Hendon thought that boy was completely crazy and he did not want to contradict him. In the morning, as i corresponded to a King, he remained standig while Edward was having his breakfast.
He took the opportunity to tell him who he was. It was a long and complicated story we shall resume as follows...Hendon came from a rich family, from the low nobility.He was the second of three brothers.
The youngest had plotted against him, to make his father believ Miles had wanted to steal his eldest brothers' woman. The father believed such a lie and Miles abandoned his house, to go to fight as a soldier in the Continent.
After many hard knocks he had come back to London penniless.And when he was going to star his trip to his land, he met that peculiar and arrogant litlle boy who thought he was the Prince of Wales.
When he ehard that story, the Little King was infuriated by Miles youngest brothers'treachery.
And he told the soldier he could name whatever he wanted, that would grant it to him. Miles Hendon, who wasalready feeling his legs wearied asked him,then, for him and his heirs to be able to sit in the presence of the King.
Edward not only granted him this right, he also knighted him. Hendon, at last. could drop heavily into a chair.
Edward, too, told him his story...Miles took it as part of the boy's deliirum. Feeling sorry for him, he proposed him to travel to the Hendon's land where he could be safe from the brutal Canty, whose existence he did not doubt. Edward's conditions showed he was the son of an underworld man.
