[Daughter of the Sea] English Fairy Tale

Bath is a city in southwestern England, more than 160 kilometers away from London.From ancient times to the present, as the only hot spring city in the UK, Bath has always been a resort that the upper class in the UK flocks to.

The royal crescent-shaped palace and the circular square are the most spectacular architectural complexes in Bath. The two architectural complexes are adjacent to each other and are located in the northwest corner of the city of Bath.

Isis and her party arrived here three days ago.After seeing Aunt Beatrice, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Isis sent her mother's greetings.After resting in the castle for a day, the girl had a whim and planned to ride a horse to the outskirts of Bath today.

"Isis, are you sure it's okay for you to ride alone?" Ceciria asked suspiciously as she looked at the clumsy girl who was struggling to get on the horse.

"Ceciria, it's okay." After finally sitting on the saddle, Isis wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Aunt Beatrice said that this is the most docile mare in the stable, besides César is with me, you can rest assured."

Sitting on the horseback, Isis's view has been greatly expanded. The wide lawn not far away spreads from the bottom of the slope to the palace on the top of the slope. The blue sky reflects the beige building of the palace. Whether it is the hugeness of the building itself or the Its graceful lines give people a sense of shock.

Because the departure time was very early, there were not many pedestrians on the street.One kilometer to the east across the Pulteney Bridge is the destination of Isis's trip - Sydney Gardens.

It is said that Austin, a famous British female writer in the early [-]th century, lived here, so Isis really wanted to visit here.

César followed Isis on horseback along the way, and the girl glanced at his horse enviously.Below César was a tall, mighty and handsome horse, at least much bigger than Isis's mount.

"Ceciria, riding is so tiring." The whining girl looked at her cousin with a flattering expression, and said, "Why don't we stop and take a rest."

"It's you who said you want to ride a horse, and you who said you're tired." Looking at Isis, Cecilia felt a little headache, "When can I go back after walking around like this."

After a short pause, she continued, "I'll give you two options. First, let's go back now. Second, find someone to ride with."

After thinking for a while, the girl's eyes turned between her cousin and César, and then she replied seriously: "Then I will ride with you, cousin."

Too lazy to give Isis another look, Cecilia turned her horse's head and said decisively, "I'll leave this troublemaker to you, César."

Looking at the back of her cousin's ruthless departure, the girl held back the roar in her heart—why should she refuse so simply!

"Isis." The man looked down at the girl who had dismounted from the horse, and stretched out his hand.

Looking at the man's slender and strong fingers, Isis put her hands on them.Immediately, being taken lightly, the person landed on the horse's back.

Well, it really feels good to ride this kind of big horse.The proud girl wriggled around on the horseback, completely without any sense of safety.

"If you continue to be so restless, I don't guarantee what will happen next." César tightened the rein in his hand, fixed the girl in his arms, and said with a smile in Isis's ear.

Completely enveloped by the man's breath, the girl felt her back pressed against César's chest.Finally, Isis realized the meaning of the above sentence, and she blushed: "You... are too rascal."

Hearing this, César didn't speak, but his straight back was still elegant.At the master's order, the horse spread its hooves and ran forward happily.Huddled in the man's arms, Isis could only hear the whistling of the wind passing by her ears. She smiled and grabbed Cesare's cloak tightly, completely burying herself in the man's breath.

Due to light rain on the way back, the horse slowed down to avoid accidents.In the palace, seeing that the sky was getting dark, but Isis and the others hadn't come back, Beatrice was very anxious.As soon as she heard the servant's report, she rushed over immediately.

"Aunt Beatrice, I'm sorry for worrying you." Isis sneezed loudly. Although she was leaning against Cesar's arms, her clothes were still wet from the rain, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to her body now. uncomfortable.

"It's good to be back safely." Seeing that the three of them were safe, Beatrice finally felt relieved, "Hurry up and change your clothes, and be careful of catching a cold."

After changing their wet clothes, Isis and her party went to the restaurant for dinner.There was a yellow halo around the candlelight, and the girl immersed herself in taking a sip of the mushroom soup. The hot soup made her whole body warm.

"You all go to the hot springs later, just to relieve fatigue." Beatrice looked lovingly at Isis, who was holding a porcelain bowl and eating with a satisfied face.

"Enn, I like the hot spring pool here the most." Isis kept nodding her head as she spoke, taking a bath in the warm hot spring water was a great enjoyment.

"By the way, César, you can go too. The men's pool is next door to the women's pool." Beatrice got up and kissed the girl's cheek, and said, "Good night, my dear."

"Have a good dream, auntie." Isis replied with a smile and narrowed her eyes.

It is said that what is needed in this era is efficiency. After dinner, Isis took a short rest, and with the help of Emma, ​​she sorted out the clothes and big bath towels ready to take to the hot spring pool.

Holding a lot of things, Isis looked at Cecilia with both hands empty and was puzzled, "Cousin, don't you bring anything?"

"Taking a hot spring, what are you doing with so many things?" Cecilia glanced at the girl and asked suspiciously, "Are you planning to sleep there?"

The girl almost tripped over the big bath towel mopping the floor, and laughed a little embarrassedly: "I'm taking precautions before they happen."

Seeing Isis's appearance, Cecilia took the things in her hand speechlessly: "Be careful."

The first thing you see when you enter the bath is the large terrace. On the railing of the terrace, there are nine ancient Roman stone statues standing upright. Looking down, you can see a pool of emerald spring water.It is said that the water temperature here is maintained at around 46 degrees Celsius all year round.

On both sides of the large bath are the east and west bathing areas, separated by a wall in the middle. The inner corridor surrounds the large bath, and the huge colonnade and ashlar pavement present a sense of history.

"Hiss—it's so comfortable." After changing her clothes, Isis wrapped a small and thin bath towel around her waist, and tentatively entered the bath.Soak another square scarf with water, and Isis folded the scarf and covered it on her forehead.

"Isis, when are you going to go back?" Cecilia asked nonchalantly, closing her eyes, leaning against her cousin.

"Mom told me to stay here for half a month." The girl reached for the juice on the table next to her and took a sip. "At that time, I will go back to London with Aunt Beatrice."

"En. By the way, how did you get along with Cecil today?" Cecilia wiped off the sweat from her face with the towel Isis handed over.

"Don't mention this to me?" Thinking of the scene in the morning, the girl drank several glasses of juice one after another.I don't know if it was because of the high temperature of the hot spring that her face turned redder.

Although she was a nerd in her previous life, she never fell in love.But I still know the basic male physiology. Thinking of the strange touch behind her in the morning, Isis has the urge to scratch the wall.So this kind of thing must not let others know ==.

"Would you like some juice?" Seeing Isis reaching for the empty glass again, Cecilia said, "I'll go to the kitchen to get it for you, and you can make it after you come out... Be careful of getting dizzy."

Amidst the steam, Isis had no plans to come out at all.She was feeling comfortable in the bath, she waved to Cecilia and said, "Understood, go and come back quickly."

The kitchen was a certain distance away from the hot spring pool, so Isis was not in a hurry.It's just that she started to feel a little dizzy after soaking, it couldn't be that the soaking time was too long.The girl stepped on the steps to get out for some air.

Tragically, her feet were not stable, and Isis threw her head up and fell backwards. The tragedy turned into a tragedy.With a bang, a huge wave was splashed, and the sound was extremely loud in the empty hot spring room.

Before losing consciousness, what Isis thought of was: My fame in the first life will not end in this bath today.

Just as Cecilia took the juice and walked back slowly, she was startled when she heard a sound coming from the hot spring pool.Afterwards, she realized that something might have happened to Isis, so she immediately put down the jug-shaped glass vessel filled with juice in her hand, and ran quickly in the direction she came from.

When she came to the door, she found that César had come out holding the unconscious girl.The man's black hair was sticking to his forehead. At this moment, the white shirt on his upper body was soaked and stuck to his body, and the water droplets on his hair were still dripping down his cheeks.

"Oh my god, how is she?" Ceciria asked anxiously, looking at the flushed girl who was clearly unconscious.

Isis was drenched from head to toe, César had no choice but to wrap her in a big bath towel, "I guess I passed out after soaking for too long."

At this time, the loud noise has already attracted the guards on duty in the palace. Cecilia looked at Beatrice who hurried over in her pajamas and said, "Aunt Beatrice, Isis has fainted. Let's send her back first." Room."

Seeing this situation, Beatrice told the steward beside her: You deal with this first, and everyone else disperses.

In Isis's room, by the time César had changed into clean clothes and came back here, she had already woken up. While replenishing water, the girl asked puzzledly: "Well, I'm still a little dizzy, but Who picked me up?"

"I asked you to go ashore a long time ago, but I didn't listen." Cecilia touched the temperature on Isis's forehead and said angrily, "Fortunately, Cesare was in the nearby bath and rescued you in time."

"Okay, Cecilia, let's go out." Beatrice tucked the quilt up for Isis, "Let her have a good rest."

A group of people left in an instant, and it took a long time for the girl, who could never grasp the point, to realize: If it was César who saved her, then...wouldn't it be that she was seen all over!

Looking at the man who was finally about to leave, she finally said hesitantly: "Wait a minute, I, you... didn't see anything, right?"

César's hair was still half dry. Hearing Isis's question, he approached the girl's bed, bent down and said softly, "Isis, have you considered that it's time to mend it?"

"What?" Following the man's line of sight and looking down at her chest, the girl's face blushed again, and she squeezed out four words between her teeth, "Don't worry about it."

"Have a good rest, my princess." After saying that, César turned around with a smile, and the moment the door was closed, there was a muffled wail of a girl and the sound of a cushion hitting the door.
