The King's Follower [Rebirth]

The meeting came to an end before lunch. A member of the House of Lords and a major general quarreled and almost got into a fight, but the member was a sub-orc. The ink bottle thrown by the senator almost hit his head.

William, as the king, is the host of this meeting, and before the final result is debated, he can't favor either side, and can only keep both sides of the debate as calm and civilized as possible, but as time gets closer and closer to the noon point The congressmen, ministers and military officers who had a morning meeting were hungry and their tempers became more and more irritable. By the last half hour of the meeting, the debate had almost turned into scolding. Paper balls, notepads, and accessories on clothes , hats, ink bottles, and even shoes flew across the large meeting table. William yelled to be quiet several times, and finally had to unleash the coercion of an eighth-level orc to intimidate the audience, which made everyone calm down.

"Even if I go through 20 more years of meetings like this, I still can't accept the virtues of these ministers' tavern thugs." William complained. He is now having dinner with Edward in his own room, arguing all morning, and now he doesn't want to see him again. any subject.

"Energy is a good thing after all." Edward slowly cut the meat on the plate, "This shows that power has not been concentrated on a certain group, and everyone still has enough enthusiasm for governing the country."

William shrugged his shoulders and poured himself a cup of black tea. Although he would prefer to accompany his meal with wine, it was just that the meeting continued in the afternoon, and he could not return to the meeting hall drunk.

"By the way, William." Edward put down the knife and fork in his hand, opened his mouth with a twisted expression, and finally said, "William, can you, uh, stop doing those things."

"What things?" William suddenly laughed. He looked into Edward's eyes, making people feel warm with tenderness and affection. "Oh, those love poems? Don't you like them?"

"I like it very much, really." Edward's face was a little burning, and he lowered his eyes, avoiding William's sight, picked up the cup, took a sip of lemonade in disguise, and then seemed to have a strong feeling for the cauliflower that was decorated on the edge of the plate Interested, he kept fiddling with it with a fork, and continued, "It's just...you don't have to make such, such a big fanfare, let the troubadour sing it in front of so many people downstairs... "

"But if I send it to you secretly, how can others know that I wrote these love poems?" William said, his knees clamped Edward's knees under the table, and they rubbed against the table where they had dinner. It is a small round table, and when they sit face to face, their knees will touch together, "Didn't we agree to make my pursuit of you public, and give the war-torn people a beautiful and romantic love story?" , Let them spontaneously support the relationship between us, so that you can resign as a priest logically, marry me, and become the new queen of the empire."

Edward coughed and glared at William. The servants in the room were all trustworthy people who could control their tongues. He was not worried that they would tell the story of the two of them, but this did not mean that he was used to Being too intimate with William in the presence of outsiders. "But you are too high-profile." He bumped William's knee heavily with his knee, signaling him to be more honest.

"But the effect is very good." William was not discouraged, but reached out and grabbed Edward's hand on the table, took it to his mouth and kissed it, "Are you still feeling shy? But my dear, we will soon When we get married, it will be more than just singing love poems."

Edward squeezed William's face with his backhand, and said a little angrily, "Shy? Are you using this word to describe me? I just think you are too frivolous and naive."

"Love is inherently frivolous and naive." William stretched his head over with a smile so that Edward could use his strength.

Today's meeting still failed to solve the problem, which means that the ministers who were arguing in the chamber today will continue to quarrel in the chamber tomorrow until they come up with a final solution.

Although he really wanted to go back to his room with Edward to have a quiet meal like noon, William still had to entertain the ministers in the palace dining room.And when Edward presided over the evening class and everyone was about to go to the restaurant, William suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.

"Because of the meeting today, there is something I haven't had time to do." William made a gesture to the servant, and the ministers present laughed clearly. With a proper official smile, you can only quietly throw a knife at William with your eyes when you meet William's affectionate gaze.

A few minutes later the servant returned with a ukulele.William took the ukulele, plucked the strings lightly to test the sound, and then came to Edward, knelt down on one knee, and put the ukulele on his lap.

"Oh my God, don't be like this, Your Majesty." Edward said helplessly, taking two steps back and avoiding it to the side.

William ignored his refusal and sang:

"With good wishes in my heart,

Like apple blossoms swaying on the branches,

I just ask you to reach out and pick me up,

let me rest on your chest,

Listen to the soft sound of your heartbeat;

I would like to be a rose,

cut out, imprisoned in a vase, blooming for you,

I only ask that when you lean down and sniff,

accidentally kiss your face,

make your smile fragrant;

But if you don't love me,

Let me be the snow on the winter path,

cover the dust for you,

You walk lightly on me,

let me bury at your feet.

"

On the last sound of the last line of the lyrics, William elongated the tone, his voice was thick and loud, and the audience immediately burst into warm applause.William plucked the ukulele twice again, finally put down the plectrum, quickly grabbed Edward's hand, pulled him lightly, and pulled him in front of him, in front of everyone, on the back of his hand Print a kiss.

"To you, my love." William stood up holding Edward's hand, bowed to him, and then let go of his hand.

There was thunderous applause in the whole room, and some people even whistled for fear of chaos. Several grand dukes and dukes laughed loudly and said, "Edward, just promise him, Orgunla won't blame you, and we want to do it too." Come see the heir to the empire!"

Edward pursed his lips, took a step back, and bowed deeply to William: "Thanks to the wrong love," he said.

The servant took away the ukulele that was on the ground, and William glanced at Edward again, before saying, "Okay, let's have dinner, everyone, go back and get ready, the meeting will continue tomorrow."

In the dormitory building of St. Solsis University, Stephen was smiling and chewing the grilled ribs in his hand, as if all his attention was on the food piled high on the plate, but he was actually looking at it with extreme vigilance The guest sitting across from him.Last night at Monica's bachelor party, although he drank too much, he wasn't so drunk that he was unconscious, it was just that he couldn't control his emotions and couldn't control his mouth. When he woke up the next day, he immediately remembered What did I say yesterday.

To be honest, until now, he still can't accept the fact that William has suddenly changed from his half-brother to a high-ranking king. Similarly, he also hates Edward's position in William's heart, Edward The importance to William far exceeds him.Obviously he is William's real brother, but William is only close to the illegitimate son whose parents are unknown, and is only willing to honor that person, but throws himself aside.

Obviously they are relatives who are connected by blood. They have lived together since childhood and have never been separated, but suddenly one day, someone came out and said that he and William are not at the same level. William is the son of the king, and he He's just the illegitimate son of a commoner. When he sees William again, he wants to salute him.why?Stephen couldn't figure it out at the time, but as he grew older, when he understood the unfair rules of this world more and more, he felt more and more malice in fate.They used to be inseparable from each other and were inseparable, but now, one is superior and the other is of low status. He tries hard to catch up with his brother, but in the end he just gets farther and farther away. In the end, to the other party, he is just a business. The relationship between "brothers" is meaningless for the subjects who are government-run and have appeals to him.

However, although his heart is filled with all kinds of resentment and anger, it doesn't mean that he wants others to know the darkness in his heart.After all, since these thoughts are dark, they can’t be seen. No matter how unfair he feels that William is treating him, he can’t let others know that there is a rift between their brothers, and let others know that he is dissatisfied with William’s future partner. mood.He knew that everything about him came from William, and that without William, he would be nothing.

"Monica's wedding will be held in the school church tomorrow, do you want to attend?" Andre threw down a bone and picked up another one from the plate. I didn’t know there was such a gourmet shop in the school.”

"I just discovered it by accident." Stephen had no intention of discussing this topic, because in fact, this restaurant is the most popular restaurant among commoner students because of its cheap price and plentiful food, and nobles usually don't go to this greasy and crowded restaurant "Of course I will go, after all, I have also received an invitation." He answered Andre's first question.

Andre nodded casually, gnawed another rib, and said with a smile: "I guess His Majesty must not know what you did last night, otherwise how could you be allowed to attend Monica's wedding, haha, When he finds out, he will definitely let you break off friendship with Monica. Speaking of which, that woman is really bold, she dared to spoil the king's younger brother!"

Stephen retorted with a fake smile: "I'm already an adult, my brother won't care about such things."

"Oh, really?" Andre shrugged, looking in disbelief.This made Stephen almost open his mouth to continue explaining, but fortunately he held back in time.This kind of topic should not be communicated with ordinary friends with such ordinary relationships.

After eating a large plate of ribs, Andre wiped his mouth and hands with a napkin contentedly, and said, "Thank you for the supper, thank you so much. Please let me invite you to dinner tomorrow."

"You are too polite, but there is really no need." Stephen subconsciously refused.

"Don't refuse my invitation." Andre raised his hand to stop him, "Unless you hate me and don't want to be friends with me."

Stephen was taken aback, and could only say, "Of course not...well, where is it?"

"Sapphire Forest Tavern." Andre said, walking towards the door, Stephen followed him and sent him out.Opening the door, Andre only took a step forward, then stopped suddenly, looked back into Stephen's eyes deeply, and said in a low voice, "I really want to be friends with you, Stephen, after all "He shrugged, "People who have the same experience are always more able to understand each other. I have been looking for this understandable confidant for a long time, and now, I think I have found it."

"Really?" Stephen said dryly, "Okay, good night, Andre."

"Good night."

The door was closed behind, and Andre looked at the sky outside the window, feeling very good.
