It wasn't long before a series of footsteps stopped in the hallway outside. Immediately, there was an unobtrusive knock on the door.

The three people in the lounge were already ready, and Victor spoke, "Please come in." ”

The five teenagers rushed in, starting with the shield-bearer of the Bastern family, who carefully surveyed the room and nodded steadily to the back to signal safety. Then, the sword-wielding knights of the House of Leopold were at Edward's side, followed by the archers-wielding knights of the House of Greyward and the horse-bearers of the House of Ludwigsi.

The young knights were meticulous, but Victor could see the traces of rehearsals and the elements of the game.

After all, they are not yet 13 years old, which is the age of youth.

The psychological superiority of adults gives Victor a condescending view of the little king and his young knights.

Well, maybe it's contempt, and if you dig deeper, it becomes jealousy.

The little king was dressed in a leather tight-fitting hunting suit, with a beautifully crafted kite-shaped gold epaulette, a white semi-short cloak, and high-top leather boots on his feet.

Edward inherited the handsome appearance of the Augustian family, but the exposed skin was slightly brown, especially the hands were rough, and there were many calluses between the fingers, which were the traces left by the long-term practice of various weapons, with a full forehead, a high nose bridge, and a tight lip line, giving people an impression of perseverance, and the pair of honest and enthusiastic eyes made him as warm and pure as the morning light.

This kid is so handsome...... Victor secretly praised.

When Victor first crossed over, he was particularly surprised by the transcendent beauty of Sophia and the high-ranking female knights, which almost reached the retouching effect of earth shooting technology. It wasn't until later that he realized that the transcendent knights were moving towards the unity of heaven and man, and that they were all of excellent appearance, even the Marquis of Goron, who deliberately left a scar, gave people a rugged sense of perfection.

However, the outward appearance of the transcendent knights is the embodiment of their spiritual will, and unless they take the initiative to show affection, they always give a sense of inviolable majesty or holiness.

Edward and his little knights are sunny and handsome, heroic, and the vigorous youthful vitality makes people involuntarily want to be close to them, and the tacit understanding and trust they use body language to communicate are even more enviable. It's like a child always thinking about joining a small group.

Deep feelings are cultivated from childhood sweethearts. It's no wonder that extended families have a tradition of exchanging minor children. The Duke of York was also surrounded by a group of loyal knights, who claimed to have been in love with Audair as a teenager, and he was probably not boasting.

Victor gathered his thoughts, stepped forward and saluted, "Your Majesty, good day." He straightened up, glanced out of the door, and asked with a smile, "Didn't His Royal Highness Roland come?"

As a transcendent of the ancient bloodline, Victor did not need to pay a vassal salute to the younger king in an informal setting. Moreover, there was no Edward in this private meeting, and his sudden visit was strange.

"Victor, long time no see. ”

"Sister Lingna, hello. ”

Edward didn't answer Victor's question, just smiled and said hello, then turned his gaze to Angelina, and said enthusiastically, "Anna." I learned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs that you had arrived at the Kiteburg and had come to see you! It was great that you could come and see me!"

"Your Majesty, I'm not here to see you......" Anna's nose wrinkled slightly, pursed her petal-like mouth, raised her chin, and said arrogantly. It's just that the corners of her lips are raised, and her beautiful big eyes are bent into a crescent shape, and that happiness can't be hidden.

Edward stared blankly at the girl, and it wasn't until Anna rolled her eyes that he woke up. The little king blushed, and said, "Ah, you didn't come to see me? Oh, it doesn't matter. Anyway, you're here...... I promised to take you to see the den of the kite-fort...... There are all kinds of beasts in there...... Oh, by the way, I'll introduce you to four good friends first. ”

"Hello, Miss York. I'm Edward's horseman, Ebenezer Ludwigsi...... Edward said that there was a crab in the Everglades west of the Centaur Hills that was bigger than a tea table and delicious...... Is it true?"

"When did I say it's the size of a tea table? I mean bigger than a silver basin......" Edward hastened to argue.

"Miss York, I am His Majesty's sword-wielding knight, Millshak Leopold. You can call me Mick...... By the way, can I call you Anna?"

Four young apprentice knights surrounded Anna, scrambling to introduce themselves. Victor and Caterina, who were snubbed by the king, looked at each other.

What's going on?

When Victor first met Edward, the little prince was just over 2 years old, which is equivalent to a little boy about 4 years old on earth. And Caterina watched Edward be born. Edward has a vague impression of his childhood playmates and fiancée, and naturally does not have much affection for Victor and Katerina.

What's more, Caterina had changed the kid's wet pants, and he had also wiped saliva on Victor. For the young king, these troubles are good that no one mentions them.

In contrast, girls of the same age who are bright and touching are much cuter.

The question is, when did Edward and Anna meet?

Victor remembered that Edward had visited the Centaur Hills. According to etiquette, the direct children of the House of York were to entertain the little prince. It was probably at that time that Edward met Anna, who was of a similar age by noble blood and a similar age, and formed a friendship.

Edward lived in Kite Castle to a queen mother, a golden knight, and two fiancées were the daughters of the High Lord. He was surrounded by either adult knightly nobles with strong personalities or attendants who treated him with respect. Growing up in this environment, Edward was particularly adept at dressing up as a noble woman, and at the same time longed for equal communication partners. And Angelina is prominent, and there are almost no peers in the York family who can be equal to her. When the arrogant Angelina meets the easy-going little prince, the two naturally become good friends.

Twelve years old is the age when friendship and love are silly indistinguishable. When young boys and girls reunite after a long absence, they will inevitably blush and heartbeat, and their feelings will be secretly born.

Anna and Edward are in love, and that kind of proud and shy, happy and sweet appearance makes people yearn for it.

Victor couldn't be happier.

First love does not contain a trace of impurities, pure and beautiful. Whether it is on the earth or in this world, there are many stories that praise love, among which there are always evil parents and evil brothers who try to separate the hero and heroine who truly love each other. Without exception, they have become villains in love stories and are reviled by the world.

However, when the matter fell on their own heads, everyone became "evil parents" and "evil brothers".

If you want to take my baby bump away, you must first have full sincerity and the ability to take responsibility, and finally you can talk about love.

Victor is not Anna's parent brother, Edward and Anna are eye-to-eye, and he doesn't feel like his little cabbage is arched by pigs. But as the lord of the Centaur Hills and the guardian of Angelina Branstätt York, Victor thinks he needs to be the "wicked man" who kills his first love.

Completely unaware that her guardian was planning to ruin her reunion with Edward, Anna was excitedly asking the little king, "Edward, what is your prey for this hunt?"

"A very large male bear. The Knight with the Bow interjected.

"It's a bully bear in the woods of Minsk, and it can eat up a live bull in one meal. However, the court master began to cut off its food, and finally starved it for two days to make it more ferocious. The Shield-wielding Knight continued.

"Don't worry, I can handle it. Edward said confidently.

"I'm not worried about you, I'm only worried about the bear. I hope it won't be scared by the king, in that case the hunt will be too boring. Anna shook her head and sneered, her little glowing face like a blooming flower, so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.

This may be the reason why the maiden attracted Edward, and the other ladies of the court would only tell the king to be careful, but ignore the pride of the boy.

Edward looked at Anna stupidly, without blinking an eye. Anna lowered her head shyly, then raised her head again, and glanced at him in disgust.

Edward realized his gaffe, and he slapped his chest in disguise and said, "I promise it's going to be a wonderful hunt! Well, when the time comes, I'll give you the bear's fang...... Its teeth are long and sharp...... By the way, do you want to see it?"

"Yes!" said Anna happily.

Victor finally couldn't take it anymore. Before Anna and Edward could leave, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please stay!"

Edward stopped and asked curiously, "Victor, is there anything wrong with you?" Oh, by the way, Sister Roland will be here in a moment, you and Sister Lena might as well wait." ”

The little princess of the York family is about to be abducted by you, and you ask me what is the matter? The king who grew up in the kite castle doesn't even know the minimum etiquette?

Victor complained in his heart, but he maintained an elegant and warm smile on his face, "I didn't receive an official invitation from the kiteburg, and neither did Anna. ”

"Oh, that's it......," Edward said, "Then I now formally invite Anna to visit the den of the Kite Castle." There was a hint of anticipation and pleading in his eyes.

Victor laughed, but shook his head, "Not today." Nor could the king summon Angelina Branstedt York. With that, Victor's gaze crossed over to Edward and said majestically, "Anna, come back." ”

It's a pity that Victor has a soft appearance and an elegant temperament, and he doesn't have much lethality with a straight face. Anna pouted and stood still aggrieved. This gave Edward great confidence, and he looked at Victor as if he were a rival in love.

Edward stood in front of Anna and said with his head held high, "Randall, in the name of King Gambis, I invite Miss York to visit the Kite Castle!"

"This is His Majesty's request!" said the shield-wielding knight of the Bastern family, stepping forward and gritting his teeth. It's just that his eyes fluttered wildly, and he didn't dare to look directly into Victor's eyes. Faced with a transcendent of an ancient bloodline, the little apprentice knight of the Bastern family seemed to lack confidence.

However, Edward could only see his majestic back. The rest of the young knights did the same, and stepped forward one after another, cheering each other on, their eyes widening, trying to force Viscount Randall to give up with their immature gaze.

Including Anna, every little trainee knight here resonates with 11 elemental slots, which belongs to the senior trainee knight. And they can step into the bronze realm at any time. However, since the body and mind of teenagers are not yet mature, they must first exercise their bodies and will, and then resonate with the later elemental bits when they become adults. Only in this way will the knight's path be smoother.

The base attribute is low, and the improvement effect brought by the Dou Qi Resonance element bit is very limited. Edward's current combat ability is not as good as that of an adult trainee knight of ordinary blood.

Combined, these five little guys are not enough for Victor to fight with one hand.

Victor, of course, could not teach the king and his knights of the oath. Caterina smiled beside her without saying a word, looking like she was watching a good show.

So, Victor decided to see Edward's bad luck, and he said in embarrassment: "Since it is the king's request...... Well, as you wish, Your Majesty. ”

Edward was overjoyed, and he smiled happily, "Victor, thank you." Belch...... At the hunting party, I treat you to bear ribs. Then he took Anna's little hand and walked out.

"Let's get out of the way, while it's ......"

"Your Majesty, please pay attention to your etiquette. ”

With a cold and pleasant voice, a slender figure appeared in the doorway, just blocking Edward and Anna's way.

This tall young lady did not wear any jewelry, wearing a white palace dress, brown hair, light blue eyes, very delicate facial features, snow-white and crystalline skin without blood, cherry lips are only a faint pink, coupled with a cold temperament, she is like a beauty carved by ice and snow.

Needless to say, this is a high-ranking knight.

When the four Knights of the Oath saw her, they stood straight in place, one by one.

"Hi...... Margaret...... You're here too......" The little king twisted his stiff neck and smiled dryly, but instead of letting go of Anna's soft little hand, he gripped it tighter.

Margaret Wellington, daughter of the House of Wellington, Silver Knight, fiancée of Edward August, and future Queen of the Gambis. Her mother was the guardian of House Wellington, the Knight of the Storms, Sylar Wellington, and her father was the Duke of Wellington, but her biological father was the Marquis of Gronn Auguste, the Knight of Gold.

Ever since Sylvia kidnapped Caterina, Queen Catherine has asked the Duke of Wellington for marriage. The Duchess of Wellington was reluctant to send the blood of the Golden Knight to the royal palace, but the Duke of Wellington, out of political considerations, persuaded the family guardians to send Margaret to the Kite Castle to become a strong backup for Catherine's mother and son.

It was because of Margaret's special relationship with the Marquis of Goron that the Guardians of the Kingdom maintained a neutral stance in the event that the eldest princess refused to ascend the throne, and in fact, supported Edward's ascension to the throne.

The Wellington family paid a huge price, but it also reaped a great reward. Two queens are enough to secure the interests of the Wellington family for decades to come. Especially in the context of the Great Frontier, the intimacy between the Wellington family and the Kite Castle is precious.

Margaret came from a prominent background, but Angelina didn't lose to her either.

As the little princess of the York family, she also has the blood of the Golden Knight, with the dual inheritance of Branstaid and the York family, her parents are the Grand Knight, her aunt is the Spirit Knight, and the guardian is the Marquis of Wimbleton, and the other is the Moon Elf nobleman of the ancient bloodline. Most importantly, Edward gave the proud maiden great courage.

She held the little king's hand with an innocent expression, "Wow, what a beautiful sister...... Edward, is she your court lady?"

In the face of Anna's provocation, Margaret's gaze only collided with Caterina's. I don't know when, Caterina's aura is full of energy, and her demeanor is not lost to the future queen of Gambis. In the middle of the two high-ranking female knights, the junior trainee knights had to stand aside.

Victor finally understood why Caterina's fighting spirit had just come from.

One predecessor, one current ...... Edward still had a ...... in his hand But why is that? You even have a child, and you have to fight for the little king? Is it because you changed this boy's diaper?

Margaret withdrew her gaze, turned to Anna, and said coldly and earnestly, "Miss York, I am not Edward's court lady, but I am certainly the first woman to sleep with Edward, for I am his fiancée, Margaret Wellington. ”

Edward Auguste covered his face with his hands, and his Knights of Oaths were messy in the wind.

Anna: "......"

Caterina: "......"

Victor: "......"

"Your Majesty, a vassal of a vassal is not a vassal of yours. The king should abide by the duty of respect, must protect the prestige and reputation of the vassal, and is not allowed to beat the vassal, and not to molesting the vassal's wife or daughter. Margaret continued.

In the cold eyes of the future queen, Edward finally let go of Anna and muttered, "Anna is my friend. ”

Margaret thought for a moment and shook her head calmly: "She's still underage. Her guardian does not approve of you taking her away. ”

Anna and Edward looked at Victor as if asking for help.

"I really can't agree. Victor shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Don't agree with what?" Victor's white-blond hair jumped into Victor's eyes, and Roland, dressed in a hunting suit, appeared at the door.

She jumped in front of Caterina with her half-heeled leather boots and gave her close friend a big hug, "Honey, I'm so glad to see you." ”

"Wow, Caterina, you're so beautiful today. The whole Kite Castle is overshadowed by your arrival. Roland let go of his close friend and exclaimed exaggeratedly. As he spoke, he glanced at Margaret obliquely.

Victor suddenly realized.

Only Roland could have done such an outrageous thing. She deliberately asked Caterina to suppress the future queen and support her brother. And Katerina was able to become a confidant with Roland, and she also had a coquettish and willful side.

It can only be said that ordinary people cannot understand the friendship between these two women...... Well, it's the same smell.

However, Margaret can force Roland to this point, and it is also a one-in-a-hundred superlative.

Roland paced in front of Victor, narrowed his eyes, and stretched out his white and slender palm, "Where's my gift?"

"There. Victor pointed to the wooden box in the closet, and was about to turn around to get it, but Roland stepped on his right foot.

The high-heeled leather boots crushed against Victor's instep, and Roland wrinkled his nose and snorted, "Why don't you bring the cutie here?" She rolled her eyes and said, "Since Bertina didn't come, let Angelina play with me for a few days." ”

Victor bared his teeth and said angrily, "Dream! Anna must go back with me, and Caterina can stay with you for two days." ”

"Four big hourglasses...... I'll go to the den of the kiteburg and I'll go back with you. Please, my lord. Anna said pitifully.

"Victor, I promise you. Katerina also began to intercede for Anna.

"Okay. Victor finally nodded in agreement.

Roland took the opportunity to rub Victor's head twice, trying to touch his ears, but Victor dodged him.

"Hmph! Roland grimaced at Victor, walked to the closet, picked up the wooden box, and said proudly, "Let's go." ”

Before leaving the door, the eldest princess said to Margaret, "Help me entertain Viscount Randall...... Margaret, if you are willing to smile, it must be beautiful. ”

Margaret nodded coldly, but did not mean to laugh.

After Roland and the others left the lounge, Margaret walked three meters in front of Victor, took a soft breath, and said calmly: "Your Excellency Randall, you smell very good. ”

Victor was speechless, and heard her say again, "Roland wants you to tempt me. ”

“...... This is doomed to be futile. Victor stepped back onto the couch and couldn't help asking, "Miss Wellington, do you always speak so directly?" Sit casually, here, you are the master. ”

Margaret found a chair and sat down, still keeping a distance of three meters from Victor, "There is no need to hide what you can say, and if you can't say it, don't say it." ”

"Well, that might not be very flattering...... But I respect your habits. Victor said.

"Thank you. Margaulette nodded and said expressionlessly, "Neither His Royal Highness nor Edward Roland dislikes me. ”

"I don't see it that way. Victor shook his head and smiled: "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is ...... to people Very enthusiastic, if she doesn't like anyone, she will ignore anyone, and she will never deliberately trouble him. It should be said that you have aroused her interest, she wants to change you, or she wants to make you happy. As for Edward...... It can only be said that your attitude and the way you talk put a lot of pressure on him. ”

Margaret looked at Victor quietly for a moment, and said, "Edward will be a good husband, a good father, a good friend, and I will make him a good king, because this is a political marriage." It is my responsibility to nurture him. ”

"There can also be love in a political marriage. Auguste's children and grandchildren always pursued love before considering political marriage. You've frustrated Edward by doing this, and you can change your strategy and then raise a good king. ”

"But I don't love him now. Unless he becomes a good king. ”

I can't talk anymore. Victor could only keep silent, admiring an ice beauty.

At this time, a roll call of court attendants came from outside the door.

"Her Majesty the Queen Mother has arrived. ”
