The rebellion a few years earlier had brought a tragic end to the lord of Darlington Castle and many of his retainers. The nobles and wealthy of Darlington and its vicinity were wiped out by a death warrant of His Majesty, and the land and property were taken back by the royal family and presented to the newly knighted knights, new gentlemen and jomannon who served His Majesty the king.

Now, the restored town of Darlington is back to its former glory. A Yomannon, who had grown up after the rebellion, came to the market today as usual to inspect his livestock business, and it happened that he was confronted with this duel of honor. Unexpectedly, Yomannon, who had been waiting for a long time for this honor duel, saw nothing.

When he was driven away from the duel by the guards of the town guard, he couldn't help but feel a strong sense of contempt for the man and woman who participated in the duel but had it canceled. He said loudly to the servants who had come with him, "I thought I could see a good duel. After watching it for so long, I realized that it was a young man and woman who were cheating on me talking about their love here. ”

Yomanon walked away slowly, in a louder tone, and more and more in the content of his speech, which was taboo in Catholicism. Eventually, his utterly humiliating words reached the ears of some people.

"What is that Yoman talking about?" Isabel glanced at Yomannon, who had not yet left the clearing, and inquired of Sir Herbert's guard.

"I'm sorry, Miss Isabel, that guy just drank some more ale." The knight's guard glanced at her, not daring to speak to her the filthy foul language that Jomanon had come of.

"Really? But I didn't hear drunk talking. Isabel stared closely at Yomanon's back, and suddenly took a step and chased in the direction of Yomanon.

John Neville, who had been coaxed into tears by his uncle William Parr, had completely forgotten the unhappiness and anger with his uncle just now. He was about to ask his uncle about some of the customs of Northamptonshire, when he saw Isabel walking towards the west side of the clearing without looking back.

"Godmother......" John cried out in the back, and seeing that Isabel ignored him, he had to look at William, "Uncle, do you know where Godmother is going?" ”

"Uh, I don't know. John, you stay with Sir and I'll take a look. William nodded at Sir Herbert, "Sir, my nephew, please take care of it." ”

"Miss Isabel, where are you going?" William shouted, stepping forward and chasing after the young woman he admired, sword in hand.

At this time, Isabel stood on the road where Yomanon left and blocked the other party's path, "Hey, Yoman, I'd love to hear what you just said about me. ”

Yomanon also got to know today from a farmer who had little knowledge but was very proficient in animal husbandry and land speculation. Pacing back and forth with great interest, admiring Isabel's body from head to toe, he frowned and said, "Young woman, originally I came to watch a wonderful duel. But what did the young man say to you that would make you give up the duel? ”

Then, while glancing at the other party's chest and buttocks out of the corner of his eye, he nodded, "I guess, you must have taken a fancy to that poor bastard." Young and beautiful woman, it is better to follow me if you fall in love with a poor bastard. Perhaps, when I am happy, I will reward you with a few shillings. ”

"Hahaha......" the servants beside Yomanon and the other men dressed as Yomanon laughed wickedly. Isabel glanced at the group of rich people in the countryside, and said quietly with a crooked corner of her mouth, "Well, you want to buy my body for a few shillings, and by the way, give birth to an illegitimate child for you?" ”

"God forbid, I have not thought about illegitimate children. Unless, you're willing to wait forever for me to be a respectable gentleman, how about that? ”

"So, dear Yoman, you want me to follow you. Why don't you say hello to my buddy first? As soon as she finished speaking, Isabel reached out and drew the short sword on her left waist, and with a lightning dance, she pointed the tip of the sword down.

When the blade of a viper's short sword was faintly visible and pressed against the outside of her right elbow, she rushed forward in one step, grabbed the clothes on Yomannon's chest with her left hand, and pressed the blade of her short sword against the skin of the opponent's neck exposed in the air with her right hand. With a smile still on his face and his lips squirming, "How's it going?" That's my buddy, say hello. ”

The stunned Yomanon squinted at his neck, he didn't see the sword body but obviously felt a cold blade-like thing pressing on his neck, and looked at the other party calmly, "What do you want?" ”

"I'm sorry I didn't let you see a good duel just now. Now, I've changed my mind and intend to continue this honor duel."

"Woman, what the hell do you want to do?"

"I'm telling you, because you insulted me with very dirty language, I decided to have a life-and-death duel with you."

The frightened Yomannon's eyes widened, and he hurriedly yelled at the servant beside him, "Fool, pull this woman away." ”

A few servants saw that their master was being coerced, but you look at me, and I see that you dare not move. One of the middle-aged servants finally mustered up the courage to point at Isabelle, "Woman, let go of your lordship." If... If you don't let your lord go, we will hand you over to the county bishop and sentence you to be burned at the stake. ”

When William Parr ran to the scene, he looked at the hostage-taking scene and hurriedly walked up to Isabel, "Miss Isabel, what happened?" Why would you do this to a yoman? ”

"You can ask this Yoman what kind of indecent words and deeds he uses to describe me." Isabel didn't even look back, and her right hand holding the sword unconsciously added a little more strength to the opponent's neck.

At this point, Yomanon felt his skin crush from the sharp blade. Glaring at William who rushed over, he hurriedly shouted: "Young man, this woman is a witch, catch her quickly." ”

First humiliated by the other party with filthy language, and then slandered by the other party as a witch, Isabel's inner anger suddenly exploded. The left hand pushed forward, and at the same time, Yomanon released his left hand, stretched out his right leg, and kicked the opponent's stomach upwards.

Yomanon couldn't dodge and was kicked to the ground, and Isabel rushed forward. With her legs pressed against her opponent's chest, her right hand holding a short sword across their necks, she wanted to let Yomanon witness her own throat being slit.
