Great to start another new story. I must confess that your story you always share is always interesting and worth reading every single time. At first I was shocked wondering how can someone name be called bastard. Instead he should have been named orphan then. Life must have really been hard on that boy not having both father and mother.
How life will have been more pathetic for him to discover that his father is even the king of France. Well thank God the great eagle came to meet him to tell him what he needs to hear ahead before the time as that will save him from a lot of calamity. The bastard must have really been loved by many due to his loving Personality I strongly believe that.
Love finally find the hands of the child and he fall in love with a young lady. I strongly believe that for the lady to have won the heart of the boy, the lady must really be so so beautiful.
