Red pupils Chapter 33: Iceberg
Next, let's talk about Alfred's hardcore supporter Casper.
From the first sight of Priscilla, Casper fell in love with her. Such an old-fashioned plot only appeared in shoddy knight novels, but I didn't expect it to happen.
Casper Williams, son of Marquis Quint, the Minister of Finance of the Oxkin Empire. He thought he was handsome and elegant, and wandered around the flowers and leaves without touching his body. In fact, it was not the case at all.
At Bromin Academy, Casper has a nickname called "Sluttyman". It is said that as long as the woman he likes, he will fall into his claws without exception, and fall into his body and mind. When he gets tired of playing, he kicks it away, just like throwing a broken shoe.
But in my opinion, Casper did this half out of vanity and half as intentional. There have been rumors in the noble circle of the Oxkin imperial capital that Marquis Quint sacrificed his son's appearance in order to win over Prince Alfred. Although there is no basis for this, Casper would rather bear the reputation of a slutty son than to put out those ill-intentioned slander.
The secret to the game flowers is not to be moved, but he has real feelings for Priscilla.
Casper once declared proudly: "I know that she is an iceberg beauty who has always kept people from thousands of miles away, but I have the confidence to melt the iceberg and win her heart."
In the pursuit of Priscilla, it is not appropriate to describe Casper as "the short man of language, the giant action of the language". He completely lost his usual elegance, like a young man who had just started to fall in love, timid and worried about gains and losses. I can't imagine that Casper's changes were so great that it even makes people doubt that his previous "fame" and "record" were completely boasted.
Alfred's comment on him was that once a person like Casper became serious, it would be like an old house on fire and would not stop without burning it all.
Objectively, Casper also has great obstacles to pursuing Priscilla.
Priscilla is the jewel of Duke Isaac's hand, the only legal heir to Bromine Island, and her marriage is related to the rule of the third largest island in Flynn. As the son of the Oxkin Empire's Chancellor of the Finance Minister, Casper is impossible to gain the support of King Siman of Flynn and other great nobles, unless Priscilla is willing to condescend to be his mistress, give up the right to inheritance, and elope with him regardless of everything.
Although there are similar precedents in the history of the Saro Continent, Casper also knew that this possibility was extremely slim. This was a secret pain in his heart. He buried his head in the sand like an ostrich, and he couldn't think of it, let alone face it bravely.
The more she doesn't take her seriously, the more she cares about you. Casper doesn't understand this at all, and his passionate pursuit of Priscilla was doomed to fail from the beginning.
It was a slap of silence. The prologue took place on the afternoon of the next day of the fog moon. Caspar was kicked out of class by Zerney. Then he asked his follower Adrian to pursue his maid, Winnie. Priscilla wanted to invite him to the town of Black Pine with ulterior motives. In the end, Caspar leaked the inside story under Priscilla's temptation and lost Alfred's trust.
Priscira was not simple. She received the teachings of Duke Isaac since she was a child. She was scheming and skillful, although she was a little immature. Compared to her, Casper could be described as "simplicity".
