Chapter 187: King Uther's Melancholy
Ethel Pendragon is the biological daughter of King Uther, the current king of the Camelot Empire of the Knights, that is, she is the princess of the Camelot Empire. www.biquge.info Generally speaking, all princesses should have some aristocratic hobbies, even the legendary star known as the Blood Thorn, Rachel, the eldest princess of the Kingdom of Thalia, is also very interested in equestrianism. The Elven Empire, known as the goddess of the forest, is alive, and Merody, the third princess of Corrain, also has an interest in painting and music. Even if they are not good at or interested in aristocratic hobbies, those princesses will wear fluttering skirts and run around to socialize with other princes and nobles, drink tea and chat, eat cakes and so on.
Only Ethel can be said to be one of the many princesses, and when she has spare time, she either goes to the army to train the troops, or practices swordsmanship in the back garden of her home, or trains her combat skills with several knights under her command. At first, King Uther was pleased that his daughter was also a knight, but as time passed, King Uther discovered that not only did Ethel never socialize with other nobles, but even when he talked to several male knights under his command, most of them were about swordsmanship and magic.
Some time ago, when he had met with the kings of their two kingdoms, Thalia XVI was very irritated when he mentioned that his youngest daughter pestered him every day to ask for this and that, and let him accompany her to practice painting. This made King Uther feel very irritated and unhappy, because Ethel never discussed with him about painting, art, dance, etc., but more about swordsmanship.
"It's decided, we're going to raise Ether to be a real girl!" After dinner, King Uther, who was looking at the stars in the back garden of the palace, suddenly sat up and said loudly to his beloved concubine Egrin.
Looking at King Uther, who suddenly began to have convulsions again, Egerin, who had beautiful green long hair, covered her forehead and said with a headache: "Uther, why do you suddenly say such a thing? Isn't Ether having a good time every day now? ”
King Uther shook his head with a purr, and he said anxiously to Egrin: "Irene you are her mother, do you feel very happy to see our daughter live like a tomboy every day?" I hope our daughter can live more like a girl, to pursue her favorite interests, to find her own love...... And I don't want to see that old bastard Reynolds show off her daughter's story in front of me every day!"
Sighing, Egralyn stood up slightly, sat down beside King Uther, and then gently tapped his forehead with her index finger and said, "Uther, you accidentally told the truth, what's the matter, doesn't it make you unhappy to listen to Reynold's story about him and his daughter showing off again? At such a young age, she already has the strength of a legendary star, and her interest is not to practice swordsmanship and learn magic, and she has said that she wants to follow her daughter's interests, so why do you want to change her now?"
King Uther reached out and took Eglyn into his arms, and after kissing her lightly on the cheek, King Uther shook his head and said, "You don't know, when Ether was young, I was always worried that there were those princely and noble little boys running over to tease our daughter without knowing whether they were alive or dead, so I took Ether a little stricter, so that she had no intersection with boys since she was a child, but had been with the sword for many years. No, now that she's grown up, I'm worried, what if she doesn't have a boyfriend for a hundred or two years and doesn't marry anyone?
Eglyn snuggled into King Uther's arms, gently stroked his chest, and replied, "Don't worry! By the way, lately Ether has suddenly started looking for the god or something, and he keeps mentioning the teacher named Sylvia to us, remember?"
"Oh, it's the one with the same name and surname as the legendary magician, but now there are really a lot, this kind of deceptive and famous, thinking that he can deceive by taking the same name as the legendary magician, but he shouldn't have expected that our daughter is actually a princess. But didn't Aether say that this teacher will come over during the holidays, and when he comes, I will be fine...... Talk to him. ”
Egrinn propped herself up, lightly tapped King Uther's forehead and said, "Look at you, just now you said that you want to follow Ethher's wishes, but now you are threatening to teach other people's teachers, and you don't let the two of them get along well, how can you do this?"
After being taught a lesson by his wife, King Uther was not angry, but asked with a strange smile, "Irene, since we can't change Ether, then we should change our thinking." ”
Egrin was stunned for a moment, and then asked a little unturnedly, "What kind of ideas!"
King Uther pressed his lips close to Elgerin's ear, and whispered, "It's not easy, it's going to have another child!"
Amid Egrin's coquettish laughter, King Uther picked her up and walked to his bedchamber.
Listening to the sound of fighting in the distance, Ethel smiled and blocked the sudden attack of the long sword in front of her, and then two whirlwinds spread on her sword, Ethel slashed the long sword in his hand horizontally, and the huge wind blade slashed out the knight who was training with him in front of him.
"Alright, okay, pause. The knight who was knocked away quickly made a sound asking for a pause, and Ethel immediately withdrew his hand, and then inserted his long sword back into the scabbard.
Taking off his knight's hand armor, Ethel wiped the sweat from his forehead and sideburns, and the knight in the full-coverage armor she had been training with just now also took off his helmet, revealing a handsome face. He had long, flame-red hair, slightly pointed ears that suggested that he might be of elven blood, and a well-defined face with slightly hanging eyes, and, crucially, a slight bulge in his throat.
The knight held the helmet he had taken off in his arms, and the long sword in his hand was stuck in the ground, and said to Ethel, "Your Highness, it is said that your teacher is coming, right?"
Ethel nodded, her face was still a little serious just now, but at this time she showed a soft smile, she let go of her eyes and looked into the distance, and then said a little casually: "Yes, the teacher is coming, I've really been looking forward to it for a long time!"
Seeing that Ethel suddenly showed a soft smile that he had never shown before, the knight gritted his teeth and said in a hoarse voice: "It seems that Your Highness, you really respect your teacher, and I also want to meet him when the time comes?" ”
Ethel nodded, looked at the knight in front of him and said with a smile: "Of course, the teacher is a very good person, he is quite knowledgeable." Don't worry, if you ask him about magic, he will give it to you seriously. ”
Looking at the bright moon hanging high, Ethel, who realized that it was not too early, continued: "Okay, let's stop here for today. I'll go back first, and you should go back and rest early, Lancelot. (To be continued.) )
