~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Listening to the sound of the carriage wheels knocking on the uneven ground, Will looked out the window at the riverside scenery with boredom.
The road from the capital to the palace, that is, the castle standing prominently on the mountain, is particularly quiet, but the trees on both sides of the road are very well maintained and have been specially trimmed. It seems that even the declining royal family still has to do enough surface work.
The banquet actually started at 5 pm, but Will was asked by his father to arrive early in the afternoon so that he could follow the servants around the palace.
From what he said, he probably wanted him to get in touch with more members of the palace.
However...
In fact, he was only interested in that Treya.
There were only him and the butler in the carriage, but they walked halfway without anyone talking.
"Master, I didn't expect you to be so obedient and follow the master's request to come to the appointment."
The butler probably felt that it was a bit awkward to say nothing along the way, so he, who was the most mature and able to read the atmosphere, spoke up.
"Well... do I look like the kind of person who doesn't understand the situation and the scene, will rebel for no reason, or even be incompetent and furious?"
The butler smiled.
"Haha, of course not. Maybe I don't know the master well enough, and I want to learn more about him. What surprised me was that you actually wore the suit given by the master, and it really fits you very well."
"If you don't wear this, you don't have any other clothes. You can't wear a school uniform to the party..."
"Your obedience is already very surprising."
"I'm curious, what do you think of me?"
"For many people, the young master of the Systrom family is probably fickle and behaves a little strangely - to be honest, Master, I thought so before sitting here."
"Is that so..."
It was not as Will expected.
In fact, it was very strange. Although I was actually "Will" since birth, that is to say, the angry, explosive, stupid, foolish... and even a little perverted young master in the original work did not exist.
But...
I don't know if it's because the reputation of the Systrom family is really bad, or because I don't participate in social occasions very often, or because of the inexplicable power of trying to reverse the fate of the original work, most people's impression of him is not much different from the original work.
This may also be the reason why the fourth sister Eugenie still plans to provoke him and wants him to break off the engagement in public after being attacked on the road and bullied in school.
"But the master doesn't think so."
"What does he think?"
This is one of the rare times that Will can hear others talk about Carver's thoughts.
He and his father...
The distance is really too far.
Whether it is physical distance - such as the number of times they meet.
Or psychological distance - such as the degree of understanding of each other.
"I can't fully understand the master. However, I'm not trying to comfort you. The master really cares about you and he's been watching your condition."
"Oh..."
The butler said it sincerely.
But Will found it hard to believe...the nonsense about Carver.
"He has emphasized to me many times that although your other brothers have done a good job, he always thinks you have the most potential."
Carver...
really thinks so?
Did he think so because of the original work, or because he was added as a variable?
If it's the former, it's completely unreliable, but if it's the latter...
There's room for thought.
"Master, this time the master will also be there in person. This may be a good opportunity. You can talk to him more."
Although Will himself disliked this father a little.
But he was right. It's time to get in touch with him.
Chapter 61: Unexpected Encounter
The carriage arrived soon. The capital was not too far from the royal castle.
Although he had looked up at this castle many times in the capital, Will was still a little surprised when he arrived in person.
Unlike what he imagined, the castle was built on a hillside, so the interior was actually undulating and made of cold and hard stones. The palace actually occupied the entire hill behind the capital, and it had been renovated to a certain extent. There were many green gardens inside, and the palaces of each family were also divided.
The castle that you can see when you look up in the capital is actually only about one-tenth of the palace.
The largest area of the palace is the forest and garden that are relatively natural due to the advantage of being built on the mountain.
Therefore, the area of the entire palace is about four or five times larger than he imagined.
"Hello, Master Will, you can go this way. This is Princess Treya's palace, and the garden where she often walks. There is still some time before the banquet starts, you can move freely here."
Good guy.
He actually took him directly to where Treya was.
From the beginning of being a servant, they have been preparing for the married life of the two?
Will clearly remembered that the information about this banquet was still quite confidential, and not many people really knew that there would be an engagement at this banquet.
"Yeah. No problem. Then... you don't have to follow me."
This is an opportunity.
According to the original work, Treya was still training with a sword in her training ground until two hours before the banquet.
I wonder if he'll wander around here for a bit...
Is there a chance to meet her by chance?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The world in Treya's eyes is bright.
The world in Treya's eyes is colorful.
The world in Treya's eyes cannot tolerate negative blackness.
In the gentle afternoon sunshine, in the training ground.
Treya did not choose to wear armor, but a loose training suit.
But she did not use the wooden sword for training, but a real silver sword - which is also her most commonly used sword.
In the training ground, facing the ten training dolls in front of her, which were randomly placed at different heights, she started and drew her sword.
"Entak Eleventh Style·Slash."
Whoosh.
Treya left a few afterimages in the air, and only her silver hair could be seen.
Almost at the same time, the ten training dolls directly broke into several pieces and shattered on the ground.
Treya stood there, one hand sheathed the sword, the other hand lifted the loose hair on her forehead, and stood straight.
"Huh."
Everyone in Treya's eyes is colorful.
For example...
Her sister, the sister who taught her the Entak magic sword, is also a red magic sword that has made a name for herself in the dungeon as an adventurer, Eugenie, who is as red and warm as the sun.
Her father, the king who has watched her grow up since she was a child, is conscientious and has to take care of everything in the Entak Empire, but he cares about her very much, and is as calm as the blue sky.
She will also be like them, like the princesses in fairy tales, and become a princess who can stand on her own.
Then, like the floating clouds in the sky, white and beautiful.
"One more time..."
Treya took out a new doll from the side, carefully placed it on the training position drawn by Eugenie for her, and walked back.
On weekdays, she might have to train until dark, but...
Today is the day she will meet her fiancé, and he will definitely be a person with brilliant colors.
I am looking forward to it.
What color will he be?
"I say, your swordsmanship, tut tut tut, is really not good, it is unbearable to watch."
From behind Treya, a very radical comment suddenly came.
"Who?"
She tilted her head, and there was no anger in her tone of questioning, but very calm, as if she really just wanted to know the identity of the person who came, and she didn't seem to have any special emotions for his unfounded accusations.
Standing behind her was a brown-haired boy wearing glasses.
He was a little shorter than her, but from the looks of it, he should be the same age as her. Because of Treya's half-elf blood, her growth period is a little earlier, so she will appear taller than her peers.
He was wearing a straight suit, very elegant. Treya had not seen many boys of the same age, but perhaps because he was wearing a suit when he first appeared, he looked quite handsome in Treya's eyes.
"Well... just an ordinary person who passed by and knows a little about swordsmanship."
The boy spread his hands, shrugged, and walked towards her, as if he had no sense of distance from her as a princess.
There were many people at the banquet today, and there must be young masters of the same age from various families. Before the banquet started, some people who arrived early would be allowed to wander around in the public garden.
When Treya thought of this, she felt relieved about the fact that a strange man appeared in the training ground.
"Well, can you tell me what's wrong with it?"
"Uh..."
The boy didn't seem to expect that his aggressive answer would be answered by Treya's sincere, humble and polite question. He didn't seem to know how to respond for a while.
"Since you know a little about swordsmanship, you should be able to make reasonable suggestions."
"Don't you doubt that... I'm actually lying to you and bragging about myself?"
"... Lying to me?"
There was no change in Treya's expression, she just tilted her head slightly to the side.
She knew the very bad definition of "lying". In her eyes, it was something gray and black that was neither bright nor gorgeous.
So, she never put herself in the position of being deceived at the first time.
"Oh, really."
The boy sighed and walked to the side of the dolls that Treya had already placed.
"Miss, can I move your doll a little?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
The boy turned around the ten dolls, as if observing the position of the dolls. After circling back and forth twice, he stood at the two dolls in the middle and lifted it up.
Trea stood quietly by and observed.
The training position of the doll was set by Eugenie for her. The beheading itself tests the attack speed and range. The right position can train her attack range in a short time.
It took her several months of training to be able to defeat these ten puppets in an instant. But it is said that her very strong sister was able to do it after ten days of learning.
"Okay. How about you try the swordsmanship just now?"
The boy didn't seem to do anything very common, just repositioned the two puppets, and now the ten puppets are still relatively compactly placed in the middle of the training ground.
"Yeah."
