In the room, King Camos stood by the window, holding a piece of parchment in one hand, and casually grabbed the black-red cloak wrapped around the front with the other and threw it back.
A maid immediately stepped forward, knelt down at his feet, carefully unfolded the slightly wrinkled cloak under his feet, gently smoothed the wrinkles with her fingers, and then stood up and stepped aside after finishing. .
Xie Muer held a book-sized cyan stone plate in both hands, which contained red paint, and the circular seal of lapis lazuli was placed beside it. King Camos picked up the lapis lazuli seal and placed it on the parchment in his hand.
After he had stamped the seal, the middle-aged knight who stood in front of him with his head bowed and reported to him respectfully also ended his report.
The two-finger-sized lion badge on the knight's chest symbolized his identity as the Thousand Knights Commander. He was the Thousand Knights Commander who took a group of knights from the Guards and followed Heimos to Menister City yesterday.
Just now, he reported to his king in detail everything he had seen.
After dealing with political affairs and listening to his subordinate's report on yesterday's situation, King Camos, who was standing by the window, smiled.
"It's alright," he said. "It's not bad to be able to maintain a dash of sanity in that situation."
The new city lord of Menister City, Camos is somewhat familiar with it.
He nodded to Heimos' approach.
That little guy is really smart and cunning.
His actions seemed reckless, but he just stepped on the bottom limit of the city lord Earl. It happened that Earl could barely hold back, but he had reached the limit, and he was on the verge of breaking out after one more point.
Camos sent his own guards, and even let a thousand cavalry leader to follow Heimos. , but also to prevent Heimos from being swept away by anger and hatred, and doing something out of control-let the Thousand Knights go over, just to stop him before that.
You must know that Earl is still the lord of Menister City after all. He is a high-ranking noble of the royal family. His own power is not small, and there are tens of thousands of private troops under his command.
Don't say that there is no evidence for this, even if there is evidence, because it didn't cause a big accident, it's just that a prince was injured a little, and in the end, it can only be a small punishment and a big admonishment, it is impossible to really do anything to him.
"Terra."
He called out a person's name, "Go and arrange for someone to warn Earl, it's his business to do what he wants to do in the city of Menister, but if I put my claws in the royal city again, I'll be welcome. "
A shadow suddenly appeared in the corner of the empty room. The figure knelt on one knee, nodded to King Camos, and then disappeared again.
Those things that happened in Meneste City were internal affairs of the Heimos family, and Camos did not intend to intervene.
This time, the reason why he took advantage of Heimos was just because Earl's hands were too long and he injured his little brother. Camos gave Earl a lesson.
At the same time, he also warned Earl not to put his claws into his sphere of influence in the future.
In this way, coupled with the threat of Heimos, Earl and his son will surely stay in Menester City for a long time.
As for the grudge between Heimos and him...
"The affairs of his family will be handled by himself when he grows up."
King Camos said so.
Heimos is a man who will pay revenge, and he will not let go of the uncle who wants to kill him again and again.
It's just that this young wolf hasn't grown up yet, and its teeth and claws are not sharp enough, so it can only lurch and wait for the day when its wings are full...
It is conceivable that when Heimos grows up, it will be the end of the Lord of Earl. Moreover, the Lord of Earl may just be a whetstone on the road of this wolf king's growth.
Perhaps this is the reason why the Lord of Earl is anxious to kill Heimos again and again. I am afraid he can also see that this nephew of his will definitely become his most terrible enemy in the future.
"Where is Prince Heimos now? Have you gone back to rest?"
Now that King Camos has made a decision, Xie Muer didn't say more, but turned his head and asked the thousand cavalry captain.
I haven't slept for two days and three nights, and I have been running all the way. I must be too tired to hold it now.
"No." The middle-aged Thousand Knights replied, "After he went back to clean up, he went straight to Prince Garlan's residence."
…
…
The courtyard, which was crowded a few days ago, is now quiet. Most of the people have been driven out. Only two or three maids are still walking in the courtyard. They all whisper into each other's ears. He talked in a low voice, walked and did things as lightly as possible, for fear of making too much noise and disturbing the little prince who had finally fallen asleep in the room.
A burst of soft music came from the room, it was a very pleasant and soft melody, and the plucked string sound was like the ding-dong sound of falling water from a fountain.
By the window of the house, a handsome blond knight sat there, wearing a simple white short robe, black trousers, and a black waistband tied around his waist. He was holding a half-human-high two-string lute in his arms. It was hemispherical, the sound hole was beautifully carved, and the top of the long handle was slightly bent into a leaf-like shape, making it slender and elegant.
A bunch of blond hair fell from Kaijos's shoulders, his slender fingers plucked softly on the strings, making silver bell-like notes softly reverberate in the room.
The female official put an incense block into the hollowed-out gold incense burner and lit it, so that the room was surrounded by a soft, sleep-promoting light fragrance. Then, she raised her hand and made a slight gesture to the one-eyed knight, and Cayhoes slowed down the tune, then stopped slowly.
He gently put the lute down and stepped forward.
The little prince had already fallen asleep with the soft sound of the piano and the faint fragrance, still lying on his stomach, with half of his small face sunk into the soft pillow.
The soft blond hair was scattered on the snow-white pillow. Because of the fever, the little face was slightly red, and there were still some small water marks on the slender eyelashes.
At this moment, the child closed his eyes and made an even breathing sound.
Kaihos took a look and then withdrew with the female officer.
After all, the burn has been making Prince Gallan unbearable pain and difficulty sleeping. Especially in the first two days, Kaihos had to use the special drug that he made himself, which made Gallan drowsy.
But that kind of drug can't be used too much, otherwise it will cause harm to the body, so today Kaihos wants to use the soothing music to make Garlan fall asleep.
Thinking of how the little prince looked at him obediently with his big misty eyes, listened to him play the piano, and then slowly closed his eyes, Cayhors only felt his heart soften.
He reproached himself quite a bit, and if he hadn't left that night, the little prince would not have suffered the same.
As a guardian knight, he failed to protect the prince, and he was very annoyed when he thought about it.
"Tapti, what did the doctor say in the morning?"
he asked.
Closing the door lightly, the female officer with long flaxen hair turned around and answered Kaihos softly.
"The situation has stabilized a lot, the wound is not inflamed, and the recovery is not bad. However, the pain is still inevitable... "
"I made a sleep-inducing incense, hoping it would work somewhat," she said.
The female official, Tapti, has an outstanding fragrance technique that is recognized in the royal palace. However, the incense blocks she made by herself were only used by King Camos before. Whether other people can get it or not depends on her mood.
At this moment, she looked at Kaihos and praised: "I didn't know, you still have such a superb piano skill, and you play great music."
"Thank you for your compliment, it's just a little trick. Because it will be more popular with beauties, so I went to learn it at the beginning."
The knight's answer made the slightly rising favor of the female officer disappear instantly.
Ah, what a shallow and frivolous fellow.
Why did King Camos make such a person the guardian knight of Prince Gallan
I don't know if I will bring the innocent little prince bad in the future.
She thought so in her heart, bowed slightly, and then turned to see if the maids had prepared the medicine. However, before he had time to leave, he heard the voice of the knight beside him.
Kaijos said, "Good afternoon, Prince Heimos."
Tapti looked up and saw that Heimos was entering the courtyard from the gate.
The young prince's clothes were clean, but his hair was messy, with a little water droplets dripping from the ends of his hair. It could be seen that he had hurriedly showered and changed into clean clothes, and his hair had been splashed with water before he had time to wipe it off.
The dark brown skin glowed with a moist luster under the light, and the most striking thing was his eyes, the eye sockets were black and blue, probably because he hadn't slept for a long time, and the tips of his hair were deep there. Deep shadows fell in his eye sockets.
As soon as he saw the female officer and the knight here, he walked over quickly.
"How is Garland?"
he asked in a low voice.
Tapti bowed slightly, then replied, "The doctor said the situation is fairly stable."
Without waiting for Heimos to continue to ask questions, she continued: "Prince Gallan just fell asleep. Because of the pain of the wound, he has not fallen asleep for a long time."
The female official used a very euphemistic tone, but mercilessly dismissed any request that Heimos might make next.
To be honest, she was somewhat resentful of the young man who had hurt her lovely little prince.
Before he had time to say anything, the female officer's euphemistic and tough words were choked in his throat. Heimos opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything. He glanced at the hidden door, and lowered his eyes, the shadow of his eyelashes fell in his pupils, making his eyes look a little dark.
The thin lips, being squeezed so hard by him, became thinner and thinner like a line.
Kaihos suddenly said: "Prince Heimos, when His Royal Highness Garland ordered you not to get close to him, I was still very puzzled. But now I may understand."
"Perhaps His Highness has a premonition that you will bring disaster to him, and obviously I also think so, you will bring trouble to His Highness."
He said, "So, please stay away from His Highness and don't approach him."
Heimos was a little worried about gains and losses. He stood there hesitantly, pursed his lips and did not speak. Now that Kaijos said this, he raised his eyes to look at Kaijos, and the corners of his eyes raised a sharp arc.
At this moment, he seemed to have changed back to the powerful boy who dared to tie his cousin to the ground, and who could confront his uncle, the city master, without showing weakness. His golden red eyes seemed to be burning with the sun. flame.
"No one can drive me away from Garland."
He stared at the knight who was trying to drive him away with pressing eyes, and said in a deep voice.
Then, he turned his head to look at Taputy.
"I've taken a shower, and my body is clean and free of dust. I want to go in and see Garland." His words became tougher, "I won't wake him up."
Feeling the sudden toughness of Heimos, Tapti sighed softly in his heart, and then moved away. She watched Heimos enter the house, and the door was opened and then closed again.
She said, "Lord Cayhorth, did you do this on purpose, using aggressive tactics?"
"Well..."
The one-eyed knight smiled and did not answer directly.
He said: "It would be a waste to let him run away like this. Since the little prince was injured for his injury, he must pay a price, um, isn't it?"
Tapti said nothing, turned around and left quickly.
I really can't get along with this frivolous guy.
The female officer thought so in her heart.
…
After entering the room, Heimos kept his movements as light as possible.
The child was lying on the bed, in a light sleep, maybe a little movement would wake the child up.
There was a chair at the head of the bed, which should have been placed by the female officer in order to take care of Garlan while sitting beside the bed, so Heimos sat down directly on the chair.
He looked at Garlan in a light sleep.
The child closed his eyes, and his long, fan-like eyelashes cast light shadows on his cheeks. The corners of his eyes were still a little red, and it was obvious that the pain had been shedding tears.
Heimos's eyes fell on Garlan's back, one on the back of his neck, two on his back, and one on his calf. The snow-white skin was covered with cyan medicinal mud, and he did not know the medicinal mud. Here's what a horrific injury that will leave a scar...
As he thought about it, he stared blankly at Garlan.
That little body was lying on the bed, and it looked unusually weak, and it made people feel very worried when they looked at it.
He remembered that day, the almost cruel language when Garlan said 'I hate you, I don't need you', and the back figure who left him without hesitation.
He remembered again that that night, Garland rushed up to knock him away from the brazier... The figure of the child hit by the coals knelt on the ground, shaking with pain.
He was a little confused and didn't understand.
It is said that children are fickle, but what exactly is Gallan to him...
Just when Heimos was in a daze, the eyelashes of the child on the bed moved slightly and opened his eyes.
Garlan, who turned his head sideways, looked at the boy beside the bed and parted his lips.
"Hey...mo..."
The faint voice instantly awakened Heimos, and he leaned over nervously and looked at Garlan.
"Are you awake?" he said softly, as if he was worried that a little louder would hurt the weak child in front of him. "Does it hurt? Do you want to drink water? I'm going to call a doctor?"
The child seemed to be still in a state of being awake and not awake, looking at him dimly.
After a long while, he said something softly.
"hand… "
"Um?"
"… your hands."
The teenager followed the child's hazy eyes and saw his right hand.
He was a little puzzled, but he followed Garlan's words and put his right hand in front of Garlan's eyes.
The child's golden eyes were half-open, and he looked confused. The hand he placed beside the pillow moved slightly and moved over, and the small hand gently grabbed a finger of Heimos.
The little hand gently held the boy's finger and touched it again, as if confirming something.
Then, Garlan's eyes curled up like the curvature of a crescent moon.
The child with a little red tears in the corners of his eyes laughed, and the smile was sweet and very cute, so sweet that it seemed to penetrate into the bottom of people's hearts.
He seemed to be relieved and relieved. He held Heimos's fingers like this, closed his eyes, and fell asleep again.
Heimos didn't speak again, didn't move.
He looked at Garland's hand.
The soft little hand gently held his fingers, but he felt that the hand was holding his heart.
…
"Kaijos, has Heimos come?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, he is inside."
There was a soft conversation at the door, and then the door was pushed open, and someone walked in.
King Camos, who entered the door, glanced at him and was stunned for a moment.
He turned his head and looked at Kaijos, who was also stunned, and then the two tall and burly men couldn't help showing a knowing smile.
Little Garland was lying on the bed, sleeping peacefully.
Heimos, who was sitting on the chair, was lying on the edge of the bed, and also slept soundly.
The child's small, soft hand held the boy's slightly rough fingers.
