Anthony Tuttle, who hails from the countryside, knows no more about swordsmanship than his father, Carl. So, what happened to his father, Carl, was rehearsed on him without surprise.

At the end of the second duel, Isabel Walton once again placed two short swords in an X-shape against the back of Anthony's neck. Everyone present was amused by the appearance of Anthony on his knees with his hands covering his aching lower abdomen, and Caroline, the eldest daughter of Viscount Darlington, smiled and said to the people standing behind him: "Isabel, is this your way of humiliating this farmer, or are you really planning to cut off his head?" ”

Isabel looked up at her: "Actually, these two duels today used to happen to this guy's father, Carl Tuttle, in the same way. ”

Then, she lowered her head and asked Anthony, "Hey, how are you feeling?" I tell you, this is how it turned out when I duel with your father. ”

Anthony, whose expression was still ugly, endured the pain and replied, "Miss Isabel, why should I believe that my father was once defeated by you like this. ”

"Of course, you can not believe me. I want to ask you, do you still believe what your uncle said to you? ”

"I... I'll think about it. ”

"Anthony Tuttle, when you go back, may you ask your uncle what his brother and son have done and where they are now?"

"Miss, why do you say that?"

"Because I want you to know the truth of the matter."

Isabel took the two short swords off Anthony's neck, looked at the would-be knight Herbert and said, "Herbert, have this guy taken out of the castle and let him go home." ”

Herbert was surprised and said, "Your Excellency, do you really want to let him go?" ”

"I guess his uncle Bill made him do it on purpose. As long as Anthony dies by my sword in revenge for his father, no one will dispute his appropriation of Carl's property. ”

"I see, Your Excellency."

Anthony was disarmed and asked before he could take the oatmeal bread he hadn't eaten before, and Isabel smiled and agreed. Caroline stared at the young man from the village who had left with a lump of bread, and said hatefully, "If this had happened in Darlington Castle, I would have given him a good taste of a leather whip and cut off one of his ears." In the end, he was sentenced to death. ”

Isabel shook her head: "Carrie, he's not a landless wandering peasant, he's just a poor guy who has been taken advantage of. ”

"Well, I had a great time at Nottingham Castle today. Now, I need to go back and think about how I can crack your move. Then, come and beat you again. ”

"Good luck, Carrie."

"Isabel, sir, I'm leaving."

After the eldest daughter of Viscount Darlington left with four guards, Isabel began to consider the Duke of Richmond's departure for the south. After much thought, she invited Sir Augustine and Sir Alex Ferguson to the room of the captain of the guard. The Duke is about to leave for the city of London, and today she has an overview of the inside story of the assassination of Sir Augustine, and focuses on the informant hiding in the castle.

The two knights were silent for a moment, and Sir Alex Ferguson looked at her and said, "Your Excellency, I think the gates of the city should be closed at once." Even if the whistleblower wanted to inform Lord Northumberland, I would deny him that opportunity. ”

Isabel thought about it and said, "Well, sir, you must immediately gather a team of guards and prepare to escort His Highness to the south. ”

When Sir Alex Ferguson got up and left the room, Isabel chased after him. The two walked to a place where no one was and whispered, "The person I asked you to find, have you found it?" ”

Sir nodded, "I found twenty people, and they hid in the woods in my territory. As soon as you give an order, they can do it at any time. In addition, I also searched for our people in the security guards. ”

"Very well, the time to do it is set when His Highness leaves Richmondshire. Sir, let them know that fighting in taverns, taking advantage of landless vagrants for illegal assemblies, spreading seditious speeches, and plundering property and cattle for the purpose of disturbing the peace and order in the county. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency."

"In addition, if you think it necessary, you may rob the prison and take in the landless and vagrant peasants who have been whipped, and be sure that the gentlemen and men of the county shall be aware of the failure of the magistrate to do his duty and not to give the offender a just punishment. In this case, they would be able to appeal to the king, the circuit judges, and the chancellors by writing letters of displeasure, and give Lord Haswell severe punishments up to his dismissal. ”

"I see, Your Excellency."

"Alright, there you go."

When Elobel returned to the chamber of the guard, he said to Sir Augustine, "Father, now you understand why these men have come to assassinate me and you, right?" ”

Augustine's expression was serious, and he glanced at his daughter: "This incident is indeed beyond my expectations. How do you and Your Highness think that Lord Northumberland is the mastermind behind this? ”

"No, father, the real mastermind behind the new queen is the Seymour family, Lord Northumberland and his knights are just mercenaries of the Seymour family."

"My God, a very simple assassination case can be involved in a political struggle in the palace."

"Father, His Highness is an adult and is about to get married, which means that some people are starting to think that he is the biggest threat on the road to power."

"Married? How come I didn't hear His Highness say that? Sir Augustine looked at his daughter in amazement.

Isabel smiled and said, "Your Highness went to London City this time to get married. Of course, Lord Northumberland's purpose in sending mercenaries to assassinate you, me, and His Highness is also for the marriage of His Highness. ”

"Kid, I don't understand what the connection between these two things is?"

"Father, I'll tell you later. For now, all you need to do is escort His Highness safely to the City of London. ”

"This is my duty, and I will definitely protect Your Highness."

"Father, don't tell anyone before Your Highness gets married, including Mother and Effie." Isabel said thoughtfully.

"Well, although I don't know why." Sir Augustine nodded.

"Father, go back to the manor and get ready, I have to go to His Highness." Isabel said a few words to Sir and left the room and headed for the main building.

When she reached Henry's room on the third floor, she found Eugene, the valet, and two or three of them scrambling to put various items into several boxes. Henry, who was sitting in the long back chair, looked a little anxious, directing the servants what they should put for a while, and how they should put it for a while. When he inadvertently looked up, he saw Isabel leaning against the door frame admiring the hectic scene.
