After hearing Howard's butler's shout, the three knights who were talking in the living room turned around and stared at the door, hoping to see their new lord for the first time.

I saw a young man less than four feet tall wearing a purple royal robe, a pair of wolf skin boots, and a tight little face walking in, full of indescribable aristocratic elegance in his gestures, which made the three knights, who had always aspired to be a real nobleman, feel ashamed in their hearts!

When the three of them saw Edward walk in, they immediately took a step forward and knelt down one leg vigorously, and the whole hall suddenly resounded with a thumping sound, which showed that they still respected Edward.

"My dear lord, your servant William. Leonardo/Bruno. Smith/Devereaux. Martin, come and meet our King of England! The three knights greeted Edward and kissed the back of his hand.

One might think that knights would kiss Edward's ring, but unfortunately, it was not popular for nobles to wear rings at that time, and rings were not family crests of nobles or anything, only the bishops of the church would wear those rings.

Bishops could not wear rings casually, and there were also classes in the Middle Ages.

In the Middle Ages, the popes had supremacy and the greatest power, and they wore rings set with huge gemstones.

In the 15th century, the popes wore rings with gemstones at the top and reliefs of lions with wings on both sides, showing a majestic and solemn style.

Gold and silver rings set with sapphires and amethysts are also often worn by bishops, as sapphire amethyst symbolizes the love and strength of God, as well as the bishops' unwavering focus on duty, mercy and forgiveness, purity of heart and elegance. There are also bishopric rings with the wearer's name engraved on them.

Also, at that time, etiquette did not allow kissing a lady's hand, if you did this, you would be considered indecent, and some time-travelers liked to play like this, which was the rhythm of death.

The ritual of kissing hands was only included in the etiquette of the nobles to meet the king and queen, and the nobles had to kneel down on one knee and bow their heads and kiss the hands of the king and queen in reverence.

Normally, kings and nobles would only kiss the ring when they saw the cardinal in charge of the affairs of their country, and they would bow down and kiss the large jeweled ring (which was given to the bishop by every bishop) on the middle of his left hand, which indicated his episcopal status.

The three knights kissed the back of Edward's hand in turn, stood up directly, and looked at Edward with a serious face, waiting for him to speak, ready to figure out what he meant.

"My dear knights, don't be nervous, you rarely see me once, and let the atmosphere be so incongruous!" Edward spoke in a softer tone, trying to make the three knights relax. "Come on, let's sit down! Come and try tea from the Far Eastern Empire, which is a hundred pounds to buy such a little! ”

Hearing the king say this, the three knights who were tense also slowly relaxed, and the skin on their faces also relaxed a lot. The three of them carefully wiped the non-existent sweat with their hands, and their panting became much louder.

To be honest, I don't blame them for being so careful, the main thing is that the powerful royal power is like a man-eating tiger, so they can't be so cautious. Even if Edward is not in power, his power should not be underestimated.

For example, during the reign of Henry VIII, his second wife was executed for treason by the irascious Henry VIII for saying that "the king never won her heart".

What's more, because the macho Henry VIII disliked his fifth wife, Catherine, because she was not a virgin when she got married, she was immediately beheaded the day after her marriage.

Except for your wife, even if you think that you are a nobleman, you will be exempt from this difficulty? I'll just say, kid, you're still too naïve.

The Earl of Essex was convicted of treason for failing to tell Henry VIII in advance that his fourth bride was "ugly in appearance"; The Countess of Salisbury was sentenced to death for her son's acceptance of a Roman cardinal.

Even during the reign of Elizabeth I, who claimed to be the first queen, the queen's lovers and favored courtiers were always living in danger of their lives, and the slightest carelessness could lead to the suffering of imprisonment and even death.

The Earl of Hartford, the Queen's lover, was declared illegal by the Queen for marrying without permission, fined 15,000 pounds, the Earl fled abroad, his wife was imprisoned, and when the Earl returned home, he was also imprisoned in the Tower of London.

So, in sixteenth-century England, the aristocracy at the top of society was less fortunate than their cousins on the continent. But for the king, there are many layers better than his cousins on the European continent.

Edward looked at the buriest knight on the left, a bodybuilder coming out.

"Your Majesty! That's William. Knight Leonardo, the closest to our manor, only twenty miles! He's an energetic knight who loves to challenge people the most! Recently he defeated Viscount Chabos, son of the Earl of Boswell! Butler Howard whispered to him, "His ancestors were mercenaries who were knighted by His Majesty Henry VII for capturing three knights of the House of York, and gave him a village, about a thousand acres. ”

"Knight William, I heard that you recently defeated Viscount Chabos, your bravery is really enviable!" According to the practice of the time, the heirs of the counts were generally addressed with viscounts, the heirs of dukes were honored by marquises, and barons were called knights.

"Haha! How glad that even you, Your Majesty, have heard about this! Knight William did not look embarrassed at all, and accepted the king's compliment very calmly, with a proud look.

Edward looked at the other knight with a scruffy face.

"Your Majesty, that's Bruno. Knight Smith, thirty miles away from us, don't look at his bravery, in fact, his favorite thing is to read! Howard's voice rang out again just in time. His ancestors were clerks of His Majesty Henry VIII and owned a nine-hundred-acre estate. ”

"Knight Bruno, I heard that you like to read books, I have a book of ethics here that you can borrow and read!" "Really? Thank you so much! "Bruno's knight's face is surprised, it's really unbelievable! A big-looking old man actually likes to read!

Before Edward could look at the third knight, Butler Howard's voice immediately rang out.

"Your Majesty! Devereau. The Knight Martin was originally a hereditary knight from the Lancaster family, and was transferred by His Majesty Henry VII to the vicinity of Windsor Castle, so his family owned the largest estate of the three, more than 1,500 acres! Howard's voice was filled with envy, "Knight Devere loves to hunt, and he hunts almost once a month!" ”

Hearing Howard's words, Edward looked at the knight with a little white face, and he was also the youngest knight of the three, at most twenty years old.
