Although the Renaissance ideology in the form of reviving ancient Greek and Roman culture has spread to this country. However, for the vast number of serfs, free peasants, or urban peasants, the "gentleman's education" was probably limited to the young children of members of the royal family, nobles, and wealthy merchants.

So, Isabel, who was clear in her thinking and logical language, surprised the janitor, who could hardly believe that a young woman who seemed to be from the same serf as himself could speak the language of a gentleman. Of course, her identity was determined by the butler Arthur Field, and there must be no mistake.

The illiterate janitor, of course, could not answer the other man's words, and blushed and argued, "Uh, uh, the sin you have committed is the responsibility of His Majesty. From the moment you left that land that was not yours, you committed a serious crime. ”

"Well, the laws made by the king. So, can you tell me specifically which law I violated? ”

"I... All I know is that you are a bountiful wandering beggar. ”

"Wandering and begging. So, do you think I'm begging you for food? ”

"I, I don't know. You filthy peasant, get to the stables. ”

"Thank you."

When Isabel turned to walk towards the stable, the janitor brought the oil lamp in his hand to the side of her face, stared at her buttocks hungrily, and said to himself, "This stinky bitch's ass is so beautiful, why doesn't her clothes cover it?" Well, she must have been a heretic who was not religious, did not recognize the bishop of Rome. ”

Just as Isabelle's left foot stepped into the stable, which was infested with plague germs, the janitor suddenly regretted it. As he ran, he called out to her, "You, stop!" ”

Isabel stopped, turned to look at him contemptuously, "Sir, is there anything else you have to do?" ”

"If I tell you the truth, and you're willing to sleep in the stable, I'll leave at once."

"Uh-huh, please continue."

"One of the lord's maids fell ill with the plague and died in the stables. If you spend the night in the stables, you're sure to get the plague. ”

"Hell, why are you only telling me now?"

"That's what Mr. Field meant, he just asked me to lead you to the stables."

Isabel frowned, thinking about what to do next. The janitor, who hadn't tasted a woman for too long, looked greedily at her beautiful boobs and whispered to one side, "Now, are you still willing to accept my advice?" ”

Isabel said coldly, "You still plan to let me trade my body for a clean bed and money?" ”

"Yes, you were originally a wandering beggar, and it was normal to exchange your flesh for some money to buy food."

"But I want to sleep in a clean, plague-free bed, but I don't want to sell my body."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you get out of here."

In an age of heightened polarization between rich and poor, thieves, robbers, wandering peasants, and beggars, sometimes a little force was needed to solve the problem, and the janitor naturally thought so. glared at each other fiercely and said, "Stinky bitch, are you insulting me?" ”

Isabel clearly felt the change in the atmosphere from the other party's tone, and still said calmly, "Please stay away from me." ”

"Hmph, I must get you tonight. Of course, I'll still pay you 5pence, which is the price you pay for selling your body. ”

"Are you sure, are you really going to do this?"

The janitor, who could no longer control his desires, suddenly threw away the oil lamp, put his hands on Isabel's neck, and said sharply, "If you don't agree with me, I'll throw you into the stable at once, and let you die a painful death of the plague." ”

Isabel had already guessed that the other party might want to make a move. At the same time as the other party grabbed her neck, her right hand had quietly taken out the outdoor folding knife in her trouser pocket. Then, with both hands, he quickly broke the folded blade.

Taking advantage of the darkness around him, he held the hilt of the knife in his right hand, and pressed the sharp tip of the knife against the opponent's carotid artery like lightning, and said calmly: "I will die if I suffer from the plague, and I will still die if you choke my neck, why didn't I choose you to die?" ”

The janitor was very sure that what was pressing against his neck at the moment was a cold, tingling metal dot. He guessed that the other might be holding a knight's dagger, and the tip of the dagger was against his neck.

But how could a wandering peasant and beggar have the dagger that only a knight could have? Well, this woman is not only a wandering beggar, but most likely a thief, a robber.

The janitor was indeed afraid, he was afraid that he would be stabbed to death by the female peasant if he was accidental. But he fantasized about capturing the woman alive and sending her to the local magistrate, Lord Lord Haswell, for perhaps a windfall.

Tempted by money, he began to be bold. His hands still grabbed the other man's neck and said, "Do you want to kill me?" I'm telling you, this is Nottingham Castle. As soon as I shout, the lord's knights will come and cut off your head with a sword. ”

Isabel said: "I believe this is true. Before my head is cut off, though, I'll be sure to cut off yours first. You can give it a try. ”

——————————

While the two were fighting each other with their lives, the castle's night watchman came to the stables. He knew about the janitor sending a woman to the stable to rest on the steward's orders.

But he didn't know what the janitor was doing in the stables. All he knew was that the bastard who was in charge of guarding the castle gates had been gone for a long time and had not returned to work.

When the night watchman was still a few paces away from the two men with the oil lamp, he found them standing motionless in the stables facing each other. To his horror, the janitor was holding the woman's neck with both hands, and the woman seemed to be holding an unidentified object against the janitor's neck.

The Night's Watch was so frightened by this strange scene that he almost threw away the oil lamp in his hand, and he didn't know whether to call the lord's squire or the lord's butler first. Standing not far away, he trembled and said to the two, "You... Stop. ”

Isabel had planned to coerce the janitor into leaving the castle safely, but unexpectedly, a night watchman suddenly appeared in the middle of the way. She turned her face and said to the panicked night watchman, "Hey, you, come here." ”

"You... Are you calling me? ”

"Uh-huh, don't worry, I'm not going to kill you."

"No, no, no, for God's sake, I'm going to inform the steward and the captain's guard at once."

"You're not going to do that."

"Why?"

"Because I killed you before you could scream."

The janitor turned his face and called out to the night watchman, "Hughes, come here, I have something to say to you." ”

The night watchman called Hughes hesitated for a moment, then carefully moved forward and said, "Are you going to make me her hostage, and you will go and inform Mr. Field again?" ”

The janitor shook his head and smiled and said, "No, I was about to tell you something very wonderful. ”
