Woolfheard carefully exited the king's study, and when he looked up, he found that "Lubino" was excitedly pounced on him.

"Good girl, I'm worried to death!" She caught the dog with fluff like a waterfall, and then she found the person in front of her.

Her heart almost stopped.

It's him.

"You're feeding her?"

"From my own plate." The prince's voice was still so far away, but Woolfheard couldn't help but burst into laughter.

He's my fiancé......

The king was reading a pile of papers, the top of which was a recent petition from Old Sored in East Anglia, where the early spring tide had eroded much of the lord's estate, and he begged the royal family to send someone to investigate the loss of land, lest the excessive tax burden weigh him down.

Edgar took out another map of Normandy, the Lower Normandy lords who had participated in the rebellion had been deprived of a large amount of land, and he had decided to compensate some of it to his vassals, and the Thain and his guards from the north of the East Anglian Moors to the west of Cambridgeshire had made a great sacrifice for the war, and the militia in this area had suffered the heaviest losses in both Dunkirk and on the Somme, and the king had to repay them accordingly.

Of course, this will bring some trouble: the properties of these coastal counties are not directly under the royal family, but under the "Five Ports Alliance" under the charge of the Earl of Kent, and their tax metal maintains an exclusive share of gold in the royal fleet, and once the property eroded by the tide is replaced with the original knightly fiefdom in Normandy, its obligations and management will be complicated.

Edgar had been thinking for a long time, the Five Ports Alliance system was originally used to replace the "heregeld" (heregeld) or Danish gold in the past, which was levied by the county magistrates, and now if the League system jurisdiction is set up in Normandy, it must not directly set up county governors from local families, but if officials are sent directly from London, what will be the reaction of the Duchiate? Would the Rouen court have taken this as a sign of total conquest?

He spread his hair and sat cross-legged on the floor, intending to forget all these complicated government affairs for a while, and there were still too many things to do at tonight's banquet.

May my son have a wolf's heart, before I put him into the wilderness.

The Welsh oak tree in front of the palace is still bare, only in perfect form, which makes those who pass by awe-inspiring.

The hallway of discussion stretches along the statues of saints and kings to the entrance to the golden temple with a white oak tree to the left and right of the door, and only the imagination of the guests roams through the glorious hall thus revealed.

Beneath the gold and bronze crosses, the crowned king, with his purple robes and silver adorned, was seated opposite the great fireplace, his face shining with a soft glow, and his noble hair like a river. On the eagle stand beside the king, the white falcon looked left and right, covered with thick feathers like iron armor.

Lent was finally over, and the Easter feast was the first since the end of the war, with half of the kingdom's lords present in the hall.

"Your Majesty, if you insist on approving this succession, I can only ask for your forgiveness - please allow me to leave the court." Leofrick, the old and undignified Archbishop of Canterbury, tried to persuade again.

"We will give him a decree declaring him to be the rightful heir of Mercia, and if necessary, I will ask the Holy See for a charter." The king was unmoved.

The bishop's cough grew louder and louder, drowning out the music that spread from the strings of the lira.

"Come to us, dear Lord Henry." The king turned in the direction of the guest and shouted loudly.

The eyes of both the Anglo-Saxons and the Danes were focused on the son of the Duke of Normandy.

Henry's stature was rather short, with black hair like a crow's feather, and in the eyes of King Edgar, this body seemed to contain infinite power, reminding him of Napoleon I in oil paintings.

"We will canonize you as the Earl of Oxford, and you will be an envoy of the kingdom to the Scottish court to inform us of the victory of our army."

Henry's eyes flickered, exactly like the king's falcon, and he heard the hint from the king's order: the promise still counted, and he would marry the daughter of the king of Scotland.

Becoming the son-in-law of the King of Scotland may not be a big deal, but being a member of the Wessex royal family means everything to Henry!

His position may no longer be attainable by Lufus.

As soon as the Normans retreated, the other three were brought before the king.

"Lord Guspatrick, Lord Woolfnoth, Brother Haakon."

Standing in front of them were none other than the Counts of Cumbria and the Godwin brothers, such a group gathered in the banquet hall of the Anglo-Saxon king, as if tonight was destined to be the end of decades of struggle.

"I heard that you have captured the Normans?" The king first asked Gus Patrick Jr.

"Thanks to Her Majesty the Queen and Lord Woolfnoth, everything is going well."

The king's sister, Madame Christina, had already discovered these people, but she was still in a dream—what were the brothers and the woman doing to hide from them?

Edgar smiled and held up a finger, "Lord Woolfnoth, we will not forget you—friendliness, what do you want from us?" ”

"Your Majesty, everything I wanted is here now." Woolfnoth Godwinson knew that everyone was looking at this place, and there must be all kinds of colors in those eyes that could burn his back.

"You mean your nephew? Haha, anyway, you risked your life for us, Lufus's men failed to make a bigger storm, and the throne should thank you! Edgar pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Your family business ......"

"Your Majesty, Haakon and I really only ask for your protection, and retirement is our only ardent wish."

"Well, Brother Haakon may go to the Academy, where His Excellency Robert will continue to heal him. As for you, we intend to make you the Earl of Glamorgan, and defend the lands of Kelvent to Bristol. ”

After all, Godwin's son was a contender for the throne, and Harold's Sain family also seemed very unreliable this time, Edgar naturally would not allow a Godwin's descendant to return to Wessex, Wales was at least restrained by Hereford and Pembroke Rock, with today's situation, he could not have no reward for Volunthorn who voluntarily surrendered to him, so Woolfnoth could only go to the most "harmless" area.

What's more, Haakon is still under his control.

A soft hand suddenly shook it, and Edgar saw his wife's signal that the most important person was coming.
