The King's Follower [Rebirth]

Everything is moving in a good direction. When the month or two approaching the delivery, Edward's energy became more and more abundant. He ate a lot, and the supplementary elements and energy provided a three-headed After the egg and a giant dragon, there was more to spare, so the whole person gradually became rounder, and his complexion became much ruddy.The people around Edward were relieved a lot. Edward was not haggard like a pregnant person before, his face was pale, and his body was also thinner, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. An egg is likely to become a dead egg due to insufficient nutrition.Fortunately, it has grown to the present without any danger. In this month, even if there is any accident, the egg can break its shell in advance. Although it is premature, it can still survive, and it will be fine to take care of it in the future.

At this time, the front line has entered a fierce stage, and the battle is stalemate. Both sides are taking advantage of this stalemate to accumulate strength. When the deadlock is broken and the next stage is entered, the final decisive battle is over there. I am dead.

"We will win the final victory." August laughed and poured a cup of hot tea for Edward.It's winter now, and it's the New Year holidays.At such a critical juncture, no one is in the mood to take a vacation. However, after a long day of work, sitting by the window full of sunlight, drinking a cup of hot black tea, paired with freshly baked biscuits and a mouthful of The small cake is a wonderful moment in the leisure time.

Edward thanked August, picked up a teacup to moisten his thirsty throat from eating too many desserts.He has a sweet tooth lately and has a tendency to overeat. "I'm glad everyone's morale is so high."

"Since the birth of the little prince, our luck has returned." August also took a piece of dessert, "I only got pregnant on the wedding night. This kind of luck is not something that everyone has. My son After the appearance of the prince, the political situation in the country is stable, the frontline battles are going smoothly, and even His Majesty the King's health is getting better and better, and the day of soberness is not far away. I believe that the luck brought by the little prince will continue until we capture the The whole palace, and George Lancaster's head."

Edward felt that he was saying beautiful words to comfort himself. As a superior, he must be vigilant at all times. Even in the face of bright and beautiful prospects, he must predict the worst outcome, so as to stay awake.But hearing such good words, Edward was still very happy.

"Let's not talk about that." Edward changed the subject, "I heard that Chris has been..." He paused for a moment. As a sub-orc man, Chris's pursuit of August, who is also a sub-orc man, has been secretly spread throughout the palace.

Ever since the space that could produce poisonous herbs was exposed, August seemed to have become a patient suffering from a serious infectious disease. Everyone avoided him, and some people even proposed to Edward that August The special expulsion of the palace, and even the suggestion of the king's capital, but these people were severely reprimanded by Edward, Edward withstood the pressure, kept August in the palace, and gave him a new task, let him use The poisonous herb production place in your own space can be used as poison for war.These poisons became a new weapon on the battlefield, which allowed August to stay in the palace openly.But even so, everyone still avoided him, and August was isolated by the entire palace for a while.

However, only one person never flinched, and even tried to get closer to August.This person is Chris Garcia, and the way he wants to bring them closer has surprised everyone: he is pursuing August and wants to become a partner with him.

Sub-orcs and sub-orcs, orcs and orcs, this kind of relationship has not never happened in the empire. In 2000, there was a 20-year war on the Salman continent. This war gave birth to four saints who took the responsibility of helping refugees. These four saints were originally two couples, but after the war ended , The two couples actually asked the king for orders to dissolve their marriage, allowing the two sub-orcs and the two orcs to form their own families.This kind of thing was unimaginable to the people at that time, but there are countless people who have been saved by the four saints. Although everyone felt incredible, they never objected or humiliated this kind of feeling that they could not understand.So now, although this kind of emotion is difficult to be understood by everyone, and the discrimination among the people is also difficult to control, it will not be condemned by law and doctrine. If you are lucky, you can also get the king's dispensation to form a legally effective marriage. relation.

August was silent for a moment, and finally nodded like a broken can, "Yes." He raised his head and looked at Edward, with a trace of fear gradually rising in his heart.Edward didn't know the feelings he once had for him. Although the feelings gradually withered in despair as time went by because they couldn't get a response, he still cared about what the people he once loved thought of him .Laws and teachings have never opposed the combination of sub-orcs and orcs, but laws and teachings have never prohibited everyone's discrimination.Hearing that Edward suddenly mentioned Chris, he was suddenly afraid that he would hear words of dissatisfaction and discrimination from Edward. Denying Chris's pursuit of him was tantamount to denying his former crush.

Edward didn't know what was going on in August's mind, so he sighed and asked, "What do you think about Chris's pursuit?"

August froze for a moment, thought for a while, and said cautiously: "I am very grateful that he likes me."

Edward nodded: "I'm glad you have such an idea. A gentleman, whether he is willing to accept the other party's pursuit or not, should at least be grateful for this beautiful relationship."

August felt that the stone that was pressing on his heart fell off bit by bit. Only then did he realize that his back was soaked in cold sweat. He couldn't help picking up the teacup, took a few sips of hot tea, and relieved himself. Feeling.

"I don't mean anything else by mentioning this." Edward continued, "It's just that if you don't want to accept Chris's feelings, and you are afraid that rejecting him will hurt him, maybe I can talk to him."

August put down the teacup slowly, and looked deeply at Edward, as if he had never seen him before, scrutinizing his face so seriously.He once told himself that he should let go of his feelings for Edward, but he said so, even though he had already responded to Edward in his heart that he no longer had any hope, he still couldn't control his feelings. It has become a habit and cannot be taken back.But now, at this moment, he suddenly felt that he might have found a chance to break this habit.He can't go on like this, everyone is moving forward, he doesn't want to stay where he is ridiculously.

"Your Majesty." His eyes fell on the burning flames in the fireplace, and his voice was low, crying with some regret and indescribable pain, "Back then, after I discovered the evidence of my father's treason and my father decided to keep his mouth shut, How did I die?"

Edward's expression became serious.

"Actually, those rumors are not all wrong." Auguste smiled miserably, "My elder brother, he is a lunatic, a complete lunatic, he said, 'Looking at the entire empire, only the appearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can compare I love you, but the person I can't touch is His Highness, so let's use you to satisfy my hunger. Anyway, you are going to die.'"

Edward didn't speak. He knew that what August needs now is not shock or any kind of sympathy and pity. He is an extremely proud person. He is willing to reveal his wounds, but for venting, not for What a response.

"He was rough," August went on, "tortured me all afternoon, and then called an uncle and a cousin of mine. I must say, our family is nuts." He was neurotic. I smiled, but quickly restrained my expression, "Next, I can't figure out the time, I don't know when I died, but before I died, my space did collapse due to a mental breakdown .”

"Since then, I've discovered that I'm afraid I won't be able to accept orcs for the rest of my life."

"So?" Edward asked.

"So, I want to accept Chris, and I want to give it a try." August smiled, this smile was light, but extremely relieved, as if letting go of something.Edward thought it was because he had told his most painful secret, which only August knew. In addition, it was also because he was finally able to let go of his hopeless feelings, "I still want to form a relationship with the person I love. happy family."

"If necessary, I will ask William to issue a decree for your marriage license." Edward said sincerely.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty." August said, "I think Bishop Idris and Marquis Condra also need such an edict."

"Let's wait until Idris really catches up with Marquis Condra." Edward laughed.

At this moment, there was a hasty knock on the door, and Edward raised his voice, "Please come in", and saw the Duke of Dockery striding in, saluted hastily, and said, "Your Majesty, in the palace An assassin was found who attacked Duke Garcia and evaded capture, and we also found poison hidden in the wine in the kitchen. Now, there may be more than one assassin hidden in the palace. For your safety, I'm afraid you need to Your temporary departure from the palace will not only ensure your safety, but also make it easier for us to search the entire palace."

"How is Duke Garcia?" Edward asked hurriedly.

"Duke Garcia was stabbed in the abdomen. Fortunately, no internal organs were injured. The doctor has bandaged the wound for him, and he will be fine after resting for a while."

Edward heard August heaving a sigh of relief, "Go and see him." Edward said to him, "Take good care of him, he needs you now."

"Your Majesty..." August hesitated for a moment, but finally thanked Edward and left in a hurry.

"Where are we going?" Edward followed Duke Dockery out of the room. A dozen soldiers were waiting outside the door. Several of his valets hurriedly packed a few necessities for him and followed.

"If you don't mind, go to my mansion."

"Let's go to St. Leman's Cathedral." Edward said, it is a great honor for the king and queen to stay here, and it is Duke Dockery's duty to guard the palace. Therefore, Edward did not reprimand him immediately, but he was also unwilling to reward him with this honor casually.

"It was my negligence in consideration." Duke Dockery said obediently.

Edward approved his application to search the palace, and soon, before Edward left the palace, the whole palace was in chaos. The soldiers searched the assassin room by room, and everything that could enter the mouth was tested for poison.Edward came to the cathedral under the escort of the Duke of Dockery, and his room has been tidied up in a hurry.
