A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Among the Northland with the harshest environment, among the most powerful Northland army besides King Aaron Landis's guards, and even among the Geshurs, the mortal enemies of Aaron Landis, they are called The young man known as the 'Black Knight of Hell' has been in trouble recently.

A person favored by God.

Many people have sighed with envy.

Heimos's naturally outstanding talent, his strong will trained in a harsh living environment as a child, and his own hard work have made him a leader among others.

You know, except for the difficult period of struggling in the slums when he was young, Heimos almost never encountered anything that would cause him distress.

Even on the most dangerous battlefields, he has always been that tough and strong flag-like presence.

Although he has never shown it in front of others, perhaps because of his childhood experiences, Heimos has always been a cold-hearted and self-centered person.

He never paid attention to other people's affairs, let alone paid attention to them, and he never cared about what others thought.

Therefore, few people can make him emotionally unstable.

But what put him in distress at this moment was the very few, or should I say, the only young man who could incite his emotions.

When Opada exposed his thoughts that had been buried for a long time, he also felt that maybe it was just because he paid too much attention to Garlan and was too close to him, which caused Opada to have a misunderstanding.

However, after having such a dream that night, and even talking to Garlan in his sleep because of it... he finally recognized the reality.

The seemingly dull Tasda man had indeed seen through his mind that he didn't even know he had.

For a moment, Heimos was a little confused.

He has always regarded that child as an existence that cannot be touched by anyone, not even himself.

Just like treating a fragile but extremely beautiful treasure, he always held it carefully in his hands, unwilling to let the child get hurt in the slightest.

Now, he had such a dream, which made him feel an unspeakable sense of guilt.

…………

Garlan and his party wandered all the way, stopping and moving, and their progress was very slow. King Camos, who had been waiting anxiously in the royal city, finally couldn't hold back anymore after sending a message to Caihos to no avail.

This time, he simply sent a thousand cavalry commander and his guards to pick him up.

Among the people he sent, Heimos, the priest subordinate of the God of Night, also came with him.

Heimos thought for a long time and finally decided to discuss this troubled issue with his rather strict-mouthed subordinate.

Because his subordinate has a lover who has been in love for six years and has rich experience in this kind of thing, so he must be able to give him good suggestions.

So, one evening, in the courtyard of a nobleman's residence where he was staying temporarily, Heimos began a conversation with his closest subordinates.

"Suojia, I remember that you have a lover, right?"

As the God of the Night, Suojia, who has always been cunning, was confused by his master's question at this moment.

Although he is quite tall, his body is not strong and he has no strength value. However, as Prince Heimos's most cunning counselor, his position is unshakable.

And his greatest use is naturally to provide advice to his master and make various plans.

However, after many years of getting along, this was the first time Suojia heard inquiries about his private affairs from his master, who had always been indifferent to other people's private affairs.

Moreover, when he asked such a hot topic, he, who always considered himself resourceful, was confused for a moment.

But as an excellent and loyal subordinate, he will never refuse any request from his master.

Therefore, Suojia reacted immediately after being stunned for a moment.

He bowed slightly and answered Heymos' question.

"Yes, Your Highness, you must have seen her."

"Yeah, I've seen it."

Heimos was also a little puzzled when talking about this matter.

Suojia, a person with no martial arts value, happened to be in love with a female knight with a strong martial arts value.

"You love her very much?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Suoga answered Heimos's question simply.

"She is the only lover I have ever recognized in my life."

He is a believer in the God of Night, and scheming and cunning are normal things for him.

But only for the one he loves, he will not deceive him at all.

There was silence for a while, and Heimos didn't ask any more questions. He just sat there, silent, and kept stroking the lapis lazuli earrings on his ears with his fingers.

Heimos didn't speak, so Suojia naturally couldn't speak.

He stood to one side, his mind spinning rapidly, secretly thinking about the prince's purpose for telling him these words.

After a long time, Heimos spoke again.

"What does it feel like to love someone?"

He said,

"No...what was your reaction and feeling at the beginning that made you sure that you fell in love with her?"

Suojia's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

He looked at Heymos' fingers stroking the lapis lazuli earrings and understood instantly.

When he was in the Northland, many people speculated that the reason why Heymos was not interested in any women in the boring Northland was because there was a person he admired in the royal city.

And that lapis lazuli earring was a gift given to him by the prince's lover.

Now it seems that His Highness Heymos may have met that person again.

However, the prince who had never been in love didn't seem to understand his own feelings, so he asked himself who had a lover.

Thinking of this, Suojia started to answer carefully and carefully.

To avoid making mistakes, he used general descriptions that can be found in love poems.

"Well...when you see her, you will be very happy and want to keep looking at her and be with her."

"When you get close to her, your heart will beat wildly. No matter what she says, it will be the most beautiful sound in your ears."

"You will always think of her figure in your mind... Her smile is better than all the beautiful scenery... Even if you are as noble as you, you will be willing to lower your head in front of her, just to pray for her mercy... …”

Just when Suojia said this, Heimos suddenly interrupted.

"Like you, you can be beaten or scolded?"

When Suojia was getting along with the female knight, he occasionally caught a glimpse of her inadvertently.

Suojia, who had always been arrogant and cunning in front of others, was like a big dog wagging its tail in front of the female knight, extremely attentive.

The female knight seemed to be a woman with a very strong personality, and she would often take action whenever she disagreed.

Suojia: "…………"

This is called fun, isn’t it fun?

Your Highness, how can a beautiful person like you who has never experienced love understand the sweetness of flirting between lovers?

Heimos shook his head.

"Suojia, don't deal with me. I know where the things you just said come from."

He said, "All you want from me is answer me, what convinced you that you were in love with that female knight?"

Suojia paused for a moment.

He seemed to be deep in thought, or recalling a sweet memory from the past.

Then he spoke.

"Your Highness, actually I can't tell you clearly, but..."

He said,

"The moment that figure comes into your sight, no matter how far away, no matter how small a corner, at that moment, you can see nothing else but that figure."

"At this point, you're completely in it."

He continued.

"If this is really the case, then you are probably..."

What else Suojia said was not heard clearly by Heimos.

Because at this moment, on the other side of the courtyard, Garlan's figure appeared at the end of the gravel path.

It was obviously far away from him, almost only in the corner of his sight, but the moment the young man's figure appeared, everything else in his sight disappeared.

Even Suojia who was right in front of him seemed to have disappeared.

[The moment he appears in your sight, everything in the world will fade in your eyes. 】

【You will never see another one. 】

I see.

The lapis lazuli earrings on her fingertips that had been smoothed by his caress sent a chill to her heart.

The golden-red eyes reflected the figure of the blond boy deeply, as if to imprint it on the deepest part of his pupils.

"Your Highness, if you really can't confirm your feelings, then you just need to think about it."

Suojia's voice rang in his ears again.

"Just imagine, if that person falls in love with someone else, leaves you, and is with someone else... Well!"

The green-robed priest's voice suddenly broke off.

Because at this moment, he felt some kind of frightening evil energy suddenly emanating from his master.

A terrible breathless atmosphere.

Don't even think about it.

Suojia's understatement instantly made Heimos' heart beat violently.

Garlan will leave him.

Will go to someone other than him.

Just hearing Suojia say that, Heymos almost couldn't contain the murderous intention that suddenly rose from inside his body.

Garlan will go where he can't reach.

…………

Don't even think about it.

No one can even think of doing this.

Once the desire that burns from the deepest part of the body is ignited, it can never be stopped.

Getting bigger and hotter.

It burned his body, the blood all over his body, and he couldn't resist the desire to hold her in his arms like in a dream.

That's his.

His gaze was fixed unblinkingly on Garlan in the distance of the courtyard. Heymos' gaze was like a chain wrapping around him at this moment.

That person belongs to him——

He thought so firmly, decisively, and even fiercely.

…

"What should you do if the person you like has a crush on you and doesn't know that you like him too?"

Without hesitation, Heimos once again asked his dog-headed strategist... no, his confidant.

Suojia felt a little miserable.

He is a counselor, a counselor who gives advice on the battlefield and in politics, but why is his master asking him now about love strategies?

What does this mean to him? Do you take a part-time job as a priest of love under the goddess of love and beauty, Avdmir?

However, no matter how much the priest of the Night God complained in his heart, he still had to do his best to plan for Heimos.

After all, His Highness discussed such a private emotional matter with him because he trusted him.

He didn't want to lose His Highness's trust in him because of this kind of thing.

And according to His Highness, the two of them were originally in love with each other. It was easy to tell the truth. It was very simple. All it took was a word from His Highness...

No, no, no, this won't work.

Suojia rolled his eyes.

As His Highness's counselor, no matter what kind of thing or situation, we must seek the best interests for His Highness.

The person who expresses love first always has a slightly lower status in the relationship.

Just like him and his lover, the one who falls in love first always loses.

Therefore, he had to find a way to let the person His Highness was attracted to confess his love to His Highness first.

"Your Highness, this is very simple."

Having made up his mind, Suojia put forward his suggestion.

"Since that person doesn't know your feelings, then you must give some hints to make that person feel that you are unique and special to them, and make that person aware of your feelings."

Known as the 'Black Knight of Hell', the invincible and powerful black-haired prince on the battlefield has no idea how to pursue the one he loves. He is probably not as good as those thirteen or fourteen-year-olds in the royal city who are one round younger than him. The aristocratic brats who started hooking up with girls.

Therefore, he continued to ask calmly.

"What exactly should be done?"

It took more than a year to catch up with the female knight. The priest of the God of Night, who had rich practical experience in this area, began to teach His Highness the advice without reservation and with confidence.

…………

Garlan has been a little depressed these past two days.

For some reason, Hermos's attitude towards him suddenly became cold.

In the past, when walking, Heimos would always be by his side unless necessary, but in the past two days, he was at the front of the team and leading the team.

I no longer eat with him. In the past, their bedrooms were next to each other at night, and they seemed to have been deliberately separated these two days.

Throughout the day, Garlan could not see the shadow of Heimos.

He even took the initiative to go to Heimos. Before even saying a few words, he would ask him to leave first because he had something to deal with, and he seemed to be unwilling to talk to him.

what happened?

Garlan thought in confusion.

Is Heimos angry?

Did he do something the past few days to make Huymos angry?

It was obviously fine when we took a hot spring bath together that day.

He thought about it over and over again, but he really couldn't think of anything that made Heimos angry.

Heimos didn't want to talk to him anymore. This was the first time this happened.

So, the young man became depressed.

Even if he wants to take Nerga around the continent in the future, Aaron Landis still has to be his strong backing.

He had already planned to let Heimos be his most solid backer.

With Heymos around, there shouldn't be many people who dare to mess with him, so that he can maximize his power... No, it means ensuring his safety to the maximum extent.

If Huymos had fallen out with him...

Moreover, not only that, Gallan also felt a little strange in his heart.

Heimos has been very kind to himself since he was a child. He is very indifferent to others, but he loves and indulges himself very much.

He was used to Heymos being special to him.

Now, this special thing suddenly disappeared... For some reason, Garlan felt that he was not used to it and a little uncomfortable.

In the evening, after finding a place to stay again, Garlan thought hard for a while, but he didn't understand where he had offended Heimos.

Simply, with a sudden change of heart, he ran straight to Heimos, wanting to ask directly.

"...Are you angry?"

"I don't."

Heimos replied calmly.

"But, you have been..."

"What's going on?"

"…………"

...ignore me.

Feeling that he was like a child having a tantrum when he said such words, it would be embarrassing, so Garlan tightened his lips and did not speak.

He lowered his eyes, looking a little lonely.

Heimos watched the young man in front of him lower his head slightly, his fine eyelashes hanging down, casting a light shadow on his fair cheeks.

The soft skin on her face makes people want to touch it just by looking at it.

And the lonely look on the young man's face made people feel a little distressed just by looking at him.

However, Heimos held back.

Suojia's idea is indeed very useful.

Only two days had passed, and Garlan couldn't help but come to see him.

Next, the second thing you should do is...

"I'm sorry, Garlan. I've avoided you these past two days because I lied to you last time, so I didn't know how to face you."

The boy with his head lowered suddenly raised his head and looked at him with wide golden eyes.

"I lied to you and said I didn't...actually, I already have someone I like."

"real?"

Garlan's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Heimos' arm.

After waiting and hoping for so many years, this day finally arrived.

He couldn't help being happy for a moment, thinking that Heimos was so strong, so he must be very strong in that aspect. Once he had a lover, the child would definitely be able to do it in minutes - just thinking about this, he was so excited The voice has changed a bit.

...My voice was trembling a little.

It seems that Garlan is really nervous about having someone he likes.

Although Heimos felt a little distressed when he looked at the young man staring straight at him, Suojia said it.

He had to do this, use these words to stimulate Garlan, in order to force his thoughts out.

Otherwise, this well-behaved young man might hide his feelings for the rest of his life.

Moreover, he was inexplicably a little happy about Gallan's violent reaction.

So, it’s time to move on to step three.

"Actually, I have liked him since I was a child. However, I don't know when this feeling became like this."

Don't say it outright, as this will scare people, and may make them avoid you even more.

Suojia told him so.

Therefore, it is better to use specious words and say it indirectly, and it is best to let the other party realize it on their own.

This will give the other party the greatest surprise and touch.

"I have been watching him since I was a child. We see each other almost every day, and we talk to him every day... Maybe it's because the distance is too close, so I can't detect my feelings."

"Then we were separated for four years. Four years later, he is still the most important person in my heart."

Heimos stared deeply at the young man in front of him, his voice was low and full of some special emotion.

He believed that it had reached this point.

Garlan will definitely understand the meaning of his words.

"When I met him again four years later, at that moment, I was completely confused by him..."

"I know that there is a huge obstacle between us, which will make many people see it. However, I have made up my mind that no matter what happens, I also want him to always be by my side - he must be with me in this life Stay with me."

His golden-red eyes looked at Garlan without blinking, and there were many incomprehensible and even dangerous looks in those eyes.

He said: "...Do you understand, Garlan?"

"This, this...I..."

Garlan stared at Heimos with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.

He was so surprised that he stuttered a bit when he spoke.

"Could it be...could it be that the person you like is...is..."

The young man swallowed a mouthful of saliva, as if he had been choked, and made a sound of great surprise.

"Tapti?!!"

Heimos: "………………"

The author has something to say: Tip: Lady Tapti is the same generation as King Camos, and is about seven or eight years older than Heimos.

…

You can't say Garlan is stupid.

After all, Heimos had sworn to him that he didn't like men either...
