Chapter 32 Maria

In his previous life, Frederick had seen many beauties, big and small, and even more after he came here. There were blonde maids in the castle, and Katie from the south who had the traditional appearance of the first Puran Empire. The dark-skinned pagan merchants doing business, and Psyche with the Aegeus Sea style, etc., thought that they would never be moved by beauty in this life.

However, when he saw Philip's six-year-old daughter Maria running out of the castle, running across the drawbridge towards him... Philip beside him, he felt that his heart rate had already broken through the sky.

Maria's skin is as white as winter snow, her facial features are more delicate than dolls, her rosy face is like a ripe apple, her laughter is like the sound of heaven, her hair and eyes are as black as charcoal, she is the first The style of the Puran Empire.

Philip happily picked up his daughter and didn't notice a pig beside him.

Frederick was startled by a look, and immediately came back to his senses.

A lady walked out of the gate of the castle. She had the same black hair and eyes as Maria, and she was looking at Frederick with a half-smile.

Philip's wife Sophia walked to the carriage and said to her daughter, "Hurry up and greet the guests."

The father and daughter, who were expressing their thoughts, realized that there was another guy next to them.

After some introductions, Maria raised the hem of her skirt lightly with both hands, bowed and said, "Your safety, Baron Wesson, welcome to Lore."

After she finished speaking, her big watery eyes looked curiously at the peer in front of her who was dressed in strange clothes.

Frederick returned to normal, and said with a smile, "Miss Ertal, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Then he greeted Sophia again, and was surprised to find that the lady's face was pale, and her eye sockets were a little sunken, and she should be sick.

After some greetings, Sophia took Frederick's hand and said, "You're welcome here, it's like coming home."

Frederick immediately replied, "I really feel sorry for disturbing Madam."

"It's okay." Sophia pulled him into the castle. "Our hiking trails here are very famous. We have fun in spring, summer, autumn and winter. We will come here often when we have time."

"This summer is very hot, but the mountains are very cool. If you are interested, you can go to have fun recently."

Philip pulled his daughter to walk behind, and within a few steps, he heard some problems from his wife's words.

Someone rushed back to report yesterday, and today Sophia has prepared a residence for Frederick and his servants in the castle.

Considering the tiring journey, the lunch is not luxurious, but it is full of weight.

When he came to the restaurant, Frederick saw a lot of Wesson bags on the table.

Wesson bread has been handed down here, but the food sandwiched between the two slices of bread has been replaced by local specialties.

And because the eating method of gnawing seems very unrefined, these buns are not big, and can be eaten in two or three bites.

Under the greeting of the hostess, Frederick picked up a small Wesson bag, and his eyes lit up as soon as he took it down.

I don't know what spices are added to the fried beef patties. After the slices are fried, the taste is mellow, which is different from the Wesson collar.

The green sauce is made of geranium, sorrel, borage, anise, shallot, parsley and dill. Taste, Hellscream can drink two more bowls.

There is also cheese with a slight yogurt flavor and fresh vegetable leaves. The combination of taste does not feel bad.

Now Frederick's appetite began to increase, and a small Wesson bag naturally couldn't fill his stomach. Seeing Sophia chatting with Philip, he reached out for another one.

When he was eating the fourth one, he suddenly found Maria on the other side of the table looking at him and giggling, so he asked her, "What's the fun?"

Maria replied: "You eat a lot!"

Frederick said, "Because it's delicious."

Unexpectedly, the little girl pouted and said: "You eat so much, father has nothing to eat."

Frederick was speechless, and immediately changed the subject: "I'll bring you a toy, and I'll teach you how to play it later, okay?"

When it came to having toys to play with, Maria immediately asked curiously whether her father was full or not, "What kind of toy is it? Is it fun?"

It turns out that in this age of toys, checkers are very attractive for young children.

Especially Frederick let her win two games and lose one game, and the result was that she was dragged by the little girl to play checkers all afternoon.

In the study, Philip started to deal with the work accumulated during the visit after lunch.

Sophia came to the study and said reproachfully, "You're so tired all the way, why don't you take a break?"

Philip was looking at a letter of appointment appointed by the Grand Duke of Mainz as the governor of the glass mirror workshop. After putting it down, he said: "Baron Wesson's carriage is very special. It is fast and does not bump, and it does not tire you when you sit."

"When the work is over this time, I'll go to him and buy you one, so you can go out and walk more."

Sophia sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and waved the maid to leave, leaving only the husband and wife in the study.

"What do you think of Baron Wesson?" Sophia asked.

Philip replied: "He was a very smart child since he was a child. He has a good reputation in the territory. His vassals are loyal to him. Now he is taught by His Excellency Richard Nall, the sword master, and an unknown teacher. Limited."

Sophia asked again: "Is he engaged?"

"I haven't heard of it." Philip was taken aback suddenly, "Don't tell me you want to..."

Sophia didn't answer right away, but went to the bookshelf and took a thick booklet and put it in front of her husband.

"You have been busy outside, and I will take care of Maria's affairs." She said, "Here is a suitable candidate within a radius of [-] kilometers. Take a look."

The expression on Philip's face changed after breathing. Instead of flipping through the booklet, he asked, "Where did this come from?"

Sophia replied: "I found out about it in the salon, and I got it verified."

Philip had nothing to say. Noble wives have their own social circles. Not to mention important national affairs, the short news from various parents spreads real and fast. Maybe his daughter's information is also filed in other people's homes.

"Don't be in such a hurry." He said softly to his wife, "Maria is only six years old, it's too early to discuss marriage."

A helpless wry smile appeared on Sophia's pale face, and she sighed and said, "My body knows it, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until then."

Philip stood up and walked behind Madam, put his hands on her shoulders, and said softly, "Don't worry, there will be a solution."

"Baron Wesson came to many scholars from Constantbul of the Eastern Pulan Empire. I will ask after a while, maybe there is a way."

Sophia just smiled slightly, stretched out her right hand and patted her husband's hand on her left shoulder lightly, then held it tightly.

Over the years, she has heard similar things from her husband many times, and she has also consulted many doctors and pharmacists. As a result, there is no other way to reduce symptoms except to eat and drink well and take some medicines that treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

Sophia turned her head to the side, pressed her face on the back of her husband's hand on her right shoulder, and said in a low voice, "The only thing I'm worried about is Maria. I'm worried that someone will bully her after I leave."

"I think Baron Wesson is not bad. You say he is smart, and he also has Master Juggernaut. No matter what he does, he won't make Maria suffer."

Speaking of which, Philip would not directly refute Madam, and said softly: "They are still young now, let's talk about it in a few years."

At this time, Maria felt that it was no longer a challenge for her to beat Frederick in checkers, so she took out her toys to play.

She took out a cylindrical object from the box and dragged Frederick to the tallest watchtower of the castle.

Lore is surrounded by mountains, and birds fly up from time to time.

"Look!" Maria proudly handed the binoculars to Frederick, "Use this to see the birds in the mountains and the lambs in the fields!"
