Chapter 16: My Stepsister Is Strange!
My name is Scott Pree. No, it's supposed to be Scott Iberkar by now.
A few days ago, he was adopted as an adopted son by the Duke of Ibecar, and it is said that the marriage of the two eldest ladies is a prince, and the duke's family has no one to inherit.
Of course, when the Duke made this suggestion to his father, his father wept bitterly and agreed, after all, it was impossible for the Prey family to be revived.
In the past, the Prey family also had a beautiful time, when my father was still a general of the kingdom, and my family still lived in a mansion as big as the Duke of Ibekar's family.
However, because his father was involved in a conspiracy between nobles and fought against each other, he became a substitute for the dead, and then the family property was confiscated, and his father was demoted to a commoner.
Then unfortunate things followed, my mother was already in poor health, and with the blow of this incident, she was depressed all day long, her health became worse and worse, and finally passed away.
I lost my identity and was laughed at by my classmates in the school, and in the end, I couldn't bear it anymore and taught a lesson to my classmates who laughed at my father, and I was kicked out of the school.
After that, I lived with my father, and from that time on, I was full of resentment towards the nobility.
The nobility did not have a good thing! That's what I thought at the time.
However, one day, a man dressed as a nobleman approached my father, and I didn't know what he had to say to him, so he knelt down in front of the man dressed as a nobleman, and I later learned that this nobleman was the Duke of Ibecar himself.
At that time, I was still very disgusted with the aristocracy, and when I saw this, I only felt disgusted, and I had harmed my family like this, so I didn't want to let us go!
After that, the nobleman's carriage took my father and me to the mansion of the Duke of Ibecar, and arranged for us to have a large annex as a place to stay, and my father said to me with a happy face, "This is our new home!"
However, I still don't understand why my father had to deal with nobles!
When I arrived at the duke's house, I learned that the duke had hired his father as a swordsmanship instructor for his precious daughter. It was also the first time I met the eldest lady Elisabeth Ibecar, who was not a stepsister at the time.
When I first saw her, her appearance was indeed like an eldest lady raised by an aristocratic family, with long blond hair with some natural curls, a slender face, stilted and sharp eyes, and aqua blue pupils, which could make a deep impression at a glance.
Of course, it's the kind of "oh hehehe!" that puts your fingers to the corners of your mouth and makes a loud "oh hehehe!" at any time. "It's a very unpleasant impression.
My father was hired to instruct the eldest lady, but in the aristocratic circles, there was no eldest lady who would learn swordsmanship, at least I had never heard of it.
What about the level of this eldest lady? It can only be described as a mess, except that the sword posture is quite beautiful.
However, my father asked me to be the eldest lady's sparring partner, but I naturally felt disgusted when I had a grudge against the nobles.
The next day, I dropped it as a matter of course, and turned away the eldest lady who wanted to visit her.
But this strange eldest lady still didn't give up on me, and came again the next day, this time with her father and her sister, and I still didn't give her a good look.
After that, she really surprised us all, not only jumped directly on my bed to meet my forehead, but also took off her socks and threw them in my face on the spot.
By the way, the eldest lady's socks are still in my bedside table, not to keep a souvenir or anything, but I haven't been able to find a chance to return them to her! Not really!
The next day, the eldest lady came to me angrily with a wooden sword, and proposed a duel, knowing that this eldest lady was level, I naturally ignored her.
However, the act of her calling me a puppy and going around in circles did make me angry, so I should play with her.
After that, I knocked the wooden sword out of her hand, and then she picked it up and came back, pretending that she wasn't ready.
What if you're ready?
After repeating the scene of picking up the wooden sword and then flying and picking it up again countless times, I got bored, what did this eldest lady want?
In the end, I was dominated by anger and directly attacked the eldest lady, but fortunately, the third prince Becas appeared in time, and the eldest lady was not injured, and at the same time calmed me down.
Subsequently, the eldest lady who had been tossed so hard still did not give up, and still raised the wooden sword to me, obviously unable to stand steadily, but the eldest lady still did not give up.
At this point, I understand that this eldest lady is indeed not an ordinary aristocratic eldest lady, obviously I am the aristocrat I hate so much.
Tenacity, boldness, and the character that you will definitely do if you want to do it, all of the eldest lady's possession is something I don't have.
In the end, I conceded defeat, completely lost to the eldest lady, and what surprised me the most was that in the end, the eldest lady's request turned out to be to make friends with me.
The figure of the eldest lady who worked so hard to make friends with me completely fascinated me.
In the end, the eldest lady smiled and forgave me. I understand that now I am not qualified to stand by the side of the eldest lady, I must temper myself well, one day! At that time, I was secretly determined.
Later, my father told me that when my father was regarded as a substitute for death, he was supposed to be condemned to death, but it was because of Duke Ibekar's mediation that my father was spared the death penalty, and after that, Duke Ibekar kept secretly helping my family, and finally found an excuse to take my father and me into the duke's house.
It turns out that not all the nobles are bad people, at least, the Duke of Ibecar's family is not.
By the way, after becoming the adopted son of the Duke of Ibecar's family, there is not only Miss Elizabeth, but also Miss Slokaj, who is one year younger.
What does this little righteous sister say? Sticking to Miss Elizabeth all day long, she is obedient to the eldest lady, and looks like a well-behaved and docile little flower cat to others.
However, whenever I approached the eldest lady, the little flower cat immediately turned into a cheetah, and its sharp eyes glared at me viciously, as if the prey on its mouth was about to be snatched away, which really made me very embarrassed.
Miss Elizabeth also has a betrothed person, that is, the third prince Beccas Bell, and this genius prince who is known in the mouth of the people will appear in the Duke's mansion every once in a while, and I am afraid he will be the same as me.
This prince is indeed a genius, and because he often comes, he occasionally comes to accompany Miss Elizabeth to practice swords, and then he will also ask me to compete with swords.
By the way, the current battle is 20-20 in 40 fights.
Today, the prince, as usual, ran out into the garden after admiring Miss Elizabeth's "elegant" sword skills, burst into laughter, and then came to me again to compete with his sword.
"Today is the 41st battle!" The third prince, Bekas, put himself on a stand.
"Yes, His Highness Bekas." I was also prepared, and I have to admit that this prince is indeed very powerful.
"Huh? Slokay, how can His Highness Becas compare his sword with his brother Scott, how can it be as if he has seen an enemy who killed his father! "Miss Elizabeth was watching the battle with her sister-in-law, Miss Slokay.
"Miss, I'm still alive and well!" My father didn't forget to complain on the side.
"Sister, don't bother with the boy's business, come and ...... Mouth...... Ahh
"Huh? That's okay! Ahh
"Huh! It's okay for my sister to have Slokaj by her side. The little sister whispered.
"Huh? Slokay: What did you just say? Miss Elizabeth also took an orange and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Nothing! Sister-sama. A big smile.
"Ahem...... Ahem...... "My father coughed dryly.
"Ugh!"
Prince Bekas's face was black, and so was I.
His Royal Highness Becas and I, who were stunned, came back to our senses, withdrew our eyes from Miss Elizabeth, looked at each other, and smiled awkwardly.
"Then start put! Can't lose today! "I declare!
