Forcing a few words to deal with the female officer calmly, Garlan hurriedly returned to his palace.
All night, he tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
As long as he thought of doing such a thing as if he was possessed at that time, Garlan felt extremely embarrassed.
For some reason, he was a little flustered.
Vaguely, there seems to be something... It seems to be out of control.
All along, Heimos has unreservedly sent his love to him, and paid a lot for him, even to the point of giving up the battle for the throne for him.
Whether it was because of the importance of Heimos in his heart, or because of everything Heimos had done for him, he would always be soft-hearted when facing this man.
And the consequence of this kind of soft-heartedness is that the opponent is pressing step by step, and then, getting more and more aggressive.
Make him more and more overwhelmed.
His feelings for Heimos were complicated.
So many, many different emotions were intertwined, so complicated that he couldn't figure it out himself.
But he never thought he would like Heimos.
Not to mention gender, he already has preconceived resistance.
Just talking about what happened in previous lives...
Yes, up to now, after so much experience, he has learned a lot of truths hidden in previous lives.
Whether it was his own death or the tragedy of Heimos's life, there was a dark hand behind the scenes.
Huymos was actually a victim of that.
Therefore, Garlan has almost let go of the fact that he has been killed several times.
But, let go and let go.
He can become close friends with Heimos without any hesitation, and become the closest family member.
But to become a lover with Heimos or something... No matter what Gallan thinks about it... It's very awkward.
Moreover, as for love, the young man who has never been in love once in his life said.
don't know.
Not at all.
Sleepless nights.
The next day, when Garlan got up from the bed, there were two big dark circles on his face, which startled Tapti and thought he was not feeling well, so he was busy calling a doctor.
Garlan managed to deal with his female officer with the excuse of 'I've been too tired recently so I've lost sleep'.
However, in this way, he was ordered by the female officer to stay in the palace for a day off today.
After lunch, Garlan, who was somewhat refreshed after taking a nap in the morning, leaned lazily on the cushion.
Tar ran over to him and reported to him the progress of the road construction on both sides of the king city and the situation of the Commerce and Trade Office.
Half a month ago, the two major temples had dispatched carefully selected priests to officially enter the Commerce and Trade Office and took charge of some powers.
Tarr didn't care about the division of power, anyway, he was satisfied as long as he managed those shiny gold coins.
Moreover, he was not very interested in matters such as formulating regulations and adjudicating disputes between businessmen. He felt that these things were really a headache, and now it is just right to leave them to those priests.
Hmm~~ It must be that His Majesty felt distressed that he had lost weight from exhaustion during this period of time, so he found someone to help him.
Fatty Tal, who had gained weight again, thought so contentedly.
Of course, it was essential to secretly monitor the actions of the priests of the two major temples in the Commerce and Trade Office.
Tarr rambled about what the priests had done during this time to Gallan, mainly focusing on the embarrassing things that the priests had just made when they came in. It was more gossip than reporting.
It's just that he was talking with great interest, but Garlan looked a little absent-minded, looking down as if he was thinking about something, and suddenly interrupted his words in the middle.
"Tal, if it were you, what would make you want to kiss someone?"
Tarr paused.
He scratched his head and said, "Uh... If you want to kiss her, you should like her."
Garlan felt his heart beating rapidly twice, he pursed his mouth tightly, and his mind was a little confused.
At this moment, a glass of juice with ice was handed to him, interrupting his thoughts.
"I don't think so."
The female officer who brought him the juice said.
"Tal, do you want to kiss Your Majesty?"
The little fat man's eyes lit up.
"think!"
He answered loudly, without hesitation.
If his majesty was willing to grant him this honor, he would be willing to kiss his toes.
His eyes sparkled at Garlan.
"So can I kiss you, Your Highness?"
Garland: "..."
Does not.
Garland shook his head decisively.
So the little chubby dog whose eyes glittered at his owner wagging his tail desperately wilted instantly.
"Your Majesty, there are many reasons for wanting to kiss each other, not only because of love, but also because of reverence, pity for the other party, or the feeling of pampering because of the feeling that the other party is cute."
The female officer standing by the side spoke calmly and smiled slightly.
"For example, Your Majesty, I've always wanted to kiss you as a child and now, but it's not because I'm in love with you—and presumably that's not why Tarr wants to kiss you either."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the lady officer is right, not only that, because Goddess Aphdomir has given the world a desire for beauty, so when I see beautiful things, I can't help but want to kiss them. Express your admiration for it."
The maid who was a follower of Aptomir who followed behind the female officer smiled and pulled a strand of long hair behind her ear.
"For example, when a lot of people see a beautiful flower in bloom, they can't help but want to kiss that beautiful petal, don't they?" she said.
"Well... that seems to be correct."
When Garlan listened to it, he thought... They seem to be making sense.
Even if you want to kiss each other, it doesn't mean you like each other.
There are many reasons and emotions that can lead to this thought.
Moreover, he just moved a little thought at that moment, presumably because of the ambiguous atmosphere at that time.
It may also be because, as the maid said, the charming moonlight under the night caused a certain beautiful man's beauty and hormones to burst, which made him confused.
Well, so, it's all the fault of the charming moonlight.
caused his illusion.
Thinking of this, Garlan suddenly relaxed.
This relaxation made him feel a little sleepy.
After all, although I squinted for a while in the morning, I couldn't sleep well when I was overwhelmed by things in my heart.
Now that the whole person was relaxed, he said to Tapti and went straight back to the bedroom to catch up on sleep.
The female officer's eyes were lightly curved, she smiled softly, and watched her little majesty return to the bedroom.
She clasped her hands in front of her, her posture was calm, and a strand of long hair fell on her cheeks, which made her beautiful appearance more and more.
When Garlan's figure disappeared, Tapti turned his head.
She turned her head to look in a certain direction and smiled. The smile was an extreme tenderness in another sense.
That smile made Tal's scalp tingle for some reason.
Uh... The direction that Lord Tapti is looking... That direction seems to be... The direction of Lord Heimos' palace
…
…
Seeing that a month is about to pass, after a long time of busywork, the legion finally successfully completed the military reform.
Heimos just had a little free time.
He's been quite depressed lately.
After that night, although he was still very busy, he occasionally found time to return to the palace.
But for some reason, every time he wants to see Garlan, he always misses it by accident. Even if it is difficult to see each other, it will not take long for Garlan to deal with it, and during this period, the female officer and the maid will always be by her side.
What made him even more puzzled was that he thought that after the incident, Garlan, who should have had some insight, would react a little abnormally when he saw him.
However, no.
The young man looked at him calmly, the same as before, without the slightest change.
Heimos was terribly upset at the thought of the great opportunity that night had been ruined.
At that time, his hand had already been raised, and just waiting for Gallan to kiss him, he immediately turned his back on the guest and completely cast aside his bitter restraint.
He wants to push the boy to the point where there is no way out.
No matter what method was used, even if he made him cry, he had to force Garlan to admit the fact that he was a little attracted to him, and force him to accept himself.
However…
…
Gee, that damn night bird!
As a result, now, let alone the relationship has gone further, it has even regressed a bit.
I don't know if it was his delusion or not, but he always felt that Tapti was preventing himself from being alone with Garlan, intentionally or unintentionally.
There was something hidden in her almost perfect ceremonial smile.
Does she also...
Heimos felt that this could not go on any longer.
In five days, he will be leaving for Canal. This time, I am afraid it will take several months or even more than half a year to come back.
If during this period of time, Tapti had instilled some bad views on Garlan...
With Garlan's slowness, his hints and temptations may not have any effect at all, and it seems that he still has to fight head-on.
"Your Majesty Heimos, another batch of battle armors arrived today, and I have..."
Just when Heimos was pondering how to fight head-on, someone walked in and reported to Heimos the armaments delivered today.
The long brunette hair was tied up high behind her head, and the female knight in leather armor stood upright in front of Heimos.
During the rebuilding of the legion, Fataya defeated many male knights with strength and became a member of Heimos.
Although it is controversial, Heimos has always only cared about whether his subordinates have enough ability, and nothing else matters.
The dissatisfaction of those failed male knights, to him, was no different from the barking of a prodigal dog.
And Fataya, who has always been discriminated against in the city guards, rejected by her colleagues, and suppressed by her bosses because of her gender, finally got the chance she had always dreamed of going to the battlefield.
So during this time, she acted harder than anyone else.
As for Lord Heimos, who doesn't care about her gender and recognizes her strength and is willing to give her a chance, she is not only grateful, but also very respectful.
Heimos looked at Fataya, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
"Fataya."
"Yes?"
Thinking that Heimos was going to issue a mission, the female knight froze and listened carefully.
"What did Suojia do when he wooed you?"
"… what?"
Fataya, who listened carefully to the order, was stupid on the spot.
"Answer me, this is an order."
"Yes, yes! Uh, this, that..."
Even the female knight, who has always acted neatly, stuttered when forced to discuss with her boss how she was courted by her lover.
Fataya repeatedly told himself in his heart, calm down, be calm, just answer the question with a subordinate who obeys the military order.
She stabilized her mind, suppressed the embarrassment, quickly adjusted her attitude, and answered.
"The location is in a house, the house he bought in the royal city."
"He covered the house with flowers in advance, and then let someone inform me that he had something important to look for, and deceived me."
"When I went in, I was shocked when I saw the flowers in the room. At this time, he suddenly appeared behind me, and then knelt down to me with the flowers..."
Even in a serious tone, Fataya couldn't go on.
Heimos didn't force it, but after pondering for a while, he asked her.
"Would this approach be exciting?"
Fataya thought for a while and answered seriously.
"To be honest, that kind of situation is really easy to move, otherwise I wouldn't accept him so easily."
"What kind of flower?"
"Fire red roses."
"Why not use other flowers? Because you like this?"
"No, I don't really like it."
Fataya shook her head.
"But the red rose is said to be the flower that the goddess of love and beauty, Afdomir, bloomed for the dripping blood and tears of her beloved teenager. The heart of love, so, generally when courting people, will use this kind of flower."
"… Well, I see."
said Heimos, standing up.
"I'm going back to the palace. I'll stay there for the next two days. I'll leave you with the statistics of the armaments and supplies sent."
"Yes, Your Excellency."
In this way, the two of them completed a conversation that was actually asking about courtship in a serious tone that looked like they were discussing military affairs.
Heimos got up immediately, did not tell anyone, and did not bring any confidant guards, so he returned to the palace in secret.
On the way back to the royal city on horseback, he carefully pondered the location of the decisive battle for a long time.
…
…
In the evening, the sun had not yet set, and the heat of noon still remained.
However, the night wind had already picked up, bringing a moist breath on the distant sea, making the temperature at this time much more comfortable than noon.
Garlan just ended his meeting with Zuo Sixiang in the small court not long ago.
Although Zuo Sixiang resolutely opposed the war at first, he chose to remain silent after the great court meeting.
In silence, he assisted Tarr in preparing for the expedition.
There is no doubt about the ability of the Zuo Sixiang who was valued and promoted by Gallan. With his assistance, the preparations for the army's expedition were completed earlier than expected.
After being busy for nearly a month for this expedition, Garlan also felt tired.
So, his old troubles were made again.
While Xie Muer and his personal guard were not paying attention, he slipped away, and once again got mad at his high priest.
Throwing away the crowd, he came to a remote corner courtyard. The young man was lying on the grass with his hands behind his head, and the night wind was blowing his long golden hair.
He looked at the sky comfortably like a burning cloud that was gradually being ignited, enjoying a rare leisure time.
At this time, there was a sudden eagle call from the sky.
A black eagle hovered above him, making a short chirping sound.
Garlan looked at Anu the Black Hawk, and suddenly understood why Heimos always found himself so quickly.
The guy fouled.
He sat up a little unhappily, and Anu closed his wings and landed gently on his arm, with a note tied to his leg.
When I opened it, it was Heimos's handwriting.
Heimos said that he was waiting for him in a place, and that he had something very important to look for.
…
In the depths of the golden palace, there is an exquisite palace.
Unlike other majestic stone palaces, this palace is entirely carved from precious ebony wood.
The entire palace is small, small and exquisite, like a work of art.
The column window sills are all intricate hollow carvings, or depict the legends of the gods, or a scenic spot in Aaron Landis, or flowers and trees, which look lifelike.
Solid gold ornaments adorn it.
Red sandalwood is extremely rare and rare, almost equal to malachite. But it is this rare red sandalwood carved furniture that can be found everywhere in the palace. They are placed in it, and the surface glows with a satin-like luster. The faint fragrance emanating from it surrounds this small palace.
This precious ebony palace was built by King Aaron Landis several generations ago. For the sake of his beloved concubine's smile, he recklessly scoured the country for countless rare woods, and spent countless treasures to build it.
During the reign of this arrogant and extravagant king, the people of Aaron Landis lived in great hardship, but he turned a blind eye to the pleasures of his concubine.
In the end, even his son couldn't take it any longer, and with the support of the noble ministers, he was forced to abdicate.
The king was imprisoned in a side hall outside the palace, and died in depression.
However, this beautiful and exquisite palace like a work of art has been preserved and become a scene in the palace.
The wooden palace is located in a beautiful, wooded and flowery courtyard.
Next to it, a small artificially constructed spring water cascades down and splashes into the clear lake water.
Even the terraces and waterside pavilions by the lake and the pavilions under the springs and waterfalls are all made of precious agarwood.
When Garlan came here, the sun was slowly sinking into the horizon.
The majestic fiery clouds rolled around in the sky, as if a fiery flame had burned half of the sky red.
This exquisite wooden palace reflects the fiery red glow, as if enveloped by crimson flames.
In a previous life, this precious palace was destroyed in a fire, causing countless people to sigh.
And the cause of the fire...
Looking at the familiar scene in front of him, the memory of a certain life of the young man was awakened from the depths of his mind.
…
…
Well, he seemed to know what Heimos's so-called important thing was.
Garlan stood in front of the death scene of one of his lifetimes, expressionless.
