Aristocrats were very concerned about etiquette, especially table manners.Aitina from the countryside naturally had no relevant etiquette training, but the Marquis of Hohen waved his hand disapprovingly and said, "In the future, you will need to learn these tedious basic etiquette from Abel, and you will use them."
This meal is whatever. ”When Atina heard this, she immediately asked, "I have a question for you about staying, although it is a bit abrupt, but I want to know the answer. ”"Oh?
Go ahead. ”The Marquis of Hohen put down his knife and fork, crossed his legs, rested his right elbow on the support of the chair, and propped his fist on his chin.Leaning back in her chair, her expression of interest as she waited for Atina to ask her question."
I am grateful to the Marquis for taking me in, but I don't understand, am I not here to be a maid?
Why is it not the same as I thought?
”Atina asked, confused.Abel next to him frowned, and was about to interrupt Atinna's question, but was stopped by the Marquis of Hohen with a murderous look.Abel shuddered suddenly, realizing that he had overstepped, so he took two steps back and stood against the wall, no longer doing much.Because Abel was standing on the right side behind Atina, he didn't notice the Marquis of Hohen's eyes."
Well, interesting question, let me answer you this way, I don't care about your past, I don't care about your origins, from this day on, you see yourself as the mistress of this house.By the way, this crème brûlée is delicious, you can try it. ”After speaking, the Marquis of Hohen continued to enjoy the feast in front of him.Atina noticed that the Marquis of Hohen had deliberately diverted the topic, so she did not dare to ask any further questions.The two of them finished their meal and returned to their respective rooms.With the help of the maid, Atina took off her dress, took the healing potion, and lay down on the large bed.As night fell, the silence of a midsummer night was broken by the sound of insects, but unfortunately there was no magical flower juice of the fairy king, no mischievous elf like Parker, and no Silas by Atina's heart.1 After the girl took the decoction, she felt a little sleepy with the crickets outside the window.The girl thought to herself, "It would be nice to go back in time." ”The girl lay on her side on the bed and had fallen asleep slowly, but the pillow had been wet with tears falling from the corners of her eyes, and she had become a painting.———————— room was lit with an oil lamp, and the Marquis of Hohen was in his study holding the Divine Comedy and reading it."
Bind" "Come in." ”The Marquis of Hohen did not look up, but raised his voice.The butler Abel pushed open the door and walked into the study, holding the brewed black tea in his hand."
Just put it on the coffee table."
When Abel heard this, he put the black tea away and stood aside silently.After a moment, "Got something to say?"
”Marquis Hohen asked softly."
Abel doesn't quite understand, why bother so much when you can let that girl be a maid?"
Abel asked, leaning over."
Well, because it's interesting."
The Marquis of Hohen replied, "Don't you think it's interesting to save her from despair and give her hope?"
”"Master, Abel doesn't understand your thoughts.""
When something is more perfect, it suffers more and has more joy.- Dante.You see, Abel, what a beautiful verse, and because she is both perfect and imperfect, isn't it a very happy thing for us to make her perfect?
”The Marquis of Hohen said, pointing to Dante's quotation on the back page of the Divine Comedy.At this time, the lights flickered, and under the reflection of the lights, the Marquis of Hohen actually had no shadow."
Alright, I'm going to rest."
Marquis Hohen said.When Abel heard this, he closed the door and withdrew.———— Silas made himself a simple shoulder sling out of plant vines to stabilize his broken hand, and in order to escape from the frenzied people, he left the village with only a small amount of cash, and he did not have enough money to go to the doctor.Normally, it takes six to eight weeks to recover from a broken bone, but the potion from the previous bottle was not completely depleted.Under the skin, the fracture grows at a slow rate under the residual force.Silas walked towards the populated area, he didn't plan to train himself in the middle of the barren mountains, not to mention that he was still wounded at this time, if a group of wild boars jumped out of the jungle, he would not be a match for the wild boars at this time, let alone the other fierce animals in the jungle.Silas came to a ruined village, and Silas, who had learned to be cautious, did not rush to the village, but hid near the village and carefully observed the behavior of the villagers.He found that the people of the village were simple and did not wreak havoc in the name of witch hunting, as the madmen outside.After observing for a long time, Silas chose to enter the village for a while and leave after his injuries healed.Silas stepped out of the grass, and the village guards saw Silas in tattered clothes and wounded and asked alarmistly, "Who are you?"
”"I'm a merchant, my caravan was sacked by bandits, and I was lucky to escape."
Silas lied in response."
It's a white lie, and I don't want you to know how bad the world is."
He thought.An old man and a little girl happened to pass by the entrance of the village, and the girl saw Selassie's tragic situation and said, "Oh my God, what's wrong with him?"
”"A guy who survived the catastrophe."
The village warden pointed to Sellas with his thumb."
Ahem, sir, I miss me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Silas feigned exhaustion and fell to one knee.Seeing this, the kind little girl stepped forward to support Silas, who was poor in acting, and put his hand on the back of her neck, struggling to prop Silas up.The caretaker saw the little girl's laborious appearance, laughed, and said, "Okay Luoli, let me come." ”With that, he took Silas.Silas has been pretending to be unconscious, and is taken to the home of the little girl Lori to settle down temporarily.Although his eyes were closed, he could hear the little girl Lori boiling water for him, and felt the blood on his body wiped with a hot towel.The old man sat in a rocking chair outside the house and took a nap.The little girl Lori's actions made Silas very ashamed, and she didn't expect to keep this kind-hearted little girl so busy because of her momentary lies."
Ahem."
Silas faked coughing twice and pretended to be awake."
Ah, you're awake, then you can lie down by yourself for a while, I'll go play."
The little girl Lori looked at Silas with cute eyes, quietly put down the towel in her hand, and ran out of the humble guest room with a smoke after finishing speaking.Outside, in the kitchen, a little girl's voice could be heard, humming a song and cooking a bowl of hot soup for the stranger.
