When the eldest son of the Jazz family passed by outside the room, Caroline Swift saw him at a glance. It's just that the eldest son standard-bearer I saw today is completely different from the last time I saw him. His hair and beard were messy, and the nightgown on his body was old, torn, and dirty, and he looked like a wanderer. If she hadn't known that he was Isabel's brother, she might have whipped him twice to get him away from her.

Caroline couldn't help but have some questions in her heart: "How did this army standard-bearer guarding the border become like this?" ”

"No, since he's the standard-bearer, why is he in his parents' manor?"

"Did he run home without permission? It doesn't make sense. The position of standard-bearer is usually carried out by the bravest and battle-tested knights of the army. Moreover, this knight was favored by the commanders of the army. ”

"Army commander? My God, he is Lord Carlisle's standard-bearer. The father was arrested, and Lord Carlisle must have been arrested as well. So, he escaped from the border by himself? ”

Isabel turned her head sideways and looked at Carolyn, who was a little distracted, with a smile on her face: "Cool, you can see it." However, the young eldest son did not seem to be ready to pursue the daughter of a viscount. ”

After the other party's words were finished, Caroline reacted and hurriedly looked at her: "The daughter of the viscount? Are you the daughter of the brother you said was going to pursue a viscount? ”

Euphemia heard the conversation between the two, and smiled as she walked towards them, "Miss, don't you know who my sister is talking about?" ”

"Well, I see, this wicked woman is talking about me, right?!" Now, Caroline is not in the mood to fall in love. The arrest of her father and brother weighed on her heart like two heavy stones, and she almost lost confidence in her future life.

"Evil? Miss, why do you say that about my sister? Euphemia's words were a bit like questioning, and it was clear that she had misunderstood Caroline's meaning.

"I'm sorry, Effie, uh, I learned it from Isabel."

"Oh, what does that mean?"

When the daughters of the two knights got carried away with the daughter of a viscount, they completely left Ernest standing outside the door. Ernest didn't say anything, just turned around in silence, his hands hanging naturally at his sides, and his legs together outside the door.

After the three people in the room talked and laughed for a while, Caroline saw Ernest who only showed 1/3 of his back, and whispered: "Isabel, Effie, why is Sizz's eldest son still outside the door?" ”

Euphemia grinned and said, "Miss, I forgot about him. Come in, Ernest. ”

Ernest turned and stepped into the room with a knight's pace. As she was about to salute the three young ladies, Isabel glanced at his dressing gown and bare feet and said, "Ernest, are you now saluting as a quasi-knight, or are you begging for some food as an outcast?" ”

At this time, Caroline's aristocratic lady's mentality silently changed a little with her father's arrest. She began to care less about her identity and status, and she no longer blindly maintained the arrogance of a noble lady. After glancing at Isabel in silence, he smiled lightly and said, "Ernest Walton, if you really want to salute, change into suitable clothes and freshen up again." ”

Isabel looked at her sideways and muttered to herself, "This Kali, what's wrong today?" She doesn't want to be a noble lady anymore? ”

When Ernest heard Caroline's gentle words, he looked down at himself again, blushed slightly when he raised his head, and said, "Miss Caroline's nobility, politeness, and gentleness have given me the strength to be reborn. ”

After saying that, he quickly saluted the three of them and left the room and walked towards his room. After watching her eldest son leave, Isabel shook her head and said to her sister, "Effie, Miss Caroline is about to find her happiness. ”

Euphemia's mind spun quickly, and then she looked at Caroline and said, "Mademoiselle, you are a very lucky young lady. Happiness on the day of Jesus' resurrection will be a beautiful affair under God's favor. ”

Caroline remembered the scene when her brother Joseph was separated from his wife and eldest son after his arrest, and lowered her head slightly and sighed softly. Isabel knew that she seemed to be remembering something again, and hurriedly said, "Carrie, today is a happy day. Let's go, I'll take you and Effie to see the new rabbit catching game. ”

Without waiting for Caroline to respond, Euphemia was surprised and preemptively said, "New game? Isabel, tell me what the new game is? ”

"How about using my Valkyrie (Valkyrie in Norse mythology) to catch bunnies?"

"Well, no, it's bloody and violent to use Valkyrie to catch bunnies. Moreover, the little rabbit today symbolizes the creator of new life. Do you use your falcon to hunt the creator of new life? This game is not good. ”

After listening intently for a while, Caroline tried to make herself happier, and asked Euphemia with a smile, "Effie, what are you talking about with Isabel?" ”

Euphemia, who was sitting in a circle with the other two, glanced at Isabelle, who was smiling evilly, and explained to Caroline, "She wants to play a game of falconry and rabbit catching rabbits in the way of hunting today." ”

Caroline looked at Isabel with appreciative eyes: "Well, now you even have a falcon?" Tell me, was it given to you by His Royal Highness the Duke? ”

Isabel stood up and shrugged her shoulders, "That's right. Since Effie is against playing the game of hunting bunnies, let's go get some more easter eggs, shall we? ”

When Euphemia and the others stood up and came to the door, Ernest, who was really like a rebirth, appeared in front of the three of them with a new look, and formally saluted the three of them one by one. The smiling Caroline nodded: "Quasi-knight, I accept your courtesy to me at Easter." ”

Then, as if he had not seen his two sisters at all, Ernest accompanied Caroline through the hallway towards the dining room. Euphemia whispered as if she didn't know Ernest, "Isabel, Ernest really wants to pursue Lord Darlington's daughter?" ”

Isabel looked at the backs of the two and thought: "One of these two guys is the standard-bearer of the rebel leader, and the other is the daughter of the rebel leader, and the two rebel nobles are still related by marriage. It is fate that the two of them can come together, and both parties can use their own experiences to enlighten each other. Well, very good. ”

Sideways eyes said to Effie, "What do you think if Caroline could marry Ernest?" ”

"Can the two of them really get married? If you can, it's worth celebrating. ”

"Perhaps, one day they can indeed become husband and wife." Isabel didn't want to talk about the execution of the rebel leader in advance.
