Mrs. Carolyn Walton, who had lost her husband, and Madame Euphemia, her husband's sister, looked at each other, and sat down with a smile beside the restless Isabel, each arranging the hem of her floor-length dress. At this time, Isabel's gaze shifted to Mrs. Frederick's eldest son, Charles, and said with a little seriousness, "Charles, that Scottish fragrant cat is kept in captivity in the flower garden, why haven't you found it yet?" ”

Charles and his mother, Mrs. Frederick, complied with their aunt Isabel and moved to Asker Manor late last month. Although he didn't understand why he wanted to move his family to neighboring Richmond County, he was happy. Because Asker Manor is very large, there are also many places where he can play to his heart's content. Not only that, but his father lived alone in the large primeval forest south of the Asker Manor. In addition to not being able to meet his father, he can even have a conversation with his father while keeping a certain distance.

Not long after, his mother sent him to live with him on his grandfather's estate, about 20 miles to the south. Along the way, he noticed that his mother, who was riding beside him, had a very sad expression, and there were tears in his eyes that only his father had when he left. Vaguely sensing that his grandfather or grandmother had returned to God's side, he silently turned his gaze to the other side of the wagon in which he was riding.

It wasn't until he walked into the chapel of his grandfather's estate that he knew who was lying in the coffin in the chapel. Next, he followed his mother and her family in the chapel to confess and pray, and under the leadership of the pastor, he remembered his deceased mother's brother. During this time of heavy heart, his cousin Wolf Walton whispered to him something worth bragging about to everyone: a great nobleman had given an animal from "God's Paradise" to his aunt, Miss Isabel.

At this time, he did not know that his cousin had become the new heir of his grandfather, and he was extremely rude to pester, his cousin, Baron Walton II, to take him to see the animal from the "paradise of God". In fact, his cousin had never seen the strange animal in his grandfather's garden.

One thing is certain, however, that he and his cousin often smell a very distinctive scent on the trunks of trees in the garden and the stone ridges of the stone walls. Not only that, but he and his cousin and their respective valets also had several burrows large enough to accommodate a hound in the bushes, grasses, tree roots, and stone walls in the flower garden.

A strong curiosity drove him and his cousin to maintain a vigorous energy every day, and every morning as soon as they woke up, they immediately thought of how they would find the animal of God today. Of course, there were things he and his cousin didn't understand at all. Musk cats are solitary by nature and usually only stay diurnal and nocturnal. Because of his alert nature, his sense of hearing and smell is very sensitive, so he is very similar to the cunning and suspicious fox.

Before nightfall, civets mostly hide in their burrows and do not begin to move until dusk. In general, they forage on the edge of forests, near agricultural land and near settlements, and return to their habitat after a few hours. He is also good at climbing trees and swimming. In order to catch snakes, frogs, fish, crabs and other aquatic or amphibian reptiles, they often wade into the water to hunt.

From this point of view, Charles, the son of a knight, and his noble cousin would never have found this divine animal in the daytime. At this moment, he came to the flower garden again, looking at the green of the garden in a daze. Suddenly, I heard my mother's voice coming, "Charles, what are you thinking?" Godmother is talking to you? ”

Charles turned his head abruptly and nodded his head as he looked at his aunt and godmother sitting next to his mother, "I'm sorry, godmother, but I was wondering how I could find that God's animal. ”

The childish voice and childlike words made the three noble women present laugh softly, and Isabel was in a better mood, and when she looked at her sister's eldest son, she said, "Charles, how can you describe that fragrant cat as 'God's animal'?" ”

Charles blinked his beautiful blue eyes and replied, "Well, uh, godmother, my cousin told me that he said that this animal came from God's paradise. ”

"Well, Charles, you have to remember that you must not talk nonsense about matters that you do not know. If someone asks you what kind of animal it is, you can answer that it is a fragrant cat brought back from Scotland. ”

"Yes, godmother."

"So, how are you going to find that fragrant cat?"

Charles then told Isabel what he and his cousin had found and smelled in the garden. "Caves? Leave a scent along the way? Isabel pondered her godson's words, and thought about telling her godson, "Charles, I think this fragrant cat will definitely hide in the cave like a fox and live." Well, only come out in search of food when night comes. ”

"Night? God, how could I not have thought of it? Charles scratched his little head in realization.

"Charles, do you understand what your godmother is saying? You can try to come back in the evening. Euphemia sat on the bench with her back reserved and looked at her eldest son, who was standing beside her.

When the three aristocratic women stopped paying attention to Charles, the conversation turned back to Isabel's marriage. Caroline glanced at Isabel as she handed the glass to her maid, "Sir William did not go to war, that's a fact. However, in this Anglo-Soviet war, many nobles, knights, gentlemen and yoman in the north did not participate. ”

Isabel looked at the lush trees, bushes, and stone walls looming among the bushes in front of her, and said leisurely, "Sir William is Ernest's knightly brother anyway, and he should remember his oath." ”

Euphemia looked at her eldest son, who was playing with the valet, and glanced back at her, "Isabel, I don't know how many times you've been with Sir William. However, I believe in the fact that I see that you don't love him. ”

"yes, how can I marry him if I don't love him?"

"Isabel, do you remember what I said to you? I don't love Charles's father either, but I still live with him to this day. ”

Isabel frowned and snorted softly, "At least, I know that Her Majesty the Queen has found her lover and is ready to marry him." ”

Euphemia shook her head with a toothy smile, "You're quite right. However, you should remember how many marriages Her Majesty had before she found her love. ”
