The resplendent bathroom made Etina feel the gap between the nobles and the commoners once again."
What is this...Is the mermaid statue made of pure gold just an outlet?
The bone china bathtub is also inlaid with precious stones.It's an exaggeration... ”Atina thought to herself.In the old days, bathing once a week was a luxury, and most of them were just boiling a plate of water to wipe their bodies.The spacious bathtub in front of him can seat three people, and the hot water is slowly released from the treasure bottle in the hand of the mermaid statue.The maid stripped Atina of her temporary servant's clothes, revealing her scarred garment.When the two maids saw this, they felt frightened, what had happened to this girl?
But their professionalism did not allow them to talk too much, so they continued to remain silent as if they did not see the tragic situation.The tub was sprinkled with fresh rose petals and a bucket of milk was poured into it, and Atina gasped for the luxury.Atina first tested the temperature in the bathtub with her feet, and found that the temperature was just right, which was obviously also arranged for a long time.Two maids stepped forward to take a sponge and gently wiped Atina's body, and Atina was a little unaccustomed to being served, so she said, "Either I'll come by myself, two sisters." ”"Miss Etina, this is our job, please don't embarrass us."
The two maids said humbly."
Okay.I would like to ask, what kind of person is the Marquis of Hohen?
”Atina asked tentatively."
Lord Marquis is a strong swordsman, and he is friendly to people on weekdays, but...Now celibate. ”One of the younger maids said.Another maid glared at her and scolded, "What kind of tongue are you chewing on mere servant?"
”The young maid stuck out her tongue mischievously, and Atina continued, "It has nothing to do with her, I just want to know, and I won't talk nonsense." ”The older maid was silent, and let the young maid who had not yet entered the world speak."
The Marquis cherished his beard, and many ladies praised him for his beautiful blue beard.Also, the Marquis likes to read, and has been reading Dante's poems lately, which seems to be called the Divine Comedy?
”Atina listened quietly, and the little maid, who liked to discuss gossip, at once told some trivial things about the marquis like pouring beans, but one of the sentences caught Atina's attention."
I heard that the Marquis had five ladies in the past, but the five ladies disappeared later."
The attentive Atina noticed that there seemed to be some secret hidden in this sentence, but the older maid was not good at asking too much, so she could only take this sentence to heart.After bathing, the two maids dressed Atina in a gorgeous red dress with eleven elaborate processes.The bright red skirt makes Atinna's skin fairer, the waist seal highlights the beauty of the lines, and the hair is coiled up, and a delicately carved and jade hollow hairpin is inserted.Seeing herself in the mirror, Atina thought to herself, "If only Silas could see me like this, I wonder if he's better now?"
”"Miss Atina, dinner is ready, please dine in the banquet hall."
The maid's voice interrupted Atina's thoughts.—————— Silas recovered a lot from the potion, and he could clearly feel a warm current flowing through his body, repairing the parts he had been injured by the thugs.I don't know what the potion is made of, except for some fractures that have not been repaired, other internal injuries have gradually returned to normal.The effect of the potion is very obvious, and at the same time, the side effects are very domineering, and the wounded parts of the body will be in excruciating pain during the repair process, but Silas gritted his teeth and survived.After almost recovering, Silas picked up a random hoe brought by the thugs, picked up the wood that was still burning in the campfire, and threw it into the straw pile in the stable.This fire burned not only the corpses of those beasts, but also the immaturity and innocence of Silas.These were all reduced to ashes in the fire, and Silas at this time just wanted to be stronger.With his back to the burning stable, he limped out of the sad place.The red-hot night sky, a sky-high black smoke, accompanied the man's back, reflected into a lonely painting.————— banquet hall, although Atina sat next to the Marquis of Hohen, she did not eat when the food was served.She thought about what had happened today, how she wished it was just a terrible nightmare, but the pain in her body reminded her that nothing was a dream.Thinking about it, Etina's eyes were already filled with mist."
What's the matter, Miss Edina, is this food not to your liking?"
Seeing this, the attentive Marquis of Hohen asked as he cut the roasted medium-rare beef head chops with a knife and fork.Atina shook her head, how could she eat after going through so much unbearable today.The Marquis of Hohen said disappreciatively, "If you don't want to eat, you can eat more or less."
No matter how sad things are, since they have passed, let it pass. ”With that, he placed a small piece from his silver platter in Atinna's plate."
You need to face the future with a smile, you know?
Let's eat, eat, see. ”Atina realized that the Marquis of Hohen was comforting herself, and that it was too much for her master to pick up the steak and put it in her mouth.When I entered it, my eyes widened, and this delicacy was indeed far from what I used to eat in the countryside.Beef is a relatively high-end food, and civilians simply don't have enough wealth to buy a piece of beef to eat, let alone a cow with only one piece of a cow.The upper brain of the cow is the part of the back of the cow's neck, and the fat and thin are staggered to form a beautiful marbling.Under the exquisite cooking skills of the chef at the Marquis's Palace, the grilled meat is tender and tender, and the meat is tender and juicy, and the taste is soft.The right amount of grilling keeps the beef chewy on the outside, but the tender part of the inside melts in your mouth, creating a sharp contrast in the taste.After chewing carefully, the gravy that is locked in the tender meat by the high temperature leaves a fragrant aroma.This steak is not marinated in too much sauce, as that would rob the beef of its original flavor.The chef carefully sprinkled the beef brain chops with powder from Himalayan salt, a specialty of the distant Pakistan.This salt has a unique feature, its color is pleasing pink, so it is also called rose salt.Since the discovery of Alexander the Great's march, it has been used as a royal tribute.Paired with some freshly ground bay leaf powder, it adds a little bit of spicy and bitter flavor to the beef brain steak, which covers the greasy taste of fat and stimulates Etina's appetite."
Maybe the Marquis is right, I should eat some."
Atina thought to herself.After all, Atina was only a girl, and gluttony was normal, so she used an unfamiliar knife and fork to cut it on a silver platter.The Marquis of Hohen opened the girl in front of him and began to eat, and the corners of his mouth curved into a beautiful arc.
