Chapter 363: Marriage

This question has slowly arisen since Isabel Walton became the godmother of several children in 1538. Back when she was airdropped to Richmond County like a parachute trooper, she was a helpless witch who was thought to be a witch who used heresy and could be crucied and burned at any moment, and she didn't know how to survive at the end of the Middle Ages.

In order to survive in this historic land, she had to make up a lot of elaborate lies. In order to convince the Duke of Richmond and his knights, stewards, servants, tenant farmers, and others, she worked very hard to learn the Seven Techniques of Knighthood, and further tested her cold weapon combat skills in effective practice (masked raiding).

When her ingenuity was discovered by the Duke of Richmond, lord of the royal domain, she began to grapple with a military rebellion by the nobles, knights, and squires of the North. When the dust settles, she discovers that there are many important and interesting things to do in this world.

Slowly, before she knew it, she had left the most important event in a woman's life in the corner of her memory. Now, by chance, brought up again by Sir Ferglin from a dusty corner, the matter seemed so abrupt and unnatural.

On the morning of Ascension, there were still more than two hours before sunrise. Isabel smiled calmly against the background of the torches around her, without showing a trace of embarrassment: "Madam, I believe that if you dance on the grass with other ladies and young girls, you will be more beautiful and healthy." ”

At this moment, Euphemia smiled at Maria and exclaimed, "Maria, what are you doing?" Come and dance. ”

Maria glanced sideways at Isabel, who had avoided her question, and had no choice but to salute Baroness Latimer and her, and then go to Euphemia. Baroness Catherine Nevel glanced at Maria, who was walking towards the dancing crowd with her skirt up, "Isabel, I know you don't want to talk about it. However, you can't avoid this question at all. ”

Isabel smiled happily at Caroline, who was looking at her, "Catherine, when you married your first husband, Lord Borough II, at the age of 17, did you think about what you could do in this secular society except get married? ”

"17 years old?! Time flies, it's been 11 years this year. ”

"Catherine, are you trying to tell me that you don't remember what you thought anymore?"

The Baroness smiled beautifully, and it was no wonder that Henry VIII took a fancy to her at first sight, and did not dislike her as a widow who had been married twice. Smiling, he glanced at Isabel: "I do not remember 11 years ago. If I had met you when I was 17 years old, I would probably have had the same views on marriage as you do. ”

"Actually, I think women can do a lot of other things besides getting married. So, I spent my time getting married and having children elsewhere. ”

"I know. I've never met a woman as good as you before I saw you as a lovely companion. He knew horseback riding, archery, swordsmanship and hunting that men loved. ”

The Baroness smiled and added, "I'm sorry I met you in my second marriage." However, I feel lucky that I have become the best friend with that special you. ”

Isabel glanced at Caroline Walton, the lady of the knights, who had walked in front of her, and turned her head to look at her, "Catherine, this is probably the reason why I was able to become the godmother of Lord Latimer's eldest son and eldest daughter. ”

Isabel glanced at Caroline, "Wait, I'll be right there." With that, he stood on one leg and pulled off one of his riding boots with both hands. Then, he pulled off his other riding boot and took off his sock.

When she stepped on the grass with her bare feet, she smiled happily at Mrs. Latimer: "Catherine, why haven't you acted?" Do you think you're old? ”

"Come on, it's a festival for you young girls." Catherine, who is only 28 years old this year, is only 1 year younger than Isabel, but her two marriages have made her think that she is on the verge of aging.

Caroline gave her a quick knee salute and pulled Isabel with a grin and ran towards the dancing crowd in the middle of the lawn. When she ran to Euphemia and Maria, Euphemia looked at her, "Doesn't Lady Latimer want to come?" ”

Isabel shook her head: "Leave her alone, she feels like an old woman now!" ”

"Old woman! Giggle...... Aren't you worried, Isabelle, about me telling Madame Latimer what you say? Sir Alex Ferguson's wife, Maria, joked.

Isabel looked at her and pursed her lips and made a strange look. Caroline smiled lightly and whispered, "What were you and Catherine talking about just now?" ”

"It's nothing, she just wants to know if I'd like to get married?"

"You know, Isabel, there are a lot of people besides Catherine who want to know about this."

"So, you and everyone else want me to get married and have my own children soon?"

"yes, I'm glad you saw that."

Isabel glanced at her sister Euphemia and Maria, who were smiling happily a few steps away, and looked at her brother's wife while stepping on the dew-covered grass with her bare feet: "But I'm not the only woman in the upper class of the North who doesn't want to marry, right?" ”

Caroline shook her head: "If it's because of the dowry, Ernest and I, Euphemia and Herbert will definitely come to your rescue." If it's because you can't find the right male ......"

"Look, you're saying exactly what I want to say."

"I know that a few years ago in County Durham there was a knightly family whose eldest son was fit to marry. However, at that time, I didn't even have the idea of getting married. Caroline suddenly laughed after thinking about it, and put her face to the other person's ear: "Now, Francis is not only knighted, but also a county magistrate in Yorkshire. Do you think he could be a good fit for you? ”

Isabel was stunned for a moment and smiled faintly: "What, do you think Francis is suitable for me?" ”

"yes, he's only two years older than you and not married. And, you've known him for a long time, and I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't want to marry him. ”

Isabel lied about being 15 when she came to Richmondshire six years ago. Therefore, everyone who knows her also thinks that she is 21 years old this year. Judging by the situation described by Caroline, it was a very good choice for her to marry Francis.

However, at present, there is a very serious problem in front of her and everyone. If she wanted to marry Francis, she had to get the Duke of Richmond's consent.
