The King's Follower [Rebirth]

After finishing his vacation in Aisha, the crown prince returned to Somerset with everyone.With Countess Permette, Hull Castle has not changed since Edward left. The servants and guards replaced by the assassination of the crown prince stood at the gate of the castle to welcome the return of the crown prince as usual, and the servants were in dire straits. His study life resumed under the supervision of the stern Countess Permetre.But after adjusting for a long time, life went back to the way it used to be, almost unchanged.

But it was only almost, because the crown prince's favorite people changed from William and August to Idris, the personal priest he brought back from Aisha.In order to avoid suspicion, the crown prince seldom gets along with Bishop Idris alone in a closed space, but everyone knows that this talented priest is the crown prince's admirer and the crown prince's future lover who has been appointed by default.

The crown prince is underage, so he has never been involved in such scandals. Now that he went to Aisha once, he brought back an official lover. This kind of explosive sex news immediately added extra excitement to the ordinary life in Hull Castle. The seasoning, the whole castle is much more alive because of this rare gossip.

Except William.

Seeing the Crown Prince and Bishop Idris walking side by side in front of him, William gritted his back teeth. He wished he could transform into a beast and pounce on this despicable orc's neck.But he can't, even if he can, he can't beat it.Bishop Idris is not a weak sub-orc priest. Although he has never confessed his level, the faint pressure from the other party shows that the other party's strength is far superior to his own.Moreover, although Edward didn't reveal too much, William knew that Bishop Idris was not only a priest who solved Edward's belief problems, but an ally who helped him accomplish great things.Although Bishop Idris is annoying, he can indeed do a lot of things that he can't. Just because of this, he can't have any conflicts with the other party and affect Edward.So he can only endure, there is no other way.

Regardless of the power represented by Idris and the true meaning of the surname Green, it is still very refreshing to have an in-depth exchange with such a priest who has profound theological insights.As long as he doesn't consider too many practical issues, Edward feels that with Idris by his side, life is indeed fulfilling and enjoyable.Of course, he did not ignore William. He could see that William had a lot of hostility towards Idris, but he kept it in check. This made him lament that William had grown up a lot, and feel sorry for him at the same time, but he It's true that Idris can't be left out for William, but he can only compensate him a lot.

So when they came from the path in the garden, where only two could go abreast, to the road, Edward stopped, stretched his hand back, and drew William to his side.The resentment that the little orc had just stared at the backs of the two of them was too strong for him to ignore.

However, what he didn't know was that his behavior made William even more depressed, because he clearly felt that when facing Idris, Edward's attitude was facing an adult who could get along with each other as an equal and cooperate together. When facing him, he was facing an ignorant child, especially the elder brother's pampering tenderness to his younger brother, which made William feel ashamed and indignant.

He clearly agreed that he would become the most powerful orc and protect His Highness well.William hung his head unhappy, listening to Edward and Idris happily talking about another theological issue beside him, his heart seemed to be blocked by a stone, cold and hard.

Besides William, there was another person who was as depressed as him, and that was the Marquis Condela.The crown prince has never been particularly close to any adult orc. This is the basis for him to feel that he is expected to marry the crown prince. However, now there is an orc who can be with the crown prince in a fair and honest way. This scene is like a knife, deeply pierced On his heart!Although this person's identity predestined that he would never become the king's husband, but!He loved His Royal Highness so deeply, how could he be willing to see another orc share the same partner with him? !

Having been transferred to Somerset, Marquess Condra and Major General Condra, who became one of the three county army commanders under Admiral Georgiana, is gearing up to teach Idris a lesson. A toad that eats swan meat.

William didn't know that he had an ally against Idris, and he was sad for several days, and now he finally regained his strength.I can't provide much help to Edward. At this time, the objective fact exists, no matter how sad he is, he can't change it. The decadent state caused by this will actually distract Edward from him, and he originally didn't want Edward to worry about himself. too much.

Idris is a powerful adult orc. When I was a minor, I couldn't match him in terms of force, but I could provide Edward with help within my ability in other places.This is the solution that William came up with after being decadent for a few days.

William thought of his long-lost great-uncle, Sir Orlando.He had heard the conversation between the two, and knew that Edward wanted to win over Sir Orlando, and transferred Sir Orlando to Somerset under the pretext of being his own teacher.Edward couldn't move his hand to mobilize Sir Orlando now, and William felt that he might be able to start from here and help Edward push.

So he began to write to Sir Orlando.

Even though William knew almost nothing about politics, he took the time to think carefully and carefully, and he could understand that rashly asking the king to transfer Sir Orlando to his side would only make the king wary.He understood that he couldn't ask the king directly, but William didn't know what to do next.After holding back for two days, William decided to ask Elizabeth for help.The king seems not to want to have too much contact with the Letterman family, but as a half-orphan whose mother died young and his father is not around, after spending time with Aisha, he has a feeling for the members of his mother's family. For the sake of intimacy, and considering the king's arrangement, I don't know what to do. This reason should sound fine.

So William asked Elizabeth for help with this excuse.Elizabeth didn't know that under the peaceful life, the undercurrent among several forces was raging. After careful consideration, she came to the conclusion that William could write to Sir Orlando first, letting out some rumors that he liked his uncle and grandfather very much. requirements to lay the groundwork.

"Your Majesty is your father after all, so he will naturally consider you." Elizabeth said, "He doesn't want you to have more contact with the Letterman family. He may be worried that you will lose your mother's protection and be used by them. But if there is someone who really cares about you and can help you, His Majesty the King will be happy to see it."

So William finally found a way he could help Edward.Under Elizabeth's guidance, he began to write letters to Sir Orlando.He was not afraid that Elizabeth would know what he wrote in the letter. After all, his letter was sent from Somerset to the capital. King's vigilance.

Edward soon learned of William's little tricks, and being moved, he also called William over and sorted out the content of the communication and the progress and steps of the plan for him.This time, William no longer just listened carefully to what Edward said, but also began to share his understanding and thinking with Edward.

Seeing William grow up from an ignorant child, Edward was both sad and relieved. The relief was naturally because of William's growth, and the sadness was lamenting that William would get involved in these struggles at a young age.However, as the future crown prince, William will never be able to live a carefree life like ordinary children.Knowing this, Edward felt a lot more gratified, and he felt much happier.

Idris saw that Edward was in a good mood these days, thought of how inseparable Edward and William were in Somerset during this period, and thought of the task assigned by Ralph, so he tested Edward's attitude towards Bryant. I feel that after leaving Aisha, Edward's affection for his biological father has increased, so he found a time for the two of them to be alone, and revealed William's true identity to Edward.

However, to his surprise, Edward already knew William's identity.Indeed, who would have thought that a person would help another person take his place without asking for anything in return.Unlike August, Idris had a rebirth experience, and he couldn't be more shocked by Edward's selfless dedication.

"Are you crazy?" He didn't know how to react. "Have you ever thought about how William will treat you if he inherits the throne? Don't look at him now. It's because he is still young , and because you don’t know that you are the crown prince, when he grows up and learns his father’s cruelty, cunning and cunning, what should you do at that time? Do you expect him to repay you?”

Edward raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "I know you don't trust William, and you don't understand what I'm doing. I don't want to, and there's no need to explain too much to you." Naturally, such things as rebirth cannot be announced, And other reasons couldn't be found suitable at all, and Edward didn't intend to bother about this kind of thing.

"You just need to understand one thing," Edward said slowly but firmly, "everything I do is for William to inherit the throne smoothly and safely. There is no room for bargaining. I cannot accept the crown. I No one is allowed to covet what belongs to William. You can tell your brother Ralph Green that the only reward I can give him is the title of duke and one of the 28 highest military commanders in the empire. The rest, let Don't think too much about it. It's a big deal, I will tell His Majesty the king everything, and everyone will die."

Idris frowned: "Aren't you afraid of death if you do this? I think you are well aware of what the king has done to you. He never considers any affection, he only considers the best interests change."

"I'm really afraid of death." Edward twirled the crown prince's power ring on his ring finger, looked at the gray-blue sky, and whispered, "But I'm even more afraid that my life is meaningless."

"No meaning?" Idris repeated, with a bit of disbelief on his expression, "Is the meaning in your mouth the same as William?"

Edward glanced at him without answering, but his eyes said it all.Idris pursed his mouth tightly, his face was still submissive, but his eyes were full of displeasure.Edward ignored him, stood up, and said softly: "I hope you will bring my words to Ralph completely. Also, don't think that you can treat my words just because Bryant married Ralph." Decided to point fingers."

After speaking, he left the room without hesitation.Idris could only keep up quickly, looking at the back figure walking in front of him with complicated emotions.
