On December 24, the first sunny day after the snow. At half past five in the evening, in Sinloth's study.

The dark clouds that had been hanging over everyone's heads for days finally lifted, revealing some light. The endless snowflakes finally stopped, bringing a bit of sunshine to this wonderful festival. It's just that just as everyone was cheering and preparing for the festival, Christina stood in Sinloth's study with her head down, not saying a word.

The little girl's eyes were red, and if you looked closely, you could see tears swirling in them. Ellie and Nanoka stood aside, unable to speak.

Sinloth didn't seem to see the worried faces of his two daughters, and still casually looked at the report card in his hand. In the light of the fire, the Earl's fingers were slender and white, radiating a lustrous glow. With a peculiar rhythm of her fingers, she struck the table again and again, but Christina trembled as if she had been stimulated by something.

After a long time, Sinloth finally broke the silence, and the count put away the report card and supported his chin with both hands: "Miss Christina." ”

"Yes, yes"

"If you and I are not wrong in my memory, then this bet, that is, you lost, I am right, right?"

"Yes, yes"

Xinluo could feel the tremor in the girl's words very lightly, and it was undoubtedly a painful thing for a proud person to want her to admit her defeat. But in the same way, Christina's pride does not allow her to deny her failure.

"Come and accept your punishment, then."

Christina's little face flushed, and her breathing became rapid. But no matter how unwilling she was, the daughter of the Habsburgs still squirmed and came to Sinloth's side.

"Dad, it's not good" Nanoka couldn't stand it anymore, anyway, although it was indeed Christina who lost, but this time the situation was really special. For a girl, such a punishment is still a little too shameful, "Uncle Andiel's exam papers are too difficult, and Christina's time to study is short"

"Yes, Dad, just spare Christina this time."

The two daughters were interceding for their friends, and this bet was nothing, but who would have thought that Andiel would have such a difficult problem. The last three questions of the exam will test the spontaneous breaking of symmetry in elemental particles and the gauge field theory between the five elements, which is a very simple question for Andiel, but for children who have just been exposed to magic

It's like asking elementary school students to do advanced math.

"Well, since Nanorka said so, then I'll"

Although Nanoka still scored a dazzling 100 points in the final exam, but other than that, only Shunazel barely passed, and the others were all below 60 points. This is especially true of Christina, who is already uninhabited, even though Sinlos has already canceled the penalty for failing the exam on the grounds that the topic is too difficult. But there's no doubt that Christina has lost her bet with Sinloth.

Not to mention surpassing Honazel to become the second place, if it weren't for the stupid boys who helped her at the bottom, maybe she would have been the last one - Randy and Valudo, the two kids, really don't have the talent of magic, they really can't ask for it.

With Christina's pride, if Sinlos insisted on completing the punishment, the little girl would definitely have some complaints in her heart. But when the Count really let her go gently, the girl was a little unhappy in her heart.

"The Habsburg daughter can afford to lose."

The girl's eyes were teary, she covered her face, trembling and lying on Cinnos's lap. The Count has a faint smell of grass on his body, which smells very good. If it were the usual Christina, she might be addicted to it, but at this moment, the girl is like an ostrich, desperately hiding her head and not saying a word.

"So, I'm going to begin, Miss Christina?"

Christina held her head as if she hadn't heard Cynlos. But the Earl didn't care about this, and in the girl's faint scream, the Earl lifted the Habsburg Lady's skirt, revealing the cute two calves inside. Because of the season, I naturally wear thick winter pants under my skirt, so I don't have to worry about walking*. It's just that at this moment, the two cute little legs are trembling helplessly like the master.

Ellie and Nanorka couldn't bear to look at their friend's tragic situation, and they all covered their eyes and turned their heads.

"Smack!"

Sinloth's right hand slapped Christina's ass, and the sound sounded a little dull because of the pants. It is true that Sinloth did not use much strength, but for the little girl, the mental damage was much higher than the physical damage.

Rosa is indeed not a very competent mother, she has many things to focus on, and has unconsciously neglected her daughter's growth. But no matter what Christina did to do anything lawless, the angry mother never physically punished the bear child.

At most, a few days of confinement.

Not to mention being spanked in front of two friends. The girl's face was already flushed, and her shame was challenged incomparably. Sinloth didn't use much force in the first blow, but the damage in his heart was immeasurable.

"Smack!"

There were two muffled sounds in a row, perhaps because the speed was a little faster than the last time, and this time the force was even lighter than the last time. Christina's eyes were full of moisture, and her face was on fire. If you look closely, you can even see a trace of steam rising from the girl's face. The girl felt like she was about to faint, but at the same time as she was extremely ashamed, a strange feeling began to slowly rise in her heart.

"Bang Bang!"

"Huh"

A gentle triple blow, still a faint force. But starting from the girl's slightly upturned buttocks, a hot current surged up and down her body. Christina couldn't help but let out a scream, the girl was no longer only hot now, just like a magma explosion, the scorching power was rushing and roaring in her body, constantly burning her consciousness.

Through the thick winter clothes, Sinlos didn't notice the girl's abnormal body temperature. The other party's red cheeks were also taken as a sign of shyness, and Christina barely raised her head, as if she wanted to say goodbye to the Earl, but what she saw was the raised right hand. The words that had been about to ask for mercy came to an abrupt end, and the girl with a hint of charm watched as the count's hand landed on her ass.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Whew!"

If it was just magma, now it's the asteroid that has fallen to the ground. The slightest pain, accompanied by incomparable pleasure, instantly swept over Christina's body and mind. For girls, this qiē is too early. The girl's innocent spirit obviously couldn't withstand such a strong impact, Christina snorted, her eyes rolled to mosquito coils, and she collapsed weakly on Cynroth's lap.

Sinloth stopped his hand that was about to be raised, his face puzzled. What's the matter, he obviously didn't use his strength, this girl is really proud, just because she was too ashamed, so she fainted?

There is no fear in the heart, so there is no fear. Christina's nature is not bad, but it is precisely because of Rosa's inaction that she has developed her arrogant character. But fortunately, Christina is still young, and she is not as scheming as the Marys in those families. With a little tuning, it should be fine.

No problem, probably.

Madame Rosa's education method has always remained in words, perhaps because she lacks a dignified figure like her father, so the eldest lady is always not afraid of heaven and earth. Well, all Sinloth had to do now was to make her feel intimidated. Let her know that there are some things that cannot be said. She is not the center of this world, and she can't do everything according to her own heart.

And deliberately spanking her in front of Ellie and Nanoka is the first part of the training. As it stands, it's not bad. Xinlos glanced at the little girl behind him who was covering her little buttocks and hiding behind Ellie aggrievedly, and showed a smug smile.

Christina is actually quite cute, too.

After the bad earl bullied the little girl, he felt extremely refreshed all over his body. Some of the original knots in my heart have also dissipated, and my thoughts have become extremely accessible. The Earl, who was in a good mood, did not continue to worry about the little one, but lit candles and led the girls out of the study.

Compared with the desertion and depression in the study, the hall of Desmond Castle is extremely lively. It's not like Christmas Eve, but for young people, what they need is always just an excuse to party. Even Andiel, who had been a mole underground for several months, and his four disciples were among them.

"Here, here you go."

"Take it, don't drop it."

Helmint did not wear his trademark white robe today, and the magician in a thick red and white padded jacket carried a large bag and handed out a small gift to everyone. Although it was not too valuable, everyone was still very happy.

This bastard, let him send year-end gifts, how to dress himself up like Santa Claus - this world does not have Santa Claus for the time being, but it seems that there will be one in the future

"This is for you, Dilumudo."

The tall and thin young man was holding two mops and was diligently mopping the floor. Although today is a holiday like Christmas Eve, it is clear that young people are taking their new jobs seriously and are not slacking off at all. But then Helmint stopped in front of him, and the magician felt through the large bag and found a small hairpin.

"Your luck isn't very good, Dilumudo, but it doesn't matter, you can give it to your loved ones in the future."

The young man named Dilumudo, apparently not very concerned, took Helmint's gift and smiled back at Santa Claus: "Thank you, Mr. Remore. ”

It seemed that the other party liked it quite a bit, and Helmint didn't say much, and after smiling at the cleaner, he walked on to the next person

This one, Dilumudo, seems to be a distant relative of Lin Dengwan. It is said that many years ago, he went to the Holy City to worship, and only returned to Ireland on a merchant ship at the end of this year. It's a pity that what awaits him is not the smiling faces of his parents, but the home that has been burned to the ground.

The Normans did it.

The grief of young people who have lost their loved ones and their homes, and those who know the villagers have long since moved away. Just when he wanted to brave the heavy snow and go to the home of a deceased comrade-in-arms to try his luck, he ran into Lin Dengwan.

So the two returned to Desmond together. Desmond was short of manpower, so Claude left him behind and worked as a janitor. But the young man did look good—at least he never knew how to be lazy.

When spring begins next year, I'll give him the lawn outside the castle as well.

Thinking to herself, Cynroth touched Ellie's head and gestured in the direction where Mariana was sitting. The women and men were apparently divided into two camps, and after Christmas Eve dinner, the two camps divided the hall into two parts, each looking for fun.

Seeing the three little girls sitting in the women's pile, Sinloth came to Lin Dengwan's side and whispered a few words to him. Mariana seemed to be a little different, and she looked up and cast a questioning look at Cynroth.

"Tirbitz must be lonely alone, I'll go see her."

Tirpitz is not human, and he is a little girl, so he poses no threat to her.

As a high-ranking knight, Mariana's instincts had always been accurate, and she instinctively told her that the strange elf named Tirpitz was a serious obstacle to her. But Mariana's rationality told her that although Sinlos seemed to like her, it was just a little girl.

Mariana still chose to believe in Sinloth, and Madame Fandro stroked the bone ring in her hand, deciding not to think about these annoying things.

Christina seemed to have cried once, her eyes as red as rabbits. Marianna didn't know how to comfort her, so she motioned for the three little girls to sit down near the fireplace. The women, on the other hand, continued the conversation just now.

Men have men's pleasures, drinking, gambling, and bragging, and although the knights of Desmond are modest, with the exception of Roland, this is clearly not in the interest of women. The women, led by Mariana, formed a circle around the fireplace.

"Where did we just go? Oh, yes," Xanalot patted her head and reached into her green robe. I don't know how the big witch did it, but under the green robe where she was ordinary and had nowhere to hide, she really found a small bag.

"Speaking of Christmas Eve, it's really still about peeling apples." The ladies had never heard of this custom, but they also knew that Xanarot was a well-informed person, and it was not clear which part of the empire it was really a custom. The ladies were silent, but their eyes were wide open, waiting for Xanalot to continue, "Legend has it that if at midnight she could peel off the whole apple in front of the basin, she would see the reflection of her future partner in the basin.

"This is the golden apple I snatched from that stupid girl in Hestia, no, it was borrowed, because it wasn't ripe, so it didn't work. But if it's just an apple, it doesn't matter, right? ”

The apple in Xanalot's hand is red and full and round in appearance, and it looks very cute. I don't know why Xanalot said that it was not ripe, and as for the name of the golden apple, it was probably just a name. After all, the empire is big, and there are naturally more strange names, which are really not worth paying attention to.

"Wow, it's delicious." Ellie took the apple from Xanalot's hand, and the girl took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and couldn't help but bite into it. The red skin and crisp flesh of the fruit are declaring their deliciousness to people. This apple seems to be really delicious, and Elle has already eaten most of it in three or two bites.

"Golden apples don't eat like this, they will die" When she said this, Ellie had already eaten most of the apples, and the little girl blinked her eyes and looked at her inexplicably, "Okay, forget about you, let's continue." ”

Xanalot stopped talking, but stopped talking about Ellie's question. The green-robed woman jumped up from her seat and scurried into the kitchen. Soon, the witch had already come out with a basin of water in her arms.

Maybe it's the nature of women, or maybe it's just boring. Even if they felt that what Xanalot said was really unreliable, most of the women present still took the apple handed by Xanalot.

It's just that not everyone is interested in it.

Grindelwald's blank eyes looked at the golden apple for a moment, then tossed it into his pocket, and continued to stare at the ceiling. Tirvance touched the surface of the golden apple, as if he had suddenly become interested in the apple in his hand, and the girl mage kept muttering something, and actually began to study the apple. Joachim was intently flipping through a butterfly illustrated book, and after taking the apple, he only subconsciously thanked him, but didn't say much. Kenneth apparently had no interest in Apple and wanted to refuse, but the Great Witch was too enthusiastic. After reluctantly taking the apple, the cleaner happened to pass by her with two mops, and the female mage handed him the apple.

"I don't eat apples."

The cleaner was a little puzzled, but still showed a grateful smile to the girl.

Luciola took the apple, put it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, it was indeed a ripe apple. The smell of apples is mouth-watering. But other than that, there was nothing else, and the magician, who was proficient in magic, didn't see anything unusual in this ordinary apple. If there is anything strange, it is that this apple does not know when it was picked, and it can still remain rosy in the middle of winter. And they weren't eaten by the foodie Xanalot.

However, if it's just a game, it's better to play.

Perhaps because of the expectation in my heart, the original long time is no longer difficult. The women were talking casually, and just as the three little ones were drowsy, the time finally reached midnight.

No matter which woman it is, you want to know in advance who your partner will be. Even if you know it's fake, you will never skimp on an attempt. Even the four disciples of Andiel had little interest in the golden apple, but at midnight they focused their attention on the women holding the apple in one hand and the knife in the other.

At midnight, everything was silent. The rest of the idlers had fallen asleep, and even the male knights who had gathered around them began to talk drunken words. And the most important moment for women has finally arrived.

December 25th, twenty-four o'clock!

I don't know how Xanalot clocked the time, but as the big witch waved her arms, the women subconsciously began to peel the apples. It's just that this apple is obviously not as simple as it seems, and it is clear that Ellie took a bite of it very lightly when she ate it, but when the women began to cut it with the knife in their hands, it was not the case.

Ellie's apple has already been eaten, so she can only look at everyone.

With a snap, the knives of the three servants of Robert and Arian Heard were broken. Luciola cut open the skin of the apple, but no matter how hard she tried, the fragile flesh of the apple seemed to turn into an incomparably hard rock, and it did not move. Looking at the knife in her hand, Luciola sighed and stopped exerting force. And the other girls in Sunday school all failed. Looking at the sad faces of her companions, Xanalot touched her apple and smirked.

A bunch of fools, if the golden apples were so easy to peel, they wouldn't be in the groove!

Just when the witch was giggling, a mutation suddenly appeared. Arian Hurd and Mariana seemed to have no resistance at all, and almost in a matter of moments, they had finished peeling the apple.

And the moment they finished peeling the apples, two identical figures suddenly appeared in the originally calm basin, facing the two of them. In the video, Sinloth is wrapped in a cloak around himself and Tirpitz, and the two of them are pressed tightly together, and the Count is clearly asleep. Tirpitz did not, however, and with her eyes closed, the girl was wrapping her arms around the count's neck, and her lips were pressed tightly together with Sinloth's.

What Xanalot said is true!

Mariana was shocked, she had no time to care about the little fellow who was far away in the harbor. Mariana held the knife in her hand and kicked the basin over the water basin under the regretful gaze of the women. The golden anger quietly ignited.

"Is there anything else you have to say, Miss Alfred?" R1152
