Chapter 13 Chapter Twelve

She caused three wars within the first week. Jamie's original intention is very noble and honest. She has decided to accept the fact that she is married to a highland lord, and she will try her best to be Ariel's wife. No matter how difficult the adaptation process is, she will not flinch.She also believed that in time, she could even civilize these highland savages. Three successive wars had befallen her inexplicably, and Jamie was convinced that it was not her fault, but those stubborn, ridiculously proud Scottish Highlanders, and their equally ridiculous customs.It was true that she had done nothing wrong, and there was nothing she could do about their unreasonableness.

After treating Gus, Jamie slept until noon the next day, and she wanted to sleep longer, until she remembered that it was Sunday and she had missed mass.Jamie was immediately annoyed that Ariel didn't wake her up.Well now, she must buy pardons for a shilling. She put on a long milky yellow dress and tied a silver belt slantly, went to the hall to visit Gus's injury, and found that the priest was also taking care of Gus in the hall. Gus seemed to be sleeping so peacefully that the priest stood up when he saw her.Please sit down, Father. Jamie smiled. We haven't been formally introduced yet, Mrs. Kim.said the priest.I am Father Mu.

Without his orthographic cough, Jamie thought he sounded so strange, she almost wanted to add one or two coughs for him. Is your chest no longer hurting?priest.she asked. It's better, said the priest.I haven't slept so well in a long time, and the potion you gave me is amazing. I also have a kind of ointment that you can rub on your chest, Jie Mi said.It can cure your old coughing problem within a week.But I must first warn you that the medicine has a strange smell, and your friends may avoid you this week. The priest smiled and replied: Thank you for caring so much about me, a bad old man, madam, I don't care about the taste.

How did Gus sleep? He's sleeping well now, but he woke up earlier trying to remove the bandages, and it was all Gavin holding him down.Lisa was so worried that she tried to wake you up, but Gavin ordered her to go back to bed and rest. Jamie frowned, and she looked down to re-examine Gus' injuries, making sure he was in the recovery phase.Her hand felt his forehead temperature.He didn't have a high fever, she said.Your prayers saved him, Father. No, girl, said the priest.You were the one who saved him, God must have decided that Gus should stay with me, and therefore sent you here especially.

His compliment made her blush.Oh, in fact, he sent a sinner.She blurted out that she wanted her punishment to end as soon as possible.I missed the sermon this morning and she slipped a shilling into the priest's hands. This is my pardon. but Wait, Father, I want to explain my reasons before you decide on my punishment.In fact, if Ariel woke me up, I wouldn't miss Mass.she said, folding her hands in her lap, and then her fine brow furrowed. Having said that, it should be Ariel's fault, and I think he should be the one who pays. Father Mu found it very difficult to keep up with the thoughts of the hostess, he felt as if he had just been swept by a whirlwind and it was a sunny whirlwind.Since Lenna's death, the castle has been full of haze, and he believes that Jamie is the one who can blow away the haze.The priest smiled in his heart, yes, he was very sure, and he also saw the way their lord looked at his little wife last night, it was extremely gentle.

priest?Jamie asked.Who do you think the two of us are guilty of? Neither of you is guilty. None of us? Seeing Mrs. Jin's surprised look, the priest couldn't help laughing.You are very religious, aren't you, Mrs. King? Oh, if the priest thinks so, she is more guilty.No, Jamie said hastily.You can't believe that, it's just that the priest in our hometown is very strict, and he punished us very severely. I think it's the boring parish life that made him like this. He once preached in him for my second sister Elle She dozed off from time to time and punished her to cut off her long hair.He always said we are all sinners.

Father Mu frowned. His colleague sounded like a fanatic.You'd better keep your shillings, ma'am, we're loose here, and you needn't worry about your soul. I'd rather you take the shilling, Father.My husband's soul may need a little redemption, after all, he's a lord, and he has to kill in battle.But don't get me wrong, Father, I know Ariel would never take a life without a good reason.I can't claim to know him yet, but I'm pretty sure he's not the type to make trouble for no reason, Father. Ariel just walked into the hall and heard this conversation.

I agree, madam.said the priest.He looked up to see his lord's annoyed expression, and he could barely keep from laughing. ah!That's good, Jie Mi said in relief.I'm glad you agree, I know I shouldn't say this, but I actually hate this constant confession of my soul's sins.Now that I'm married, I also have to take into account my husband's soul, and I believe this work is enough to gray my hair.But I'm sure we can be good friends, Father, but you've got to call me Jamie, don't you think? Jamie, I think you have a tender heart, and your presence brings life to this ancient castle.

Yes, Father, she does have a tender heart, broke in Ariel.And she has to find a way to overcome this shortcoming. Having a tender heart is not a shortcoming. Jamie was very grateful to the priest for the timely addition, because she had just seen her husband and was dumbfounded. Ariel in barbarian clothes! Indeed, he wore a jacket, but outside the jacket was only his cape, which was draped obliquely over his shoulders, tied at the waist with a belt, folded several times, and then dropped to cover his thighs superior.On his feet were well-worn black riding boots, and his knees were completely bare and uncovered.And she just kept staring at his knees.

Ariel felt as if she was going to pass out. He hid his irritation and waited patiently for her to adjust to his costume. Then he asked: How is Gus recovering? Feel sorry?She was still staring at his knee. Gus?Ariel emphasized. Oh yes, Gus.She answered, nodding several times. Seeing that she didn't speak any more, Ariel ordered: When I'm talking to you, look at my face, wife. His stern tone woke Jamie up, and she looked up quickly. Ariel dared to say that the blush on her face was enough to start a fire.How long do you think it will take you to get used to my clothes?he asked, his irritation palpable.

She came back to herself.What are you wearing?she asked. There was a smile on the corner of his lips.Do I have to repeat it every time I talk to you? She shrugged.Do you want to say something?she asked. He decided to embarrass her even more.Wife, you've seen me naked, but now you're acting like She covered her lips with her hand.I feel your nakedness, husband, not see you naked, there is a difference.Suddenly she understood what she said, put down her hand and took a step back.Remember we are in the presence of the priest, pay attention to your manners. He turned his eyes to the sky, and Jamie thought he was praying to the sky for help.All right!Say what you want now!husband. I want to talk to Gus.Ariel replied, looking towards the bed.But Jamie stood in front of him with his hands on his waist. He's asleep, Ariel, you can find him later. Ariel couldn't believe what he heard.wake him up! Your yelling has probably woken him up.she murmured. He took a deep breath.Wake him up, he ordered again, and added in a softer voice: Also, Jamie how? Never again tell me what I can or cannot do. Why? Why?Ariel's expression has become very cold. Why can't I tell you what you can or can't do?Jamie continued to ask. She knew that Ariel didn't like her question. At this moment, his jaw was tense, and a muscle in his cheek twitched.Jamie couldn't help wondering whether her husband had this symptom for a long time, or just recently. Such is the custom here.the priest interrupted. The priest left his chair and came to Mrs. Jin.His worry is justified, he has known Jin Yalie for too long, and he is familiar with the meaning of his expression.He stood in front of Jie Mi, intending to bear her husband's anger on her behalf.Jemi still doesn't know the danger of questioning a powerful lord like Ariel.Ariel, Jamie has only been here for a short time, she didn't provoke you on purpose. Ariel nodded, and Jamie shook his head.I provoked him on purpose, Father.But I didn't mean to be so rude, I just want him to explain why, what I can't tell him, he always tells me like this. She still had the guts to show dissatisfaction.I am your husband, your lord, and wife. Are these two reasons not enough for you? The muscles in his jaw twitched again, and Jamie looked at it fascinatedly, wondering what medicine to use to cure his strange disease.But seeing the way he glared at her, she decided that she didn't have to be so kind. how?Ariel asked, taking a step closer to her menacingly. Jamie didn't take a step back.God!Instead, she took a step closer to him.Ariel froze.His anger could have caused countless big men to run away with their tails between their legs, but this little woman faced him boldly. The priest tried to insert again: Mrs. Jin, you don't want to provoke him, do you? Ariel won't lose his temper with me, Jamie said, looking directly at her husband.Ariel is a very patient person. She had been looking at Ariel, so she didn't see the priest's shocked expression. He promised me, Father, that he would not break his promise. God!How she knew how to piss him off!Ariel couldn't decide whether he wanted to strangle her, or kiss her.Do you want me to regret ever making a promise to you?wife? She shook her head.I'm not, but your attitude does worry me.How are we going to get along if you never try to compromise?Ariel, I am your wife, my status should be ok It can't, said Ariel, his voice as hard as rock.If anyone needs to compromise it will be you, did I make that clear enough? The look on his face warns her that it’s best not to argue with him anymore, but Jae-mi ignores it.A wife can't even give her opinion? She can't, Ariel sighed, and then said: I can see that you don't understand our way here, Jamie, so I forgive your arrogant behavior today, but in the future I'm not arrogant, Jamie retorted.But my poor head is trying to figure out one thing, please tell me, what is my responsibility as a wife?I want to start my responsibilities as quickly as possible. You have no responsibility. She reacted as if he had just slapped her, and she stepped back from him, seeing real anger in her eyes.He didn't know what to do with her at all. She didn't understand that he was caring for her? And her arrogant retort that followed showed that she really didn't get it. Every wife has her responsibilities, even a wife with too many opinions. you don't. Is this Scottish law or yours? Mine, he replied.You have to remove these calluses from your hands first, you are not a slave here. She gasped angrily.Are you implying that I'm a slave in my home in England? you are. I'm not!She almost roared out.I am so insignificant to you that you won't even give me my rightful place in this family? He didn't answer because, frankly, he didn't know how to answer. Gus was awakened by their arguing.They followed up with a quick conversation in Gaelic. Although Gus was injured, it didn't seem to affect him at all. His answer was clear and precise. They went hunting together. Ariel denied it with a smile, and told him to wait until he got better. Ariel turned around and was about to leave the hall, but Jamie called him.Ariel? What's up?He said coldly, turning to face her. In England, a husband gives his wife a kiss every morning.Jamie made up this custom himself, and it is impossible for Ariel to know the truth anyway. We are not in England. It should be so everywhere.she murmured. Every wife here should wear her husband's mantle. Ariel kept his face expressionless.It was not easy to do so, and he could clearly see Jamie's disappointment, she wanted to have physical contact with him.Suddenly Ariel knew how to make Jamie put on his cloak, and he regretted that he hadn't thought of it before.He would use the physical attraction between them to bring her into submission.He figured she'd be wearing his cloak within a week at most if he kept refusing physical contact with her during that time. Ariel, where will my money be safe? There's an iron box on the fireplace behind you, he replied.You can put your shillings there. Can I borrow your money if I need it? up to you.He had already strode away without even looking back. Jamie frowned, annoyed that her husband hadn't even said goodbye to her, and wondered what the hell he was going hunting.He took his greatsword with him before leaving. Do you know where he's going, Father?she asked. Hunting those who hurt Gus, the priest has returned to his old position next to Gus.And when he finds them, those people will be miserable. Jamie knew that the Highlanders took revenge very seriously.She doesn't like it, there's no time for revenge, no time, does she?Yet she also knew that her husband would never agree with her. Jamie sighed.I'll get you some more money, Father.she told the priest.God knows how many pardons that person will need today. Father Mu hid his smile, did Ariel know what a good wife he picked?Sparks will fly from our peaceful mountains hereafter.He said to Gus. indeed.Gus whispered back. Do you hear the way Ariel and his bride shout to each other?If you had opened your eyes just now, you must have seen the sparks. I heard it. What do you think of your savior, Gus? She will drive him crazy. It's time, too. Gus nodded.Yes, Ariel has suffered enough. He didn't know what to do with her, I could tell by the way he looked at her. Does Aleigh give you a penny every time she gets angry? I believe so.Father Mu laughed out loud.Her nesting in our clan will be brilliant and full of laughs, and an old man like me can hardly wait to see it. Jie Mi went back to the hall, gave the priest two coins, and asked him why he was smiling. I was thinking about the changes you had to make after entering our clan.said the priest.I know it won't be easy for you, but you will end up loving this family as much as I do. Father, have you ever considered that you will be changed instead?Jie Mi said, her eyes flashed with a playful light. The priest decided she was joking with him.I am afraid that the goals you have set for yourself are impossible.he laughed. How impossible?she asked.As improbable as me eating a big bear all by myself? Yes, that's impossible. But I can do it.Jamie said calmly and calmly. How to do it?asked the priest in surprise. One bite at a time, Jie Mi replied firmly.I will definitely be able to finish it in the end.
