Whether or not the other party was willing to go with her to meet the Duchess, Isabel would not wait any longer. With a confident smile on his face, he walked with two short swords in his hand from Carl Fawkes to the Duchess outside the dueling arena.

Her self-confidence was strong enough to ignore the enemy behind her, not afraid of the enemy piercing her chest and abdomen from the back with that cold-handed half-sword? Of course... No! Especially in the face of fierce, brutal, naïve, stupid and uncontrollable northern men, there is no reason for her to expose her weaknesses to the other party.

The moment she passed by Karl's side, Isabel quietly turned around and walked backwards towards the Duchess who was waiting for her. While walking backwards, he looked at the other party's back with a smile, always ready for a new round of fighting. Anyone with a little bit of brains can see that she is very defensive and very distrustful of the other party.

In order not to show Carl that she was still highly defensive of him, she even thought of an excuse for her to go backwards and leave. At this time, everyone outside the audience felt a little strange about her behavior, and the Duchess did not know what to say when she saw her behavior. And the guard, who was beside Mary, gave Fast a look to William Parr, the most educated person standing on the side, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing?" ”

William crossed his arms around his chest and touched his cheek near his mouth, and smiled lightly, "Your Excellency is on guard against that kid secretly attacking her." ”

Fast nodded in realization, "Well, I see, Your Excellency doesn't trust this guy. ”

"Do you think this kid can be trusted?"

"Not to be believed, this kid's father is a barbarian, and I think he's pretty much the same."

After Fast finished speaking, William was about to laugh when he saw Baldwin frowning and shaking his head at himself and Fast. William lowered his head slightly, pretended to touch the sides of his upper lip and whispered, "Fast, we'll talk when we get back to the castle." ”

Isabel had just taken four or five steps backwards when Karl on the field turned around as she expected. She glanced at the other party's hand with a half-sword, and slightly curled the corners of her lips to reveal the beautiful, mature and noble smile of a noble woman. Karl was a little stunned, and finally said hesitantly: "Your Excellency, you... You're walking backwards.

"Oh, I know, because I'm waiting for your reply." As Isabel finished speaking, she felt that she was already close to the people outside the court, so she slowly turned around and walked towards the Duchess. Come to Mary and salute, "Good day, Duchess." ”

Mary nodded in response, then glanced at Carl, who was still standing in the arena behind Isabel, and asked softly, "Your Excellency, what were you doing just now?" ”

"Duchess, I think I am still a sinner who needs to beg the Lord Jesus Christ to have mercy on me. So, until the Lord forgives my sins, I believe that my body cannot be resurrected yet. ”

Mary glanced at her when she saw her mouth full of Catholic scriptures. As the two walked to the side, Mary whispered to the other, "Isabel, today's Mass ended in the morning, why are you still reading the scriptures?" ”

Isabel turned to stand a little behind the Duchess to the left and looked at Karl in the field, "Today is the Sunday before the birth of Michael's Day, and I don't want the smell of blood from the duel to ruin the celebration... That feeling of pleasure. ”

"Well, what I'm trying to say is, what are you doing for this duel?"

"Mary, this duel is like this...... Isabel recounts the massive skirmish that took place in the village of Quekpat and the killing of Carl's father.

"Well, you're doing the right thing, it's just that this young man is some... Stupidity. Mary nodded and mentioned her arrival again, "Later, how did the duel stop?" Is it because of me? ”

After temporarily freeing herself from the threat from Karl, Isabel turned her attention to the well-disguised longbowman thief. Glancing into the crowd on the left, she saw that the longbowman thief was still standing beside Sally Cooper, and then she seriously said to Mary, "Mary, I have no hatred for this man named Carl. It's just that now I want you to go back to the castle immediately. ”

"Well, back to the castle, are you saying that this duel will be dangerous for me?"

"No, Mary, there is a greater danger lurking among these onlookers at this time."

Mary couldn't help but look at the civilians behind her and to her side, and she couldn't see anything in the simple, unintentional faces. Then, he turned his head back to look at the other party, "Isabel, I don't see danger, I only see countless faces that have surrendered to His Highness. ”

Isabel began to worry that the Duchess's actions would make the longbow thieves choose to flee at this time, and looked at the Duchess as she quickly thought about her countermeasures, "Mary, if you believe me, you have to follow my arrangement from now on, is that okay?" ”

Mary looked at her serious face, "Yes. However, I need to know what exactly the danger you are referring to? ”

"Within these subjects who are subject to His Highness are hidden a few or a dozen felons guilty of stealing, plundering, and murder."

"Felons? Isabel, you... Are you serious? Mary, with a look of horror on her face, couldn't believe her words.

"Well, I'm not kidding anymore." Isabel sensed that there was no time, and hurriedly glanced at Baldwin, Fast and William, who were a few steps away.

At the same time, Matthew's accomplices looked nervously at the Duchess a few times, and then whispered in Matthew's ear, "I think the woman who killed the leader has discovered us." Matthew, let's get out of here. ”

"Leave? No, let's go over and call the others. ”

"What do you say? Do you want to be caught by the great nobles of this county? ”

Matthew glanced at Sally standing in front of him, "As long as we have her, we don't have to worry about getting caught." ”

At this point, it was probably too late to take surveillance, and Isabel decided to take the initiative. No matter how many people there are on the other side, no matter what, you must catch the middle-aged longbowman first. As the crowd gathered around her, she ordered, "Baldwin, you have your lady escorted at once, and then a security patrol here to follow me." John, you and I go. ”

John seemed to see something in her face, and looked at her as he walked beside her, "Godmother, where are we going?" ”

Isabelle, after spotting several men dressed as businessmen walking in her direction, simply said calmly, "John, now is the time for you to fulfill your duties. ”
