Chapter 276: Second Choice

Seeing Euphemia appear beside her, Isabel was a little curious and glanced at her sister, "Effie, the weather is great today. But why are you still here? ”

Euphemia glanced at her: "Sister, do you want me to stay with my mother and recite the Rosary (officially known as the Psalm of the Virgin, officially promulgated by the Holy See in the 15th century, and is a prayer for Catholics to worship the Virgin Mary)?" I can recite it when I stay with you. ”

"Our Lady is our good mother. How can children forget their mother's words and deeds? The joy of a mother is the joy of her children; The pain and glory of the mother is the pain and glory of the child. We must do what our mother tells us to do in order to be called good children of Mary. ”

"Giggle...... Isabel, I've never seen you do what Our Lady tells you to do. ”

"It can't be. Effie, you're talking nonsense. ”

Euphemia turned her head and smiled at Sir Augustine and said, "Daddy, do you hear what your sister says in the presence of the Virgin?" She was talking about cow dung. ”

Sir laughed and said, "It's a language that Isabel herself has imagined, and I don't even know the Virgin." ”

Isabel rolled her eyes at Sir and looked at her sister and said, "Well, well, well, I mean, didn't Herbert come to ride with you outside the manor?" ”

"Isabel, do you like Your Highness? So diligently carrying out the duties of the Privy Counsellor of the Duke's Palace? ”

"Please, Effie, Your Highness has paid me an annual honorarium of £180 per year. Do you know what that £180 means? ”

"Well, I know. So, that's why you're performing the duties of a Privy Counsellor? ”

"Well, Effie, tell me what is the reason for being a privy counsellor?" Isabel, who is only a few years older than Yufemia, now resembles a standard high school girl.

"I don't know, how would I know? All I know is that there was chaos in the county in the last few weeks, and my mother and I had to hide in our homes every day. Euphemia spoke as if the chaos had only ended yesterday.

Sir Augustine shook his head amusedly, seeing his two daughters jumping from one topic to another: "All right, children, if you want to go out on horseback, be sure to let Bruce tell me and your mother." Isabel, you must protect your sister. ”

Isabel turned her head to look at her father and just waved her hand, meaning to see her father back. Yuphemia said to her father, "Father, tell my mother that I will finish reciting the 50 verses of the Rosary before dinner." ”

After the head of the family left, the two girls began to act recklessly like minors who had escaped parental supervision. Euphemia, who had already learned the various behaviors and languages of the afterlife with Isabel, put the elbow of her left arm on Isabel's shoulder and whispered, "What were you talking about with Sir just now?" Been talking about it for so long? ”

Isabel glanced at the face of her sister, who was very close to her face, and said with a smile, "We're talking about... Is it possible to put Herbert in the post of Governor of the Security Army? ”

Euphemia's eyes widened in surprise: "What? Why did you and Jazz do this? Wait, what is the position of Governor of the Security Army? How come I've never heard of it? ”

"Effie, don't you think the weather is great today? Let's go horseback riding outside the manor for a while? ”

"Well, well, I haven't been out in a long time anyway. Sister, you know what? The chaos of the last few weeks really scared my mom and me, and she and I thought the thieves were going to break into our estate. ”

Having 20 Scottish Highlanders go where and what they do in the county, Isabel had planned before. Therefore, she had no fear that the highlanders would break into the Asker estate and loot it, harming her family, the estate's tenants, and servants.

Now, she doesn't have to worry about that, unless these 20 Highlanders come back from the dead and become the walking dead. When she thinks of The Walking Dead, she still vividly remembers the plot and characters of this TV series, which has been broadcast for seven seasons and is popular in 18 countries and regions. Even the original manga she watched with relish.

"It's fine, unless these thieves turn into the walking dead."

Euphemia learned another phrase: "Dead man who can walk? What do you mean? ”

Isabel hurriedly said, "It's nothing. Uh, Effie, we're going to the stables to equip the horses now. ”

One or two hours later, Yuphimia, dressed in a leotard, sat on the saddle of the purebred Arabian horse that Isabel had given her, and left the estate's stables with Isabel on their respective horses. When the two of them rode on the only road leading to the outside world of the manor, Yuphimia glanced at the two manor guards who were riding behind her, and said a little nervously, "Sister, you really only plan to take two of your father's guards?" ”

Isabel confidently patted the short sword on her right waist and said with a smile, "Look, I also brought this." ”

"I really ought to let you meet the thieves. When you know how good those thieves are, I want to see if you're still so happy. Euphemia said with a serious expression.

"Effie, believe me, there are no thieves anymore. Didn't Sir tell you that there were a lot of thieves in the county's prisons? Isabel seemed to be happy, but her eyes kept scanning her surroundings.

Seeing that her sister was so nervous, she had no choice but to comfort her and said, "Well, let's go to His Highness's castle, there are many able-bodied men practicing archery there this afternoon." ”

"So you brought me out just to let me see a man?!"

"No, I just want you to look at one person."

Euphemia smiled faintly and didn't speak, and Isabel glanced at her, "Effie, don't you still have a little bit of a liking for Herbert now?" ”

"Well, I don't know, anyway, he doesn't make me feel as annoying as he used to be."

"Good, as long as you don't hate him. Of course, I'm not asking you to be with Herbert. ”

"Sister, I know that you care about me and are still preventing me from going to the convent to become a nun." After Euphemia finished speaking, she whispered again: "Actually, even if I don't like Herbert, I can still marry him." However, I am conditional. ”

Isabel nodded: "I know, after Herbert is officially canonized as a knight." Effie, that's why I'm going to make Herbert Governor of the Security Army. ”

A knowing smile appeared on Yuphimia's face, and she hesitated, "What if someone disagrees?" I mean, maybe Herbert wasn't the best would-be knight in the many guards of His Highness. ”

Isabel nodded: "So, I'm going to have people challenge him until one side defeats the other." ”
