The Sensory Animals of Ston Hill

"You don't need to tell me what to do!" These were the last words Grace said to the Earl of Arundel when she left the cloakroom.

He strictly guarded against this man, to avoid being planted in his head by him unconsciously.But as he lay in bed, his thoughts were full of what the Earl of Arundel had said to him tonight.

It turned out that those troubles were originally caused by Alan Stone.

Not long after he was taken to the summer palace by the lake by His Majesty, Alan Ston accepted a duel with a gun.Alan Stone won and wounded the opponent's gun hand.

Grace forgot to ask the cause of the duel, and only knew that Alan Ston was the one accepting the challenge, and the other party was the nephew of a bishop.The bishop holds the position of minister in the army treasury.

Apparently out of revenge, the minister of the bishop personally accused Alan Stone, saying that he was not a nobleman, but he carried a pistol with him and should be punished.He also called for limiting the power and number of civilian officers.

His accusation was widely echoed by noble officers, while William defended his brother on behalf of the civilian officers.

This matter gradually became a battle between noble and non-noble forces in the army, and William Ston naturally became the target of this battle.

The Earl of Arundel told him that William was very tough in this battle, just like his fighting style.But the result was unsatisfactory, Alan Stone was suspended for inspection, and William received more and more joint charges.

"No wonder he is so free, he goes to teach Luka every afternoon." Grace thought at the time.

He wasn't surprised at all by the trouble Alan Stone had caused: that's what Alan Stone dared to do.He could even imagine his disdainful expression when he was challenged.

However, when he recalled William's demeanor and tone, he couldn't imagine him arguing fiercely with others.

The Earl of Arundel said that the matter was not serious, and he only needed to let His Majesty know that the soldiers who had been vaccinated were safe and sound.He'll take care of the next thing.

He added: "Grace, I know it's not hard for you."

Yes, when he said that, Grace already had a reliable solution in her mind.

For example, this is a good time, His Majesty is kissing and stroking his body, if he puts His Majesty's finger on his left arm, His Majesty will be able to find the scar left by the cowpox on his arm.

But he didn't want to be controlled by the Earl of Arundel.

The next morning, Grace went to Crown Square in a carriage.

He knew that if Anna called Alan Stone's name directly downstairs, the people in the cafe would definitely reply, "He's not here." So he let Eva go directly into the cafe.

After a while, Alan Stone and Eva ran out of it together.Alan Stone ran faster than Eva. He anxiously grabbed the door frame of the carriage and looked in. He knew he was being tricked after just one glance, and said angrily to Grace, "You're pretending to be sick again!" !” Then he turned and left.

Grace quickly grabbed his hand, "I'm not pretending to be sick! It's a real headache!"

Alan Stone turned his head suspiciously, Grace hurriedly supported her forehead, pretended to be weak and said, "I didn't sleep all night last night, and I woke up this morning with a terrible headache..."

He pretended to perform, but Alan Stone didn't say the lines he should say, so Grace had to continue to say: "It's not that I don't want to sleep, but I can't sleep. Someone told me about you and William, let me very worried--"

"Who told you?" Alan Stone interrupted him.

"...Earl of Arundel." Grace said deliberately hesitantly, he knew that this trick would work well for Alan Stone.

Sure enough, Alan Stone frowned immediately, and scolded: "Why are you still talking to that bastard?"

Grace gave him a sad look, her eyelids drooped in grievance, "I'd rather hear the news from you or William..."

After a few seconds, he heard a sigh above his head, and then he raised his eyes to look at Alan Stone, and moved to the side to make room for someone.

Alan Stone ignored his flattery, and still stared at him sullenly.Grace and him looked at each other, and suddenly felt a little aggrieved, she pursed her lips, and turned her head to look out the window on the other side.

After a while, the carriage shook a few times, and Grace felt someone sitting beside her.Then Eva got into the car, and said to the driver: "To Hatter Row—"

"No need." Alan Stone interrupted her, "Turn right out of the square and into the alley."

Anna asked him in surprise: "Master Alan, has your place been tidied up?"

Alan Stone responded in a low voice, looked at the back of Grace's head from the corner of his eyes, and said, "The hat shop street is too far away. It snowed last night, and the road is muddy."

The wheels rattled.The pavement in the square was old, and some stones came out of the ground, and the carriage ran over it and bumped badly.

Grace suddenly turned her head and glanced at Alan Stone, catching his peeping eyes.He was just trying to scare him.Alan Stone's heart tightened, his eyes fixed on the front and he didn't dare to move.

Grace snorted and continued to look out the window on his own side.With his elbows resting on the window frame and his chin resting on his hands, he swayed with the bumps of the carriage.Today, he combed his own hair, but he didn't comb it well, and some hair fell off beside his face, making the corners of his eyes itchy.
