章節 159: Little boy who?

People spoke about him wherever he went. The traitor's son had entered the court at such a young age. He was the youngest to have become a courtier at the age of fifteen and now one year later the other courtiers still tried to prove that he wasn't worthy of his position.

William remembered that it was much worse for the King who had to hear it all straight from the source.
