was that after meeting them, these children who had been spoiled to the point of being extremely naughty all apologized to them obediently and admitted their mistakes, expressed their willingness to accept punishment, and gave them a decent guarantee. Never do such bad things again next time.

For a moment, many adults looked at each other, a little confused.

"Um...you said you fell into a cave pit. How did you get out?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

Immediately, a child answered loudly: "It was the wise king who saved us!"

"ah?"

"That's right! It was King Xian who rescued us!"

"And - and - there is a big, big, beautiful, beautiful white deer~~~"

"King Garlan is really good-looking~~and so gentle~~"

A girl held her face and said happily.

Another boy continued: "The knight following him is so powerful~~~ He threw us all up with one hand!"

Avril, who was hugged tightly by the city lord, also had a correct expression on her face and nodded.

She said seriously to the city lord: "Father, King Garlan told us that we did something wrong and we must apologize to you when we come back."

Because it was the request of the wise king they admired, they all did it honestly.

The children were talking all over the place, which confused the city lord and all the adults.

If only one child said this, they could assume that child was too afraid to hallucinate.

But now that all the children say the same thing, it’s impossible for all the children to have the exact same hallucinations, right?

And... what, what white deer?

Just when everyone was confused by the children, the captain of the guard who was standing next to the city lord and looking around suddenly spoke up.

"Your Mightiness!"

He said hastily, raising his hand to point upward.

"Look! The white deer—"

When the captain of the guard shouted, everyone subconsciously looked up.

On a high slope in front, a graceful white deer stood there.

The bright moonlight fell on it, making the long horns on its head branch like branches shine like jade in the dark night.

The limbs are slender and slender, stretching out the most beautiful lines.

It is like the incarnation of moonlight and the night elf in the mountains.

It's so beautiful that it doesn't seem like a real existence in the world.

The white deer stood high on the hillside, as if watching everyone from a distance.

Then it turned around.

With a gentle kick of the four hooves, a graceful arc jumped out in the night sky.

The white deer jumps lightly on the rocks in the forest.

Subconsciously, everyone chased after him, wanting to see what happened.

However, not long after chasing, there was a cliff ahead.

Slender streams of water flowed down the cliffs.

The white deer still ran very fast. After a few leaps, he stepped on the edge of the protruding rocks on the cliff and jumped up.

Under the snow-white hooves, water splashed.

It stepped on the rocks dripping with water, making a very light and pleasant sound of treading water, as if flying in the air.

Everyone who could not catch up could only stand there sadly, looking up at the white deer jumping on the cliff of the flowing water.

At this sight, everyone's pupils suddenly dilated in surprise.

In the direction where the white deer leaped away, there was someone standing on the top of the cliff.

The white deer jumped lightly to the top of the cliff and came to the man's side.

Looking at the figure, he seemed to be a young man.

He was too far away for everyone to see his appearance clearly.

The night passed and dawn came.

The nascent sun emerged from the horizon and its rays fell on the Tweilur Mountains.

The blond hair of the young man standing on the high cliff was dotted with the rising sun in the dawn, shining with fine golden brilliance.

In the light of dawn, the white deer jumped onto the cliff of the flowing water and came close to the blond boy, rubbing his ears and temples.

Everyone under the cliff watched the incredible scene, but no one made a sound at this moment.

A gust of wind blew, and the dense jungle swayed.

At this moment, the beautiful white deer and the blond boy suddenly disappeared.

Everyone subconsciously rubbed their eyes and looked up again.

The stream was still flowing down the cliff, but the cliff was empty, as if no one had ever been there.

"White Deer..."

"Could that be..."

"No, it's impossible."

"But that white deer is really, really glowing."

"...white...sacred beast?"

"Could it really be..."

………………

After one night, the missing children returned home.

The next day, rumors about the appearance of the wise king's spirit in Tweluer Mountain quickly spread throughout the city.

As proof, the white holy beast that no one had seen for thousands of years and could only be known from legends also appeared.

Some people believe it, some people don't believe it, and some people are doubtful.

However, this rumor caused a huge sensation and spread quickly in all directions.

For a time, the rumor that ‘the heroic spirit of the Wise King appeared on the night of the celebration in Tweilur City’ sparked heated discussions throughout the empire.

This rumor was passed on from level to level and reported to Tapti.

Then, it was naturally reported to Camos by Tapti with a smile.

His Majesty the Emperor was very unhappy when he heard the news.

Tsk, I didn’t take him to play with me.

As for other effects caused by this incident, such as the fact that four years later, the number of celebration tourists in Tweilur City increased several times compared with before, that is all for the future.

……………………

Watching the white deer disappear deep into the dense jungle, Garlan turned back.

Seeing those children returning home smoothly, he finally felt relieved.

Sighing, Garlan raised his hand and rubbed his sore neck. He was still a little bit confused about whether to laugh or cry.

Ah, he finally played himself (the heroic spirit).

In another sense.

"Only this once."

Heimos's voice suddenly came from the side.

"ah?"

Garlan turned back inexplicably.

Crossing his arms across his chest, Heimos leaned slightly against a big tree nearby, staring at Garlan.

"It won't happen again," he said.

Garlan was stunned for a while, looking at Heimos pursed his lips in displeasure, and suddenly came to his senses.

He suddenly laughed.

"I said, Tal is only nine years old now."

He walked up to Heimos and tapped his chest with his fingers.

...Well, it’s really strong.

Gallan said: "There must be a limit to narrow-mindedness."

The golden-red eyes narrowed, making an unpleasant narrow arc.

"The little princess who said she wanted to give you a child was only ten years old."

Garlan: "..."

There seems to be no way to refute it.

Heimers continued: "You held him for a full sixteen minutes and thirty-two seconds."

Garlan: "………………"

Counting seconds.

He couldn't help but laugh again.

He smiled and reached out to hug his petty lover.

"Then, can I hold you for half an hour now? Well~~ plus three minutes and four seconds, okay?"

He hugged Heimos, raised his head and said with a smile.

Garlan put his arms around Heimos's waist, raised his head, and placed his chin on Heimos' chest, with his blond hair falling from his fair cheeks.

That bright and brilliant smile is almost irresistible to anyone.

Heimos almost instinctively hugged the boy in his arms back.

Gallan said with a smile: "Don't worry, I don't like people who are younger than me, I like people who are much, much older than me."

"…………"

"I've confessed to you, aren't you happy yet?"

"...I'm the youngest?"

The young man blinked slightly and smiled.

"Yes, you are more than two thousand years older than me, aren't you old?"

He said pointedly, "I'm too old to be able to do it anymore."

"…………"

Heimos simply lowered his head and firmly blocked the lips in his arms that were saying heart-wrenching words, so that he could no longer make any sound.

The author has something to say: In the end, he played himself (the heroic spirit).
