(267) William's gift
"You don't have to be so pessimistic, that's what most girls think, not all.
My eldest sister, Rosemary, for example, likes serious and rigid men like Victor's brother. ”
My sister Edgar was even more different, she was gorgeous on the outside, but she was sloppy, not gentle at all, and a cruel and rough boy lived inside. ”
"No, I'm going to defend her." William Einfoot's expression became serious:
"In the circle of the great nobles of the imperial capital, many people are speaking ill of Sister Edgar, she is rude and rude, and she doesn't look like a princess, but I disagree with this, it can't be a shortcoming at all, it's just a maverick."
Edgar is indeed not a lady in the traditional sense, she is independent and self-reliant, she is not willing to be a male vassal, she does not want to be a vase.
She is very persevering, and once she decides, no hardship or danger can stop her.
She wanted to be a professional soldier and an officer, so she worked hard to achieve this goal. This is also the reason why her academic performance has improved by leaps and bounds in the past year.
People call her rude and savage, but she has a genuine love for her family and friends, and she values honor, duty, and promise, in the style of Valsta.
Growing up, people kept pointing fingers at her, and it was unfair, because I knew what kind of person Edgar was, and I knew she had treasures in her heart. ”
Prince Maxim Midnet nodded: "It can be seen, Master William, you are different from most suitors, those people just covet Edgar's beauty, or want to use her status as the princess of the empire to gain power and soar in the officialdom."
And you, Young Master William, you know her heart better than anyone else, you know, these words of yours make my brother feel ashamed.
I was born a minute before Edgar, her twin brother, but I don't know her as well as you as an outsider.
Even the Empress could not fully understand Edgar's thoughts, and mothers in this world always think that their children have nothing to hide from them, but often it backfires.
Edgar has been with us, there is something about you that fascinates her, she has an aura that is different from ordinary people,
I never understood what that meant, but I'll be sure to help you.
Master William, you are a rare good person, you are both honest and focused, unlike a playboy like me, if I follow you, my sister will definitely be happy. ”
William Einfoot was so moved that he almost cried: "Thank you, Maxim, please tell me what to do, how to win Ling Mei's heart even more." ”
"If you want to give her a gift and please her, then you must know her interests and hobbies, I ask you, what is Edgar's favorite activity on weekdays?"
"Combat, hand-to-hand fighting, polo, shooting... It's just too much, so I'm a little confused about what to give her. ”
Prince Maxim shook his head: "She doesn't lack those blades and guns, and there are some in the academy's training ground, and with her status as an imperial princess, it is not difficult to get anything." ”
"So what should I do?"
"Let me give you a hint, Master William, this sister of mine has inherited her mother's physique completely, and has both strength and agility.
In order to allow her to vent her apparent excess energy, my mother, the Empress, gave her a light axe when Edgar was very young.
Edgar loved it, and she sharpened the blade of her axe.
The other aristocratic girls were playing with dolls, and young Edgar ran out into the woods alone and played with an axe.
Finally, she has a channel to vent, and the furniture in the palace that she always smashes no longer has to suffer.
Since then, she has developed the habit of chopping trees and wood, and later she has grown taller and stronger, and her physical strength has become more amazing.
On one occasion, an emissary from a northern country presented numerous state gifts, including a finely crafted battle axe.
It was a weapon that the warriors of the northern cold used to use, and it was very special and impressive.
The fine steel is processed by carburizing process, the surface hardness is very high, and due to the special quenching process, the surface of the axe blade forms a metal ripple like water waves, which is quite beautiful.
According to the emissary of the northern kingdom,
This terrible axe is not designed for production and construction, it is purely for war, it is much heavier than ordinary axes, and requires a lot of strength from the user.
The axe also has sharp spikes at the end of the handle, which can be used to stab enemies, and the weight of the entire axe is precisely calculated and the balance is excellent, which is a rare masterpiece.
Mother gave the axe to Edgar. She loved the gift so much that she hung it on the head of her bed, and Edgar not only used the terrible axe to chop wood and chop wood, but also practiced it as a cold weapon, summing up a set of movements that she was accustomed to.
Later, during a royal hunt, the axe was slashed deep into the skull of the boar because of her great strength, and the blade of the axe was deformed, and the handle of the axe broke, and it was completely broken.
At that time, Her Majesty the Mother Queen was busy with government affairs and had no time to care about us, the princes and princesses.
Edgar had been looking forward to a new axe, and in fact she could have gone to find a relationship to get one herself, but she never acted on it.
I guess she was angry, she wanted to wait for Her Majesty the Queen to remember and give it to her, not to look at Edgar's casual and sloppy appearance, in fact she cared about her family very much, and longed to be loved by her mother.
If, at this time, Master William, you could give her what she had been longing for, my sister would be very high-minded. ”
"Great!" William Einfurt was so excited that his eyebrows fluttered: "Thank you for telling me this information, I just saw a lot of northern merchant stalls in the market, among them are weapon craftsmen, maybe there are things we want, I can't wait to see them!" ”
"Good fellows! Master William, your expression is full of energy right now! Maxim rolled up his sleeves: "Let's go!" I'll push you to go! ”
At 13 o'clock in the afternoon, in front of the hotel.
Baron Victor looked down at his pocket watch: "What's going on?" Where did William and Maxim go? Did any of you see them? ”
One driver said: "I saw them walking in the direction of the market. ”
Another driver pointed into the distance: "Look, they're both back." ”
A moment later, Maxim came to the door of the inn in a wheelchair, with a huge long canvas bag on Master William's lap, and his face was full of excitement and pleasure.
The Rosemary Empress asked, "Brother Maxim, Master William, what are you two doing?" We are all waiting for you. ”
"I've gone to the market to buy something."
"What did you buy, can you show me?" Rosemary tried to open the canvas bag.
Maxim stretched out a hand to stop her: "Hehe, old lady, this is a gift for a certain Rao, I can't show it to you." ”
"Oops! It's kind of mysterious! Maxim, are you going to mess with flowers again, which girl are you flirting with this time? ”
Maxim grimaced: "I won't tell you!" This is my secret with William! Are you? William smiled and nodded.
"It's suspicious, you two...... Couldn't it be a prank? Rosemary looked at them suspiciously, then turned to Victor and said, "I'll go upstairs and wake my sister up, and then let's go." ”
