Chapter 009: (Hunting Grounds)

It was a summer afternoon, and in an open meadow near a small lake in the Ubo Forest, everything was ready for the children of the Swadian nobility to fully enjoy the hunt.

The summer seemed to be a little hotter than before, and some of the servants had set up chairs under the trees for the ladies to escape from the heat, and the maids were busy with their various requests, such as a young lady in need of a drink, or she needed some ice cubes, or something.

The boys danced and played with swords in the service of their attendants, and the boys were always keen on these things, no matter what kind of weapon they could not help but love, such as the Emer Chell scimitar, the Gruenwo axe, the Serezk sword, and the hand axe of Yamu, which were particularly emblematic and sophisticated, and they would always find ways to get the guys they wanted to keep in their arsenal, although many of them were not available.

The guards who followed them guarded them in a circle twenty paces on the outskirts of the hunting ground, and there were also knights who accompanied them, and they chatted together in twos and threes, and the content was simply boring, nothing more than showing off their horses, weapons and equipment, or which lady was favored by so-and-so. They were all accompanied by the children of these nobles, which might seem to them an innocuous and easy errand, and the parents of these children always wished that someone else could protect their dear children.

In the midst of the group, a young man with a gloomy face was standing on a low slope with his arms folded and looking south, with a look of anxiety and gloom that did not match his age.

"Will he come?" the boy asked without looking back.

An attendant behind him hurriedly stepped forward and leaned down with the servant's characteristic flattering smile, "Yes, Your Excellency Adeline, you personally repair the book and invite him, he doesn't dare not come." ”

Adeline glanced back in disgust, and such an answer was obviously not satisfactory to him, and he waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go get some cold wine." ”

The squire went at once, and Adeline grunted hatefully with the sword at her waist, her eyes looking to the other side of the hunting grounds.

It was the ladies' resting place, and under the shade of the trees lay a wide variety of food and wine, and some precious utensils, and a young girl was leaning lazily on a chaise longue with one hand holding a scroll of poetry high, and her other white hand was perhaps accustomed to playing with her beautiful blonde hair, her slender fingers weaving back and forth in the soft ends of her hair, and her delicate lips twitching and reciting brisk verses.

"Irena!" Adeline couldn't help but call out to her.

The girl turned her head slightly, her eyes shifting from the parchment scroll to the source of the sound, and smiled slightly.

The boy waved his hand happily at her, then turned to be satisfied. He took the wine glass brought by the servant and drank it, and the cold mellow wine and the girl's gentle smile gradually soothed the anxiety in his heart.

"Look, Iris, I'll make you crawl home today!" said the boy viciously, tossing the glass at his servant.

At this time, there was a commotion among the guards guarding the perimeter, and a guard wearing the Michod family crest hurried in. "Young Master! Iris's here. ”

"Very well!" Adeline said excitedly, turning sharply, "to inform everyone that the hunt is about to begin." ”

The guard cast a hesitant look at Adeline, this look was contradictory and helpless, obviously he knew the young master's temper, but he still said, "Young master, Iris's escort has called you to meet you. ”

"What?!" Adeline's mood just calmed down as if she had poured a spoonful of boiling oil on charcoal from a spark, "this coward is very daring!"

A man in a smock bowed down to his knight friends to show that he was not accompanied, and walked over to the side and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Adeline recounted such a simple event with an almost roaring as she snapped the whip in her hand, and the man gestured to the frightened guard that he could leave.

"With all due respect, Master Adeline, you should not lose your temper so much for such a simple matter, it is completely inconsistent with who you are," the man reminded in a gentle voice, "Besides, you see, Tibel and Miss Irena are watching you. ”

Adeline realized that many people were looking at him curiously, especially Irena's gaze, which made him feel cramped and uneasy. "For God's sake, Radvi, let's go over there and meet him!" Adeline quickly turned and walked to the periphery of the hunting grounds.

Radvi smiled and followed him and went with him.

Iris sat in front of the Nameless Knight, and the guards gathered on the periphery were visibly stunned by the Nameless Knight's incomparable outfit like a ball of headless flies.

Adeline's eyes widened when she saw this team, the eight knights were clearly spaced apart, the armor was bright and neat, they were all wearing helmets and couldn't see each other, plus their tall and burly bodies were riding on the back of tall war horses, which made people feel solemn and solemn, and each of them had an eagle-shaped insignia on their chests, which indicated that they were indeed members of the Knights of Sanction under the territory of Harongoth.

In particular, the knight in the front of the middle, who was dressed in a gorgeous cloak, was riding on a majestic and beautiful war horse and stared at him condescendingly, the snow-white tassels on the helmet fluttered in the wind, and the vision from the gap between the eyes in the helmet made him feel breathless, and the humiliating anger of Adeline just now disappeared without a trace at this moment, and I don't know where it went, I just felt that it was all really bad.

An attendant holding a banner held high stepped forward across the line and chanted aloud: "His Excellency Iris Harengus, son of Duke Harengus, Governor of the Southern Province, is here!"

Hearing this, the knights behind him turned over and dismounted neatly, and the noble knight respectfully held the rope with one hand, and the other hand slightly supported the steps with his palm, serving the little master and dismounting.

Iris was dismounted in a daze, the Nameless Knight leaned sideways and made a graceful gesture of please, and Adeline stood motionless as if she had been spelled.

By this time, the commotion had spread from the periphery of the hunting ground to the ladies' resting area, and there was a lot of discussion and boiling inside, and Tibel and Irena had seen Iris, and as soon as they heard the news, they rushed from the resting place, and studied the visitors from head to toe with the same eyes as they looked at their lovers, and their observations were as meticulous and enthusiastic as the men's attention to the approaching knights.

"Hey, Iris!" Miss Tiber greeted him cheerfully as she pulled the slow Irena. "You see, the fine velvet robe of Veruga looks so much better on him than your doll, and he carries a short sword encrusted with sapphires, bigger than the one on my mother's necklace, and he's pretty, isn't he? Irena!" she cried out to her beautiful cousin, and patted her on the shoulder. "Come back to your senses, little beauty. Tiebel laughed.

Almost immediately, Irena's fair cheeks climbed into an imperceptible red. "Yes... Oh! no. I was just wondering if he had brought me new verses or tunes. ”

"Hah!" Thiebel smiled slyly, "yes? Yes, yes, he is the best at this, isn't he? Her head was simply and neatly tied into a long ponytail that reached to her waist, and her hair was soft and thick, with a hint of maroon and red. Her beauty belonged to that energetic and fresh feeling, and there was a kind of heroism not often seen in Svadia women, and she was pouting and smiling mischievously, revealing a small half of her smooth teeth.

Our little master was still stunned and stupid, and walked forward, but he had not yet come to his senses.

"Iris, this way!" said Tibert, raising his horsewhip and striking the shoulder of the man who was about to walk past them, "What's wrong with you, dear cousin, you look like you've lost your soul, and your uncle is scolding you again?"

Only then did he come to his senses, rubbed his stiff face with his little hands, and took his cousin's hand and kissed it with a little reluctance. "Cousin Tibel, Cousin Irena, you are as beautiful as ever. ”

Tiebel was fourteen years old, but she already had the tall figure of a sixteen or seventeen girl, and although she was only a year older than Iris, she was nearly a foot taller than him, which had a lot to do with her love of hunting on horseback.

She was dressed today in an Illinus-style riding garment, with a pair of white corset trousers with a slight pattern underneath, and a pair of small riding boots on her feet, a lean white blouse with a waist and tight cuffs trimmed with gold thread, a fiery red waistcoat over the blouse, perhaps because of the heat, the two cuffs of the neckline were untied, revealing a white neck and slender collarbone, a beautiful belt was attached to the junction of the waistcoat and trousers, and a delicate Cinnari scimitar was hung from the golden tasseled belt, whose graceful curves and ornate sheath were visible to the woman。

"Whoa, yes, my dear cousin. Tiebel leaned over and patted Iris on the shoulder, and smiled, "Looks like you're serious about today's activities! That's good, it's not what a boy should do to spend all day in music and poems;

Iris returned the favor with a stiff smile to his cousin. "Know, cousin Tibel. ”

"How can you be so weak to speak?" Tiebel asked, frowning at the top of her face, "Cheer me up!" Iris, today is the day when our generation gets together to show off our family's momentum, do you know it? ”

Irena withdrew her hand tugging at the corner of Tibel's clothes, leaned down slightly, and raised her head with a little worry and asked, "Are you not feeling well, Iris, come and rest on my chaise longue, do you need me to have a servant serve you a drink?"

Irena was dressed in a lake-blue dress, this dress had two very beautiful streamers around the waist, although she was only two months younger than Iris, but she was bigger than her thin brother, almost four and a half feet tall, her complexion was fair, she had a pair of watery and gentle pale green eyes, she always bent her body slightly gently, like a slender willow, and the expression on her face was like a goddess who did not know anything about the world, but she was already dignified and beautiful at a young age, and she stood with Iris like two little angels.

"Yes, miss!" said her maid, bowing slightly, "but you only have a cup, is that okay?"

At this moment, Irena couldn't hide the joy in her heart. When she heard the maid's voice, she blushed, but didn't say anything, just waved her hand and told the maid to go quickly.

Tiebel approached Doires. "Go, my dear cousin," she said, "my uncle will not know that you drink, and I believe that drinking a small amount of such a thing may make you more manly." ”

Iris replied with her usual submissive gaze, which at once caused Miss Tibert to be so indulged in a certain amount of affection, that she took him in one hand and walked happily to the lounge.
