This is another lovely story from you. I can imagine how the Bastard will fell if he is being called Bastard all the time. He will feel extremely bad but I'm glad that he has a job he's doing to survive. I'm also wondering why he has never met his father nor mother before. Maybe they both dumped him after they gave birth to him.
Also, I am trying to imagine how he will feel after hearing a good news and bad news. The good news is that his father is the King of France and the bad news is that his mother is dead. Now, I am trying to think of how he will feel when he heard the news but I'm sure that he will be working towards meeting his father.
I think that is why he told the nobleman that he has a strong blood or something like that which means that he has it in mind to meet his father.
I just want to know the steps that he wants to take in meeting his father and I also hope he does not reveal that he is the prince if France to anyone so he won't get killed.
