In Euphemia Walton's view, Henry is a mysterious young lord who spends his days in the castle and does not easily step out of the castle gates. More often than not, she just heard something about him from his father's mouth and what his attitude was towards him and the Waltons.

And because of the various festivals or events that make him very happy every year, how much does the father receive when he gives his subordinates weapons, horses, armor, or fine food, etc. As a result, Henry almost became a "symbol" in her mind who only possessed a noble title and a territory.

However, this time Henry's gift to Isabel made her suddenly have an inexplicable feeling. First of all, there are no festivals coming up in the late autumn season right now. Secondly, Isabel Walton stayed here as her father's knightly squire when she came to Asker Manor and Nottingham Castle. In the end, she was just a young woman from the European continent without any aristocratic family background or noble title.

Yufemiaa pondered, and suddenly became intrigued by Isabel's gender. She walked up to the other and admired the other person's face and figure from head to toe by the light of the oil lamp.

At this time, although Isabel couldn't see anything from her expression, her heart was a little anxious. She planned to start maintaining her weapons and armor as soon as she did a quick scrub of her body.

Immediately after doing this, go to the Sizz's study and find some books on hunting, not in Latin. Read these books carefully before going to bed.

When she noticed that Euphemia's gaze was always focused on her body, she smiled softly and said, "Effie, what are you looking at?" Do you think my body is a good fit to be a human specimen? ”

Euphemia looked up at her, blinked and said, "Human specimens? What do you mean? ”

"It's fine. Uh, are you trying to say anything to me? ”

"Oh, yes, don't you think it's weird? Why are you receiving so many gifts today? ”

"Uh, maybe... It's because of the Sunday Mass. ”

"Sunday Mass? Isabel, you are neither a priest presiding over Mass nor a diocesan bishop. I don't think it has anything to do with Sunday Mass. ”

"Effie, can we come back to this later? Now, I'm going to fetch some water and come back to shower. ”

The persistent Yuphimia had no intention of leaving, looked at her and said, "Don't bother so much. Let's go take a bath in the creek. ”

Since Isabel settled in the Aske estate, the bathing habits she had developed in later generations had gradually affected Yuphemia, who was not yet fully developed mentally. Walton. Coupled with the legendary experience of the "father" she concocted to sail around the world, Sir's second daughter almost worshipped and studied her as a perfect lady.

Isabel thought about it and said, "Effie, aren't you worried about the current sunshine problem?" The daylight will last until 12 a.m. This means that the two of us took off all our clothes during the day and went to bathe in the creek!? ”

Euphemia giggled and said, "I didn't expect that a female knight squire wearing cavalry armor and holding a sword would be afraid that others would peek at her body?" ”

"Okay, okay, if you don't mind someone peeking at your body, we'll go take a shower."

"Come on. It's not that I don't mind, it's just that no one in Asker Manor dares to do that. ”

"Good. Now, can we go? ”

"Wait, I'll go and get a maid to come with us. In this way, she can not only carry the clothes for us, but also stand on the shore to protect us at all times. ”

At night in the northern countryside in the late autumn season, it should be a silent scene in the dead of night, where everything is dormant. But now, the color of the sky is as white as spring and summer. At a glance, there were still a few wisps of white clouds hanging in the distant sky.

Isabel, who walks and chats with Euphemia, seems to be still adapting to the "black and white" country life. She told herself over and over again that this kind of ghost weather would not last long, as long as she could survive until April next year, she would be able to say goodbye to the upside-down sunshine.

As she was about to reach the creek southeast of the manor, Isabel said to her chagrin, "Hell, I forgot to bring my sword and spear. ”

Puzzled, Euphemia asked her, "Why did you bring a sword and a spear?" ”

"What if we run into a couple of knights in the shower who are going to take us away?"

"Plundering us? Giggles... Isabel, you're so funny. Do you know? For as long as I can remember, there has never been such a person in the vicinity of Asker Manor. ”

Perhaps it was Ferguson's words that made a deep impression on Isabel, or perhaps it was her being the mastermind and organizer of this public raid that made her so sensitive.

As Euphemia stood on the bank of the creek and began to take off her blouse, Isabel turned her face to look at her carefully and said, "Effie, don't do this, I don't want you to be hurt." ”

Yufemiaa looked up and looked at her and said, "What did you say?" What hurts? ”

"I mean, you're too young for your body to resist the erosion of cold water."

"Really? But I don't feel cold now!? ”

"The temperature under the water is not the same as the temperature on the shore, and you can only experience it when you are in the water."

"Isabel, you know so much. Okay, but next time I'll definitely take a bath in the creek. ”

The frightened maid standing behind the two of them said nervously, "Miss, you must not go to the river to bathe. Otherwise, God will punish you and bring the plague to you. ”

Euphemia frowned and said, "Since she will be infected with the plague, why is my sister fine?" ”

While the two were talking, Isabel took off her clothes and slowly walked into the cold water. Squat down and slowly sit down on the cobblestone riverbed. Gently rubbing the skin on both shoulders with his two hands, he said to Yuphimia, who was standing on the shore, "Effie, let's sit down and talk, okay?" ”

Ignoring the maid, Euphemia sat on the grass on the shore and looked at Isabel in the water and said, "Sister, you seem to be very comfortable, and I want to bathe with you." ”

"Just wait until you're a little older. Or you can practice spear throwing, swordsmanship, archery, and hunting skills every day, as I did, to make your body a little stronger. ”

"But I only like archery and horseback riding, so does that make me stronger?"

"Maybe. By the way, what were you going to ask me before? ”

Yuphimia put her feet in the water and soaked, put her chin in her hands and said, "What I want to know is, why did His Royal Highness the Duke give you these gifts?" ”
