A Tale of Strategies For the Throne

When Aaron Landis died, his soul would be led into the underworld by the goddess of the underworld, Ornas.

The human soul will pass through the hands of Ornas, purified into the original pure and flawless soul, and then sent to reincarnation by Ornas himself.

And when a person's soul walks through the hands of the goddess, his memory will be taken away by the goddess.

According to legend, the huge white wings behind the goddess are the wings of memory formed by the brilliance of the memories of countless people.

"When Ornas takes away the memory in the soul, he can also obtain the power of faith hidden in everyone's memory."

"The power of faith is one of the most important sources of power for the gods."

The reason why King Kamos was able to become the God of War back then was not only because of his own powerful soul and achievements, the God of War seat that happened to be vacant, and the reception of the Sun God Shamash, but also because he had the support of the people of Aaron Landis. Admiration, has a huge power of faith.

Among the gods, only Ornas, the goddess of the underworld, has the ability to obtain the power of faith from the dead soul, and she will share the power of faith obtained from the soul with Isdar, the goddess of fate.

Then, according to the power of each soul's faith, Isdar, the goddess of fate, will weave the thread of fate for this soul in the next life.

In other words, the amount of power of faith determines the fate of that soul in the next life.

"Before I died, I made a deal with Ornas."

"In exchange for the power of faith I gained in that life, in exchange for the memory of the three of Kaihos and the others."

He didn't die, and his soul didn't go to the underworld. Naturally, it was impossible for Ornas to take away his soul memory, let alone the power of faith he got.

And the power of faith obtained by Emperor Heymos far exceeds the power of faith possessed by the combined souls of the three Kaihos.

Ornas of course accepted the deal.

At the back of the palace, the elevated courtyard closest to the sea is particularly bright under the sun.

Straight palm trees surround the side of the wide courtyard, and the dense woods separate the courtyard from the rushing Enki River in the distance.

The open-air gazebo stands in the courtyard, facing the boundless blue sea.

Looking around, you can't see the end at a glance, you can only see the distant place where the water and the sky meet, the blue and blue sky, which makes people feel refreshed.

The waves slapped against the bottom of the sea cliff below, splashing waves of splashing water.

When the sea breeze blows from the sea, the palms and the canopy of pines and cypresses on the side of the courtyard will shake and make a rustling sound.

In front of the arched gazebo, the white jade platform is covered with soft duvets, warmed by the sun.

The little hairball rolls on the soft quilt, then spreads out on its back to the sky, spreads its short limbs, and exposes the round belly that has become round because of just eating enough to the sun, revealing A look of contentment.

The little milk lion spread out in this lazy state, basking in the belly.

He was paralyzed for a while, probably because he felt that he was stretched too hard, so he looked at Garlan with pitiful eyes.

"Ow~"

This guy probably has completely forgotten his majesty as a big lion.

Garlan reached out his hands helplessly, and gently rubbed Nega's swollen belly to help it digest.

After being rubbed comfortably, Nega hummed to Garlan a few more times, the voice was tender and whiny, one could tell it was being coquettish.

Garlan didn't bother to pay attention to Nega who was acting cute and coquettish at him. While continuing to gently rub his belly, he looked at Heymos and continued what he had just said.

"So when you said to ask for debts, you meant asking for debts from the goddess of the underworld?"

"Ah."

Gallan: "..."

I don't know what to say.

Heymos was standing by the side eating a cake covered in jam. Garlan thought it was too sweet, but he liked it very much.

After eating, he licked off the red jam left on his fingers.

After eating, he watched Garlan rubbing Nega's stomach and Nega moaned in comfort, squatted down, and stretched out his fingers to poke Nega's soft belly.

Then, his finger was bitten fiercely by the unhappy Nega Ahwu.

Sticking to its own pride and never allowing anyone other than Garlan to poke its stomach, the little milk lion glared at Heymos viciously, although its teeth were still too young and could only be ground with Heymoth's finger , it still bites tightly and refuses to let go.

Crouching Heymos stared at it, and it stared back at Heymos.

Garlan on the side watched the man and the lion glaring at each other and couldn't help but want to laugh.

He reached out and rubbed Nega's ears, and Nega opened his mouth obediently, and let go of Heymos' fingers.

Then it started to jump into Garlan's arms, and Garlan hugged it with a smile.

The little milk lion nestled into a ball in the boy's arms, and hummed aggrievedly at first, but it was so comfortable being smoothed by Garlan, and it didn't take long before he narrowed his eyes comfortably and fell asleep snoring .

However, Nega didn't know that as soon as he fell asleep, he was lifted out of Garlan's arms by the annoying man pinching the back of the neck, and put it on the soft quilt beside him.

The quilt under her body was soft, and the sun above it was warm, so Niega just shook her fluffy ears and continued to sleep soundly.

Heymos sat down beside Garlan on his knees.

"Because it was a deal made with her when I 'died', so only those who died before me were replaced."

He said casually, and then reached out to grab the maple syrup soft cake on the low table next to him.

However, before touching the sweet cake, he remembered that his finger was bitten by Nega just now, and stopped in mid-air.

At the moment of his hesitation, the white hand passed over his hand, picking up his target one step ahead of him.

The golden-red eyes glanced at Garlan who picked up the maple syrup soft cake.

Garlan also looked at him with a smile.

Heymos opened his mouth and said, "Ah."

He was extremely calm, and without any shame, he showed the boy who was a little smaller than him begging for food.

Garlan couldn't help but chuckled, and then stuffed the maple syrup soft cake in his hand into his open mouth.

The soft cake is very soft, and the viscous maple syrup flows down from the sides of the soft cake. As long as you pick it up, the honey-colored viscous liquid will inevitably stick to your fingers.

When Garlan looked at the honey-colored maple syrup on his fingers and was about to wash his hands, a shadow suddenly approached him.

The men who had swallowed the soft cake in their mouths leaned over and bowed their heads, directly engulfed his fingers, and licked away the maple syrup left on his fingertips.

After licking, Heymos raised his eyes.

The jet-black forehead hair was scattered at the sharp corners of the eyes, and a strand of snow-white hair was shaken by the wind.

The tip of the man's tongue slowly licked his thin lips.

The light cold lip color and the red tip of the tongue form a contrasting but inexplicably alluring hue.

"You have a taste too?"

The deep voice penetrated into the eardrums, as if it was stained with the sweetness of maple syrup just now.

"Do not……"

Garlan just shook his head and wanted to refuse, but Heymos had already bullied him and directly blocked his mouth.

The tip of his tongue, still stained with maple syrup, invaded his lips and teeth, infecting his taste buds with the sweet and greasy taste.

Heymos patiently dyed the sweetness little by little, and then savored the taste of the lips and tongue that became more sweet because of being soaked in syrup.

The young man's fair cheeks were slightly pink, he hesitated for a moment, closed his eyes, and slowly wrapped the tip of his tongue around...

Suddenly there was a heavy cough from a distance.

Garlan, who had just wrapped the tip of his tongue lightly around him, was startled, pushed Heymos away, reached out and randomly picked up a bright red fruit on the low table, and bit it down bit by bit, pretending to be eating .

The red fruit in his hand reflected his red cheeks, making that face look extremely delicious, and it made people want to bite it down.

Heymos thought so, resisting the urge to bite down, and turned his head to look in the direction of the coughing sound.

Unsurprisingly, what he saw was Shemuer with a dark face.

Shemuer glanced at Heymos with a cold and hard gaze, then glanced away, and landed directly on Garlan whose back was turned to him.

"prince."

Shemuel's shout made Garlan's shoulders tremble.

After hesitating for a while, he turned around, still holding the half-eaten fruit in his hand.

He raised the fruit in his hand to Ximuer with a concealed smile, and said, "Do you want to eat it? Ximuer, this is very sweet and delicious~~"

Shemuer stared at him expressionlessly.

"I heard you skipped class this morning."

He was in charge of Garlan's martial arts lessons.

It's just that he had something to do temporarily this morning, so he appointed one of his subordinates to replace him.

As a result, after returning, I heard that the prince turned around and sneaked away as soon as he heard that he was not there.

"Uh……"

"Now, please follow me to make up the morning class."

"Ximuer, I don't think I really need to learn anything... I'm already an adult, and it's too late to start learning martial arts now."

In the previous life, because he started exercising and learning martial arts since he was a child, his body could get used to it, but in his current life, a student who can at most do aerobics, it would be fatal for him to relearn martial arts now, okay?

"Because of this, you need to exercise more, your body is too weak now!"

Garlan muttered softly.

"Anyway, with Heymos around, my weaknesses are fine."

It's fine if he doesn't say anything, but when he said this, Shemuer's face turned even darker.

Seeing that Ximuer was going to get angry, Garlan saw that the situation was not good, and decisively picked up a grape from the table, and when Ximuer just opened his mouth, he moved forward and stuffed the grape into Ximuer's mouth.

"Always angry and easy to grow old, Xie Muer, eating more sweet things will make you feel much better."

The young man who stuffed the juicy grapes into Shemuer's mouth bent his eyes and smiled at Shemuer, and looked up at him. His eyes were as bright as the morning stars. The bright smile made the little anger in Shemuer's heart not yet brewed. It faded away without a trace.

He looked at the prince who was stuffing grapes for himself with a grin and a face of 'look~~ I'm pleasing you' expression, he was angry and helpless at the same time.

His mouth was blocked and unable to speak, he looked at Garlan helplessly, but there was a deep softness hidden deep in his helpless eyes.

He always has nothing to do with his prince.

Whether it was before or now.

At this time, the voice of laughing came from behind.

You don't need to look back, just by listening to that hearty laughter, you can guess who is coming.

Sure enough, the familiar thick voice immediately sounded from behind.

"Garlan, only Shemuer has it, brother Wang doesn't have it?"

Swallowing the grape in his mouth, Shemuer turned sideways and saluted Kamos who was striding forward.

He watched Kamos come to Garlan with a blank face, lowered his head with a smile, and had an expression of 'I'm going to be fed too'.

Then, His Majesty the Emperor was really fed a dried walnut by His Highness the Prince, and he was instantly satisfied.

The corners of the eyes of the head of the Royal Guards who were in charge of guarding His Majesty the Emperor twitched uncontrollably.

Kaihos and Taputi, who came with Kamos, were very calm about this, after all, it has been commonplace since that life.

While Kamos was talking to Garlan, Kaihos turned his head and looked to one side.

On the platform outside the gazebo, the lion cub was basking in the sun and sleeping soundly.

Heymos stood leaning against the stone pillar on one side of the gazebo, his expression was indifferent, but his eyes were always on this side.

No need to think about it, he must be looking at the prince.

Keyhos walked up to the lion cub first, and touched its little head.

"Lord Heymos, the thing you exchanged for our memory can be said to be for the prince, but in fact it is also for yourself."

Heymos said nothing.

Kehos lowered his eyes and continued talking.

"If we don't have the memory of that life, in this life, if you and the prince want to be together, the few of us will definitely try our best to stop it."

"However, if we remember...we will feel sorry for him, so as long as it is what the prince wishes, we will never refuse."

"In this way, even if the prince will inherit the throne this time, with our acquiescence and even our whole-hearted help, there will be much fewer obstacles between you."

"That's your plan, isn't it?"

Keyhors called out the old title.

"Your Majesty Heymos."

Still no answer, under the pitch-black hair gently blowing in the breeze, those golden-red eyes followed the figure of a person from beginning to end.

Persistent, unwavering.

It was as if what he was looking at was the whole world.

Keyhos sighed softly.

"……never mind."

He turned his head and looked forward as well.

Under the sun, the boy's bright and carefree smile is everything they are pursuing together.

Other than that, nothing matters anymore.

Whatever the purpose of Heymus was, it didn't matter.

He looked at Garlan, thinking tenderly.

As long as the result makes the prince happy.

And Kaihos also has to admit that in this world, the only person who can make him trust the prince is the person beside him.

Heymos.

In this world, there will never be anyone who loves the prince more than him.

The more than 2000 years that are long enough to change land and sea have proved everything.

"Ow~"

Probably disturbed by Kaihos' voice, Little Nega woke up from a deep sleep, jumped and fell to the ground.

He ran towards Garlan with four short legs.

After running over, he threw a hug on Garlan's calf, and then howled, insisting that Garlan hug him.

A big hand picked it up.

The little milk lion, who was still rambunctious just now, went limp as soon as the back of its neck was picked up. It hung motionless in the air, and could only look at Garlan helplessly.

Garlan looked soft-hearted, and reached out to take it, but Kamos laughed, and suddenly threw Nega to Shemuer.

The Shemuer, who was discussing with Tapti about the arrangement of the prince's literary and martial arts lessons, was standing beside him, and disaster came from the side, scrambling to catch the little milk lion thrown by His Majesty the Emperor.

As soon as the back of the neck loosened, Nega became alive again in an instant, waving his claws and struggling vigorously.

With a hiss, after tearing the clothes on Shemuer's chest, it jumped into Garlan's arms.

Xie Muer, who was always dressed neatly and meticulously, was torn at the moment, exposing half of his chest, and his face was very dark.

Taputi froze for a moment, covered her lips and couldn't help laughing.

Garlan quickly hugged the little Nega who caused the trouble, and looked at Shemuer with innocent eyes instead of Nega.

However, a certain emperor who was the culprit laughed out loud without any guilt, and even tried to use his bracelet to take a picture of Shemuer's disheveled appearance, which was rarely seen, as a laughing stock in the future. Xie Muer made a slap and slapped the bracelet off.

"Awwhhh~~?"

This is the dazed little fur ball nestled in Garlan's arms.

The bright sunlight fell on the earth, dyeing the canopy rustling in the wind with a faint golden light.

The waves beat against the cliff, making the sound of splashing water.

……

The river of time is cruel.

The vicissitudes of life, the changes of the sun and the moon, countless things will gradually disappear in the long years, leaving no traces.

However, there are also some things that will never change despite the passage of time.

Because, from the moment it exists, it has become eternal.

【end】

Three months have passed since Aaron Landis's little prince returned.

In the early morning of this day, there were angry roars in His Majesty's bedroom.

"Brother Wang, I feel that, as the future emperor, I have the responsibility and obligation to personally inspect and visit all the places in Aaron Landis."

"Don't worry, I brought the token and the strongest guards. If I encounter a big trouble that can't be solved by these two, I will contact you with the bracelet immediately. At that time, Brother Wang, you must bring the army to help as soon as possible." I'm pretending... No, come and protect me."

"As for the spaceship, it's a bit too conspicuous. I'll let it fly back by itself when I get to my destination."

"Well, that's about it. This time I'm going out to play... Cough, no, it will take about three or four, four or five years to travel and inspect the continent of Aaron Landis. Of course, every other year, halfway I will also go back to rest, and when I go back, I will bring gifts for you and Kayhorstapti Shemuer."

The blond boy on the three-dimensional screen finished speaking with a smile, and then added another sentence.

"By the way, Brother Wang, don't send anyone to chase me, or I will be angry."

Kamos: "..."

I was just about to ask Ximuer to chase him back.

His Majesty the Emperor was very angry, very angry.

No wonder Heymos paid special attention to learning the map of the Aaron Landis continent and the local conditions in the past three months. It seems that it was premeditated.

What a wolfish ambition!

"He must have coaxed and lured Garlan away!"

His Majesty the Emperor angrily condemned the big black wolf who took away his brother.

It must be Heymos' fault!Otherwise, how could his little prince, who is so cute and cute, do such a thing as running away from home——

Kehos on the side silently looked away.

...It's really hard to say who is abducting whom...

"In the final analysis, Your Majesty, you have overdone it."

The head priestess shot Kamos angrily.

"If it weren't for your Majesty's insistence on 'exercising' Sir Heymos three times a day, the prince would not be angry, and he would not sneak away like this."

If a couple in love is disturbed like this, anyone will be angry.

His Majesty the Emperor, who was furious just a second ago, froze in an instant.

He stayed there for a while, looking at Garlan in the light curtain with aggrieved eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Does he really only come back once a year?"

Ximuer looked very calm, he snorted, and said to Kamos: "Your Majesty, send a message to the prince's bracelet and tell him to return to the palace once a month, this is the bottom line."

"Oh oh oh-"

…………

But at this moment, in the sky thousands of miles away, the golden spaceship was flying slowly, passing through the snow-white floating clouds.

The sun fell, making it glisten.

Garlan stood on the side of the ship, looking at the endless sky.

The head-on wind messed up his short bright blond hair, and his golden pupils looked into the distance, shining brightly and full of vitality.

"Really do this?"

"Ah."

Garlan turned around and looked at Heymos.

"Actually, in that life, I always wanted to travel this land and travel freely to all the places I hadn't been to, but I didn't expect that I would end up on the throne and failed to fulfill this wish."

Suddenly remembered something, he laughed.

He said: "You should still remember that I already ran away that time, planning to travel around the continent as a bard from now on, but you chased me back after I didn't run very far."

"Now, brother Wang and Xie Muer are all here, so I feel that I can do what I have always wanted to do."

After speaking, he suddenly paused.

"and……"

he whispered,

"Lovers also need time to be alone together."

Brother Wang and Xie Muer's overprotection of him is really...

He's an adult, okay?

There are some things that can be done, okay?

Looking at Garlan who was speaking softly in front of him, the corners of Heymos's lips curled up slightly.

He lowered his head and kissed those pink lips lovingly.

"Wherever you go, I will be by your side," he said.

The golden red eyes reflected the boy in his arms, as if looking at his whole world.

As long as you are here, by my side, I have everything.

…………

"Speaking of which, if we wander around like this, will we run into the reincarnated Tal or Novi?"

"perhaps."

"Maybe the Kareni I met this time is still a baby, or maybe Tarnovi is now an old man, and Emma might be a man in this life—I think it's very interesting to think about it."

"Don't mention her."

"...you should be a little more open-minded."

"No, I'm stingy."

"........."

The lips that wanted to say something were blocked again.

The golden spaceship flew slowly in the blue sky, and the small sounds scattered and melted in the sunlight in the sky.

…………

The boy's journey to the throne is over.

However, the story does not end there.

On this ancient and beautiful continent of Aaron Landis, the boy's journey has just begun.

In the future, what kind of things he will encounter, what kind of people he will meet, may be new acquaintances, or may be old people, everything is unknown.

However, it is precisely because everything is unknown that it is even more yearning.

Perhaps, that will be the beginning of another interesting adventure story.

The boy's journey is over.

The boy's journey is about to begin.

--【over】--

The author has something to say: After typing this word, let out a long sigh of relief.

Some sighed, some were relieved, and some were disappointed.

After a year and a month, the legend of the boy ascending to the throne came to an end at this moment.

The ending may not be the most satisfactory ending, and it is impossible to satisfy everyone, but this is the most suitable and appropriate ending in my mind.

After thinking about it for a long time, I don't know what to say, I can only sincerely thank all the little friends who can accompany me and accompany Garlan to the end.

Thank you for liking him.

Thank you for liking this article.

Thank you for your many nutrient solutions and shell mines. I am very happy to see so many messages and long comments.
