In his past dealings, William Parr had told a lot about his family's ancestors out of Isabel's curiosity. For example, when his ancestors were born in Günt, Flanders (in present-day Ghent, in the Kingdom of the Netherlands/Kingdom of the Netherlands), and why he was called "John of Gaunt" (at the time, nobles were often referred to by their place of birth).

And his ancestors fought extremely valiantly in the battle for the throne with the Kingdom of France (the Hundred Years' War between England and France), and in addition to his military talents, he was also a capable diplomat. In what year, month and where a peace agreement was concluded with Scotland. In what year, month, and where, he married the daughter and heir of the Duke of Lancaster, and since then he has created great deeds such as the Lancaster dynasty.

William Parr didn't want to talk about the deeds of his ancestors that will always be remembered by the world. Perhaps it was the Earl of Surrey, the eldest son of the Duke of Norfolk III, the court minister (who always flaunted that he had been a descendant of the royal family) that alerted him to the fact that such an act of proclaiming himself a descendant of the royal family might lead to some unexpected trouble.

It's just because Ripley's Baroness Isabel Walton is not an ordinary aristocratic woman, and she has a close relationship with her, and she is the aristocratic woman he loves and wants the most at present (if William hadn't met Isabel first, his lover would have been Queen Catherine's unmarried maid Elizabeth Brooke). That's why he tells a little bit about the 200 years ago when he is alone with Isabel.

At this moment, Isabel is dissatisfied with William's thoughts and behaviors of not working hard and not being motivated, and hopes that William can change the current situation through his own efforts and her assistance. Moreover, William's compromise and concession attitude in the face of his wife's scandal also made Isabel a little indignant.

As soon as he finished speaking, he spoke like a cannon, "William, you have told me that your ancestors had great military talents and excellent diplomatic skills, and later became the court regent of the young Richard II, the last monarch of the Plantagenet dynasty. Compared to your ancestors, I have not seen in you any of these things that can be praised. ”

The Earl of Essex put down the handguard sword in his hand, and his eyes became a little dark, "Yes, the eldest son of my ancestors founded the Lancastrian dynasty (Henry IV, the first monarch of the Lancastrian dynasty). It's just that... It's just been a long time. Now, and again, it will never be possible to return to the Lancastrian dynasty. ”

"Even if you don't talk about your ancestor, the Duke of Lancaster, then you should remember what kind of monarch the Duke's eldest son, Henry IV, was. You have also said that Henry IV was a great monarch who was physically strong, knightly prolific, pious, erudite, talkative, and good at music. Isabel spoke tirelessly, and at the end she threw out a sentence that would make all the male nobles burst into manhood, "William Parr, honorable Lord Essex, if I were you, I would have sent myself to heaven with the sword in your hand." I don't know, what face do you have to face your ancestors who dwell in the kingdom of heaven? ”

"Isabel, I... I don't want to argue with you about that. William was so angry with her that his face began to change a little, but he still maintained the reserve and indifference of the aristocracy.

"Very well, since you don't want to argue with me, then use your sword to teach me a lesson. Perhaps, you can use your sword to keep me shut this mouth forever. Isabel sneered, and slowly lowered her arms in front of her chest and walked in front of the other party.

Until she walked very close to the other party, William still did not raise his right arm holding the handguard sword, but just looked into her eyes a little timidly, "If it were another nobleman, I would bravely raise the sword in my hand." But, you... You are Isabel Walton, one of the most special aristocratic women I have ever known. ”

Isabel looked at him coldly, "You have given your ancestors a taste of shame, shame, cowardice, and so on that they are not worthy of being a knight. William, you don't have even the slightest qualification to be a noble earl! ”

"Enough! Isabel, if you go on again, I... I'll ignore our friendship......"

"Well, yes. Tell me, what will you do to me?? ”

William felt as if he was about to be enraged, but he was still trying to control his emotions. Isabel clasped her hands behind her back, looked at the saber in the other party's hand with cold eyes, and said with a sneer: "Now, I will immediately send someone to tell the officials and merchants of Plymouth that I am going to duel with you!" ”

Then, as always, he said calmly: "If you refuse to duel with me, I am sure that everyone in the court will know that you are a cowardly bastard!" A descendant who is always a mongrel (after the overthrow of Henry VI, the great-grandson of John of Gaunt, Henry VII, the descendant of one of his illegitimate sons, regained the throne and founded the Tudors)! ”

When he heard the word "mongrel", William Parr was finally completely enraged. Suddenly raised his right arm, waved the saber in his hand, and recklessly slashed at the left side of Isabel's neck. Like lightning and stone fire, I saw Isabel with her hands behind her back suddenly dodge to the left, and turned 360 degrees to avoid the other party's slash.

When she stood on the right side of the other party's body, she didn't take any kind of counterattack, and still said calmly, "Go on." ”

When William withdrew his arm and turned to face the other party again, Isabel said coldly again, "Now, I am your wife, kill me with your sword!" ”

William's face became extremely ugly, he raised his arm and pointed the tip of the sword at Isabel with his handguard stabbing sword, gritted his teeth and said, "Very good, I promise to duel with you!" However, I have one condition. ”

Isabel turned around with her hands behind her back, and nodded to her side facing the other person, "Say it." ”

"The outcome of a duel does not end with the killing of the other party."

"Very well, I promise you."

When she stood on the right side of the other party's body, she didn't take any kind of counterattack, and still said calmly, "Go on." ”

When William withdrew his arm and turned to face the other party again, Isabel said coldly again, "Now, I am your wife, kill me with your sword!" ”

William's face became extremely ugly, he raised his arm and pointed the tip of the sword at Isabel with his handguard stabbing sword, gritted his teeth and said, "Very good, I promise to duel with you!" However, I have one condition. ”

Isabel turned around with her hands behind her back, and nodded to her side facing the other person, "Say it." ”

"The outcome of a duel does not end with the killing of the other party."
