The King's Follower [Rebirth]

As Edward expected, at four or five o'clock in the morning the next day, the former king's army suddenly launched a fierce attack on the front line near the capital.Fortunately, even though Edward gave the warning order, although the front line was forced to retreat five kilometers in the first few days, when the backup troops arrived, they regained the lost ground little by little, and finally even moved the front line forward After advancing two kilometers, the surrounding troops even recaptured two cities because of the large amount of firepower they attracted.

Andre Catterfield, who delivered the poison to Stephen, was not caught and brought to justice, and when the soldiers arrived at his residence, it was already empty.However, it was not without any gains. According to the clues he left behind, Edward wiped out the three spy strongholds left by the former king in the capital, and according to the descriptions of many students who had contact with him, he detained many who might be doing it for him. The ex-king's spy as a spy.

For a while, the whole capital was in a state of turmoil. However, it was precisely because of Edward's special security orders and his ruthless attitude that although the atmosphere in the capital was tense, the order was cautious. It was not because of the king's sudden "sudden illness" and the sudden tension on the front line. Panicked by the war.

August's research on the toxicity of Durand lily pollen progressed very slowly. Dozens of the country's best pharmacists were specially summoned into the capital to help August with the production of the antidote. However, a whole month passed. They did not come up with any results.And this month, William has been in a coma. In order to prevent his body from weakening due to lack of nutrition, Edward can only put William into his own space, nourishing William with his own spiritual power and the elements in the space.

The comatose William had a huge demand for mental power and elements, and Edward soon withered away, returning to the state where he was almost eating magic crystals as a staple food when he was injured in space a few years ago.Fortunately, his space level has reached level eight now, and the reserves and purity of the mutated space elements have also been greatly improved. Otherwise, no matter how many magic crystals he eats, he will not be able to withstand the demands of the orcs at the peak of level eight.

Another month later, August stood in front of Edward with a pale face and told him the final research results: "The toxicity of the Durand lily has no solution."

Wrapped in a thin blanket, Edward sat on the sofa, and the small table beside him was full of thick documents.It was already summer, but Edward, who was weak, could not feel the heat, and even needed more clothes.Hearing August's words, he calmly put down the parchment in his hand, his eyes were slightly red, but his tone was very calm.

"I've had this premonition for a long time." He rubbed the tassels on the blanket with his fingers, "These years, our luck has been so good and smooth. If it was the last life, I would never have imagined that we would be so smooth I won most of the country and kicked that person off the throne. I always thought it would be very difficult, and I would have to fight for decades until my temples turned gray before that person could be punished as he deserved. Achieved."

"Do you know, August." Edward raised his head, "As I once said, people's luck is limited. Our luck was too good before, so now, we have to accept the punishment of overdraft luck .”

"This is nonsense." August forced a smile, "Everything we got, we got back at a huge price."

Edward gently smoothed the wrinkles on his robe, stared at the bright sunshine outside the window for a while, then turned his head and asked, "Apart from the fact that the poison is insoluble, did you not get any other results?"

"Yes." August quickly said, "Although this kind of poison has no solution, it can be slowly metabolized from the body. If you use a small amount, the metabolism time will be shorter. If you use a large amount, It takes longer to metabolize. The point is to keep your body active, as long as your body is still alive, you will wake up one day."

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment, but still said the final result: "It's just that after waking up, whether the mind is still clear or not depends on one's luck."

Edward's eyes slid across August's face, and finally fell down again, landing on an unknown point in the air, before saying after a while: "It doesn't matter, as long as he lives... If he is stupid, I will take care of him for the rest of his life...'From now on, good or bad, rich or poor, healthy or sick, I will love you and cherish you until death do us part.' This is my oath." He looked again August, the corners of his mouth curled up, showing a sad, strong and sweet smile, "I made an oath in front of Orgunra, and I will not violate it."

The king was "seriously ill" for more than two months, and Edward had full power to deal with state affairs.However, Edward has just become the queen, and he has not conceived an heir for the king. After all, the position of the queen is not safe. He has full authority to handle state affairs on behalf of the king. become more and more intense.When the king was in a coma for the third month, this kind of dissatisfaction finally broke out under the instigation of someone with a heart.

"If the king still can't wake up, then do you have to replace the king all the time?" An officer asked in a routine meeting, "With all due respect, Your Majesty, you have no right to inherit the throne. , if you represent the royal power like this, you will not be suspected of stealing the country."

"Do you think His Majesty the King won't wake up?" Edward lowered his voice. He can only sleep for four hours a day now. When he opens his eyes, countless state affairs are piled up in front of him, and he still has to worry about William in the space. He couldn't eat well, he always had no appetite, he often suffered from indigestion, and his mental state was getting worse and worse. Hearing the officer's attack, he suddenly felt a splitting headache, upset and irritable, and wished to be like a tyrant, throwing away all his opponents. He cut off the heads of all the people he got into trouble with.But he couldn't do that, he could only deal with the matter as calmly as possible.

"I don't want such a thing to happen, Your Majesty the Queen." The officer said neither humble nor overbearing, "but it is not impossible. Earl Ablohs has led dozens of top pharmacists in the country to study for three full months. But now there is no result. I think everyone knows what this means."

"Then what do you want me to do?" Edward rubbed his temples and clenched his fist with the other hand. He didn't let himself meet the man's eyes, lest he lose his temper and lose his temper at will.

"The position of the king should be handed over to someone who is healthy, capable and energetic to govern the country," the officer said.

Edward closed his eyes, and he pursed his lips tightly, not wanting to speak, for fear that if he opened his mouth, it would be an order to drag this man out and throw him into the Black Tower.He couldn't be so capricious, so many people were eyeing him and William's position, and if he made a wrong step, he would give people the excuse to drive them off the throne.

"Your Majesty the Queen." The man began to speak incessantly again.Edward still closed his eyes, rubbing his swollen temples, only felt that the man's voice was getting farther and farther away, and getting softer, until finally, there was no sound at all—Edward passed out.

When Edward opened his eyes, he found himself lying on the bed. Outside the window, bursts of joyful bells rang throughout the sky of the capital.

"Your Majesty?" Seeing that Edward had opened his eyes, a servant hurried forward to help him sit up, and handed him a glass of water mixed with magic crystal powder.

"What's wrong with me?" Edward asked weakly.

"Your Majesty, you are pregnant!" The servant said happily, "You enter your space every day, have you not noticed that the future little prince and princess have appeared? The doctor said that this egg has been more than three months old, it is very healthy."

Edward stared blankly at him, and it took him a long time to realize what he was talking about, and immediately entered his own space.In fact, when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that he had sensed it a long time ago, but his mind was all on William, and he seldom took care of the space, ignoring the subtle feelings brought about by pregnancy.

He turned around in the space, and finally found a silver egg with red stripes at the root of a dense blade of grass where the herbs grew most lushly.He squatted down, carefully carried the egg into his arms, and gently stroked the smooth eggshell with his hands.He only had sex with William once, but he didn't expect to get pregnant just this time.

Feeling his father's touch, Eggy, who had been neglected for a long time, shook happily, and the temperature of the eggshell rose slowly because of the happiness, warming like a hot water ball.Edward's cold hands quickly warmed up.

"I'm sorry, my child." Edward kissed his balls and apologized in a low voice, "Dad is too busy these days, so he neglected you, so don't take it to heart. Dad loves you very much, and he never did it on purpose."

Eggy shook again, as if she had understood what Edward meant.Edward hugged him and returned to William's side.The huge silver dragon crouched on the ground, its towering back with sword-shaped jagged teeth rose and fell rhythmically.Edward came to take William's head, kissed his nose, put his balls in front of his nose, and said, "Smell, this is our child, he is three months old."

The silver dragon didn't respond, it spewed out a large amount of gas with its deep and long breath, like a gust of wind, blowing the herbs in the space upside down.

Edward knew that it was impossible for him to wake up, and near William, he directed the soil in the space with his spiritual force, and built a small high platform to put his balls, so as not to be crushed by William, and put the vine-shaped The herbs were transplanted and let them entangle Dandan so that he would not accidentally fall from the high platform.

"Dad can't stay with you in the space all the time." Edward put his face on the eggshell and explained in a low voice, "Your father is sick, so you can help Dad take care of him, okay? Talk to him more often, call him He, let him wake up quickly so that our family can be reunited."

Eggy shook twice, agreeing.Edward stayed with him for a while, and then had to leave the space. Now that he is pregnant, as long as the egg can be broken alive, the heir to the throne will be born, and Edward's queen can be firmly established. Then there is an aboveboard reason to help the comatose William deal with state affairs.

In the space, Eggy, which was tied up on the high platform by vines, moved, and a spiritual force came out from the eggshell, echoing in the space. This was an inaudible sound, but a spiritual communication.However, when one looked carefully, one could find that the ears of this huge silver dragon lying on the ground and still sleeping soundly trembled slightly.
