The King's Follower [Rebirth]

The crown prince kicked everyone out of the chapel on the grounds that he wanted to discuss theological issues with Bishop Idris, but after only a few minutes of "discussion", the crown prince pushed the door out with a frosty face, without saying anything, and just said Back home, he locked himself in the room, and no one was allowed to enter the house, even his favorite William couldn't knock on his door.

No one knew what happened in the chapel during those few minutes. All kinds of unimaginable speculations were flying in the panic. Someone proposed to arrest Bishop Idris, but there was neither an order from the crown prince nor With an arrest warrant issued by the government, no one is qualified to arrest a legitimate citizen, especially if this person is a clergyman.

William was very worried, and Elizabeth and Matthew stopped him when he tried to break in several times.Everyone has been gathering outside the door to make noise, so that Edward had to open the door to appease everyone's emotions.The huge shock that the news that his biological father was still alive brought to his mental state at the first moment has gradually subsided and calmed down over time. Already able to control his expression, he responded to everyone's concern and greetings with his usual calm and gentleness. Finally, after everyone finally calmed down, he once again emphasized his desire to be alone, and then closed the door.

Except for the guards and servants on duty, everyone gradually dispersed, leaving only William. He was still worried about Edward. Although Edward's smile was as gentle as usual, through the standard expression mask exclusive to the crown prince, he could See Edward's deeply hidden distraught and sad disappointment.It made him feel like he couldn't just leave Edward alone.

"William?" Stephen shook William's hand, "Let's go, Your Highness won't let us stay here."

William patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "Go back first, I want to stay a little longer, in case His Highness needs someone to go in later."

Stephen pursed his lips tightly, with a faint angry expression on his face, and finally he lowered his voice and said, "It's not that there are no one else here! If His Royal Highness wants someone to serve you, he only needs to ring the bell, and there will be a bunch of people waiting for you!" People rush in, there is no shortage of you!"

William scratched his head: "I know, I'm just a little worried."

Stephen's cheeks puffed up angrily and turned red: "Do you...do you think, think that I am not worthy to be your brother anymore!"

William looked at him in surprise, and found that the guards and servants in the corridor were looking at the two of them curiously, and hurriedly pulled Stephen away to the small balcony between the porch and the porch, "Why do you say that? He held his younger brother by the shoulders, "Did someone say something bad to you?" His tone became angry, "Who is stirring up the relationship between our brothers, tell me, I will definitely beat you up Eat him up!"

Stephen shook his head: "No one said anything to me, it is obvious after all. Although we are all illegitimate children, you are the son of His Majesty the King, the brother of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and I am just the illegitimate son of an ordinary guard. In this way Who would think that I am worthy to be your brother!" Without waiting for William to argue, he continued, "I'm afraid you think so too. We lived together for nine years before, and it's only been a few days since you returned to the palace. But now, after being separated for so long, I finally came to see you, but you don't even want to accompany me, all you think about is your prince brother, you no longer regard me as yours brother!"

"I didn't!" William hurriedly explained, "Didn't I spend all my spare time with you these few days? Now it's because His Highness is in a very bad state and I'm worried about him. And His Highness has promised me I want to keep you, so we brothers can always be together in the future. So what are you fussing about?"

Stephen bit his lips tightly, breathing rapidly, his small chest heaved violently, and finally he shook off William's hand, turned around and ran away with big strides.William quickly caught up with him and stopped him: "What happened to you today?"

"The noble Lord William Lancaster doesn't want to stay with his humble half-brother, what else can I do, of course, I can only leave quickly, so as not to get in his eyes!" Stephen's voice choked, his big green eyes Full of tears, looking angry and pitiful.

William was having a headache, but he also knew that because it was just a product of his mother's confusion and fascination in a period of confusion, Stephen was not very liked by his mother since he was a child, so his personality was more sensitive and suspicious than ordinary orcs.And because he didn't know about William's life experience before, William was still a little psychologically prepared for the sudden changes in his family half a year ago. Stephen was really frightened by these huge changes, and the two brothers separated immediately. He came to Somerset with the crown prince, but one was left in the capital, living in the hands of uncles and aunts he had never met.Now that the brothers are reunited, Stephen is afraid that he will be abandoned by his brother and become more clingy, which is justified.And as an elder brother, he should really protect his younger brother.

He looked back at the door of the crown prince's room, then at his younger brother who was about to cry, finally sighed, rumpled Stephen's hair as before, and said, "Let's go, let's go to your Let’s play in the room for a while.” But he thought in his heart that he would find an excuse to visit Edward secretly later.

In the room, Edward sat slumped on the sofa, staring at the newly inserted bottle of hyacinth on the table, feeling depressed and exhausted all over his body.

He is still alive.His own biological father, he is still alive.

For this news, Edward didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.After learning of his real life experience, Edward once imagined that maybe his parents were still alive, maybe he could find a chance to get out of this chaotic situation, in a remote town far away from the center of the whirlpool, As soon as he looked up, he suddenly saw his parents on the opposite side of the road. They might cry, and then they would be together as a family, forgetting everything about the past, just like the normal families he once wanted most, ordinary and warm living together.

The fact is, however, that one of his parents is dead and the other has remarried and is about to become a second father.

Edward felt that he should feel lucky. After all, at least one of his parents survived. At least the other parent found his own happiness and reorganized his family. He would also have a real brother who was connected by blood.He thought he would be very sad if he confirmed the news that both parents were dead, or that Bryant was doing very badly, destitute and precarious.So now he should feel lucky and happy with this result.

He also felt that he should understand all this.Bryant was hunted down by the Arbros family. He could not get close to the capital, nor could he get close to Somerset. He could not join the nobles of the upper class. He could only hide among the people. If he rushed to Hull Castle recklessly To see myself, the final result is likely to be a dead end.What's more, the queen can't bear children, so she can only treat herself carefully as her own child, and the crown prince doesn't live with the king and queen. In William's words, his original life trajectory is naturally to inherit the throne and rule the country. Isn't this better than being a child of ordinary civilians?

But in fact, Edward neither felt happy nor wanted to understand.And on the contrary, he felt sad, very sad, sad to wronged, sad to resentful, sad to angry.

Just now in Aisha Cathedral, looking at his tearful father, his first reaction was not to rush over and hug him, father and son recognize each other, but to question.He wanted to ask him, in his last life, he was raised by the king and queen for 22 years without knowing anything. Where has he been for these 22 years?Where was he when he was taken away from the royal capital by the queen, tossed around among the rebels, and was looked down upon and humiliated?Where was he when he was captured by the king's army, imprisoned in the Black Tower, and sentenced to hang?Is he and his new husband, a businessman named Ralph or something, happily living his life in Aisha, having a bunch of children, and only worrying about how to raise the children every day, and three meals a day recipes and how to entertain their neighbors, and then occasionally woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, thinking that I still have a child, I couldn’t help but feel sad and sad, couldn’t help crying, and then gradually calmed down under the comforting voice of my husband Get down, continue to sleep, wake up the next day, and forget the sadness of last night.

That's ridiculous.If I hadn't come to Ai Xia, would I have been unable to see each other until I died like in the last life?Now that I have left me in the past and started my new life, what identity, what position, and what mood do you use to come to me now, pretending to be a gesture, and pretending to be a father-son love performance?

Edward closed his eyes, only to feel the pain in his chest.He thought he would cry, but now he didn't have any urge to cry.He just felt tears, and was so tired that he just wanted to find a corner to lie down for a while, he didn't want to see anyone, he didn't want to talk to anyone, he emptied his mind, didn't think about anything, just lay quietly like this until he had the strength to sit up, Put on the mask again, put on the battle robe, and continue to fight for yourself and for William.

He just slumped on the sofa like this, motionless, as if he was about to melt.In the huge room, there were only the sound of his shallow breathing, the sound of the wind blowing through the room and pulling the curtains, and the faint sound of footsteps and talking from outside the room.

Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of rustling.Edward sat up reluctantly, looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a small hand stretched into the window frame, followed by a small black head. Finally, with a light turn, William turned over Passed through the window frame and landed silently on the thickly carpeted floor, and met Edward's gaze as soon as he raised his head, and couldn't help grinning, showing a smirk: "That...Your Highness, I am very sorry I was worried, so I came in to see you..."
