Where Miles Hendon is concerned, he got of the pitched battle that had separated him from Edward, penilesses. He had been stolen all he got left.A few hours later, he was found prowling within the palace. He was asking about a beggar boy who said he was the King.
They took him at Edward'spresence. When he was before the boy. in the Royal hall, surrounded by the court, he exclaimed...
-well, The King of Dreams and Shadows on his throne!
Suddenly, he gathered a chair, planted it in front of the King and sat down on it. The guards ran to stop him but the King cried out...
-leave him, he ordered. I gave granted this right to him and his descendents, Remember it, he is my well-beloved savior, Miles Hendon. I orderer him knight because he saved my life in many opportunities.
Miles dropped upon his feet. Seconds after that, when he rose, he saw among the nobles the twisted face of Hugh Hendon, his heartless younger brother. When Edward discovererd it, he ordered to seize him and the Hendon's estates to be returned to Miles.
After, Tom Canty entered the hall, dressed with elegant robes and preceded by an usher.
-I am well pleased with you, Tom Canty, the King said.
-I have been told you have governed the realm with wisdom and justice. Your mother and sisters will be cared for and if you wish your father shall be hanged.And you, you will be from this day o, duirng life , governor of the shelter of the Poor.As long as my reign lasts, anybody going there will have food and a shelter.And Know you all that this Young boy has been King!He will be distinguished by the blue dress that now wears and will have the Little of king'sward.
EdwardVI lived not many years. During his reign, Miles Hendon and Tom Canty were his favorites and they both mourned bittterly his early death.
They sat there was not another reign more merciful tan that of the child King Edward, and maybe one has to reflect about the possibility that it was due to the extraordinary adventures that Edward lived, thanks to a nature fancy...That a prince and a beggar shared the same face.
