  Chapter 3 The Future Earl of Leicester

  Dozens of noble youths carried out Baron Smith's orders meticulously. The youths tightly pressed their lips together, allowing the sweat to flow freely from their foreheads. Teenagers know that practicing sweat at this time is a straw that may save your life at any time.

  The arrival of Edward and Elizabeth did not disturb the training of the teenagers at all, and they also consciously stood aside, admiring the training of the teenagers. After a while, seeing that Smith and the others had no intention of stopping, Edward shook his head boredly, his eyes wandering around unconsciously. Immediately, he saw that his sister's eyes were not right, and she kept staring at a black-haired boy.

hehe! The girl is also at the age of spring, but this guy is not very handsome! Do you want to think about it. Edward unconsciously thought of his sister.

  Robert Dudley was the fifth son of John Dudley, Earl of Warwick. Because I like mathematics, I went to the royal family to study and learn riding skills by the way. It is rumored that before Elizabeth I came to power, Robert Dudley was her good friend. The two had known each other since childhood, and they were even imprisoned in the Tower of London together. When Elizabeth I learned that she had become queen, she immediately appointed Robert as the royal horse officer, responsible for all the queen's large ceremonies, in charge of all the dogs and horses of the royal family, and gave him the title of Lord the next year.

   According to legend, Elizabeth I had many lovers, but her favorite was Robert Dudley. And Robert also knows the reason why Elizabeth did not have a family. The failed marriage of her parents and the marriage of her sister Mary I cast too much shadow on her when she was young. However, Robert still served Elizabeth I for life. He always believed that if If there must be a husband, it must be me.

  Robert has been married many times, and Queen Elizabeth has been angry about it, but the result is forgiveness. Later, for some political purposes, Elizabeth I named Robert the Earl of Leicester, and wanted him to marry Mary Stuart, the widowed Queen of Scots at the time, but Robert refused.

  Robert died in Coinbury Manor in 1588. After hearing the bad news, the queen seemed to have lost her soul. She locked herself in the room without eating or drinking for a long time, and was finally rescued by the ministers.

  Because of some political reasons and Elizabeth's own psychological reasons, Queen Elizabeth has never been married. While most people still think that Robert Dudley is mainly responsible, Tudor supporters have always classified him as a sinner.

  Edward felt a shudder at the thought that he might be childless. "However, I have been sick all the time in my previous life, so I'm afraid I'm powerless! It shouldn't be a problem with my fertility!" Edward immediately comforted himself, "I'm no longer a weak chicken like my previous life! Travelers won't be so unlucky..."

  Edward thought a lot, but the real time only passed for a while, "Should I break them up?" Edward became concerned about his sister again, "Forget it, I shouldn't die early, let nature take its course..."

   After half an hour, the teenagers dispersed and rushed towards Edward and the others like a tide. Competing to salute Edward and Elizabeth as knights. As expected, it won't be long before Edward is the object of their allegiance. Henry VIII's physical condition is a secret to others, but it should not be too easy for them as guards.

  Edward had no aversion to the fawning of the guards, and greeted them one by one with a smile, with a sincere smile on his small face. It is very necessary for the guards to make friends with the future King, and the prince's smile is the best response to their behavior.

  Elizabeth felt that her younger brother gave people a special feeling now, as if her father greeted the ministers, full of confidence and calmness, and responded to various greetings with ease. It seemed that the younger brother who often teased her had grown up all of a sudden, and a feeling of joy and worry lingered in her heart, which made Elizabeth at a loss.

After dismissing the curiosity of the guards, Edward came directly to Baron Smith and stopped the baron from saluting, "Mr. Baron! Can I ride Arthur to practice with you today? You agreed yesterday!" Edward said with Said in a proud tone, with a look of anticipation on his face.

   "Of course! I, Iron Man Smith, will do what I say!" Smith made a firm promise, but why did he have a helpless tone.

Knowing that the baron is worried about his health, "Uncle Smith, you know my recent physical condition, and it is almost the same as Robert's!" Although I know that Edward is bragging, it is indeed not the same as before. 'Professor' William

  It was only a little bit close.

  As the name suggests, the 'Professor' is the thinnest kid among the group of guards—William Walpole, so he got an elegant nickname. Of course, it's an insulting term for a group of would-be knights dedicated to merit.

  Afterwards, Smith coughed, and all the teenagers immediately focused their attention, "Every knight, practice more now, and I will check later!" Smith said in a slightly stern tone.

   "Yes, Master Smith!" The teenagers promised loudly.

  Smith led the way ahead, walking step by step with a rattling sound, which was the sound of the chain mail shaking on his body. Smith is a rigorous person, and he usually wears his armor and his hand with a knife.

   Riding on the little pony Arthur, you will be a veritable Prince Charming.

  Leaving Hampton Court Palace, Edward was very happy. After all, he lived for five years, and of course, adding the four years of his predecessor, it would be nine years. The same was true for Elizabeth. She had witnessed her mother's tragic death since she was a child, and she didn't have a good impression of Hampton Court Palace. Leaving Hampton Court Palace would make her feel a lot easier.

  Hampton Palace is known as the "British Versailles Palace", a model of the British Tudor palace. Cardinal Wolsey purchased this area in 1514, and construction began in 1515. The palace was built completely in Tudor style, with 1,280 rooms inside, which was the most magnificent building in the country at that time. Later, Ossey attracted the dissatisfaction of the king because of his wealth, and after his death in 1530, the palace was owned by Henry VIII. Henry VIII and Ann Pauline moved into this palace and began to expand it. King Edward I of England was born here. It is said that Elizabeth I used this place as a love nest to avoid the eyes and ears of Congress.
