Chapter 856: Picking Weapons
While Yvonne was trying to choose a sword that suited her tastes the best, Howard and Mr. Smith had their eyes focused on each other.
Before the little girl’s birthday, the young master of the St. Claire family had approached the owner of the store, Smith’s Smithings, and had placed an order for an item to be made by the talented old man.
The request was to create a sword whose detailed specifications had been mentioned by the young master.
Though the owner found it a little strange, he had accepted the order and had also begun looking for the materials that would be needed to create this new sword.
However, gathering all the necessary items had taken longer than he had expected which delayed the preparation of the new sword.
Therefore, Howard had been unable to hand over the sword which he had planned to give to his baby sister for her birthday.
He had to pretend that he had forgotten about the promise he had made to her and had left for the Royal Academy.
.....
In the meantime, Mr. Smith had been able to fetch everything he needed and had also completed making the sword by the time Young Master had returned six months later.
Since this was a custom-made sword with unique detail work present on it, it had taken such a long time to be completed.
Thankfully, by the time Howard had returned for a break from the Academy, everything was made ready for the gift he had decided for his little sister.
Therefore, today he had brought her over to the store so that she might be the first to hold it as it was made especially for her.
However, the old man had not acted according to the plan that they had made previously.
Mr. Smith should have brought forward two swords, one which he had commissioned to be made and another, a simple sword that would not attract her eye.
In this way, she would be impressed with the custom sword which was much better than the other ordinary one, and choose it right away.
Once she was thoroughly excited about this new sword, he would declare that he had gotten it specially made for her and would reap the bountiful praises she would have in store for him.
Though childish, this was the plan he had come up with for today.
Not only would he be able to give her the present he had prepared for her but also get the chance of gaining a better impression on her heart.
Using her love for his gift, he could prove to her other brothers that he held a higher position in her heart and no one could shake that position.
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
However, all of his schemings had gone to waste when the old man did the exact opposite of what they had decided earlier.
Mr. Smith had brought over six swords, none of which were ordinary to look at.
Each one was better than the other and among them was the sword which Howard had asked to be made.
This made the Young Master panic as he wasn’t sure if she would still be impressed with the sword that he had chosen for her.
He was the one who had personally designed the sword based on his understanding of her skills.
After having watched her train for so many years, he knew just what kind of sword would suit her the best and thus had spent a lot of time drawing the rough figure and coming up with the exact dimensions of her next sword.
Therefore, panic set in his heart at the sight of his little sister picking each sword and checking how they felt in her hands.
Mr. Smith had witnessed the troubled look on his client’s face but he wasn’t about to rectify what he had just done.
After all, it wasn’t a mistake on his part since he had brought out those six swords with a clear purpose in mind.
On the other hand, Yvonne was diligent in testing out each one as she had to pick only the best for herself, unaware of the earnest preparations her elder brother had made for her sake.

Far from where the Young Miss of the St. Claire family was picking a new weapon for herself, another Young Miss was also doing the same.
In a certain fief in the southmost part of the Kingdom, numerous servants were heaving to catch their breath after completing the task their Madam had given them.
Once they were done, they did not delay any longer and left the room right away.
Left in the room were three women and one little girl who were scanning the objects that were just moved into this vast room only recently.
“Mother prepared these for you, Child.” One of the women, a young lady wearing a peach gown, smiled as she gestured to the three objects that the servants had brought in earlier.
The little girl whose fluffy brown hair was tied loosely to keep those unruly strands out of her face was busy scanning the room when she heard these words.
Looking up, her eyes twinkled with gratitude towards this woman and she made sure to express her feelings in words as well.
“Thank you, Mother, for listening to my requests.” She uttered, her obedient demeanor bringing a smile to those present in this room.
Among the three women present in this room, the lady dressed in the peach gown who was addressed as ‘mother’ was also the Madame of this household.
Meanwhile, standing next to her were two others, one who was much older and was donning a somber grey gown, making her appear stern yet dignified.
Whereas, the third woman, dressed in a maid’s uniform, was here to serve the rest present in this room.
As the pair of mother and child smiled at each other, the older lady who happened to be an outsider here had come over to this estate for a reason.
“Young Miss, why don’t you try each one out and decide which one suits you best?” The old guest suggested and by the looks of it, the Madame seemed to agree with her words.
The three objects that had been brought into this room earlier were three grand pianos.
A red, black, and white piano made by different artisans had been the reason for the old lady’s arrival at this estate today.
She was here not only to let the Young Miss pick one of the three pianos which would suit her the best but she was also here to become her Piano tutor once their initial transaction was completed.
Therefore, for the sake of her family’s piano business and to clinch the role of this Young Miss’s piano instructor, she softened her gaze so that she might achieve everything she had planned for this meeting.
The little girl with fluffy brown hair was least bothered about her reasons for being here as her attention was only on the bright red piano.
Just looking at it was invoking her desire to learn how to play it.
Hence she had already made up her mind before even bothering to test them out first.
“Mother, can I have that one?” She fluttered her lashes towards the Madame before pointing at the piano that had won her heart at first glance.
