Sir Roland Wadsworth thought he was dazzled when he first saw Isabel standing behind the crowd during his previous meeting with a lawyer in London. When he turned to leave, he couldn't help but want to take a second look.

At the second sight of Isabel, he was convinced that he was seeing a living young woman. It is strange that the young woman's face is exactly the same as that of Sir Augustine's dead eldest daughter, Rosalind.

After that, he began to suspect that what he was seeing was the manifestation of Rosalind's soul in the human world. Therefore, he simply walked away from this soul in silence. At this moment, Sir Augustine had only lowered his suspicion of Isabel a little when he formally introduced him to him.

Sir Roland, who was seated on the throne, looked at Isabel suspiciously, and was silent for a long time before he said, "I have seen a portrait of Miss Rosalind in Sir Manor. It's just that it's hard for me to imagine such a strange thing in the world. ”

Isabel shook her head and snorted softly, "Sir, I think the 'Five Wounds of Christ' is perhaps a more incredible thing, isn't it?" ”

"Miss Isabel, you're right."

"Sir, have you ever thought that perhaps it was this dim, dayless Romanesque building that affected your ability to observe the world?"

"Well, Miss Isabel, your suggestion is indeed novel. It seems that the position of Privy Counsellor in the Duke's Court is the most suitable for you to take over. As for this Romanesque building, I can't do anything about it. ”

"Just because the castle is royal property?" Isabel glanced back and forth at the furnishings in the living room.

"Yes, I am only a servant of the king." Sir Roland said with a helpless smile.

Sir Roland then asked the servant to bring two glasses of wine to the two of them. After a few bites, the atmosphere of the conversation between the three of them was much more relaxed than just now. Augustine looked at the paintings and sculptures in the living room with his glass in his glass and said, "Don't you find it strange, sir? My daughter and I will escort a lawyer from the South to the counties of the North? ”

Sir Roland, likewise with a glass of wine, came to him and said, "No, I am not at all surprised. Sir you are one of the finest knights at the Duke of Richmond's side, and your daughter has surpassed you in a way. ”

"Sir, thank you for the compliment to Isabel. So, you've also developed some interest in her? ”

"Yes, sir. How could a young man like Miss Isabel, who was educated, trained as a knight, and skilled in archery, not be interested? ”

"Well, now you can talk to me about your thoughts on this southern lawyer coming to the north, right?"

"Sir, please come here."

The two knights returned to their seats, and Sir Roland put down his glass, saying, "I have asked Howard to write a letter to your daughter Euphemia, and the contents of the letter are related to this gentleman lawyer. ”

Sir Augustine said in amazement: "Faith? I didn't receive any letters, did I? ”

Isabel, who was sitting on the side, interjected: "Father, maybe the letter will be delivered after we leave?!" ”

Roland Wadsworth shook his head with a smile and said, "Miss Isabel, there is always a novelty to your opinion on a matter. Miss, I beg your pardon for thinking of a shellfish abundant in Morecambe Bay, which is under the jurisdiction of the Shire. By the way, have you ever tried how to enjoy the meat of a shellfish like cockles? ”

Although Isabel was very curious about a knight in the thirties of the 16th century who had tasted shellfish, she resisted her curiosity and did not let him continue. Because, after 18 months of her time with these Englishmen, she already knew too well the habitual thoughts of these people.

In the course of a conversation, when talking about something unrelated to the topic of the conversation, he will be gushing and excited. However, when it was time for them to keep the conversation going, most of these arrogant, conceited English nobles and knights would only take a taciturn attitude to participate in the conversation.

When she heard Sir Roland's words, she just smiled and said, "Sir, I think we can talk about the abundance of cockles in Morecambe Bay at another time, do you agree?" ”

Sir Roland's eyes widened in surprise, and he nodded again, "No problem." Uh, miss, I think you'll see more clearly than anyone else about the purpose of Mr. Allthope's coming to the North, will you? ”

"Yes, sir. As a Privy Counsellor to His Highness, I often need to keep my mind in a clear state. ”

"Good. So, what do you think of this gentleman lawyer's coming to the North? ”

"Quite simply, Mr. Althop came north just to get an answer. He wondered if the king to whom he was loyal really intended to break with the Holy See. ”

"What if that's what the king thinks?" Lord Roland asked hurriedly.

"Mr. Lawyer, then, as a Catholic, is bound to make a difficult choice between the Holy See and the King. And this choice will ultimately determine the question of faith that has been closely related to his life. Isabel analyzed.

Does he have to make that choice? Mademoiselle, you are well aware of the fact that Catholicism has existed in the Kingdom for almost a thousand years. ”

Augustine sat and listened carefully to his daughter's words, and he admired that Isabel could find a new breakthrough every time to repeat the upcoming "Pilgrimage of Grace" in the north.

But then he heard his daughter answer Jazz's question in this way. Isabel sneered and said lightly, "Sir, if you insist on affirming the status and power of Catholicism in the kingdom, I think I can go and rest." ”

For a moment, Sir Roland could not understand what she meant, and said eagerly: "Mademoiselle, do you not recognize that the Pope and the Holy See have a sacred and incomparably high position in the eyes of the king's subjects? ”

"Well, thank you very much for the kind reminder from Sir Sir . So, the status and power of the Pope and the Holy See are greater than those of the King and the royal family? ”

"Of course. No, I'm talking about the status and power of the Pope and the Holy See in the faith. ”

"Sir, since you do not agree that the Pope and the Holy See are higher in status and power than the King and the Crown, then congratulations on you, you have been freed from the spiritual bondage of Catholicism."

Sir Roland's eyes widened, and he said slowly, "Miss Isabel, do you think so?" ”

Isabel stood up and said, "Sir, you once said that you were a servant of the king. ”
