The king was already able to use the longbow and crossbow with great skill, and the king's brother Philip, though rusty, could see that he was glad to be able to shoot one arrow target after another under the guidance of his brother— In this era, the person who set up the target will not reward the winner with a doll, this kind of game can be said to be a disguised gamble, a small Eju can be exchanged for ten long arrows and a wide arrow, and ten shots of the bullseye can be exchanged for a gold louis, but these targets are smaller than when the knights were trained, even a well-trained longbowman may not be able to shoot, and the last three parchment targets are not fixed to the wall, but tied to a thin rope, even a slight gust of wind, will make it move, and it is difficult to shoot the target。

First the king and his brother were happily playing there, and soon after, Princess Henrietta also came, but not so much because she was assigned by Queen Mary, but because she had finally used it as an excuse to get out of the lengthy Latin monologue, and she also took out a little Eju in exchange for arrows, but compared to Louis, who had been taught in orthodoxy, the wild Marie Mancini, Her Royal Highness's record was really pessimistic— Specifically, the owner of the target complained incessantly, because the arrows didn't know where the princess had shot, and his losses were a bit heavy.

Princess Henrietta's expression was a little bleak at this moment, when her maid Louise approached her and said something, and the princess took out a little Eju, exchanged ten arrows, and gave them to Louise.

Louise is indeed not the kind of girl who is impressive, her facial features are biased towards male fortitude, and her facial contours are too harsh, which does not conform to the aesthetics of today's people, and even her hands and feet are not small and delicate enough, but it is such fingers and palms that can hold the longbow and crossbow steadily, and will not let the arrow lose its strength or accuracy when flying.

She didn't stop, she shot ten times in a row, and each time she hit the bull's-eye, even the three targets hanging from the strings, and now it was the turn of the target owner to be depressed, he had complained incessantly just to get a little more reward from these nobles, but in this way he would lose money, and he threw a pleading look at the king, and Louis knew what he was planning - he justly judged that the owner of the target must give Princess Henrietta a gold louis according to the verbal contract, and he had to obey.

But when the king's first attendant, Bontang, said something to him, he rejoiced again.

"What did you say to him?" asked Princess Henrietta, knowing that it was a bit rude, but she did wonder if His Majesty would be willing to give her some extra protection.

"I told him that he could put up a banner and let people know that the king, the princess and the princess had all played his games here. Louis said mildly, "There will be a lot of people who will be willing to try." ”

"You are so merciful. Henrietta said.

"It's just a matter of bare hands," said Louis, "for these people, we don't care about a little problem, which could be a catastrophe in his life." ”

Henrietta's face turned slightly pale, Louis suddenly felt a little unbearable, such as a noble girl like Princess Henrietta, she would not receive such an education at all, she may sympathize with those hungry people who have no food and clothing, but this emotion is high, she simply cannot understand what it means to put herself in her shoes, or change her position, she has been a princess since she was born, and she may become a queen in the future, at least a prince or a duchess, even if she has almost died because of the embarrassing economic situation, she will only remember the humiliation she has suffered, instead of lowering her status and keeping the same eye level with those lowly people。

"It was my fault," said Louis at once, "dear Henrietta, I can swear that I have no intention of reproaching anyone, you, or your maid, I just don't want to see anyone disappointed, though it is indeed a greedy fellow, but all we have to do is forgiveness." ”

"Yes," said Princess Henrietta, somewhat reluctantly, "this is exactly what the saint wants us to do. ”
