As if seeing Karl's surprise, the beautiful lady smiled lightly: "In the monastery of Saint-Sulamère, how to bandage wounds and deal with injuries is also an important lesson, as important as maintaining a body shape and raising children!"

Carleton suddenly remembered that the monasteries of this world were responsible for the education of the nobility and the charity of the commoners, and there was a part of the meaning of universities and the Red Cross, where girls not only learned aristocratic knowledge and etiquette, but also how to maintain health, please their husbands, and have children.

Because early nobles and knights had to participate in battles personally, and it was common for them to be injured in battle, how to care for and deal with the injuries of their husbands, brothers, or sons became a basic skill that a noble lady and young lady had to master.

Although the nobles no longer need to fight in battle, even if they are injured or sick, they do not need to be taken care of by the lady herself, but this lesson in this monastery has been preserved as a traditional custom.

"It's rude to turn down a lady's invitation!"

Seeing that Karl seemed to be hesitant, the beautiful lady smiled and said, "If you are going to the abbey of Saint-Sulamile, please let me give you a ride!

What could Carl say about such a sincere invitation from such a beautiful and charming lady?

Little Lucy breathed a sigh of relief, and said very happily: "Great, thank you, beautiful lady, you are a kind person." Mr. Karl was on his way to the Monastery of Sulamil. We just missed the post station and were in a hurry to get there, so we almost crashed into your carriage. ”

The beautiful lady turned up the corners of her mouth, her eyes were bright, and she showed a charming smile, and said, "Very beautiful little girl, you can come up too!"

"No, no need!"

Little Lucy hurriedly shook her hand and said, "I still have to help Uncle John, thank you, madam, you can just send Mr. Karl!"

After saying that, little Lucy carefully helped Carl into the car, waved goodbye, and then turned around and ran briskly like the wind.

It was an elegantly decorated aristocratic private carriage, the paint of the carriage was remarkable, and the lanterns and handrails were wiped clean. On both sides of the carriage there are small windows with transparent glass windows and curtains made of precious silk.

When Carl got into the car, he noticed that in the inconspicuous position of the door, there was a small mermaid badge, indicating the identity of the hostess of the carriage - it was clear that the carriage could be marked with a mermaid badge, and this lady belonged to the Robeck family, which belonged to the mayor.

When Karl opened the door, he was surprised to find that the carriage was much more spacious than he had expected, with a thick cashmere carpet on the floor and enamel gold-clad reliefs on the dark blue pine walls—all depicting the Dionysian feast, the gods drinking in the palace on Mount Osiris, and the goddesses of the water and the mountains dancing during the festivities.

At the end of the carriage, on the backrest seat covered with soft animal fur cushions, sat the beautiful lady in a long black gauze dress, and a young lady who looked about the same age as Lucy.

It was a mermaid-like girl, with long hair that looked like the softest silk, and shimmered in the sunlight that slanted through the window.

The breeze blowing in from the window was like the gentle lapping of the sea on the reef, and the moonlight gently shone on the beach, gently caressing her hair.

Her skin is as white as the most mellow milk, her rosy lips are as delicate as roses, and her blue eyes seem to concentrate all the aura of the sea, bringing people a beauty that does not belong to the ordinary, and people can't help but indulge in it.

Almost subconsciously, Carl thought he had seen a mermaid, with silky hair falling down, not long, straight, tight legs, but a dreamlike golden fishtail.

However, this hallucinatory vision only appeared for a moment, and everything returned to normal.

Carl took another look, and saw only a pair of beautiful legs curled up on the calfskin-backed seat, and it was only because of the tight high stockings and golden lace skirt that he had the illusion of seeing a mermaid's tail.

The girl, as if frightened by Karl's reckless eyes, curled up and hid behind the beautiful lady, revealing only half of her head, and looked at Karl timidly.

"Mr. Karl, it is very rude to look at a young girl so abruptly!"

The beautiful lady gently patted the girl's hand to soothe the frightened girl, and looked at Carl reproachfully.

"I'm sorry, I was rude!"

Carl hurriedly apologized and explained: "This girl is so beautiful, just as perfect as the legendary mermaid, it reminds me of a mermaid story I once heard!"

"Mermaids?"

The beautiful lady couldn't help but be slightly surprised, she subconsciously glanced at the girl next to her, and then at Carl seriously, and suddenly smiled: "It turns out that you have seen it, but please be sure to keep it secret and don't say it." ”

"Although my little Heidi has awakened the mermaid blood of the Robeck family, she is still too young, and I don't want her to be harassed by those with ulterior motives at such a young age!"

The beautiful lady gently stroked the girl's silky long hair, and like all mothers in the world, she was full of doting and care for her daughter.

"Marrying too early and being chased by wild bees and butterflies is not a good thing for a girl, as a mother, I want my daughter to have a more peaceful and happy life!"

The beautiful lady looked at Karl with a smile and said in a calm and gentle tone: "Mr. Karl, you are a profound scholar, a wise man, and must be able to understand the love of a poor mother for her daughter!"

Inexplicably, Carl felt that this lady had subtly misunderstood something, but looking at the beautiful lady's polite smile, he was keenly aware of the coldness behind the charming smile, and instantly understood that he seemed to know too much, and if he continued to talk about it, it felt like the rhythm of being killed by someone's backhand!

"What are you talking about, ma'am?" I don't understand!"

Although he was drumming in his heart, he was worried that the lady would turn around and call the coachman to kill him in the next moment, but Carl still pretended to be confused on the surface: "I just think your daughter is so beautiful, she makes me fall in love and fascinate at once, if you think I am too abrupt, I want to apologize to you, apologize to your daughter." ”

At this time, decisiveness cannot be explained, and any explanation is not as effective as pretending to be confused.

Sure enough, seeing that Carl correctly understood what she meant, the beautiful lady couldn't help but cover her mouth lightly, revealing a provocative smile: "Since Mr. Carl thinks my little Heidi is very beautiful and makes you fall in love with it, then who is more beautiful in your eyes?"
