Caroline looked very depressed when she saw the end of the "river" in her eyes. Mrs. Latimer whispered, "Although I don't know what you and Isabel are betting with, I am sure she will not hurt you." ”

As the two walked back along the path of the woods, Caroline broke a branch and waved it aimlessly in her hand, saying as she played: "I know that she will not hurt me, and even let her brother Ernest pursue me, intending to provide me with a shelter in love and life where I can continue to live." ”

"When did this happen?" Catherine became interested in her words.

"Just after my father and Joseph were arrested by His Majesty the King." Caroline waved her twig with a nonchalant expression.

Catherine Never pondered the reasons Isabel did this, thought about it, and then smiled and said, "Carrie, when you go back, pray to God a few more times, and pray that God has given you this trustworthy female companion." ”

Carolyn Swift turned her face to look at her, "Pray? What to pray? ”

"Pray that Isabel will not leave you because of the affairs of your father and brother."

"Catherine, how come I can't understand you? What exactly are you trying to say? ”

Catherine shook her head and said slowly, "Carrie, I have already told you just now that the king who owns the entire kingdom will not compromise with all the pilgrims, and the behavior of the pilgrims will make the king make a shocking decision. ”

Caroline suddenly had a bad feeling that her heart was beating hard. Biting his lip, he said slowly: "His Majesty the King will execute all the arrested leaders?!" ”

"I'm sorry for the misfortune that has befallen you, Carrie. Your partner is an outstanding, excellent partner, and you should be proud that you can have such a female partner. ”

As Catherine speaks, she begins to realize that she can be selflessly helped by Isabel in many ways, such as her husband's two children with his ex-wife, her stepson John, and her stepdaughter, Clara.

Viscount Darlington's daughter didn't listen to what she said, and just left the Lin Yin trail alone after hurriedly saluting. Madame Latimer looked at her back and wondered, "Why didn't Isabel tell her the truth?" Was it because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to accept it, or was it because of something else? ”

Caroline angrily went to the place where everyone was sitting in the back garden. At this time, John, the eldest son of Baron Latimer III, was standing on the lawn at a certain distance from Isabel, wielding one of Isabel's short swords excitedly. While practicing the knight's swordsmanship in style, he said happily, "Miss Isabel, how did you learn swordsmanship?" I would like to learn swordsmanship from you. ”

Isabel smiled lightly, "I learned swordsmanship with my father. If you want to learn, come to me in Richmondshire. ”

Clara, the younger sister who was two years younger than John, snuggled up to Euphemia's side, curiously inquiring about people or things in Asker's estate. When Euphemia saw Caroline returning, she noticed that her face was not right, and whispered to Isabelle, who was sitting beside her, "Sister, Miss Caroline has returned, and she seems to be very angry. ”

Isabel stared at Caroline as she walked along, and she didn't know why the other party was so angry. When Caroline walked up to the crowd, she snapped, "Isabel, follow me." ”

"Effie, take care of Mrs. Latimer's two children for me." Isabel threw a word at her sister as she got up.

She followed Caroline to a stop in front of a dozen old, stout trees on the left side of the lawn, and Caroline glared at her without saying a word. Isabel walked over to a tree, leaned against the trunk, glanced at the people in the distance and said, "Okay, what do you want to say." ”

Despite the arrest of her father and brother, Caroline prepared for the worst. However, today's words of Catherine Nevel still made her shudder, and after thinking for a long time, she said: "Tell me, will my father and Joseph really be put to death by the king?" ”

Isabel was shocked, she couldn't understand how Caroline knew about this ending. Could it be that Mrs. Latimer told her? In the face of Caroline's questioning, she did not answer immediately, but just looked at the other party in silence.

"Isabel, tell me, this is not the truth, this is not true!" Caroline roared hoarsely.

The angry and very loud roar caused several people in the shade of the trees in the distance to be attracted by her voice, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the two of them. Isabel hurried up to Caroline and grabbed her by the arm and walked towards the grass between the trees. After taking a few steps, he stopped, let go of the other party's arm, looked at the other party and asked, "Even if this is the truth, what can you do?" Can you open the Tower of London and forcibly free your father and brother? ”

"Bah......" Caroline punched the rough trunk of a large tree beside her, and in an instant, a sharp pain came from between the bones of several phalanges. Rubbing his right hand back and forth a few times, which seemed to have some flesh wounds, looking at Isabel's gaze became extremely sharp, "Actually, you already know the truth, right?" Why, why didn't you tell me?? ”

A gentle spring breeze rattled the leaves on the treetops, and the birds jumping between the treetops were probably disturbed by Caroline's anger, and disappeared in an instant. Standing a few steps away, Isabel stared at her somewhat distorted face, subconsciously glanced at her right hand that she was rubbing, and Madame Latimer's face jumped out of her mind, "Damn, what's going on with this Catherine, she really wants to see Caroline have a nervous breakdown?" ”

"Karly, your father and Joseph have committed treason and will never be forgiven by the king, do you understand?" Isabel tried to keep herself calm in the face of the other party's anger.

Caroline walked up to her in a few steps and stared at her intently: "Treason? Isabel, the king was the most beloved of my father and Joseph, who never thought of overthrowing the king's rule. ”

"However, your father led his eldest son and his army to join the rebels. You tell me, what is this not treason?? Isabel quietly raised the tone of her voice as she told the truth.

"Treason? Well, this is what His Royal Highness the Duke of Richmond, the illegitimate son of the king, told you? Or is it the Duke's partner, Lord Surrey, who has royal blood, saying it? ”

Isabel wrapped her arms around her chest and looked at the other man silently taking two steps to the left. Feeling the soft and somewhat wet grass beneath his feet, he turned around and took two steps to the right.

Finally, returning to Caroline's face, he looked at her calmly: "Neither His Royal Highness the Duke of Richmond nor Lord Surrey, the two nobles can decide whether your father's and Joseph's actions are a crime of treason. Only His Majesty the King can make this decision. ”
