Dorothy, who came from rural Yorkshire, certainly wouldn't have recognised the noble coat of arms placed on top of the letter. Her youngest daughter, Jane, however, pointed to the coat of arms and chirped in a girl's voice like a bird: "Mommy, in the middle of this pattern is a shield, and blue bands are used around it, and on the head of the shield is a crown of His Majesty. ”

"God, how did this little girl from the northern countryside know the crown of Henry VIII?" While secretly surprised, Isabel continued to write a letter to her father, Sir Augustine, silently.

Dorothy was even more shocked when she heard her daughter's words, and even her elderly father said curiously, "Jane, you have never seen His Majesty, how do you know that the thing on the pattern is a crown?" ”

The little girl pouted, thought about it seriously, and said to her grandfather, "I have seen the picture of the Lord Jesus, and the crown of thorns on the head of the Lord Jesus is very similar to this crown. So, I thought, this must be the crown of His Majesty the King. ”

Luckily, Jane didn't recognize the pattern in the middle of the coat of arms. Otherwise, Isabel really didn't know what food to use to gag the little girl's mouth. Because any joman or gentleman can describe the coat of arms of the Duke of Richmond.

The coat of arms of the Duke of Richmond is taken from the English royal coat of arms used from the time of Henry IV: quartered, staggered with three irises on a blue background (representing France) and three frontal, walking lions on a red background (representing England).

On top of this, there is a small shield in the center of the quartile shield pattern, and a white ribbon covers the large shield and the small shield from the top right to the bottom left. The small coat of arms is divided into six equal parts, with two complete antlers and a mountain on a blue background in two equal parts, and a staggered red and green and yellow checkered base below, with an upright lion-shaped beast in the middle.

Isabel wasn't going to let Dorothy's children continue talking. After writing a quick letter, write your father's name, title, and address on the back of the letterhead, and then roll the letter into a letter box and tie it with a beautiful ribbon. Dorothy then took a few burning sticks of wood from the campfire, heated them slightly at the bottom of a small jar with fire paint, and drizzled some fire paint on the seals. Finally, a seal engraved with the family crest was taken out of the small pocket containing the letter, and the seal was stamped on the heated fire paint.

It was customary for Isabel to use letterhead with the family coat of arms when writing her family letters. However, at this time, she was carrying out the task assigned by the Duke of Richmond. Therefore, on the way to the mission, the letter paper with the duke's coat of arms is used for communication.

From taking out a full set of writing utensils for letters, to using stationery with noble coats of arms, and finally dripping some fire paint and stamping it. By this time, Dorothy had confirmed Isabel's identity, and the young and beautiful young lady who could write letters, shoot arrows, and fight was definitely an aristocratic lady.

While Isabel was still writing letters home for Dorothy to her father, John Neville, William Parr, Baldwin, Fast, and a few other guards were gathering in the dining room on the side of the kiln, discussing the large pile of loot that had been brought out of the cellar's basement.

Baldwin crossed his arms and smiled proudly, "I didn't expect these bastards to steal so much food, drink, weapons, and clothing. ”

Leaning on the edge of the dining table, William glanced at the captured thieves across the dining room, "Judged according to the laws of the kingdom, these bastards will never want to get out of prison." ”

John, a young man who was squatting in front of a pile of weapons, turned his head and glanced at William, "Uncle, I think it's better to kill all these thieves who have been captured." Let them leave the monastery, and they will still loot everywhere, and perhaps even run to His Highness's territory to plunder. ”

Although Baldwin was a little surprised by the young but ruthless John, he admitted that the young John had a point. Judging by the distance, it won't take more than half a day to ride a horse from here to Richmondshire. Even if you walk, you can reach the prefecture in half a day at most. Once these thieves enter the county, no one knows what they will do.

However, there are now two magistrates and a security army led by the Governor of Peace to guard the peace of the county. A few unarmed thieves with no food or clothing, can beat the heavily armed security cavalry and sergeants?

Baldwin lowered his arms and walked to the door of the restaurant and said to the crowd, "The peace of the county is guarded by two magistrates and a security army, and a few thieves who have nothing will not pose a danger to His Highness's territory." Your Excellency's order, I think we must still carry it out. ”

Naturally, the young John would not object to the execution of Isabel's order to release people, he only regretted that he had not killed an enemy with his own hands when he went to the "battlefield" for the first time. When he heard Baldwin talk about the law and order army, he suddenly had a new idea to become a law and security cavalry under the command of the Governor of Sheriff. Defending the Duke of Richmond's territory while fighting thieves and outlaws, he thought the role must be exciting.

Isabel handed the letter to Dorothy's hand with a kind smile on her face, "Dorothy, take this letter to my father or mother at Asker Manor in Richmondshire, I think they will do their best to save you and your family." ”

"Isabel, although I still don't know your identity and status, I can be sure that you are a young lady." Dorothy's tone was a little more respectful and fearful, and she nodded as she took the letter that had been tied with a tow and sealed with fire paint, "Miss, how should my family and I repay you for saving your life?" ”

"Well, your father said that he would recite the Rosary for me every day."

But reciting the scriptures is not enough. If I could, I would be your maid for the rest of my life. ”

Isabel quickly shook her head, "No, you have to be a woman who can read and write, learn English, French, and Latin." ”

Dorothy smiled a little embarrassedly, "Miss, I'm just an ordinary country woman, and it's too late to go to church to learn to read and write." ”

Baldwin, William, and the others counted the items looted by the thieves, and then came to their female commander and saluted her. Baldwin calmly reported: "Your Excellency, the things that the thieves have stolen have been counted, may I ask you how to arrange them?" ”

"Dorothy, you and your family pack up your things, and then call the others to wait for me at the door of the restaurant." Isabel whispered as she stood up.
