The King's Follower [Rebirth]

The crown prince's castle, Hull Castle, is not as large or as luxurious as the royal palace in Lehman, the capital of the king.Because the owners of the castle have always been underage children, the style of the castle looks very bright and lively. The outer walls are painted in soft light yellow, and the eaves and columns are carved with amiable servants and beautiful and lovely animals. On the road, colorful bricks are used to spell out large and large chrysanthemums and morning glories stretching along the edge of the road, which is somewhat fairy-tale.

Just like the royal palace, the castle is located in the very center of the city. Every citizen of Cuthbert has the right to ask to meet the crown prince and make appeals. Although Edward was neglected to study government affairs in the previous life, he was still very friendly to the common people. , will never shut out citizens who have appeals, and there are think tanks sent by the king and queen around him. Even if they are to monitor him, these think tanks did not make the ignorant Edward lose the face of the royal family , Let the people and the Lancaster family separate.Therefore, the residents of Somerset, especially the residents of Derley, the capital, love the Crown Prince very much. Knowing that the Crown Prince is coming back today, they gathered early on the main road leading from the city gate to the castle. At the end of the road, the town of Lyman immediately rang cheerful bells.

Edward entered the castle amidst the bells, the cheers, and the petals, herbs, and handkerchiefs that nearly drowned out the procession.This was the warmest welcome they had ever encountered along the way. Even though they had been welcomed countless times by the villages and towns along the way, the newly joined servants were still intimidated by this battle.

"Your Highness, you are really welcomed by everyone!" William looked at the excited crowd outside the car window, and turned his head to Edward, who was smiling and waving at the crowd outside the car window, full of admiration.

He suddenly thought of what his mother and his mother's bodyguard Richard said to him, that he is the real crown prince, the proud son of heaven who is truly qualified to sit on the throne and wear the crown, and so on. He has never thought about it too much, the crown It's too far away from him.And these days, looking at the warm welcomes along the way, those cheers of love, those sincere admiration, and seeing the well-behaved and graceful Prince Edward, he suddenly felt that the words of his mother and Richard were simply a joke. How could such an elegant person be replaced by a country boy with a vulgar manner, a bad accent, and no understanding of anything?

"What are you thinking about?" Edward was a little surprised by William's staring blankly.

"You're beautiful," William whispered, his voice almost lost in the cheers of the crowd.

But Edward still heard it, "You." Edward smiled, wondering if William still had the potential to grow into a playboy, and sat with the child on his lap, "Look," he pointed at the bustling car window The crowd said, "This is our subjects, the subjects of the Lancaster family. They serve us faithfully, so we must protect them with all our strength, regardless of whether they are rich or poor, high or low. You will include everyone in your Wings, this is what the Lancaster family should do."

William nodded heavily, blushing a little, "I will become the most powerful orc in the empire to protect Your Highness and your subjects."

"Thank you." Edward smiled, "I believe you have this strength."

Inside the castle of Hull, the housekeeper and guardian of the castle, Countess Permette, stood at the door with senior servants to welcome the returning crown prince and his servants who were noble or promising in the future.

"I am very glad that you can return safely." Countess Permette led the crowd to salute the crown prince, and the attendants behind the crown prince immediately returned the salute.The Countess of Permet is a sub-orc. She lost her husband in her early years and only wore a black dress all the year round. She has a thin figure, a serious expression, sharp eyes, downward corners of her mouth, and a few wrinkles between her eyebrows. She looks a bit gloomy, with black hair The hair is tightly coiled on the top of the head, without any decorations, the whole person looks very intimidating.

Edward's guardian is actually the king's person. She is not only the guardian of the crown prince, but also the guardian of the crown prince's close servants. The king hinted that she would let the crown prince do her own thing, but she couldn't let these high-quality talents around the crown prince become dudes. The Countess of Hermette did this meticulously. She supervised the study and life of each child. Except for Edward, no one could spend time on entertainment. So now, the entire castle, except for Edward, everyone Everyone is afraid of this harsh female orc.

Edward introduced Countess Permette to the four new servants, "You must listen to her." He instructed.The countess cast a cryptic glance at William, who was next to Edward. She had already received news from the king and knew about the deal between the king and Edward. She was thinking about how to arrange study time for the real crown prince without letting people Noticing something unusual, he saluted again and invited the Crown Prince to enter.

Edward didn't come back to enjoy himself. He only rested for one night and started to devote himself to his busy life the next day.Of course, most of what he is busy with is not government affairs. He must personally complete the interviews with citizens and ministers, but the more specific official duties related to Somerset are still handled by the king's people. From this moment on, Edward will Show the king his sincere attitude of never interfering in politics.

Edward is now putting all his energy into cultivation. He is very clear about his identity and has a fairly clear positioning for his future.He planned to enter the church after William was crowned Prince of Somerset as an adult.The church is not just a religious institution, it is also a shelter for sub-orcs with herbal medicine space. If someone among the common people is detected that the space can grow herbs, if the family is in trouble, the church will help them and provide them with free learning and training. The resources for cultivation, in addition, because the sub-orcs with herbal medicine space are highly sought after in the mainland, fearing that someone will harm these sub-orcs for profit, the church will provide them with protection.Therefore, almost all sub-orcs in the herbal space will serve in the church for a period of time.Edward's current space is also considered half a herbal space, and it is only natural to go to the church.

More importantly, the senior priests of the church, that is, the archbishops of the dioceses, the cardinals of the church, the prime minister, the deacon bishop, and the highest pope, cannot marry or have offspring.Edward has a special status. Even if he loses the position of crown prince in the future, as long as the king recognizes his loyalty, he will still be able to obtain a not-so-low title of nobility. Senior priests are nothing to worry about.A person has no way to form a family. Without relatives and offspring, it means that he has no worries and will not have too much selfishness, and a priest means that his every move will be greatly restricted. This kind of person is the most lethal person. The presence of the king at ease.

Besides, this is also Edward's own wish.Since waking up a year ago, he has spent a lot of time every day, praying step by step, studying the Hadith, and reading the works of the sages. After more than a year, he has discovered from the very beginning the fear of his rebirth and the fear of the future. I calmed down from my confusion and fear, and now I feel peaceful and fulfilled.He had already decided to dedicate his life to Orgunra in the future, not only to fulfill the promise he made in his previous life, but also for William and himself.

On the other side, Countess Permette was taking four new servants to visit the castle, introducing them to the layout of the castle and their future living arrangements.

"The work of serving the Crown Prince will not be too hard." Countess Permette led them to the library, "You are divided into three shifts a day, morning, afternoon and evening, and you take turns to be on duty. When you are not serving the Crown Prince, you must Come to the study room to study. Hull Castle has the fifth largest library in the empire, the third largest practice field in the country, and dozens of excellent teachers. These are resources that ordinary people cannot enjoy. Therefore, I want to Let me remind you," Countess Permette stopped and looked at the four of them seriously, "Your study tasks will be arranged very tightly, and there will be an assessment every month. Be severely punished. Corporal punishment is not prohibited here, if I find that some of you are wasting your time on idleness..." She looked down at the two orcs and two sub-orcs in front of her, she didn't finish her sentence, but The cold eyes said it all.

After introducing the castle, Countess Permette called an orc guard and asked him to take William and Matthew to see the practice field, while the other two sub-orcs could go back to the room to pack their luggage.

The practice field is not near Hull Castle. The castle is located in the center of Drey Town. The practice field occupies a large area and is relatively dangerous. It is easy to accidentally injure the onlookers.Therefore, the practice field is actually located in the woods outside the town of De Lai, where the location is hidden and surrounded by trees.If you want to go to the practice field to practice, you can get there in a few minutes by riding a flying beast, which is very convenient.

William originally thought that the training ground was a square with auditoriums just like the arenas he had seen before, but when the flying beasts passed through the forest and finally stopped on the specially opened space for parking flying beasts, Only then did William discover that the crown prince's training ground was completely different from what he thought, it was more like a school with an open-air arena.

At this time, there were a few roars of beasts in the square, "Someone is competing." The guard who brought William and Matthew over to visit explained, "You usually study in the teaching building, and the arena is used for the end of the month assessment. Of course, When you become adults, if you still want to be the guards of the crown prince in the future, you can learn more destructive power here."

"Is anyone playing now?" Willian asked.

"Listen to the sound, it should be like this." The guard said, "Do you want to watch it for a while?"
