The King's Follower [Rebirth]

Edward had something on his mind, his brain was hyperactive, and he didn't close his eyes all night, but William in his arms slept soundly.The child's sleeping position was very bad, and he began to curl up and down in Edward's arms as soon as he fell asleep.The room was very warm. Edward knew that it was impossible for him to be cold. He thought he was insecure, but at the end, when William was completely retracted into Edward's arms, he opened his mouth again and wrapped his mouth around the top of Edward's pajamas. She sucked a pearl button on her cheeks a few times, and then stopped in satisfaction, no longer moving around.

Edward can't laugh or cry, does William still retain the bad habit of sucking pacifiers?Although orcs and sub-orcs lay eggs, they are still mammals after all, and can only drink milk in their first year of life.But not all children can drink breast milk, only female sub-orcs are able to secrete milk, and male sub-orcs can only bottle-feed livestock milk for their children.

Edward has heard that some bottle-fed children have the bad habit of biting the pacifier, and because the orcs are extremely retarded in the development of both the body and the brain before adulthood, so this kind of bad habit of biting the pacifier for the orcs, if there is no Human correction will last for a long time. He even heard that some orcs still have the urge to fall asleep with something in their mouth until they reach adulthood.Edward is surrounded by descendants of nobles. Even if they are born by male sub-orcs, they can afford to be nursed by nurses. Taking a step back, even if they have the habit of biting pacifiers, they have long been corrected by strict etiquette education. Now , this is the first time he has seen what the habit of nipple biting looks like with his own eyes.

A sub-orc man's inherent maternal tenderness reverberated in Edward's heart.Be sure to find a doctor to correct this problem.As he thought to himself, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

Therefore, when the attendants walked into the room softly, preparing to help Edward get up to go to the church to attend the last collective prayer of the New Year's Mass, and when they opened the curtain of the big bed, what they saw was the crown prince with a gentle smile on his face, holding him in his arms. The little orc was sleeping soundly, and the little orc was holding something on the crown prince's chest in his mouth.

Several servants gasped, and one of them was about to wake up William, but was stopped by a gesture from the crown prince.Under the horrified eyes of all the servants, Edward pinched William's face lightly: "Good boy, it's time to get up."

William reluctantly opened his eyes, half-dream and half-awake, took two more sucks with the contents in his mouth, then his whole body stiffened, he quickly protruded the contents of his mouth, and suddenly sat up.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness!" William stammered, "I didn't do it on purpose!" As he spoke, he hurriedly climbed out of the bed, tripped over the quilt again, and almost fell down.

Edward also sat up slowly. He is not in good health now, and if his body changes positions too quickly, he will feel dizzy.He paused for a few seconds before slowly sliding off the bed and standing up. The fabric near the pearl button on his chest was wet with William's saliva, which was very obvious.William stood on the ground with bare feet. When he looked up, he saw some water stains. He blushed immediately and buried his head deeply.

The valet at the side stepped forward to take off Edward's long pajamas and help him put on the complicated dress.Edward stretched out his hands and feet as usual, looked at William who was hiding aside and wanted to blend into the carpet, and couldn't help laughing: "Stinky boy, I know I'm sorry? I have a bad habit of biting pacifiers, why didn't you tell me earlier? No Correct it early, when you become an adult and become an adult, and you still have to sleep with a pacifier at night, you will really be laughed to death."

Edward's tone was full of intimate jokes. As soon as William heard it, he knew that Edward was not angry. He immediately raised his head, met Edward's playful gaze again, blushed even more, and whispered: "I thought I had changed It's gone..."

Edward raised one eyebrow: "It seems that the reform is not thorough."

William rubbed his nose in embarrassment and began to put on his own clothes.Elizabeth, who was standing aside with nothing to do, hurried forward to help, but was pushed away by Matthew anxiously.In front of the crown prince, Matthew didn't dare to go too far, and just taunted William with his mouth: "Idiot."

But William didn't care, because after they were all packed, the crown prince extended his hand to him, and the two returned to the auditorium of the church hand in hand.

His fingers were pressed against the crown prince's soft palm, and William couldn't help scratching the crown prince's palm with his fingertips. Seeing the crown prince lowered his head, his eyes were full of doting smiles, and he suddenly felt that the one in his heart The small wine glass containing happiness has been filled to the brim, even gurgling to overflow.

On the first day of the new year, everyone was busy catching up on sleep, and resumed normal social activities on the second day.The dark clouds covering the crown prince's head dissipated inexplicably, and a bright smile appeared on the crown prince's face again. The castle was no longer gloomy, and the atmosphere was much more relaxed.Originally, during the New Year's holiday, when there were frequent balls, the nobles thought that the crown prince was not in the mood this year, and they dared not mention the ball in Hull Castle, nor did they dare to invite the crown prince to the ball held by themselves.Seeing that the crown prince's mood had returned to normal, he immediately sent all kinds of exquisite invitations.

Edward also knew that he had frightened everyone during this time, so he picked out invitations from some high-ranking nobles, and prepared to exchange feelings with his subjects.But before that, he first held a grand masquerade ball himself.

At the ball, he drove all his servants into the dance floor to dance, leaving only Auguste by his side. In the cheerful dance music province, he said straight to the point: "I will not accept any proposal from you unless you convince me with facts." I."

"What fact?" asked August.

Edward smiled and looked at the dancing men and women in the arena. After finishing the low-alcohol fruit wine in the glass, August immediately filled it up for him.

"In the whole country, there are many traitors who try to usurp power, but before they take the first step, His Majesty will be strangled in the cradle." He looked at August, "What about you, how far can you go? ?”

"We are not traitors who want to usurp the throne, my lord." August put down the pure gold jug carved with various intricate patterns, and sat down on the steps at Edward's feet. "This is in line with history. Changes in development trends are extremely beneficial to both the royal family and the people. Therefore, we can go to the end, and only we can go to the end.”

"Really?" Edward chuckled, leaned back, as if he didn't want to talk anymore, "Go to the dance, maybe this is the last dance you can attend."

"Oh, come on, my most honorable Highness." August laughed. "Your Excellency Aubrey would like to meet you very much. He is the cousin of Lord Willimon, a member of the front bench of the Wild Cabinet."

Edward looked at August, who stood up and made a gesture to the crowd. Soon, a tall man came to Edward and bowed.

The current opposition party is the Liberal Party, which, in contrast to the Conservative Party, which is almost composed of aristocrats, is mostly composed of civilians.Since the Liberal Party has such a background, it is not surprising that it joins forces with the Doherty Federal Republic to try to overthrow the aristocratic rule.

Edward moved his fingers, as if fiddled with the air, and said, "Happy New Year, sir, let's go dancing."

The Crown Prince's words made His Excellency Aubrey a little at a loss. He glanced at August secretly, not knowing that he should listen to the Crown Prince's words and step down from time to time.

Edward stuffed the wine glass into August's hand, lowered his body, and said softly: "It's just a small character who came out of nowhere and has a relationship with the congressman, do you want to use such a person to convince me? If you have control of the entire Liberal Party, then please get the head of the Liberal Party to come and speak to me in person. If not, then please get the top one."

After speaking, he stood up and walked into the dance floor. The orc man closest to him immediately saluted him and backed away, giving him his place.

Aubrey, who only had a word with the crown prince, moved closer to August: "What does His Highness mean? Is he willing to help us?"

"He will. It's good for him to be more cautious about such a big matter, which shows that the one who cooperates with us is not an idiot." August stood up while holding his hand, and took two steps to put the wine glass into the servant's chest When he turned around, there was already an innocent and cheerful expression on his face: "Want to dance, Your Excellency Aubrey?"

The dance floor is now a slow-paced aristocratic group dance. Edward has long remembered every step of this group dance as instinctively.

The Liberal Party and the Conservative Party have always been tit-for-tat, and each represents a different interest group, so there is no possibility of cooperation.The Liberal Party now belongs to the power group that August belongs to, so the Conservative Party can only follow closely behind the king. After all, if the king is in power, even if the power is completely withdrawn, he still has money and a title.Therefore, the only thing he can fight for now is the Conservative Party.

But even if it is the Conservative Party, not everyone can cooperate. After all, another collaborator of the Conservative Party is His Majesty the King who is in power.If you want to win the support of the Conservative Party against the king, you can only split him.This is not difficult, even if it is the same party, for the position of the cabinet, for the front seat before the speech, and for the position of the leader, there are undercurrents.

Now, the most difficult thing for Edward to deal with is the problem of the army.If you want the Conservative Party to follow him and William, you have to come up with enough strength to negotiate with them.But now he has neither money nor connections, how can he form an army and buy energy cannons?

At this time, the song ended and everyone returned to two rows, saluting each other to their dance partners. Edward sighed in his heart and retracted his thoughts. Only then did he realize that standing in front of him was an affectionate Tang Brother, Marquis Condra.
