Adult fairy tale: starting from Cinderella’s feet

After finally reuniting with his daughter, he hadn’t even held her hand, and now he was giving her away again.

Given the twists and turns of the plot, if Orvis hadn’t been a seasoned knight, he would probably have to ask a doctor to perform CPR.

Sophia on the side seemed much calmer, and even tried to persuade Orvis:”Why are you shouting so loudly? You are the Duke, my lord!”

But even with his wife’s persuasion, Orvis still couldn’t calm down:”Madam, didn’t you hear? Alice said she wanted Ayse to marry her!”

“I heard it, sir!” Sophia still answered slowly:”Mr. Esther looks extraordinary. If they both like each other, getting married is not a big deal.……！”

“cough cough……”Ovis coughed violently, interrupting Sophia’s next words of approval:”Mr. Esther, please wait a moment, I want to talk to my wife!”

Esther nodded, and Alice beside him looked at her father and then at Esther, a little confused: Isn’t it enough to just like someone to get married?

After Ovis pulled Sophia aside, Sophia spoke first with some displeasure

“My Lord, do you think Mr. Esther has no title? You look down on him and don’t want Alice to marry him!”

Sophia usually doesn’t argue with Orvis, but now for her daughter Alice, Sophia has to say a few words.

“Sir, do you remember that I followed you when you were just a spearman? You have never disliked the rich and powerful!”

“Madam, it would be best if our daughter married an excellent and noble man, but of course this is not necessary!

Even if this guy is a commoner, as long as he really likes Alice, I can find a way to make him a noble, so that his status is reasonable and worthy of Alice!”

Sophia heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this:”Then why were you so startled just now? You scared Alice!”

“I don’t know what title this boy has, but his identity is too complicated!

He has the exclusive mount of the Paladin – the Holy Horse, and the prince’s badge! 20

Although you don’t get involved in politics, you should also know the complicated relationship between the king, the prince and me, and our three families now!”

Sophia pondered for a moment and said:”I don’t know how you three fought together to conquer this land and established the Snow Kingdom! How did it become like this now!

But no matter how you three fight openly or secretly, my daughter will never become a political victim of yours!”

“I……”Orvis got emotional for a moment, glanced at the reception hall again, lowered his voice and continued:”Of course I will not let my daughter become a political victim!

On the contrary, not allowing Alice and Esther to get married is protecting her!

Think about it, the relationship between the king and the prince seems to be very harmonious now, but in fact there are many competitions!

This kid is mixed with two forces, and he will be involved in chaos!

If Alice marries him, the king and the prince will know, and then Alice will really become a political victim!”

Sophia felt that Orvis’ explanation made some sense after listening to it, and her expression suddenly became embarrassed:”Then what should I do?”

“Alice is still young and hot-headed. Most likely, when Esther escorted Alice back, she was blinded by some one-sided glory!

Madam, take Alice back and have a good talk. I will think of a way to test Esther and make him retreat!”

“this……”Sophia hesitated:”Will this make Alice sad?”

“It’s better to be sad for a while than to lose your life! Madam, please think about it!”

Sophia sighed and said,”Okay, I will try to persuade Alice, but you must not be too harsh!”

“I know my limits. At least this guy protected Alice!”

After the couple finished their discussion, they walked into the hall again.

Seeing her parents come in, Alice immediately shouted excitedly:”Mom and Dad, can I marry Mr. Esther?”

“Um… this!” When it came time to speak, Orvis was still a little hesitant:”Alice, come here first!”

“”Oh? Can’t I?” Alice hugged Esther tighter.

“Regardless of whether this is possible or not, Alice, before you marry Mr. Esther

, you are still our daughter, right? You have to stay with us first before Mr. Esther can marry you, right?

Don’t you want to talk to your mother for a while first?”

“”Oh, that’s right! Then Mr. Esther, I’ll go to my mother first!”

Alice looked at Esther and saw Esther nod, then she happily ran to Sophia.

“Madam, please take Alice back and dress her up first. I’ll chat with Mr. Esther for a while!”

“”Good!”

Alice happily waved goodbye to Esther, thinking that she would marry Esther soon.

Ovis kept smiling until Alice’s back disappeared, and then he immediately became serious, and Otto’s hand beside him also placed on the hilt of the sword.

“Mr. Esther!”Ovis’ tone also returned to the seriousness of the Duke before.

“What does Your Excellency the Duke want to talk to me about?”

“Chat? Hahaha! Mr. Esther is a straightforward person, so I won’t say any more nonsense!”

Orvis straightened his back and put his hands behind his back:”You sent my daughter back, I am very grateful to you.

You can ask for anything, I can satisfy you within my ability!

You could have chosen a valuable fortune, or asked for an official position within my ability, all of which would allow you to spend the rest of your life happily!

But you actually want to marry my daughter, then all of this will come to nothing, you will face a very harsh test from me!”

“Oh, okay, how many exams?”

“Test……”Ovis thought that Esther would be attracted by the conditions first – wealth and power.

But Esther didn’t ask how much money he had to pay or what position he held, and he jumped directly to the test.

Even Ovis himself hadn’t reacted yet. He turned his head and glanced at Otto beside him, and said tentatively:”Test… three?”

Without prior communication, Otto didn’t know what Ovis meant, and he just replied tentatively:”Three?”

“OK, three of you, let’s take the test!”

Esther agreed decisively. After all, this old-fashioned test is nothing more than courage, wisdom and strength. It’s nothing like in fairy tales.

Even Ovis didn’t react to Esther’s quick answer. He just whispered to Otto next to him:”You are so hesitant. People have agreed, but you don’t even give me a definite answer!”

“Ah I……”Otto was also helpless. He was supposed to catch two swindlers who deceived the Duke. He never expected that he would help Lord Orvis test his son-in-law.

“”Okay, then three!” As a duke, Ovis had agreed to the young man’s request. If he dragged his feet any longer, he would lose face.

“Otto, you were in a daze just now and didn’t give me an accurate answer. Now you can help me think about the first test!”

In fact, when Orvis said this, Otto was still in a daze, but after all, this was related to Alice’s lifelong event, and

Otto, as an uncle, instantly concentrated and began to think.

After a moment, Otto’s eyes lit up, and he looked at Orvis with a smile:”Lord Orvis, let me take the first test!”

“You?” Ovis looked at Otto in confusion.

Otto bent his arms and showed Ovis his strength.

Ovis reacted instantly and nodded and said,”Yes! Yes!”

Otto was a fierce general under Ovis. He was so strong that he could easily lift a middle-aged man with his two arms.

So when Otto showed Ovis his arm strength, Ovis decisively accepted the test.

“Esther, strength is the mark of a man. The first thing I want to test is your strength.

General Otto beside me is testing you. Do you dare to accept it?

If you don’t dare, then go and get it.………”(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

“”Okay, come on!”

Before Ovis finished explaining the subsequent conditions, Esther decisively agreed.

For ordinary people, when facing a general, they would be more or less timid, but for Esther, human generals are no longer worth mentioning.

“Good! You have courage! Not timid at all! Not bad!” Otto couldn’t help but praise Esther when he saw his condition.

This stunned Ovis who was standing next to him. He turned his head and asked in confusion:”Otto, what are you doing?”

Otto then realized that he was going to embarrass Esther instead of the usual military selection.

Otto coughed to cover up and changed the subject:”Boy! Strength is not something you can boast about. Come on, let’s go to the parade ground to compete!”

Esther followed Otto to the parade ground. The two came to two huge stone boxes, about five meters high.

“Boy, just do it simply, throw the iron ball! Stand on the ground and throw the iron ball into this stone box!

In half an hour, see who can throw more in! Whoever wins!”

“Yes, simple and rough!”

“”Haha!” Otto laughed and continued,”Boy, don’t agree so readily, the iron ball is as big as your head!

This stone box is five meters high. If your arm strength is not enough, be careful that the iron ball will hit your head!”

“Okay, thanks for the reminder. I will be more careful later and not hit your head with the iron ball!”[]

Esther devoured and transformed the werewolf’s powerful strength. This kind of rigid strength competition was completely child’s play.

“You…are still joking, you won’t be able to laugh later! Come on, bring the iron balls!”

At this time, Ovis, who was watching the battle in the stands, called his personal guards and gave instructions:”Replace General Otto’s iron ball with a hollow one, and use a solid one for Esther!”

“”Yes! Your Excellency the Duke!” After receiving the order, the guards hurriedly ran backstage.

Orvis smiled and breathed a sigh of relief and sat down in his seat in the stands:”Mr. Esther, I’m sorry! Alice can’t be involved in a fierce fight with you!

I hope you can also understand the difficulties of being an old father!”

After the iron balls were delivered to the training ground, Otto easily picked one up and shook it in his hand:”Is your strength stronger today? Maybe the recent training has paid off. It’s too easy, this iron ball!”

But when Otto looked at Esther, he was so shocked that his body shook.

The iron ball was tossed back and forth in Esther’s hands, like a balloon.

Orvis in the stands was a little worried, and turned his head to ask the guards next to him:”Did you get it right! Esther is solid, and Otto is hollow!”

“Your Excellency the Duke, I watched it being released personally, and there was absolutely no mistake!”

“”Oh!” Orvis’ 170 fingers tapped the table beside him in panic, always feeling that it was still a bit suspenseful.

The competition began.

Esther and Otto threw the first iron ball at the same time, almost at the same time.

Orvis first stared at Otto’s throwing, watching Otto throw the iron balls into the stone box one by one, and his performance was very stable.

In a short time, Otto had thrown half a car of iron balls.

Seeing this, Orvis looked at Esther again and found that Esther’s car of iron balls had just thrown out a few of the surface.

“Haha!” Ovis laughed excitedly:”It’s settled, it’s settled, there’s no need to marry my daughter off!

Come on, prepare a hundred silver coins and give them to Mr. Aiser to show my gratitude to him!”

“Uh, Your Excellency the Duke! Mr. Ayser has already thrown the second load of iron balls!” The guard reminded Orvis.

“What!”Ovis stood up from his seat suddenly, took two steps forward and looked at Esther.

Esther used both hands and threw the ball more easily than Otto. Watching Esther throw the iron balls one by one, beads of sweat fell from Ovis’s head.

In the end, Esther passed the test with a huge advantage of five carts of iron balls compared to Otto’s one and a half carts of iron balls.

After the competition, Ovis came to Otto, who was sweating and panting, grabbed Otto’s collar and said,”Didn’t you eat, boy? Why did you only throw so little!”

“I… Oh… Lord Ovis, I… This is not about whether I want to eat or not. No matter how much I eat…

I still performed exceptionally well today. I threw half a car more than usual during training!”

“You threw away half the car, it’s not me……”When Ovis saw Esther approaching, he did not say the second half of the sentence.

Ovis looked at Esther’s relaxed face and was really shocked: Is this guy so strong? He threw five carts of balls without even breathing.

Alice is so delicate, how can she stand him! No way! He must be a guy with strong limbs and a simple mind!

Okay, then I will test your brain next!

“My Lord Duke, there is no need to count the balls. I win just by counting the cars. What’s the next test?”

“Humph, you are quite capable, but I am going to test your brain and your psychological analysis ability!”

Ovis looked very confident, as if he had already thought of a strategy to make Aether fail the test.

“Oh? It sounds complicated! What kind of test?”

A classic process, after testing strength, it is time to test wisdom.

However, Esther has modern academic knowledge, so he is not very panicked by the test mentioned by Ovis.

“Come with me!”

Esther followed Ovis out of the training ground.……
