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 an innate advantage over other illegitimate children.

For example, although he goes to school with other brothers and sisters, the noble children who gather around him are still the most. Even the students who are much older than him respect him, which makes his character stronger since childhood.

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, leading a group of nobles and younger brothers to play all day long, so his popularity is second only to Charlie in noble schools.

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, how can you still have time in the future given the current traffic situation?

So, generally speaking, Edward just dotes on them frequently before they remember, and plays the role of a strict father after they go to school.

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

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

As two sisters, Lucy and 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 still Lucy, who was in her twenties, and still hadn't changed her impulsive temper.

So when she heard that Henry and Adam would follow Edward to other places, and that 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 a semi-official recognition.

Luna, who was looking calm at the side, couldn't help showing surprise, and her soft eyes were full of surprise.

Although women are allowed to inherit the throne in the natural law of the Anglo-Saxons, the Europa continent still does 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 solid 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 illegitimate children inheriting the throne is very slim, and nobles will even join hands with 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.

And this time, the signal that Edward personally released is 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 some, 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?"

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

"Although this is also a good thing, when I think that Henry will leave me for such a long time, I feel very sad!"

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 many benefits. At least we can know that they will definitely have a bright 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?

Just when sister Lucy Luna was 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 illegitimate child have such a noble status?

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 there will be no wavering!"

"The present ones naturally have his deep meaning in it!" Queen Mary couldn't help but feel aggrieved for her husband.
