The oil lamps hanging in the upper space of the stables had already been lit by Isabel, and it seemed that she was able to adapt quickly to life at the end of the Middle Ages, where there was no electricity.

Maybe it's not that she adapts very quickly, but the cruel reality forces her to follow the development progress of this society. Even if she were one of the world's top power engineers, she would not have been able to build a power station in 1534 and use an energy source powered by electricity.

At this moment, she used her own methods of working in the Wildcart Ranch to coax the knight's war horse very well-behaved and obedient. I saw her standing in front of the left side of the horse, bending down and lifting the left front leg of the horse with her left hand. Hold the hoof hook with your right hand and quickly and in a straight direction remove any debris such as dirt, grass clippings, wood chips or feces from the horse's hooves.

And so on, while she was cleaning the second horse's hooves, Euphemia walked into the stable alone with an oil lamp. When I entered the stable, I looked back and saw that the stable was full of lights, and said with a smile: "That kid from the Carter family is indeed working harder and harder." ”

Ito Bell heard a voice outside the horse's compartment, poked his head out and said seriously, "Really? The Carter kid wasn't here at all. ”

When Euphemia saw that it was Isabel, she placed the oil lamp she was carrying in the corner beside her. He happily replied, "Sister, let me find you now." ”

Isabel didn't respond, just retracted her head again and continued her work. Euphemia hurried to the cubicle and found her "sister" cleaning the horse's hooves. He stepped forward, stroked the horse's head gently, and said, "How are you, Elijah?" Lo and behold, my sister is cleaning your four feet for you. How does it feel, it's comfortable, right? ”

The horse named Elijah seemed to understand her words, and raised his horse's head and snorted with some excitement. This was a good thing, so that the horse's hoof that Isabel was holding also moved a few times, and Isabel hurriedly said to her, "Effie, stop." ”

Euphemia pursed her lips and snickered, and whispered to the horse, "Elijah, my sister is angry. So, you'd better just don't move. ”

Isabel didn't say anything more, just continued to finish cleaning the horse's hooves. Euphemia let go of her horse's head, walked over to her sister, and said, "I'm sorry, sister. I didn't interrupt your work, did I? ”

"Nope. Only, don't let Elijah mess around. Uh, this horse of Jazz is called Elijah? ”

"Yes, sister."

"I guess the name of the other horse is also from the Bible, right?"

"Yes, the other horse is called Isaiah."

Isabel smiled and said, "The name is good, one name means 'my God is Yahweh' and the other name means 'Yahweh's help,' right?" ”

Euphemia nodded in agreement, "Well, my sister is so smart. As he spoke, he crouched down and looked at each other with his hands on his chin.

"Effie, why didn't you go to dinner, aren't you hungry?" Isabel said, glancing at her.

"Oh, uh, I wonder why you don't eat dinner and work instead." Euphemia replied, observing the horseshoe on the horse's hoof, with considerable interest.

"Well, because the boss has to let me finish my work before I can go to dinner."

The first time she heard a girl say this, Euphemia couldn't help but giggle and said, "Sister, why do you use the word 'boss' to call your father?" “

Isabel glanced back at her and said, "Because your father is a knight, and I am his knightly squire." So, my relationship with your dad is like that of a boss and an assistant. ”

"Assistant? Sister, what does it mean to be an assistant? ”

"Nothing, you don't mind what I'm talking about. Did you know that in God's paradise, I often talk to God in this language about interesting things? ”

"Giggles, sister, when did you become so humorous?"

"Humor? Effie, you don't really think I'm your own sister, do you? ”

At this point, how could Yuphimia, who was like a little adult, not understand what the other party was saying. Euphemia stood up in silence, came to Isabel and said, "Actually, when I first saw you tonight, I did think you were Rosalind. It's only now that I realized that you do have some differences with her. ”

Isabel put down the horse's hoof, which had been cleared, looked at Jazz's little daughter and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't want to hurt your feelings just now. Therefore, I did not directly refuse your kindness and treat me as your biological sister. ”

"I know very well what it means for my sister to go to God's paradise. After all, my sister's funeral was real, and I experienced the pain of losing a loved one firsthand. ”

"Effie, are you feeling a little lighter now?"

"Well, it's a bit of an ease. I prayed to God that my sister would live happily in Paradise. ”

When Isabel began to clean the last of the horses' hooves, she smiled and said, "Effie, now you can go to dinner, right?" Trust me, if you don't go, your brother Alver will eat all the delicious food. ”

Yufemia's expression returned to her innocent girlish state, and she smiled and tilted her little head and said, "Sister, do you want to see me drooling?" Giggle, I won't let you see it. ”

"Effie, why do you still call me sister? By the way, my name is Isabel Walton, even though my last name is exactly the same as your family name. ”

"It's okay, I can treat you as a new sister that God has given me."

"Well, if you still insist on thinking so."

Isabel guessed right, Sir Augustine's dinner was nearing its end. According to the various accounts of the youngest son Alfred, the butler, the servant, and the valet, the youngest daughter of the knights, Euphemia, did stay in the stables and did not return to the dining-room for dinner.

This small event was almost fresher to the Augustines than His Royal Highness the Duke's visit to their house for rest, play, or dinner during the hunting season. Antonia tried to control her emotions at this time, and said to her husband, "Austen, I'm going to ask that girl to come and see me right now." ”

Augustine smiled lightly and said to his wife, "Madam, do you think there is a special attraction in this girl?" She could even make our Effie give up a hearty dinner? ”

Antonia picked up a glass of red wine in front of her, took a sip, and said, "I think, so to speak." ”

Alfred, the youngest son sitting next to his mother, whispered, "Mom, I think this sister is more like a sister than my sister, can you let her play with me all the time?" ”
