It was early morning and the sun had not yet risen, so the sky was still grey.
This should be the time when everyone was sleeping the most, but the lights in the huge white palace were bright.
All the lights were lit, illuminating the entire palace.
Numerous Aaron Landis soldiers surrounded the entire palace, and more than a dozen teams patrolled back and forth.
Not only the palace, this night, the entire royal city of Kanal was a sleepless night.
The army of Aaron Landis tightly controlled the city, and its soldiers could be seen everywhere in the streets.
Suojia stayed up all night, and his eyes were a little red.
After carefully searching the room where the accident happened, and confirming that no more traces could be found, he was now instructing the guards to pick up the corpse whose brains had been smashed on the stone floor.
Sure enough, it was still dark.
He thought a little unhappily in his heart.
He is a master of intrigues and tricks, but he is instead put on by the knight commander who he thinks is a stupid big man.
Because Mitaias was chosen by the knight commander Kaihoste to protect King Garlan, even if he suspected that something was wrong, he didn't think about the knight commander at all.
He knew that the loyalty of the Sun Knights to King Garlan was unparalleled, so he took it for granted that the people sent by Kaihos would have no problems.
Presumably the same is true of King Gallan.
However, since the time of King Camos, Mitayas has been fighting with Kaihos for seven or eight years.
No one would have imagined that such a knight commander would be bribed.
Still unpredictable after all.
Looking at the messed up corpse, Suojia thought silently in his heart.
The bargaining chip that can make such a knight commander betray, it should not be any glory or wealth, probably a family member or something...
All the subordinates of Knight Commander Mitayas and the cavalry unit he led were also controlled by him.
Maybe they know the inside story, or maybe they don't know what Mitayas did, but now they don't have time to check them one by one.
Just in case, they can only be imprisoned first, and then they will be carefully examined when they return to the royal city of Aaron Landis.
After doing all this, Suojia came to the room on the side of the palace.
He hesitated for a moment, thinking about the reunion between Lord Heimos and His Majesty after a long time, a long night, a lonely man and a fiery fire, maybe... cough cough.
Well, we all know that it is human nature.
Although looking at the sky, most of the night has passed, and most people should have died down, but considering the inhuman stamina of Lord Heimos, maybe it is still... kekekekeke.
After all, being separated for such a long time is understandable.
Uh, no, it's hard to say, although Lord Heimos's physical strength is inhuman, but His Majesty is still a normal person, plus he was injured just now, and his health is not very good.
Lord Heimos has always been pampering His Majesty like a heart-pounding flesh, and he must be distressed to death. Maybe it is because he is so reluctant to give up too much trouble, so he has to endure it by himself.
…
Suojia, who was full of indescribable thoughts and madly running wildly, made up his mind for a long time and was in a dilemma for a long time. Then he secretly put his ear to the door and listened intently for a long time.
The room was quiet, not a single sound could be heard.
He coughed again, softly.
He knew that Lord Heimos should have heard if he was still awake.
Snapped.
There was a soft sound as if something hit the door panel in the room.
Suojia was refreshed, opened the door carefully, and walked in.
As soon as he entered, Heimos, who was sitting on the bed, looked up at him.
You don't need to speak, just a look can convey its meaning.
Suojia paused, then walked slower and lighter.
When he was about two meters away from the bed, he stood still.
He lowered his head and saw the black-brown cloak that had been casually thrown at the foot of the bed.
Why only the cape? What about other clothes
Suojia pondered in his heart, raised his eyes, and glanced furtively at the bedside.
Strange, not as messy as imagined.
No, it should be said that there is no trace of mess.
The priest wondered so secretly in his heart, then raised his head.
Contrary to what he had imagined, the bed was very clean, with almost no wrinkles.
Heimos sat by the head of the bed, hugging the boy in his arms.
Long golden hair spread out on the crook of his brown arm and fell down again.
With his arms around him, Garlan leaned against his chest, his blond half-covered face pressed against his left chest, and fell asleep with the rhythmic beating from the depths of his chest.
He breathed evenly, his eyebrows were quiet, and he seemed to be sleeping peacefully.
A snow-white color can be seen under Garlan's blond hair, wrapping around his slender neck.
A ring of bruises around the neck was medicated and wrapped in bandages.
Suojia briefly reported all the things he had done in a soft voice, and then stood there honestly with his hands tied, waiting for instructions.
Heimos pondered for a while, and then explained a few words to him.
Before he could finish speaking, Garlan, who was leaning on his chest, suddenly hummed softly.
Heimos immediately stopped talking and lowered his head.
Probably disturbed by the sound of their conversation, Garlan's head on Heimos's chest seemed to arch.
"Um... Hey... Mo..."
The sleepy Garlan made a muffled sound.
He didn't open his eyes.
The voice was a little long, with a bit of a nasal sound, because it was in a state of being awake and not awake, and the voice was soft and soft, like the soft clouds in the sky.
"I am here."
Holding Garlan, Heimos coaxed softly.
The tenderness in the eyes of the boy in his arms almost melted and overflowed.
"Sleep a little longer, okay?"
Being coaxed by him, Garlan hummed vaguely again, tilted his head and rubbed his arms in his arms, found a more comfortable position, and fell asleep again.
Heimos looked at the sleeping face of the person in his arms softly, and gently stroked the other's shoulder, as if he was coaxing a child to sleep.
…
Feeling as if he had been forgotten, Suojia, who seemed superfluous in this environment, felt a little sore in his teeth.
It's like eating a raw lemon and it's almost sour.
He looked at his nose, nose, and heart, with a look of turning a blind eye, not hearing, but not hearing, standing honestly, with his head lowered and his eyes down.
Until Heimos spoke again, gave him instructions, and before he left the room, Suojia firmly did not raise his head.
He was afraid that if he took one more look, his teeth would really be sore.
According to what Heimos explained to him, he was busy again.
In a blink of an eye, the sky was already bright.
After most of the morning had passed, Suojia, who had been busy, returned to that room again.
He knocked on the door lightly and waited for a few minutes before pushing the door open and walking in.
It was not Heimos who looked at him.
The person who woke up at this moment has been replaced by Garlan.
Garlan raised his eyes to look at Suojia, raised his hand, raised his fingers to his lips, and made a silent gesture to Suojia.
Suojia was startled.
Heimos has fallen asleep.
With his back to the door, he lay on his side with his head resting on Garlan's lap.
The scene in front of him made Suojia not know what to say for a while.
He also saw sharply that even in his deep sleep, Heimos's hand was holding one of Garlan's hands tightly.
Even without seeing Heimos' face with his back turned to him, he could feel the man's deep attachment.
Suojia suddenly felt a toothache.
From sore to sore.
He felt like he had been hit twice after entering this room twice.
He felt like he really couldn't stand it anymore.
"That... Your Majesty."
He coughed lightly and said,
"I'm here to tell you that Your Excellency Kareni should be here soon."
The implied meaning of what he said was that I saw what you and Lord Heimos looked like now, but it would be troublesome for the old-fashioned Kareni to see it.
"Um... Well, before Your Excellency Kareni comes, I will come again and let you know in advance."
After speaking, Suojia, who consciously completed the reminder task, bowed and saluted, and quickly backed out.
Of course, just shut the door.
Watching Suojia leave, Garlan turned his head and looked at the sky outside through the window.
Before I knew it, most of the morning had passed.
He lowered his head and looked at Heimos sleeping on his lap.
Heimos seemed to be sleeping soundly, and the sharp eyebrows and eyes in the past were relaxed, and the corners of the eyebrows and eyes revealed a deep tired color.
The man made no secret of showing his weakness in front of his eyes.
A head of jet-black hair was scattered on his legs.
It was like a giant black wolf that showed its softest abdomen unsuspectingly. After traveling all the way, exhausted, it finally returned to its beloved owner, enjoying the warmth at this time.
With his right hand held tightly by the opponent, Garlan could only lightly stroke Heimos' hair with his left hand.
The originally short black hair has grown a lot, and the ends have fallen to a section under the back of the neck.
In particular, the forehead hair in front of him had completely covered his eyes when it fell forward, and could only be separated diagonally to both sides.
This long hair looks quite messy because it has not been taken care of for a long time.
Shall I cut him off
Just as Garlan kneaded a tuft of black hair and thought about it in his heart, a hand reached out and held his cheek.
He looked down, and Heimos woke up at some point.
From sideways to lying face up, head resting on his lap.
Golden red eyes stared at him without blinking.
"It's not a dream anymore."
Heimos looked at him for a long time and suddenly said.
"You always appear in my dreams."
Then, when he woke up, he cruelly left him. "
His other hand let go of Garlan's and stretched it out as well.
Holding Garlan's cheeks with both hands, he slowly pressed his head down.
Garlan's eyes were still a little hesitant, but he still bowed his head along the strength of Heimos.
As he bowed his head, he closed his eyes.
The long golden hair fell down and fell on Heimos' cheeks.
Looking at the boy who closed his eyes and bowed his head meekly, the corner of Heimos' lips raised an arc.
He kissed Garlan's lips lightly.
Very shallow, stop at a touch.
Then, kissed again.
He smiled and said, "Now, just like in a dream, you are in my hands, and I can kiss you..."
Garlan opened his eyes to look at him, and his golden pupils reflected the other's slightly curved smiling eyes.
He thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then opened his mouth in a low voice.
"Heimos."
"You said you always dream about me?"
"Um."
"You said you wouldn't lie to me."
"I said."
"Then honestly, did you do anything else in your dream besides kissing me..."
"..."
"!!!"
What does it mean to look away suddenly? !
