At sunrise the next day, Isabel and the others packed their bags, put their horses on the wheels of the carriage, and mounted their horses to continue their march in the direction of Southampton. Three or four hours later, the group arrived outside the Duke of Richmond's Goodwood estate. After lunch at the manor and a change of horses, we headed north to the small town of Windsor, Berkshire.

From Goodwood Manor to the small town of Windsor, it's only a short 51 miles (about 83.7 kilometers). So, on the afternoon of April 27, the group arrived outside the Duke of Richmond's estate in Windsor. Along the way, the maid Rose and several civilian gunners seemed to think of the question, "What kind of nobleman is this highness?" How can there be so many territories? ”

Is the Duke of Richmond's domain too much? Isabel felt that Henry Fitzroy, as a recognized bastard nobleman of Henry VIII, had to at least pocket all the royal realms in the north in order to be considered the highest-ranking nobleman with many territories. Moreover, this is in line with the status of the first great nobleman in England's history to hold a double dukedom.

Entering Windsor Manor, Isabel and the 10 guards from the north seemed a little casual. For most people, they have been to the estate more than once, and they feel that the atmosphere and living environment here are as comfortable as in the north. When the 10 wagons almost filled the open space in front of the guards' house, the guards who stayed in the house came out one after another to watch the various items loaded on the carriages.

A few guards who were more familiar with Isabel and guarded Windsor Manor walked beside her and asked curiously, "Your Excellency, what good things did you bring with you from the south for Your Highness?" How can there be so many? ”

Isabel glanced at the guards and smiled softly, "Marinated meat and marinated herring." ”

The guards were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly laughed, shouting one after another, "Your Excellency, there are these pickled foods anywhere in the kingdom, and Your Highness doesn't need you to buy them from the south and transport them back to the north." ”

"Well, if anyone goes with me to Lord Surrey's estate to-morrow, I'll tell him what's in the carriage." Isabel was a little tricky, deliberately making these guards who were still using cold weapons anxious.

While the guards were clamoring to go together, Isabel called Baldwin, who was directing the coachman to park the carriage, and as the two walked a few steps away, she whispered to each other, "Go and tell these people that no one is allowed to touch anything in the carriage." ”

Baldwin raised his head slightly and glanced at several guards who were standing not far behind the two, "Yes, Your Excellency. ”

"I'll bring the treasure chest I gave to Lady Surrey to the drawing room later."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

With that, Isabel left the area where the maid Rose was located, and walked towards a road to the south that led to the Duke's estate. Rose glanced twice at the houses of the guards and servants behind him, and as he hurried down the road with Isabelle, he looked at the road ahead, and said with some incomprehension, "Miss, there is still a long way ahead, why don't you ride over?" ”

Isabel stretched her arms and kicked her legs, and looked at her with a smile, "I want to feel the land of the kingdom with my feet." ”

"Oh, I see. Miss, you and the patriarch have been sailing for more than 6 months, and until now you still think you are on board? Ross was indeed very intelligent, and immediately thought of Isabel's overseas voyages.

"Rose, do you know why I'm willing to take you in? Because this one of yours is a little different from other maids. Isabel pointed to her head as she spoke.

The maid bowed her head a little shyly, "Miss, this is a gift from God, so I can only accept it." ”

The two walked along the road and soon came to the gate of the huge Gothic ducal manor. At this time, the male butler and the female butler who had received the news respectively led several male and female servants to stand in the small square outside the door and wait for her arrival. When the two butlers saw the two of them coming on foot, they were a little surprised but did not speak.

"Good day, miss." The two butlers and the male and female servants saluted and greeted Isabelle.

As Isabel walked towards the door of the duke's house, she unhurriedly instructed the housekeeper beside her, "Take my maid to freshen up and change her dress." ”

"Also, after dinner, prepare my bathing items and find a big bucket of milk with a sour smell."

"Miss, you... Want to take a bath?? The housekeeper was not only surprised, but also could not believe that Baron Walton's daughter would say such a somewhat crazy thing.

Isabel just smiled, "Well, that's what the doctor in Plymouth told me, and he said it would make me look more like a noble lady." ”

The housekeeper still didn't understand her words, but in view of the relationship between the daughter of the Baron of Walton and the Duke of Richmond, she agreed, "Yes, Miss, I will meet your request." ”

———————————

Shortly after 9 a.m. on 28 April, two guardsmen, each carrying a light rifle with a swallow-tailed flag embroidered with the coat of arms of Baron Walton I, galloped down the road. Isabel, dressed in a clean leotard dress, sat sideways on horseback and followed closely behind the two. Behind her, two horsemen hung an elaborate treasure chest from the saddle of one of the horses, and followed her down the road.

At this time, Lady Frances Howard, who had already received her reply, was eagerly awaiting her arrival. Sitting in the living room, he glanced at the French clockwork clock on one side of the cupboard, and said calmly, "Beth, go outside the gate to see if Lord Walton's daughter is here." ”

Beth, the maid standing behind her on the left, saluted and left the parlor with brisk steps. As he approached the door of the house, he heard the neighing of horses coming from outside the door. Hurriedly lifted her skirt and went to the square outside the door, and was delighted to see the person her employer was waiting for.

As Beth ushered Isabel and the two guards carrying the treasure chest into the drawing room, Lady Surrey smiled and stood up from her seat and stepped forward to salute, "Good day, Miss Isabel." ”

Today, Isabel, who changed into a baron's daughter-level bodysuit, had no choice but to curtble to Mrs. Surrey, "Good day, Mrs. Surrey. ”

After saluting and greeting each other, the two aristocratic women who followed aristocratic etiquette turned back into two female partners who talked about everything.
