After returning to Richmondshire, Isabel received a letter from the royal family only four months later. The letter says that Queen Jane Seymour gave birth to her son, Edward Tudor, on October 12 at Hampton Court Palace. The birth of Edward VI meant that Henry VIII and the English royal family finally had a male heir.

When Queen Seymour officially proclaimed "a prince born of a lawful marriage between His Majesty the King and me," the entire kingdom of England rejoiced, with churches singing "Hymns" and bonfires lighting to celebrate the birth of Edward VI. Richmondshire, a royal domain, and several other royal estates also celebrated the birth of the king's heir.

Just a few days after the celebrations in Richmondshire, Isabel, as the custodian of the royal domain, received another letter from the royal family. This time, the news delivered to the north was big bad news. Queen Seymour died of puerperal fever on the night of the 24th. The whole country was jubilant and then the whole country mourned, and from this month onwards Henry VIII wore mourning clothes for three whole years, and was not interested in any of the affairs of the kingdom.

From Queen Seymour's death until the summer of 1538, the following year, Isabel became the godmother of three knights and a noble child. At this time, she received a letter from Lambeth House in the City of London, written by Catherine Howard of the Norfolk family. As a result of a "good" contact between the two at the Earl of Surrey's estate last year, Catherine already regarded her as one of her eldest sisters.

In the letter, Catherine told her that her relationship with the Duchess's music teacher was over. With the departure of the music teacher, the Duchess's secretary, Francis Deeham, falls madly in love with her. In the development of this underground relationship, the two swore to each other their willingness to marry. Catherine also excitedly told her that the Duke's secretary had even entrusted her with his own property for safekeeping.

Isabel had no intention of telling anyone else about such a letter that would prove Catherine's rash behavior before her marriage to Henry VIII. She only asked Catherine in her reply if her love affair with the Duke's secretary was underground or if it was already known to many people. Catherine, who is in love, tells her that many of the female partners in Lambeth Palace know about it.

Now that the underground love has been exposed, her future husband, Henry VIII, will surely finally know through some means. Isabel did not express any opinion about Catherine's love affair with the Duke's secretary, she just waited and waited for the situation to develop. Time passed slowly, and the days passed day by day.

When the time came to March 1539, Henry VIII, who had been grieving the death of Queen Seymour for nearly three years, finally had the idea of marrying again. On January 6 of the following year, he and Princess Anne from the Duchy of Kreeves in Germany were solemnly married at the Plasenxia Palace in Greenwich.

Shortly after Henry VIII married a fourth queen, Isabel read in a letter from Frances, Earl of Surrey's wife, that the Duke of Norfolk III had secured a position as a court lady-in-waiting for Catherine, cousin of the Earl of Surrey. Frances told her that she couldn't believe that this poor cousin had become the lady-in-waiting of Queen Anne of His Majesty the King.

Isabel did not tell her about the political intrigue behind Catherine's becoming the new queen's lady-in-waiting. Instead, she told Frances in her letter that Goodwood's estate and estate had now reached its initial size after nearly three years of construction.

The Duke's residence was not only a Gothic Revival building, but also built around the Duke's residence for all kinds of needs, equipped with enough servants, means of production, and material materials. What's more, the territory has a racetrack, an archery field, a sword fighting training ground, and a forest that can be used for hunting events.

Lady Frances of Surrey was overjoyed to receive the letter and immediately wrote back to ask when she could come to Windsor to join her and her godson, Thomas, for a few days. Isabel wrote back to her and told her that she would have to wait for a response from Beard Smith Jr., the overseer of the estate and estate.

In early May 1540, the annual Ascension Day was celebrated again in the royal territory of Richmondshire. The spring breeze blows, and the birds singing everywhere seem to be celebrating this solemn festival. The local population has almost forgotten the rebellion that broke out four years ago, and the county is filled with laughter and laughter.

The festivities at Asker Manor begin in the morning, with young girls dancing barefoot on the damp garden meadows. Not only the young girls, but also several knight ladies and ladies are particularly eye-catching. Sir Ernest's wife, Caroline, and Sir Herbert's wife, Euphemia, happily danced the traditional northern dance.

Isabelle, Baroness Latimer, Catherine Neville, and Sir Alex Ferguson's wife, Maria, stood by and watched the young girls dance and talk merrily. The baroness happily glanced at Isabel beside her: "Today is Ascension Day, don't you need to go to the castle to accompany His Highness?" ”

Isabel glanced in the direction of Caroline and her sister and smiled, "Your Highness set off for Arundel Castle the day before the Ascension Day. ”

"So, the Duchess has been living in her father's castle since she married Her Highness?"

"Yes, the Duchess likes to live in the countryside of the south, and Her Highness has not had time to go to the south because of the affairs of the territory and the Northern Council, so he does not plan to meet with the lady until this year."

Baroness Latimer has been in close contact with Isabel for several years. Of course, part of the reason was that Isabel was the godmother of the baron's two children, but also because she felt that she shared many points of view or opinion with the children's godmother.

Baroness Latimer pondered the other party's words and joked with Isabel: "I guess that when Your Highness left Madame to live in the north when she got married, maybe it was for you, right?" ”

When Sir Alex Ferguson's wife Maria heard her words, she hurriedly leaned over: "Mrs. Latimer, what you said is true?" ”

Catherine Nevel glanced at Maria: "She has been with Her Highness since 1534, and the two have been together for 6 years this year, and I believe that the person Your Highness loves must be Isabel." ”

"6 years? My God, Isabel, do you really not want to get married? Maria said one thing that has been a concern for many people over the years.
