The world changed from this moment.

In the original time and space, the Norman Duke did not have the existence of Duke William the Conqueror on his way to the Crusades, and Duke William automatically inherited the position of Duke after his father participated in the Crusades, and the power of the Duchy was held by his uncle Robert.

The personal legend of Duke William the Conqueror officially began when his father, Duke Norman, died of illness during the expedition to the East.

"William, do you want to come with me?"

A surprised expression appeared on the Norman duke's face, he did not expect that his young son would actually say such a thing, originally according to his idea, he would leave his children in the Norman Duchy, instead of risking himself to go to Byzantium.

"Yes, father, your departure has made me feel a deep sorrow and pain." William said in a deep voice, his eyes full of sadness.

"It's just attachment." The Norman Duke replied, "The child will one day grow up away from his parents." ”

"No, I wish my father a successful expedition, but I am worried about it, and I am sad about it."

"Child, war never brings joy to people, and there is no pain in war, but war is the fate that we warriors must face, whether it is you or me, whether it is on the battlefield or in life, as a prince, as a duke, born as a human being, can not be avoided, can not be avoided, so I prefer the perseverance given to you by the fairies than the weapons given by the fairies, you have a weapon that is far better than mine."

"Having perseverance is not to ignore pain, to eliminate pain, the joy of life will always be accompanied by sorrow, at least I can't, please let me go with you, I have the same great divine power as Hercules, I will fight for you with a sword, and protect you with a shield."

"Do you think my expedition will fail?" The Norman Duke feigned anger and said, "I don't remember raising you to be like this, questioning your father and your duke. ”

"Philip died in an assassination, Alexander's expedition ended in India, I think that if there were two great monarchs on the expedition at the same time, then the result would not be the same, I believe in my father, I don't question it, I just want my father to achieve greater merits, and I don't doubt the duke, because you are the current duke, and I am the future duke, so please let me follow you."

William said calmly, in the face of the Norman Duke's anger, he didn't seem to see it, even if such a thunderous anger made the nobles of the duchy tremble, but this definitely did not include William, not only the duke's love for his children, but also William's grasp of the duke's character.

At this time, William couldn't help but think of his original father and his predecessor's father, William Lao, even if William was not William's son, even if William did something wrong, no matter how William scolded him, when William was in danger, William would also sacrifice his life to save him.

The blacksmith is like this, and the duke is like this, there are no exceptions, William was able to be randomly selected from one of the two to be the son of the duke and the blacksmith, which proves that the bloodline is not really a problem, the real point is that William Jr. is the son of the goddess, and he even guesses that he does not have human blood.

"If you are gone, who will guard the Norman Duchy, who will inherit the throne, if I take part in the expedition, maybe you will be able to put a crown on your head, and if we both have an accident on the way to the expedition, William, you know, Conan of Brittania is ....."

Duke Norman took a deep breath to hide the complexity of his feelings, he looked at his child with deep eyes, his heart had already turned a monstrous wave, his child said such words, as a father it is impossible not to be moved, in the face of the request of the lovely child, at this time his determination has already been loosened, although the words he said this expedition are so swearing, but this is just a comfort, he himself may also fail, his expedition is actually just a dream journey.

Therefore, it is Norman's wish for the Duke to inherit his own property and his own country to let his children inherit it, after all, if he does not let his children inherit it, then who should he inherit it.

If the Duke of Norman and his only child, William, died unexpectedly on the way to the Crusades, then it would not be his brother Bishop Robert who was eligible to succeed to the throne of the Duke of Mandy, but Conan, Duke of Brittany, and his nephew Edward.

"Father, you said that the crown of a king is far better than that of a duke, let alone the crown of an emperor." William said calmly, his eyes did not hesitate to show a certain desire, "Although I would like to inherit your father's country, but the Norman Duchy is so prosperous and powerful under your rule, just inheriting the country cannot show my courage, it is true that it is every father's wish to hope that his children can inherit his own property, but when the children have the ability to support themselves, earn wealth through their own strength, and get merit and land, I am afraid it will make my father even more happy." ”

"I have your blood in my veins, I am a descendant of the great god Odin, and have inherited your strength and talents, so that even if we are now French and Norman, my kingdom will also wish to be obtained by my hand, just as countless sons of Odin have obtained their own country through their own strength and talents. The Roman Emperor divided the Roman Empire in two, and Charlemagne didn't divide his country into three as well? They also believe that their children can lay a wider foundation through this small foundation. ”

William looked up at his father, the meaning of his words is self-evident, I don't care about your Norman principality, I believe that I can get a bigger country by my own strength, this kind of family interests first thinking is the root of the medieval feudal system, William the Conqueror after conquering England in the past, he also gave his territory such as the title of King of England and Norman Duke to his three sons.

The Norman Duke couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and he smiled happily, and said, "Then if you and I don't return to the Norman Duchy, your cousin Edward and cousin Conan will become the second and third heirs of the Duchy." ”

Prince Edward has always acted as a transparent person in the Silver Hall, although his mother is the sister of the Norman Duke, and theoretically has the right to claim the Norman Duchy's succession, but when he heard this, he instantly felt his scalp tingle.

Conan himself was already the Duke of Brittany, a duchy of the same strength as the Norman Duchy, and as a former English prince, he was now under the fence, and he did not dare to brave the anger of the Norman nobles to claim that he had the right to inherit the forefront.

"Cousin, I have a broken sword of King Arthur, I want to give it to you, this is what my father inherited from my ancestor Alfred the Great, my mother and your father are brothers, you are my own brother in my eyes, so I am your second in line of succession, but you are also my second in line of succession."

After Prince Edward finished speaking, he handed over a broken sword, and he had not yet said anything about returning to England to inherit the throne, but the broken sword was one of his few precious treasures, so if the Norman Duke wanted his son to inherit the throne of England, then he had to protect himself from death, at least not before he became the king of England, and once he became the king of England, then he did not have to fear his uncle.

Bishop Robert's eyes were gloomy, and Prince Edward instantly chuckled in his heart, Prince William, who lived in Sanssouci Palace, was the real happy prince, and he lived a life under the fence of a parasitic man, at best, he was at best a political pawn of the Norman Duke to threaten Cnut the Great, even if the Norman Duke did not think so, but he did so, and compared to the Norman Duke, Bishop Robert was the real person who scared him.

King Arthur's broken sword, isn't that the legendary sword in stone?

I said that it is no wonder that Duke William fled in history, and he was able to escape from France to England and to King Arthur's Avalon, all of which was already predestined.
