The King's Follower [Rebirth]

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is coming to the training ground to watch the final exam!The news spread throughout the castle that night, and then spread from the mouths of the servants who got up early to work. By the time Edward woke up, the whole town of Drey had already heard the news.

The Hull practice field, which was originally built to facilitate the cultivation of the orc crown princes of all dynasties, will hold a small-scale assessment for underage orc students every month, and there will be a slightly larger final assessment every six months, and because the soldiers of the crown prince are also here Training in the practice field, and the assessment among soldiers are even more numerous.Therefore, for the people of Drey Town, the capital of Somerset, it is very common for the orcs to fight at a level higher than ordinary civilians. It is as convenient as a show, and the young unmarried sub-orcs regard watching adult orcs duel as part of their daily life, like chasing stars, supporting the orc with the best looks and the most dazzling moves.

However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not watch every duel!Although the crown prince is very close to the people and receives citizens who have appeals every day, but because he is a minor, he rarely goes out except for large-scale collective activities in the county at the end of the year.The status of the Lancaster family in the hearts of the people is not low. Now that the country is strong and the people are rich, these kings and crown princes have not had any scandals that are too unacceptable for everyone, so the people still support the rule of the Lancaster family very much.Whenever the Crown Prince appears, everyone is willing to join him.

So, when the flying beast carrying Edward flew out of the castle and flew towards the dense forest outside the city, Edward looked down from the window of the carriage fixed on the back of the flying beast and saw a long procession coming from the castle. The city gate extends all the way to the entrance of the forest path.

"It seems that there are quite a few people who came to see the crown prince today." Edward's cousin, Auguste said with a smile, "Fortunately, Mrs. Permette insisted and let you go out in formal attire."

Edward nodded. What was going to happen today made him hardly sleep all night. When he got up, he felt uncomfortable. He just wanted to find a simple and comfortable casual clothes to wear. The crown prince appeared in public in such a "disorganized" manner, and he seemed to have anticipated the crowded scene in the practice field, and forced Edward to wear a full set of daytime formal attire that was sufficient to parade with the king on National Day. caught off guard.

He looked at the village and town behind the forest in the distance, rubbed his temples wearily, and then looked at William sitting beside him.William's face turned pale, and he put his hands tightly into fists on his thighs, as if he was not going to participate in a simple final assessment, but the Cuthbert Empire's three-year Imperial Orc Contest.He touched the back of the little orc's neck and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, it's nothing serious."

He didn't say that he believed that William would be able to get No.1. There were other underage orc servants in the carriage. Some of them had their final exam today, especially Matthew who was in the same class as William. Although Edward usually He showed that he was extremely partial to his illegitimate younger brother who lost his mother, and everyone had no opinion on this because of the blood relationship between the two, but in some cases, such as now, he still needs to treat everyone as equally as possible, so as not to chill everyone's hearts.

William raised his head and said with a firm expression, "I will definitely take No.1, so as not to embarrass Your Highness!"

Edward did not respond to William's declaration, but raised his head, and said to all the other orc servants in the carriage: "Everyone must go all out, I don't want any of you to be qualified as a servant after the final assessment." trial list."

Everyone is busy expressing their determination to Edward one by one.Edward nodded, and rubbed his brows again. He felt his head was heavy, and there seemed to be a needle in the hat, following the movements of the flying beast, it pierced the top of his head one by one.

"Did you not sleep well last night?" August immediately noticed the discomfort that Edward was trying to hide, "You don't look very comfortable, why don't you ask them to move the assessment time a little later and let you rest for a while .”

"Thank you for your kindness, Cousin August." Edward smiled politely, "But everything should go on as usual, and we can't make everyone wait for me."

"Then let me make you a cup of tea, how about putting some fifth-level magic crystal powder?" Auguste smiled softly.Only a few very wealthy families have the financial resources to grind precious magic crystals into powder and add them to drinks and refreshments, just for refreshment.

Edward did not refuse.August moved very quickly without appearing flustered, and soon served Edward a cup of black tea at a suitable temperature.And at this moment, the flying beast landed slowly and steadily on the open space next to the training ground that was specially used to park flying beasts.

Edward took the attendants who did not need to take the exam, and led by the headmaster, to the room specially prepared for the crown prince.The predecessor of the Hull practice field was the crown prince's private practice field. After the expansion, it still retains the special room for the crown prince.Although Edward is a sub-orc man and does not need to come to the training ground for training, the private room belonging to the crown prince is still cleaned and maintained regularly, and it is very clean.

With more than half an hour before the start of the assessment, Edward sat down on the sofa near the window and waved everyone to leave.The hands of the grandfather clock engraved with exquisite patterns made a slight but not negligible "click click" sound. Edward rubbed his brows again and found that his fingers were trembling slightly.

He closed his eyes and clenched the Golden Ring Dragon on his chest.Fear seemed to seep into the cold air through the crack of the window, wrapped around his feet, crawled onto his body bit by bit, pierced his skin, and pierced into his heart.He couldn't help looking at the door of the room, imagining himself standing up suddenly, rushing out of the room, climbing on the back of a flying beast, and returning to the castle.No, maybe you don’t need to go back to the castle, maybe you can change the direction and fly as far as possible. It’s best to leave this country and hide somewhere where no one can find it, and have nothing to do with the current conspiracy.

Think why you are able to sit here in peace!Edward shouted in his heart, desperately resisting the urge to run away.Think about the source of your life!Orgunra gave you a second life because you swore an oath to protect the future monarch of this country!

He tightened his grip on the Golden Ring Dragon, thoughts raced through his mind, and finally rested his forehead on the clasped hands, silently reciting the Hadith.

The hand on the grandfather clock walked the distance it was supposed to go without haste, until 10 minutes before the start of the assessment, August knocked on the door of the room and asked Edward to set off.

When Edward appeared in the auditorium with his attendants, all the audience burst into applause and cheers immediately.Before taking his seat, Edward made a temporary short speech to liven up the atmosphere, and the final assessment officially began.

The little orcs studying in the practice field may never have imagined that one day there would be such a crowd watching their final assessment.In today's assessment class, there are two classes of orcs who are not yet ten years old. Seeing such a big battle and the exam has not yet started, several children hugged each other and cried because of excessive nervousness.The assessments of these classes had to be canceled urgently.

The final assessment starts from the lower grades, and William's appearance order is relatively late.However, the game itself of minor orcs is not too difficult. Children do not have enough element reserves, and many large-scale moves cannot be used. At most, they can spray fireballs and water polos. They are small in stature, and their teeth and claws are not sharp enough. The children in the first grade, after spraying each other with a few sparks and lightning that was no different from static electricity, finally gave up the so-called tactics and wrestled together, which made the audience laugh.

Edward also smiled in response to the occasion, but his eyes couldn't help staying on the referee on the field.This is the man who is going to kill me.He thought this way, perhaps because he had accepted his fate, but his mood gradually calmed down.

Finally it was William's turn.Edward immediately regained his composure and watched carefully.
