Chapter 105: The Library

The refreshing cool breeze blew on the human body, and standing in the huge and bright room, William's face showed a certain expression of nostalgia.

After lunch, William invited Erica, a beautiful girl from Milan, to visit the library with him.

The Biblioteca Centrale is the largest library in Milan, home to its Central Municipal Library, dating back to the first half of the 17th century.

It was built by the will of Cardinal Cesare Monti and the intervention of Francesco Maria Riccini.

Milan represents the metropolis of northern Italy, the center of culture, economy, fashion, sports and other fields, widely known to the world, the historical Duchy of Milan is a rich and powerful duchie, listen to Erica said that her Bluntry family is the nobility of the former Duchy of Milan.

Milan is the capital of the Italian region of Lombardy, whether it is Pisa, Florence or Milan, its origin comes from the original canonization of Lombardy.

In the reading room of the library, a familiar girl was standing. Beautiful long straight silver hair draped behind her back, and a blue sweater with black lace outlined her slender figure.

The doll-like face shines with pure light like a moon spirit descending into the world.

It's obviously an innocent age.,The girl always has a serious expression.。 That expression not only does not ruin her beauty, but will make people's hearts glow with a little pity.

It was a beauty of the same rank as Erica but with a different style. If Erica stands with her, then the sun and the moon are beautiful.

"Guian, Lily. Are we really bound together by the bonds of fate? ”

"Please don't use this kind of intimate affection on me, besides, our meeting here is not an accident, but a long time ago."

Liliana put down the book in her hand, looked at William, who was beside Erica, and showed a panicked expression, and said, "I'm sorry I didn't pay you the first time, please forgive me, O king!" ”

Liliana was saying sorry, but she was muttering in her heart, when did William and Erica have such a good relationship.

William shook his head and smiled at Liliana, looking at the book she had placed on the table and asking, "What are you looking at?" ”

"It's Shakespeare's The Tempest!" Liliana replied with a blushing face.

"Oh, I've heard Shakespeare's name, it seems to be a character in a textbook, can you show me?"

William reached for the book on the desk, Liliana's face flushed, she just pursed her lips, her body stiffened and she didn't make any movements, and Erica had a fox-like smile on her face, as if she had seen through something.

Erica has known Liliana for ten years, she knows herself quite well this old friend, she has an awe-inspiring personality, has a flawless posture of intellectuality, although she lacks the ambition to become a noblewoman, but she will definitely be a good knight, a good wife, a good mother, and now she will simply blush because of the other party's every move, because the other party is shy and stiff because of indirect contact with her own books, it seems that she is really fascinated by the other party, so it seems that Liliana will not become the court flower like the mistress of the salon.

William flipped through the books with a focused expression, although he was a prince, he rarely had the opportunity to read, which was also related to William's family background.

Although the family of the duke was noble, the ancestors, as aggressive Vikings, were more interested in force than culture and knowledge in terms of national characteristics, and most of the cultivation of princes also adhered to this tradition.

Although William's own education curriculum is full, all kinds of astronomy, history, geography and other courses, but equestrian, swordsmanship, archery and other courses have long occupied most of his time, according to his uncle said, learning culture as long as you can read and write simply, even if you can't read and write, it doesn't matter if you are illiterate, as long as the ministers and secretaries around you can read and write.

As a king, as a monarch, a wealth of knowledge and intellect is something that a scholar should have, not a necessity for a monarch.

The Norman royal palace library is a vast library of literature, art, philosophy, law, and history, and it is a vast library that preserves many masterpieces from the ancient Greek and Roman eras, but this does not mean that the dukes were studious, but simply possessive.

The tireless collection of rare books is just as valuable as the collection of precious weapons, armor, and treasures.

When William was young, he didn't have time to read the library's collection, but when he was a little older, his father died, his uncle denied him access to the library, and even Dr. Andersen was ostracized because of this, and he came to Avalon to be educated by Vivien, the fairy of the lake, but he was still a cultural half-ass.

Although he may not have been respectful to his adoptive mother, William noticed that Vivien, the fairy of the lake, seemed to be illiterate.

Her education for William was more of an education of words and deeds, and even if she tried to let her sister teach culture instead of her, it also exposed that she may not be good at reading and writing.

William flipped through the books with relish, "The Tempest" is the historical legend of the British writer Shakespeare, because of the excellent writing, beautiful and gorgeous words, and before the plot has been touched, I feel that the writing is brilliant and pleasing to the eye, so I was immersed in the world of the book for a while, and directly ignored the two girls.

Erica shook her head helplessly, she knew that William was a visitor to another world, so he lacked the corresponding common sense about this world, and also lacked culture and knowledge, in the past few days, he not only entrusted himself to help him collect school textbooks, but also watched the videos of the education channel, once he was addicted to it, he would not stop unless he finished reading it.

Erica is not unhappy with this, only happy, which shows that William is actively embracing the culture of his country.

You must know that transnational marriage is very hard, because you are in different countries, receive different education, and have different values, if both parties can not respect and accommodate each other's culture and values, and be tolerant, then the marriage will be very hard, and even break down, so William is willing to use Italian textbooks, books, and television to understand the world, so it is very beneficial for the two to get along in the future.

As the minutes ticked by, Erica sat next to William and picked up a book to pass the time of boredom, while Liliana couldn't sit still, and said dissatisfiedly, "How long do you have to wait?"

Some people died, but not completely......
