Chapter 436: Love at First Sight
Previously, William Parr didn't pay much attention to Isabel introducing herself to the tavernkeeper's daughter. It was only now that he remembered the incident when Wei had come to apologize to him and ask for his forgiveness. After muttering a few words to Isabel, she smiled and invited Fast and Baldwin to another table.
"Your Excellency, allow me to deal with the dispute with Fast first." Then he stood up and saluted Isabel, then took two more glasses of ale, "Your Excellency, is it okay?" ”
Isabel pursed her lips and nodded with a smile, "William, if you think that Fast has humiliated you, you can fully exercise your right to propose a duel of honor." ”
William was slightly stunned, "Your Excellency, I... I will not exercise this right lightly. ”
Ever since the bull's daughter, Janet, met William for the first time today, she was fascinated by this thin, handsome young man. Although she still receives the guards of the Duke's Court with the same attitude as before, she deliberately maintains the conservative, traditional, and reserved sense of a young, unmarried woman.
She wanted to make a very good impression on William, who she met for the first time, so as to achieve the purpose of getting closer to the other party. At the moment, one question that is haunting her mind is whether the other person has developed some affection for her. Of course, Janet immediately dismissed the idea of marrying William as soon as she heard about his true identity.
Just as her eyes were on William from time to time, she saw that the other party was suddenly sitting at another table with the other two guards. This is a good opportunity for her to find out a little about William from her "Holy Daughter" Isabel. After thinking about it, he turned his head to look at his father, who was wiping his glass, "Father, Miss Isabel still paid a pound for the wine today. I guess it's still possible to give Miss a pear bar? ”
"No problem, even if I give her a barrel of pear wine, I agree."
"I'm going, father." Janet came to Isabel from behind the cupboard with a glass of pear wine that had been poured, "Miss, my father said to give you another glass of pear wine." ”
"Well, I appreciate your father's kindness." As Isabel spoke, she noticed that Janet's eyes were quietly looking in the direction behind her.
Isabel shook her head with a smile and quickly understood the bull's daughter's intentions, "Janet, sit down, I want to talk to you." ”
Fast sat across from William and accidentally saw Janet sitting across from the Privy Counsellor, who was not curious about Janet's actions. It's just that he grinned at William and said, "Brother, I am very ashamed of your sincerity. For this, I also feel that I am a very shameful person. ”
William took a sip of ale and laughed, "Fast, at that time, Your Excellency didn't say where to find the security patrol. Therefore, there must always be a man who walks along the county boundary towards the west. I'm just a newcomer and was supposed to obey orders. ”
Janet sat wriggled across from Isabel, wanting to say what was in her heart but afraid that the other party would laugh at her. Very shy and asked softly, "Miss... What are you going to talk to me about? ”
Isabel's mouth snorted in William's direction, "Talk about the guy who just made you dazed." ”
"Miss, who are you talking about? Just now? I wasn't in a daze just now. ”
"Relax, Janet, he can't hear it."
"Miss, I... I don't know what you're talking about. ”
"Oh, well, we'll continue our conversation when you're done." Isabel pinched a strip of roast beef with two fingers and put it in her mouth, nodding as she chewed, "Well, today's roast beef is good." It's a pity that the guy doesn't seem to have eaten much. ”
"Really? Is it because he doesn't like to eat my father's roast beef? Janet noticed another plate on the wine table. At this time, there is still more than half of the roast beef on the plate.
Isabel took another sip of pear wine after eating, "Janet, if you don't want to talk about it today, maybe you'll have to wait a long, long time before you see him." ”
In desperation, Janet pleaded bitterly, "Well, well, miss, don't tell him what I asked you." ”
Next, Isabel's words were short and sharp. There is no mention of William's royal bloodline, nor does it mention the fact that William's sister holds the title of baroness. She just told Janet that William still has no title, let alone married. His mother died young, his sister married far away, and the family had only two relatives: his father, who was the county magistrate, and his sister, who was not yet married.
Janet stared at her curiously, "Miss, so he is the eldest son of a knight. But why didn't he get married? ”
Isabel glanced at William, who was chatting happily with Fast at the other table, and shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. You know, I've never had much interest in other people's private affairs. ”
Then he looked at the daughter of the tavernkeeper, who was silent, "Janet, of course I hope that you can love each other, and even take each other's hands and walk into the church. It's just that the facts are the facts, and I'm afraid I don't have much power to change the facts. ”
Janet looked up and smiled, "I know that I am not qualified to ask the eldest son of a knight to marry me. I was thinking that even if we can't be together in the future, we can talk to each other now... Love! ”
"I'll also tell you that the last thing he wants to think about right now is love."
"Miss, why is that? Doesn't he want to be with someone he loves? ”
"The title of knight. Janet, now you understand what he wants, right? ”
William stood up from the wine table, put his arm around Fast's shoulders and laughed, "Brother, I didn't expect you to be the same as I thought." Very well, I will be sure to pray to God a few more times tonight, and pray that I can get a letter of recommendation from Your Excellency. ”
Baldwin walked over to the two of them, "Don't worry, as long as your knightly skills are satisfactory to your Excellency, we will soon be able to obtain titles, status, positions, and wealth." ”
Fast noticed that Janet had not left the table where Isabel was sitting until this point, and only smiled and said, "It would be nice if we had a war with the Highlanders at this time." If you can survive the war, you will be granted the title of king in no time. ”
"If there is a war, can we sit here and drink and eat meat?" Baldwin said lukewarmly.
William felt that these two people were not much better than himself, "Anyway, the life of serving as a guard for His Highness is much better than those who hold the official book, right?" ”
Isabel sipped the pear wine in her glass, "Janet, let's go, they're back." ”
