In the spring of 1031, two years had passed, and William had grown into a five-year-old man with a height of 135 cm.

The surface of the Seine glows golden in the sun, and William, dressed in a hunting suit and holding a riding bow, is chasing the deer with his beloved Andalusian horse "Lune", while behind him the hound "Fang" runs happily to keep up with his master.

"Master William, Master William, please wait." Behind him, an eleven-year-old boy also dressed in a hunting suit rode up after him.

"Yu, Faller, don't worry so much after only a few days, this is my father's county of Rouen, and there is that blind thief who dares to provoke us." William stopped in Lune's footsteps and turned to Faller and shouted.

This sturdy boy with a height of 165cm is called Faller, and the full name of the boy is Faller. Osborne, the youngest son of the old butler Osborne, was assigned by the old butler to William as a squire knight and swore allegiance at the age of 9, and the two formed a deep friendship in the past two years.

"Young Master William, Duke Robert is quelling the rebellion in the county of Mortan these days, and you are leaving the city of Rouen alone, I am worried that some nobles will be against you, young master." Faller rode to William's side and said anxiously.

"Hmph... There have been enough rebellions of the nobility in recent years, and those ambitious guys have always started rebellions by taking advantage of the mysterious death of the former Duke of Normandy, Richard III, and my identity as an illegitimate son, and I haven't learned for a few years. William flicked his horsewhip in exasperation and snorted.

"Master William, no matter what happens, Faller will always be by your side and loyal to you." As he spoke, Faller put his right hand on his chest and bowed.

"Fale, thanks to you for the past few years, I will always remember your help to me." As he spoke, William patted Faller on the shoulder.

Obviously, William, as an illegitimate child, is not as easy as ordinary people think.

In recent years, several teachers and guardian knights around William have been assassinated by opposing nobles, and even William himself has been assassinated several times, which has developed William's suspicious and ruthless character.

Once William was wandering by the river, and a child laughed when he saw William, and William asked him what he was laughing at, and he said that this was the place where William's mother gave birth to him.

At this time, William only felt inexplicable, and did not know what the child was laughing at.

The boy laughed and said that William was a mongrel, the grandson of a shoemaker, and was inferior to his dog.

Hearing this, William could not bear it, and in a fit of anger, he pushed the kid down, punched and kicked him for a long time, and finally pushed into the river.

When William was a child, there were many things like this mocking William for being a mongrel.

Sometimes if the other party is a child, William can bully him with his physical strength, but the adults laugh at him so much, William's counterattack does no harm to them at all.

"Master William, this is what I should do. Master William, go back to the Château de Rouen, for you may encounter those hateful imps who have insulted you. Faller persuaded again.

"Okay, go back, count them lucky, these little ghosts dare to insult me as a mongrel, I will directly meet them once and beat them once, and throw them into the river." As he spoke, William turned the head of his horse and threw down his whip and galloped towards the castle of Rouen.

"Master William, wait for me, drive." As he spoke, Faller whipped his horse's ass and chased after William. 、

"Hmm... Wang..."

Behind him, Faller and the hound "Fangs" followed William back to the Château de Rouen like two heels.

......

The white Château de Rouen is built on a hilltop not far from the city of Rouen, overlooking the whole of Rouen, symbolizing the supremacy of the Normandy family.

The Château de Rouen is a huge castle made of huge white and yellowish stones quarried from the city of Caen.

Its huge and majestic figure, sharp and towering beautiful shape, and white and cold appearance all tell the love and talent of the Norman people for architecture.

"Driving... Drive... Imperial

"Guard Gate, quickly lower the drawbridge, this is His Royal Highness Prince William."

Hearing Faller's shouts, the guards followed the sound to see Prince William and his attendant Faller standing outside the door on horseback.

The guards hurriedly lowered the drawbridge and opened the city gates, and William rushed into the castle on horseback, tied "Rune" in the stables, turned around and gave a few words to the shepherd and the maid who had arrived, and then turned and entered the main castle.

Unfastening his hunting suit, William went to Duke Robert's study and met his father, Duke Robert, who was sitting on it reviewing documents.

"Haha, father, I knew you were back, it was great." William ran and threw himself into Duke Robert's arms, his ice-solid face smiling genuinely.

"William, I miss you too. Are you doing okay these days? Duke Robert said lovingly stroking William's fluffy blonde hair.

"Well, I've been doing well these days, father, didn't you say you'd bring me a gift when you came back this time?" William nodded in reply.

"Uh, hahaha, William, just say what you want, as long as I can do it, I'll give it to you." Duke Robert said with an embarrassed laugh.

"Father, I want to form a companion cavalry by myself, can you help me?" William looked up at Robert and said.

"A cavalryman like Alexander the Great? Well, I agreed, but William, can you tell me why you want to form a companion cavalry? Duke Robert nodded in agreement.

"A cavalry loyal to me can protect me when you go on a campaign, and I have some ideas to test in this cavalry." William said with a serious look.

"Okay, William, can you tell me how you're going to assemble this cavalry?" Duke Robert asked in an appreciative tone.

"First of all, I would like to select young men from the knightly family who are loyal to us to form a cavalry of 120 men, aged about twelve; Then I was ready to train new cavalry tactics of intensive charge. Of course, I have some different equipment to make from scratch, and this cavalry will be different from our Norman cavalry. William stretched out the two fingers of his right hand and said confidently.

"In that case, tomorrow I will gather the children of the knight families near Rouen who are loyal to us, and let you choose them one by one. As for equipment manufacturing and procurement, you can ask the old butler Osborne for help. Robert nodded in agreement.

"Great, father, then I'll go to Osborne first, and I'll quit first." William ran out with an excited face.

"This kid is still frizzy when he's so old." Robert shook his head, but there was a loving expression on his face.
