It wasn't until Clifford was five years old that he was sent hostage by his father, and the two of them separated for the first time, and Sophia cried for a long time that day, and then she desperately went to practice the family swordsmanship, thinking that in the future she could rely on her own skills to protect her little master.

Two years earlier, she had been sent by the elder Earl Cleifer to the royal capital of Vienna to serve as the leader of the Shadows, an intelligence organization he had set up here, and it was for this reason that Sophia escaped the rebellion and massacre.

After learning that both her parents and the old count had been killed by the rebels, Sophia felt for the first time what an unforgettable hatred was, and now she had only two purposes left in life - to help Clifford restore her kingdom and take revenge.

When she was in the royal capital of Vienna, she had already quietly observed Cleif, but Cleif's performance before made her very disappointed, he was still the child who had not grown up, timid and afraid, in this case, Sophia did not dare to go to him, let alone hand over the shadow to him, for fear that he would be confused for a while and miss a major event, not only harming the shadow, but also himself.

It wasn't until she heard about Clifford's handling of the house thief that she finally made sure that the little master she had been waiting for had finally grown up and knew that if she survived in this world, she brought the core personnel of the organization to join him and protect him by the way.

Cleford, who was in the room, had no idea about this, and had received news that his clan and his father's cronies had been killed by the rebels, and he thought that these people naturally included his childhood playmate, Sophia, and after laughing with Arya for a while, he said, "Dear Arya, I'm afraid you're going to the market town tomorrow to buy some groceries." As the master here, I must show my concern for the new servant. ”

Arya smiled sweetly, put her arms around Clifford's neck and said, "Okay, my master." I will definitely make them feel the care of the host and will not let the host down. ”

The next day, Arya went to the market town to buy groceries, and of course she took this opportunity to report to the second prince with great diligence about the recent situation of Clifford.

The second prince is a middle-aged man in his thirties, tall, slightly fat, with a very thick beard on his face, quite a heroic taste, after listening to Alya's report, he said in disbelief: "What you said is true?" How could that shit do such a thing? ”

The second prince didn't pay attention to Clifford the waste earl for a long time, and if he didn't have to deal with the eldest prince, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention to Clifford. Hearing Arya's report today, he was surprised and laughed, and said, "It's really interesting, you go back first." I'll invite him to a drinking party in a few days, and I'd like to see what has become of this little piece of waste. ”

Arya wanted to stay here for a moment longer, but seeing that the second prince was not very interested in her, and was even a little impatient, she could only make a curtsy and said, "Yes." Your Royal Highness, the slave and maid have retired. With that, he turned around and left, with a hint of loss in his eyes.

Speaking of Clifford's side, after a series of preparations, the construction of the stables has begun in full swing.

Elkeson divided the stables into four single rooms, two 10 square meters in size for adult horses and two eight square meters in size for young foals.

He gave everyone a general introduction to the process of building the stable, and everyone began to work in full swing, and Clifford was no exception, although he was the master, and he did not have to work at all, but he knew his current situation, and did not dare to put that stinky shelf, so he did it with the others, so as to enhance the relationship between their masters and servants. The first step in building a stable is to lay the stable bed, the high-end stable bed is laid with maple wood, and a layer of wax is added to it, Clifford did not have the financial resources, so he chose the most basic sand stable bed, and personally helped to pick the sand.

"My master. You don't have to do the rough work of picking up soil, just leave it to Elkeson's rough man. When Ahsan saw that Clifford had personally brought the sand over, he said with some reluctance, how could he be allowed to do such a job, no matter how he was also his own master?

"Hi, Yasan. If it weren't for Elkeson, you would have to sleep with these four-legged men every day, and you might have tasted their spices while you slept. "Elkeson is a very talkative person, and his favorite thing to do is to quarrel with people, and when he sees this old guy sarcastically mocking him, how can he give up with him?

His words caused everyone to laugh, after a short time of getting along, Clifford has become familiar with them, and in later generations he was originally an old fritter, known as self-cooked, and he could mix with anyone, let alone his loyal followers.

Elkeson's son Allen is not very old, but he is a little drunkard, he always keeps a wine jug in his hand, he takes a sip when he has nothing to do, and he likes to joke, and smiles at Clifford: "My master." IMHO, you've wronged your horses by using this sand for stables. You should give them maple floors, take good care of their precious hooves, and when it comes time to win next year's race, you might be able to captivate a Viennese princess with your bravery. ”

Collifer knew that he was joking with himself, and he was not angry, but he refused to let him go easily, and smiled: "Alan, what you said is so right. It's just that my horses are ordinary horses, and they can't compare to the good breeds of the princes. But I have an idea for you to marry a Viennese princess, and next month the kingdom's annual marathon will begin, and you may be favored by the princess if you run twenty kilometers on behalf of us at Earl Colliver's Court. I'll give you your name tomorrow. ”

“no，no！” Alan was stunned all of a sudden, he knew that the marathon was the highest standard race in the kingdom, in order to show the glory of the kingdom, no one who participated in the race could abstain, no matter what the situation was, he must run the twenty kilometers, he knew his strength, let him run twenty kilometers, it was better to kill him, and immediately begged for mercy: "Kang busy!" Spare me, my master. I'd like to have a few more drinks with that life. ”

His words caused a lot of laughter from everyone.

The stable bed needs to be tilted too much, but not too much, to a level where the tilt is barely visible, so that the water and urine on it can be collected without discomfort to the horse.

It was a technical job, but fortunately, Elkeson was professional enough and did a pretty good job, and it didn't take long for the perfect stable bed to be made.
