Chapter 188: Release
Sir Augustine Walton, the London lawyer, and two servants did not go far, and soon after leaving Isabel dismounted and hid in the woods on the right side of the road.
Robert Althop looked anxiously at him and said, "Sir, is your daughter in danger?" If that Yomanon really wanted to kill her, could she beat those people? ”
Augustine grimaced and did not answer the lawyer's words. In fact, he is still very confident in Isabel's longsword fighting skills. Even with the two-handed short sword swordsmanship that made him disdain, he thought that few people could completely defeat his daughter.
However, since Isabel became the titular daughter of the Walton family, he has transferred all his love for his eldest daughter, Rosalind, to her. While he was happy that Isabel had grown up to be the Duke of Richmond and his right-hand man, he couldn't help but feel a strong desire to protect her.
At this moment, in order to protect this London lawyer who stubbornly wants to lure the northern people into the rebellion, he is forced to stand aside and turn a blind eye to what is about to happen to his daughter. After thinking about it, he plans to go alone to rescue his daughter, who is besieged by a group of vicious people.
Augustine didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and walked towards the place where the horse was tethered. Robert looked at Sir in amazement and said, "Sir, where are you going?" ”
Sir looked at him in silence and said only one word, "I'll go save my daughter, sir." ”
"Sir, this is too dangerous. Even a brave knight like you can't defeat those under Yoman. ”
"Sir, do you mean that my daughter should be killed for protection?"
"Sir, I... I swear to God, I would never think so. ”
Augustine ignored him, but looked at the two servants and said, "Come here." ”
Two servants trotted up to him, and one of them, in his thirties, said, "Sir, do you have anything to say?" ”
"I'm going to rescue my daughter now, and you two must protect Mr. Althorp."
"Yes, sir. However, we were only servants, and we didn't know how to use a sword. ”
"I don't care if you use a sword or not, I just need you to stay with your husband. No matter what happens, you can't leave him, get it? ”
"Yes, Sir."
Augustine mounted his horse, looked at Robert and said, "Sir, you had better start praying to God at once, that my daughter and I will return safely." ”
Robert nodded heavily and said, "May God bless you and your daughter." ”

Isabel returned to the middle of the road and said to Karl and his cousin, who were sitting on a stone on the side of the road, "Mr. Tuttle, are you going to let me go now, or are you still going to kill me?" ”
Carl knew that the other party had two chances to kill him, but he never did. Although he didn't know why the other party wanted to let him go, he was determined not to be an enemy of Isabel again. It's just that his cousin Bill is still thinking about how to get revenge.
Carl sighed and said, "Bill, Miss is waiting for you to make your final choice, which one do you want to choose?" ”
Bill pulled out his double-edged straight sword and said with a sneer, "My cousin, I don't know which side you're on, and I don't want to know if you remember that you were a member of the Tuttle family. I only know one thing, I have to avenge the death of my loved ones. ”
"Well, since you want revenge, go for it. You've already had two dead hire-workers anyway, and with your land-buying and selling employer, I think these people of yours should probably think they should go home. ”
"Carl, do you think I dare not go?"
"My cousin, just now I was wondering why Miss let me go twice, twice??"
"Maybe this Miss Isabel has a crush on you."
"Bill, your words suddenly remind me that this young lady may want me to become the Lord of House Tuttle."
Bill Tuttle stared at a pair of eyes and said in disbelief, "Cousin, what do you mean by that?" ”
Karl pursed his lips and said, "Nothing. You want to avenge our loved ones, but you can't beat this young lady with good swordsmanship. So, I'm waiting for you to be like your two hired men, lying on the ground and eventually dying with all your blood drained. ”
"Very well, Carl, if that's what you think, then you're wrong. You will never be the Lord of House Tuttle. ”
"Really? I remember that to become a Yomannon, all you had to do was have more than 50 acres of land. As for the primogeniture of the aristocracy, I am afraid that it will lose its usefulness in the villages. ”
The cousin's words hit Carl's most fatal weakness. If he had been killed by Isabel in the duel, there was a good chance that the land owned by his family would have fallen into the hands of his cousin. Bill thought about it and slowly put down the sword in his hand, looked at Isabel not far away, and said to his cousin, "Carl, do you think I will die so easily?" I'm not as stupid as my brother. ”
Carl Tuttle nodded and said, "That's what the venerable Mr. Yomanon Bill Tuttle should say." You have to remember who owns more land and what kind of education will be the real winner. ”
"Cousin, you're right. Well, I can accept this fact. After Bill finished speaking, he turned to Isabel and said, "Miss, we have decided to let you go." ”
Isabel shook her head, and instead of speaking, she thrust the two daggers back into their scabbards. Augustine rode up behind the hired men and tenant farmers and cried out, "Get out of the way." Whoever is your employer, let him come to me. ”
The appearance of Jazz brought Isabel to another question. He hurriedly led his horse to Karl and said, "Sir, I will explain to my father what happened here." ”
Karl got up from the stone, looked at his cousin, who was reluctant to face Isabel, and said with a smile, "Miss, thank you very much for not killing me twice, and for making me feel that I still have a lot to do." ”
Isabel smiled and nodded, saying, "There are more interesting things waiting for you to do in this secular society. Goodbye, gentlemen. With that, he led his horse to join Sir.
A larger-scale revenge duel of honor that is about to begin, is resolved without a trace in a few words. Sir looked at his daughter, who had come to him on horseback, and then looked back at the hired men and tenant farmers, and said, "Are you all right, son?" ”
Isabel shrugged her shoulders and said, "Yes, I'm fine." ”
Augustine asked curiously, "How did you get them to change their minds?" ”
