On the bed, Garlan was in deep sleep.
And at this moment, those buried pasts began to play out in his dreams.
Scenes began to emerge in his dreams.
Those things that had happened before, all appeared clearly in his dreams one after another.
He saw everything with his own eyes.
…
It should have been just a prank by the children.
It didn’t have much malice, but it caused a prank with more terrible consequences than one with it…
…
Seven-year-old Garlan, and twelve-year-old Heimos, were chosen to become the Prince of Aaron Landis.
As the brothers of King Camos, they both had the right to inherit the throne of Aaron Landis.
King Camos obviously preferred the younger Garlan even more.
However, the outstanding qualifications of Heimos were obviously more than the relatively mediocre Garlan.
Therefore, in the palace, the people split into two groups.
One supported Prince Garlan and the other supported Prince Heimos.
There was only one throne. As long as King Camos had no children, the future king position would be chosen from either of them.
Therefore, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the people around the two Princes began to be hostile to each other, provoked, and split into two distinct groups.
And it was obvious that the hostility of those around the Prince also slightly affected the relationship between the two Princes who were still at peace with one another.
…Especially under the calculations of someone with spiteful intentions.
…
“Your Royal Highness, Prince Heimos must have deliberately embarrassed you. He knew that you are young, not good at riding and shooting, and yet you still have to behave properly in front of everyone.”
“Yes, you must pay attention, and guard against Prince Heimos.”
The little child was initially confused by the words of his companions.
“Brother Heimos is very good to me. He takes good care of me.” He replied.
Little Garlan felt that although his relationship with Heimos could not be said to be very close, and it was indeed not as close as King Camos and him, in normal times, Heimos would still take care of him as his brother.
“No, Your Highness, he is pretending in front of you.”
“Yes, don’t trust him easily.”
“He just wants to win your trust.”
“Enough. I don’t like to hear you say that about Brother Heimos.”
The young Prince didn’t believe it at first.
…
“Your Royal Highness, Prince Garlan deliberately relied on his young age, and always liked to please King Camos. This reward should obviously be yours.”
Just like in Garlan’s situation, someone said the same in front of Heimos.
“He is young. King Camos ought to put in more effort to take care of him.”
The young Prince didn’t care about the complaints of his subordinates at first.
However…
“Your Royal Highness, Prince Heimos taught our people a lesson, he deliberately embarrassed you—”
“Your Royal Highness, Prince Garlan’s people are always making trouble for us.”
“Your Royal Highness, Prince Heimos is using his age by bullying you. He always treats you as nothing, doesn’t he?”
“Your Royal Highness, it is obviously Prince Garlan who made the mistake this time, but King Camos prefers him and protects him, don’t you think it is too much?”
…
At first they didn’t care about it, but day after day, the same words kept ringing in their ears.
The two Princes’ impression of each other gradually deteriorated, and their relationship gradually began to drift apart.
Heimos, who had a mature personality, was okay. Although he felt that Garlan was a little willful. As the elder brother, he still tolerated him. Things that he could put up with, he would do so.
In addition, his style of doing things made people afraid to make too obvious provocations in front of him.
However, Garlan was different. After all, he was only a seven-year-old child, and he still couldn’t identify the right and wrong of everyone’s words and the quality of them.
When everyone around him was coaxing and encouraging him, he was gradually won over.
He began to feel that Heimos was indeed not a good person. He was the one who would rob him of the future, and he could not allow Heimos to continue to bully in this way.
However, Heimos was very skillful.
Little Garlan felt very depressed.
He was no match for Heimos at all.
“Your Royal Highness, I have a way to teach Heimos a lesson.”
One day, Garlan once again lost to Heimos in class. He was criticized by Ziemuer. He watched him praise Heimos. After returning, he sulked in the house.
At this time, a young man secretly said this to him.
The child thought for a while and shook his head.
“Forget it. That’s not good.”
Although encouraged by people around him, children still had their own thinking and judgment.
He vaguely felt that this approach didn’t seem very good.
“It’s not a very dangerous thing. I just got some stinky black water. We can pour on Prince Heimos so that we can teach him a lesson.”
The young man persuaded him in a low voice as his eyes twitched.
“Prince Heimos won’t tell King Camos about such a small matter.”
“Just splash him with water?”
Garlan hesitated.
It didn’t seem to be a problem if he just threw a whole pot of black stinky water on him and let him return back dirty, right?
He thought so.
“En. We won’t dare to do it if it crosses the line.”
The boy tried his best to confide in him.
“Your Royal Highness, think about it. At that time if he returns back being stinky and dirty, no one will come close to him. Hehe. Also, I heard that one will be very unlucky for a long time if they were to be in contact with that stinky water.”
The child tilted his head and pondered for a while, then nodded.
“Oh… Okay.”
Everyone complimented Heimos, saying he was good, saying he was great, and that he should learn from him.
Every time he liked to behave excellently in front of everyone, pressing him down, and causing him to be scolded by Ziemuer.
Everyone always said that Brother King preferred him. Otherwise he wouldn’t be able to compare with Heimos.
It was really annoying!
Hmph, splash Heimos with water so that he would know how good I am.
The child thought so angrily in his heart, and agreed in response to his companion’s suggestion.
However, the child’s nature was still good. Even though he thought so in his heart when he was angry at the time, on the very day he really wanted to execute it, Garlan pondered thoroughly, hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head.
“Just forget it.”
Although the people around him were swaying him so much, he still felt that it was wrong to do so.
“Doing this isn’t good.”
If you really want to teach Heimos a lesson, it should be fair and out in the open.
Ziemuer had taught him, as a prince, he shouldn’t behave in ways that would violate his self-esteem.
Garlan thought so, and once again refused the sorrow of his companions.
Moreover, he found a very good excuse.
“If I were to do this, it would make King Camos angry.”
After that, little Garlan ran away.
He left all the teenagers, who were looking at one another with little discouragement.
The time was approaching. They were all waiting to see the good show of the guy who made them very unconvinced. Who knew that Prince Garlan was so timid that he was worried that King Camos would be angry and decided to withdraw.
“Really, King Camos won’t discipline the Prince about such a small issue.”
“Yes, the King is very fond of His Royal Highness. This isn’t a serious matter, how can the King be angry with the Prince?”
“And Prince Heimos will definitely not report this trivial matter to the King.”
“We have talked and settled it. Why did he change his mind now?”
“Yeah, everything is ready, isn’t this a waste?”
“Since His Royal Highness won’t go, shall we go by ourselves?”
A young teenager suddenly suggested had a strange look in his eyes.
“Ah?”
“It’s just almost a kick away. I’m unwilling to back away like this ah.”
“That’s right, that’s right.”
“I also feel that way.”
“After we help His Highness teach that person a lesson, His Highness will definitely be very happy.”
“En, you’re right.”
A group of teenagers were talking excitedly, and decided to act on their own.
In the group, one of them looked left and right in conflict. He was very timid and didn’t dare to go with the crowd, so he left the group and secretly ran to report the unauthorised actions to Prince Garlan.
…
As planned at the beginning, Heimos’ half body was splashed with black water.
The thick black liquid slowly dripped from the boy, emitting a pungent smell.
He raised his head and frowned at the child who appeared in front of him.
“Garlan? What are you doing?”
He shot daggers with his eyes and unhappily asked.
“Were you the one who told them to do this?”
Garlan was relaxing in the gazebo and enjoying the coolness and eating sweet pastries, but when he was suddenly told that the teenagers had acted arbitrarily, he hurried over.
Only when he ran here, it was already too late. Heimos had been splashed with black water.
He originally wanted to shake his head and say no, but when he saw the begging eyes of the teenagers next to him, he didn’t open his mouth.
The child’s heart was soft.
He thought that if he was responsible, he would at most be scolded by Brother Camos and Ziemuer. But if it was known that these teenagers did it without approval, they would definitely end badly if they were rude to the Prince. They might even be driven out of the palace.
Thinking about this, Garlan didn’t refute, and whispered, “Who told you to always get me scolded…”
When a child said this, it meant to the other party that he did bad things and had a guilty conscience.
Heimos squinted his eyes, and the expressions in his staring at Little Garlan became fierce.
Although the child had recently been a little bit more willful, he thought that after all, he was just a child, and let it go.
Just as Heimos was about to speak, Garlan suddenly stepped forward and leaned close to him.
“Come to my place?”
The child grabbed Heimos’s left hand, dragged him and coaxed.
“Don’t be angry, let me clean it up for you, okay?”
He grabbed Heimos’ hand, stood beside him, and looked at the boy with his little head tilted up, speaking to him softly, as if to please him.
Heimos’ was a little angry, but when he saw the little child approaching, pulled him to his side as if he wanted to apologise and his tone of voice was soft and flattering, his anger dissipated a little.
He thought to himself, forget it, it was just a kid’s prank, there was no need to care about children.
The anger disappeared a little. He was about to answer Garlan’s words when he suddenly heard a slight creak above his head.
He looked up instinctively.
The overturned brazier was reflected in the teenager’s dilated pupils.
Almost subconsciously, he pushed out the child who was holding his hand hard—
The burning coals fell down.
It landed on Heimos’ right arm that was wrapped in thick black liquid.
A boom sound was heard.
The crimson flame burned fiercely.
The body of a young man burst into flames.
In just an instant, half of the boy’s body was swallowed into the crimson flames.
Half of the teenager’s body almost became engulfed in flames.
The intense pain of being burned by the flame made Heimos let out an agonising scream.
He fell to the ground and his burning body wriggled painfully.
The flame wrapped his body. The hand stretched out from the flame, and the fingers stretched forward with all their strength, as if trying to grasp something in a difficult and desperate manner.
The fire light reflected the teenager’s eyes.
Those eyes, which had become blood-red, stared at the child who was sitting not far in front of him.
The teenager’s original handsome face was distorted due to pain and it was extremely hideous.
Garlan, who was pushed away by Heimos, fell to the ground, staring dumbfoundedly at the teenager who was swallowed by flames in front of him.
And the blood-red eyes staring at him steadily.
He sat there blankly and motionlessly.
The child seemed to be stupefied. His eyes were dull, and he stared into the blood-red eyes.
Screams and shouts rang all around, resounding through the dark night.
Soon, the night sky was dyed red by flames.
The tumbling charcoal fire ignited the dark liquid spilled on the ground, lighting up the dense bushes. In an instant, the entire atrium was burning up, reflecting the night sky like daylight.
…
In the chaos, no one would notice.
The wooden arrow that had been burnt to ashes in the flames, and the copper brazier that had been burned out-of-shape in the fire…
Taking advantage of the great riot caused by the fire, a dark figure secretly escaped from the scene of the accident…
…
“How is it?”
“I’m sorry, Your Majesty, almost one-third of Prince Heimos’ body has been burned. This kind of injury is really…”
Thinking of the terrible and miserable appearance of the teenager lying on the hospital bed, even this old doctor who had seen countless patients in his life felt his heartbeat and palpitations to the extreme.
From the right arm all the way down, half of the body, as well as the flesh on the right leg, were burned, as if they had been skinned, revealing blood-red muscles and flesh.
There were even some areas that have been browned with traces of carbonization.
His lips trembled slightly and said, “This kind of burn…The prince will not be able to survive this.”
It was impossible for anyone to survive this terrible injury.
That level could even kill people.
Suddenly, the room was suffocated and silent. After a long time, the brown-haired King standing there spoke in a low voice.
He said, “Do your best to save him.”
“Yes.”
The old doctor replied, but from his expression, he didn’t hold any hope.
The prince’s injury was so serious that he might die even in the next second. If he wanted to survive, he would need a miracle and inhuman willpower.
…
“Your Royal Highness Garlan! You have woken up?”
“Prince—”
In the bedroom on the other side, the young child woke up leisurely, and the maid serving him cried out in surprise.
In the voice of the maid, Garlan sat up and looked around in confusion.
Ziemuer stepped forward and looked at him sternly.
“Prince, do you know how much trouble you have caused—”
After saying half a sentence, the child glanced at him, and the confused look in his eyes made Ziemuer’s voice pause. He couldn’t continue.
Something is strange.
Ziemuer looked at Garlan and thought.
“Why am I here? Wasn’t I at the pavilion?”
The child looked up at him and asked curiously.
“Ziemuer, did you carry me back?”
“…Prince, do you remember what you did not long ago?”
“Not long ago? Not long ago I ate in the pavilion, and fell asleep after eating.”
“…”
Ziemuer didn’t speak.
He was speechless for a moment.
He looked into Garlan’s eyes, and the child’s eyes looked right back at him, with bright, clear, and calm eyes.
The child didn’t lie—it should be said that Garlan thought he himself didn’t lie.
…The terrible and strong stimulus made this child forget everything that happened in the flames…
