After a good night's sleep, the light of dawn emerged from the horizon, dyeing the city with a golden glow.
The sun slanted into the room from the skylight and fell on the little brown hairballs.
The little milk lion was lying on the round futon cushion in the corner of the room, and the fluffy little head held by its two claws moved, and then slowly lifted from its claws.
With a sleepy look, a few tufts of hairs stand up on his head, looking cute and cute, very cute.
After a while, it seemed to wake up, first scratching the dull hair standing on its head with its paws, and then licking its own paws with its pink tongue.
The front legs are kicked, the hind legs are arched, its mouth is open, its small body is stretched long, and it stretches.
Then, the little milk lion jumped down energetically, and in this room it was all too familiar with, it jumped on the big bed with three jumps.
"Ow~~~"
It groaned happily, eagerly wanting to rush over and lick the sleeping boy up.
But as soon as he looked up, his round eyes met a pair of golden red eyes.
The man who always robbed him so he didn't like it appeared at some point, and was sitting on the bed at the moment.
The blond boy fell asleep and was hugged by the man.
The man's knuckled fingers gently stroked the soft blonde hair in his arms.
"Ow!"
The original happy cry suddenly changed its tone.
Nega yelled angrily at Heimos.
It's a pity that it thinks it is a scream full of shocking power, and what others hear is only a milky whimper.
"Shh."
Heimos covered the ears of the sleeping Garlan with one hand, and made a quiet gesture to Nega with the other hand.
He has slept for a long time, so he probably doesn't need sleep in a short period of time, but Gallan is different. He only closed his eyes in the early morning and hasn't slept for long.
"Don't wake Garlan."
He lowered his voice and said to the little milk lion who was screaming.
As if he understood what Heimos said, Nega stopped wailing, looked at Garlan, who was soundly asleep, and sat down on the sheet angrily.
It seemed that he planned to sit here and wait for Garlan to wake up.
Turning its head arrogantly, it no longer looked at Heimos, but just stared at the sleeping Garlan.
"Looks like you still recognize me... I didn't expect you to follow me."
In fact, when he saw the sleeping little milk lion in the corner of the room, Heimos vaguely guessed something.
After all, he knew that 2,000 years ago, after Gallan died, Nega was immediately buried with him.
Looking at what it looked like at the moment, Heimos poked its fluffy forehead with his fingers.
"What a follower."
He said that he couldn't help but flicked the little milk lion's forehead again.
Yes, Heimos did it on purpose.
Because he was a little upset.
It's okay for Kamos, after all, he needs to bring Garlan back, but I didn't expect this little guy to see Garlan two thousand years later than himself.
Nega, who enjoys being rubbed by Garlan without getting angry and enjoying herself, is not polite to others, especially Heimos.
As soon as Heimos flicked its forehead, it immediately opened its mouth and bit the finger that dared to poke the king of beasts on the forehead.
It's a pity that it is only a little milk lion that is not yet full moon. It has just started to grow teeth, and the teeth are not sharp enough to bite Heimos's cocooned fingers.
The little lion groaned angrily, spit out Heimos's fingers, and arched his head into Garland's arms, his butt was facing Heimos, and he didn't move anymore.
…
Early in the morning, Kejos, wondering if the prince could get used to it, entered the palace.
Although he has disappeared in Aaron Landis for ten years, many people are about to forget his existence, and the guards do not know him, but with the lapis lazuli token specially given to him by the emperor, he went from entering the palace to All the way to the palace of Garland was unobstructed.
He had changed out of the black combat uniform of the outside world, and put on the uniform of the generals of the Aaron Landis.
The armor on the body is made of a special metal that is extremely hard but light in weight, and it glows with the unique silver-black luster of metal in the sun.
A silver long sword is worn on the waist.
Aaron Landis also has hot weapons.
Although there are some differences from the development direction of external civilization, Aaron Landis has also developed a special energy gun that uses the Shamash Stone as energy.
It's a little more difficult to handle than an outside bullet gun, but it's better.
Therefore, for Kaihos, who has been trained to use energy guns proficiently since he was a child, various types of guns in the outside world are very simple.
And the reason why Kaihos only wears the long sword now is because only cold weapons can be used in the royal city of Aaron Landis.
Two hundred years ago, the then-reigning emperor was shot to death, in full view of the people, and it was impossible to save him.
In order to prevent similar things from happening again, the Aaron Landis spent decades developing a new function of the Shamash Stone based on the repulsive properties of the Shamash Stone within a certain range.
From then on, as long as this forbidden force field is turned on, no hot weapon can be used in the royal city.
Turning a corner and walking along the stone road, the prince's palace is not far ahead.
Immediately afterwards, Kaihos found a group of guards gathered near the palace, looking quite nervous, and someone was running quickly outside.
A glance at the corpse among the crowd, Kaihos raised his eyebrows, walked over quickly, and showed the token.
"What happened to these two corpses?"
There were two icy corpses lying on the ground, one of them was almost naked, with only the close-fitting underwear left, and the coat was missing.
"They were the guards who were in charge of patrolling this area in the second half of the night last night. When they handed over this morning, they found that the two had not returned to their shifts. After searching around, they found his body under the wall at the back corner."
The squad leader in charge of leading the team of guards answered after salute.
"I have already sent someone to report this matter, and I will wait for the adults who can be in charge of this matter to come over..."
Before he could finish speaking, Kaihos, who was staring at the corpse, didn't know what to think, and suddenly his eyes narrowed.
As soon as he turned around, he rushed straight to the palace.
Dozens of maids were standing in the courtyard waiting, and they were not allowed to enter without the call of the prince in the room.
Amid the screams of the maids, Kaihos broke in directly.
With a bang, the sharp sword on his waist was unsheathed.
…
In the room, little Nega, who originally wanted to wait for Gallan to wake up, slammed into Gallan's arms, but fell asleep unconsciously again.
Then it was picked up by Heimos and thrown aside.
Speaking of which, I forgot to tell Garlan one thing.
Heimus thought while continuing to stroke the soft blonde hair in his hands.
Last night, when he came over...
Suddenly, the tip of his ear moved, and he could clearly hear the exclamations coming from outside and the footsteps rushing in.
Heimos frowned and gently put the boy in his arms down.
He jumped out of bed and walked towards the door, pressing his hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist as he walked.
At the moment when the room was opened, a sword light struck heavily, like lightning, and it was even more heavy.
Heimos raised his hand.
The long sword he drew in an instant was raised high, holding up the opponent's ferocious blow.
Under the impact of the blade, sparks splattered.
The familiar face illuminated by the sparks made Heimos' eyes flicker.
He, who originally wanted to slash the opponent's throat with a sword, turned into a backhand and knocked Kaihos away from him.
But in the next second, Kaihos immediately chased after him again.
One sword after another, the moves are extremely fierce.
Just as the two were fighting fiercely, a group of guards poured into the room and surrounded Garlan in the room.
Seeing that the prince was protected by the guards, Kaihos breathed a sigh of relief.
He raised his hand and knocked away the man in front of him, who was stronger than he thought, and raised his long sword to point at him.
"Who are you? What do you want to do by sneaking into the prince's room!"
he asked sharply.
His eyes fell on Kaihos, and his eyes became sharper.
"Did you kill the dead guard outside?"
This strange and powerful man was wearing the clothes of the guards in the palace, I am afraid it was taken from the dead guard.
Surrounded by the influx of guards, Heimos glanced at Kaihos lightly.
He wasn't surprised that Kehoes didn't know him.
When a person dies, the soul passes through the hands of the goddess of the underworld, and the memory of that life will be taken away.
Therefore, the reincarnated person will not have the memory of the previous life.
It is precisely because of this that he does not want to see Gallan again in the form of reincarnation, and he does not want to lose all memories related to Gallan.
"If one of the corpses was unclothed, I killed it."
Huymos replied, understatement.
When he left the underground palace and came to Garlan's palace, he saw two guards sneaking around in the corner of the palace wall, not knowing what to do.
Hearing their conversation from a distance, although some of the words were incomprehensible, he understood that they and the master behind them wanted to be detrimental to Garlan.
So he took action very simply, killed the two guards, and used one of them's clothes to replace his rotten clothes.
Kaihos's eyes sank.
He drank: "Grab it—"
"Kaijos!"
The boy's anxious shout came from behind, interrupting him.
Garlan was sleeping soundly, but the sound of the blade crashing suddenly woke him up from his slumber.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he was shocked to find that he was surrounded by a team of guards.
He looked up again and looked over the guards in front of him, and he saw Heimos who was surrounded by another team of guards, and was pointed at by Kaijos who came in at an unknown time.
uh, bad.
He originally thought that this morning, he asked Heimos not to go out first, and let someone invite Brother Camos over.
As long as the king opens his mouth and gives Heimos an identity, there will be no problem.
Unexpectedly, because he slept too late last night, he didn't wake up in time. I don't know how Kaihos noticed the abnormality, rushed in directly, and collided with Heimos.
Seeing that Kaihos was about to make another move, Garlan quickly stopped him.
"Wait a minute, Cayhorth, this man is my friend!"
Kaihos frowned.
"Prince, I remember all the people who have been in contact with you in the past ten years, but I don't remember that you have this 'friend'."
Garland: "..."
Forget that Kaihos had been stalking him for ten years, and he knew all about the people around him.
Just as Garlan's mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about what reason to find, a tall and strong figure walked in quickly from the outside and appeared in front of everyone.
Camos came over in a hurry. As soon as he entered the room and looked up to see the familiar black figure, his eyes suddenly widened.
He stared at Heimos stubbornly, without regaining his senses for a long time, the expression in his eyes changed violently, showing his violently shaking mood at the moment.
Seeing that His Majesty's gaze was fixed on the man, Kaihos said.
"Your Majesty, this person killed the guards and trespassed in the prince's palace. I don't know who ordered him. He must be arrested and severely tortured."
Seeing his brother rushing over at a critical moment, Garlan was relieved.
Well, he doesn't need to think hard about excuses. As long as Brother Wang says that Heimos is the personal guard he sent to him, he can solve this matter.
Just when Garlan felt relieved, there was a sudden burst of laughter in the tense room.
In the eyes of everyone's astonishment, Camos suddenly laughed.
He smiled happily and proudly.
He waved his hand decisively and said, "That's right! Cayhors, catch him for me!"
Garland: "..."
Brother Wang, please don't make trouble!
The author has something to say: Brother Wang: No matter what, grab it first and beat it up.
