Although it is not an official government affairs hall, it is just a room for temporarily handling government affairs on weekdays, but the area is also very wide, even if it accommodates dozens of people, it will not feel crowded.
But at this moment, this spacious government room is terribly quiet.
The shocking scene in front of them completely stopped everyone's minds.
Except for the two people who knew it, everyone else felt like sleepwalking.
dream
Well, they must be dreaming.
Ah, what a strange dream, how could they have dreamed of King Garlan and the Lord Heimos...
Then, there was a muffled thud.
The heavy golden scepter slammed heavily on the bluestone slab, the sound of the impact was deafening, and all the sluggish people were woken up at once.
Everyone looked in disbelief, looking up at the scene on the high platform that almost shattered their three views, but they couldn't say a word for a long while with their mouths open.
Novi, who had already rushed up to the high platform with a single stride, looked a little overwhelmed. After a while, he kept the rushing posture and stepped back step by step.
After he retreated under the high platform, he pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and stared at his feet. Qingjun's face seemed expressionless, but the tips of his ears hidden in the fluffy hair were clearly a little red.
Awakened by the loud bang of the scepter falling, and Heimos, who was suddenly kissed.
Obviously at the moment before, when he leaned towards Garlan, there was a dangerous aura around him.
But when Garlan grabbed his chin, dragged his face down and kissed his lips, he was completely stunned.
He opened his eyes, his pupils shrunk violently into thin pinholes.
The man's dazed and ignorant look at the moment seems to give people a kind of dull and cute feeling.
After the kiss, Garlan couldn't help laughing when he looked at the appearance of Heimos that he had never seen before.
He did this on purpose without saying hello to Heimos. He just wanted to see Heimos look shocked.
And what he saw made Garland very satisfied.
Well, it can be used as a joke for him for a long time in the future.
And just when Garlan laughed, Heimos, who was awakened by the sound of the scepter hitting the ground, came back to his senses.
Looking at the curved golden eyes and the smiling eyes looking at him, his eyes that had been empty a second ago suddenly became deep, and then he narrowed and stared fiercely at Garlan.
you wait for me.
Heimos, who was sternly swung by Garlan, conveyed such a meaning with his eyes that looked fierce.
However, the eyes that should have been used to intimidate the other party didn't do anything. Gallan looked up at him, his bright golden eyes blinked gently and innocently, and he saw that Heimos was again. Funny, my heart softened.
His chest, which was originally sore and unbearable as if it was corroded by venom, was filled with a sudden warm current, which easily calmed his anxiety and unease.
The feeling of warmth and swelling filled his body, and his heart seemed to be wrapped by the softest thing in the world, making him seem to be assimilated, and the whole person became softer.
Heimos lowered his head and kissed Garlan's lips lightly back.
The man's golden red eyes softly seemed to melt at this moment.
Perhaps at this time, except for the person in front of him, everything is no longer important.
"prince!"
A loud shout broke the silence in the room.
At this moment, the high priest of Shamash could no longer care about the scepter that he had always cherished so much, and stepped forward quickly.
His face was ashen.
Even, he who has always abide by the etiquette actually called out the incorrect title of 'Prince' out of control. It is conceivable to imagine how angry he is now out of control.
Xie Muer, whose face was ashen, had just walked under the high platform, when he was stopped by Kaihos who was standing there.
"Step aside!"
"... Your Excellency Xie Mu'er, I can understand your mood."
Kaihos is actually a little helpless.
He really understands Xi Muer's current mood.
When he knew about this, he was definitely not much better than the current Xie Muer.
If it weren't for the accident in the King City of Kanal, and knowing His Majesty's thoughts, he would never allow that guy to approach his next step.
However, since His Majesty has made a decision, for His Majesty, he can only guard His Majesty's decision.
"But please calm down now."
Insist on stopping in front of Shemuer, said Kaihos.
"Otherwise, in your current state, I will not allow you to approach Your Majesty."
His eyes stared directly at Xie Muer, his eyes were sharp, like a warning.
"Also, please don't forget that it's not 'Prince', it's 'Your Majesty'."
The last sentence of Kaihos finally made the high priest who almost ran away barely regained a little sanity.
Xie Muer took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and tried to calm down his almost out of control emotions.
Then, he raised his head and looked at Garlan deeply.
"Your Majesty... are you serious?"
On the throne, the young king looked at him.
"Yes." Garlan said, "Ximuel, I can't tell such a lie."
The anger that filled his heart suddenly weakened a lot when he met Garlan's gaze.
Perhaps it was because the pair of golden eyes that did not evade him were looking at him too calmly.
…
It has always been so.
The eyes of this child he grew up watching have always been so bright, and always looked at him so bluntly at all times.
There was even a hint of hope in his eyes.
Xie Muer understood what the glimmer of hope in Gallan's eyes meant.
Perhaps it was because he grew up with him as a mentor when he was a child, so even if he sat on the throne and became the supreme king, Gallan always respected himself.
He sees himself as a teacher.
… is not the case with myself.
He accompanied that little child to grow up little by little, just like his own child.
Even if he has grown up, even if he has become a king, in Xie Muer's heart, Garlan is still the young child who needed his care and company.
He is his pride, his most precious treasure, an existence as important as his faith in Shamash.
He wanted to accompany him and guard him until the last moment.
He seemed to be strict with him.
Everyone said he was impersonal.
But only Xie Muer himself knew that as long as he was in front of Garlan, he would always subconsciously soften his heart.
Especially when Garlan looked at him with those eyes.
Looking at Gallan like that, the anger in the high priest's eyes gradually dissipated and turned into complicated emotions.
"Your Majesty..."
Countless complicated and troubled feelings can only be turned into these two words after all.
Watching Garland grow up, Xie Muer naturally knew Garland.
He must have made up his mind to make a public announcement like this now.
Prince... No, Your Majesty is serious.
He seriously wanted to tell everyone his true intentions, instead of covering it up with the ridiculous lies at the Hanoi Festival banquet.
Even if this is something that will cause uproar, cause a lot of discussion, and even be criticized by countless people.
He was willing to do this for Heimos...
Thinking of this, I don't know why, instead of being angry, there was another kind of indescribable sour emotion in Xie Mu'er's heart at the moment.
This strange sour mood made him sullen and didn't want to speak.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Sage finally came back to his senses. He looked at Garland and then at Heimos, stammering when he spoke.
"You and Lord Heimos are both male, it seems... it seems..."
He says,
"Please think carefully again. If you are unable to continue the heir, and there is no successor to the throne, it is likely to cause turmoil in Aaron Landis and cause unrest among the people."
"Sage, when Brother Camos was there, he had no princess, nor any heirs. But the throne was not unstable because of this, and no people were disturbed by it."
"That's because of you, so..."
"But I'm not the son of the king, nor am I related by blood."
Sitting on the throne, Garlan looked at his knight order leader calmly.
He asked, "In your opinion, do I qualify as king of Aaron Landis?"
Sage's expression froze.
"Your Majesty, your achievements as king are praised by all."
He answered solemnly.
Under the leadership of King Gallan, in just a few years, Aaron Landis has reached an unprecedented peak, and its territory has doubled.
The people of Aaron Landis lived comfortably and contentedly.
The people of Aaron Landis thanked and praised the young king from the bottom of their hearts.
Even those old-fashioned aristocratic families that were declining because they were deprived of their privileges by King Gallan did not dare to slander them.
"Yes, even if there is no blood relationship, you can still inherit the throne and become an excellent king."
Garland said,
"So even if I can't have children in the future, I can choose an excellent royal collateral descendant like Brother Camos, nurture him into a talent, and let him inherit the throne. This will also ensure the stable alternation of the throne, isn't it? "
"… "
The choked Sage thought about it for a long time, but he didn't know how to refute it.
Not only Sage, but also several other ministers who wanted to oppose Gallan's practice also instantly silenced.
Because if they say that the unrelated heir is not orthodox, it is tantamount to questioning the legitimacy of King Gallan's succession.
Everyone who is here at this moment is a die-hard supporter of King Garlan.
Of course no one would say such stupid things.
After looking at each other for a while, the oldest of them, the old minister who had gone through four dynasties, You Sixiang opened his mouth.
"Your Majesty, even if you put aside the issue of heirs, you must know that in the hearts of the people, you have a high status, and they believe in you as if they believed in a god."
You Sixiang was able to survive the four dynasties and stood firm in the chaos, relying on his slick sophistication.
Even at this time, he did not forget to praise King Garlan first.
The old man stood tremblingly and coughed a few times before continuing.
"To the people, you are a just and wise king, like the incarnation of the sun god Shamash."
He said earnestly,
"It can be said that so far, you have been perfect in their eyes, but now..."
It's good to stop the words as soon as possible, and the Minister of Right said halfway through, he shut his mouth and didn't speak any more.
But even if he only said half of it, everyone present could understand what he meant.
Garland naturally understood.
He looked at You Sixiang and suddenly smiled.
"Yes, as you said, the world praises me as the King of Justice."
He says,
"But if I can't even treat my loved ones justly, what qualifications do I have to continue to be named in the name of justice?"
The words 'beloved' came out, and the expressions of the people below were different.
You Sixiang was speechless for a while.
Standing next to Garlan, Heimos looked at Garlan's eyes like the brilliance of thousands of stars at this moment.
The blond knight below gave the guy a displeased glance, and snorted softly.
The high priest, on the other hand, had a stinky face and did not lift his eyes.
"King Garland."
Aside, Zuo Sixiang, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"No matter what the reason is, it's a fact that you and Lord Heimos are the same male. Our country is different from the Tasda country. Only men and women are normal. You are like this... I really can't agree with you."
Without any excuse or reason, Zuo Sixiang's words were straightforward and to the point.
"You should know that it is impossible for the people of Aaron Landis to agree with you and Lord Heimos."
The atmosphere was solemn for a moment, but it was broken by Garlan's smile.
"Agree?"
He says,
"Zuo Sixiang, I think you may have made a mistake."
In Zuo Sixiang's stunned eyes, the smile on Garlan's face faded a little.
He stared at Zuo Sixiang with sharp eyes.
"It's good for you, and the people in your mouth are all my people."
"What I did, never needed your approval."
From the throne, the young king looked down upon his people.
"Aaron Landis, my kingdom."
"You are my people."
"I am proclaiming to you, not for you to agree."
King Garland sits on the throne.
The young face, not a tall body, and a calm voice, but inexplicably brought a huge sense of coercion.
The place his eyes swept over made everyone's chest tighten, and they all bowed.
They bowed their heads deeply, in the direction of the throne.
Even Zuo Sixiang is the same.
In the whole room, only the voice of the young king echoed in it.
"After the festival of the gods in three days is over, I will announce it to the world."
The voice was understated.
However, it was like broken gold and cracked stones, and the sound was loud.
"It's my decision."
Everyone bowed their heads deeply, and no one refuted.
That was the king of Aaron Landis.
No one can go against his will.
