The King's Follower [Rebirth]

The next day was Sunday, and everyone had to go to church, which just happened to facilitate Edward's meeting with Sir Knightley, the leader of the Liberal Party.In order to avoid giving people any excuses, before Edward arrived at Aisha, Sir Knightley took his wife to Aisha's Lincheng to visit friends, and happened to return to the city on the day the family of his servants arrived at Aisha, due to the short-lived etiquette He visited Edward, drank tea with a group of nobles in the living room of the conference, and left quickly.

This short visit can just pave the way for further contact today.As the crown prince, Edward naturally went to worship in Aisha's largest church. The nobles naturally couldn't choose other churches. Before the worship officially started, Sir Knightley, who didn't live in Hyacinth Manor, naturally had to come to the church first. The crown prince saluted and greeted him. With the previous communication, the conversation this time can naturally be further in-depth. Just find a topic, which makes "the crown prince and Sir Knightley and his wife have a very happy conversation", so there is an invitation to Sir Knightley to Hyacinth Manor and Crown Prince and High Tea grounds too.

August had already ventilated with Sir Knightley, and after Edward sat down in the front seat of Aisha Cathedral and talked with several local nobles and squires, Sir Knightley took his newly married His wife came to say hello to him.

In front of Edward, the couple, who were like grandparents and grandchildren, were constantly slandering, but still wished Sir Knightley a happy wedding with a smile on his face, and praised his wife's beauty and dressing taste.Sir Knightley happily thanked the crown prince for his blessing, and expressed his concern for the crown prince's health. After all, the crown prince's unhealed space is big news that the whole empire knows.

Edward thanked Sir Knightley for his concern, and hypocritically expressed his gratitude and touch to His Majesty the King for his care during his recovery period.At this moment, the lady who had been smiling shyly and hiding behind Sir Knightley like a flower suddenly spoke.

"Your Highness, my uncle's space has also been seriously injured." Her voice was neither loud nor low, not louder than normal communication, but it could be heard by people in front, back, left, and right, "The doctor is also helpless. He rested. After all, even in the entire continent, there are too few cases of serious injuries in space, and everything can only be explored by the patients. My uncle took a long time to recover. He knows the pain, so he specially summarized a lot experience. I don’t know your specific injury, but I think many of these experiences may be interlinked.”

Before Edward could react, William, who was sitting beside him, asked first, "Then do you know these experiences?"

Sir Knightley nodded: "Of course, although these experiences come from recuperation, they are also of great benefit to the cultivation and maintenance of space."

William immediately smiled and said to Edward: "Your Highness, would you like to invite Mrs. Knightley to have afternoon tea tomorrow?"

Edward was a little surprised, but also a little moved.In his room before dinner yesterday, he simplified and explained the current domestic intricacies to William. William is still young and has only received court education for less than a year. He doesn’t ask William to know these things well. Understand the situation the two of them are in now, who is their ally, who is their false enemy, and who is their opponent who doesn't even need to make superficial efforts.Edward just wanted William to understand the status quo, and he didn't need to worry about the rest. He just needed to practice hard and improve his level.But it seems that William doesn't want to hide behind Edward and enjoy the benefits. He is eager to get involved and do something for Edward.

William laughed twice when he saw Edward's realization. Edward curled his mouth, patted his head lightly, and said, "Thank you, dear." He looked at Sir Knightley again, "Then, Do you and Mrs. Zun have any arrangements for tomorrow afternoon?"

"If you count afternoon tea with you at Hyacinth Manor, then yes, we have arrangements," said Sir Knightley sarcastically.

Edward nodded: "Then it's settled."

The Sir took a step back with his wife, bowed deeply to Edward, then left and returned to his seat.

In the corners on both sides of the hall, there are steps leading to the second and third floors of the auditorium. The second and third floors of the auditorium are just a corridor, which was originally built to increase the height of the church and bear the weight of the vault. .Now, when an extremely important and grand mass is held, the whole city will crowd into the Aisha Cathedral, and the first floor cannot hold the whole city's people, and many people can only stand in the corridors on the second and third floors.Unexpectedly, these two corridors played the role of evacuating the crowd.

Now, behind the pillars of the corridor on the third floor, a thin figure can be seen faintly.He carefully hid his body behind the pillars, and only poked his head out a little, looking at the seats in the front row on the first floor.The third floor is already very high from the ground. Today the church is only holding ordinary rest day services, and the first floor is not full. No one will go to the empty corridor, except him.

Soon, a second person appeared in the corridor.The man heard footsteps, looked back at him, and continued to look down.

"Bryant." Bishop Idris, who was wearing a full set of bishop's uniform, walked behind the man. Today he is here to preside over the service in person. He also wanted to take a look, sighed, and said, "It's so far away. Can you see clearly?"

Bryant forced a smile: "The nobles from the royal capital have all come to Aisha. Many of them are old acquaintances with me. I can't get too close. Actually, it's okay. Although the distance is a bit far, But I can still see clearly." He looked at Edward who was talking with the people around him for a moment, and sighed softly: "He is too thin and his face is too pale. Among so many people, I am I saw his face at a glance, it was as white as snow, without a trace of blood, it made people uncomfortable."

Bishop Idris didn't persuade him to go down, and stood with him for a while, and finally patted him on the shoulder: "You have to be careful, don't stay here for too long. The service is about to start, so I'm going down."

Bryant waved his hands absent-mindedly, his eyes still fixed on Edward.

Below, Edward, who was sitting in the front row, frowned suddenly, and felt a sense of being peeped and disturbed in his back.As the crown prince, he has been the focus of attention since he was a child, and he rarely feels uneasy because of other people's gazes and gazes. It's just that this time is different from the previous ones. Cool and malicious, but warm as if the sun at noon in midsummer had stabbed the skin, making people quite uncomfortable.Edward looked around calmly, but found nothing unusual.

"Your Highness, what's the matter with you?" William asked.

"Nothing." Edward smiled.Others just look at it, his guards are distributed throughout Aisha City, and there are heavy guards inside and outside the church, even if someone has evil intentions, they will definitely not be able to hurt him.

The feeling of being watched lasted until the end of the service, which disturbed Edward a little at first, but Bishop Idris was very eloquent, quoting from many sources, his rhetoric was beautiful but not obscure, and his voice was deep and elegant. Listening to his lecture was simply a joy. This kind of enjoyment, Edward's attention was completely devoted to it, and soon he no longer cared about the gaze that came from nowhere.

After the service, Edward deliberately stayed for a while and talked with Bishop Idris for a while.Bishop Idris is very accomplished in theology and has published many articles. He is not yet 30 years old this year, but he is already the local archbishop, and the cardinals of the county have always regarded him as his heir .Edward chatted with him very happily, and invited him to come to Hyacinth Manor frequently during this time.Bishop Idris readily agreed and personally sent the crown prince out.

Halfway through, he suddenly said: "The auditorium of Aisha Cathedral used to enshrine the remains of St. Hilde, but recently the golden coffin containing the remains was damaged, so the remains of St. Hilde were taken away." It was transferred to a sarcophagus, and it will be moved back after the golden coffin is repaired. Now this sarcophagus is placed in the chapel of the church. The chapel is currently closed to the public. If you are interested, I would like to take you there to see it look."

Edward readily agreed.So everyone diverted to the chapel from the wing corridors on both sides of the church.The chapel is small in size, but the ceiling and walls are covered with lifelike murals, and there are exquisite patterns everywhere. It seems that this chapel is a VIP room specially prepared for nobles, and the sarcophagus containing the remains of saints It is placed at the very front, surrounded by a circle of flowers.

Edward came to the sarcophagus, knelt down on one knee, supported the edge of the sarcophagus with one hand, and drew a simple golden ring dragon logo on his chest with the other hand. The attendants behind him also knelt on one knee, A golden ring dragon is drawn on the chest.

Edward paused for a moment before getting up.Saint Hilde is a sub-orc priest who made great contributions in the Great Patriotic War 800 years ago. He used his own space to discover many new varieties of herbs, and selflessly gave these herbs to others , his kindness and strength conquered the entire continent. After his death, the church proclaimed him a saint and enshrined his remains.

Looking at the sarcophagus, Edward suddenly realized that he hadn't calmed down for a long time, prayed earnestly, and communicated with God, and now was an excellent opportunity.Immediately he expressed his desire to be alone in the hospital, and had everyone exit the chapel.

After the cutscene was cleared, Edward knelt down beside the sarcophagus, with his forehead against the cold sarcophagus official, closed his eyes, moved his lips slightly, and began to pray.

And just beside the sarcophagus, in the large cabinet containing the mass utensils, Bryant tightly covered his mouth, staring at Edward's humble figure, his eyes were red.
