It was late at night, and Garlan was sitting on the soft cushion. The big brown lion was lying in front of him, his big plush head resting on Garlan's lap, and he was sleeping soundly.
The young man was naked, and the bright lights shone on his fair skin, making the blue and purple marks on his body clearer.
The female officer was kneeling on the soft cushion behind him, and was gently applying the stasis-removing ointment to the bruises on his back.
The room was quiet, except for Nega's purring.
Garlan stroked the big lion lying in front of him one after another, feeling the coolness of the ointment applied to his back, which relieved the pain a lot.
After a long time, he spoke in a low voice.
"Tapti, are you angry?"
The female officer froze for a moment, then smiled.
"I'm not angry, Your Highness."
"… real?"
"I didn't lie to you."
The female officer replied with a smile while continuing to apply the ointment.
"Do you remember? What I said at the beginning."
"I said, because you have been sensible since you were a child, I have always hoped that you would be more willful. I hope you can do what you want to do according to your own heart."
Putting the ointment box aside, Tapti draped a soft white cloth over Garlan's shoulders.
"So, Your Highness, I'm actually a little happy. After all these years, you've finally been self-willed for this time... It's just that this time is a bit too powerful."
"However, it doesn't matter. You are still young and young, and it's the time when you can do whatever you want, so it doesn't matter, even if you want to continue to do the same thing, there is no problem."
"Prince, I watched you grow up. I know what kind of person you are, so I believe that you will come back eventually."
Tapti knelt on the cushion, behind Garlan.
Under the bright light, she stretched out her hands and embraced the young teenager from behind.
"Prince, you can do whatever you want. But no matter how far you go, please come back here."
She held the child tenderly in her arms.
She said softly, "please don't forget that I will be here anytime, waiting for your return."
Garlan leaned against that warm embrace, the familiar faint fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose.
It was the breath that had surrounded him since childhood.
He hummed softly, closed his eyes, let himself be immersed in it, and fell asleep relaxed in a trance.
…
…
Shulos came to the royal city with Garlan and his party, but for some reason, he couldn't enter the royal palace together that night, so he had to stay outside temporarily to wait for news.
He was alone outside for two days before someone came over. The man who looked like a guard in the palace brought him into the palace, and before a palace, motioned him to enter.
Looking at the huge white jade gate with gorgeous carvings in front of him, Shu Luos hesitated for a while, thinking for a long time, thinking that no one should trouble such a small bard as him, and then walked in.
As soon as he entered, his eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw the beautiful and lovely girls walking through the courtyard, their slender figures, fluttering white dresses, soft long hair, and crisp laughter, just like fairies in the forest. .
They were either holding a silver plate with fruit, or holding a jade jug, or holding a dish, walking briskly on the grass with light steps.
Goddess Alphamir, is this your fairyland
Just when Shulos was moved by the beauty in front of him, a voice sounded in his ear.
"You are Shulos?"
As soon as Shulos turned his head, he saw a woman standing in front of him, with a beautiful figure and elegant temperament.
The light-colored long skirt, and the light blue belt wrapped around her waist outlines the delicate curve of her body.
Her long hair was rolled up behind her head, milky white moonstone ornaments adorned her temples, and her red lips were as bright as cinnabar.
beauty!
Before he could think about it, it was almost instinctive, Shulos stepped forward decisively, put one hand on his chest, and bowed to the beauty.
"Beautiful lady, I am the Shulos you were looking for."
He said politely, raised his eyes, and raised the corners of his eyes slightly.
Those peach blossom eyes looked at each other deeply, and there seemed to be water waves rippling in the depths of their eyes.
"Your figure is like a ray of moonlight falling from the night sky, and it fell into my heart in an instant. Your voice called out my name, and I didn't know until today that my name is so beautiful. "
The bard, who was trying his best to show off his gorgeous feathers like a flower peacock, didn't notice the face of the female magistrate, who had a calm look, quickly sank.
He didn't even know that the first time he met, his remarks had made him directly into the abyss by Tapti.
At this moment, he was still raising his hand and stroking his forehead, showing his most handsome side.
"Beautiful lady, I wonder if I'm lucky enough to know your name..."
Halfway through the words, he was interrupted unceremoniously.
"follow me."
The female officer interrupted Shu Luos expressionlessly, then turned around, and walked straight to the side regardless of whether Shu Luo was following or not.
Ah, another Cayhorth.
Tapti frowned as he walked.
It is said that the prince spent the more than 20 days outside and stayed with this glib man. Kaihos at least knows how to restrain himself in front of the prince and won't mess around, but now this man...
She couldn't help but worry.
I don't know if the prince has followed suit
Her lovely little prince couldn't be like this kind of man.
The handsome smile of the bard who failed to release his charm froze on his face. Seeing that the female officer didn't even look at him, he just walked forward, and he quickly followed.
As he walked, he continued to try to talk to her, but unfortunately, his proud charm failed again, and the female officer didn't say a word along the way.
He tried a few times, but in the end he could only honestly follow behind.
The female officer led him into the depths of the garden, where a white stone railing was erected to isolate a small courtyard.
Small waterfalls flow down the stacked rocks with a crisp splash, forming a thin stream.
Slightly hard and wide white cloth was spread out on the green grass, filled with all kinds of delicacies, fruit desserts, and the aroma came from the nostrils.
It looked like a small private banquet with not many people. Except for him, there were only five or six people sitting on the ground, talking and eating.
But among these people, he didn't know any of them except His Highness Heimos. However, one of the one-eyed blond knights caught his attention, and if he guessed correctly, that one should be the one who spread the name of romance all over the world...
"Shiros."
A familiar voice called his name, and the young prince walked up to him and smiled at him.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting, something happened these two days..."
Garland said apologetically.
Shulos' eyes fell on Garlan's arm.
At noon, the bright sunlight shone on the young man's fair arm, and it could be clearly seen that there was still a little light blue bruise left there.
Shulos frowned, he remembered that there was no such trace before Gal entered the palace.
"what happened?"
He pointed to the bruise and asked, "What happened? Gal, you are a prince, who would dare to hurt you?"
"Uh… "
"Don't be afraid, there is me, tell me who the guy who hurt you is, and I will help you teach him a lesson."
Garlan rubbed his forehead lightly with his fingers.
"It's Brother Wang."
He said, adding another sentence.
"It's King Camos."
Shulos: "..."
Is it too late to withdraw the foreword
The teenager said with a smile: "Want to help me teach him a lesson?"
"... If you want me to die, just ask someone to drag me down and chop me up."
Garlan laughed and pulled Shulos to go there, letting Shulos sit cross-legged on the ground like the others, and then he picked up a fruit and handed it to Shulos.
"Here, eat."
He smiled and said, "I said at the beginning that I would treat you to a big meal, but now I have fulfilled this promise."
Shulos took the fruit unceremoniously and took a bite.
The sun shone warmly on his body, and the sweet juice filled his mouth, making him narrow his eyes comfortably.
"Why did King Camos fight... Cough, treat you like this? I heard that he loves you very much?"
He asked casually while eating.
"He was very angry because of my secretly leaving the palace."
"Yeah, I almost forgot, you came out of Qiao's house... Wait."
Halfway through, Shulos stopped abruptly, and he suddenly remembered the previous conversation with Garlan.
"Gal... Prince Lan, you ran away from home when you said that your brother wanted to pass on the family business to you, but you didn't want it."
He squeaked and turned his stiff neck to look at Garlan.
"This 'family business' that you don't want is..."
"It's the throne."
Garland replied in a light tone.
Shulos: "..."
Is this the so-called 'you will be forced to inherit the throne if you don't run away from home'
…
... Ah, the prince is not a prince.
This behavior, this thinking, this idea, is so different.
Civilians like me have absolutely no idea what bizarre things are going on in people's minds!
"Would you like to drink?"
Just when Shulos was in chaos, a lark-like voice suddenly came from beside him.
As soon as he turned his head, he saw a beautiful maid kneeling beside him, holding a jug in her hand, showing him a sweet smile.
So, the bard immediately put the things he didn't understand behind him, and laughed and laughed with the maid.
In this casual private banquet, the maids were allowed to move freely, and to talk and laugh with anyone.
Heimos and Garlan naturally did not dare to approach.
The handsome and gentle knights of Cayhorth have always been very popular with them, but now the new face who appeared at the prince's banquet is also a handsome young man, and he can speak well, and his voice is good, which makes people listen to praise. Overjoyed, they coaxed them into joy. I saw those beautiful maids surrounding the bard, giving out crisp laughter from time to time.
Garland, who had long known Shulos' virtue, didn't bother to care about him, but the blond knight who was sitting not far away looked over.
This man is... the guy who stayed with the prince all the way.
The guy who takes his place by the prince's side these days.
After squinting and carefully observing the bard for a while, the corners of Kaihos' lips suddenly raised.
He took a sip of wine and asked.
"Prince, who is that?"
"Oh, his name is Shulos, and he's my travel companion these days, a bard."
Glancing at the bard who used sweet words among the beautiful maids, Gallan, who was sitting cross-legged, raised his chin and said angrily.
"Well, like you, he is a very romantic guy. It is said that wherever he walks, there is his lover... Well, I have to let Tapti remind me later, don't let these maids be deceived by his mouth. ."
"Merry?"
Kaihos said with a smile, "Your Highness, you probably have some misunderstanding."
"If I'm not mistaken, the bard is called Shulos, right?"
Looking up at Shulos, he suddenly said, "Are you still a virgin?"
As soon as the knight's words fell, Xiao Yuanzi, who was still busy just now, suddenly fell silent.
Garland: ? ?
Heimos: …
Tapti: Impossible, right? Obviously another Kaihos.
Kaihos: A sure smile
After a few seconds of dead silence, a certain bard nestled among the women stood up suddenly.
"I'm not! I'm not! You don't talk nonsense—"
He said, a handsome face was red at the moment as if it was about to spit fire.
