A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

Although it is not a formal government affairs hall, it is just a room for temporarily handling government affairs on weekdays, but the area is also very spacious, even if it accommodates dozens of people, it will not feel crowded.

But at this moment, this spacious government office is eerily quiet.

The shocking scene in front of them completely stopped everyone's brains from functioning.

Except for those two people who knew what they knew, everyone else felt like sleepwalking.

dream?

Well, they must be dreaming.

Ahhh, what a strange dream, how could they dream about King Garlan and that Lord Heymos...

Then, there was a muffled bang.

The heavy golden scepter slammed heavily on the bluestone slab, the sound of the impact was deafening, and all the stunned people were awakened at once.

Everyone had an unbelievable expression on their faces, looking up at the scene on the high platform that almost shattered their three views, they opened their mouths but couldn't say a word for a long time.

Novi, who had rushed up to the high platform, seemed a little at a loss. After staying for a while, he kept the rushing posture and stepped back step by step.

After he retreated under the high platform, he pursed his lips tightly, lowered his eyes, and stared at his feet. His handsome face looked expressionless, but the tips of his ears hidden in the fluffy hair were clearly a little red.

Heymos was awakened by the loud bang of the scepter falling to the ground, and Heymos was kissed unexpectedly.

Obviously, the moment before, when he leaned over to Garlan, there was still a dangerous aura around him.

But when Garlan grabbed his chin and pulled his face down and kissed his lips, he was completely stunned.

He opened his eyes, and the pupils shrank violently into thin pinholes.

The man's dazed and ignorant expression at the moment seems to give people a kind of cute and cute feeling.

After the kiss, Garlan couldn't help laughing when he saw Heymos's appearance that he had never seen before.

He did this kind of thing without saying hello to Heymos. He actually did it on purpose, just wanting to see Heymos in such a surprised look.

And what he saw made Garlan very satisfied.

Well, it can be used as a joke for him for a long time to come.

And just when Garlan laughed, Heymos, who was awakened by the sound of the scepter hitting the ground, came back to his senses.

Looking at the curved golden eyes and the eyes that looked at him with a smile, his eyes that had been empty a second ago suddenly became deep, and then he narrowed his eyes and stared fiercely at Garlan.

you wait for me.

Heymos, who was severely swayed by Garlan, conveyed such meaning with his vicious eyes.

However, the eyes that should have been used to intimidate the other party did not have any effect. Garlan looked up at him, and those bright golden eyes blinked lightly and innocently. It was funny, and my heart softened even more.

His chest, which was originally sore and unbearable as if it had been corroded by poison, was filled with a sudden warm current, which easily calmed his anxiety and uneasiness.

That warm and swelling feeling filled his body, and his heart seemed to be wrapped by the softest thing in the world, making him seem assimilated, and his whole body softened.

Heymos lowered his head and gently kissed Garlan's lips back.

The man's golden-red eyes gently seemed to melt at this moment.

Perhaps at this time, everything is no longer important except the person in front of him.

"prince!"

A loud shout broke the silence in the room.

At this moment, the High Priest Shamash could no longer care about the scepter that he had always cherished so much, and stepped forward quickly.

His face was livid.

What's more, he, who has always abided by etiquette, uncontrollably called out the incorrect title of 'Prince'. One can imagine how angry he is now out of control.

As soon as the ashen-faced Xie Muer walked under the high platform, he was stopped by Kehus who was standing there.

"Step aside!"

"...Your Majesty Ximuer, I can understand your feelings."

Keyhos was actually a little helpless.

He really understands Shemuer's current mood.

When he knew about this, he was definitely not much better than Ximuer now.

If it weren't for the accident in Kanal King City, knowing His Majesty's thoughts, he would never allow that guy to approach his Majesty's next step.

However, since His Majesty has already made a decision, for His Majesty's sake, he can only guard His Majesty's decision.

"But please calm down now."

Stick to Shemur, Kyjos said.

"Otherwise, in your current state, I will not allow you to approach His Majesty."

His eyes looked directly at Shemuer, his eyes were sharp, like a warning.

"Also, please don't forget, that's not 'Prince', it's 'Your Majesty'."

The last words of Kaihos finally made the High Priest, who was about to go berserk, barely regain his sanity.

Shemuer took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to calm down his nearly out-of-control emotions.

Then, he raised his head and looked deeply at Garlan.

"Your Majesty... are you serious?"

On the throne, the young king looked at him.

"Yes." Garlan said, "Ximur, it is impossible for me to tell such a lie."

The moment he met Garlan's eyes, the anger in his heart suddenly weakened a lot.

Perhaps it was because the pair of golden eyes that did not avoid looking at him looked at him too calmly.

……

It has always been so.

The eyes of the child he grew up with have always been so bright, no matter when, they always look at him so straightforwardly.

There was even a hint of hope in that gaze.

Shemuer understood what the meaning of the look of anticipation in Garlan's eyes looked at him.

Perhaps it was because I accompanied him as a mentor when he was a child, so even if he sat on the throne and became the supreme king, Garlan always respected him.

He sees himself as a teacher.

...Is it not the case myself.

He accompanied that little child to grow up little by little, just like his own child.

Even if he has grown up, even if he has become the king, in Shemuer's heart, Garlan is still the young child who needed his care and company.

He is his pride, his most precious treasure, as important as his belief in Shamash.

He wanted to be with him, guarding him, until the last moment.

He seemed to be harsh on him.

Everyone said he was unreasonable.

But only Ximuer knew that as long as he was in front of Garlan, he would always soften his heart unconsciously.

Especially when Garlan looked at him with such eyes.

Being watched by Garlan like that, the anger in the High Priest's eyes gradually dissipated and turned into complicated emotions.

"His Majesty……"

Countless complicated and troubled moods can only be reduced to these two words after all.

Watching Garlan grow up, Shemuer naturally understood Garlan.

He must have made up his mind to make a public announcement like this.

Prince... No, Your Majesty is serious.

He really wanted to tell everyone his true heart, instead of covering it up with ridiculous lies at the Huayu Festival dinner.

Even if this is something that will cause an uproar, arouse people's discussion, and even be impeached by countless people.

He is actually willing to do this for Heymos...

Thinking of this, for some reason, compared to anger, Xie Muer felt another kind of inexplicable sour emotion in his heart at this moment.

This strange sour mood made him sullen, and he didn't want to talk.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Sage finally came back to his senses, he looked at Garlan and Heymos, stuttering.

"You and Your Excellency Heymos are both male, it seems...it seems..."

He says,

"Please think carefully again. If you are unable to continue the heir, there will be no heir to the throne, which may cause turmoil in Aaron Landis and cause unrest among the people."

"Sage, when Brother Kamos was here, he had no concubine, nor did he have any heirs. But the throne was not unstable because of this, and no one was disturbed by it."

"That's because of you, so..."

"But I am not the heir of Brother Wang, let alone have any blood relationship."

Sitting on the throne, Garlan looked at his head of the knights calmly.

He asked: "In your opinion, am I qualified as the king of Aaron Landis?"

Sako's expression turned serious.

"Your Majesty, your achievements as a king are praised by all people."

He answered solemnly.

Under the leadership of King Garlan, in just a few years, Aaron Landis has reached an unprecedented peak, and his territory has also doubled.

The people of Aaron Landis live in peace and contentment.

All the people of Aaron Landis thanked and praised the young king from the bottom of their hearts.

Even those old-fashioned aristocratic families that were declining due to being deprived of their privileges by King Garlan did not dare to slander them.

"Yes, even if there is no blood relationship, you can still inherit the throne and become an excellent king."

Garland said,

"So even if I can't have an heir in the future, I can still choose an excellent collateral descendant of the royal family like Brother Kamos, cultivate him into talent, and let him inherit the throne. This can also ensure the stable succession of the throne, right? "

"........."

The choked Sa Ge thought for a long time, but he didn't know how to refute.

Not only Sage, but several other ministers who originally wanted to oppose Garlan's approach also fell silent in an instant.

Because if they said that an unblooded successor was not orthodox enough, it would be tantamount to questioning the legitimacy of King Garlan's succession.

Everyone who is here at the moment is a hard-core supporter of King Garlan.

Of course no one would say such stupid things.

After looking at each other for a while, the oldest among them, You Sixiang, a veteran who had experienced four dynasties, spoke.

"Your Majesty, even if you don't care about heirs, you must know that you have a high status in the hearts of the people. They believe in you like a god."

You Sixiang was able to survive the four dynasties and survive the chaos because of his tact and sophistication.

Even at this time, he did not forget to praise King Garlan first.

The old man stood tremblingly, coughed several times as weak as wind, and then continued.

"To the people, you are a just and wise king, just like the incarnation of the sun god Shamash."

He said earnestly,

"It can be said that up to now, you have been perfect in their minds, but now..."

It's good to stop talking, but Secretary You shut up in the middle of speaking, and didn't say any more.

But even if he only spoke halfway, everyone present could understand what he meant.

Gallan naturally understood.

He looked at Prime Minister You and suddenly smiled.

"Yes, as you said, the world praises me as the King of Justice."

He says,

"But if I can't even treat my loved ones fairly, what right do I have to continue to be called fair?"

The words "loved one" exited, and the expressions of everyone below were different.

Prime Minister You was speechless for a moment.

Standing next to Garlan, Heymos looked at Garlan with eyes as bright as thousands of stars at this moment.

The blond knight below glanced at the guy unhappily, and snorted softly.

The high priest, on the other hand, had a stinky face and didn't lift his eyes.

"King Garlan."

On the side, Zuo Sixiang, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"No matter what the reason is, it is a fact that you and Lord Heymos are both male. Our country is different from the country of Tasda. Only men and women are normal. You are like this... We really cannot agree."

Without any excuses or reasons, Zuo Sixiang's words were straightforward and to the point.

"You should know that it is impossible for the people of Aaron Landis to agree with you and Lord Heymos."

The atmosphere was tense for a moment, but was broken by Garlan's smile.

"Agreement?"

He says,

"Sixiang Zuo, I think you probably made a mistake."

Under Zuo Sixiang's astonished eyes, the smile on Garlan's face faded little by little.

He stared at Zuo Sixiang with a sharp look in his eyes.

"Whether you, or the people you speak of, are all my people."

"I never needed your approval for what I did."

On the throne, the young king looked down on his people.

"Aaron Landis, this is my country."

"You are my people."

"I am announcing to you, not asking you to agree."

King Garlan sat on the throne.

Young face, not tall body, calm voice, but inexplicably brings a huge sense of coercion.

Where his gaze swept over, everyone's chests tightened and they all bowed down.

They bowed their heads deeply, towards the direction of the throne.

Even Zuo Sixiang is the same.

In the whole room, only the young Wang's voice echoed in it.

"I will announce it to the world after the Gods Ceremony is over three days later."

That sound is an understatement.

But it is like breaking gold and cracking stones, resounding everywhere.

"It's my decision."

Everyone bowed their heads deeply, and no one refuted.

That was the king of Aaron Landis.

No one can go against his will.
