After several days of cleaning and sunshine, the snow in Grey Castle Territory is now only visible in unimportant areas.
Everyone in the territory got back to work, including Ed and his two henchmen.
"Carly, do you know how many times your frog jumped into the water that day?"
"Let me think... is it ninety-seven? Ninety-eight? Or ninety-nine?" Carly tilted her head, seriously trying to remember how many times she had said "frog jumping into the water" that day.
"Master, Carly, could you two please refrain from talking while I'm counting?"
Yes, Adelaide was counting the copper coins to be distributed. But Ed and Carly kept interrupting her, making her count repeatedly.
The two exchanged a glance, and Carly pouted shyly, thinking to herself, "This Lord Ed keeps talking to her, disturbing Sister Adelaide's work, but I can't help but chime in."
"Adelaide, I just wanted to test Carly. She always thought she was a smart kid. I didn't mean to disturb your work."
Adelaide was somewhat skeptical, but she didn't say anything more and continued counting the coins. If she spoke again, they would have to start counting again.
Was Ed doing it on purpose?
He definitely... is
It wasn't...intentional.
Is his explanation credible?
Haha, even he doesn't believe it himself.
He did it on purpose.
Despite the playful banter, Ed was still somewhat shocked by the mountain of money.
He picked up a coin and examined it carefully. I won't go into too much detail about the design on the front, and well, there's not much to say about the back either.
Let's call it the Bronze Dragon Coin! It's simple, easy to remember, and has a high-class feel to it.
Ed threw the bronze dragon coin into the money mountain, put his hands inside, and then lifted them up.
"Ding ding ding"
The sound of the coins falling was very pleasant to hear, and Ed closed his eyes and listened quietly.
"Lord Edd, don't scatter copper coins everywhere. It's not good for you to do that. I'll have to help you pick them up later."
The discordant sound interrupted Ed's enjoyment of the beautiful melody.
"Carly, don't you know that interrupting someone is very impolite?"
Ed was a little annoyed, so he not only interrupted him, but also subtly insulted him.
"Oh, Lord Ed, I know I was wrong. Then please continue throwing money around!"
Carly looked at Ed with a pitiful expression. At worst, she could just pick them up a few more times. It was just that those that had rolled too far away were a bit of a hassle.
Will Ed continue?
Of course not.
He didn't want to keep getting yelled at by Carly, even though Carly didn't understand what she meant.
Ed looked at Carly,
Carly was puzzled by his gaze. Why was Lord Ed looking at me like that? Was what I said wrong? Or was there something on her face? She might not have used the teapot-wiping cloth to wipe her face today.
"Hahaha"
As Carly was thinking, she suddenly laughed. She remembered the day she wiped her sister Adelaide's face, and how she had been startled when she turned around. It was funny to think about now.
It turns out that Lord Edd didn't want her to wipe the left side and then the right side; he actually wanted her not to wipe at all.
"Hahaha"
Carly found it increasingly amusing, and while chuckling to herself, she secretly glanced at Adelaide.
Oh no, my sister Adelaide is looking at me.
She glanced at Ed again, her eyes darting around.
Oh no, Lord Ed is looking at her strangely.
Carly suddenly stopped laughing, believing that her laughter had caused a misunderstanding between her sister Adelaide and Lord Ed. She was just a normal child.
"I'm counting copper coins; a few laughs represent a number."
