That evening's dinner ended in an eerie atmosphere.
When the banquet was over, when Opada saw the young man who made his heart get up at a glance, he subconsciously got up and wanted to follow.
However, as soon as he stood up, the figure of the young man in his sight was blocked by a tall figure, so that he could only see the blond hair scattered behind the young man.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the 'black knight' prince who was blocking his vision, raised the hand holding his sapphire, waved him gently, and his golden red eyes glanced at him At a glance, with an obvious threat in his eyes.
The step that the Tasda man was about to take suddenly stopped.
Watching the boy's figure disappear in front of his eyes, Opada gritted his teeth with hatred.
他发誓，如果不是要赠与爱恋之人的重要宝石在那个家伙手中, 哪怕对方是亚伦兰狄斯的王子, 他也要以较量为名毫不客气地将那个混蛋狠狠揍一顿！
While thinking aggrievedly, he turned dejectedly and left with his companions.
As everyone knows, the interactions between Heimos and Opada were all watched by Gallan, who was secretly peeking.
It's over.
Seems to be really in love with each other.
Garland thought dumbfounded.
He saw it all, the two of them couldn't wait to flirt with each other as soon as the banquet broke up, this is really...
Garland, who was greatly impacted, drifted back like sleepwalking along the way, completely unaware that after Heimos had told the female officer Tapti to look after him, he did not go back with him, but turned to Karan. Walk towards the palace of King Moss.
When the guards in front of the gate of the king's bedroom went to report to Camos King Heimos to see him, Heimos stood at the door, looking down at the gem in his hand, frowning tightly.
As soon as he remembered the scorching eyes of the Tasdar man staring at Garlan at the banquet just now, he had the urge to crush the sapphire. However, the composure he had developed over the years kept him sane, just clenching his fists slightly.
"Prince Heimos, the king invites you in."
The returning guard said so while bowing his head to salute him.
Heimos nodded to it, then strode in.
When Heimos walked quickly into the interior of King Camos' bedroom, it was no surprise that he heard King Camos' laughter as soon as he reached the inner door.
The laughter was also accompanied by the sound of slaps on the table. Obviously, King Camos, who had a serious face at the banquet, was holding back a lot, and when he returned to the bedroom, he laughed wildly, and he didn't know. Whether it has been laughing until now, or is it because of Heimos' visit that he laughed again.
Anyway, when Heimos walked in, he saw King Camos sitting on the reclining chair, laughing without image. When he saw him coming in, not only did he not restrain himself, but he laughed even louder. .
The brown curly-haired priest stood beside him, bowing his head to clean up a few parchment scrolls that had been reviewed. His face was expressionless. He obviously knew the virtue of King Camos and was too lazy to answer. Anyway, for Xi Muer, as long as King Camos doesn't lose his decency in front of the friendly nations, he is too lazy to care about it in private.
However, when Heimos came in, he glanced at him with a subtle look in his eyes.
I don't know what it was like for Prince Heimos to be courted in public by a man.
Xi Muer thought so in his heart.
"Heimos, aren't you going to meet the Tastian who is so in love with you so late? It's quiet at night, but it's a good time to talk privately."
King Camos said bluntly that for this guy who always robbed him of his little brother's attention, he was always happy to see this guy unlucky.
"Perhaps you came so late to ask me to marry you?"
King Camos gave a long hum.
"That one is also the successor of General Tasda, and his identity is not bad..."
Before King Camos finished his joking words, Huymos stepped forward and interrupted Camos.
"Add more people near the palace, keep an eye on the Tusda man named Opada, and don't let him move freely in the palace."
During the banquet, he asked his subordinates to inquire about the details of the Tasda man.
"This is not very good. After all, he is the next General Tasda, and Tasda is our friendly diplomatic country..."
He picked up the malachite wine glass and took a slow sip, and the words of King Camos, who wanted to watch a good show, were interrupted again.
"That man named Opada doesn't know me at all."
Huymos said simply.
"But in the afternoon, he met Garlan there at the martial arts training ground."
Xie Muer, who had lowered his head to clean up the documents, paused for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Heimos.
"what do you mean… "
"Yes, I came here with Garlan just now, but he was one step behind me."
That's enough for Heimos.
Both Camos and Xie Muer are sharp-eyed people. They all saw Opada's actions at that time, but they didn't think much about it. At this moment, when Heimos said this, they immediately reacted.
The object of the Tastian courtship was not Heimos, but Garlan.
Click.
Although the smile was still frozen on his face, the malachite wine glass in King Camos' hand had already shattered with a click.
The next second, the furious Lion King had already slapped the table.
"Bring me my sword!"
The Lion King, with his moustache open, widened his eyes angrily.
That bastard Tasdar dared to spy on his little brother—his knife—
"Please calm down, Your Majesty."
Xie Mu'er calmly persuaded.
Then, he turned his head and instructed the captain of the guard who followed the sound.
"Increase the guards at the palace and tell them that when the Tasda people go out, they must be accompanied by guards (prison) and (view)."
"Also, the security force at Prince Garlan's palace has tripled. If there is a suspicious person in the vicinity, you don't need to report it if you catch him, so you can beat him first."
The priest of Shamash said, "As long as you don't kill him."
Chief Guard: "...Yes."
…
…
Not to mention the reaction of the people over there, here, Garlan, who returned to his own bedroom, was very heartbroken.
He stayed in the palace and guarded Heimos, waiting for Heimos to marry and have children, so that he could be freed and run to the mainland.
Year after year, Heimos just didn't take a wife.
He had to squat in the palace year after year.
This time, after being separated for four years, he was extremely hopeful that Heimos would bring a beauty back from the border, and it would be best if he could bring a baby directly back to the royal city.
However, he was again disappointed.
Now he knows that no matter how much he waits, he can't wait for Heimos to get married and have children... Because Heimos likes men!
Garland felt heartbroken.
He had a sense of grief that he had done useless work for so many years.
He lay in bed thinking about it, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
Depressed so badly, he simply rolled over and sat up, looking at the crescent moon in the sky for a long time.
Then, with a sullen heart, he secretly climbed out of the window and out of the house, and skillfully climbed over the wall and left the palace.
And not long after he sneaked out, several teams of guards rushed over and guarded around his bedroom, surrounded by airtight.
When Garlan climbed over the wall and entered Heimos' premises, he saw the familiar figure in the courtyard at a glance.
In the quiet courtyard, only Heimos stood alone.
The long sword in his hand slashed heavily into the air, one stroke, another stroke, constantly repeating the extremely tiresome basic skills training. He did every stroke meticulously without the slightest impatience.
The soft moonlight fell on the young body, allowing one to clearly see the taut muscles on the young man's shoulders and arms, the sweat-soaked clothes clinging to him, and the sweat-soaked translucent clothes were faintly visible. Under that honey-colored skin, there are also traces of firm muscles with well-defined lines.
Sweat splashed in the air with the tips of the wet black forehead hair and disappeared into the night.
Probably because he sensed Garlan's arrival, Heimos stopped and looked sideways at the blond boy who came in over the wall, showing a smile.
Under the moonlight, the handsome young man stood in the dark night, with a long body, slender limbs, wide shoulders and narrow waist, well-textured muscles and smooth lines, and a few drops of sweat slipped from the tight honey-colored skin, showing a little seductive under the moonlight. luster.
… is indeed a handsome man.
No wonder the Tastian courted him in public.
Garland couldn't help but think.
Moreover, the Tasda people admire the strong, and Heimos is so strong, of course...
Just when Garlan was thinking about it, Heimos had already walked to the fountain in the courtyard, put his head and his entire upper body in, and let the cold spring water wash his sweaty body.
Then, he took the towel placed beside him, wiped it at will, threw the long sword in his hand on the stone table, and walked towards Garlan with a glass of water on the table.
"Why are you running here so late?"
asked Heimos.
Because he sweated a lot just now, he was a little thirsty at the moment. As he spoke, he raised his head and poured the glass of water into his mouth.
Garlan stared at him, his heart was stunned, and he asked directly: "Heimos, do you like men?"
puff!
On the side of his head, all the water he had just poured into his mouth spurted out at once.
Heimos, who choked on water for the first time, coughed violently, his face flushed because he choked so badly.
While coughing intermittently, he looked up at Garlan in astonishment.
"You… what did you say?"
He was so startled by Garlan's words that he stuttered.
"You don't have to hide from me."
Garlan looked at him and said seriously, "I saw it all, you took the gem that the Tasda man gave you."
He said, "I know that in the custom of the Tasda people, accepting a gem means agreeing to that person's courtship and agreeing to become his lover."
The corners of Heimos's mouth twitched.
Does taking that gem have that meaning
Who the hell knows what the fucking courtship customs of that damned Tasda man.
It's you that guy spied on.
I took the gem so that he wouldn't come to you.
Looking at the ignorant and innocent face of the boy standing in front of him and looking up at him, as well as the clear eyes looking at him without knowing anything, Heimos would not Say the above words.
He doesn't allow anyone to defile this person, not even a little bit.
Heimos took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
His eyes met Garlan's with a calm gaze.
"Garlan, I don't like that Tastian."
He answered solemnly.
"The reason why I accepted the gem first is because I don't think it's good to make trouble on that occasion. Tasda is an important ally of our country, so, considering the diplomatic relations between the two countries, I can't let him lose face in front of everyone, because he is a An important person in Tasda, in order not to affect the relationship between the two countries, I have to save his face."
Heimos's mind was spinning rapidly, and he continued to speak while looking at Garlan seriously.
"I didn't know that accepting a gem was accepting his courtship, and if I had known, I would never have done that."
Garlan looked at him and blinked with a little doubt in his eyes.
"Is that so? You don't know?" he asked. "You don't… don't like him?"
"Yes."
Heimos replied with a stronger voice.
"I don't have any good feelings for that person."
The last sentence is absolutely true.
He didn't like the Tasdar at all.
As long as he thought of that guy's eyes that lit up when he saw Garlan, it felt like a fire was burning in his chest.
How dare that guy have such a dirty mind towards Gallan...
Thinking of this, the evil spirit in his heart swirled, and there was a dangerous aura in his eyes.
He guarded this small bud and grew up a little bit, and finally grew into a green sapling.
How can you allow others to pry.
Heimos thought so and looked down.
Garlan, who was standing in front of him, looked up at him, his eyes like starlight.
The moonlight was like water, and the young man with fine blond hair scattered on his fair shoulders was so beautiful that people couldn't take his eyes off him.
And Heimos knew better.
When the young man in front of him laughed, it was as if all the beauty in the world was in his smile.
Inexplicably, Heimos suddenly understood why the guy named Opada would do such a thing.
He thought in a trance.
If it were him, no matter how many men and women were given him to choose, he would choose...
…
and many more.
Heimos shuddered violently.
What was he thinking about
How could he say something to understand... the idea of that sleazy guy
Inexplicably a little guilty, or with a bit of embarrassment, Heimos suddenly raised his hand and pressed half of his face.
Flicking his eyes, he quickly averted his gaze that was fixedly watching Garlan.
hateful.
Must be pissed off by that guy.
He pursed his lips as he thought about it, and his face was cloudy for a while.
But his demeanor and inexplicable behavior made Garlan, who had been watching him, misunderstood again.
Garlan looked at Heimos's not-so-good face, hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"You don't have to be so patient."
He stretched out a hand, placed it on Heimos's arm, and patted him lightly, comforting him.
"Although between men... um, I think it's a bit strange, but I don't think about it too much... eh, it's actually nothing."
"So, Heimos, if you really like that person, I'll help you, so, um, that, don't worry, there's nothing you can do if you like it... The other person is actually a man... No... "
The corners of Heimos' mouth twitched again by Garlan's efforts to 'comfort'.
He let out a long breath, a little helpless.
Then, he stretched out his hands, clasped Garlan's shoulders tightly, leaned over slightly, and looked at Garlan.
"Garlan, I'm not a Tasdar, I don't have that habit."
In any case, he didn't want Garlan to continue to drag him and the Tasda man together, Heimos said, staring at Garlan.
In order to completely avoid future troubles, he simply said harsh words directly.
"In Shamash's name, I swear."
Heimos said,
"Even if I die, I won't like men."
