Chapter 65 Ilya

Ilya noticed that a few strange people came to the castle today. Two of them were almost as tall as her father, but still a little worse than him. There was also a small stalker and a young and handsome swimmer. Bard.

Her grandfather also invited them to have dinner together. During the dinner, the troubadour sang to them the most popular song in Fish Kingdom. This was the first time she heard such a gentle and melodious song. She had only heard the heroic and majestic Nord war song.

While eating dinner, she felt like she had seen that burly bald adventurer somewhere, but she couldn't remember.And the bald adventurer didn't pay attention to her after just looking at her a few times.

Ilya met her cousin and a seven-year-old cousin for the first time the other day.Her cousin and cousin were very kind to her and gave her some small gifts, but the eight-year-old cousin was very annoying and always tried to tease her.

Her grandfather, the Marquess of Charles Firth, did not want to send her back to her father. He was going to leave her in the south to raise her himself, and sent a letter to her father.

Ilya was her father's only daughter, but she also had two older brothers who had the same father and the same mother, and her mother died of dystocia giving birth to her.After her mother died, although many noble girls and young women wanted to associate with her father, her father kept his previous oath and never married again.

A few days ago, she didn't know why she had an idea of ​​wanting to learn swordsmanship in her heart, so she mustered up the courage to go to her grandfather's study and ask him to arrange a swordsmanship teacher for her.Unexpectedly, grandpa agreed. Her father always wanted her to be a lady, and arranged for her many teachers who could teach her women's red. She wanted to learn horse riding but was opposed by her father. It was her two older brothers who secretly taught her of.

A few days after she learned how to ride a horse, she took advantage of the night to trick the guards and drove the carriage out of the castle, and she forgot the memory afterwards.

The Marquis of Foss arranged for her a group of knights and asked her to choose one of them as a teacher. The loyal knights under the Marquis were not angry at all for the Marquis arranging them to teach a little girl swordsmanship.

In the end, she did not choose those knights who needed to be busy with territorial affairs, but chose Sean, the captain of the castle guard who did not have the title of knight.

Sean is the son of the castle steward. He is in his 30s this year. It is said that he grew up with her uncles. Elijah has only met her uncle Oliver. Officer, Oliver, as the heir, has begun to replace the Marquis of Foss in handling the affairs of the territory.

Along with Elijah, she was trained by Sean and her obnoxious cousin Charlie, her cousin had the same name as her grandfather, which is a very common tradition in the mainland, and the grandson and grandfather have the same name.

In the morning training of the first day, Sean asked her to slash a thousand times at the air with an iron one-handed blunt sword, and let her slash at the scarecrow a thousand times in the afternoon.The next day, let her hold the shield in her left hand and repeat the training on the first day...

The boring training made Ilya a little bored. She protested to Sean, but he ignored it.A few days later, and to this day, she still abuses the unresisting scarecrow.

"I don't want to practice this anymore." Ilya complained to Sean who was correcting Charlie's movements.

"Do you want to swing your sword at the air?" Sean stopped his movements and asked.

"I don't want to either! I want to practice my sword skills through actual combat." Ilya said loudly.

"Then you come and try it with Charlie. If you can beat him, I will allow you." Sean said, he still has a little confidence in Charlie who has been trained for two years.

Although Charlie is only eight years old, he is already taller than Ilya, who is almost 13 years old. "I won't bully children." Ilya said angrily.

Charlie was very angry: "Then let's have a competition to see who bullies whom!"

The guards who were training nearby stopped to watch the excitement, and Sean yelled at the guards, "What are you looking at! Bring me the two bluntest wooden swords!"

He threw a wooden sword to each of Charlie and Elia, and said, "Try it, be safe, and don't attack the vital point." He threw a shield to each of them.

Ilya and Charlie picked up the wooden sword and wooden shield, "I'm going to attack, be careful, braggart." Charlie said loudly.

The guards onlookers all laughed, and Ilya blushed and responded loudly, "It's you who is still wetting the bed."

Charlie angrily picked up his sword and shield and rushed towards Ilia. He raised his sword to attack. Ilia blocked his wooden sword with his sword, and brought Charlie's wooden sword to the ground with all his strength. Elijah patted him with a shield, and Charlie raised his shield to block Elijah's shield.

Unexpectedly, Elijah stepped on Charlie's foot, then let go of the sword in his hand while Charlie was screaming, and gave him an uppercut, knocking him out, and he was going to replace it soon deciduous teeth.

Charlie, who was hit by the fist, burst into tears, "I agreed not to hit the head, and you knocked out my teeth."

Sean hurried up to check on Charlie's injury, and comforted him, "This little injury is fine, what she knocked out is the tooth you are about to replace."

"Can I fight against a real person?" Ilya said.

Sean turned around and said helplessly, "Okay, I'll practice with you starting tomorrow." He was a little depressed, because he would hurt a little girl if he accidentally trained with her, and he did it in front of so many subordinates. Sorry to break the word.

Ilya happily left the training ground and returned to the castle...

While eating dinner, Ilya looked at the group of adventurers again. The bald adventurer had lost a lot of weight compared to the previous few days, but he was still as strong as a bear. He had heavy dark circles around his eyes.

"Thank you, Marquis of Foss, for your help. Weber and I will set off tomorrow to find the temple to lift the curse on us. Please take care of him for a few more days." The bald adventurer stood up and toasted the Marquis of Foss. .

"You're welcome, it's just a matter of little effort. Tomorrow you can go on the road with peace of mind. Mr. Yamor said that the child is safe and can wake up at any time. Don't worry." The Marquis of Foss waved his hand. Never touched alcohol.

Amor is the physician in the castle, and it is said that he is the most experienced physician in all of Winterfell.

"Thank you so much." The bald adventurer said as he drank the wine in his glass.

"Even if Hammer didn't bring you here, according to the ancient oath, I will definitely help you," said the Marquis of Foss.

Elijah couldn't understand what they were talking about at all, and she hadn't heard what the ancient vows were. She asked in a low voice to her cousin Stacy next to her, and Stacey shook her head and whispered to remind Elijah to eat It's best not to talk when

After finishing the boring dinner, Ilya picked up the blunt sword used for training and approached Sean. Today, I must let him know that I am not easy to bully...
