My British Empire

Chapter 554 Whisper

The eldest son Henry, the second son Adam, and the eldest daughter Alice were all born in 1555. They are almost ten years old today. They have already completed basic education and started to learn some political laws and so on.

As the true heir of the United Kingdom, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cornwall, the son of Queen Mary and Edward—Charlie, he is only seven years old this year and is still in a state of ignorance.

But as the prince of the kingdom, Charlie has inherent advantages compared with other illegitimate children.

For example, although he went to school with other brothers and sisters, the noble children who gathered around him were still the most. Even the students who were much older than him respected him, which made his character stronger since he was a child.

Moreover, he did not inherit his father's long golden hair, but instead inherited the Celtic gene of his mother, Queen Mary, with long light red hair, which made him look very handsome.

As the eldest son, Henry inherited his mother Lucy's mischievous character, and played with a group of nobles and little brothers all day long. Therefore, his popularity in noble schools is second only to Charlie.

The third son Adam is the same as his mother Luna, with a calm and calm personality, and he can naturally see his future personality clearly.

As for his eldest daughter Alice, who inherited Emma's beauty, Edward loved it very much, and his daughter often received more love than his son.

After all, the daughter will belong to someone else in the future, if you don't love her now, with the current traffic situation, how can you still have time in the future?

Therefore, generally speaking, Edward just spoiled them frequently before they remembered, and played the role of strict father after school.

Therefore, in the eyes of Henry, Adam and others, their father was usually busy, but he was strict when he got home. He cared about daily life and attitude towards life, rather than studying.

This time, he abruptly said that he would take them to play together, and he seemed to go with them in a semi-public manner, which was more interesting.

As two sisters, Lucy Luna, their living and bedrooms are adjacent to each other, so the relationship between Henry and Adam is also the closest.

"You said, your father is going to let the few of you go out with him, and bring Charlie?"

Henry and Adam stood in a row with their legs folded and stood side by side, looking nervous.

Sitting in front of them were the sisters Lucy and Luna, who had changed from a young girl to a young woman. They were startled, but it was still Lucy. She was in her twenties, and she still hadn't changed her impulsive temper.

Therefore, when she heard that Henry and Adam would follow Edward to other places, and Charlie was among them, Lucy had a surprised expression on her face.

Doesn't this just prove that after his son is about to appear in front of the nobles, he will also appear in front of the people of the country and officials from all over the country?

It is a great grace for an illegitimate child to receive such semi-official recognition.

And Luna, who was looking indifferent at the side, couldn't help showing a look of surprise, and her soft eyes were full of surprises.

Although the natural law of the Anglo-Saxons allowed women to inherit the throne, the Europa continent still did not allow women to inherit the throne, and this tradition from France was brought to England by William the Conqueror, Duke of Normandy.

Therefore, the whole of Britain is still conservative, and the attitude towards illegitimate children is also the same, but it is a little better than Europe.

For example, Henry VIII blatantly and directly canonized his six-year-old illegitimate son, Henry Fitzroy, as the Duke of Richmond. This is a real title and has a series of fiefdoms.

Even Henry VIII had plans to directly break the rules and let his illegitimate son inherit the throne.

As a result, the Duke of Richmond died early in his teens, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable.

Lucy and Luna understand the current system in England and Europe, the possibility of an illegitimate child inheriting the throne is very slim, and the nobles will even join forces with the lowly commoners to resist the king.

Just like the Magna Carta movement hundreds of years ago.

However, there should be a chance to extravagantly seek titles and rights.

But this time, the signal Edward personally released was the same, to give these illegitimate children a chance, a chance for them to participate in political games.

"Henry, Adam, just remember to go out this time, listen more and talk less, this is what you should do, you know?"

After digesting a bit, Luna showed a stern expression, stared at her and her younger sister's son with extremely serious eyes, and exhorted.

"You are still young, in front of your father, you don't need to express any opinions, just choose to listen and learn, you know?"

"I know mother (aunt)!" Henry and Adam agreed in unison, nodding their little heads.

"Although this is a good thing, it makes me sad to think that Henry will leave me for such a long time!"

The two little guys only vaguely know the general idea, but when they think of going out to play, going to a strange place, away from their mother's strict discipline and the ubiquitous rules in the palace, they are naturally happy and bouncing around. He jumped away from his mother and went to play.

When no one was around, Lucy showed a trace of melancholy at this moment, threw herself on her sister, and started talking.

"It's okay. They will always go out in the future. Besides, going out this time will bring them a lot of benefits. At least, we can know that they will definitely be successful in the future, right?"

Luna comforted her sister, but her heart was also full of worries about her son, especially what would happen if he accidentally offended Edward? What should I do in the future?

When sisters Lucy and Luna were both happy and sad, Alice also told Emma about going out with her father.

For this, she who was born as an orphan was immediately filled with great enthusiasm. For her youngest son George, the future is very bright, especially with a favored daughter who loves the house and the black, George's future is very promising .

At this time, the Queen Mother of Scots, who heard the news, showed a trace of anger: "Edward, what is he doing? The illegitimate children go to school, and they want to bring them to the people. Don't you know that this is the royal family?" scandal? Doesn't he know that Charlie is his real heir?"

As Queen Mary, who is truly loved by the contemporary nobles, she is naturally dissatisfied with Edward's actions. When did the status of an illegitimate child become so lofty?

Although it is impossible to inherit the throne, it still poses a slight threat to her grandson Charlie, which she cannot bear.

"Mother, Edward told me that Charlie is the undisputed crown prince of the United Kingdom, and he will not be shaken in any way!"

"As for the present, there are naturally his deep meanings in it!" Queen Mary couldn't help but feel aggrieved for her husband.
