A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

There was a dead silence in the hall, only the reverberation of King Kamos' thick laughter echoed.Everyone basically couldn't recover, and stared at the scene in front of them with their mouths open.

Including a child who was quietly eating melons and dreaming about a bright future, but was suddenly lifted up, and then appointed as the king's younger brother, he was completely dumbfounded.

Suddenly, there was an extremely slight click, which was the sound of a quill pen held by a stunned little fat man accidentally dropping it to the ground.

This sound, which is usually so subtle that it can be ignored, seems to have suddenly turned on the sound switch in the terrifyingly quiet hall at this moment.

With a splash, the entire hall seemed to be boiling water, and it boiled all of a sudden.

"Wait, wait a minute, Your Majesty—"

"No, this is absolutely not possible!"

"King Kamos! How could you just—"

"Please think again!"

After being shocked for a few seconds, Shemuer finally came back to his senses, frowning tightly. Wearing the ink-splattered clothes, he stepped forward quickly and walked up to Kamos.

"King Kamos." Priest Shamash, who spoke, looked very unhappy, "Please take back your words immediately!"

"why?"

Kamos said, in a nonchalant tone.

He didn't look at Shemuer who was walking in front of him, but just looked at Garlan who was being held up by him with a smile.

Seeing the child's wide-open eyes staring at him, and the bewildered expression on his face, he immediately felt a sense of accomplishment.He smiled and retracted his hands, holding the child with one hand, and rubbing the soft hair of the child who was still in a daze with the other.

Ah, soft, fluffy, warm, it feels so good.

The new brother Wang expressed his satisfaction.

"In short, please put this child down first."

For this king who always likes to play cards against common sense, Xie Muer feels a headache.

When he was the accompanying student of Kamos, who was still a prince, he and all his accompanying friends were often tossed about by the prince who wanted to come up with something.

It can be said that at that time, he was the only one adhering to the righteous and selfless teachings of the sun god Shamash, and continued to protest Prince Kamos' various behaviors, while the others had long since become numb and followed Prince Kamos to toss.

...Of course it was useless for him to protest.

"No."

King Kamos flatly rejected the subordinate's proposal, held the child in his arms tighter, and glanced at his priest Shamash vigilantly, with an expression of 'you don't want to take this child away'.

He said, "He is my brother."

"...Put this child down first." Resisting the rebellious urge to hit King Kamos on the head with the heavy scepter in his hand, Shemuer felt his head hurt even more, "Are you scared?" It's his time."

"Ok?"

When Ximuer said this, Kamos subconsciously looked down.

But Ximuer was wrong, the child in his arms did not show any frightened expression at all, but just looked at him with a pair of big round eyes.Maybe he was a little confused when he lifted it up at first, but now that he reacted, he stared at his face vigorously, sweeping it around, that look seemed to peel off a piece of skin from his face.

And when Kamos looked over to meet his gaze, the child not only did not restrain himself, but intensified, while staring at him, he stretched out two small hands, pinched his cheeks on both sides, and rubbed them vigorously. Knead, tug, tug.

Of course, with the child's strength, in the eyes of King Kamos, the so-called pulling force was the same as touching his face.

King Kamos thought for a while, and immediately realized.

"Hahahahaha—how is it? Do you think Brother Wang is handsome?"

Kamos laughed with a natural expression on his face, and proudly raised his chin, so that his little brother could touch his handsome and handsome face more easily.

He took it for granted that his little brother must really like his handsome face, so he stared at it and even touched it.

That's right, this kid must be so handsome by himself.

Thinking of this, Kamos became more and more elated, and rubbed his little brother's head vigorously. The soft and fluffy feeling on his fingers filled his desire that had been dissatisfied for more than 20 years.

Ximuer: "..."

This His Majesty's narcissistic, self-righteous, self-righteous, and self-confident personality cannot be changed.

If this is not the king of Aaron Landis, God knows how many people would want to stay at his door every day looking for a chance to beat him up.

He didn't care that his hair was messed up by Kamos's big hand. Like a bird's nest, Garlan's eyes were fixed on Kamos' face.

But the reason why he stared at Kamos's face was naturally not because Kamos thought he liked that handsome face, but...

…………

This person is... King Kamos?

Kamos... Brother Wang? !

wait wait wait.

This is not right.

Very very wrong!

Garlan tried his best to recall the appearance of King Kamos in his memory.

Although in the past few times, he spent very little time with his nominal king brother, but in any case, it is impossible for him not to recognize the appearance of King Kamos.

In his memory, the appearance of King Kamos is... Most of his face is covered by curly dark brown beards, almost the whole head is covered by curly hair, his body is extremely muscular, with a The blocks are like steel.The whole person looks like an iron tower, with arms as strong as a tree trunk, and a voice like a bell. When walking, at first glance from a distance, it looks like a big brown bear walking upright.

At this moment, Garlan stared hard at the handsome young man in front of him who was holding him, although he was also tall and strong, but he could be called tall and handsome...

Gallan: "..."

So, Brother Kamos, what have you experienced in the next nine years! ! !

…………

Ah, time is really a terrifying existence...

………………

Garlan felt that he had received the most shocking shock since his rebirth at this moment, trembling with fear because of the horror of the years.

Because it was too horrifying, he forgot the most important thing right now.He didn't react suddenly until a certain expressionless Shamash priest spoke again.

"King Kamos, please take back what you just said immediately."

Wait, what did King Kamos just say?

Brother Wang?

I?

From now on?

……

No, no, brother Wang, you can't do this.

For me, letting me be the king's younger brother is tantamount to putting the flag of death on me.I tried my best to hand in the blank paper, so that I could be disqualified so that I could be sent back-I pulled the flag with great difficulty.

In the end, with just one word from you, you inserted the flag I pulled out so hard and put it back with a puff?

Are you kidding me?

Just when Garlan couldn't hold his breath, the assist came.

"Please take back those jokes."

The expressionless priest of Shamash spoke.

Those words made Garlan, who was feeling overwhelmed in his heart, immediately give him a thumbs up.

Very well, Shemur, go on.

"You should know that your current choice is related to the future of Aaron Landis. It is not a child's play and cannot be determined by your preferences."

well said!continue!

"King Kamos, the child you have chosen now obviously does not have the ability to take on the future of this kingdom."

...Although he didn't want to be a king's younger brother, Garlan still felt a subtle sense of discomfort when he was told that.

However, whether he is unhappy or not, he still wants to continue to cheer for Xie Muer in his heart.

Come on, you're welcome, keep working hard, and make sure to dispel the willful king of Aaron Landis.

"Yes, Your Highness, please think carefully."

"King Kamos, he is the heir to the throne, you can't be so rash—"

"Master Ximuer is right, please reconsider, Wang."

"His Majesty!"

"My king—"

Other officials who came to their senses also tried to persuade Kamos, hoping to dispel their king's whim.

The young Wang raised his bushy eyebrows.

"I understand." He said, "You go ahead and choose a brother you think is qualified from among these little devils."

The words of King Kamos made everyone happy, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

But before the breath was fully exhaled, King Kamos' next sentence choked them again.

King Kamos lifted the child up with one hand, let him sit on his left shoulder, and hugged him with his other hand.

He said casually, "I'll take Brother Wang to eat something first."

Ximuer: "..."

The crowd stuck in their throats and couldn't get up and down: "..."

"Your Majesty, you can't be so willful!"

"It's too—"

"How can we choose separately?"

Kamos put his arms around the child on his shoulders, turned his head, and looked at the crowd.

"You are talking about choosing the younger brother, but you didn't say how many to choose."

"Although, it is true to say so..."

"So, I chose the younger brother I want, and you go to choose the younger brother you want."

King Kamos said, in a natural tone.His eyes swept across his subjects, and the invisible sense of coercion made everyone bow their heads.

"Do you have any other questions."

He said, with a calm face and an understated tone, but there was a kind of majesty that one would not dare to violate.

His voice, his language, is not angry but mighty.

He is the king of Aaron Landis.

The noisy crowd fell silent at this moment, and the hall was once again silent.

Shemuer, who was standing among them, was silent for a while, then bowed his head.

"Follow your will, my king."

King Kamos nodded, and the oppressive feeling around him disappeared in an instant.He laughed and patted the little brother sitting on his shoulder.

"Well, you are my younger brother now."

The man's golden brown eyes looked at Garlan with a smile in his eyes.Those eyes look like a big lion dragging a freshly killed bloody prey to his friends and wanting to reward him for his meritorious deeds. His eyes are full of words——Come, come, don’t be shy, praise me! , Praise me, praise me handsome.

Look, it's so easy to get a handsome and powerful brother Wang like me.

Not surprised?

Surprised or not?

Are you happy~~?

Gallan: "..."

Very surprised.

Not surprised.

unhappy.

...I still want to hit you.

The author has something to say: Little Garland managed to pull out the flag with all his might

Brother Kamos pushed it back with one finger and couldn't pull it out again...
