Your Mightiness

Although the titles of English nobles can be superimposed, even if they are already dukes, it will not affect August's titles of multiple viscounts or barons, but he still declined the crown prince's kindness.

Then I played with Xiao Baozi for a day.

Or it can also be explained that the prince Baozi entertained the Duke for a day as a landlord, and he worked very hard, which was the best he could think of at his age.

Guests are happy.

But until August was staying at Whitehall Palace, Richard II could not wait, and the servants of the palace could not give an accurate answer to the question "Where did the king go?"

Some people really don't know, and some people don't intend to say.

The personal servants and maids who came with August didn't look very good, because they felt that their Duke had been neglected.Although the Duke is young and doesn't understand many things, and doesn't think it's a big deal, but as the most useful people around the Duke, they will firmly remember every stroke of the Duke, and then tell them that they can make decisions for the Duke. people.

In view of August's special personal situation at the time, the selection of his servants had very unique conditions.The people arranged by the black prince are basically styles with a strong desire for protection, and have a certain degree of independent thinking, even the king dares to question it.

The silent knight commander had a different idea: "Maybe something really happened."

The brown-haired valet retorted: "But it's more likely to be a slap in the face."

When August's brain was chaotic before, Richard II could certainly be a generous uncle, but when Richard II had his own son and August recovered his IQ, Richard II It is not surprising that Shi's attitude has changed.

If you think about it this way, many things today make more sense.

The maid said: "The king is using the matter of letting the crown prince receive the Duke to remind you that the crown prince is the future master of the palace and even England. He can let his two daughters serve as servants to his son, and he can also let his nephew do the same. In fact, he did, letting their noble duke play with a three-year-old child all day!"

It's not that you can't play, but when you should be received by the king first, but you are shunned by the king and even dumped a little guy, this is unbearable.

"The three-year-old child you speak of is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"What about the Crown Prince?"

What can even a king do?

England is the United Kingdom, and its national conditions are very special. Well, the situation of all European countries is very special.They are more similar to separatist regimes, with the Holy See on top of the head, and it is difficult to centralize the power of the king.In the earliest days, the king was just the most powerful lord, and other lords could jointly elect A today and change to B tomorrow.

Although this situation has changed in the last hundred years, the perception of "a change in bloodline does not mean that the dynasty will change" in everyone's minds has not been weakened much.

August is just such a great lord.

Although the titles and territories are conferred by the king, if you ask him to try without conferring them, he dare not at all!

The Knights of the Garter under the Black Prince only recognize the Black Prince, followed by the little master August, as for the king, sorry, their employer is the Black Prince William III!

Cough, I'm thinking a little too much.

But there is no way, the valet is such a brain-filling boy.The Black Prince and his younger brother, Richard II, suffered a lot from palace fights when they were young because they were ignored by their homosexual father. After they had their own son, the Black Prince was always afraid of August The places he can't take care of are also treated like this.Therefore, in the direction of cultivating servants, you are not afraid that the other party thinks too much, but you are afraid that the other party thinks too little.

The knight commander waited for the personal servant to wake up from the hot-blooded brain, and then said concisely: "Earl March hasn't shown up for a day."

There has always been a saying in the social circles of the upper class in London: It is not terrible not to see the king, but it is terrible not to see the Earl of March.

No one knows how Raphael did it, but he used such a subtle and non-aggressive way to become the backbone of the entire London aristocracy in just a few years. As long as Raphael is around, they You won't panic.

In other words, Raphael, who had intended to accompany August, didn't show up all day, so there must be something wrong!

It wasn't until dawn that Raphael returned to the palace.

Why did August know?Because he didn't sleep all night, he was waiting for Raphael.The Knight Commander's words reminded him that it was impossible for Raphael to suddenly get off the car at the corner of the street for no reason, and something very bad must have happened.

"Waiting for me all this time?" Raphael was extremely tired, and he drove straight into the guest room where August was.

August only showed a pair of blue eyes from under the quilt, which looked unusually bright in the dark room, and he said: "If I didn't wait for you, you woke me up."

"Because I know you will wait for me." Rafael's eyes were black and blue, and his body was heavy as if he was carrying a hundred-jin sack all the time.He was really tired, so tired that he didn't even want to maintain his signature smile, because he knew that August would not mind.

"What happened?" August was not polite to Raphael, and asked with concern.

Raphael sat on the edge of the bed, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and let out a long sigh: "That man attempted suicide."

that man?which man?This is written in August's eyes.

"The one locked up in the Tower of London." Raphael talked about the other party in a very indifferent tone, even with undisguised malice, "He didn't die when he deserved to die, but he always made trouble when he didn't deserve to die. "

There is only one prisoner in the Tower of London, a man who announced to the public that he had been killed by the Queen Mother, William II.It was the cowardly and incompetent former king of England who stirred up sex and cheated on marriage.He is the husband of Queen Isabella, the father of the Black Prince and Richard II, and the grandfather of August, but he is not a good husband, nor a good father, nor a good grandfather.

"He ran out of the Tower of London today, was caught back without being noticed, and then he committed suicide. He didn't rescue him until Richard and I came back." Raphael explained briefly What happened in this chaotic day.

"Why would he do that?" August wondered.

As far as August knew, although the former king was "dead", his treatment was not bad. Except for the lack of freedom in life, neither the Black Prince nor Richard II could abuse their biological father , even though the biological father never cared about them, and even almost killed Richard II at one point.

After so many years of living in peace, why did he suddenly run away and commit suicide again?

"This is also a question that Richard wants to figure out." Raphael did not answer August directly.

However, August keenly understood what Raphael meant. It was a question Richard II wanted to figure out, not something Raphael and Richard II wanted to figure out. In other words, Raphael I'm either not interested in knowing, or I already know.

Based on his understanding of Raphael's exhaustive control freak, August is more inclined to the latter possibility.

Raphael clicked, raised his hand to touch August's eyelids, and wanted to help him close: "Okay, now you know what you should know, I'm fine, Richard is fine, you Father and England are fine. I'm going to step up my guard against that man and he won't be a problem anymore. So go to sleep and get up early tomorrow if you don't wake up and be guilty of 'not seeing you sooner' Drowning Richard will probably break into the guest room to see you."

Richard II was more afraid that his precious nephew would misunderstand him and not value him more than his biological father wanted to die.He really hated that father whom he had barely met, but who made him lose face. He always made trouble for him at critical moments!

"What about you?—" August asked Raphael.

The king can easily pretend that nothing happened the next day, but Raphael has to do a lot of follow-up processing.

"—Are you going to sleep? Or start the next day's work directly?" It was almost dawn.

"Are you inviting me to sleep together?" Raphael's extremely delicate face finally had a smile again, he even really lifted the quilt, got on the wide bed, and deliberately squeezed with August Together, they still said, "A child is a child. If you dare not sleep alone, you can tell me directly. Uncle is happy to accompany you."

August: "..." Why does he always feel that he is being taken advantage of by Raphael?

Together with the quilt, Raphael hugged the fragrant and soft little duke who had just showered at night: "Sleep, my little biscuit."

"What the hell is a biscuit?!"

"What?" Raphael raised his eyebrows, "Just allow Mary to call you pudding, but not allow me to call you biscuit? Or do you prefer to be called pumpkin?"

"..." She really is a control freak with eyeliner all over the place!
