Due to Anne Boleyn's seven-year life experience at the French court, Anne had more diplomatic influence in the alliance with France than Henry VIII. In the winter of 1532, England and France convened a conference in Calais, in northern France, in which France turned to support Henry VIII's second marriage.

Anne's performance in handling government affairs is obvious to all, and even the ambassadors of France and Milan have praised her diplomatic skills. Henry VIII saw all of this, and he admired her sharp mind and eloquent art, as well as her political enthusiasm and diplomatic skills.

At this time, the wise and elegant Anne Boleyn in front of Henry VIII suddenly turned into a suspicious, cruel, mean, vicious aristocratic married woman. Frowning, he picked up the glass only to find that there was no more wine in the glass.

Seeing this, the Duke of Richmond quickly stood up and walked to his father's side, picked up the wine jar on the small table, poured some more wine for his father, and asked softly with concern, "Father, did you think of something?" Is it that makes you feel bad? ”

Henry VIII glanced at the wine in the glass, and took half a drink from the. When the Duke of Richmond poured him some wine again, he raised his eyelids and looked at the illegitimate son, "Henry, Miss Isabel is not married yet, is she?" ”

"Yes, Father. I think it's probably because... For my sake. The Duke of Richmond replied with a look of unconfidence. He guessed that Isabel never married because of herself.

Henry VIII nodded, "So, you're pursuing her?" ”

The Duke of Richmond was still unsure whether he was pursuing Isabel or not, and nodded vaguely in response to his father's question. Henry VIII watched the bastard's expression closely, and commanded in a deep voice, "Well, I don't care if you're pursuing her or not. Remember, you can't marry her. ”

Seeing that the bastard child looked a little surprised, he didn't seem to understand what he meant, so he had no choice but to say, "What I want to say is, continue to let Mary be your wife and let her be your lover." ”

It was only at this moment that the Duke of Richmond really understood what his father meant, and his father probably thought that the tragedy of Anne Boleyn would repeat itself in his own body. When his father stopped talking, he replied calmly, "Father, Miss Isabel is not that kind of woman. ”

Henry VIII tilted his head and glanced at the bastard, and suddenly laughed, "Henry, do you know who I'm talking about? ”

"Father, I suppose Miss Isabel reminds you of Lord Wilt's daughter?" The Duke of Richmond deliberately did not mention Anne Boleyn's name, but only indirectly used the title of Anne's father.

"Well, your language is decent, and this was taught to you by Miss Isabel?" Henry VIII continued to smile, and his mood improved as a result.

The Duke of Richmond nodded and walked back to his seat, "Father, may I sit down?" ”

"Sit down, it's not in the court."

"Father, would there be some injustice to Miss Isabel in doing this? Well, I want to give her some compensation, just like my mother and her husband did. ”

The Duke of Richmond's biological mother, Elizabeth Blunt, was in the lady-in-waiting of Queen Catherine of Aragon when Henry VIII had a relationship with her and gave birth to the Duke of Richmond. Henry VIII was pleased with the birth of an illegitimate child and gave his birth mother in marriage to Gilbert Talbois, son of Sir Thomas Talboys.

Not only was it granted to her husband, Baron I of Talboys, Cam, but she also gave them the estate in Roqueby, Warwickshire, and even granted Blunt a lifetime interest in a large part of her husband's property.

Henry VIII sat comfortably again, leaned back in his chair and looked at the bastard, "Henry, you want me to marry Miss Isabel?" ”

The Duke of Richmond hesitated and shook his head slightly, "If she were to give her a marriage, she would probably leave my castle under the pretext of overseeing the affairs of her husband's domain." Father, I think you could give her father a title of nobility and some land. In this way, her family can continue to work for me while still being continued. ”

"Well, then, what about the question of marriage?"

"Father, it's up to Mary to give birth to a male heir for me."

"Okay. If she wants to marry a nobleman, you don't have to stop her. After she gets married, you can still let her be your lover. ”

———————————

From the beginning to the end of the grand dinner of kings and queens, Isabel, who was summoned by Henry VIII alone, was always the center of attention among the nobles and ladies present. Gentlemen, knights, and nobles were somewhat unimpressed, but their wives did their best to befriend her.

Those who know her should try their best to show their familiarity and partnership with her. Most of those who don't know her get acquainted with her through other people's introductions. Another important reason for this is that she has a relationship with His Majesty's new queen as a female partner.

It would be a great boast if she could send her own daughter into the court to become the queen's lady-in-waiting or lady-in-waiting. After all, young aristocratic women who were able to hold court positions were always the envy of the people.

Eventually, Isabel escaped from the encirclement of these village ladies, only to crash headlong into the sight of Henry VIII's new queen. Catherine Howard tweeted that the inside of the castle was too stuffy and wanted her to accompany her for a walk outside the castle.

Her Majesty the Queen was to go for a walk outside the castle, and the Minister of the Court, who was in the Queen's Palace, was to follow her with a large number of servants who served her full-time, such as maids-in-waiting, lady-in-waiting, and private secretaries. If she wants to listen to some music or songs while walking, she needs to be accompanied by a court musician.

At this moment, it was already dark after sunset outside Sharif Hatton Castle, and Isabel suggested that she go to the top floor to enjoy the night view and moonlight in the north. Catherine saw through the window at the end of the corridor that the world was pitch black, and she had no choice but to agree.

Led by the lady-in-waiting, Lady Rochford, and a lady-in-waiting, guided by Isabel, ascended the stone staircase to the top floor of the castle. When the group reached the top floor, a dozen or so sergeants on duty immediately saluted their new queen and showed great loyalty.

Isabel led the new king to the south near the short concave and convex wall. Catherine looked up at a bright moon in the sky, "Isabel, it seems that the hope of letting you into the court to accompany me has been disappointed again. ”

Isabel glanced at her calmly, "Your Majesty, are you still lonely now?" ”
