The sun shone through the open window into the room, illuminating the spacious bedroom.
Sitting on the bed, the blond-haired little Prince stretched out his hand obediently and showed it to the doctor sitting by the bed. The elderly physician, whose hair was already graying, held the Prince’s hand and carefully looked at the scar on his wrist. Then, he turned his head again, looked at the Prince’s ankle in deep concentration, and nodded slightly.
When he looked up, he saw the little Prince sitting on the bed, with his big golden eyes staring at him with expectation.
The cute little appearance made the old doctor laugh. If he wasn’t the noble Prince, he couldn’t have restrained himself and touched the child’s head.
He liked the little Prince deep in his heart. He was well-behaved, obedient, and sensible.
He was the best doctor in the City of Vernal. When the children of the noble officials got sick, they would always look for him. The children were afraid of taking medicine and it took a lot of effort to get them to finish it. There was even someone who was so spoiled that they rudley pointed at him and yelled at him to have him killed him.
When he hurried over that day and was secretly reminded that it was the Prince of Aaron Landis, and he sighed thinking that he was going to suffer again. The Prince was much more honorable than those noble children. If he accidentally hurted him, he might really be dragged down and be jailed. How could his old arms and legs withstandood it?
However, as soon as he entered the door, the old doctor was taken aback. The child’s injuries were serious, and the cuts on his hands and feet were deep. If he wasn’t careful, the wounds, especially the shallow one on his neck wouldn’t stop bleeding.
He didn’t know who would be so cruel and murderous against such a small child.
Seeing such a serious injury, the doctor’s heart was overwhelmed, and he couldn’t even speculate further. He hurriedly and carefully cleaned up the wound, disinfected it, then tried to stop the bleeding and covered it with bandages.
After he finished a round of cleansing, he wiped his sweat, and then realised that he had been tossing for so long, especially when cleaning and disinfecting. Such a deep wound would make one be in pain, and he was afraid that even an adult wouldn’t be able to bear it. But the little Prince, let alone quarrel, seemed to be just snorting a few times from start to end?
As soon as he looked up, he saw the pale face of the little Prince, and there was cold sweat on his forehead. It was obviously painful, but he obediently sat still, and the hand that reached him didn’t shrink away. He could see tooth marks left on the soft lips when the cleaning and bandaging became toothat were painful for the boy.ly bitten by him.
There was still a little mist in the big golden eyes, so that the old doctor’s heart ached for him.
At that time, there was a tall man with brown hair panicking around, getting in the way and was scolded by the old doctor. So, he was kicked out and could only squat by the door and wait obediently. The other young man stared at the little Prince without blinking and had been standing beside him quietly. From time to time he even helped and passed things to the old doctor. Thus, the old doctor didn’t drive him out.
Thinking of this, the old doctor smiled gently when he looked at the child whose face had changed back to a healthy ruddy color.
“Prince, your injuriesy areis much better.”
Regarding the look in Garlan’s expectant eyes, he deliberately paused for a while, and drew his eagerness before continuing.
“You can get out of bed and move around a little bit…but not too vigorously, understand?”
As soon as the old doctor finished speaking, Garlan’s eyes lit up.
He hummed happily, and then couldn’t wait to get out of bed.
Only God knew that after a few days of returning to Vernal City and laying on the bed for a few days, although he could not get moldy in the sun, he felt that if he continued to lie down, his limbs would be paralysed.
He got out of bed and happily walked back and forth in the room several times, like a lively little squirrel that just woke up from hibernation that began to wander back and forth.
The old doctor looked at him with a smile and was escorted away.
It didn’t take long for an attendant to come in and bow his head to Garlan in a salute.
He said, “Your Royal Highness Garlan, the King has asked me to take you over to see him.”
“Brother King? I understand.”
Led by the young attendant, Garlan crossed the promenade, and there was a suspended stone bridge between the tall building in the center of the government affairs hall and the tall building on the side.
As he walked across the suspended stone bridge, Garlan looked down, just to see the mountain of corpses on the banks of the Vernal River outside the city, and his heart suddenly thumped.
He had almost forgotten!
He originally planned to tell Brother King as soon as possible, but was interrupted by the refugee riot, he couldn’tdidn’t think of it for a while.
No, he had to find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, if this continueds, the city may soon facebe thean outbreak of an epidemic.
But, what reason should I use to persuade Brother King?
The current medical standards in this world wereare far from being able to understand such things such as bacterial infections.
Garlan wondered, while following the attendant, and soon arrived atin the government office where King Camos was staying.
There were several knights standing next to King Camos. All of them hung a two-finger-wide lion badge on their chests, with a simple brass luster, symbolising their identity as the commanders of thousands of cavalry. In Aaron Landis, the people who could become a part of the thousand knights were unique knights.
Seeing Garlan coming in, the three knight commanders bowed their heads and saluted him.
Before they came to Vernal City, their respect for Garlan was purely for the royal family and the accompanying respect for King Camos. But at this time, their salute was a little more sincere.
Although the little Prince looked weak, he still possessed the courage they agreed with and the caring heart for his subordinates.
And they also felt that even if the Prince was a little weaker now and was still young, as long as he worked harder in the future, maybe he would become as strong as King Camos when he grewows up?
King Camos didn’t care about the presence of the knight commanders,and strode over, and laughinged and hugginged little Garlan.
He himself felt that, in front of others, he was very restrained by not being able to hold back his affections for his cute little brother.
“Garlan, you did a great job this time.”
He praised his brother without hesitation.
“Takinge a personal risk, rescuinge Aaron Landis’ young children, and then, successfully stopping the rioting refugees, no one couldcan do better than you. This time, the merits of Vernal City, Yyou account for at least half.”
He said, “So, I’ll reward you. Come on, Garlan, what do you want?”
When Garlan, who was still worrying, heard what King Camos said, and his eyes lit up.
Wasn’t this just right?
He thought happily, grabbed Brother King’s head and turned half a circle, and pointed to the front to let King Camos walk by the window.
The knight commanders beside them all stood aside calmly.
If this was someone else who dared to break the ground1 on their great King Camos like this, they would have yelled at him or even made a move.
But for the little Prince who was spoiled by King Camos to the sky, from time to time he grabbed their King’s head, tugged his hair or even slapped his cheeks. They were used to it and were numb to it.
Anyway, one was willing to beat and the other was willing to suffer. Could no one see how happy the King was?
If they really stepped forward to stop the little Prince’s offensive behavior, they would be beaten by King Camos himself if they said no.
Without knowing the whispers of the knight commanders behind him, Garlan motioned his Brother King to come to the window, and then pointed in a direction outside the window.
“Brother King, look there.”
Looking in the direction Garlan was pointing, Camos subconsciously frowned.
Because he saw a mountain of corpses piled up on the Vernal River outside the city. Most of the corpses buried underneath were drowned when the river flooded, and the outermost layer was the corpses of people who died recently. From a distance, oneyou could see countless flies flying and lingering on the carrion corpses.
“Those people are so pitiful.”
Garlan tried to show a child’s sympathy for the dead whose bodies were not collected.
“Brother King, can you ask someone to bury them in the mountains?”
In fact, Garlan wanted to directly say was to burn them. Cremation of this pathogen was the best way. But now, the customs on the earth were very ancient. People here believed that humans had souls. Even when they die, their bodies and souls were deeply linked and connected. If you get the blessing of the gods, the dead soul may be able to return to the body to resurrect. Therefore, they attached great importance to the integrity of the corpse and had always respected burial. Some special ethnic groups would bury the corpse in the sky2 and water, but there was absolutely no such practice as cremation.
For them, the so-called cremation was to frustrate the bones and burn the ashes, bringing with their souls to ashes and annihilation. Unless they had a deep hatred for the other party, no one would do such ‘vicious’ things.
So Garlan had to take a step back and let people drag these corpses into the mountains to bury them.
“Garlan,” Camos smiled at him and said, “I know how you are soft-hearted you are, but everyone is busy now. The river is in danger of flooding, everyone went there to work on it.”
Recently, the Vernal River seemed to be rising again. Most of the city guards who maintained the order of the city went to the river embankment to urgently repair the embankment. The remaining city guards were already very reluctant to maintain order in the city and resettlement of refugees. It was impossible to allocate manpower to do something purely to make the little Prince happy.
The guards under his command…King Camos didn’t even think about it. After all, the knights under his command were all aristocrats, and it was absolutely impossible for them to carry the corpses of civilians and slaves.
He coaxed the little brother in his arms and said, “But our Garlan is kind, so wait a while, when this wave of Vernal River flood season has passed, I’ll ask them to bury the corpses again. Okay?”
Garlan became frantic.
Wait for a while? Would it be ten days or half a month? I’m afraid that when the time comes, the plague in the entire City of Vernal would havehas already erupted.
He tried to organise appropriate language to explain the contamination of water sources with germs.
“But Brother King, you see, many of those people died of illness. They got sick, and now they are soaking in the water. The illness may melt into the water, and the people in the city have to drink water again. They will get the same disease as them!”
That kind of kid’s words made King Camos laugh for a while, only thinking how his little Prince was so cute.
Not only him, but the knight commanders nearby also laughed in a low voice.
Although the Prince did a great job, he was still a child after all, so whimsical.
They all had that thought.
King Camos smiled and rubbed Garlan’s head, who had an anxious expression.
“Little guy, did you sleep too much until you became muddled? How can a person’s disease melt into the water?”
Seeing King Camos and the several knight commanders laughing, and not uncaring about what he said at all,. Garlan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn’t.
Everyone thought that he was speaking such childish remarks only because of sympathy that he wanted to bury the poor refugees who had no relatives. No one took his words seriously.
Due to the limitations of this era, even if doctors were called, those doctors wouldn’t agree with him.
It was impossible to act like cottequishly… Garlan knew the temper of Brother King Camos very well. Although Brother King spoiled him and cared about him, he would never change his mind on business matters just to make him happy.
After coaxing his little brother, King Camos continued to stand with his commanders at the square table covered with a map, discussing how to prevent the Vernal River from flooding again.
Thus, Garlan was placed on a soft soft chair, with a plate of fragrant milk cakes and a cup of sweet juice in front of him, but Garlan pressed his lips, obviously not thinking about eating.
He bent his knees in the soft chair, blinked, as his mind was raceding quickly.
While thinking hard, he unconsciously swept his gaze away from the people on the opposite side.
A golden light flashed in his eyes, he fixed his eyes and saw a four-finger-wide pure gold armband on King Camos’ upper arm.
In an instant, his eyes lit up.
The little Prince jumped off the chair and ran to the side of King Camos. He stretched out his little hand and pulled the corner of King Camos’ clothes.
“Brother King~~~”
He calledyelled, and tugged again.
As soon as Camos looked down, he saw the child who looked up at him with a small face, and his golden eyes looked at him brightly.
He couldn’t help but smile, and lifted Garlan up and put him on the table.
“How? Have you thought of what reward you want?”
“En!”
The little white hand stretched out in front of King Camos, and Garlan looked at Camos with bright eyes.
“Brother King, give me gold coins, Aaron gold coins.”
“Huh?”
King Camos was taken aback.
He didn’t expect that Garlan thought for a long time and actually wanted gold coins.
Was his little brother short of money?
He thought, had he never treated this child with material goods?
Garlan’s words made the faces of the knight commanders next to them slightly changed. For them, it wasn’t a good thing for the heir to the throne to love money.
“Brother King~~”
Garlan shouted again, the child’s voice was still childlike, soft and sweet, like a sweet little milk cake, and his big golden eyes gleamed as he watched him.
All of a sudden, the hesitant King Camos relented.
“It can be done… but you have to tell Brother King, what do you want gold coins for?”
“To hire someone.”
“Ah?”
“Didn’t Brother King say that there is a shortage of manpower? But I see that the refugees are all fine now, so I’ll give them money to hire them and ask them to help me bury the corpses. Isn’t that enough?”
“Uh… That is also a solution.”
King Camos thought for a while, and felt that this idea was indeed good.
Although those refugees had been properly settled, it was easy to cause riots if they didn’t do anything, so it was good to arrange something for them. Although he felt that what Garlan wanted to do was unnecessary, as the King of Aaron Landis, he was not short of money, and it was no big deal to spend some gold coins to make his little brother happy.
After thinking about it, he smiled and touched Garlan’s head to praise him.
“Yes, that’s great. Garlan is so smart.”
The knight commanders glanced at each other, and they were also relieved.
Fortunately, the little Prince does not seem to be the kind of person who was greedy for money.
Just when King Camos was satisfied, the knight commanders breathed a sigh of relief, and Garlan who had achieved the goal was also happy. When everyone was overjoyed, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
“King Camos, you dote on Prince Garlan too much.”
The Shamash priest, who stepped into the administration room, said with such a blank expression, he glanced at Garlan who was sitting on the table.
“You shouldn’t let him do such meaningless things because of his character.”
Camos scratched his head.
“I’ve already promised him.”
“So please pay attention next time.”
As Ziemuer said, he walked to the table and looked down at the map on the table.
Then, frowned.
“The water level in the Vernal River is getting stronger and higher?”
A knight commander replied, “Yes, the silt has accumulated a lot, and the river bed is very high. I don’t know if it can make it through. But I have seen the river embankment, and if this continues, even if the embankment continues to be repaired, it will be difficult to sustain it next year. “
He pointed his finger at the location of the City of Vernal on the map, as well as the nearby section of the Vernal River.
“Here, and here, the riverbed is already more than one meter above the ground.” He frowned and said, “Even if someone is arranged to clean up the silt in the dry season, when the water is released again, the riverbed that has finally been dug down will be again. It will be filled up by the silt.”
“We can only think of a way to raise the embankment again, but the problem is that with our technology, the height of the embankment is almost reaching its limit, and it will be difficult to ensure the stability of the embankment if it is increased further.”
Ziemuer looked at the map carefully, then reached out and clicked nearby.
“There is a valley here,” he said. “There is also a dry river.”
“If it is not possible to continue to raise the embankment, we can only find a way to dredge the water to other places. It is best to connect the Vernal River with this dry channel.”
“You mean, build a channel between here? The distance is a bit far, I’m afraid it will take a long time…”
“Yes, that’s something to be done later. At the moment we need to build a temporary channel to lead the water from the Vernal River to this nearby valley, where the terrain is low.”
“But, in such a short time to dig a channel, we need a lot of manpower to rush to work, and it is too late to transfer to a nearby city…”
King Camos touched his chin and thought, suddenly his eyes lit up.
At almost the same time, Ziemuer also raised his head.
At the same time, the two looked at Garlan, who was sitting on the table looking down and wondering how much he would best pay for carrying a corpse.
“Those refugees.”
Ziemuer said that the words were simple and concise, and the others instantly realised it.
Yes, they could use money to hire those refugees to dig channels according to Prince Garlan’s idea.
Not only could it prevent the river from breaking down the embankment again, it can also find long-term jobs for those refugees, so that they can earn money for themselves. In addition, those refugees would no longer have any thoughts of things like rebellion when they consume their energy in this kind of high-intensity physical work.
Kill three birds with one stone.
King Camos hugged his little brother and kissed him fiercely.
“Garlan, you’re really my lucky charm!”
After kissing him, he rushed out the door anxiously, letting people prepare to recruit refugees.
The little Prince, who was still thinking about giving out money, was suddenly kissed hard, and was a little bit embarrassed for a while.
As soon as he looked up, he saw King Camos leaving in a hurry. In the midst of being confused, he turned his head around and saw Ziemuer standing beside him, staring at him faintly with his eyes.
The look in his eyes made his hair stand a little.
…I have a very bad feeling.
“Your Royal Highness, your injury seems to have healed.”
The Shamash priest said that the tone could not be denied.
“So, starting tomorrow, you will study with me for two hours a day.”
Garlan, “!!!”
Wait, did I do anything?!

“Uh… That is also a solution.”
King Camos thought for a while, and felt that this idea was indeed good.
Although those refugees had been properly settled, it was easy to cause riots if they didn’t do anything, so it was good to arrange something for them. Although he felt that what Garlan wanted to do was unnecessary, as the King of Aaron Landis, he was not short of money, and it was no big deal to spend some gold coins to make his little brother happy.
After thinking about it, he smiled and touched Garlan’s head to praise him.
“Yes, that’s great. Garlan is so smart.”
The knight commanders glanced at each other, and they were also relieved.
Fortunately, the little Prince does not seem to be the kind of person who was greedy for money.
Just when King Camos was satisfied, the knight commanders breathed a sigh of relief, and Garlan who had achieved the goal was also happy. When everyone was overjoyed, a cold voice suddenly sounded.
“King Camos, you dote on Prince Garlan too much.”
The Shamash priest, who stepped into the administration room, said with such a blank expression, he glanced at Garlan who was sitting on the table.
“You shouldn’t let him do such meaningless things because of his character.”
Camos scratched his head.
“I’ve already promised him.”
“So please pay attention next time.”
As Ziemuer said, he walked to the table and looked down at the map on the table.
Then, frowned.
“The water level in the Vernal River is getting stronger and higher?”
A knight commander replied, “Yes, the silt has accumulated a lot, and the river bed is very high. I don’t know if it can make it through. But I have seen the river embankment, and if this continues, even if the embankment continues to be repaired, it will be difficult to sustain it next year. “
He pointed his finger at the location of the City of Vernal on the map, as well as the nearby section of the Vernal River.
“Here, and here, the riverbed is already more than one meter above the ground.” He frowned and said, “Even if someone is arranged to clean up the silt in the dry season, when the water is released again, the riverbed that has finally been dug down will be again. It will be filled up by the silt.”
“We can only think of a way to raise the embankment again, but the problem is that with our technology, the height of the embankment is almost reaching its limit, and it will be difficult to ensure the stability of the embankment if it is increased further.”
Ziemuer looked at the map carefully, then reached out and clicked nearby.
“There is a valley here,” he said. “There is also a dry river.”
“If it is not possible to continue to raise the embankment, we can only find a way to dredge the water to other places. It is best to connect the Vernal River with this dry channel.”
“You mean, build a channel between here? The distance is a bit far, I’m afraid it will take a long time…”
“Yes, that’s something to be done later. At the moment we need to build a temporary channel to lead the water from the Vernal River to this nearby valley, where the terrain is low.”
“But, in such a short time to dig a channel, we need a lot of manpower to rush to work, and it is too late to transfer to a nearby city…”
King Camos touched his chin and thought, suddenly his eyes lit up.
At almost the same time, Ziemuer also raised his head.
At the same time, the two looked at Garlan, who was sitting on the table looking down and wondering how much he would best pay for carrying a corpse.
“Those refugees.”
Ziemuer said that the words were simple and concise, and the others instantly realised it.
Yes, they could use money to hire those refugees to dig channels according to Prince Garlan’s idea.
Not only could it prevent the river from breaking down the embankment again, it can also find long-term jobs for those refugees, so that they can earn money for themselves. In addition, those refugees would no longer have any thoughts of things like rebellion when they consume their energy in this kind of high-intensity physical work.
Kill three birds with one stone.
King Camos hugged his little brother and kissed him fiercely.
“Garlan, you’re really my lucky charm!”
After kissing him, he rushed out the door anxiously, letting people prepare to recruit refugees.
The little Prince, who was still thinking about giving out money, was suddenly kissed hard, and was a little bit embarrassed for a while.
As soon as he looked up, he saw King Camos leaving in a hurry. In the midst of being confused, he turned his head around and saw Ziemuer standing beside him, staring at him faintly with his eyes.
The look in his eyes made his hair stand a little.
…I have a very bad feeling.
“Your Royal Highness, your injury seems to have healed.”
The Shamash priest said that the tone could not be denied.
“So, starting tomorrow, you will study with me for two hours a day.”
Garlan, “!!!”
Wait, did I do anything?!
