Instructing Holman not to rest and keep moving forward, the carriage traveled for an hour and arrived at a small town in the county before sunset.

Ram neatly arranged dinner for Lilith and prepared a change of clothes. After Lilith stepped into the bathtub, a thunderclap sounded and a rainstorm came as expected, with raindrops hitting the window lattice with a crackling sound.

"That seaman's prediction is really accurate." Lilith smiled and sighed to Ram. She was still playing with the teaspoon-sized shell in her hand. She felt a little sorry that such a talent could only do hard labor. It was a waste. Maybe she could hire a meteorologist to go to Shelley Town.

"What do you say I should make it into a bracelet? Does mother know any jeweler? I think I can drill holes here." Lilith raised the small shell. The more she looked at it, the more she liked it. It shone with pearls whether it was day or night.

"...Maybe you can make it into a lip balm box and put it in your dressing box?" Ram pursed his lips and helped Lilith wash her long golden hair. He couldn't help but remind her, "Most people don't want to interact with the sea people. They are despised by the gods and expelled by the Church of Light. Many people regard them as filthy and ominous. If you wear jewelry with the characteristics of the sea people, it may not be conducive to your social interaction."

Lilith's eyes widened. Why didn't you tell me earlier? There's such a good thing? ? Can this be called an accessory? This is a halo equipment.

"I'm too young to need lip balm. Let me get pierced. Please help me arrange it when the time comes." Lilith said firmly.

Ram was helpless, "As you wish, miss." He had already reminded her of what she needed to. After all, she was still a child, and blindly opposing her might arouse her rebellion. So he just let her be. Maybe after a few days, when the novelty wore off, she wouldn't like it anymore.

A good night's sleep.

……

Thanks to the rainstorm, the air finally became moist and cool in the next few days. The journey was no longer difficult, and Hoffman ordered to speed up while the weather was good. Three days later, Lilith finally saw the towering city wall in the distance through the car window. She sighed exaggeratedly and couldn't help but sigh that Mr. Freyr was really rich...

Ram in the corner thought that the young lady had finally become nervous when she saw the city and thought about the upcoming meeting. She consoled him, "Mr. and Mrs. are both very open-minded people, you don't have to worry. Just get along normally."

After such a long time together day and night, Ram felt that he had figured out the temperament of this young lady. Although she was full of curiosity about everything, she was sensible in her behavior. She would not run around and cause trouble, nor was she squeamish. She was friendly to everyone and had never been seen to lose her temper. She would chat with everyone. In addition, she was said to have inherited her mother's beautiful face. After entering the social circle of the nobility, she would definitely be a popular girl. With such an eldest daughter, I believe the lady would be much more relaxed. I just don't know her father...

Ram thought of the rumors she had heard before, and couldn't help but feel a little pity for the little girl in front of her. She admitted that she liked this lively little girl in her heart, because she reminded her of her wife's childhood. She only hoped that Mr. Freyr would let go of his knot and accept this poor girl because of her happy life now and the cute and sensible child...

In the evening, the group finally crossed the moat. After entering the city gate, the noise outside the carriage immediately became noisy. The hawking of street vendors, the squeaking of wheels when horse and ox carts passed by, the screams of children chasing and playing excitedly... The air also carried the domineering buttery aroma of freshly baked bread. Lilith was weaving a bracelet on her hand and humming a little song in a very good mood. She liked this kind of city life full of fireworks. If she didn't know that Ram and Hoffman would definitely not agree, she would definitely get off the car and take a walk. But there is a long way to go, so she is not in a hurry.

There was a commotion outside the carriage, and the carriage slowed down. Then there was a knock on the door. Ram thought it was Hoffman coming to report the road conditions, so he opened the door and exclaimed. "What are you doing..."

Lilith heard Ram's call, and then she looked up, and saw a lady in a burgundy dress quickly entering the carriage. She kicked off the hem of her skirt and sat down next to Ram. Then she looked up and smiled at Lilith: "Good evening, Lilith. Today's weather is really cool, suitable for going out, isn't it?"

Lilith was stunned. The lady in front of her had red hair and a red skirt. She sat there elegantly, her skirt trailing the ground like a burning flame. Since she came in, the temperature in the carriage seemed to have risen by two degrees. She had a strong and small nose and deep eye sockets. She had a sharp and passionate beauty.

"After the knight sent the news, I couldn't wait to meet you at the manor. Let me introduce myself. My name is Melissa Taylor. You can call me Melissa." The red-haired lady continued with a smile.

Seeing Lilith's dazed look, Ram coughed heavily. Lilith finally came back to her senses from the charm that Ms. Taylor continued to exude, and quickly stood up and saluted.

"Boom!"

Before she could open her mouth, Lilith, who had been preparing to stand up and salute, bumped into the roof of the carriage because she had forgotten the height of the carriage. "Ugh..." Lilith groaned in pain, covered her head and squatted down. Ah, her stepmother was so beautiful, but she was so embarrassing. She didn't want to stand up anymore. Could she give her a crack in the ground to get out?

Melissa burst out laughing, quickly dragged Lilith up from the ground, hugged her warmly and rubbed her little head. "Don't be nervous, child. This is your hometown. I am ashamed for not taking good care of you over the past few years. I hope you can forgive me for being such an incompetent mother."

“Mother…” Lilith was doubly struck by Melissa’s dazzling smile and warm embrace. Her head was also rubbed by her soft hands until she felt dizzy. In this trance, she couldn’t help but say, “You smell so good…”

Ram closed her eyes in despair. What was she expecting? It was impossible for two people like this to be together and be normal.
