The King's Follower [Rebirth]

The degree of maturity of a person is not only related to his experience, but also related to the degree of his brain development. This is particularly evident in orcs. When it comes to this matter, the angle, method and depth of thinking about the problem always seem to be much naive than the orc man, but once he becomes an adult, he has indeed grown up, and it only takes a little time for him to slowly digest the previous 18 After years of seeing and hearing, and accepting the sudden huge changes in the body, soon, the orc will undergo a qualitative leap, from a child who may not understand many things explained to him, to become like a child. Like adults, mature thinking, able to communicate with other people on an equal footing.

But there is a limit to this qualitative leap. After all, no matter how talented a person is, the depth of his thinking, the breadth of his thinking, and the maturity of his techniques when dealing with problems are all based on his experience. Extraordinary talent, now he is just a teenager, adulthood can only allow him to deal with his 18 years of experience from a higher level perspective, he can only sublimate, but can't create something out of nothing.

When Edward was the crown prince, there were many underage orcs serving him. They could not continue to serve him when they became adults, but this did not mean that Edward lost contact with them. He would attend their adult ball. These orcs passed by Samo When Seth was still there, he would go to Hull Castle to pay his respects, and when he was in the palace, he would often invite them to have a small gathering for an afternoon, so he was well aware of how much adulthood affected orcs.What's more, in the last life, he had already experienced William becoming an adult once, and he probably had an idea of ​​what an adult William looked like.

However, the current William is far beyond his imagination. In the past few days, he has been racing against time to inform him of the situation at home and abroad and all the arrangements he has made for him. In Edward's original expectation, William's ability to fully understand It is already very good to straighten out the restrictive relationship between these forces and remember the list of half of the available people, their advantages and disadvantages that can be exploited.But when he didn't expect, William not only digested everything he said, but even pointed out the flaws in their plan and the difficulties they encountered now.Even though William didn't say anything about the manpower list that Edward gave him at the time, his expression showed a vague dissenting attitude, as if he was somewhat disapproving of some of the names.

This is absolutely not normal.

William in this life has been with him day and night for six years. Edward is the clearest about his reaction, attitude, judgment and choice to this information. No matter how talented William is, his foundation is there, no matter what. Will not jump out of that range.However, the current William gave Edward a very strange feeling. He was too mature, too confident, and too calm. His experience seemed too rich, he knew too much, and his perspective on problems was too straight to the point.Edward originally wanted to play the role of a guide, but during these five days, he felt as if he was a subject, reporting his work to the old king who had been immersed in politics for many years.This feeling simply made him a little creepy.

But what surprised him even more was the way William looked at him.If it is said that the strong working ability can barely be explained by William being a talented genius, what about the relationship?William in this life grew up under his unreserved love and care. Edward knew that he had deep feelings for him, but those feelings were cheerful and sweet, youthful, lively and full of vitality.And now, whenever Edward and William looked into each other's eyes, he was horrified by the oppression, sadness, surprise, and heavy longing in his eyes.This is not a feeling that a young boy can have. It is clearly a complex emotion that a man who has suffered a lot of emotional damage and has been suppressing himself for many years will have.

All of these are intertwined, so that Edward can't help but have the idea that "William was also reborn when he was an adult".He himself was originally an existence beyond common sense, and then he had August as his companion, so when this thought came up, he didn't feel panicked, but felt a burst of fear and sadness from the bottom of his heart.William in the previous life was kind to him, and William's heartbroken grief and confession in the dream made him feel grateful and deeply guilty, but William in this life was raised by him, and he dedicated everything to little William.If it is said that William in the previous life was a deep and indelible shadow in his heart, then William in this life is the treasured gem he held in the palm of his hand. That shadow was lost long ago, but the gem in the palm of his hand, he originally I want to protect my life.

Today, Little William, who has been together day and night for six years, is likely to become someone else. Even if it is the soul of his last life, Edward still has a kind of fear and fear that Little William is no longer alive. He feels that his inference is true. , but dare not go to confirm, as if confirmed, Little William really no longer exists.

However, it wasn't just him. On the other side, William had a lot of doubts about Edward in his heart.

In William's mind, Edward is elegant, beautiful, intelligent, versatile, but naive, naive, ignorant of the world, and too idealistic. He is superior, but because of his status and his perfect upbringing, this superior attitude does not appear The king's other illegitimate children complained about Edward's indifferent attitude, but William knew that Edward was only indifferent, and that was because he was taught that he should not be too close to his illegitimate brother. Lowering his status, which does not conform to the requirements of customs, will make him ridiculed by others, but in fact, he is a soft-hearted person, kind-hearted, and soft-hearted.

He always remembered that when he was bullied by his half-brothers and sisters in the palace, only the crown prince stood up and severely reprimanded them.The king didn't care about getting along with the children. In his opinion, the children's mutual rivalry, framing and bullying tricks are the best way to exercise their abilities and test their hearts, just like killing a group of wild animals. Locked in a cage, the one that survives in the end is the most powerful one.

However, Edward didn't know the king's insidious thoughts. He only felt that as the crown prince and elder brother, for the sake of the Lancastrian royal family and half of the blood relationship between him and them, he needed to educate his younger siblings to be harmonious. friendliness.The words that came out of his mouth made all the illegitimate children of the king laugh secretly in their hearts. There are still such stupid people in the palace who think they are living in Utopia.William also knew that what Edward said was extremely ridiculous. In this world, where there are so many truths, goodness and beauty that are self-denying and treating others, they are just trampling on each other and the fittest survive.But that was the first kindness he received in this cold palace, even though the owner of this kindness didn't care about this small episode in life.However, for William, who was still young at the time, it was enough for him to put that person in the most important position in his heart, far above everyone else.

It's a pity that before the crown prince became an adult, he could only return to the palace twice a year. He couldn't see Edward, and he usually only received polite replies when he wrote letters, but he still remembered him. Whenever the crown prince returned to the palace, He deliberately urged other illegitimate brothers and sisters to bully him where the crown prince might pass by, and then saw the crown prince stop him and stand up for himself. Although this feeling of being cared for and loved by him is mostly fake, it is just his own making. What he imposed on himself with amorous feelings also made him feel extremely comforted.

Of course, such tricks are not always successful, because his brothers are not fools without a brain, and soon discovered the tricks, so they alienated him one after another, calling him "the crown prince's sycophant", and no longer Fall into his trap and avoid being the target of the crown prince's reprimand.William, who was isolated, didn't care, because the adult crown prince had returned to the palace, so he pretended to be a pitiful person who was excluded by everyone, and stuck to Edward's side openly.

Edward was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent to him, unfriendly but not mean, he upheld the most noble requirements of the nobles in dealing with feelings, indifferent, self-restraining, elegant and calm, he was not close to him, but he did his best as the crown prince and elder brother Obligations and Responsibilities.Although this kind of friendship is just a faint candlelight, it is already a raging fire for William, who is struggling to survive amid all kinds of malice, framing, jealousy and indifference in the palace.

His only regret is that he regards Edward as the most important person in his life. However, in Edward's heart, he is just a dispensable younger brother. He squeezed everyone else away, and finally he was the only one left, but before he could do anything, everything changed drastically, and he lost the opportunity to improve his relationship with Edward.

Now, after ten years of suffering, he finally got the mercy of God and stood in front of Edward once again.When the memory was just merged, he was only concerned about being happy and encouraged that he could get another chance, and he was very excited to be able to have such a close contact with Edward.But when his enthusiasm gradually cooled down, he found that the gap between the Edward here and the Edward in the previous life did not seem to be the slightest bit.

Judging from William's memories of the past six years, the relationship between himself and Edward is very different from the previous life. If it was Edward in the previous life, William would never understand why he wanted to show his favor to him, and he cared so much for him. The dedication of the heart, without reservation.Moreover, all the arrangements that Edward has made for himself in the past six years, and the hypocrisy between him and the king and queen are not things that the childish and elegant nobleman in the previous life could do.

Thinking of his own situation, an absurd but extremely reasonable thought suddenly arose in William's mind, which made him so excited that he almost cried in an instant: Could it be that Edward was also reborn?
