The King's Follower [Rebirth]

Two days later, after packing up, the Crown Prince officially set off for Aisha City.This trip does not need to be like returning to the capital during the midsummer and new year holidays every year, slowly crossing half of the empire to show the people the demeanor of the Lancaster family and the crown prince.The crown prince and his party directly took the flying beast, set off at noon, and arrived at Aisha City the next night.

The manor of Marquis Condela is called Hyacinth Manor, which was the dowry of Marquis Condela’s great-grandmother. The space of this deceased sub-orc old lady cultivated the blue hyacinth with the purest color in the entire empire, and this blue hyacinth Xinzi was born in this manor, so he changed his name to this.

In order to better fit its own name, the manor is decorated with patterns and carvings of hyacinths everywhere. The railings and walls of the castle are covered with hyacinths carved from various gemstones, which are colorful and well-proportioned. A large sea of ​​gemstones forms a huge hyacinth wreath pattern, and in the middle of the wreath is the family crest given to Grand Duke Condela by the king. This crest means that Grand Duke Condela is a family independent of the Lancastrian royal family .Looking from a distance from the sky, the whole manor seems to be sprinkled with crushed rainbows, colorful and sparkling in the setting sun, which is particularly in sync with the dressing style of its owner, the Marquis Condela, when he is not wearing a military uniform.

Edward sat by the car window, glanced down, and quickly turned his eyes away.The sun is shining brightly today, with such a shining majesty, it is really tiring to look at.The Marquis Condra didn't know what the crown prince was thinking, and drove the flying beast to run alongside the crown prince's carriage. He took off his hat, looked at the crown prince in the carriage, and asked proudly, "Your Highness, do you like this manor?"

"Very beautiful." Edward avoided the question.But Marquis Condela thought that Edward liked it, so he immediately smiled and said, "If you like it, how about I give it to you?"

"You are very generous," Edward said mildly, "but it would be my fault if I accepted your generosity for it. I don't want people to think that the crown prince is a miser who wants to win people's love."

"Oh, don't say that!" Marquis Condra yelled, "Who would blame a suborc for accepting a suitor's gift?"

Edward closed his eyes, and the smile on his face suddenly froze. August, who was sitting by the side, said understandingly: "Marquis Condra, in order not to embarrass Your Highness, please remember to be cautious in your words and deeds."

However, Marquis Condela's ability to see people's faces and act on them is not even one-tenth of August's. After hearing what August said, he immediately raised his chin, snorted, and said: "August Your Excellency, you are His Royal Highness's servant, although I don't want to argue with you too much, but I have to remind you that you can't stop others from complaining to His Highness just because His Highness reprimanded His Highness..."

"Matthew!" Edward called out loudly, "If I remember correctly, there should be an earl of the Sutherland family living here. What is the earl's name?"

"It's Earl Ahmed, Your Highness." Matthew raised his voice, "The grandfather of the current Earl Ahmed and my father's great-grandfather are brothers."

So Edward continued to talk with Matthew along this topic, leaving Marquis Condra outside the window aside, and ignored it.August smiled at Marquis Condela with sarcasm, and then turned his head and joined the conversation.Marquis Kondra grabbed the flying beast awkwardly and returned to the team.

Hyacinth Manor has long been fully prepared for the arrival of the crown prince.After driving for a day and a half, I really didn't have any extra energy in the evening to sit and hold the dinner in formal attire. Everyone had evening classes in their rooms, and then enjoyed dinner in their rooms, tidied up their rooms a little, and then Wash and change, ready to rest.

The room that the Marquis Condra prepared for the crown prince was the largest and most luxuriously decorated suite in the entire manor. This suite was originally his own bedroom, but when the crown prince visited, how could his room be better than the crown prince’s, and he would make his own The bedroom is dedicated to the Crown Prince, which is a great tribute to the Crown Prince.

In order to impress the Crown Prince, the Marquess Condra asked the servants of the manor to redecorate the bedroom before Edward set off.So when Edward moved in, the whole room was glittering like the garden downstairs, the floor, walls, ceiling, curtains, sofa, dressing table, curtains of the gauze bed, lampshades, and even small cushions for cups , are decorated with layers of complex patterns, every flower is lifelike, every leaf is lifelike, and every stamen is so delicate that Edward is dazzled, dizzy, and nervous.And when he was resting on the bed at night, even if he closed his eyes, the dense patterns around him could pass through the eyelids and press into his brain, making him sleepless at all.

But what made him even more unbearable was the strong orc smell in the room.The orc smell wasn't actually bad, on the contrary, it was actually very nice.Marquis Condra is a healthy, high-ranking young orc. The smell from his body is full of powerful and heavy aura for underage sub-orcs. It makes people feel very at ease when smelling it, and it actually helps sleep. Effect.However, although Edward is not yet an adult, he has already been an adult in his previous life, so he can naturally smell the deeper meaning emanating from the beastman's bloodline because of the beast's courtship instinct:

I am in good health, my body is strong, my stamina is good, my fertility is strong, come and mate with me!

The Marquis of Condra hasn't lived in Hyacinth Manor for some time. The smell is obvious, so it must be done on purpose.

So Edward got up, cursed secretly, put on his nightgown, and left the bedroom.All the servants had already fallen asleep, and only two servants were guarding Edward's room. Seeing that Edward had gotten up, he hurriedly took off the light-proof lampshade covering the night pearl candlestick to illuminate the whole room, and asked, "What do you need?" ?”

Edward waved his hand and said, "I just can't sleep, just walk around casually, don't follow me."

Outside the suite were guards guarding the night, and Edward didn't let them follow. The manor was full of guards, and it was impossible for anything to happen.In the corridor, the night pearls embedded on the wall drove away the darkness, but the light was weak, neither making people unable to see things clearly, nor being as dazzling and bright as daytime.Edward wrapped himself in a white silk nightgown embroidered with gold patterns. These gold patterns are not ordinary decorative patterns, but magic circles that keep warm.The loose hem of his clothes fluttered behind him, and Edward raised his head to look at his own reflection on the tall glass window, a white mass, like a ghost floating in the castle.

He was amused by his own association, and immediately behind his own shadow on the glass window, he saw a pair of green eyes floating out from behind the porch.

Edward was startled, and then realized that they should be the eyes of an orc. Looking back, William was hugging the pillars of the porch, looking at him with his head poked. Seeing him turn around, he murmured: "Good evening, Your Highness. "

Edward beckoned to him, and William, who was wearing a thick nightgown and fluffy cotton slippers on his feet, immediately pulled the slippers and ran to stand in front of him.

"Why don't you go to bed?" He rubbed William's fluffy black hair, felt the length, and immediately felt that William should have his hair trimmed.

William groaned twice, then lowered his head, spit out the contents of his mouth in his hand, and the saliva flowed out immediately, he quickly covered his mouth full of saliva with the other hand, and took two steps back, While wiping his mouth with his sleeve in a panic, he repeatedly apologized: "I'm sorry, Your Highness..." Then he explained weakly, "I didn't stay awake on purpose, I just couldn't sleep."

Edward burst out laughing.After the New Year, Edward immediately hired a pediatrician for William to correct William’s habit of biting the pacifier. The doctor actually didn’t have any good advice. After many children grow up, the habit of biting the pacifier disappears naturally, and it really remains. There are not many who reach teenage years or even adulthood, and unfortunately, William is one of them.So the doctor thought of a way and made a mouthguard for William.

There is such a thing in his mouth, William can't open his mouth, and he can't make a sucking action. The anti-cavity medicine is applied to the mouthguard, which can also help maintain oral hygiene.But when I first took it, it was really uncomfortable, and it would cause drooling because I was not used to it.

Edward touched his pocket, took out a handkerchief, took two steps forward, knelt down in front of William, took away his hand covering his mouth, wiped his chin carefully, and wiped his hands clean again. While wiping, he said, "What are you hiding? Are you afraid that I will despise you?" Seeing William smiled embarrassedly, he said, "Why haven't you gotten used to it yet? Could it be that you haven't slept well all this time?"

William shook his head: "No, I was almost used to it in Hull before, but now I suddenly changed to another place. I was a bit sleepy, and I was wearing a mouthguard, so I couldn't sleep."

Edward wiped his saliva and was about to put away his handkerchief when William snatched the handkerchief over in a panic and said, "Dirty..."

Edward stood up and patted his head: "I can't sleep either. Go to the study and read a book for a while. I will read you poems. Every time you listen to me read poems, you will fall asleep in a while."

"I, I..." William blushed, "I didn't mean to..."

"I know, I know," Edward took his hand, walked downstairs slowly, asked the guards on guard in the stairwell, found the public study room in the manor, and picked out a collection of poems.Without the supervision of Mrs. Pelmet, Edward was a little lazy, and lay down on the couch by the window with William, hugged him in his arms, flipped through it, and began to read.

Edward seldom read while lying down like this, and he soon felt a little sore with his hands raised, and his neck was also a little stiff because of the incorrect posture. Soon he couldn't help but put down the book, tilted his head back, and relaxed his neck.Why Aisha, what he was about to do, these things suddenly came to his mind again, causing Edward to heave a long sigh.

"Your Highness, do you want to sleep?" William propped himself up and sat up.

Edward closed his eyes and shook his head: "It's just that the neck is a little sore." After finishing speaking, he spread the book again, "Come on, let's continue."

William carefully observed Edward's expression, but finally asked, "Your Highness, do you like dragons?"

"Of course." Edward said, "The Lancaster family is a dragon family. As a descendant of the Lancaster family, how could I not like dragons?"

"However, the dragon's body is covered with scales, and it is not soft to the touch at all. It is not as comfortable as the animal shape of Mr. Matthew."

"Some people like fluff, but some people like scales." Edward pinched his nose and shook, "Why, envy Matthew for having hair, but don't like your own scales?"

"No, I'm just worried that you don't like it." The nose was pinched, and William's voice became humming.

"Don't worry, I like whatever you look like." Edward let go of William's red nose, which had been pinched by himself, and nodded his nose, "Why do you like fluff, everyone wants to have a suit of scales. "Orcs with scale armor are usually more talented than orcs with fur surfaces, and the scale armor has stronger defensive capabilities.

William seemed to be sitting next to Edward full of thoughts, his body swayed gently, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he suddenly jumped off the sofa and turned into a beast.

The short-legged and round little silver dragon uttered "Ang Chi Aang Chi" twice, and then started to play around in circles on the ground chasing its tail.He only heard a few slight cracking sounds, and then saw a few silk threads hanging from the barb on the tail of the little silver dragon, and several obvious scratches appeared on the expensive carpet under his feet.The little silver dragon stiffened immediately, his tail stood straight behind him, and the barb at the tip of the tail trembled slightly.

Edward laughed again. He sat up and touched the top of William's smooth head. There are now two protrusions. When he grows up, two sharp spiral horns will grow here: "Why do you want to become a beast all of a sudden? Are you in shape?"

William let out a "chirp" from his throat, and then explained, "I, I don't think you are very happy..."

"So you want to make me happy with the beast shape?" Edward continued his words.William nodded, "It turns out that in the village, they all make the orc people happy like this..."

Gently flicking the hooked silk thread off the sharp barb at the tip of the little silver dragon's tail, Edward felt as if his heart had fallen into a piece of the softest down. He had heard before that in ordinary people's homes, orcs would use His own animal shape pleases his partner, because their animal shape is not so big and will not break the whole house. That was once the straightforward expression of emotion he envied most.

Edward's heart was so touched that it seemed to be melting. He patted William on the back and said, "Come on, don't you want to make me happy? Come, let me give you a good hug."

This was the first time he had observed an orc's animal form so closely.Like scales polished with the purest silver that tightly cover the body of the little silver dragon, the scales on the back are relatively large, with smooth surfaces and graceful arcs, like exquisite decorations, and at the frequently moving joints, The scales gradually become smaller, and finally they are as fine as silver powder, and the moonlight falls on them and is broken into shimmering fragments.

Edward stroked William's body curiously and carefully, like a fragile treasure, feeling the almost imperceptible edges of the scales with his fingertips, from the top of the head to the tip of the tail.

William moved uncomfortably. When Edward's fingertips touched his side waist, he couldn't help bouncing his whole body. He tilted his feet and fell on the sofa, laughing: " It itches!"

Edward immediately pursued the victory, scratching William's exposed abdomen: "Aren't there scales? Why are you still ticklish?"

William laughed, and twisted his body vigorously to avoid Edward's fingers. His tail didn't pay attention, and with a squeak, another deep gash was drawn on the sofa.He immediately stiffened his body, his eyes puffed out, and his face looked terrified.

"It's okay." Edward touched his stomach and comforted him, "I will pay the Marquis Condela at that time."

William carefully turned over and leaned against Edward's side: "Stop making trouble." He lightly touched Edward's leg with his front paw, "Be careful not to hurt you."

"Okay." Edward patted his head, thought for a while, increased the strength of his fingers, and began to scratch William's chin.William just dodged for a while, and soon his body softened. He stepped back and scratched a few times unconsciously, and the little wings on his back flapped comfortably a few times, making a humming sound from his throat, which sounded very comfortable.

The touch of the scales is not as soft as it looks, but it is not prickly.Edward scratched along William's back and finally landed on his stomach.William squinted his eyes, looking sleepy, his head gradually rested on Edward's lap, and finally, most of his body was huddled in Edward's arms.

Edward felt that his hands were a little tired, so he stopped and hugged Xiao Yinlong, and closed his eyes.In the middle of sleeping, I suddenly felt that my thumb was bitten by someone, but it didn't hurt, so I didn't take it to heart, and continued to sleep.

The next day, Edward was awakened by the loud gasping sound of the valet.As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the little silver dragon sleeping on all fours in his arms, holding his arm with two short front paws, with his thumb in his mouth, drooling all over his hand.

"I'm a bit resigned." Edward explained calmly, pulled out his thumb very naturally, and woke up the little silver dragon.

When William opened his eyes, he didn't seem to have figured out where he was. He lay on his back for a few seconds, then jumped up suddenly, his long tail flicked a big arc in the air, and landed on the sofa. He made a straight cut, and then swept all the things on the small table next to the sofa to the ground.

Marquis Condela, who just entered the door, opened his mouth wide: "..."

"Sorry, Cousin Charlie." Edward wrapped his pajamas calmly, "I will pay you back, including your carpet."

"It's okay." Marquis Condra closed his mouth, "It's not a big deal. Speaking of which, His Excellency William is really lively."

Edward smiled slightly: "Who made us brothers."

Marquis Condela opened his mouth and did not speak, but his eyes were full of disapproval.

Edward knew why. For them, William was an illegitimate child after all, and the description of "brother" was not very appropriate.

But Edward ignored him, just nodded towards him, and said, "Today is really rude." Then he took the servants back to the room to change clothes.
