Among the harshest conditions of the North, among the most powerful armies of the North outside the Guard of King Aaron Landis, and even among the Geshuls, the sworn enemies of Aaron Landis, was called The young man known as the 'Black Knight of Hell' has been in trouble recently.
One who is favored by God.
Many people once sighed with admiration.
Heimos was born with an outstanding talent and a strong will that he had cultivated in the harsh living environment when he was young, coupled with his own incomprehensible efforts, he became a leader standing above everyone else.
You know, apart from the difficult period of struggling in the slums when he was young, Heimos has almost never encountered anything that can trouble him.
Even on the most sinister battlefield, he has always been that tough and tough flag-like existence.
Although he never showed it in front of people, perhaps because of his childhood experiences, Heimos has always been a cold-hearted self-centered person.
He never put other people's affairs in his eyes, let alone in his heart, and he never cared about other people's thoughts.
Therefore, very few people can make him emotionally fluctuated.
And at this moment, it was the very few, or should be said, the only teenager who could incite his emotions.
When Opada exposed the thoughts that had been buried for a long time, he also felt that it might just be because he attached too much importance and too close to Garland, which made Opada have an illusion.
However, after having such a dream that night, and even because of it, he confronted Garlan in his sleep..., he finally recognized the reality.
The dull-looking Tastian indeed saw through his own thoughts at a glance.
For a time, Heimos was a little confused.
All along, he regarded the child as something that no one could touch, not even himself.
It's like treating a fragile and beautiful treasure, he has always been careful to hold it in his hands, reluctant to let the child be hurt in the slightest.
Now, he had such a dream, which made him feel an indescribable sense of guilt.
…
Garlan and his party played all the way, stopping and going, and the speed of progress was very slow, and King Camos, who had been waiting anxiously in the royal city, finally couldn't hold back after sending a letter to urge Kaijos to no avail.
This time, he simply sent a thousand cavalry commander with the guards to pick him up.
Among the people he sent, Heimos, the priest and subordinate of the god of the night, also came with him.
Heimos pondered for a long time, and finally decided to discuss this troublesome issue with his confidant, who was still quite strict.
Because this subordinate of his has a lover who has been in love for six years and has rich experience in this kind of thing, so he must be able to give him good advice.
So, one evening, in the courtyard of the residence of a nobleman, Huymos started a conversation with his confidant subordinates.
"Suojia, I remember, you have a lover, don't you?"
As the god of the night, Suojia, who has always been cunning, was a little confused by his master's question at this moment.
Although he is still tall, his body is not strong, and he has no force value. However, as Prince Heimos's most cunning counselor, his position is unshakable.
And his greatest use is naturally to offer advice to his master and make various plans.
However, this was the first time in the years of being together that Soggar had heard a question about his private affairs from his master, who had always been indifferent to the private affairs of others.
And the question is such a hot topic, which makes him, who has always considered himself resourceful, bewildered for a while.
But as an excellent and loyal subordinate, he will never refuse any request from his master.
Therefore, Suojia reacted immediately after being stunned.
He bowed slightly, then answered Heimos's question.
"Yes, Your Highness, you must have seen her."
"Well, I've seen it."
Speaking of this matter, Heimos is also a little puzzled.
Suojia, a person with no force value, but his lover is a female knight who is not weak in force value.
"You love her very much?"
"Yes, Your Highness."
To this question of Heimos, Suojia answered very succinctly.
"She's the only love I've ever identified in my life."
He is a believer of the night god, and scheming and cunning are normal things for him.
But only for those he loves, he will not have the slightest deception.
After a long silence, Heimos didn't ask any more questions. He just sat there, silent, stroking the lapis lazuli earrings on his ears with his fingers.
Heimos didn't speak, and Suojia naturally couldn't speak.
He stood to one side, his mind spinning rapidly, thinking to himself why the prince asked him to say these words.
After a long time, Heimos spoke again.
"What does it feel like to love someone?"
He says,
"No... What was your reaction and feeling at the beginning that made you sure you fell in love with her?"
Suojia's heart froze for a moment.
He looked at Heimos' fingers caressing the lapis lazuli earrings, and he understood in an instant.
When he was in the Northland, many people speculated that the reason why Heimos was not interested in any women in the boring Northland was because there was a person he admired in the royal city.
And that lapis lazuli earring was a gift from the prince's admirer.
Now it seems that His Highness Heimos may have met that person again.
It's just that the prince, who has never been in a relationship, doesn't seem to understand his own feelings, so he asks himself who has a lover.
Thinking of this, Suojia began to answer cautiously and deliberately.
In order to avoid making mistakes, what he said is some general descriptions that can be seen in those love poems.
"Well... when you see her, you will be very happy, and you want to keep watching her and be with her all the time."
"When you get close to her, your heart beats for it. No matter what she says, it's the most beautiful sound in your ears."
"You will always think of her figure in your mind... Her smile is better than any beautiful scenery... Even if you are as noble as you, you will be willing to bow your head in front of her, just to pray for her pity... "
Just as Suojia said this, Heimos suddenly interjected.
"Like you, beat and scold?"
When Suojia got along with the female knight, he occasionally caught a glimpse of it.
Suojia, who was always arrogant and cunning in front of others, was too diligent in front of the female knight like a big dog wagging its tail.
And that female knight seemed to be a woman with a strong personality, who often acted when she disagreed.
Suojia: "..."
This is called fun, is it fun
Your Highness, how can a beautiful person like you who has never experienced a relationship understand the sweetness of flirting between lovers
Heimos shook his head.
"Suojia, don't perfunctory me, I know where the things you just said come from."
He said, "You just need me to answer me, what convinces you that you are in love with that female knight?"
Suojia paused for a moment.
He seemed to be meditating, and he seemed to be recalling a sweet memory from the past.
Then, he opened his mouth.
"His Royal Highness, I'm not quite sure, but..."
He says,
"The moment that figure enters your line of sight, no matter how far away, no matter how small a corner, at that moment, you can never see anything but that figure."
"At this point, you have completely fallen into it."
He went on talking.
"If that's the case, then you're probably..."
What else Suogar said, Huymos did not hear clearly.
Because at this moment, on the other side of the courtyard, Garlan's figure appeared at the end of the gravel path.
It was obviously far away from him, and it was almost only in a corner of his vision, but at the moment when the young man's figure appeared, everything else in his sight dissipated.
Even Suojia, who was in front of him, seemed to have disappeared.
[When he appears in your sight, everything in the world will fade in your eyes.]
[You will never see another.]
I see.
From the lapis lazuli earrings on his fingertips, which were so smooth that he stroked them, there was a bit of coolness that penetrated into his heart.
The golden red eyes deeply reflected the figure of the blond boy, as if to imprint it in the deepest part of the pupil.
"Your Highness, if you really can't confirm your mood, just think about it."
Suojia's voice rang in his ears again.
"You suppose, if that one falls in love with someone else, leaves you, and is with someone else... uh!"
The voice of the blue-clothed priest suddenly stopped in half.
Because at this moment, he felt some kind of frightening evil spirit emanating from his master suddenly.
A terrible breath that was almost overwhelming.
Don't think about it.
Soggar's understated sentence instantly made Heimos' heart beat violently.
Garland would leave him.
Go to someone other than him.
Just hearing Suojia say that, Heimos was almost unable to stop the killing intent that suddenly rose from the inside of his body.
Garland would go where he couldn't reach.
…
Don't think about it.
Nobody wants to do that.
Once the desire that burns from the deepest part of the body is ignited, it can no longer be stopped.
Getting bigger and hotter.
Burning his body, the blood in his whole body made him unable to stop the desire to hold him in his arms like a dream.
That's his.
He fixed his gaze on Garlan in the distance of the courtyard without blinking, and Heimos's glued gaze was like a chain around him at this moment.
That man belongs to him—
He thought so firmly, resolutely, even fiercely.
…
"If the person you like has a crush on you, and you don't know you like him, what should you do?"
Heimos did not hesitate to ask his dog-headed military advisor again... No, it was the confidant who asked.
Suojia felt a little hard.
He is a strategist, a strategist on the battlefield and in politics, but why is his master now asking him about love affairs
What is he? Do you have a part-time job as a priest in love under Aptomir, the goddess of love and beauty
However, no matter how much the priest of the night god slandered in his heart, he would still do his best to plan for Heimos.
After all, His Highness and him discussed such private feelings because of trusting him.
He didn't want to lose His Highness's trust in him because of this kind of thing.
Moreover, according to His Highness, the two of them were originally in love with each other, and it would be enough to tell the truth. It was very simple, as long as His Highness said a word...
No, no, no, that won't work.
Suojia's eyes rolled.
As His Highness's counselor, no matter what kind of matter, under any circumstance, he must seek the greatest benefit for His Highness.
The one who pours out his love first always has a slightly inferior position in the relationship.
Just like him and his lover, whoever falls in love first always loses.
Therefore, he has to find a way to let the person whom His Highness admires first confess his love to His Highness.
"Your Highness, this is very simple."
Sogar, who made up his mind, offered his suggestion.
"Since that person doesn't know your feelings, then you must give some hints to let that person feel that you are different and special to him, and let that person realize your feelings."
Known as the 'Black Knight of Hell', the black-haired prince who is invincible and powerful on the battlefield is completely blank in how to pursue his beloved. I am afraid he is not as good as those thirteen or fourteen years younger than him in the royal city. He started hooking up with the little girl's aristocratic children.
So, he calmly continued to ask.
"How to do it specifically?"
It took more than a year to catch the female knight, and the priest of the night god who had rich practical experience in this area began to unreservedly and confidently give advice to his highness.
…
Garland has been a little depressed these past two days.
For not knowing why, Heimos's attitude towards him suddenly became cold.
When walking in the past, Heimos was by his side unless necessary, but these two days he was the one who led the team.
They didn't eat with him anymore. In the past, their bedrooms were next to each other when they stayed at night. It seems that these two days are also deliberately separated.
At the end of the day, Garlan could not see the shadow of Heimos.
Even if he took the initiative to go to Heimos, he would let him leave first with the reason that he had something to deal with before he said a few words, and it seemed that he was not very willing to talk to him.
what happened
Garland thought in confusion.
Is Heimos angry
Did he do something the other day that made Heimos angry
It was still fine when we soaked in the hot spring together tomorrow.
He thought about it over and over again, and couldn't figure out how he had made Heimos angry.
Heimos was unwilling to pay attention to him, and this was the first time that had ever happened.
So the boy was depressed.
Even if he wants to take Nega to travel around the continent in the future, Aaron Landis still has to be his strong backing.
He has already made plans to let Heimos be his most solid backer.
With Heimos around, there shouldn't be many people who dare to provoke him, so that he can maximize his power... No, it's to maximize his own safety.
If Heimos had a falling out with him...
Moreover, more than that, Garlan still had a strange feeling in his heart.
From childhood to adulthood, Heimos has been very good to himself, and he is very indifferent to others, but he is extremely fond and indulgent to himself.
He was used to how special Heimos was to himself.
Now, this special suddenly disappeared... For some reason, Garlan felt that he was not used to it and felt a little uncomfortable.
In the evening, after finding a place to stay again, Garlan pondered for a long time, but did not understand where he had offended Heimos.
Simply, with a heartbeat, he went straight to find Heimos, wanting to ask straight to the point.
"…Are you angry?"
"I do not have."
Huymos answered lightly.
"But, you've been…"
"What's the matter?"
"… "
… ignore me.
Feeling that it would be embarrassing to say such a thing like a child with a tantrum, Garlan pursed his lips and did not speak.
He lowered his eyes, looking a little lonely.
Heimos looked at the young man in front of him, bowing his head slightly, the fine eyelashes drooped down, and a shallow shadow fell on his white cheeks.
The soft skin on her face makes you want to touch it.
And the lonely look on the boy's face made people feel a little distressed at first glance.
However, Heimos held back.
Sogar's ideas are really useful.
It had only been two days, and Garlan couldn't help but take the initiative to come to him.
Next, the second thing that should be done is…
"Sorry, Garlan, I avoided you for the past two days because I lied to you last time, so I don't know how to face you."
The boy with his head down suddenly raised his head, and his golden eyes stared at him wide.
"I lied to you that I didn't... Actually, I already have someone I like."
"real?"
Garlan's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Heimos's arm.
Waiting, waiting, waiting for so many years, and finally waiting for this day to come.
He couldn't help but be overjoyed for a while, thinking that Heimos is so strong, he must be strong in that respect, once he has a lover, then the child must be able to get things done in minutes - as long as he thinks of this, he is so excited All changed.
… the voice trembled a little.
It seems that Garlan is really nervous about having someone he likes.
Although Heimos looked at the boy who was staring straight at him, he felt a little distressed, but Suojia said.
It was necessary to do this, to stimulate Garlan with such words, in order to force his mind out.
Otherwise, this well-behaved boy might hide his thoughts for the rest of his life.
Moreover, he was inexplicably a little happy in the bottom of his heart for Garlan's fierce reaction.
So, it's time to move on to the third step.
"Actually, I have liked him very much since I was a child, but I don't know when this feeling became like this."
You can't say it outright, this will scare people, and maybe make the other party avoid it even more.
Sogar told him so.
Therefore, use plausible words and say it side-by-side, it is best to let the other party realize it by himself.
This will make the other party have the greatest surprise and emotion.
"I've been watching him since I was a child, we meet almost every day, we can talk every day... Maybe it's because I'm too close, so I can't feel my heart."
"Then, we were separated for four years, and four years later, he is still the most important person in my heart."
Heimos stared deeply at the boy in front of him, his voice was low and full of some special emotion.
He believed that it had come to such a point.
Garland will definitely understand the meaning of his words.
"When I met him again four years later, at that moment, I was completely fascinated by him..."
"I know that there is a huge barrier between us that will be invisible to many people. However, I have made up my mind that no matter what happens, I also want to keep him by my side - he must be there for the rest of his life. Stay with me."
The golden red eyes looked at Garlan without blinking, and there were many incomprehensible and even a little dangerous expressions in those eyes.
He said, "… Do you understand, Garland?"
"This, this... I... "
Garlan stared at Heimos with wide eyes and a look of disbelief on his face.
He was so surprised that he stammered a little.
"Could it be... is the person you like... is... "
The boy swallowed, as if he was choked, and made a very surprised sound.
"Tapti?!!"
Huymos: "..."
