The fact that the Royal Palace held the Flower Royal Festival has long spread and everyone knows it.
That night, when the lights in the royal palace were bright, many people in the royal city were also sleepless all night, looking forward to the birth of their new princess.
Early the next morning, they were eager to find out the results of the Hana-Ose Festival, and then, they got a piece of news that made them stunned.
The people in the royal city were stunned at first, but they quickly figured it out.
At first glance, King Garlan's request seemed absurd, but after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
Not to mention kings, even ordinary commoners like them don't want to marry someone uglier than themselves.
So King Garland asks the princess to look better than himself, it seems... normal
Ordinary people think so, so for those admirers of Aptomir, this request of King Garlan is completely natural.
As for the ladies who lost the election collectively, no one talked about them, and even sympathized with them.
In this way, the Hanami Festival celebration was held vigorously, and then ended again vigorously.
The ministers who failed to succeed were depressed, but the people talked about it with relish.
There were even quite a few bards who enthusiastically went around in the royal city to inquire about the details of the celebration, and then adapted the matter into stories or poems and sang them out.
Since then, the phrase [the beauty of King Gallan's appearance is unparalleled in the world] not only spread among Aaron Landis, but also spread abroad, and finally made the whole continent known.
Even, it has been passed down to later generations through poetry and various records, causing later generations to speculate about the appearance of King Gallan.
I don't know... If Garlan learned that his actions would have such a profound impact that future generations would know, would he regret it.
…
...presumably regretful.
…
Forget about the future, anyway, the impact in the palace is not small.
The female officer didn't say anything, she just looked at Garland and laughed for a long time the next morning, until Garland's face turned red.
It wasn't until Garlan was about to lose his temper with her that Tapti could restrain his smile.
On the other hand, Xie Muer, who did not go to the celebration temporarily, was naturally furious when he found out.
For a whole week, every time he saw Garlan, he had a dark face and a bad expression.
The same is true for Zuo Sixiang, every time the court will stare at Garlan with depressed eyes.
Just stare at it, there is no loss anyway.
Garland thought so.
In any case, recently Xi Muer and Zuo Si and other ministers have finally stopped urging him to get married.
In the blink of an eye, more than a week has passed in an instant, and this rumored incident finally faded away.
In the evening of this day, when Heimos walked into Garland's palace, someone happened to come out of it.
The blue-eyed boy wore a lion badge on his shoulders, which symbolized the rank of the knight commander. When he saw Heimos, he stopped and bowed.
The young man's face was cold and indifferent, with almost no expression, and an air of refusal from thousands of miles away.
Heimos glanced at Novi, didn't speak, just nodded indifferently, and walked straight past Novi.
After Novi left in Heimos, he looked at Heimos' back for a while.
He made a secret comparison in his heart, then frowned unpleasantly and walked away quickly.
It's a big difference.
The boy who was a lot shorter than Heimos was expressionless, but he thought bitterly in his heart.
He is not even taller than King Gallan, let alone compared to this...
It's ok.
Novi thought to himself.
He was only fifteen, and he could still grow. If you eat more and exercise more in the future, you will surely catch up with that person.
Novi comforted himself like this, but he didn't know that Garland in the palace was no less depressed than him.
Seeing that the size of the little child at the time came up at once, he was only fifteen years old and he was almost 1.7 meters. I am afraid that he will be able to catch up with him in another year.
At that time, the only man beside him who was shorter than him would be Tarr, who was still plump.
At this moment, Garlan was very fortunate that he had chosen Tar as his companion.
Looking at Heimos who walked in, and scrutinizing him from head to toe, Garlan suddenly felt a little unhappy.
In fact, he is not short, and he is about the same height as the average person. It's just that the people in the circle around him are tall and tall, which makes him one size smaller.
Especially this guy Heimos... Well, in a rough estimate, it's almost 1.95 meters
"What's wrong?"
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Garlan staring at him, and Heimos looked down at his clothes in confusion.
It's normal, there's nothing strange about it
"It's nothing, I just think you're too tall."
Garland was a little angry.
He was always spoiled in front of Heimos, and he unceremoniously sent out his sudden little temper directly to Heimos - sitting on the cushion of the bluestone platform, he lifted it up His right foot kicked Heimos's thigh.
Heimos did not hide, and let Garlan kick himself.
However, it was not in vain that he received such a blow. Before the opponent's foot was retracted, he reached out and grabbed Garlan's ankle.
Because after sending Novi away, Gallan planned to rest on the cushion of the stone platform, so he was barefoot.
At this moment, he was caught by Heimos.
He struggled twice but didn't break away from Heimos's hand, raised his eyebrows and looked at Heimos, with a proud expression of 'don't you dare to fight back'.
Garlan's little arrogant appearance with a somewhat unreasonable look, I am afraid that only Heimos can see it.
Heimos smiled, facing Garlan who raised his eyebrows in protest, with a little force of his hand, he grabbed the ankle in his hand and dragged Garlan towards him.
Garland was originally sitting, but when he was dragged like this, he slid down most of the time. He reflexively pressed his hands on the stone platform to stabilize his body, and quickly stepped on the edge of the stone platform with his other foot to resist the downward slide. force.
And the guy holding his ankle actually took this opportunity to lower his head and unceremoniously took a bite on his calf.
Garland, who was bitten, instinctively kicked him again, but the hand that was holding his ankle reacted very quickly and let go, avoiding his kick.
Seizing the opportunity, Heimos stepped up, leaned over directly, lowered his head and kissed it.
Garlan was placed on the bluestone platform, and this posture was useless, and Heimos was embedded between his legs, making him unable to struggle at all. He could only clench Heimos's arm with his hands.
After a kiss, the two separated.
Garlan suddenly remembered something and looked to the side nervously.
There was no one in the room, the door was closed, and the maids and servants who were waiting outside the door were not there. I think it was Tapti who saw Heimos coming in, so he ordered everyone to retreat.
Only then did Garlan breathe a sigh of relief, and he raised his eyes and glared at Heimos.
This stare made the guy who suppressed him bow his head again, and gagged his mouth fiercely.
This time, the kiss was much harder and longer than the previous kiss, until Garlan felt that he was about to lose his breath and tugged hard at Heimos' sleeve, and was finally let go.
The white cheeks were flushed, and Garlan lay on the cushion of the stone platform, with his head resting on Heimos's legs, still calming down his rapid breathing.
Heimos sat leaning against him, holding Garlan's hand in one hand, intertwining his fingers, and gently stroking the blond hair that fell from his knees with the other hand.
His fingers dipped into the thick blond hair, grabbed a strand, and raised his hand to his lips.
The slightly narrowed golden-red eyes stared at Garland, reflecting the sunset light that came in from the window, and there was a hint of temptation in the corners of his eyes.
"I'll stay here tonight... ok?"
He lowered his head, his low voice sounded like a hint of pleading, but the corners of his lips that brought a warm breath to Gallan's ear were raised.
The voice was deliberately tinged with a charming tone, which made Garlan's cheeks, which had just calmed down, flushed red again.
Of course he knew what Heimos meant.
Over the past few years, Heimos has stayed in his palace from time to time.
It is impossible to say that sleeping in the same bed at night without doing anything, I also know that this guy like a wolf can't let go of the flesh in front of him at all.
However, Heimos has always kept the promise of that day. No matter how far he goes, as long as he shows resistance, Heimos will stop immediately and will never continue to force him.
In the following night, Heimos would hold back no matter how uncomfortable he was, and would only hug him and kiss his forehead gently to comfort him, and would do nothing else.
To be honest, over the past few years, it was obvious that he was the victim of all kinds of taking advantage of tofu, but Garlan was inexplicably a little guilty to Heimos.
Therefore, every time Heimos proposed to stay overnight, Garlan could not refuse.
This time too, he didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
The corners of the man's eyes were bent, he bowed his head, and kissed him gently again.
Pillowing on Heimos's lap, Gallan raised his hand, touched his cheek, and brushed his fingertips over the scar at the corner of Heimos' eyes.
Garland kissed his lips back.
"If you are lucky, you don't have to dance, you just took the golden fan."
Garlan touched Heimos' cheek, and teased with such a smile.
"You want me to dance?"
Heimos raised his eyebrows.
Garlan reflexively made up his mind about Heimos dancing among the flowers... The scene was so beautiful that he shivered in an instant, and quickly shook his head vigorously.
"Forget it, Lord Black Knight, if you really dance at the celebration, your image in the eyes of everyone will be completely ruined."
As he spoke, he squeezed Heimos's face with a smile.
"Thousands of worshippers of the Black Knights in Aaron Landis will weep as their faith collapses."
"It doesn't matter."
Garlan was startled by Heimos' words.
Heimos looked at him deeply, the tip of his nose almost on his.
He could clearly feel the breath of the other person's breath passing over his face.
"If you can allow it, even in a large crowd, no matter how many people are in front of you, let me dance for you for as long as you want..."
Heimos looked at him softly, and lightly rubbed the tip of his nose.
"As long as I can express my admiration for you in this way."
Having said this, Heimos's words suddenly paused.
After a while, he continued, "I'm jealous."
"I know you wouldn't choose any of them... but I'm still jealous."
He lowered his eyelashes and whispered, "I'm jealous that they can dance for you and woo you in front of everyone."
Garlan looked at Heimos, he stretched out his hand and climbed up on Heimos's shoulder.
He opened his eyes, and his bright golden eyes clearly reflected the shadow of the man on him.
"No matter how many people dance in front of me, I will only look at you alone."
Garland said,
"It is now, and it will be in the future."
He said softly, his hands continued back, wrapped around Heimos' neck, made the man bow his head, and let their lips entangle each other again.
The sunset light came down, reflecting the two figures on the snow-white ground.
…
…
One fine afternoon, a fleet of warships arrived at the harbour of the king city of Aaron Landis.
A sea-blue flag flew high on the largest warship, with a pattern of bows and arrows on it.
It was the flag of the southern island nation of Elson.
Since the war in the city of Intozes more than ten years ago, the Elson country has been recognized by Aaron Landis, completely ending the embarrassing position that has been unrecognized.
The frequent trade with Aaron Landis also gradually developed the economy of the Elson country, and the lives of the Elson people were much better.
Then, in the war five years ago, when the situation was unknown and many countries were still watching, the female warrior Elson resolutely set out to Aaron Landis and accepted the call of Gallan, who was still the crown prince at the time, to help Aaron. Lelandis drove the invaders away.
The relationship between the two countries has also become closer and closer, almost equal to that of the Tasda country.
After learning of the arrival of the emissary from the Elson country, Garlan quickly summoned the emissary.
He originally thought that Elson's messenger should still be the Elson female general who often dealt with him. Therefore, he also rejoiced privately for Kaihos, who happened to be in the Western Region at the moment.
This female general was really obsessed with Kaihos, so every time she came as a messenger over the years, Kaihos would immediately go out and hide for a while.
Because they were very familiar with each other, Garlan planned to summon her directly in the government room, and the others present were only Heimos, Shemuer, Suojia, and Zuo Si.
With the light footsteps of the boots stepping on the stone ground, Elson's messenger stepped into the room.
The person who came was not the female general that everyone thought, but a young girl she had never seen before.
The girl looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, tall and slender, with slender hands and feet.
He was dressed in strong leather armor, and his long wavy brown hair was tied high behind his head. He didn't have too much attire, and he looked neat and clean.
A pair of blue eyes, full of energy, looking forward to Gu Shenghui.
Although the girl's face is extremely beautiful, she can't see the slightest weakness between her eyebrows and eyes. On the contrary, her high nose bridge and her eyes looking straight ahead show a resolute look, and the whole person looks heroic.
Her every move, with a bit of pride, all showed her outstanding demeanor as an Elson female warrior.
As soon as the young Elson female warrior entered the room, she looked straight at Garlan sitting on the upper seat.
In an instant, she seemed to recall something, and a look of nostalgia flashed in her eyes.
She leaned over, landed on one knee, and saluted Garland.
When she raised her head again, she smiled brightly at Garlan.
"Long time no see, King Garland."
she says,
"Five years have passed and you don't seem to have changed much."
Looking at this unfamiliar Elson female warrior, Gallan was still thinking about how the messenger was replaced, but when he met the blue eyes that looked at him with a smile, the big blue eyes of a certain girl in his memory were there. It flashed through my mind.
"Are you... Emma?"
Garlan looked at the tall and valiant Elson female warrior below, and recalled the beautiful and cute little girl like a doll in his memory, and he was immediately stunned.
It's only been five years and everything has changed.
Children really grow up fast.
Garland couldn't help but sighed.
Hearing his name being called out by Garlan, it showed that the other party still remembered him, and the sapphire-like eyes of Queen Emma bent.
"I'm fifteen years old, and I've passed the trials of Elson's female warriors, and I'm officially an adult."
According to the customs of the Elson people, anyone who is fifteen years old can participate in the trials of Elson female warriors, and as long as they can successfully pass, they can be recognized as adults.
Unable to pass, only after the age of twenty-five can you get the status of an adult.
"According to Elson's practice, he must leave Elson to travel the continent for a period of time when he is an adult, so I took the initiative to ask my mother to come to Aaron Landis as the messenger this time."
"In addition to traveling across the continent, as the next Queen Elson, I still have an important task to complete."
"I had to give birth to the Queen Elson after me during this time."
Without any embarrassment, Princess Elson looked directly at Garlan.
She said simply: "King Garland, I hope you can be the father of my child!"
The princess' blunt speech made the whole room silent for a moment.
Garland felt a little confused.
"That... Emma, wait a second, um, ahem, you should have heard about the flower festival celebration before."
"Well, I've heard of it."
"Then you should also know that I said that the princess in my heart must have a beauty better than mine..."
"I don't want to be a princess."
The queen said simply.
As the next Queen Elson, how could she become the princess of another country.
She raised her head and looked at Garlan calmly.
"I just want a child of yours, and I don't plan to be your princess, so your request for the princess has nothing to do with me, does it?"
Garland: "..."
It made sense and he was speechless for a while.
