Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen

When Ariel was training a group of new soldiers at the foot of the mountain, he suddenly noticed the commotion of other soldiers.Frankly speaking, his temper was very bad this morning, and the reaction of the blond young soldier in front of him was extremely bad. When he held the knife against the opponent for the third time, he heard the screams of other soldiers : Ariel? Ariel tossed young David aside like a straw and sighed.But without turning his head, he knew that the reason must have something to do with Jie Mi, and only Jie Mi could make his well-trained soldiers lose their composure.

Ariel turned his head slowly, and he thought he was ready for anything, but the sight of his wife galloping down the hill on the bareback wildfire still nearly took his breath out of his chest.Her riding posture is like a noble queen, her long hair is flying, and her smile can be seen from a distance.Ariel didn't dare to call her out, for fear of frightening her and breaking her beautiful but stubborn neck. Wildfire has been running towards their training ground, Gavin and Marco are riding behind Wildfire. Ariel waved his hand arrogantly, motioning for Jamie to come to him.But although he was angry at her interruptions and the way she rode, and determined to save his anger and give her a good lesson, it was difficult to do so because he couldn't help being proud of his wife's riding skills.

And when he saw the small bow and arrow on Jie Mi's back, he almost laughed out loud. Jamie obeyed her husband's order meekly. She didn't even shake the rein in her hand, she clamped the horse's belly with her knees, and the wildfire stopped in front of Ariel.And suddenly, Ariel wanted to feel his between her knees, too. where do you think you are going go hunting. With a bow and arrows? Yes, Jamie replied, understanding the annoyance in her husband's tone.Only complete preparations can be foolproof, she pointed to her bow and arrow and said: I am a good archer. Ariel's expression seemed that he wanted to laugh out loud, but in fact, Jamie could already hear the tittering of the soldiers behind him.

She turned and gave them a sharp look. Are you serious, wife?Ariel murmured.But you can't even hit our stalls, how are you going to hit something that moves? you think so? indeed. You should have a little more faith in your wife.Jie Mi murmured, taking off the bow and arrow behind her back, it's time to let them see her real kung fu.She noticed that there was an archery target on the slope, and the area around the target was filled with fifteen or so arrows.If I can hit the bull's eye, you let me go hunting?she asked. Marco coughed, obviously trying to hide his laughter.Ariel lazily said: I will not let you make a fool of yourself in front of my people.

I won't make a fool of myself, Jie Mi turned to stare at him.And you can save your comment or sneer until after I'm done. Ariel nodded with a smile, and stepped back a few steps. Jie Mi nocked her arrow, and at the same time the soldiers started to back away to find a safe place, obviously they didn't have any confidence in her. With Wildfire's head blocking her view, Jamie sighed, took off her boots, and stood gracefully on her horse like a dancer.She shot her arrow, and Ariel was just at her side.Jamie sat back on Wildfire's back, patted it on the head, applauded it for standing still, and then smiled at Ariel.

why are you so angryJamie asked in surprise, Ariel's face was filled with fury, and his cheek muscles twitched again. You will never be allowed to take such a risk again!Ariel yelled. Jamie was puzzled.what are you saying?What am I risking?Also, don't yell, wildfires will scare you. You almost killed yourself, Ariel murmured, just now when she was standing on the horse, he just felt his heart was going to stop beating.And I thought I was the one who would strangle you first, never to stand on horseback again. But I'm used to it, Aleigh.Sometimes when the mood strikes, I can stand up as wildfires run across level ground.

Oh, my god! It is true, she said.want me to act No! Ariel, I told you not to yell, your yelling will scare the wildfires.She understands it as a matter of course. I'm the one who's been scared to death, wife.Ariel replied.Now, you just promise me. Well, Jamie sighed.I promise you, are you happy now?Now, can I go hunting? Ariel looked at the target.Where is your arrow? In the bullseye!Jie Mi said in dismay. The young soldier who had just been knocked down by Ariel walked up to the target, and then he pulled out Jemi's arrow from the target and shouted cheeringly: it is true!Hit the bullseye!

The soldiers cheered, but Jamie's real concern was her husband's reaction, and Ariel's reaction disappointed her.He just raised an eyebrow. Gavin, send ten more men with you.Ariel yelled at Gavin, who immediately ran off to find someone.Jamie, you forgot one more thing.When Jie Mi was about to turn around, Ariel said. Oh Jae-mi blushed, then she lowered her head and pressed a kiss on his forehead. Ariel sulked.I mean you forgot your saddle!he told her. I don't like that saddle, it's too new to sit on. Marco, find an old saddle for my wife.Why haven't you told me?I thought you were a poor horseman, you could barely sit on the horse on our way back from England.

I didn't say it because I was afraid that you would think I was not a lady. Ariel couldn't help laughing.I will never think you are not a lady.Then he kicked his face and said: Also, Jie Mi, never kiss me like that just now again. Jamie thought he didn't like showing affection in front of his people, and he motioned her forward until their noses almost met, before he whispered: You should kiss me like this. He didn't even give her time to smile, his lips were firmly on hers, it was a horny, passionate kiss, she couldn't react at first, but she opened her lips quickly and let his tongue go straight in .

Jamie didn't hear the other soldiers applauding, but Ariel did, and he backed away reluctantly. Jie Mi still looked confused, and Ariel was very proud of it.Then he suddenly remembered that he was hugging her, and he couldn't even remember when he took her off the horse. They laughed together.You've wasted a lot of my precious time, wife.he said. Jamie laughed, and then she heard the sound of soldiers escorting her running down the hill.She asked her husband: Why do I need so many soldiers to accompany me? They love hunting as much as you do, and he let her go, and a soldier handed him an old pair of saddles, and Ariel saddled Wildfire, and he put her on the horse.Hope you have fun.

I won't be returning empty handed.she said. I know. What Jamie said was true, she knew she would bring Gemarie back.She regretted not being able to tell her husband what she was hunting for, but she believed that Aleigh would accept Mary and be a good father. After they crossed the drawbridge, she asked Marco: which way? west. Jie Mi led the horse forward, and after a while, Marco appeared beside her to rein in the wild fire, and turned the horse's head half a circle. Marco politely refrains from mentioning her poor sense of direction, but Gavin keeps laughing. Ariel kept telling himself not to worry, but after dinner, when his wife still didn't show up, he started pacing in front of the fireplace.Yes, he wasn't worried, he told himself that Marco and Gavin would take good care of her safety.And when the sun had fully set, he found himself telling himself that for the tenth time. But during the period after Jie Mi left, he really did a lot of things.He found Father Mu and asked him about Luna in detail, which surprised the priest.He also visited some of Lenna's cousins, and got a lot of information that surprised him. Ariel continued to pace the hall, chewing on the messages, and then he saw Jamie.She had just returned to the castle and was standing at the top of the steps, waiting for him to notice her. So glad to see her, Ariel frowned at her; Jamie responded with a broad smile. Then Ariel noticed that Jamie's skirt was moving, and saw a small face protruding from the skirt. Jamie took a deep breath, and grabbed Ge Mali's little hand.Go see your father, she whispered to the little girl. Gavin and Marco stood guard on both sides of Jemi, waiting for their lord's reaction.But little Mary seemed to be intimidated by Ariel, shaking her head all the way, not daring to leave Jamie's skirt. Ariel was completely bewildered.The little girl is wearing his cape, showing that she is from the Kim family.But Ariel had never seen her. Jie Mi led the little girl forward, and now Ariel could see the little girl clearly.She was a sweet little angel with curly blond hair and a cute little face. who is she?Ariel asked. your daughter. my what? Jamie ignored her husband's surprise.In fact, she is our daughter now.she explained. Go over and say hello to your father, Mary. Little Mary was still terrified, and Jamie lowered her head and spoke softly to Mary, while giving her husband time to adjust to the fact. She is Lena's daughter.The matter-of-fact Gavin provided his lord with the correct information. And she is my daughter now, Jamie said.The reason is simple, when you marry Lenna, you become Mary's father, and you should bring her to live with you.And after I married you, I also became Mary's stepmother.But both of us have neglected our responsibilities to this child till now, husband. Luna's children had been taken care of by members of the Ge family in the past.Marco added. Her grandmother died three months ago, did you know that Mary was raised by a distant relative who only wanted money?Oh, I hate to admit that woman is English, Aleigh, you know?Your daughter's back and legs are covered in bruises from the beating.If I hadn't brought her back, she would have been tortured to death by that woman in about a month. Ariel didn't know about it all the time, and Jamie saw it from his furious expression, and felt very satisfied.Then he started asking Marco quickly in Gaelic, all the while keeping an eye on little Mary who was still hiding behind Jamie's skirt. Come here, Mary.At last he said to Mary. Mary shook her head, biting the corner of Jamie's skirt with her small mouth. Ariel started laughing.God help me, she hasn't been with you a day and she's already learned about your stubbornness.He said to Jie Mi, and then picked up the little girl in a big stride. Watch out for her back, Ariel, it hurts. Ariel whispered something to the little girl, and when he saw Mary nod, he smiled. Can you make her speak?She never spoke a word, Jamie whispered.You don't think she has a vocal cord problem, do you? Don't worry, Ariel said.If she wanted to talk, she would, wouldn't she, Mary? The little girl nodded again.She was wearing the Ge family's cloak, Gavin said.God knows if Kelly knew how dirty it was, he wouldn't be able to sleep peacefully. Who changed her clothes?Ariel asked. It's me, Jamie replied.After I saw the wounds on her body, I knew at the same time that I had to bring her back. No, wife, before that you decided to bring Mary back when you said you wouldn't come back empty-handed. This man is really too powerful, but he doesn't seem to be angry.I admit it, Ariel.she said. Ariel smiled slightly, and gently picked up the little girl, but his posture was quite outrageous, almost as if he was hugging a sack of grain.That's not right, that's not the way to hold a child.Jamie corrected.Mary is only three years old, Ariel. But Mary didn't seem to care, she giggled. What did you do after seeing her injuries?Ariel asked. I am angry. How angry? I threw the cloak on the ground and spit on it, God knows I've restrained enough, I really want to leave some wounds on that woman. Marco added: "She did that in front of everyone. very good. After hearing that Ariel approved of Jie Mi's behavior, Marco's originally frowning brows relaxed.That means war.He stated flatly. And it's going to war with two families at the same time, you forgot to add Luna's family to it.Gavin said. No, Ariel retorted.They won't care.Have you ever wondered why Annie followed Lena and lived here?Their people treated their sisters very badly, and the king knew it. That's why you married Lena after her first husband died?Are you trying to protect her?Jamie asked. Ariel nodded, then he looked at his wife, smiled and said: Thank you. Why thank me, Ariel? Thank you for bringing my daughter back.he answered. Jamie was very touched, Ariel is such a caring person!Tears glistened in her purple eyes, Ariel knowingly pretended to drop Mary, and Jamie immediately yelled. Both Ariel and Mary laughed, Ariel hugged Mary in a circle, and then said: "Jiemi, this child smells almost as bad as Father Mu, you take her to take a bath."He turned to Marco.Marco, send for Eddie and Annie, they're sure to want to see their niece. Do you really recognize Mary as your daughter?Jamie is still not at ease. How can I not recognize it? She was choked up with so much emotion that she couldn't speak.Jamie took Mary away to take a bath, and at this moment, her love for her husband grew even deeper. It was a busy day after that, as Eddie and Annie came to meet their little niece.Eddie was very excited; Anne seemed more reserved, and Jamie guessed that she was afraid that Mary would steal everyone's attention from her.Indeed, everyone likes Mary.Gavin, Marco and Father Mu love this little girl very much. Although Mary is still very shy, Jamie believes that in an environment of love, Mary should get used to it soon. Mary was arranged to sleep next to Ariel and Jamie, so that if she had a nightmare in the middle of the night, Ariel and the others could come right away.Jamie seemed reluctant to leave Mary for a moment, until at last Lisa, Ariel and the others drove her to take a bath.It was only then that she remembered that she was also a servant of the world. When she returned to her room, she found Aleigh telling Mary a bedside story.Mary, Gus' wife Lisa, Marco, and Gavin all listened with gusto.Jamie smiled at this warm picture.She thought what a warm people the Scots were, until she listened carefully to her husband's story. This mace cut off his arm What are you telling this kid?She almost growled. Just a story, Ariel replied.What's wrong? what story?Jie Mi asked, she stepped forward quickly, and took Mary on Ariel's lap. Battle of Nozamber. And describe every detail.Mary Road. Jamie's irritation vanished at the sight of her husband's confused expression.Ariel, you said such stories would give children nightmares. But she loves doing this.Ariel argued.Give her back to me, Jamie, my story isn't over yet. Yes, he's not finished yet!Gavin said reluctantly. It was time for Mary to go to bed, and Jamie couldn't help laughing.I can't imagine you telling war stories to such a sweet kid. Apparently neither Ariel nor his men understood what was wrong with war stories. Kiss Mary good night.Jamie said.She handed Mary back to Ariel, who pressed a kiss on her forehead. It's time for bed, Mary, Ariel told Mary softly.I'll finish the story tomorrow. Ariel put the girl down, and Mary ran to lie down on the floor in front of the fireplace.She used it as a place to sleep?Ariel asked. Jamie brings Mary back.I think so.she said.I think her grandmother was good to her though, and Mary has a very sweet personality, proving she hasn't been mistreated for too long. Why do you say that?Ariel asked. If a child has been abused for a long time, sometimes her state of mind becomes distorted.Ariel, why do you look at me like that?She added worryingly: You look shocked, we needn't worry about Mary, Ariel. Ariel forced a smile.I needn't worry, he said.You alone are enough for two. Jamie decided to ignore his ridiculous comment.Shall we sleep upstairs tonight?I want to sleep closer to Mary, she may need me at night. He was the one who needed her that night, Aleigh thought.His brow furrowed.Damn it!She should need his too. Ariel looked at little Mary.She was nestling trustingly on Jamie's shoulder, her eyes closed.Ariel knew that Jamie's love would soon erase the girl's scars.Yes, his wife would make Mary happy, just as her miraculous love gave him infinite satisfaction. He knows she loves him.The way she looked at him said it very clearly, maybe she didn't know it yet, but a little stimulation should make her realize the truth. Ariel smiled.He guessed he had to tell Jamie that he loved her too.Yes, just tonight but he could speak Gaelic, teasing her on purpose. Ariel, do you have anything else to discuss with me tonight?It was Gavin who asked the question, and Ariel's thoughts were interrupted. Oh yes. Ariel smiled slightly and beckoned Jamie to come too.They just got the news that in addition to the Harold family, King Ed of Scotland will also be visiting tomorrow.Jie Mi was nervous when he heard it, and he was really worried that he would not be able to entertain him, which made Ariel laugh.He just wanted Jemi to treat him with a normal heart, because not only Ariel and King Ed are very familiar, the king is also a kind and easy-going person. He and Gavin discussed some etiquette for welcoming the king, and then quickly sent Jamie to escort Mary back to her room, leaving him alone with Gavin when he asked another question that he personally thought was more important.Gavin, have you checked the bedroom tonight? Gavin nodded.I've checked and Eddie's going to be in Mary's room tonight, she's going to sleep with Mary. There are still two soldiers stationed under your bedroom window.Marco said. Two more down the stairs, Marco.And no one is allowed to go upstairs to anyone. Do you know who did it?Gavin asked. I'm almost sure, Ariel replied, his expression darkening.I'm going to set the trap tomorrow.I've been looking in the wrong direction in the past, and if I'm right, Father Mu will have to re-bless Lenna's grave once this is over. I do not understand.Marco whispered. If I'm right, Aleigh repeated.Lenna didn't commit suicide, she was murdered. He watched her as if guarding the most precious jewel.That idiot, he really thought he could stop me? In terms of intelligence, Ariel is by no means my opponent.Tomorrow, I'll do it tomorrow and kill that bitch. That little girl can only have one kind of pleasure at a time, just for another time. God help me hide my pride.
