The King's Follower [Rebirth]

After the children left the stage, the remaining adults seemed to relax a lot. The content of everyone's chat added a lot of parts that were not suitable for children to hear, such as politics, and secret gossip from wealthy families, but they still I remember that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also underage, and when talking about some sexual content, he would always find a corner away from the Crown Prince.However, Edward still saw that under the influence of alcohol, there were already many unmarried orcs and sub-orcs hiding in the corners of the hall, or leaving the banquet hall one after the other to "breathe", not to mention the strong smell in the air. The smell of hormones emanating from the orcs is simply more intoxicating than the most mellow wine.

Soon, Earl Parkinson, who had greeted Edward before, came to Edward together and invited him to dance. After the dance, Earl Parkinson sat down beside Edward.The two chatted casually about the scandals of aristocratic families that were only secretly circulated in the upper class, as well as some scandals that have not yet been confirmed by solid evidence.

"I didn't expect that an old man like you, who looks kind and friendly, could find out so many other people's tricks." Edward said.

Earl Parkinson smiled: "I used to be the head of the party whip. It was originally my duty to control the privacy of everyone in the party, whitewash the peace, cover up scandals, and maintain the image of officials."

Edward nodded: "This reminds me of another cabinet position."

Earl Parkinson immediately understood what he meant: "You mean, the Minister of the Interior who manages internal affairs?"

Edward looked into his eyes and said softly: "The Minister of Internal Affairs who manages crimes, citizens' entry and exit, etc., I think, I'm afraid it must be someone like you who has experience as a party whip and has managed an entire party. eligible for election."

Platinum Earl Xu's expression remained unchanged, but Edward still found that after hearing what he said, his eyes were suddenly ignited with ambition and excitement.Edward reached out, over one of his hands, and grasped the wrist of his other hand. Edward was wearing a loose sleeve, and he threw a letter between Earl Perkinson's leg and the arm of the armchair. In the gap between them, Platinum Earl Xu immediately moved his body and pressed Xinxin's leg against him.

What was contained in that letter was a financial scandal involving the current Minister of Internal Affairs, and this scandal was not exposed until a year later in the previous life, and it became a crime that shocked the whole country at that time.Edward wanted to use the crime to put Earl Parkinson in the position of Home Secretary.The Minister of Internal Affairs is mainly in charge of domestic crimes, the exit of citizens and the entry of foreigners. Edward wants to take advantage of the convenience of the position of the Minister of Internal Affairs to supervise several other forces, deal with some people at an appropriate time, and seize the power in their hands , can also supervise the conspiracy between the Liberal Party and Doherty. In the future, the melee of several forces will be chaotic enough. If foreign forces are mixed in, the whole of Cuthbert will be destroyed before William can sit on the throne. It fell apart.

"Our government needs people like you." Edward said meaningfully, "Those sanctimonious hypocrites have been sitting on their feet for too long. The whole country is full of criminal cancers everywhere. We need people like you to help Your Majesty and eradicate them one by one." .”

Earl Parkinson lowered his head and smiled, "I will not let you down."

Having done the most important thing, Edward stayed for another hour before deciding to rest.He had already greeted the king and was going to spend the night at Letterman's today.Now, Edward, who has solved a big problem, is relaxed. The next day, he and William had breakfast at Letterman's house, and then Shi Shi ran back to the palace.

A week later, a big scandal suddenly broke out in the government. The Minister of Internal Affairs was impeached by a backbench member of the House of Commons for years of corruption, selling official positions, and manipulating the transfer of lower noble titles. Because of poverty, the relative had to sell his title of knight to a wealthy businessman. In the empire, the title of nobility can only be inherited and cannot be resold. Its grant and withdrawal must be approved by the king. After a year of difficult investigation, it was finally discovered that the source was actually the Minister of Internal Affairs.

As soon as this matter came out, it immediately caused a great shock, not to mention that this act committed multiple crimes, the management of titles is the king's power, and the behavior of the Minister of the Interior selling the titles made the king, who attaches great importance to power, hate him, and immediately signed the investigation The order ordered the justice to personally organize manpower to investigate the matter, and Earl Parkinson, who did not have a fixed position, also participated in the investigation.As a result, other crimes committed by the Minister of the Interior were also placed before the King's case one by one, among which Earl Parkinson played an extremely important role.

The Minister of the Interior stepped down without any suspense and was imprisoned. Then, in the nomination of the new Minister of the Interior, Earl Parkinson narrowly beat all other candidates and became the new Minister of the Interior.

And by the time it all settles down, it will be New Years Eve.After half a year, Edward, who had been keeping a close eye on the royal capital in Somerset, returned to the palace once again.At the New Year's dinner, he raised his glass to Earl Parkinson, who was a few steps closer to the center of power, and drank the contents of the glass in a good mood.

Four years later—

"Good day, Your Excellency William." A beautiful little orc man bowed to William.

"Good day, Sir Eddie." William stopped and saluted him as well.

Eddie's amber eyes were full of repressed excitement and excitement. Before he became the crown prince's new servant, his mother had already told him to get along with the king's most valued illegitimate son, William. You know, although William's background is disgraceful, he is the orc with the most potential in the entire empire. He is also the first orc in the entire empire to break through the seventh level. He is still several months away from becoming an adult, but he has already broken through The seventh-level primary is making steady progress towards the seventh-level intermediate.With such talent, coupled with the king's guarantee, William will definitely be the supreme military commander of the empire in the future, and the title of grand duke is absolutely indispensable.

William has long known the true identity and role of the new group of servants who have suddenly been added to the crown prince's side in recent years, but he is not happy for his own happiness.

Three years ago, when the crown prince came of age, he moved back to the palace from Somerset, and stayed with the king to learn how to handle state affairs.However, because of his identity, Edward only did superficial work. Except for the meetings he had to attend, he usually did not work hard. Instead, he spent a lot of time studying theology and communicating with priests.In this regard, many ministers have repeatedly urged the dismissal of the crown prince's personal priest, Bishop Idris. They believe that it is precisely because of the wrong guidance of these priests that the crown prince is so careless.The king naturally laughed it off, and continued to let Edward do what he liked.

William, however, was different.Although he is the king's illegitimate son, the king and the crown prince attach great importance to him, which means that he will definitely enter the military or politics in the future and become the right-hand man of the king and the crown prince.Therefore, William's learning content is almost the same as that of the Crown Prince, and no one is puzzled by this.

Edward can be lazy, but William is too busy. Now, he spends almost all his time studying and practicing every day. For the little time he can squeeze out, he just wants to stick to Edward's side instead of using To deal with these Little orc people.

Seeing Eddie hesitant to speak, William felt only a burst of irritability in his heart, and couldn't help asking without grace: "What's the matter with you?"

Eddie blushed, and said, "I just want to ask...you, when you are an adult, which sub-orc man will be in the space? I heard that the queen and several grand duchesses are willing To help you..."

"I will complete the coming-of-age ceremony in the space of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." William interrupted him.

Eddie's eyes widened in surprise: "But, but His Royal Highness is not married yet! And His Royal Highness's level is..."

"No one stipulates, including Orgonla, that orcs cannot complete adulthood in the space of their sub-orc brothers." William frowned, "Also, the space of His Royal Highness is a sixth-level intermediate transformation-type herbal space. , Your Excellency Eddie, I don't know what you think, but I think this kind of space is already very good."

Eddie quickly explained: "But, but compared with His Majesty the Queen and those Grand Duchesses, the space of His Royal Highness is still a bit low."

"The space level of the sub-orcs does not affect the adulthood of the orcs." William said, "The reason why the orcs spend the three days of adulthood in their parents' space is not only because the space is safe, and the orcs will not find and hurt themselves. It is because the space of my parents can soothe the emotions of orcs. My mother has passed away, so of course I have to grow up in the space of my closest and most trusted sub-orcs, so that I can relax to the greatest extent, right? ? And the sub-orc man I am closest to and trust the most is of course His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Eddie said embarrassingly: "So it's like this..."

William didn't want to waste any more time, so he nodded and said, "I'm sorry, but I have to go first, Your Highness is still waiting for me." After speaking, he left quickly, leaving Eddie standing where he was, looking downcastly. His back is in a daze.

Compared with Hull Castle in Somerset, the royal palace is bigger, and there are also more people. Along the way, there are always people saying hello to him. William is very annoying, but he can't lose his demeanor and ignore each other rudely. , In the end, he turned into a beast shape, jumped out of the window, followed the wall, and climbed to the window sill of the crown prince's room vigorously and nimbly.Orcs are not allowed to transform into beasts at will in the palace, but this one does not restrict underage orcs.

Edward was talking to Idris when he suddenly heard the sound of the window being pushed open. When he turned around, he saw a silver figure quickly cross the window sill and jumped into the room.As soon as the little silver dragon landed on the ground, it rushed in front of Edward, paused for a moment, lowered its front body to salute, then quickly jumped onto the sofa, put its head under Edward's palm, and put its chin on Edward's lap, A strong request to touch their own appearance.
