The refreshing cool breeze was particularly cool on people's bodies. Standing in the huge, bright and spacious room, William showed some kind of nostalgic expression on his face.
After enjoying lunch, William invited Erica, a beautiful girl from Milan, to visit the library of Milan with him.
The Central Library of Milan is the largest library in Milan and houses the Central Municipal Library, dating back to the first half of the 17th century.
It was built by the will of Cardinal Cesaremonti and the intervention of Francesco Maria Riccini.
Milan represented a metropolis in northern Italy and was the center of various fields such as culture, economy, fashion, and sports. It was widely known to the world. Historically, the Principality of Milan was a rich and powerful principality. According to Erica, she was in The Browntree family was the aristocracy of the former Duchy of Milan.
Milan is the capital of the Lombardy region of Italy. Whether it is Pisa, Florence or Milan, the origin of its country comes from the original Lombardy canonization.
In the reading room of the library, a familiar-looking girl was standing there. Her beautiful long straight silver hair is draped behind her back, and a blue sweater with black lace outlines her slender figure.
The delicate face of a doll is like a moon spirit descending into the world, shining with pure light.
Although she is innocent at her age, the girl always has a serious expression. Not only does that expression not ruin her beauty, but it actually makes people feel a little fonder.
It was the same level of beauty as Erica but in a different style. If Erica stood with her, it would be the beauty of the sun and the moon.
"Gui'an, Lily. Are we really connected by the bonds of fate?"
"Please don't use such an overly intimate term of endearment to me. Moreover, it is not a coincidence that we meet here, but a necessity that has been agreed upon long ago."
Liliana put down the book in her hand, looked at William who was accompanying Erica, showed a panicked expression, and said, "Sorry, I didn't pay you a visit right away. Please forgive me, King!"
Liliana said sorry, but she was muttering in her heart, when did William and Erica's relationship become so good.
William shook his head with a smile on his face, signaling Liliana not to mind. He looked at the book she placed on the table and asked, "What are you reading?"
"It's Shakespeare's The Tempest!" Liliana replied with a blush.
"Oh, I've heard of Shakespeare's name. It seems to be a character that appears in textbooks. Can you show it to me?"
After William finished speaking, he reached for the book on the desk. Liliana's face turned red, but she just pursed her lips and her body was stiff and did not move. Erica had a fox-like smile on her face, as if she had seen through something.
Erica has known Liliana for ten years, and she asked herself that she knew her old friend quite well. She has a majestic personality, flawless appearance, and intelligence. Although she lacks the ambition to become a lady, she will definitely become a good knight. A good wife, a good mother, but now she blushes simply because of the other person's every move, and becomes shy and stiff because the other person indirectly comes into contact with her book. It seems that she is really obsessed with the other person, so Liliana seems to be She will not become a palace flower like a salon hostess.
William looked through the books with a focused expression. Although he was a prince, he rarely had the opportunity to read. This was also related to William's family background.
Although they are from a Duke's family, their ancestors were aggressive Vikings and their national characteristics favored force rather than culture and knowledge. This tradition was mostly followed in the training of princes.
Although William's own educational courses are fully arranged, including courses in astronomy, history, geography, etc., courses such as equestrian, swordsmanship, and archery have long occupied most of his time. As my uncle said, to learn culture, it is enough to be able to read and write. Even if you cannot read and write, it does not matter if you are illiterate. As long as the ministers and secretaries around you can read and write, it is enough.
As a king and a monarch, rich knowledge and talents are what a scholar should possess, not a necessity for a monarch.
The Norman palace library collected literature, art, philosophy, law and various historical treatises. It was a huge library that preserved many masterpieces from the ancient Greek and Roman eras. However, this did not mean that the dukes of all generations were diligent and studious. , this is just pure possessiveness.
The tireless collection of rare books is just because books have value, and it is the same nature as collecting precious weapons, armor and treasures.
When William was young, he didn't have time to read the books in the library. When he grew up, his father passed away and his uncle refused to let him enter the library. Even Dr. Andersen was ostracized because of this and came to Avalon to accept the lake. Although he was educated by the fairy Vivian, he was still a dabbler in culture.
Although it may sound disrespectful to his adoptive mother, William found that Vivian, the fairy in the lake, seemed to be illiterate.
Her education for William was more of an education through words and deeds. Even if she tried to find ways to let her sister provide cultural teaching on her behalf, it was revealed that she might not be good at reading and writing.
William flipped through the book with gusto. "The Tempest" is a historical legendary work by the great British writer Shakespeare. Because of its excellent writing style and beautiful and gorgeous words, he felt that the writing was brilliant and pleasing to the eye before he even touched on the plot, so he was immersed in the book for a while. The world directly ignored the two girls.
Erica shook her head helplessly. She knew that William, as a visitor from another world, lacked corresponding common sense, culture and knowledge about this world. In the past few days, she not only entrusted herself to help him collect school textbooks, but also watched Once you are addicted to the videos on the education channel, you won’t stop until you finish watching them.
Erica is not dissatisfied with this, only happy, which shows that William is actively accepting the culture of his country.
You must know that cross-border marriages are very difficult because they live in different countries, receive different educations, and have different values. If both parties cannot respect and accommodate each other's country's culture and values, and be tolerant, then the marriage will be very difficult. , or even break up because of this, so William is willing to understand the world through Italian textbooks, books, and TV, which will be very beneficial to the future relationship between the two.
Time passed by minute by second. Erica sat next to William and picked up a book to kill the boring time. Liliana couldn't sit still. She said dissatisfiedly, "How long do you have to wait? "
Some people died, but not completely...
