Chapter 206 Franz and his friends [Additional updates for book friends who voted and rewarded]
Vienna, Schönbrunn Palace.
In an open space in the Royal Garden, a group of young people were sitting together.
As the teenagers cheered, Franz lifted a taller boy high above his head and threw him hard.
The tall young man who fell on the soft mat immediately got up and said that he had surrendered. His name was Akadolf von Lebstein, the eldest grandson of Count Korolaf and the future Lebstein. Earl Key.
The twelve-year-old Akadov was taller and stronger than Franz, and he was not the first person to challenge Franz. However, he still did not last long before he was lifted up by Franz.
Due to the lack of entertainment items at that time, pastimes such as horse riding and hunting were obviously not suitable for young people. Instead, a group of teenagers getting together to fight and wrestle became a form of entertainment.
Of course, there are rules for playing rough. No one is allowed to penetrate the eyes, pick the crotch, or use weapons. Traditional nobles believe that this can train boys' courage.
It’s just that Franz’s martial virtue is obviously excessive. Akadov, who lasted the longest in six consecutive battles, only lasted 25 seconds. Even Captain Parrish and his royal guards, who were responsible for safety and protection, felt that surprise.
Although Franz practiced Sanda for a long time before traveling through time, he never forgot to exercise after arriving in this world. But he knew very well that a child could not achieve this level of power. The only explanation was that after traveling through time, he brought more than just memories.
"How about you two, come up two by two." Franz hooked his hand.
Richard Metternich stood up and was about to rush towards Franz, while someone behind him was using his cover to rush towards Franz.
Franz did not panic when faced with attacks from both sides. Instead, he rushed towards Richard. At the moment when the two sides came into contact, he turned around and twisted his back and threw him in one go, using the opponent's momentum to throw him away.
Edward Taffy, who was about to attack from behind, was knocked to the ground by Richard when his vision went dark.
Franz stepped on Richard's chest, and Richard, who was unable to get up, pressed on Taffy's body, making the latter unable to get up.
The female attendants not far away were standing or sitting, and they all exclaimed.
"Is anyone still playing?" Franz asked.
The teenagers sitting around shook their heads.
The young men in front of him are the playmates prepared by Franz II for Franz. They are all queens of famous families, and most of them are the future heirs of their respective families.
The old man's intention was obvious, that is, to give Franz a team of his own.
It's just that this kind of behavior is too childish in Franz's eyes. Of course, he won't blame the old man. After all, there is more than one or two generations between the two.
In addition to Akkadov Lebsteinsky, Richard Metternich, and Edward Taaffe, there are also Cronini Wilburg, Wingless Watson, Luca Ahn Blas.
Among them, Colonini and Wengris are both descendants of military nobles. Luca Ambras' family is very influential in Italy, and his two uncles are both local bishops.
Franz didn't have much interest in this kind of children's game. When he saw everyone shaking their heads, he was ready to return to his seat, ready to let them play freely and send them away after dinner.
However, you never guess what the kids are planning to do.
"Want to play cake fight?"
"Waste of food..."
"How about going boating?"
"Too dangerous.."
"Otherwise, let's compete to see whose nanny is better?"
"Great!"
"Agree!"
"Huh, vulgar!" But Franz didn't stand up to object.
Soon the female attendants from each family were summoned together. When they heard that they were going to play a game, the female attendants all looked frightened. Only Adjani looked at Franz in confusion.
First of all, Franz does not often hang out with these playmates. Secondly, Thalia used to participate in such games. Thirdly, Thalia is one of the few squires who enjoys playing with children. one.
To be honest, this group of kids is pretty awesome. They quickly made a battle list and game rules. They even formulated a reward and punishment mechanism to prevent them from not working hard or having a fake match.
Of course, in order to increase the fun, eggs and tomatoes will not be missing. The teenagers even opened a handicap, gambling can make the game more exciting.
Since there were only thirteen female attendants, three more good-looking maids were added.
The rules are that the winner of the first round can get ten gold coins (50 florins, about half a year's salary of an ordinary soldier.), the winner of the second round can get twenty gold coins, and the winner of the third round can get ten gold coins. The winner can get forty gold coins. In addition to getting one hundred gold coins, the final winner will also receive special rewards.
As for the losers, they will be thrown tomatoes and eggs, but that's not the end of it. The winner will cook those tomatoes and eggs and give them to the loser to eat. There will be subsequent punishments for not finishing the meal.
Adjani quietly sat next to Franz and asked, "Do these children usually play like this?"
Franz nodded.
Adjani was a little surprised. She thought she had seen enough of the world, but she didn't expect that the children of big nobles were so good at playing.
"Can I not participate?" Adjani asked.
"Can I not come next time?" Franz asked.
"." Adjani was speechless. For the first time, she felt that being the crown prince was quite hard.
Soon the game started. Miss Mary and Mrs. Subit came on the stage. Neither of them had ever fought before, and they were both wearing very crappy skirts, and their actions were very funny.
However, these brats had little patience and grabbed the tomatoes and eggs at hand and threw them at the two of them.
You ask whether tomatoes or eggs hurt more when hit. Franz doesn’t know, but he knows that the person being hit will definitely feel pain.
At this time, a tomato hit Mrs. Subitt's face, and Miss Mary took the opportunity to knock it down.
Mrs. Subit wanted to get up, but was held down by Miss Mary. Richard Metternich picked up the whistle in his hand and started counting the seconds.
"10! 9!."
Seeing that his maid was about to win, Akadov immediately picked up tomatoes and attacked Mrs. Subit.
But it was not accurate, and instead hit Miss Mary in the back of the head, causing her to feel dizzy. Mrs. Subit seized the opportunity and in turn pushed Miss Mary to the ground.
As the countdown ended, Akadov threw away the coins in his hand. After losing the game in the first round, he had to take out 40 gold coins as a bonus.
Next came the punishment session. In order not to be squeezed to death, Miss Mary could only untie her waist and eat the food in the bucket in a very embarrassed manner.
However, women during this period generally did not eat much due to the girdle. After eating for a while, she started to vomit.
Akadov picked up his cane and was about to teach her a lesson. The moment the cane fell, Franz caught it.
"That's too much, Akadov."
Akadov was originally very angry after losing money, but when he looked back and saw Franz, he was a little at a loss.
"Franz me."
"Okay, let's change the punishment to carrying a bucket to the civilian area to distribute food." Franz said.
Everyone looked at each other. Some people hated playing with Franz because as long as he was around, they could only follow his rules.
However, most of the children’s family elders would remind them before they came to “play according to Franz’s rules.”
