Chapter 32 Maria
Frederick had seen many beauties, big and small, in his previous life, and he saw even more after coming here. There were blond maids in the castle, and some who came from the south. Katie, who has a traditional appearance from the Pulan Empire, a dark-skinned pagan businessman who comes to do business, and Psyche with an Aegean style, etc., thought that she would never be moved by beauty again in this life. .
However, when he saw Philip's six-year-old daughter Maria running out of the castle, running "thump thump thump" across the suspension bridge towards him...Philip next to him, he felt that his heart rate had exceeded Skyrim.
Maria's skin is as white as winter snow, her facial features are as delicate as a doll's, her rosy face is like a ripe apple, her laughter is like the sound of nature, her hair and eyes are as black as charcoal, and Kai The same as the pedicle, it is the style of the First Pulan Empire.
Philip picked up his daughter happily and did not notice a pig appearing next to him.
A look startled Frederick, and he immediately came to his senses.
A noble lady walked out of the castle gate. She had black hair and eyes like Maria, and she was looking at Frederick with a half-smile.
Philip's wife Sofia walked to the carriage and said to her daughter: "Hurry up and greet the guests."
The father and daughter were pouring out their thoughts before they realized there was a guy next to them.
After some introduction, Maria gently lifted the hem of her skirt with both hands, bowed and said, "Baron Wesson, welcome to Lore."
After she finished speaking, her big, watery eyes looked curiously at the peer in strange clothes in front of her.
Frederick returned to normal and said with a smile: "Miss Ertal, nice to meet you."
Then he greeted Sofia again and was surprised to find that this The lady's face is pale and her eye sockets are a little sunken. She must be sick.
After some greetings, Sofia took Frederick's hand and said: "You're welcome here, it's just like home."
Frederick immediately replied: "Excuse me. Madam is really sorry.”
"It doesn't matter." Sophia pulled him towards the castle. "The hiking trails here are very famous. They are fun in spring, summer, autumn and winter. I will come here often when I have time."
"It's very hot this summer, but It’s very cool in the mountains. If you are interested, you can go and have some fun recently.”
Philip pulled his daughter behind and heard something wrong from his wife’s words after only a few steps.
Yesterday someone rushed back to report that today Sofia has prepared a residence for Frederick and his servants in the castle.
Considering the tiring journey, the lunch was not luxurious, but the portion was substantial.
Arriving at the restaurant, Frederick saw a lot of Wesson bags on the dining table.
Weisen bread has been spread here, but the food sandwiched between two pieces of bread has been replaced by local specialties.
And because the way of eating them with big mouthfuls seems very rude, these buns are not made very big and can be finished in two or three bites.
Frederick picked up a small Wesson bag at the hostess's greeting, and his eyes suddenly lit up after taking one bite.
I don’t know what spices are added to the fried beef patties. After being sliced and fried, the flavor is mellow, which is different from the ones from Weisen.
The green sauce is made from parsley, sorrel, borage, anise, chives, parsley and dill. It has a light taste and a unique aroma. If Gul'dan had made this pot of stuff, Taste, Hellraiser can drink two more bowls.
There is also cheese with a slight yogurt flavor and fresh vegetable leaves. The combination of taste is not bad.
Now Frederick's appetite began to increase, and naturally a small Wesson bag couldn't fill his stomach. Seeing Sofia chatting with Philip, he reached out and picked up another one.
When he was eating the fourth one, he suddenly found Maria across the table looking at him and snickering, so he asked her: "What's so happy about it?"
Maria replied: "You eat so much!"
Frederick said: "Because it's delicious."
Unexpectedly, the little girl pouted and said: "You eat so much, father has nothing to eat."
Frederick Speechless, she immediately changed the subject: "I brought you a toy. I'll teach you how to play with it later." As soon as she mentioned having a toy to play with, Maria immediately stopped caring about whether her father was full and asked curiously: "What kind of toy is it? Is it fun?"
It turns out that in this era of lack of toys, checkers are very attractive to children.
Especially when Frederick asked her to win two games and then lose one. As a result, she was dragged by the little girl to play checkers all afternoon.
In the study, after having lunch, Philip began to deal with the work accumulated during the visit.
Sofia came to the study and said reproachfully: "You are so tired along the way, why don't you take a rest?"
Philip was reading a letter from the Grand Duke of Mainz appointing himself as a glass mirror workshop After putting down the appointment letter of the Governor, he said: "Baron Wesson's carriage is very special. It is fast and not bumpy, and it is not tiring to sit on."
"When this matter is finished, I will go to his place to give If you buy one, you can go out more.”
Sofia sat down on the chair in front of the desk and waved the maid away. They were the only two people left in the study.
"What do you think of Baron Wesson?" Sofia asked.
Philip replied: "He has been a very smart boy since he was a child. He has a good reputation in the territory. His vassals are loyal to him. Now there are the sword master Richard Nall and an unknown person. The teacher taught, for the sake of limitlessness."
Sofia asked again: "Is he engaged?"
"I haven't heard of it." Philip was suddenly stunned, "Do you want to... ”
Sofia did not answer immediately, but walked to the bookshelf and took a thick book and put it in front of her husband.
"You have been busy outside, so I will take care of Maria's affairs." She said, "Here are suitable candidates within a radius of three hundred kilometers. Take a look."
< br>The expression on Philip's face changed for the better. Instead of flipping through the book, he asked: "Where did this come from?"
Sofia replied: "I heard it all in the salon. , I asked someone to verify it.”
Philip was speechless. Noble ladies have their own social circles. Regardless of national affairs, all kinds of gossip about family affairs spread quickly. , maybe his daughter’s information is also registered at someone else’s house.
"There is no need to be in such a hurry." He said softly to his wife, "Maria is only six years old, it is too early to discuss marriage."
A helpless smile appeared on Sophia's pale face, and she sighed. Said: "I know my own body, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until that time."
Philip stood up and walked behind the lady, held her shoulders with both hands, and said softly: "Don't worry, there is a way. There will be."
"Baron Wesson has many scholars from the East Puran Empire in Constantbul. I will ask after a while, maybe there is a way."
Sofia just smiled slightly, stretched out her right hand and gently patted her husband's hand on her left shoulder, and then held it tightly.
Over the years, she had heard similar words from her husband many times, and had visited many doctors and pharmacists. In the end, there was no other way except eating and drinking, and taking some drugs that treated the symptoms rather than the root cause to reduce the symptoms.
Sofia tilted her head, pressed her face on the back of her husband's hand on her right shoulder, and whispered: "The only one I'm worried about is Maria. I'm worried that someone will bully her after I leave. "
"I think Baron Wesson is good. You said he is smart. He also has the sword master, and he will not let Maria suffer no matter what."
Said. At this point, Philip would not directly refute his wife, and said softly: "They are still young now, let's talk in a few years."
At this time, Maria felt that she had no challenge in beating Frederick in checkers. I felt sexual, so I took out my toys and played with them.
She took out a cylindrical object from the box and pulled Frederick to the highest watchtower of the castle.
Lore is surrounded by mountains, and birds fly up from time to time.
“Look!” Maria proudly handed the monocular to Frederick, “With this, you can see the birds in the mountains and the lambs in the fields! ”
