At the end of the conversation, Isabel Walton never told Sir Roland what he should think about whether he should join the march south. After all, she is a modern person who is the polar opposite of the English people living in Western Europe in the 16th century in terms of logic and ideology.

She had a more sensible and clearer view of religion than the 16th-century English, who were deeply enslaved by religion. For her, who was born in the 20th century and grew up in the United States in the 21st century, there are a lot of things in life that are more important and interesting than religion that deserve her attention and pursuit.

It is true that in the process of contact with people in daily life, she is also more accustomed to individualistic values and life norms such as respecting others' personality, respecting others' labor, respecting others' interests, respecting others' time, and respecting others' personal freedom. Under the influence of the bourgeois creed of "equivalent exchange", she believes in her individualism, but also respects the individualism of others.

Under the influence of these values, she is reluctant to impose her ideas, opinions, or orders on others. In the case of giving others full personal freedom, she prefers to let others make their own choices. Therefore, whatever choice Sir Roland makes, she will fully respect Sir Roland's personal wishes.

However, the current situation is that her family member Euphemia is innocently involved in the incident. Driven by the desire to respect Jazz's personal wishes, she needs to protect her family as much as possible through her own efforts and those of her father.

At the moment, Sir Roland Wadsworth was in the midst of a complex intellectual struggle. Lord Augustine saw that his daughter's words seemed to have a certain effect, so he turned the subject to his younger daughter. He said to Jazz, "Sir, I just hope this doesn't affect Howard's marriage to my daughter." ”

Sir Roland looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Sir, please rest assured that whether or not I will take part in this campaign to petition the king, it will not affect the normal holding of the children's wedding." ”

"Sir, you probably don't understand what I mean."

"Oh......? Sir Augustine, what do you mean by that? ”

"If you insist on joining this march south, I don't think I can stop you. However, I don't want my daughter to be implicated because of your ideas. ”

Sir Roland blinked, shook his head with a smile, and said, "I am only a servant of the King, and the King will not do anything to me." Moreover, no one now knows how many northern nobles, knights, and squires will be willing to join this petitioning procession. ”

Sir Augustine said earnestly: "Do you really think that the king does not hold a grudge against everyone who takes part in this 'Prayer of Grace' campaign?" You should know very well what the purpose of the king's desperate attempt to break with the thousand-year-old Catholic faith, to bear the charge of paganism, and to make enemies of a powerful Catholic state. ”

"Sir, I know the King's reason for doing this is to get a male heir to the throne."

"Do you think, then, that a king would show the mercy of a monarch to those who take part in this movement?"

"Does the king really want to use force to suppress this petition and demonstration?"

"Sir Roland, for the sake of you, your family, your loved ones, please think about it carefully. I don't think the king will allow opposition to him in the kingdom. ”

"No, the king certainly wouldn't do it. I believe that everyone who participated in this movement was loyal to the king's subjects, and they simply demanded that the king cancel the Reformation and return to the original Catholic order. ”

Augustine shook his head helplessly, and as he stood up, he said, "Sir, I have told you everything I want to say. Now, I just want to make one request to you. ”

Sir Roland nodded and said, "Sir, please." ”

"I want to postpone my daughter's wedding to your eldest son until next spring, do you agree?"

"Next spring? Sir do you know what this means to your family and your reputation? ”

"Sir, I know. I'm just going to wait until this movement is over before I have my kids get married. ”

"Well, if you're determined to do it despite the shame of your family, I wouldn't object to it."

Out of respect for Sir Augustine and his daughter, Sir Roland prepared two separate rooms for them before they left, so that they could have plenty of time to rest. As one of the servants guided the father and daughter down the corridors of the castle, Isabel smiled softly and said, "Sir, Effie's problem is solved. Now, we can take it easy. ”

Augustine shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Isabel, I'm worried that postponing the wedding will affect our family's reputation. ”

"Sir, relax, I believe that the nobles and knights have been attracted by the arrival of the London lawyers. For them, the preservation of their spiritual and religious beliefs is the most important issue. ”

"God willing, and may Sir Roland not do anything stupid."

"Father, at least you don't have to worry about it, I mean Effie's fate."

"Isabel, I hope you're right."

As to whether Sir Roland Wadsworth would be fooled by the seductive language of the London lawyer, Isabel was no longer concerned with the question. When she entered the room that Sir had arranged for her, she suddenly thought of something and stopped the servant who was about to leave the room.

The young servant raised his head slightly and whispered, "Miss, is there anything I can serve you?" ”

When Isabel removed the two short swords from her waist, she said, "Uh, what's your name?" ”

"Miss, you can call me Kenneth."

"Kenneth, is Morecambe Bay near the castle rich in marine food?"

"Miss, what do you mean?"

"I remember that Sir had mentioned to me a food of the sea called cockles. Do you know what kind of food this is? ”

Kenneth casually glanced at the dagger she had placed on the table, and whispered, "Yes, Miss." However, this food is usually eaten only by poor farmers or vagrants begging for food. ”

Isabel sat on one side of the chair and asked curiously, "But why did Sir know about this kind of food that only poor people eat?" ”

Kenneth smiled and said, "Because the waters of Morecambe Bay wash up a lot of cockles after every rise, so we have a lot of people here who go there to pick up cockles." ”

"I see. So, when will the waters rise in Morecambe Bay? ”

"I'm sorry, miss, I don't know. All I know is that the rising sea and the quicksand there are very strong, and every time someone drowns in the rising sea for picking up cockles. ”
