Section IV
"No, Mom!" Moon Shadow shook her head resolutely, "Don't tell your father, I hope I will tell this in person in the future!" β
Women who grew up in aristocratic families were born with heavy responsibilities, and if nothing else, they would grow up to be the object of political marriages, bearing the burden of revitalizing the family in a woman's way. Moonshadow didn't want to tell the Count about this, because she didn't want to think of herself as a weighty 'weight' in his mind.
"My fate will be decided by myself!" Moon Shadow swore in her heart.
"Aliceβ" The Countess seemed to have something to say, but seeing Moon Shadow's expression, she had no choice but to give up.
"Mom, will you let Cylise be my personal maid?" Moon Shadow took the countess's arm and said coquettishly.
"Cisis is a maid who does rough work, can she do it?" The Countess hesitated.
The rank of servants in the Earl's Court was also very strict, and there were duties inside and outside the house, and in modern terms, they were all trained.
"You can just say yes, you can learn slowly!" Moon Shadow resents this system, but she doesn't want to be too obvious.
"Okay, I'll ask the manager to transfer her later!" The Countess agreed, it was indeed a trivial matter, and at most she would find time to teach the girl a few more lessons in etiquette.
The countess was afraid that her daughter would wake up and be tired, so she said a few words and left, and Moon Shadow was about to get out of bed to see her off, but she was also pressed on the bed, which made Moon Shadow a little sad - this body is also weak!
Moon Shadow had never believed in any talent - it was due to her grandfather's influence, and she had already planned her training when she was in bed for the past two days. The rules in the Earl's Court are a bit like the Grand View Garden in "A Dream of Red Mansions", in addition to daily living expenses, everyone has monthly money, she is five silver coins per month, and the monthly money has not been less in the past few years when she has been in a coma, all of which are stored in the countess, adding up to thirty-five gold coins (the currency exchange on the continent of Amadeus is 1 amethyst coin = 10 gold coins = 100 silver coins = 1000 copper coins), which is enough for three years of expenses for ordinary families.
In the afternoon, Cilise came to report on time, and Moon Shadow handed her a few pieces of paper: "Cilis, you go and find someone to make a few things according to this pattern, the sooner the better!" β
"Yes, Miss!" Although Cilisi looked at the pattern and was a little curious, she didn't ask much, and immediately went out to do something as soon as she agreed, Moon Shadow nodded secretly, it really deserves to be a big family, and the quality of the trained servants is high.
After about two hours, Sylise returned: "Miss, those few things have been handed over to the craftsmen in the town, and they can be delivered tomorrow!" β
"Well, good, how much did it cost?" Moon Shadow asked casually.
"A silver coin." Sylith stole a glance at Moon Shadow's face and whispered, "Miss, if it's expensive, I'll talk to the craftsman again!" β
"Uh, it's not expensive, it's not expensive!" Moon Shadow really didn't expect that a silver coin could buy so many things, and the pictures she drew were some training equipment, although they were rough, but the money was ...... Hehe, it's really good.
In the following time, Moon Shadow began to carry out physical training in a planned manner, endurance training, and ran long distances every morning and evening, from 400 meters to 4000 meters, with an average speed of no more than 2 minutes per lap; 2~3 times a week to carry 40 kg weight-bearing cross-country.
Strength training, strength training of upper and lower limbs and waist and abdomen, do 5~8 sets of each item every day...... Others include balance training, flexibility training, etc.
Every time the Countess saw Moon Shadow sweating and sweating, she was so distressed that she burst into tears, but Moon Shadow didn't care.
"Mom, don't worry, when I finish exercising, I will definitely make that woman look good!" Moon Shadow holds a bowl of lotus seed soup handed over by the Countess. Eat it sweetly.
Perhaps it was the Countess's motherly love that moved her, and Moon Shadow was full of resentment towards the woman who had robbed her of the Count's father's favor, and at the same time very ashamed of the 'father' in her eyes, which was close to taking a concubine as an infidelity to love, a betrayal of his wife, and as for the lover...... A woman who covets vanity can only make her feel pathetic.
"Silly boy, in the past few years, my mother has not been by your father's side, thanks to your Aunt Cecili taking care of me, I should thank her!" The Countess is a typical good wife and mother, she has long seen her daughter's dissatisfaction with her husband, although she is also full of grievances, but she still wants to save her husband's impression in her daughter's heart.
"Humph! Take care? I think it's right to take advantage of the situation! "Moon Shadow is quite unimpressed with the countess's grievances, horses are good to be ridden, people are good to be bullied, and force is the basis of truth.
It's been more than four months since she woke up, and when Moon Shadow started her recovery training, she thought it would take at least a year to return to her previous state, but when she struck a five-inch thick plank in two, not only did she startle Celise on the side, but she also surprised herself - when did she become so perverted? The best state in the past was just kicking and smashing an inch thick plank, how long has it been training? Is the wood of this world too crunchy?
Moon Shadow picked up a wooden board and tried it, no problem, whether it was in terms of weight or material, the wooden boards used for these exercises were standard, it seemed that it was the result of his own exercise, the problem was ...... It should be from those immortals.
Moon Shadow guessed correctly, the Wind Heart given by the Wind Heavenly Monarch turned her physique into an elemental body, and this physique would attract the affinity of the wind elemental even without meditation, and she was a natural magician. And although the Tushi Purple Flame given by Lei Tianjun has not yet awakened, the Thunder Spirit that he gave as an additional gift has quietly transformed her body when Moon Shadow began to exercise, and in terms of physical toughness and explosiveness, it is already comparable to the first- and second-level martial artists in this world.
"Alice, girls should learn more about etiquette, music, dance, or magic, this kind of practice will make their skin thicker, how to marry in the future!" The Countess persuaded.
"Hehe, your daughter is naturally beautiful, and her skin is good!" Moon Shadow stretched out two white and tender palms in front of the Countess - this body transformed by fairy power is different, stunned that there is not even a little cocoon left, after knowing that her physique is extraordinary, Moon Shadow has consciously increased the amount of training, it is almost masochistic, Cialys is scared, and quietly runs to inform the Countess.
"Alas! That's not good, what do girls need so much strength for? What noble son would dare to marry you? The Countess was also a little frightened when she looked at the broken wooden planks all over the ground, she had seen the practice of those martial artists when she was studying at the Demon Martial Arts Academy before, I am afraid that ordinary martial artists do not have the strength of the youngest daughter, since her daughter recovered from a serious illness, she is becoming more and more incomprehensible.
"Mom, if you're talking about those sissy guys, then I really won't marry them, if you want to marry me, at least you have to beat me first!" Moon Shadow pouted.
After she woke up, a number of nobles living in nearby estates came to the house to congratulate her politely. Not to mention, Alice's body looks really good, especially after a period of exercise, her complexion has also become toned, and she is also a little beauty embryo, and many noble ladies began to listen to the countess's tone.
In aristocratic circles, whether it is politics or interests, it is very common for teenage children to get engaged, but because the Earl is not at home, and Moon Shadow is resolutely opposed, the Countess is vague every time.
"Well, Mom, why don't you teach me a few wind magic?" Moon Shadow hugged the Countess's arm and looked up with a grin.
"You-" The Countess smiled helplessly as she tapped her finger at Moonshadow's head.
