I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

"What's its name."

"Mary."

"The name is very good. Miss Chris must have chosen it."

"Indeed, I am very happy to get your approval."

"Don't pull the reins too tight. Pulling too tight might hurt Mary."

"Oh well."

"Use the side of your inner foot to gently touch Mary's belly."

"Ok."

Xu Siling is a person who doesn't like trouble very much, but trouble can't be avoided, so he should try his best to do it well.

Under his careful instruction, Chrissy carefully rode on Mary's docile horse.

Mary moved slowly, Xu Siling and Chris held the reins at the same time.

Chris's expression was surprised, happy, and a little excited. It could be seen that this was indeed her first time riding a horse.

Any groom or normal man could teach Chris how to ride a horse.

But why did you choose him?

Xu Siling probably sensed what was going on, but he thought that he told Chris that he was already married and had a wife, which was not the right thing to do.

Seeing Chris' child-like happy smile, Xu Siling was a little lost.

It’s not that he was dazzled by Chrissy’s beauty.

Simply thinking of Mayfair, Ella and Farina.

He had rarely seen this kind of smile on the faces of the three of them.

If their positions were changed, would the three of them be led by him on a horse and ride with laughter like they are now?

Mayfair is an independent and self-reliant girl. Although she is young, she will restrain herself from showing such a cute child-like smile.

Because a child’s smile, although cute, also looks immature and incompetent.

Mayfair doesn't want people to feel this way about her.

So Xu Siling couldn't imagine what it would be like if Chris was replaced by Mayfair at this time.

If it were Falina
Falina probably wouldn't be happy to ride a horse alone. She would rather invite Xu Siling to come up and ride as a couple.

The relationship between the two has already made substantial progress, and they will not be as ambiguous as Mayfair and Ella.

But Falina's simple smile seemed more healing than Chris.

As for Ella
That feels even more impossible.

With Ella's temperament, she is withdrawn and indifferent. She has excellent riding skills but doesn't like to show off. The reason is very simple. She doesn't like to stand out.

Whether it's housework or relationships, she doesn't like to show off.

She would rather suffer criticism and become a fool in the eyes of others, but also push Falina to the front of the family and become her mouthpiece.

Ella's isolation is different from Blanche's isolation.

The former is a free choice, the latter is a no-choice.

Ella enjoys a solitary life, which the latter may not enjoy.

The contact with Blanche has not been long, but Xu Siling can feel that Blanche has a certain courage. As long as she has a choice, she will be more courageous than anyone else.

"Spirit Knight, what are you thinking about?"

Just when Xu Siling was lost in thought, he was awakened by Chrissy.

"It's okay. I feel sorry for Miss Chris learning so quickly."

"That's because you teach well. Without such a good teacher like you, I wouldn't be able to learn."

Under Xu Siling's careful guidance, Kris naturally learned and mastered easily.

The world of Enli is unique, and not everyone has the opportunity to become Anli.

At least on the surface, Chris looks more like a normal person than Enri.

During the teaching process, Xu Siling secretly glanced at Blanche.

Blanche was sitting calmly on a patio chair, looking at him and Chris with a faint smile.

Xu Siling was seen peeking at her and showing an incredible smile.

The time for teaching horse riding passes quickly. Getting started is not too difficult. If you want to become proficient, you have to try more on your own.

Mary was a horse specially bred for the aristocrats to play with, and her temperament could not be more docile.

Chris is not crazy enough to abuse horses, so the chance of Mary hurting Chris is almost zero.

As long as she has a groom to pay attention to her while she is studying.

According to this progress, Kris will be able to ride alone in three days.

"Miss Chris, there's only so much I can teach you. The rest is up to you to slowly learn to ride."

Chris enjoyed the time being led by Xu Siling while riding.

Especially when she would approach Xu Siling with her hands intentionally or unintentionally from time to time, but Xu Siling would avoid them skillfully.

His polite and chivalrous refusal did not make Kris shrink back, but instead made her more proactive.

The only pity is that there is an extra person in this courtyard who should not exist - Blanche.

Although it was natural for Xu Siling to come to her home and teach her how to ride a horse, it was mostly due to Blanche.

But during the teaching, Blanche kept watching, which made Chris feel a little uncomfortable.

If Blanche was not around, she thought she could take a step further with Xu Siling.

Now when she heard that Xu Siling was about to resign and leave, she suddenly became nervous and dismounted in panic.

"Spirit Knight, are you leaving?"

Chris quickly invited, and even reached out again to pinch Xu Siling's sleeve.

"Would you like to stay and have tea and snacks together?"

Xu Siling looked embarrassed and was ready to refuse directly.

Unexpectedly, Blanche looked like she was eating something, and she smiled and spoke.

"Why don't you stay and drink tea together, Spirit Knight."

As an outsider, she had already seen that Chris was interested in Xu Siling, but she was not jealous at all, or even cared about it.

Because she knew very well that Xu Siling was not interested in Chris.

If Xu Siling leaves, she has no reason to stay here.

"Princess Blanche"

Xu Siling looked helplessly at Blanche's gloomy brown eyes. Based on his status, he could refuse Chris.

To put it simply, Chrissy's identity is just the daughter of a marquis.

But Blanche is a royal princess, and there is a big difference in status between the two.

Blanche asked him to stay in front of Chris, but he couldn't refuse.

If it was just him and Blanche, he would simply refuse.

It's a pity that we can't live like this in the eyes of outsiders.

It is necessary to give Blanche this level of status and face.

"The two most beautiful women in the kingdom are asking for this, how could I not know what is good and what is evil?"

Chrissy was pleasantly surprised and happily wanted to pull Xu Siling to the tea table. Looking back and thinking of Blanche watching, she let go with a blushing face.

Xu Siling pulled the chair away and sat down alone.

If he had a choice, he would rather stay in Kasuo's shop and spank more than a dozen children who haven't even grown their fur yet.

I don't want to face the double attack of Blanche and Chris here.

Xu Siling felt that the three of them were like a sandwich now.

He's the one in the middle
The three of them chatted happily.

At least that's what it seems.

As long as the topic didn't involve him, Xu Siling always had that indifferent and smiling expression.

On the contrary, the chat between Blanche and Chris was more like politeness. Maybe Chris didn't see it, at least he felt that Blanche was not interested in Chris' topic.

The topics of conversation for aristocratic ladies like Chris include hobbies, clothing, gem necklaces, and gossip.

Blanche was not interested in any of these topics. Until Chris mentioned that Marquis Boggs, her father, had collected an art painting in the bookstore.

It is a picture of the Virgin Mary and the baby Jesus.

This aroused Blanche's interest, and her beautiful gloomy face became curious.

It can be seen that Blanche is very interested in art and other things.

"Knight Siling, do you know anything about art?" Chris asked Xu Siling.

"I'm just a rough knight and don't understand these things."

"I think Spirit Knight can learn more about this aspect. It may be useful when getting along with other female nobles in the future."

"The two most beautiful ladies in the kingdom are right in front of me. I don't think I need to think about getting along with other nobles."

Chris covered her mouth and smiled. She didn't think she could be prettier than Blanche, but of course she was happy to be praised like this by Xu Siling.

Blanche interrupted: "Miss Chris, is that painting convenient for display?"

"Princess Blanche wants to see it? Of course, no problem. But it's in my father's bookstore, so we have to move there."

"I'm fine. I'm just worried that the bookstore is the private place of Marquis Boggs and I'm intruding like this."

"Don't worry! It's just for looking at a painting. My father won't be angry. I've been to his study many times and there's nothing important. Not to mention that he's not at home now. Come on, Princess Blanche, I'll take care of you." You go."

Seeing this opportunity, Xu Siling coughed slightly and stood up: "Then I'll do it first."

Blanche cleverly said: "Let's join the Spiritual Knights together. I'm looking forward to your views and understanding of art."

Chrissie nodded: "Yes."

Xu Siling sighed softly in her heart, regarding the matter of spanking Charlie and Blanche.

The priority of the latter has already surpassed that of the former.

I had no choice but to follow Blanche and Chris to the mansion.

Soon I arrived at the library of the mansion.

As soon as you come in, you can see the high ceiling with chandeliers hanging on it, the light is soft and warm.

The walls of the study room are painted in light and elegant colors to enhance the scholarly atmosphere.

Family portraits and maps also hang on the walls.

On the left hand side of the bookstore, there are several bookshelves lined up, occupying the field of view.

These tall bookshelves, each piece of wood carefully sanded and polished, are filled with a variety of books, from ancient parchment manuscripts to hardcover leather-bound books.

Between the bookshelves, there is a soft carpet that makes almost no sound when walking on it.

The painting Chris was talking about was on the wall at the bottom of the bookshelf.

The three of them approached.

What catches the eye is the exquisite painting hanging on the wall.

The Virgin Mary and the infant Jesus are surrounded by angels in blue robes, which in medieval times was a symbol of justice.

The frame is made of Baltic oak.

Xu Siling had seen this painting before and remembered that it was preserved in the National Gallery in London in quite good condition.

The two people in the portrait are both Jews.

I didn’t expect that this painting would be in Paris, France at this time.

If this painting is authentic, then Xu Siling really doesn't know how this painting ended up in England.

"Princess Blanche, how do you feel?"

Under Blanche's golden hair, she had a beautiful gloomy face, and her pupils were shining with starlight.

She liked this painting very much.

"It's lifelike. From this painting, I can feel the artist's meticulousness."

"As long as you like it. I don't know much about art, but when I saw this painting for the first time, I was fascinated."

The painting is a good one, but Xu Siling, who has experienced many painting styles, is just a little emotional due to the accumulation of history, and does not feel how beautiful this painting is.

Even looking at the portrait of baby Jesus
He thought of a joke.

Kris' attention was always on Xu Siling, and when she saw the corners of his mouth rising slightly, she couldn't help but ask.

"Do you have any insights from the Spiritual Knight? Let's talk about it."

"No, Miss Chrissy, I just thought of a metaphor."

"What metaphor?"

"That's it. What's the difference between Jesus in the portrait and Jesus on the cross?"

This question couldn't help but arouse Blanche and Chris' curiosity.

But Xu Siling just shook his head and did not continue.

If you really want to tell the answer, it's a joke from hell, and it will definitely take two women's pupils to shake.

He's not that stupid.

Seeing that Xu Siling didn't continue, Blanche turned her attention to the painting. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it and became obsessed with it.

"What a beautiful picture, it's well preserved in the painting. This is art, right?" Blanche asked subconsciously, with a hope of being affirmed in her tone: "Xu, is the art in your eyes like this?"

A question popped up in Chris' head.

Why did Blanche call Xu Siling just now? Why are they so close! Are my ears deaf?

Blanche fell into the world of portrait art and didn't even react.

Seeing Blanche's infatuated and eager to be affirmed, Xu Siling narrowed her eyes. She had to give this girl a face and collect some interest for being fucked by her so many times.

Xu Siling coughed lightly and stood next to Blanche. His voice was very soft, but it was guaranteed that they could all hear it.

"Princess Blanche, why do you think art is beautiful?"

Blanche said without hesitation.

"The reason why art is beautiful is that it can touch the deep emotional feelings in the heart and trigger sympathetic thinking. Just like this painting, with its exquisite composition and use of color, it makes me feel the meaning behind the painting."

"My opinion is different from yours."

Blanche was stunned for a moment. She was very knowledgeable about all kinds of art, and she was a little concerned about Xu Siling's opinions.

She turned to look at Xu Siling: "Then why do you think art is beautiful?"

"Why is art beautiful? Because art is useless."

These words made Blanche's face suddenly turn pale.

It was just that her skin color was almost pale, so it wasn't fully reflected and Xu Siling didn't notice it.

"It's like, why is life ugly? Because life is full of purpose."

"In life, we usually regard art as a form of entertainment or a display tool, rather than a necessity of life."

"It is largely useless because it does not directly provide material help to people's lives or meet their actual needs."

“This uselessness gives art its unique value.”

"Art can help people transcend the trivialities and worries of daily life and provide a kind of spiritual satisfaction and pleasure. It can stimulate people's imagination, expand their thinking, and make people feel the beauty and meaning of life."

"It is precisely because of this uselessness of art that it has unique value and charm."

Blanche's expression became worse and worse.

In other words, her heart was shaking
Blanche, who is deeply lonely, likes art and painting, and hopes that she can show her due thinking and resonance like painting.

But Xu Siling said that art is useless?
His words seemed to be saying that she, Blanche, was useless.

She is a useless royal princess, so naturally she has to like this useless art.

The word "useless" deeply hurt Blanche's heart.

Chrissy didn't notice Blanche's expression. She only felt that something was wrong with what Xu Siling said, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.

She even didn't know how to refute what Xu Siling said.

Just when Xu Siling noticed the change in Blanche's expression, the door of the study room was suddenly opened, and two male voices were heard.

When the owner heard the sound, Chris was like a mouse hitting a cat. She was frightened and quickly pushed Xu Siling and Blanche into the bottom of the bookshelf.

this time
The three of them completely became a sandwich.

In the bookshelf, Xu Siling was severely sandwiched between Chrissy and Blanche, unable to move.

In other words, I dare not move at all. (End of chapter)
