For Sowel to agree so happily, Amos and Gary couldn't help but smile and happily accompanied Souvel around the docks.
In the evening, sitting at the long table, this feast was not only attended by Suvel, but also by the famous merchants of the whole wharf and several tax collectors from the wharf.
And Suvier is also very happy to be able to meet so many people, so he can expand his network, after all, he is not a noble child, and it is still beneficial to know some people.
With the deliberate flattery of the crowd, and the fact that Suvier had drunk a lot of wine, the atmosphere of the whole banquet was very warm and cheerful, and it was a pleasant evening, Suvier thought to himself.
And the old-timer Bruce who brought him also had a good conversation with the surrounding merchants, and from time to time he glanced at the drunken Suvier with a smile on his face.
Eventually, Suville felt dizzy, unable to exert himself, and his consciousness was a little blurry.
In a daze, he felt himself being carried onto a soft goose-down bed, and a fair-skinned girl lay in his arms.
Finally, in the girl's delicate panting, he galloped hard, and after some time, his eyelids closed and he fell asleep.
The next day, the mild sun slowly crept up the bed that had been obsessed all night, and a few gray-colored birds pecked at their feathers and chirped from time to time, enjoying the rare good weather in London.
Souvel struggled to open his eyes, feeling his arm go numb, and his chest was heavy, as if he were pressing on something.
When I came back to my senses and looked closely, I saw a young girl with her eyes closed lying in her arms, her face with crying marks, and her arms were pillowed by her, and the two of them were skin to skin, which was a sign of the specific situation of last night.
Sowel moved, and then the girl also came to her senses, and the girl showed a well-behaved look, naked, and served him to put on his clothes under Sowel's stiffness.
Suvier didn't know what to do for a while, and he didn't know how to talk.
Immediately, when he walked out of the room, he saw Bruce and the others eating bread, and his face became more and more embarrassed.
Seeing that they were casual, he simply went straight to eat the bread brought by the servant, and then came to the study under the eyes of Amos.
A few hours later, Suvier was completely integrated into the officialdom of the era and became a new vested interest.
At this time, when the City of London was acting for the arrival of His Majesty the King, Edward and his party arrived in York, an important town in the north of England.
York, as a frontier, has always served as a base for successive kings on expeditions to Scotland and was the center of the Northern England region.
Due to the invasion of Scotland from time to time, Henry VIII set up a special Northern Affairs Committee in order to better rule the northern frontiers such as York.
After Scotland was conquered by Edward, this institution naturally did not need to be set up anymore, so after Edward arrived in Yorktown, he directly abolished this institution.
Since most of the Northern Affairs Committee was a part-time member of the Privy Council, there was little opposition after it was abolished.
As king, Edward moved directly into the city of York, with most of his retinue following him, and the Guards who had traveled long distances took the opportunity to repair.
His Majesty's presence in the city made the local nobles and gentlemen overjoyed and welcomed one after another.
As a gesture of closeness, Edward also agreed to attend banquets hosted by the nobles, which was a good opportunity to communicate with the local nobles.
As for little Lori and Queen Mary, they refused to attend the banquet on the grounds of fatigue, and Edward didn't bother to care about them.
The banquet was held in the Barron. Baron Brant's mansion was undertaken, and most of Yorktown's famous nobles and big merchants came.
Of course, banquets have always been a relaxed atmosphere, so after Edward told everyone to be casual, the atmosphere of the scene really came alive.
To say that in Europa, the direct difference between a nobleman and a king is only the size of the title and the size of the territory, and the king is generally unable to do anything to another nobleman.
But in England it was very different. Because the whole of England was conquered by William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy, and William divided the conquered English lands in order to consolidate his rule.
According to de jure terms, the whole land of England belongs to the king, and all the nobles are vassals of the king, not like the continent of Europa, where the dukes are divided into counts, the counts are divided into barons, and the barons are divided into knights, and your vassals are not my vassals.
As the king of England, in the current period of decline of aristocratic power, Edward can find a random reason to take away the land of the nobility, very simply, this is the right of the king during the Tudor dynasty.
With the exception of Baron Brandt, the other nobles were knights and great merchants, local gentlemen, who came to greet Edward from time to time, wave after wave.
After that, Edward got annoyed and left the crowd with the guards, preparing to be alone and quiet.
Edward was wandering in the back garden of His Excellency the Baron, and at the look of annoyance on His Majesty's face, no one dared to come and scold him, and Edward stopped for a moment.
Suddenly, Edward heard a string of wind chimes laughing, and not far away, a teenage girl in a long yellow dress, with an innocent smile, was playing with an ancient gray and white English shepherd dog, with a happy color on her face.
This type of shepherd is not a modern shepherd dog, but the ancestor of the modern shepherd dog. And the modern shepherd is a cross between the ancient shepherd dog and the European shepherd.
Looking at the youthful girl, Edward was a little stunned.
The girl does not have the enlarged pores characteristic of Westerners, but has a softer face, and does not have the long golden yellow hair characteristic of English, but has long black and bright hair.
What's more, she didn't wear the tunic skirt that was popular at this time to destroy women, the waist was not abnormally small, but with a sense of roundness, and the whole person looked full of girlish youth, innocent and cute.
Edward had been in England for so long, and finally met a girl who somewhat matched his aesthetics, and seemed to be infected, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Your Majesty, this is the daughter of Baron Brandt, Miss Genevie, and I have heard that His Excellency the Baron's wife is a Greek." The guards on the side, who were also children of nobles, saw His Majesty staring at the girl intently, and immediately explained in Edward's ear.
Especially seeing Edward take some nostalgic glances at the girl's long hair, and mention her mother eventfully.
When Edward heard the explanation, it instantly became clear to him that since the Byzantine Empire was destroyed by the Ottomans in 1453, Western Europeans called them Greeks, and they fled to Western Europe in a big way, so to speak, in Western Europe, Greeks are not uncommon.
And almost every year during the 100 years of Ottoman rule, Greeks fled to Western Europe, even London, to the end of their lives under Ottoman tyranny.
But it was rare to marry a Greek, let alone a nobleman.
"Let's go!" Edward was a little surprised, looked at it for a while, and then chose to leave.
