The lone wolf of Freyrdrand

Gifts

Fiona got up very early, and she was awake before dawn. .

She wanted to practice swords in the morning habitually, but when she opened her eyes, she saw a strange ceiling.

“That’s right… I’m staying at Viscount Catherine’s house…” Fiona came to her senses.

She sat up, the scented candle by the bed hadn’t burned out, the dim light shone on Fiona’s corner, and more parts of the room were shrouded in darkness.

Fiona sat there feeling lost. She wanted to practice sword practice, but her saber had already been confiscated by her father.

She came here to practice before marriage. Before she left, she was told by her family that the only thing she had to do when she came here was to dress herself up beautifully to make her future mother-in-law and husband happy.

Fiona started to be in a daze, until now she still couldn’t accept the reality.

Accept the reality that you want to get married.

Fiona turned her head to look at a new set of clothes placed beside the bed. It was the same as yesterday, a fluffy skirt with lace and ribbons.

Fiona couldn’t imagine wearing this kind of clothes for the rest of her life, she couldn’t imagine waking up to see someone next to her pillow, she couldn’t imagine herself having a big belly one day, she couldn’t imagine herself having sex with her. The other ladies were eating macarons while chatting about how to take care of their husbands and raise their children.

When Fiona thought about it, her stomach hurt.

She sat like this until dawn, and finally got out of bed, put on the skirt clumsily, put on the stockings she hated, put on the corset she hated even more, sprayed on the perfume she hated the most, and walked out room door.

“Good morning, Miss Fiona.” There were already maids standing at the door, and they were all smiling, trying their best to please their future mistress, “Mrs. Catherine and Master Robert have already gone to the dining room, and Master Robert asked us not to wake you up.” , they will have dinner together after you pass by, please come with us.”

Fiona nodded silently, and followed the maid to leave.

In the dining room, a mother and son were sitting and chatting, with a maid standing behind them. On the table were three servings of food that hadn’t been opened yet.

Seeing Fiona coming, Rorschach showed a warm smile, and stood up to hold Fiona’s hand.

Fiona hated Rorschach’s initiative to touch her, but she endured it in front of Viscount Catherine, and was obediently led into the banquet by Rorschach.

After taking his fiancée to his seat, Rorschach sat opposite Fiona and said with a smile, “Okay, let’s eat. Breakfast will be cold later.”

The three of them started to eat. Fiona slowly scooped up the yolk from the half-opened egg with a small spoon, and ate it tastefully.

“Where are we going to play today?” Rorschach asked.

Fiona said indifferently: “Whatever…”

Evelyn ate a piece of fried bacon, and said, “Rorschach, take good care of Fiona, I still have something to do today. By the way, don’t you have a gift for Fiona?”

“Gift?” Fiona looked at Rorschach suspiciously.

“Mother, look at my memory.” Luo Xia patted his forehead, “Why did I forget this?”

Rorschach took out a long and thin box from the chair next to it, and pushed it in front of Fiona: “Open it and have a look, it’s a gift for you.”

Fiona looked at Rorschach warily: “Why did you give me a gift?”

“We’re both engaged, so it’s normal to give some gifts.” Rorschach said naturally, “And I haven’t given you anything yet. I don’t want you to blame me for this after marriage.”

Fiona frowned: “I won’t…”

“Okay.” Evelyn interrupted Fiona’s words, “My son’s wish, you should open it first and take a look.”

Fiona put down the tableware, picked up the box and opened it up.

The moment Fiona saw what was inside, ripples appeared in Fiona’s eyes.

In the gift box is a beautiful slender rapier.

“Using the SouthSilver steel produced in the mountains, the inner core is forbidden magic stone. Luo Xia said, “Three swordsmiths were invited to forge it together. The length and weight of the sword should be similar to your original one.” ”

“This…” Fiona couldn’t help touching the smooth blade of the rapier, “You… give me the sword?”

“I think it’s a pity that you didn’t bring a sword when you came here this time.” Luo Xia said, “I actually think that you are much more beautiful when you still wear a sword.”

Fiona was dumbfounded, she could only look at Rorschach, but couldn’t say a word.

The sword that Luo Xia gave her is much better than her original one.

“Why, don’t you like it?” Luo Xia scratched his face, “I don’t know much about swords, so let the swordsmith give me the best standard [resource; source group]: 9? 8; 0; 2? .0′.5,,8’5. ;6 So, could it be that he lied to me? ”

“No…” Fiona said, “This sword… is very good…”

Luo Xia seemed relieved and said, “Then do you like it?”

“Hi…” Fiona struggled to jump out the words, “I like… thank you…”

“You’re welcome, we are husband and wife.” Rorschach said, “Go to the yard later and see if you can take advantage of it.”

“Hmm.” Fiona’s hands were trembling a little, she quickly ate her breakfast, obviously she couldn’t wait to try this sword.

“Robert…” Fiona felt a strange emotion in her heart, “He actually gave me a sword… What does that mean… Does it mean that even if I marry him, he won’t interfere with my freedom to practice swords… ”

Fiona suddenly had a thought that marrying Robert wasn’t all bad.

At least she was thwarted in every possible way in the Laurent family, and she could only learn swordsmanship secretly, but here she can practice without restraint.

Fiona’s brain was not enough for an instant, a faint blush appeared on her face, and she was surprised to find that she was actually slowly accepting this marriage.

But when Fiona fell into trouble, her happy time came to an abrupt end.

She felt a foot rubbing against her calf.

Judging from the direction, it was obvious that he was the man opposite him.

Fiona looked across, and saw that her fiancé was eating breakfast calmly, but the feet under the table were crawling up her thighs, about to get in between her thighs.

Fiona’s heart felt as if it had fallen into an ice cellar.

She slammed the table hard, stood up, stared at Rorschach with fire-breathing eyes, and left the table angrily, not even taking the sword away.

After Fiona left, Evelyn looked at Rorschach who was eating breakfast contentedly, and thought: “Poor Fiona, she was completely played by my son…hehe…”

…

“That bastard! What did you think of me!” Fiona slammed the pillow on the bed as if venting her anger.

She imagined the bed as Robert’s face, hitting it hard with the force of a deadly slap, knowing that all the feathers in the pillow were slapped out and flew all over the bed.

Fiona lay panting on the side of the bed, the anger in her heart still not extinguished: “That bastard, do you think I’m a prostitute, you can do that kind of thing to me just by giving me something… It’s still under the eyes of Viscount Catherine… It’s too presumptuous…”

Fiona felt that it was because Robert had defeated her in the duel that she felt that she could beat her, that’s why he was so presumptuous to her.

Fiona slowly calmed down, her eyes were dull and unfocused as if she was dead: “I’m so useless… I can only vent my anger on the pillow… If it was before, I would have stabbed it with a sword…”

Thinking of the sword, Fiona thought of the sword that was given to her as a gift, and she didn’t take that sword away out of anger, and now she started to regret a bit: “I really want to practice sword… I really want to practice sword… ”

Boom, boom, boom!

The door was knocked.

“Who…” Fiona said weakly.

“It’s me.” Rorschach’s voice came from outside the door.

Fiona’s anger flared up again, she rushed to the door and opened it: “Are you still trying to humiliate me!”

“Humiliation?” Rorschach asked suspiciously, “Humiliation of what?”

“You!” Fiona pointed at Rorschach’s nose, “You did that to me…”

“Oh, you said that.” Rorschach shook his head helplessly, “Dear Fiona, let me remind you again, we are an unmarried couple, and that kind of behavior is not even intimacy, it can only be considered a couple.” It’s just a daily interaction between them.”

Of course, Fiona couldn’t accept Rorschach’s explanation. She said coldly, “Anyway, if you touch me without my permission, it’s a great humiliation to me!”

“Okay, okay, whatever you think.” Luo Xia took the gift box and sent it to Fiona. “Do you still want this sword?”

“Don’t!” Although Fiona felt sorry for this good sword, she had integrity, and it was impossible for her to shamelessly ask for the sword after being humiliated like this.

“Oh, then I can only throw it away.” Luo Xia looked regretful and was about to leave.

“Wait!” Fiona called Rorschach, “Why throw it away, it’s fine if you don’t use it for others.”

“no.”

“why not?”

“Because of this.” Rorschach took out the stabbing sword and pointed to a line of words engraved on the hilt——

Dedicated to my beloved Fiona. Laurent

Fiona’s breath stagnated.

“I said this sword was specially made for you.” Rorschach put the sword back into the box, “Since you don’t appreciate it, I have no choice but to throw it away.”

“Wait!” Fiona grabbed Rorschach’s arm.

“what happened again?”

Fiona’s whole body was trembling, and she seemed to use all her strength to squeeze out these words: “This sword… I… I want it…”

“But you didn’t pay back just now…”

“It’s such a pity to throw away such a good sword…Since it has my name engraved on it, and no one wants to give it away, then…ah…will you give it to me?”

“Yes, of course.”

Fiona snatched the gift box from Rorschach, took out the sword, and hugged it vigorously.

“Then are you still angry with me?” Rorschach asked.

Fiona looked at Rorschach darkly and complicatedly: “Yuan…forgive you once…next time if you do it again, I’ll pierce you!”

“Okay.” Luo Xia spread his hands helplessly, “I spent a lot of money to give you a gift, and you won’t let me touch it, so you have to give me some compensation.”

Fiona hesitated for a while: “What do you want?”

“Hmm…” Rorschach thought for a while, “How about… let’s go on a date today and date like a couple.”
