When Isabel arrived at the drawing-room, she found Sir Augustine and his wife already sitting there. After greeting her parents, Madame Sir called her to her side, "Son, John's uncle has come with you?" ”

"Yes, Mother, Mr. Parr followed me as a guard to escort His Highness to the county border."

"Well, how old is this William this year? Was his father a nobleman? What role do you hold now? ”

Isabel looked at the somewhat old lady and smiled knowingly, "Mother, are you wondering if you can let me marry Mr. William Parr?" ”

Sir Augustine, who was seated on the throne, stood up and paced to the mother and daughter, "Son, you have been in this family for six years. Although this is His Highness's idea, we still treat you as if you were our own child. So, you have to think about your marriage now. ”

"All right, father. Well, William's father now serves as a magistrate, chief of the guard and commissioner of the county in Northamptonshire, and the family's ancestors lived at Kendall Castle in Westmoreland two centuries ago. Isabel could only tell Sir some of the things Catherine had told her about her family.

Madame Sir became interested when she heard this, and took Isabelle's hand and hurriedly asked, "Son, so this Mr. Parr is from a noble family?" ”

Sir looked at Isabel with kind eyes, "Son, I know something about Kendall Castle. After the death of Lord Kendall, Mr. Parr's family took over the castle, and the family ...... A descendant of Edward III, right? ”

Although Isabel wondered how Jazz knew, she replied absent-mindedly, "Well, father is right. ”

The lady knight on the side was happy, and a smile bloomed on her face that she hadn't seen for a long time, "Son, I think this Mr. Parr is a good fit for you." His father was also a magistrate, and his family ancestors also came from the royal family. ”

"Mother, if I tell you that Mr. Parr is not only not married at the moment, but also has the title of knight, would you still intend me to marry him?" Isabel glanced at the French clockwork clock on the cupboard, counting the time and talking.

"It's... What's going on? Antonia looked at her daughter strangely, then looked up at her husband again, "Sir, do you know? ”

"It seems that Mr. Parr's ancestors were the female offspring of King Edward III, and the family is now in decline. Child, do you know where Mr. Parr's family territory is? ”

"According to Mr. Parr's sister, Lady Latimer, probably in Houghton, Lancashire."

Lancashire is a notoriously poor county among the northern counties, and the man's family domain is in this county. Antonia shook her head silently after hearing her daughter's words, the only thing that could make her talk about comfort at the moment was that the other family still had a territory. Isabel knew that the couple valued their marriage very seriously. Therefore, there was no dare to "hide" the true situation of William Parr and his family.

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Isabel easily stood up and looked at her parents and saluted, saying, "Father, Mother, I am going back to His Highness's castle. ”

Antonia looked up at her daughter, her eyes filled with sadness again, "May God bless you, child." ”

"Madam, I'll come as soon as I go." Sir Augustine walked beside his daughter, "Go, take me to this Mr. Parr." ”

"Sir, do you still wish you could fulfill your mother's wish?" As Isabel left the parlor, she glanced at her father.

"In any case, Mr. Parr's father was also a magistrate in the service of His Majesty the King. With a little more effort on his part, the knighthood could be easily obtained. ”

"Sir, he can not only get the knighthood, but he can also be—" Isabel almost said the title of nobility that William had received in three years.

Sir Augustine glanced at his daughter, "What else can become?" ”

"Oh, nothing. I mean, maybe in the future I will become a respected magistrate. ”

"Well, it's possible. As long as he strives to obtain the title of magistrate of the county by His Majesty the King, it is also possible to obtain the post of magistrate of the county. ”

Sir and Madame Sir were in such a hurry to marry Isabel that there was no way to do it. She was only "15 years old" six years ago, so she didn't have to think about getting married. Now, she is 21 years old, and she has not married at such an age, which is simply a shame for the Asker family. If this kind of thing were to be done to the daughters of other knight families, I am afraid that they would have already married a second time.

In fact, Isabelle's marriage to William Parr should be said to be a very good choice. Her husband will be the Marquess of Northampton, and her title will be upgraded to Lady of Northampton, and she and her husband will have the whole of Northampshire.

After the birth of their child, her eldest son, the heir to the family, can use one of all the titles held by the father, and the daughter can be honored as Madame. On this basis, her other sons can also be given the title of Lord as an honorific title.

In politics and at court, the husband's title of marquis will always remain the second rank of nobility. Due to the scarcity of numbers, they are highly valued by earls, viscounts, and barons. On major social occasions, the king addressed his husband as he did to a duke. In the same way, she treated the Marquise with the same respect and courtesy as the Duchess.

However, three years from now, who can say clearly. It is also possible that Mary, the wife of the Duke of Richmond, died of puerperal fever, like Queen Jane Seymour, and the Duke intended to marry her as a second duchess. Therefore, what the situation will turn out in the future, Isabel does not want to think about at all now.

Previously, William Parr had a good chat with his nephew, John Neville, in the garden. Although the two are not related by blood, the two have not alienated each other because of their blood relationship. When the naïve John heard William say this, he hurriedly said excitedly: "Uncle, are you really here to check my training?" ”

William glanced at the two fellow guards who were watching the joke and nodded, "Yes, John." I heard from your mother that you were in foster care for three years in your godmother's family. Three years is not a short time, and at least you should learn the knightly skills of hunting, horsemanship, and swordsmanship. ”

John, who was a little enthusiastic, quickly stood up and looked at William, "Yes, uncle, I have learned a lot about what you said. Now, I can show you that. ”
