Although His Majesty the Emperor tried to get back his beloved collection, and although Heimos tried to get the crystal bracelet he didn't quite understand but wanted, both requests were met by the current owner of the bracelet. rejected.
Garlan resolutely took the crystal bracelet as his own.
joke! How can these black histories be seen by others
He had seen it all, and there were images of him secretly shedding tears as a child, accidentally walking and falling, and shoving bread in his mouth in a hurry.
That guy, Cayhors, even recorded the video of him wearing a student uniform for the first time in middle school, being too sleepy in class, secretly dozing off on his stomach and then being reprimanded by the teacher, and even going to the restaurant to work in a uniform.
Wait until you have time to settle accounts with Kaihos!
His Royal Highness took this note so heavily in his heart.
And Kaihos, who is busy checking the two guards outside at the moment, is still unknown.
It has been delayed all morning, because there are still political affairs to be dealt with, so His Majesty the Emperor who has been taken away from his beloved can only leave first with great grievance.
Of course, before leaving, he told Tapti to take care of Garlan.
Looking at the back of Camos leaving, Tapti's face was slightly colder.
She already knew what happened yesterday when His Majesty and the prince returned to Aaron Landis. His Majesty might not feel anything, but she saw it.
Someone deliberately targeted His Royal Highness while she was away.
In her original arrangement, considering that the prince grew up among the commoners, he might not be used to being served, so she deliberately did not arrange too many people to greet him.
At the same time, it was also instructed not to have too many people swarming up, just let two people come forward.
Because the prince was still young and had little experience, he would definitely feel nervous and uncomfortable when suddenly surrounded by so many people.
But the behavior of those maids yesterday... It was like someone deliberately led them to surround them, trying to make the prince feel cramped and even make a fool of himself through this unexpected behavior.
There was even a maid who deliberately mentioned the prince's commoner background in front of everyone. She said it nicely because she was worried that the prince would not be able to adapt to it. The subtext was to tell everyone that the prince could not be on the table.
All this, obviously someone is behind the instructions.
He wanted to take advantage of the fact that the prince just came back and was not used to it. He wanted to secretly suppress and calmly force him into chaos, so that others would form an impression that this prince was not good enough.
Remember, once the initial impression is formed, it is not easy to change it.
Tapti thought deeply, then turned his head to look at Garlan.
However, to her surprise, the prince did not fall into this trap.
Whether in demeanor or otherwise, he showed no sign of stage fright.
The prince behaved as if he had lived in this environment since he was a child, and his aura was not inferior to His Majesty the Emperor at all.
Tapti frowned slightly, full of puzzlement in his heart.
Obviously, he grew up watching this prince, but now, there are a lot of mysteries about the prince.
For example, a sudden coma for more than half a month.
For example, the hair color turns golden during the coma.
For example, after waking up, compared with the childish teenager before, there is a big change in his demeanor and aura.
and also…
It is said that when the prince returned to Aaron Landis, the storm and thunderclouds over the Guardian Sea automatically opened a road, as if to welcome him such a miraculous thing.
…
[Aaron Landis, the stars of the earth, the kingdom of the gods.]
[After thousands of years, the son of the gods will return to this immortal kingdom.]
Suddenly, the high priestess suddenly remembered the prophecy recorded in the ancient gods.
The oracle that has been passed down for thousands of years.
Tapti turned back and met those golden pupils.
The young man looked at him, those golden eyes were like the sun in the clear sky at the moment, so clean that no shadow or dust could be seen.
He smiled at her, his smile as bright as his eyes.
The countless doubts in his heart gradually dissipated, and Tapti's eyes softened as he looked at the boy.
Even though there are too many mysteries in this prince, no matter what, he is indeed the child she has grown up with.
Since ten years ago, she has been with His Majesty, watching this child grow up and become an adult little by little, until he returns to Aaron Landis.
Happy for his growth, sad for the hardships he suffered, just like watching his own children.
"Prince, although Your Majesty has done such a thing, please don't be angry with Your Majesty."
Although she rudely slapped Camos when she first met Garland, but now looking back, she explained to Camos with a smile.
"Since the first time I learned of your existence ten years ago, Your Majesty has been very happy."
"He wants to see you very much, but in order not to put you in danger, he can only endure it all the time."
"He can't participate in your growth, so he can only watch the video sent by Kaihos like this, watching you grow up, he just wants to accompany you to grow up in this way."
The high priestess looked at Garlan tenderly.
She said, "Prince, please believe that Your Majesty loves you more than anyone else."
Looking at Tapti, Garlan laughed.
"I know."
He says.
"However, Tapti..."
"Yes?"
"Are you sure that Brother Wang only has one bracelet? Didn't he hide the others?"
"… I'm sure."
"Oh, all right."
"… "
…
…
Night fell on the earth again.
Garlan touched the sleeping baby lion in his arms and put it on the cushion in the corner of the room.
Since we met again, Niega has been very attached to him, going with him wherever he goes.
As long as he stood still, Nerga stuck to his ankle.
During the noon meal, some maids came over and wanted to bring it back to the Lion Park to eat, but it refused to be taken away by others, ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, and stared pitifully at Garlan. Looking at Gallan makes people feel soft.
So, Garlan let it stay in his room.
After tossing for a day, now it can be regarded as falling asleep.
Today, the matter of Heimos was tossed all morning. In the afternoon, Tapti, the chief priestess, stayed in the palace and gave him a general introduction to the current situation of Aaron Landis, and detailed it. Teach him all kinds of things to watch out for.
When Tapti taught him, Heimos kept leaning against the wall with his arms folded and his eyes lowered, but Garlan knew that he must have heard everything Tapti said.
After all, the world two thousand years later is an extremely unfamiliar world to Heimos.
However, although Brother Camos temporarily let Heimos go in the morning, he still did not let him go so easily.
Just after dinner, Camos sent someone to call Heimos to the training ground, and said that if his body became rigid and lost his previous ability, he would be disqualified as a personal guard.
Well, I don't know who will win the battle between the prince and Heimos now.
When his brother was alive, Heimos was superior to his brother.
But the current Heimos is the evolved version of Heimos the Great. For more than 30 years in the north and south, the force value has reached the maximum value, and he will not necessarily lose to the king.
So, in the end...
Although he was extremely curious about the outcome of this battle, the chief priestess' emergency make-up class had not yet ended, and he could only continue to stay in the room and continue to teach in misery.
During the period, Kaijos came back and reported something to Taputy.
Garland guessed that when he came back, he was secretly poked and stood up, and then he was spied on the news of these things.
It seems that his arrival has harmed the interests of some people.
Garland thought to himself.
However, in the minds of these two now, they are still ignorant and harmless to humans and animals, like a little white rabbit who needs to be carefully cared for.
Therefore, the dialogue between them is to avoid their own.
Um.
Two thousand years ago, the wise king, who was known as the fair and wise man with Shamash and the wisdom of Solga, said that this kind of treatment he had not enjoyed for a long time made him feel very strange.
… but it's not a bad feeling.
Anyway, now there is the prince in front of him, the head priestess and others in the back, and Aaron Landis is unprecedentedly peaceful. Gallan thinks that he just needs to be a carefree prince who doesn't understand anything.
After all, he doesn't even need to take the exam now~~~
Well, there's nothing wrong with just being a protected silly white sweet like this.
Speaking of which, is his dream of traveling around the continent of Aaron Landis, which he did not realize two thousand years ago, realized this time
Although it seems to take one more person.
After thinking about it for a long time, the 'Sweet Silly' Prince looked at the time and felt a little depressed.
Heimos was called to teach him a lesson by brother Camos... No, it was sparring, yes, sparring for an hour or two.
Seeing that the sky was already dark, after Tapti left, he soaked in the hot spring for a long time and played with Nega for a long time, and he began to feel sleepy, but Heimos hadn't been released yet.
He kept yawning.
He didn't get enough sleep last night. He sat on the bed for a while, but in the end he didn't survive the drowsy attack. He fell on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
Not long after Garlan slept, the door was pushed open, and a tall figure walked in in the darkness.
Heimos, who was forced by Kamos to 'play with him' for more than an hour, came back after taking a bath because he was sweating a lot. At this moment, water droplets fell from his dark hair. , There are also shallow water marks on the cheeks that are slowly sliding down.
As soon as he entered the door, his eyes fell on Garlan lying on the bed.
The boy was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed. The room was very quiet, hardly a sound could be heard.
The soft light shone on the boy's face, and the drooping fine eyelashes cast light-colored shadows on the white cheeks.
Pfft!
Heimos's heart suddenly beat violently, almost bursting out of his chest.
His face changed instantly, and he stepped over in three steps, grabbed the sleeping Garlan, and shook it forcefully, almost in a panic.
"Gallan!"
he shouted.
His voice was so hoarse that it felt like grit rubbing against his throat.
Garlan, who was suddenly woken up by someone who had just fallen asleep, opened his eyes and met those golden red pupils. Heimos stared at him, his eyes red and blood soaked. It's almost like bleeding.
It's startling to look at.
Those eyes that were almost cornered, maybe as long as Garlan opened his eyes a second later, the whole thing would collapse, shattered into pieces, and couldn't be put together again.
Gallan, who met those eyes, was stunned for a moment.
After Garlan opened his eyes, the blood-stained eyes only improved a little, but he still stared at Garlan.
As if he was afraid that in the blink of an eye, Garlan would close his eyes again, as if he had fallen asleep two thousand years ago and would never wake up again.
Garlan could feel the trembling of the hands that Heimos held onto his shoulders.
The fingers on his shoulders trembled violently.
Heimos looked at Garlan for a while, let out a breath, and then leaned over and hugged Garlan tightly.
He closed his eyes and pressed his face against Garlan's cheek, feeling the warmth of the skin he touched.
When he saw the boy with his eyes closed, his body almost frozen in blood eagerly absorbed the warmth from the body in his arms.
is warm.
he thinks.
The people in his arms are still warm.
He said this to himself repeatedly, but he still couldn't control the trembling of his fingers.
His heart seemed to stop beating again at that moment.
In front of this person, he was always vulnerable.
Being hugged tightly by Heimos, Gallan raised his head, his eyes blinked slightly, holding back a bit of grief oozing out of the corners of his eyes.
He thought for a while, took a deep breath, and then patted Heimos on the back, signaling him to let go.
He got out of bed and took Heimos's hand.
"follow me."
Garland said.
Heimos was a little dazed, but he subconsciously followed Garlan who was holding him.
Garland led Heimos through the window, over the fence from behind, and sneaked out of the palace.
He avoided the night guards all the way, relying on the memory of the day before, he took Heimos to the large platform that extended out to the upper level of the palace.
The golden spaceship stopped on the platform, bathed in the silver-like moonlight, reflecting a fine sheen.
It stayed silent, as if waiting for the arrival of its owner.
Garland went up first.
He stood on the boat and held out his hand to Heimos.
"Come up."
Heimos, who thought it was a little strange to see this ship made of pure gold and embellished with gems, was parked on the floating platform, looked at Garland, held Garland's outstretched hand, jumped gently, and jumped on the Spaceship, standing beside Garland.
Garlan touched the golden bracelet with the Shamash stone embedded in his hand.
The ship shook.
Heimos, who didn't know what was going on, almost reflexively stretched out his hand and embraced Garlan, protecting him tightly.
Garlan rolled his eyes, leaning against Heimos's arms and smiling.
Immediately afterwards, in the astonished eyes of Heimos, the golden spaceship slowly floated up from the platform and flew towards the night sky.
…
The night was silent.
The night sky is vast.
Countless morning stars shone in the night, like a river formed by the gathering of stars, spanning the entire sky, dazzling.
The golden spaceship was slowly flying in the night sky, and below it, there was an endless land.
The golden wings were bathed in starlight, shining with magnificent brilliance, as if they were glowing.
A huge city surrounded by several rings spreads out on the ground, and the water of the Enki River flows in it, rushing to the end and falling into the sea.
Garlan stood on the bow, looking down at the ground beneath his feet.
The night wind blew, causing his golden hair to sway endlessly in the dark night.
After a while, he turned around and smiled at the man behind him.
"Does it look good?"
he asks.
Heimos quietly watched the smile of the boy in the night.
His eyes softened, and the blood in the bottom of his eyes gradually became lighter. Perhaps the pupils were dyed with a light golden luster because of the starlight reflected by the spaceship.
He nodded.
"nice."
he said, the corners of his mouth raised.
Then, he stepped forward and stood in front of Garlan.
The distance between the two of them is so close, as long as they bow their heads, their hair will be intertwined.
"Gallan."
Heimos cried softly.
After waiting for more than two thousand years, I finally waited for the beloved. But there was always a trace of unease deep in his heart.
Looking at the young man in front of him, he always felt unreal.
He eagerly wanted to confirm the truth in front of him, to confirm that this person really belonged to him.
Holding Garlan's shoulders, Heimos stared at Garlan with deep and eager eyes, and wanted to speak.
"I… "
At the beginning, Garlan suddenly raised his hand.
"you shut up!"
The young man shouted decisively.
Huymos: "..."
The romantic atmosphere that was still in the starry night sky a second ago was shattered by Garlan's shut-up, and he could no longer stick to it.
But the boy who broke such a good atmosphere didn't notice it, and continued to talk to himself.
"I think you probably have a curse on you, a curse that will definitely fail if you only ask for love."
Garlan stared at Heimos and said seriously,
"If you speak now, maybe the spacecraft will malfunction and fall, or there will be sudden lightning and thunder and strong winds, or even a meteorite may fall from the sky and hit us."
Huymos: "..."
"So, I think you should shut up and say nothing."
Garlan's words made Heimos pursed his lips.
He didn't speak, just looked at Garlan like this, with a hint of accusation in his eyes, looking very aggrieved.
Obviously every time I fail because you reject me.
He spoke with such dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Seeing Heimos staring at him accusingly, Garlan smiled.
He smiled and stretched out his hands, cupping Heimos' cheeks.
"In order not to fail, this time, for me," he said.
Looking at the stunned appearance of Heimos, the golden eyes of the talking boy curled up, filled with a smile.
It's so shiny.
Even the brilliance of the thousands of stars around him cannot compare to its brightness.
"Heimos."
Garlan softly called out the name of the man in front of him who had been rejected countless times but still stubbornly chased after him.
A man who was so persistent that he could never give up.
"follow me."
"accompany me."
"You will be the most important thing in my life."
"From now on, share everything with me for the rest of your life."
Heimos' pupils seemed to tremble slightly at this moment, and something surged violently in his eyes.
Garlan stared at those golden-red eyes that seemed to be surging with the most fiery red lava in the world.
He opened his mouth, low words like an oath.
"Heimos."
"I will love you until..."
The young man stood on tiptoe, raised his head, and placed his kiss on the other's lips.
He said, "...until the moment your and my souls dissipate in this world."
…
The night was silent, and the golden spaceship was still flying slowly in the night sky.
Only the starlight from the sky fell on the golden spaceship, and also fell on the two people who hugged each other deeply and kissed each other as if they were one body, covering them with a layer of shimmering light.
…
[I swear.]
[As long as you and my soul still exist in this world, I will always love you.]
