Chapter 105: Return to Rouen

William understood that Sir Hubert had so much to do with him, and that it was impossible for him to get it all done.

Still, William gave it to Sir Hubert to do the work, because what if he could do what he wanted.

Even if it was only a few things, William felt that it was an unexpected gain.

William was not anxious about developing his territory at all, after all, he was still young and he still had plenty of time.

After arranging the affairs of Vernon's territory in the past two days, William couldn't wait to take Faller with him. Osborne, Ferdinand. Grylls, Andrew. The three Daltons, along with one hundred and twenty cavalrymen, one hundred longbowmen, and one hundred Norman hoplites, joined the Osborne steward at the Evreux County Guard.

William had just arrived outside the Evreux County Guard, and the Osborne steward had been waiting outside the Evre Gate for William's arrival, and when he saw William's appearance, the Osborne steward immediately greeted him and bowed to William:

"Master William!"

"Thank you, Steward Osborne! I'm sorry to push the whole Barony of Alençon to you. William looked at Osborne's steward's visibly aged face, and couldn't help but look at his eyes, and said with self-reproach.

"Please don't say that! This is my duty, His Highness William! Steward Osborne shook his head and said.

"All right, Steward Osborne." William put away his self-reproachful expression, nodded and said: "It's been more than a month since we came out this time, and I have a hunch that my father is about to return triumphantly, and it's time for us to return to Rouen." ”

"Do you have a hunch again? It's amazing that you were able to predict that Duke Robert was about to return triumphantly! Steward Osborne looked slightly surprised but not very surprised, it was clear that he had seen William's foreknowledge many times, and he was already surprised.

William had a strange ability from the age of two, no matter how long Duke Robert was away, three days or a month, he could accurately predict when Duke Robert would return.

"All right, Steward Osborne. Let's go to the castle and say goodbye to Uncle Robert! William pushed Osborne's butler and said.

"Yes, Master William! Count Robert is already waiting for you in the castle. Steward Osborne nodded.

The two of them were intercepting through the city of Evreux, walking through the streets of the aristocratic quarter, and led by the court minister of the Count's Court to the study in the castle.

"Uncle Robert, I'm here to see you!" As soon as William entered the study, he hurried to Count Robert's side, threw himself into his arms, and said in a coquettish tone.

"Huh! My little William, you're back, and I miss you after not seeing me for a few days. Count Robert picked William up, let William sit in his arms, kissed William's face, and said with a smile: "How is it, little William, didn't you encounter any problems during the acceptance of the territory?" Is it going well? ”

"It's going well, Uncle. With Sir Hubert's help, even some rebellion was quickly put down.

Now that I am still a minor, I have made Sir Hubert my vice-baron, and I am in charge of the realm in my place. William looked up, smiled and nodded.

"You're doing a good job, little William!" Count Robert stroked William's little head and complimented affectionately.

"Uncle, I'm going back to Rouen. I have come today to say goodbye to you. William raised his head, looked at Count Robert, and said without saying a word.

"Little William, are you going to part today?" Tears flowed from the corners of Earl Robert's eyes, and he hugged William tightly with both hands, and said reluctantly: "I really can't bear you to go, my little William!" ”

"Uncle and grandfather, I can't bear you." William's head was buried in Earl Robert's arms, and his tone was crying, "But... But... My father is returning from his expedition, and I want to go back to Rouen to see him.

Don't be sad, I'll be visiting you in Evre often. ”

As he spoke, William stretched out his hands to wipe the tears from Count Robert's face.

"Little William, remember to come back to see me, got it?" Count Robert put away his crying, put his cheek against William's head, and said affectionately.

"Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely come to Evler most of the time in the future, after all, my territory is also here!" William looked up at Count Robert and said in an affirmative tone.

Although William and Count Robert were reluctant to leave, William still hardened his mind to say goodbye to Count Robert and turned to leave.

Leaving the city of Evler, William and Osborne's steward, Faller. Osborne, Ferdinand. Grylls, Andrew. Dalton led hundreds of soldiers north along the Seine to Rouen.

When he passed through the city of Renebor again, William was about to say hello to a few people inside, but when he saw that the city gate was closed and no one came out to greet him, he didn't know whether he was weak or afraid.

William just laughed at this, and left these little feet behind in a blink of an eye, and now William is like an arrow, but he has time to take care of them.

After three days of trekking, hundreds of kilometers along the way, William was finally able to see the outline of the city of Rouen in the distance.

"Hey... William, here, here! Not far away, a nine-year-old girl in a gorgeous dress appeared on horseback and smiled happily and waved to William.

The little daughter had big eyes and a picture like Julia. Roberts has a sexy big mouth, a melon seed face with a pointed chin, a round hat, a shawl of fluffy and slightly curly black hair, and a lace-trimmed high-necked long-sleeved dress.

"Hey! Annie. Frank, I didn't expect to run into you here, haha... Hehe..."William looked at the girl in front of him and said with a reluctant smile.

Her name is Annie. Frank's maiden is Otto, president of the city of Rouen. Frank's youngest daughter, she is William's playmate, and it can also be said that William's childhood sweetheart.

Born into a Jewish merchant family, Anne was not as rigid and conservative as ordinary women from aristocratic families since she was a child, and her personality was free-spirited, youthful and lively, and she liked to play tricks on William, who looked like a little adult.

William from the 21st century also likes this girl with personality, she reminds William of the lovely girls in his previous life, and her youthful and lively atmosphere makes the clouds that have been shrouded in William's heart dissipate a lot.

Although the two were attracted to each other and slightly liked each other, Anne's father, Otto Brown, the president of the city council of Rouen. Frank is in the way between them.

It's not just a matter of businessman's background, but also because of her father, Otto. Speaker Frank and a group of city councillors sided with Count Kay, Mortan, which made it very difficult for William, as if it was a boulder pressing between the two of them.

"Woo! I've been waiting for you to come back all these days, but I didn't expect you to be so perfunctory to me! Woo... It's so sad..."Annie. Frank covered his eyes with his hands and touched the tears as if he was really sad, but William knew how the eccentric Anne could cry so easily.
