The King's Follower [Rebirth]

Edward was so familiar with this kind of smile that he couldn't be more familiar with it. Every time the queen wanted him to do something for herself, she would show such a smile, such as using him as a gunman and using him to mock the king's lover To prevent the king from granting the long-coveted position of a queen to the lover's family, or let him marry that bad old man in the previous life in exchange for the alliance of the two families.Edward sometimes wondered if the Queen had practiced this smile in front of the mirror. Did she really think that she was smiling amiably, or that she was still the same as when she was a child, as long as she saw her smile, even if it was an extremely hypocritical smile, Would be grateful?

"In a blink of an eye, you are already 22 years old." The queen's face was stiff and loving, but her eyes were as cold as the gale of winter. Her emotional emotions were wiped away by the power struggle year after year. up.

"Yes." Edward followed her words.

"You are already so old, it's time to think about your marriage." The queen said straight to the point, "Now, do you have someone you like?"

Edward sneered in his heart, does this woman still expect him to say "my marriage is up to you", "yes," so he replied, "I want someone to spend my life with again."

The queen's smile stagnated, and she paused for a few seconds before asking, "Who is it?"

Edward looked into her eyes and said sarcastically, "Of course it is the holy Orgona. I hope that I can dedicate my chastity to Orgona completely."

"It's ridiculous." The queen said softly. She pronounced slowly but clearly, as if she was about to chew the sentence and swallow it. "God, my child, this idea is really terrible. Who is it?" Instilled in you such an idea?"

"Don't be like this, mother." Edward smirked, "This idea comes from the incomparable admiration and touch of Olgon La."

"I don't allow it." The queen said every word, "You are the crown prince, you are the future king, how can you not get married and pass on the blood of the royal family? Put away your ridiculous thoughts!"

"What you said sounds like I'm the only one left in the Lancaster family." Edward raised his eyebrows and said casually, "Throughout the history of the Cuthbert Empire, there are many unmarried King and Queen. What do you think the Act of Succession to the Throne is for? After me, there are other heirs in line who can inherit my throne. I don’t marry and have children. It doesn’t mean that the Lancaster family’s rule cannot Handed down."

"That's enough." The queen put away the fan and knocked heavily on the table. Edward felt that the queen actually wanted to hit him in the face with the fan, "You just haven't met a suitable orc now. I've found one for you. A very good candidate for fiancé, noble in birth, dignified in appearance, high in rank, witty in conversation and elegant in manner, you will like him."

This passage gradually overlapped with what the queen said in the previous life when she let his family be the head of the Garcia family. Edward closed his eyes, but he knew that now he was still the crown prince in good name and the matter had not gone away. At that point, the queen will not let him marry the elderly Count Garcia in exchange for an alliance. This person's identity and status are not low.

"It is the young and promising Major General Findlay of the Doherty Republic." The queen said, "He is the idol of all the orcs in Doherty. He is a very outstanding young man. I hope you will not be like yours just because of his nationality. Like my father, what kind of prejudice do I have against others?"

Edward pursed his lips and remained silent for a moment, then finally parted his mouth and said, "It seems that you and your father disagree on diplomatic issues."

"Yes." The queen said frankly, "The king is too stubborn. I don't want you to become like him and ruin the country."

Edward had a half-smile: "For diplomatic issues, I don't think we need to use marriage to solve them. I am the crown prince, the future king of the empire, not a mascot to show the friendship between the two countries. Let's stop here. His tone suddenly hardened, he stood up, and looked down at the opposite queen, "I don't want to hear you say this anymore, I won't get married, and you don't need to work hard on my marriage." After finishing speaking , he turned and left.

The queen narrowed her eyes and said sharply, "Stop!"

Edward ignored her order and left the room without looking back.The crown prince's servants and servants followed behind him without saying a word. The crown prince walked with the same strength and rhythm as usual, and even the expressions on the ministers and officials he met on the road were not much different, but there was a sense of depression on his body. The low pressure made them more cautious, not daring to make a sound to break the existing balance.

Edward is actually fine, he just thought of the humiliation in his previous life, he was traded like a commodity, looked up and down with frivolous eyes, humiliated and teased with frivolous words and deeds, this was the greatest humiliation in his life , even if the king wants to hang himself in the square, it is better than this.Recalling the events of his previous life, Edward really wanted to turn his face on the spot and pour that cup of hot tea on her face, but he couldn't, he could only bear with it, firmly rejected any proposal from the queen, quickly left the room, and stayed any longer , he felt that he might tear himself apart with the queen.

Of course August knew what was going on, they had been monitoring every move of the Ablos family, and naturally saw their dealings with Doherty's Major General Findlay.Like Edward, he thought of the bad old man who was almost married to the Garcia family in his last life. However, this only reminded Edward of bad memories, but it gave August a new inspiration.After Edward calmed down a bit, he confessed his thoughts. Edward approved of it very much and asked him to sort out a preliminary plan before discussing it.

August walked to his room in a happy mood. The feeling of being reused by his sweetheart made him feel that the colors of the whole world were much brighter.However, soon, he saw the only existence in the world that couldn't be brightened up in the corridor, William.

This person, why let Edward take this life of his own rebirth, he thought unwillingly, if Edward was more ruthless and got rid of this person, he would be able to support Edward to become the next king, since both of them are reborn Through experience, he promised that he would become the closest person to Edward, but right now, not only was he pushed away from the crown prince by this stupid and simple boy, he also had to hand over the crown to the head of this young rival in love.

Bowing to the other party alienatedly, August suddenly had a vicious thought in his heart. This remote corridor is almost empty at the moment, only a few guards standing at the ends of the corridor.So when he straightened up, he grabbed William's wrist, leaned over to look at him carefully, and finally sneered sarcastically: "I really don't understand why the crown prince treats you so well, except to cause him trouble , you don't know anything."

William was keenly aware of August's abnormality. The other party seldom provoked him like this. Now he must have been stimulated by something: "What happened to Your Highness?"

August was taken aback for a moment, and finally sneered, "What can happen to His Royal Highness? But I just met the queen, and the queen just talked about a marriage for him."

William opened his mouth wide in shock, and after a while he growled in a low voice: "Your Highness cannot marry those people!"

"Why not?" August revealed a malicious smile and deceived, "The other party is Doherty's youngest and most promising Major General Findlay, who is the dream lover of all the sub-orcs in Doherty. Gentle and dedicated, clean and self-disciplined, what a match for His Highness! Besides, have you ever thought about how much available resources Major General Findlay can bring to His Highness the Crown Prince? Your Highness doesn’t need to think about anything at all, this is really this world The most perfect match made in heaven in the world, why do you think His Highness the Crown Prince should not marry him? Besides, if the Crown Prince does not marry such an excellent man, who will he marry? Could it be possible to marry you?"

"You're talking nonsense!" William concluded in a calm voice, but immediately turned around and left quickly, rushing to Edward's room.

Edward was very annoyed. The queen successfully used the marriage to arouse the pressure and negative emotions he had accumulated during this period of time. After dismissing August, he drove away everyone and knelt in front of the altar Start praying.At this moment, William jumped in from the window again and crashed straight into Edward's arms.Edward hugged the little orc who had hardly grown much taller than six years ago, and felt that the dark clouds accumulated in his heart were blown away by this collision.

"Who bullied you again?" Edward sat on the ground and patted William on the back lightly.

William hugged his waist and thrust his head into Edward's arms: "You don't want to marry someone else!"

Edward was taken aback: "Of course I won't get married, have you heard any rumors?"

William heaved a sigh of relief, but tightened his arms, muttering, "I knew August was lying to me!"

Edward patted his head and said, "Have you figured it out? Get up quickly when you figure it out."

William shook his head, and continued to lie in Edward's arms, being pressed to the ground by him.Edward's embrace was as soft and warm as ever, making him reluctant to leave.At this time, what August said just now resounded in his mind:

"...If the crown prince doesn't marry such an excellent man, who will he marry? Could it be possible to marry you?"

He sat up slowly, staring seriously at Edward's eyes, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what August said made sense.Although Edward has always said that he wants to be a priest, William is actually reluctant in his heart. If Edward becomes a priest, there will be another Orgunra between him and Edward, and Edward will become like other priests. There is a kind of alienation and indifference in his body, and he is no longer so close to anyone, even himself.William is not as pious to Orgona as Edward. He doesn't want Edward to think about others. He wants Edward to treat himself as well as he does now, instead of becoming a philanthropic and indifferent priest.

So, under Edward's inexplicable eyes, William took a deep breath and said with a straight face: "Your Highness, you know, we are not..." He confused the word "brother" and continued, "We are You can marry! So, Your Highness, when I become an adult, you can marry me!"
