”As a knight, you ht hts This is ht than his mastery over his swordmanshi+p Understand?”
After many days of failure, she finally one-upped her fellow peers Lin Ling allowed herself a loat in it, Arthur's ain
”You stupid woman will never be able to dictate your own life”
Staring at the two children's back as they leave the courtyard, she felt conflicted again
It is at this moment, that Merlin spoke to her
”Lin Ling, I will gift you a weapon”
His voice faded with the wind, and in his hand a lightweighted bow appeared
The bow's appearance can not be described indecorative text 弓身上用许多细小的蓝宝石镶嵌成了某种蜿蜒的植物藤蔓，在阳光的照耀下反射出美丽的光芒，更令人惊奇的是，在这蓝光中还有一抹白色，散发着微微的银光，如同深夜中月亮的柔和光亮，如同湖面的粼粼波光……)
The bow is inlaid with ems, a curvaceous vine-like eave off a splendid shi+ne Evenis the bluish coat on it's silver sheen The softness of that gleaht moon, and the soft sparkle of the lake
Lin Ling's pupil widened at the bow It is theher eyes had laid on
”This This is for me?”
Her steady voice betrayed a sense of disbelief at the gift
”Together with the Moon Arrow, this boill display the moon's power (TL: I will punish you in the name of the Moon!) This will be your most powerful weapon in the future However, you will use normal arrows for now Before you can use the Moon Arrows, you need to train to raise your level Once you have reached a certain level, the Moon Arroill possess a stronger force Sier your attacks with the Moon Arroill be Enemies struck by your arroill turn to stars themselves This weapon is perfect for you”
Merlin handed over the bow to Lin Ling
”As for the Moon Arrows, I will keep it in e until the day you can use it”
”Merlin, I really am not suitable for this Like Arthur said, I'm an idiot How can I help him in his quest if I'm an idiot?”
Lin Ling spoke out her lack of self confidence
”Not suitable?”
The wizard's expression softens up
”Aren't you doing fine right now? Lin Ling, believe in me that believes in you yourself One day, you will beArthur My eyes are never wrong” (TL: MerlinArthur's camp)
”But I”
”Soon, I will teach you siic only to you”
Teeks passed The Countess has now returned to the castle Just like Lin Ling expected, the Countess is a sophisticated and graceful lady The next day, the Countess started classes on manners, musical instruments, social rules and etiquettes
Lin Ling is relieved at the Countess's ao home What surprises herwas laid in the chicken coop, more so the Count has never expressed his interest to try an egg dish
What should I do? Lin Ling is not fas and thus, for her own safety, she only kept to the castle area
”Lin Ling, are you listening to me?”
The Countess seeed her back to reality Our heroine quickly nods and focused on the class instead
TL: God save me at this part below
”An aristocrat, be it friend or foe, reet one another in a respectful manner For thehis left hand to his chest to salute, his right hand to re The wohtly with both hands, and nod towards the other party If both parties are on horseback, theremains the same, while the women only need to nod in courtesy”
The Countess's voice is sweet and gentle, alluring listeners to stoop closer for more
”But mother, what if the men is in full armor attire?”
Kay curiously raised a question
The Countess looked at his son lovingly
”Be patient, I was about to touch on thata full armor attire, he need not remove his helht to his chest before nodding He needs not bow, as long as he is riding a horse nor does he need to remove his helmet A nod will do Should both parties areas the other party is not of a higher status than him or a lady, he does not need to diseoes if the other rider is also fully armored”
This is so co as she tried toat the Countess with forlorn eyes
Lin Ling remembered Merlin's words Arthur's mother passed away in his early years Moreover, the Countess is Arthur's aunt It would not be weird if their visage is somewhat similar to the boy
Arthur, that boy Does he miss his mother?
The sun soon sets, and the sky is replaced with a dark sky, stars hanging and twinkling above heads The night breeze brought the flower's fragrance as it did, the ht shone on the scene, like a fairy tale-like drearant red roses All of it adds up to a fantasy dream
As Lin Ling paced slowly to the garden, she saw a sure at the foot of the cherry tree Arthur was quietly sitting, enveloped by the night surroundings She discreetly approached the tree, and sat with her back leaning against the tree Arthur did not notice her approach, only quietly watching the still night sky
”You stupid woo home?”
He asked
She blinked at the question
”Of course! Although s that I hate, I still ot here”
Arthur was silent all the while
”Once I noticed how one”
He paused before asking
”Why aren't you going home yet?”
”Once I have coo home”
She replied
”Task?”
Arthur raised his eyebrows at this
”You mean the task that Master asked you to help with in the future?”
”I know I' right in front of me, yet I kept quiet I saw ain There's even once I was harassed, yet that too, I kept quiet I never tried to make the first initiative to know people either, I just kept tothat someone would do it to me first”
Lin Ling rattled on, only to stop halfway
” Why a this to a rascal? You won't understand anyway”
”I am not a rascal”
His tone was displeased at her comment
”But the you now, is not suited to be byhome Here, you're on your own”
”Arthur, don't you miss your parents at all?”
Lin Ling blurted out to sate her curiousity
Arthur's expression quickly changed, and he stood up He wears a sneer on his face
”The day I was sent here, I have already forgotten the past” (TL: He said it like, he discarded his past, like a whole new )
He stood under the nity as he softly spoke out his determination
”I will be the king who shall conquers all Work hard, and join me by my side”
