"Or, I'm here to kiss you right now."

Heimos's face approached, obviously in a very calm tone, but inexplicably gave people a great sense of oppression.

Those words made Garlan angry and nervous for a while.

He knew that Heimos was definitely not just talking.

You must know that it is not only Kaihos who is here now, the head of the royal knights Sage and two other knight commanders are standing by and watching.

But, even so, forcibly kissing him in public...

This guy Heimos can really do it!

Especially when Heimos coaxed him in while he was unprepared just now, and then caught him all at once.

With Gallan's own strength, he would never be able to break free of Heimos's hands that were holding his shoulders at the moment.

Now, when he remembered that he had just come in so unprepared, Garlan couldn't help but scold himself for being stupid, just like a rabbit that jumped into a trap on his own initiative.

Seeing that Gallan pursed his lips and didn't know what he was thinking, he didn't say a word.

Garlan was stunned by his actions, but he didn't dare to reach out to cover his mouth - this was too obvious, so he could barely hold Heimos's face with both hands.

"Don't move!"

The young man said bitterly, raising his head and glaring at each other.

Just because Sa Ge was at the back door of the prison, he didn't dare to make a loud voice, the volume was too low, although he thought it was an angry reprimand, but it really did not have any deterrent effect.

The slightly depressed and deliberately suppressed small, low voice, as soon as it entered Heimos's ears, was automatically beautified by him into a soft coquettish voice, which lightened in his heart like a feather. Scratched lightly.

Coupled with the golden eyes staring up at him... Heimos has the urge to kiss him without hesitation.

However, he managed to restrain himself in the end.

Because he also knew very well that if he really kissed like this, Gallan would definitely fall out with him, and would definitely ignore him for a long time.

Garland is not someone who can be easily coaxed.

As soon as he thought about it, Garlan had already begun to whisper to him the origin of the scar on his arm.

The words he said suddenly interrupted Heimos's thoughts, making his face sink a little.

He also lowered his voice and taught Garlan a few words in a low voice.

If it were normal, Gallan would probably argue with him in dissatisfaction and confront him.

But now, perhaps because he was frightened by the threat he had just made, for fear that the boy who really kissed him in public was very well behaved. As soon as he spoke, Garlan nodded obediently, but while nodding, he looked at himself with that kind of vigilant eyes.

That nervous little appearance made Heimos both angry and funny.

Thinking of the bloodstain on Garlan's arm, he felt a little uncomfortable.

But when he remembered the scene that Garlan said about coercing Sage with his own body, his eyes were so soft that he looked at Garlan, and his heart almost couldn't help but feel a little bit of pity.

In this world, there is only one person who can make him so soft that he doesn't look like himself at all.

There is only one person, and even if he is only injured a little, it makes him feel bad.

In this way, in the eyes of the people next to them, Heimos and Garland stood together like this, one was lightly held by the shoulders, the other held the other's face lightly with both hands, and whispered to each other.

From the side, this picture looks like the two of them are rubbing each other's ears and sideburns as if no one else is there.

It's rare, even a brother wouldn't be so close, right

The head of Sage thought so in his heart.

Recalling that Garland threatened him to protect Heimos before, he felt a little less dissatisfied with Garland.

This is quite rare.

After all, the members of the Royal Knights have long been accustomed to things like those brothers in the royal family, even fathers and sons severing their relationship for the throne and trying their best to kill each other.

Their royal knights will be loyal to the victor who takes the throne, as the sword in the king's hand, slaying the loser.

Nothing like this happened in the previous generation, simply because the last King Aaron Landis was only a child of King Camos.

However, this generation has the right to inherit but there are two princes.

Although the two princes seem to be in a good relationship now, how long can they hold on to their relationship with each other in the face of the temptation of the supreme throne

This thought flashed across the head of the Sage.

However, before he could think about it, the two princes who were talking 'intimately' had already ended their conversation and walked towards him.

Your Excellency Sa consciously stepped aside from the prison door and glanced at Prince Garlan who came out first.

What made him feel a little inexplicable was that the look on Prince Garlan's face was a look of escape at the moment.

Sage hadn't figured it out yet, when Heimos, who was walking past him, suddenly glanced sideways at him.

As a martial artist, his sensitivity to crisis made his muscles tense for a moment.

It is not fear, but the instinct to deal with an extremely dangerous opponent as a warrior.

But Heimos just glanced at him, then turned his head away.

Sage couldn't help but feel a little strange.

If it was because he was forcibly imprisoned in the dungeon, he was unhappy with himself, then Sarge could understand the reason why Prince Heimos looked at him like that.

However, before that, he had seen Prince Heimos several times, and he had never been seen with that kind of eyes. Why this time...

Prince Heimos was 'escorted' back to his palace by a team of knights arranged by the head of the Sarge. This team of knights will be responsible for monitoring him in the palace until the end of the matter.

This news spread in the entire palace almost instantly. At the same time, it was Prince Garland who persuaded the head of the royal knights, Sage, to let him release Prince Heimos, and this matter followed closely. spread.

Many people are extremely surprised by this. After all, the rigidity of royal knights is well known, and as the head of the group, Sage is a dead brain. .

You Si couldn't help but be amazed at the fact that Prince Garlan was able to convince the head of Sage, who behaved like a stone.

And the chief director, who wanted to convict Heimos, was in a very bad mood about this matter.

But he also knew that even if he went to Sage, Sage would never pay attention to him, so he could only continue to wonder if there was a better way.

In any case, as long as Prince Heimos is not cleared of suspicion for a day, he will be justified in convicting him, and he will have a reputation for not being afraid of power.

So, very quickly, it was obvious that someone was behind the scenes, and this matter, which was secretly blocked and only known to some people, quickly spread throughout the palace.

And the wind direction is obviously wrong.

It is said that the royal knights adhered to their duties, guarded the soldiers, and refused to obey the orders of Prince Heimos. Prince Heimos, who felt that he had been provoked, killed the two knights who disobeyed him and took them away. Soldiers.

And now, relying on his identity as a prince, he resolutely refused to admit that he killed the two knights.

Because of his noble status, no one else can take him, so he doesn't need to be punished now and continues to stay in his palace comfortably.

After all, Heimos had been away from the palace for many years, and not long after he came back, many people in the palace were unfamiliar with him. At most, they had heard of his illustrious reputation that he led the army to defeat the Gaishu army and shocked everyone on the northern battlefield.

Coupled with the fierce aura formed by Heimos's year-round battle, and a little bit of evil spirit that occasionally leaks out, many people in the palace subconsciously feel that Prince Heimos is terrible, a murderous person. So they are quite afraid of it.

So, as soon as the previous rumor came out, many people in the palace were talking behind their backs.

People who are not very clear about the facts subconsciously rely on their impression of Prince Heimos to think that Heimos is the murderer.

And the fact that Heimos escaped punishment as a prince also made many people dissatisfied.

Even as a prince, you can't kill people at will.

If one day Prince Heimos doesn't like someone, can he kill that person

After all, there is nothing wrong with killing the royal knight.

It's okay to kill a slave or a pariah, they don't bother to care, but the royal knights can be regarded as people of the noble class.

Heimos did not respond to the upheaval in the palace.

Ever since he returned to the palace, he has been quietly staying inside, not taking a step outside the palace gate, the whole person seems to have completely disappeared in the palace.

And his silence seemed to acquiesce, allowing the rumors that were against him to spread more and more frantically.

Clearly someone is making waves behind the scenes.

Just when the public opinion in the palace was almost one-sided, and it was extremely unfavorable to Heimos, a sudden news suddenly caused an uproar in the palace.

When discussing the matter of Heimos again, amid the arguing of the crowd, Prince Garlan, who had not said a word from beginning to end, suddenly spoke up when the meeting was about to end.

He said that since everyone can't think of a good solution, then simply hand over the matter to Shamash, the god of justice. The fair Shamash has the discerning eye to see through all conspiracies and darkness, and will surely be able to easily find out the real the murderer.

Garlan's words made everyone a little stunned.

Let the sun god Shamash find the murderer

How to find it

The blond prince sitting on the obsidian seat smiled.

"The lion is the messenger of Shamash, the holy beast of my Aaron Landis."

He said confidently,

"I think it must allow Shamash's will to fall on it and find the real murderer."

Everyone: "..."

Everyone present looked at each other for a while, looking at the smiling Prince Garland, someone finally couldn't help but speak.

"Prince Gallan, this is a little bit inappropriate..."

Let a lion identify the murderer.

How unreliable is this.

Although it is said that the lion is the holy beast of Aaron Landis and the symbol of Shamash, it is enough to deceive the foolish people below. They know very well in their hearts that although these lions are fierce and majestic, they are only one head after all. Just a beast.

Why, a mere beast can help you find the murderer

Just kidding

Everyone murmured so much in their hearts, and then they all wanted to deny Garlan's completely unreliable suggestion.

However, Garlan's next sentence blocked everyone's objections.

"What, are you suspecting that Shamash can't give us a just sentence?"

The words that everyone was about to say got stuck in their throats.

Who dares to say in public that he doubts the might of the great Shamash

What's more, in the side hall, several high priests of Shamash are staring here.

That's it.

Some people think so.

If Prince Garland wants to make a fool of himself, let him make a fool of himself. Anyway, he suggested to do so, and it is his own face that loses the game, and it has nothing to do with them.

[The Wise Prince].

The Chief Secretary, who was silent this time, snorted coldly in his heart.

The little prince really took himself seriously.

After being praised by those foolish people in the royal city, I really thought I was very 'wise'.

The Chief Secretary felt that his heart was clear.

The reason why Prince Gallan has the name of being wise is actually that King Camos secretly made people hold it up.

This naive little prince likes to meddle in his own business, and he will intervene when he sees injustice. He thinks that he is just and wise in handling things. Although he has won the favor of those ignorant people, he does not know how many nobles' interests have been damaged because of this.

It's just that King Camos is behind him, and everyone doesn't care about him, and just compliments him a few times.

Whether it is the 'Knight of the Sun' Kaihos, or the high priest of King Camos' confidant, Xi Muer, I am afraid they are under the secret order of King Camos to let them help Prince Gallan. The little prince has a reputation for being wise.

And the reason why King Camos did it is very simple.

In the past few years, Prince Heimos fought in the north and made a great name.

But everyone knew that King Camos favored Prince Gallan, so he deliberately let people pick up the wise name of Prince Gallan in the royal city, so as to suppress the reputation of Prince Heimos.

Anyway, many people in the palace think so.

Fair and wise

Ah.

There is no such person in this world.

It's just acting.

Unselfish, that's something only the gods can do.

In this way, this sensational news spread throughout the palace, and the next day came amidst the discussions of the crowd.

It was still a sunny day, the blue sky was cloudless, and the bright light shone on the earth.

In the huge square in front of the main hall, all the people in the palace were gathered here.

The huge statues of the gods of Aaron Landis stand around the square, as if the eyes of the gods are looking down at the world.

Everyone was gathered in the square, standing honestly, dazedly, or uneasily, and many people looked around anxiously.

The right secretary, the chief secretary, and others sat on the seats on the side of the high platform in the square, looking at the crowded crowd in the square, their faces were different, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

The head of the royal knights, Sage, and the captain of the guard in charge of blocking the palace stood upright on the other side, looking down at the people below with awe-inspiring eyes, searching among the countless people with sharp eyes.

In such a slightly depressing atmosphere, the figure that appeared in the square attracted everyone's attention.

One man and one lion.

Enveloped by bright sunlight.

Beside the blond prince, the huge lion's thick mane fluttered in the wind, making it more and more majestic.

It walked slowly by Garlan's side, majestic.

The terrifying power of the king of beasts made everyone in the square bow their heads in fear, not daring to take a second look.

The chief director sitting on the high platform looked at Garlan, his heart was not disturbed, and he just waited and watched indifferently.

This little prince is really spoiled by King Camos.

Look, as soon as King Camos was not there, and when Xie Muer was not there, Kaihos didn't care, this so-called 'wise prince' made a fool of himself and did such a naive to stupid thing.

Use a beast to find the real murderer.

Too bad he figured it out.

There were so many people in the public eye, and King Camos was not there, but no one helped him clean up the aftermath.

This can't end, the title of the so-called 'wise prince' will be destroyed today.

The chief thought to himself.

fair enough.

Once the little prince's reputation is gone, it will be better to play with.
