Throughout the afternoon, Garlan looked very obedient, and has been obediently looking at the stack of documents that King Camos gave him.
For what he did not understand, he directly asked Camos, and even put forward some of his own opinions on certain matters. For example, when he was a child, he advocated the burying of corpses after floods and droughts to avoid the outbreak of plagues. In the past few years, it has achieved great results, and King Camos has issued a formal law.
However, occasionally some places do not handle it properly, or it is difficult to implement this because of public resistance.
This time, a flood-affected city had a similar problem and reported it.
After Garlan saw it, he thought of the way his world had dealt with this kind of thing, and put forward a few suggestions, and after careful consideration, Kamos planned to mention it in the court for discussion.
He was thinking in the bottom of his heart, just right, let Garlan speak out about this matter, which can be regarded as an official announcement to everyone that he has given Garlan the power to participate in politics.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Garlan asked Elson to rescue himself, and spoke out about the agreement he made with Elson.
In fact, it can be considered that Gallan made his own decisions and participated in political affairs, but not to mention King Camos, even Xie Muer just said 'be more cautious in the future' and did not say any more.
For them, Elson is just a small island country, only equivalent to a city in Aaron Landis. It is optional, and they don't care much. Recognizing her existence and doing business with her don't count. event.
In fact, Aaron Landis did not forcefully prohibit trade with Elson before, but the cities by the sea naturally adapted to that atmosphere and formed a habit.
Moreover, when the previous king was in office, he also considered that even if Elson was a small country the size of a city, it still had the military power of a city. It's not a bad thing, it's good to have more military forces in the southern waters.
It's just that Elson was closed to the country at that time and refused to communicate with any country. As a big country, Aaron Landis was naturally less likely to put down his figure and take the initiative to show his affection, so he simply ignored it.
Now, because of the incident of the pirate attack in Gallan, it was an unexpected gain to bring Elson Country under the command of Aaron Landis.
In this way, it is of course logical to give Elson some benefits, and no one will have an opinion.
Well, as expected, Prince Gallan was sheltered by Isdar, the goddess of luck.
Every accident brings unexpected rewards.
Xie Muer thought so in his heart again.
…
Time passed quickly, and most of the afternoon passed quickly.
Confused by the pile of documents, King Camos threw the parchment in his hand. Sitting cross-legged on the pedestal, he raised his hands, stretched his waist without image, and then bang bang bang He squeezed his fingers and moved his wrists and shoulders.
Garlan, who was sitting beside him, turned to look at Camos, and suddenly said, "Brother Wang."
"Um?"
"Speaking of which, based on Kaihos's achievements, he should have been qualified to be promoted to cavalry commander long ago, right?"
Garland seemed to mention it casually.
The cavalry legions of Aaron Landis were divided into several legions. The number of knights in each legion ranged from 30,000 to 100,000, and the knights were the generals in the legion.
A hundred knights can command a hundred knights.
A thousand knights can command thousands of knights.
The cavalry commander is the top general, who can command tens of thousands of knights, that is to say, the commander of a legion.
All generals who can become cavalry commanders are all illustrious people, and all of them are brave generals out of ten thousand.
In Aaron Landis, there are only six horsemen in total. Because the number of cavalry commanders is too small, there are currently too many legions, and even one legion has nearly 100,000, which is too bloated. It should be reorganized and divided into new legions, but it is because there is no excess. The cavalry commander can command the legion, but it has not been adapted.
"Now the cavalry commander is not enough, isn't it?" Garlan asked King Camos, "Since the merits of Kaihos's establishment are enough, why is it only a thousand cavalry commander now?"
At this time in previous lives, Kaihos had long been promoted to cavalry commander and commanded a legion.
But in this life, for some unknown reason, he has always stayed in the position of the Thousand Knights Commander.
Garlan had also asked Cayhorth, but his knight laughed and avoided him. And considering the sensitivity of military power, he didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble, so he didn't talk much to the king.
But there was no time now, and he felt he had to figure it out.
"Well, this..." King Camos touched his chin and said, "Indeed, Kaihos's merits have already allowed him to be promoted. However, Gallan, once Kaihos is promoted to cavalry commander, according to the rules He must go to command a legion, but he is your guardian knight now, and it is impossible to leave you to go to the legion."
Garlan was stunned for a moment, he hesitated for a moment, and then asked softly.
"In other words, if he is not my guardian knight, can he be promoted?"
"Hahaha."
Garlan's words made King Camos burst into laughter and patted Garlan's head.
"Gallan, although this is true, Kaihos is not willing to leave your side." He said with a smile, "You can rest assured that he gave up his promotion voluntarily."
"That's it..."
The young man said something with a sigh, and took the juice from the maid.
In the translucent glass cup, pink liquid rippling gently, and there are fine ice chips in it.
Garlan held it in both hands, feeling the coolness from his fingers. He took a sip of the juice, and the icy cold liquid flowed into his throat, very sweet and refreshing, and he was a little lost for a while.
After drinking half of the juice, he suddenly turned to Shemuer.
"Ximul, didn't you say that Tar is very talented in memory and numbers? You always ask him to help, or just call him under your command to do things?"
Garlan's eyes twitched and he asked with a smile.
"I asked."
Xie Muer raised his eyes, glanced at Garlan, and replied blankly.
"He said he would follow you, prince."
"… "
Choked by Xie Muer's glance, Garlan shrugged.
"It's too wasteful to follow me, Xie Mu'er, why don't you try again."
"Prince Gallan, please adapt to the change of your identity as soon as possible."
Xie Muer looked at Garlan unhappily, and his tone became severe.
"You are about to become the crown prince. From that moment on, it is a great honor to be by your side. It is the same for all Aaron Landis, please understand this."
"Okay, I understand, but, Xie Mu'er, if, I'm talking about if-if it wasn't for me, would you call Tarr under your command?"
"… "
Xie Muer thought for a while, then nodded.
"should be."
Speaking of which, Prince Garlan's eyesight is really good.
At the beginning, everyone thought that the little fat man was a waste. He was purely Garlan's dog-leg sidekick. He was useless except for flattering. It is also very strong, and it can even be said that the number can be remembered in a short period of time. Therefore, every time he deals with tedious statistical affairs in various places, Tarr alone is worth a few old civil servants who are proficient in this matter.
As for Tarr's consciously proud ability to dig around to inquire about news and gather all kinds of gossip to make the prince happy, Xie Muer was not interested at all.
Xie Mu'er's nodding made Garlan smile slightly, with a relaxed look on his face, as if he was relieved that he had accomplished some task.
After laughing, he put down the stack of papers in his hand.
"Brother Wang."
"Um?"
"I want to go see Nega."
King Camos froze for a moment, then laughed.
"Well, let's go."
He smiled understandingly.
He thought that Garland was so dazed by these political affairs that he couldn't sit still.
Camos said he understood.
You must know that when he was young, he did the same to the pile of official documents, trying every means to find an opportunity to get away. Therefore, he resisted the sharp needle-like gaze of Xie Mu'er, and allowed his younger brother to relax.
Xie Muer was very dissatisfied, but in the end he didn't say anything, just sighed helplessly.
Don't be impatient.
Prince Garlan is still young, so forcing him too much may have the opposite effect, so let's take it slow.
He thought so.
Anyway, there is still enough time for the little prince to grow up slowly.
Although he didn't say it, he had always had great expectations for it... He believed that the future growth space of Prince Gallan would be as broad and vast as the sky where the sun god Shamash was.
Garlan responded, got up and wanted to go, but after taking a step, he suddenly seemed to remember something.
He turned around, bent down and bowed his head.
Before Camos could react, he was firmly kissed on the face by his little brother.
Garland smiled and said to him,
"In this world, the person I like the most is you, Brother Wang."
guard me.
pamper me.
Accompany me to grow up.
Like a brother like a father.
King Camos, who was suddenly kissed by Garlan and said to be his favorite, was instantly elated, and he was about to smile when he grinned.
But the next second, Garlan turned his head again and looked at Xie Muer.
He also smiled brightly at Xi Muer.
"Although you always have a straight face, Xie Mu'er, you are ugly." He said, "But don't worry, even so, I still like you very much."
I know, you want me to sit on the throne.
I know what you expect from me.
But I'm sorry.
In this life, I don't want you to die because of me again.
I want you to live well.
…
The teenager who dropped two thunderbolts in the room ran away after talking to himself, leaving behind the confused priest Shamash in the room, and the Lion King who was happy and then angry.
Xie Mu'er was still stunned, and the unkind and dangerous eyes of King Camos were already staring at him.
"Ximuel."
"Yes?"
"Double the workload today."
Xie Muer: "..."
What about the lion king who is as broad-minded as the boundless grassland
This heart is definitely smaller than the tip of a needle.
Didn't the prince like me even after saying a word
…
Running all the way to the Lion Park, he waved the female officials who were saluting him to leave, and Gallan reached out and hugged Nega.
He was very happy to see Garlan's big lion, shaking his head and rubbing his big head against Garlan.
Garlan hugged the big lion's fluffy head and rubbed his face on the thick mane.
He whispered: "Nega, I'm sorry, I was going to take you with me."
He hugged Niega with a face full of reluctance.
I had already thought about it, I would take Nega with me no matter what, but now it's so hasty... The most important thing is that Nega is too conspicuous. If you take it with you, you will be found in minutes.
Therefore, he could only hold back and leave it here.
Although Nerga was very smart, she still couldn't understand Gallan's words.
But it seemed to instinctively sense that something was wrong, and with a low growl, it rubbed its wet nose on Garlan's face, and it looked at Garlan as if it was worried about him.
Garlan smiled at it, hugged it again, buried his face deep in the dark brown mane, and felt the familiar softness and warmth.
In fact, it should have been goodbye to Kaihos anyway.
He was his guardian knight after all.
But Kaihos knew him too well, and now that he met, I am afraid that he could see through his mind immediately.
So even if I'm sorry to Kaihos, that's all I can do.
After he left, Kaihos should be able to be promoted to cavalry commander, and he could also arrange Tewa and others.
And Tapti himself was born in the upper-class nobles, and the backing is still King Camos, so he doesn't need to worry about her.
A low whimper sounded in his ears, awakening him from his contemplation.
He raised his face from the soft mane, and looked at the big lion's innocent and clear brown eyes like a baby, more and more reluctant to part.
It's okay, it's only temporary.
he thinks.
After a while, after the prince gave up on him, and after Heimos gave up that strange feeling to marry and have children, he could come back.
At that time, he will take Nerga away again.
"Nega, you have to be obedient, I will come back to pick you up."
The big lion didn't understand what he said, just tilted his big head, looked at him with innocent and affectionate eyes, and let out a low groan, as if he was acting like a spoiled child.
…
… … … …
Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, another day has passed.
It was already late at night, and Heimos was lying on the bed, tossing and turning.
Although he had undergone a rigorous exercise that Suojia called almost self-abuse in the afternoon, his body was still exhausted, but he was not at all sleepy at the moment.
For some reason, as soon as he closed his eyes, the smile that Garlan had shown him yesterday would appear in his mind.
He enjoyed watching Garlan laugh.
As long as he saw the smiling face of the young man, even the beating heart in the depths of his chest seemed to melt.
But at that time, Garlan's smile gave him an inexplicable feeling of heart palpitations.
[His Royal Highness, the so-called love is only fleeting. After decades, only the throne you sit on will be real.]
Sogana's gentle voice rang in his ears again, making him feel an indescribable irritability.
Heimos rolled over and sat up, looking sideways out the window.
The windows were open, the clear night sky stretched out as far as the eye could see, and the shreds of starlight scattered across the earth.
As soon as he moved in his heart, he suddenly couldn't help but think of going to see Garlan.
He didn't know why either.
But he just had the urge to see Garlan no matter what.
As soon as this thought popped up, it was like a fire that could not be extinguished.
And he's never been the type to suppress his own desires.
So, after hesitating for a few seconds, he turned over and got out of bed.
Taking advantage of the night, Heimos skillfully avoided the patrols in the palace, followed the route that he was very familiar with, climbed the high wall, and easily sneaked into the palace of Garlan.
The window of Garlan's bedroom was half-open, and from the outside, he could see the large, snow-white bed.
The quilt on the bed was wrapped in a ball and looked round.
For some reason, even when he grew up, Garlan still likes to wrap himself up in a round ball on the bed like a child.
And the appearance of the boy when he fell asleep makes people feel pity and love from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, just seeing the quilt wrapped up in a ball, Heimos had an indescribable feeling, which made his heart soften.
Heimos gently rolled through the window and entered the house.
He didn't intend to wake Garlan, he just wanted to watch it quietly for a while.
However, as soon as he entered the room, his chest tightened.
He felt something was wrong.
The room was too quiet.
It was so quiet that there was no sound of breathing.
He walked to the bed in two steps, stretched out his hand, and yanked the quilt that was wrapped in a ball away—
The quilt he lifted was empty and there was nothing.
The entire figure of Heimos was petrified.
He was still clutching the snow-white quilt that he had lifted, and his arms were frozen in the air.
He stood in this empty bedroom, without even a trace of residual warmth, like a stone sculpture.
Suddenly, a very light bang sounded, the sound of the wind blowing the open window.
Heimos, who was standing beside the bed, looked at the sound subconsciously.
The icy night wind blowing from the window swept across his face, pulling up the fine black hair at the corners of his eyes, revealing his golden-red eyes that were a little dazed.
The starlight fell on his brown face and the thin, cold lips that were slightly parted.
Heimos stood there, looking sideways at the clear night sky outside the window.
His eyes were a little blank.
Not sure if it was an illusion or something else.
Something very important seemed to be missing in the depths of the chest, as if a large hole had been dug out and left empty.
Also, a little bit of a... deep... panic...
…
[Do you want to be a king?]
[Yes.]
A little silence.
Then, the young man smiled slightly.
[… okay, I get it.]
