"Please, Mr. Carr, please come with me to another room and sit down!"

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, Loriss gently raised her naked white arm from the wide open sleeve, stretched out her hand to Carl, and said elegantly: "Weapons, armor, and the heads of prey are medals for you men to show off their bravery! Sunshine, dance, and afternoon tea are the places that our women love!"

"Of course, this is also another battlefield that our men love!"

Carl naturally took Mrs. Loris's hand, as calmly as he held little Lucy's hand, and took Mrs. Loris's arm very gentlemanly and walked to another living room next to it.

The two were very close to each other, and Lady Loris's tulle dress constantly exuded a fresh and intoxicating fragrance. Smelling this faint fragrance, Carl couldn't help but feel a little ape, and couldn't help but guess how fair and delicate this jade body wrapped in soft yarn was, how plump and soft, and how warm......

The hall was connected to a small collection room, and Madame Loris led Karl into a room where she saw a variety of strange collections, some of which were delicate jewelry from the Elven capital, some of which were precious antiques from the era of the Ancient Lotta Empire, but more were crafts created by contemporary artists. Although there are many of these things, they are placed very appropriately, and the clever combination of height and sparse space creates a unique atmosphere that makes this room a unique work of art.

Karl noticed the paintings hanging on the walls of the room, in which one was a beautiful woman sitting on a green lawn, looking serenely at a little girl fluttering butterflies in a tuft. The author of the oil painting is undoubtedly a master of the use of color and line, in the background full of warm colors, with soft brushwork, the quiet of the afternoon rest, the invisible warm atmosphere between the kind mother and the lively little girl, appropriately expressed. Moreover, if you look closely, you can also find that whether it is the beautiful woman or the lively little girl, there is a faint resemblance to Mrs. Loris.

In addition, there is another oil painting that stands out in a busy dock, a huge merchant ship approaching the harbor, and on the deck of the bow stands four or five young men standing and watching. This work is very wonderful, the painter with unparalleled insight and skill, accurately grasped the moment when the big ship entered the port, each young man's different expressions and expressions, lifelike, vivid, has made people not only look at the painting, but really witness that moment.

But the reason why Carl lingered a few more times on this painting was that he vaguely felt that the figure of one of the young men looked faintly familiar.

"Guess who's that portrait?"

As if noticing Carl's gaze, Mrs. Loriss smiled and said deliberately like a naughty little girl: "As a small game, if you guess right, I'll give you some small rewards, if you guess wrong, I'll give you a small punishment!"

Looking at the face faintly similar to that of Lady Loris, Carl couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Eh, it should be you and Miss Heidi, right?"

"No!"

A sly smile appeared on Lady Loris's face and she said, "This is my portrait and my mother's portrait. ”

Karl shrugged his shoulders slightly, and admitted defeat very chicly.

After Mrs. Loriss smiled, she looked at the oil painting, and her eyes gradually softened: "This is a gift from my father when I was seven years old!"

"My father was not a knight, he was neither brave nor brave, even a little timid and cowardly, afraid of conflict, but he was a brilliant painter, a poet who could play and sing his own tunes, a not so good playwright......"

"He is not a great heir, because my grandfather was not a knight, and I am not a knight, according to the knightly inheritance law, our family's knightly domain will be deprived in this generation, and the fruits of six generations of hard work will be completely disappeared in his generation......"

"But I still love him, and he loves us, and he may not be a good heir, but he is a good husband and father......"

Carl listened quietly, Lady Loris's story was very ordinary and typical, almost a microcosm of this era. She was born in a wealthy knight family, but the family has not had a knight bloodline awakened for three consecutive generations, and in her generation, there are only her and a younger brother, but after her brother learned those adventure stories in which the protagonist joined the mercenary expedition and once again explored the ruins, the whole family completely lost hope.

The mother, who was already seriously ill, became sad because of her heart, and the father, who had lost his son and wife one after another, spent his days drinking to kill his sorrows, and the burden of the family suddenly fell on the young lady Lady Loris. Although the story of the future is not detailed, as long as you think about how a girl without any power not only kept the family's title inheritance under all kinds of greedy and covetous eyes, but also further possessed the title of countess, the hardships and difficulties can be imagined.

"Okay, you've heard so many stories from me, it's time to tell you about it!"

Lady Loris, detached from the memories of the past, suddenly smiled, and said, "Let me also hear your story, how did you spend your time as a child, and what about your mother?

"My story?"

Karl was stunned, and suddenly a little dazed. Whose past should he recall, his own boyhood on Earth, or the past of a teenager named Carl?

The memories left behind by the original body are not very clear, but the childhood is the most impressive. He is an illegitimate child, he has not seen his father since he was a child, although he has not been reduced to the point of being equal to the son of a servant, but it is inevitable to suffer from the rejection and strange eyes of those around him, but he has a great mother who has always protected him very well. Under the protection of his mother's wings, for more than ten years, he was actually reading and studying calmly, and did not experience any storms, only after the death of his mother, who sheltered him, he was suddenly kicked out of the house.

"So, when you were in your hometown before, did you have a girl you liked?"

Seeing that Karl was silent, Lady Loris smiled slightly and changed the subject without a trace.

"No, no!"

Carlton habitually denied that the original body was protected by his mother like a nurse, how could he have a chance to know any sister - uh, it seems that there is also a car, Carl recalled it seriously, and it seems that the original body also has a sister or sister who is secretly longing for it.

"Don't tell me you didn't like girls when you were young!"

Mrs. Loris smiled playfully and said, "I won't believe it!"

As she spoke, Mrs. Loris pointed to the oil painting with the contents of the merchant ships entering the port, and said with a smile: "I can tell you a little secret first, when I was young, I also liked a special boy!"

"Speaking of which, he's a little bit similar to you!"
