After unceremoniously shouting at Heimos, Gallan stared at Heimos and drank the soup.
Although Heimos frowned, under Garland's gaze, he finally swallowed the medicine in one gulp.
After swallowing, the bitter taste in his mouth was probably exuding, he pursed his mouth tightly, and frowned even more.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
Garlan pointed to the honey biscuits brought by the maid.
Although Heimos frowned so bitterly, he still shook his head.
He really doesn't look like he's pretentious, he really doesn't even bother to glance at his old favorite sweet tooth.
Although Garlan thought it was a bit strange, but it was none of his business, so he didn't think much about it.
Thinking that this person is now a sick person, and it is not good for him to say anything hurtful, after saying hello to Heimos, he left first.
Heimos, who was sitting on the bed, took a sip of water to dilute the bitter taste in his mouth.
Everyone thinks that his taste is sweet, but he is not.
Sweet is not his taste, but because of that experience as a child, he has a strange obsession with sweet things.
It can even be said that for sweets, rather than saying that he likes to eat them, it is better to say that he has a dependence on sweets.
An intractable habit.
What he wanted was the feeling of that sweet taste spreading in his mouth, making him feel relaxed and soothed both physically and mentally.
He raised his eyes, his golden red eyes staring at the back of the leaving boy without blinking.
Although his cheeks were still flushed with fever, his eyes were extremely sharp at this moment.
He looked at Garlan with a look of longing, as well as the greed hidden deep in his eyes.
He had found the sweetest taste in the world for him.
It's not just in the mouth, the taste... The sweetness seems to penetrate his entire body and even his soul, it's an incomparably sweet taste.
So, sweets are no longer enough.
Far from enough.
From luxury to thrift is difficult.
Now, he is not interested in the sweetness that can only satisfy the desire of the tongue.
Heimos lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
…
Just when Garlan returned to his residence, in the royal court on the other side, King Camos was discussing here.
The atmosphere in the royal court was not very good.
Because at noon, they received an urgent summons, and there was a change in the state of Islam in the west.
Unlike Aaron Landis, which is spring-like in most areas, most of the land in the West is grassland and desert, of which the desert accounts for two-thirds of the country. Therefore, it is also called Yisi. For the country of the desert.
The Yis mainly live on animal husbandry such as horses and sheep, and live by water and pasture. Their living environment is much worse than that of Aaron Landis, which is rich in fertile soil and vegetation.
Therefore, when the Yithians suffered disasters, they would attack other countries and snatch food and living resources from other countries, and Aaron Landis, who was rich in grain, was one of their targets.
"Is was hit by a drought not long ago."
An old man with slightly gray hair said, "So this year they must be coming to grab food."
"But a little earlier than we estimated."
Another person spoke up.
"Although the time is advanced, we are almost ready here."
"Although the time is very short, the food and grass must be sufficient."
"Yes, three days... no, it can be in place in two days!"
After listening to the reports of the ministers, King Camos on the throne nodded.
He said: "Two days later, I will lead the army out."
Just as he finished speaking, Xie Muer who was standing on the other side suddenly stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, the Shrine of Shamash in Tozes City will be completed soon. If you are unable to go, please assign a king to go there."
As soon as Xie Muer said it, King Camos remembered it.
Last month, the consul of Tozes reported that the Shrine of Shamash was about to be completed.
At that time, he planned to go there himself.
In Aaronlandis, although there are a large number of gods, the state does not restrict the beliefs of the people, but among the gods, only the sun god Shamash and the god of night are regarded by the Aaronlandis people as Believed in the main god, served by the royal family.
Therefore, the temples of these two gods cannot be built privately, and an application must be made to the main temple of Shamash in the king city. After the high priest allows it, it can be built only after the approval of King Aaron Landis.
And when the temples of these two gods are completed, they must also report to the king. The king will either go to the completion ceremony in person, or he will assign his messenger to represent him.
King Camos pondered for a while, and quickly made a decision.
He raised his head and looked at Xie Muer.
"Go to Tozes by Garland on my behalf to participate in the inauguration ceremony of the Shamash Temple."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers and nobles were stunned, except for Xie Mu'er who bowed in response.
It’s fine to assign messengers, but if Gallan, who is a prince, represents King Aaronlandis at an important temple ceremony…
The meaning of this...
Everyone exchanged a deep look with each other.
After the council was over, King Camos summoned Gallan and told him about it.
Although Garlan was a little surprised when he was suddenly stuffed into a messenger, he naturally nodded and accepted.
Because the completion of the Shamash Temple was a few days later, the time was very short, and he had to set off on the second day.
So, when he went back in the evening, he was busy packing up.
After he was escorted out of the royal city by the 5,000 guards early the next morning, the busy Gallan suddenly remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to visit Heimos again before leaving.
… never mind.
Since Garlan has left the royal city, the guardian knight Kaihos will naturally follow him this time.
Garland also brought the little fat man Tal with him. At this moment, the little fat man was happily following him on horseback, looking very happy.
There was a long cry in the air, and Garlan looked up and saw a black shadow passing under the blue sky.
He rolled his eyes and smiled.
Well, of course, the big eagle Anu must also bring it.
After all, the eagle is also a symbol of the sun god Shamash, so it would be good to bring it to pretend to be something at the inauguration ceremony of the temple.
As Garlan galloped, he thought about the map he read last night.
Tozes is a seaside city in the southwest, the largest and most prosperous seaport in Aaron Landis.
The last time he went to Tastard, he went north, and now he went south.
…
Because they were all lightly armed, they rode on horseback, and the guards who escorted Garlan were all cavalry, so the group traveled very quickly.
After a few days, they reached the port city of Tozes.
After escorting Prince Gallan to Tozes, the 5,000 guards left without stopping. The war between Aaron Landis and Iss is about to break out. King Camos has already set off, and they have to rush to the battlefield on the western front as soon as possible.
The safety of the prince was naturally guarded by the Aaron Landis army stationed in Tozes, and Kaijos and nearly a hundred of his personal guards also stayed here.
The consul of Tozes came out to welcome the arrival of Prince Gallan, and he was very respectful towards Gallan.
Not to mention that Gallan is now the first in line to the throne, and his current identity is still the representative of King Camos.
It can be said that to disrespect Garlan is to disrespect His Majesty.
The Archon of Tozes naturally did not dare to neglect.
That night, the consul held a small banquet to welcome Garlan's arrival.
Not many people were invited to this banquet. Apart from Gallan and his party, and the consul, there were only two or three strangers.
Because it is not a formal banquet, the venue layout is more inclined to style and casualness.
A thick orange-red felt blanket was spread on the ground, covered with food and wine, translucent tulle fluttered softly between the columns, and white round cushions were placed around the orange-red felt blanket.
Everyone sat on the cushions, around the square orange blanket, and sat on the ground.
Behind everyone knelt two young and beautiful maids, serving them.
Garlan naturally sits in the main seat, Kaijos and Tarr sit on his left side, and the consul of Tozes sits on Garlan's right side.
He smiled and introduced the people sitting beside him to Garlan.
These very gorgeously dressed middle-aged men are rich local businessmen in Tozes City, and each of them owns a large fleet for maritime trade.
Garland nodded slightly.
One of the slightly chubby middle-aged men looked at him with a smile, a little earnestness in his eyes.
After toasting Garlan with a glass of wine, the man suddenly turned around and beckoned.
A crisp bell rang.
Garlan followed the reputation and saw the small bell on a slender wrist.
Her jet-black hair was twisted up, revealing her swan-like neck.
Two strands of black hair fell from his cheeks, ending on his high chest.
A young girl came here, the pure golden accessories on her chest and arms lined her honey-colored skin, and her small face was covered with a layer of gauze, which was almost transparent, no different from not covered, but covered. It gave the girl a bit of an alluring vibe.
You can see the slender waist that is almost naked under the transparent tulle, and a fiery red gemstone is embedded on the edge of the small navel, adding a touch of style.
The middle-aged wealthy businessman greeted her.
"Hurry up and salute the prince."
The beautiful girl answered obediently, knelt down and saluted Garland.
The middle-aged man turned his head with a smile and said to Garlan, "His Royal Highness, this is my daughter, who just turned eighteen not long ago."
Not knowing what this man did to introduce his daughter to himself, Garlan was a little baffled.
But since the man introduced him, he gave him a polite smile, nodded, and didn't say anything.
Garlan didn't say anything, the man still eagerly came over.
"How do you feel about the little girl?"
How did your daughter ask me why
Garlan muttered impatiently in the bottom of his heart.
But on the surface, he continued to maintain an embarrassed and polite smile.
"You have a beautiful daughter."
He answered politely.
Then, he reached out and picked up the glass of honey water with ice cubes held by the maid behind him, and took a sip.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up slightly, leaned forward, and got closer to Garlan.
"Then, Your Royal Highness, look—"
He smiled and said, "Does my daughter have the honor of being your concubine to serve you?"
puff!
Garlan spit out a mouthful of honey water.
For a while, he was so choked that he couldn't speak.
