Chapter 494: Hatred

Looking at William Parr and his nephew John Neville, who had walked away a few steps, the flag guard stood in place with a spear hanging a spear flag from Fast's arms and chest, and quietly squirmed his lips at Baldwin beside him, "The eldest son of the nobleman has no name of his own until now?" Baldwin, do you know what that means? ”

"Come over here." Baldwin tugged at his wide sleeve and glanced at the other guards, who took a few steps in opposite directions. Baldwin glanced at William and the others, who were still talking in a low voice, and said to Fast and the others in front of him: "Listen, I need you to swear to God first, and no one can tell anyone what I have to say to you. ”

Fast smiled disapprovingly, "Brother, I can't think of anything more important than that of His Highness and the Duchess. ”

As the other guards nodded their heads in approval, Baldwin's expressions became serious, "John's matter will affect his noble honor in the future. What you don't know is that John was a cruel boy who suggested that all the thieves should be killed when he was in the monastery. ”

Baldwin paused as he said this, and Fast nodded thoughtfully, "I remember, this kid did say that he killed prisoners. Brother, do you mean that if he thinks that his noble honor has been humiliated in the future, he will find someone who has humiliated him?! ”

"Well, that's right. So, before I tell the truth, I need you to swear. ”

"All right, brothers, swear by it." Fast glanced at the guards.

When several people solemnly swore an oath, Baldwin whispered as he looked at John's back, "John admits that he doesn't have a name of his own because his father, Lord Latimer, doesn't value him at all." ”

Fast snorted softly, "Brother, there are many nobles in the north whose eldest sons do not have their own names, but use their father's name. Could it be that these northern nobles don't value their eldest sons? ”

"Fast, John is not the eldest son of the other northern nobles. I have heard your Excellency say one thing inadvertently, that Lord Latimer has appointed his wife, Mrs. Latimer, as the guardian of his daughter, and is responsible for all the family and financial affairs of the Lord. ”

"It's... It can't be, right? John, the boy, had no authority to handle all his father's affairs? It was then that Fast believed what had happened to John for a long time.

Baldwin calmly looked at the way John was talking to William and shook his head, "Actually, all the problems are caused by his sister. Lord Latimer's favorite child was John's sister Margaret. ”

Fast pondered and then asked, "I remember John's sister seems to be called... Clara, huh? ”

"I think that's his father's affectionate name for his sister, and Clara's adult name is Margaret."

By this time, William's conversation with John had come to an end. William didn't expect his second brother-in-law to be so indifferent to his eldest son, and gently patted John's thick shoulder, "Maybe your father has his own reasons?" ”

John looked at the ploughed fields in the distance and said coldly, "Reason? Uncle, do you believe that a northern nobleman would not like his eldest son. ”

"John, even if your father loves your sister too much, you can still inherit your father's title in the future, can't you?"

"Perhaps, this is the only benefit I have as Lord Latimer's eldest son."

"John, don't think about it anymore. Now, what you have to do is to follow your Excellency and work hard to learn various knightly martial arts. If we go to war with the Highlanders in the future, you will be able to earn the title and honor of Knight. ”

John Neville once again pulled the hammer with the armor-piercing cone from his waist and slammed it out of thin air, "Now I just want to grow up quickly, but I can't do anything. That's why I thought of joining the security forces to dilute my hatred for Lord Latimer with blood and fighting. ”

William Parr realized that his nephew's current thoughts were dangerous. However, he had no better way to let his nephew get rid of his hatred for his biological father, so he could only change his attitude to a more moderate attitude, "John, do you know your thoughts about joining the security army?" ”

"I don't know, I haven't had time to tell my godmother yet."

"I think you should have decided before telling Your Excellency. If you had known your reasons for joining the vigilantes, I am sure she would not have agreed. ”

"I can not tell my godmother what I think." John seemed to have a plan.

"John, you won't forget that your stepmother and Your Excellency are close companions, will you?" William thought he should be reminded in due course.

How long later, when Isabel returned to the place where the party was resting with two guards and a falconer, she noticed that William and her godson had walked far away and seemed to be talking to something. Since the two had their backs in the direction of entering the village, Isabel had no way of knowing what they were talking to.

Baldwin touched Fast's arm, "Hurry up, Your Excellency is back." As several of the people present walked in the direction of the team, Fast yelled in the direction of William and the others: "William Parr, Your Excellency is back!" ”

Isabel looked suspiciously at William and his godson who had returned, "William, you and John go and find a few people to follow the falconer back and put the falcon in a cage and put it in the carriage." Then, together with the falconers, the carriage was driven outside the village. ”

As William and John followed the falconers into the village with a few guards, Isabel called Baldwin to her side, "What just happened?" ”

Baldwin replied, "Mr. Neville talked to us about his idea of wanting to join the vigilante army, and later... Later..."

Isabel knew something must have happened as soon as she saw his expression and conversation, and smiled lightly, "Baldwin, lying is not a knight's virtue. Say, I won't blame you. ”

"Your Excellency, what happened just now is ......" Baldwin gave her a rough idea of what had happened before, and emphasized the issue of making Fast and the others swear.

"yes, I see. You know, it's John's family affair, and we as others should try not to talk about it. ”

Baldwin nodded solemnly, "Yes, Your Excellency, I also asked of the few of them in Fast. ”

What happened to young John was puzzling even to the well-informed Isabel. Looking in the direction of entering the village, he sighed slightly, "Let me deal with it, and said to Fast and the others that this has never happened, understand?" ”
