After dinner, the men went about doing what the men were supposed to do. John Neville, who was only half a man, followed Sir Herbert and his uncle to the castle armory and library to explore a new world. As for the women, Madame Sir and Isabel, they led their eldest son Charles, the nanny, and the maid to a rectangular garden behind the main building of the castle.

Euphemia Frederick became more and more aloof and reserved during her years as Madame Jazz. Today, the arrival of her sister Isabel has restored some of the liveliness and cuteness of some of the unmarried girls of yesteryear. In fact, Yufemiaa is only 20 years old this year. But in Isabel's eyes, the 20-year-old lady is still a female college student who has not even graduated from college.

Compared with the image of a nanny like a mother, the baby maid is more like the image of an older sister, which is very popular with Charles, who is only two years old. Because baby maids are responsible for playing with the children, taking walks, dressing the children, cleaning the children's rooms, and assisting with the babysitter, little Charles is generally willing to stay with the young baby maids.

At this time, little Charles was laughing and joking in the garden in the company of the baby maid. The nanny, who was responsible for upbringing and caring for the children, and supervising the children's room and the babysitter, walked slowly two or three paces behind the two, not daring to relax for a moment in the supervision of Madame Sirrel's children and the babysitter.

And Charles's biological mother, Euphemia, is like the chairman of a group company in the position of controlling everything. The nanny is a chief executive, the babysitter is the general manager in charge of the day-to-day affairs, and the three young girls, who are not yet 60 years old, are responsible for turning a child into a respected knight or nobleman.

Dressed in leot-tights, Euphemia and Isabel were far behind, staring at each other with a girlish smile on their maturing faces, "Sister, you said to Mr. Parr before dinner, 'I've been lucky enough to know you. What does 'it mean?' ”

Isabel put her hands on either side of the belt around her waist and flicked her legs to look around, "Oh, uh, Catherine told me that she was going to introduce me to William. ”

"Giggle...... Is Mrs. Latimer introducing her brother to a future wife? Euphemia didn't plan to keep what she wanted to say to herself.

Isabel squinted at her sister and pursed her lips, "Even if Mrs. is willing, I'm afraid my father and mother won't agree, right?!" ”

"That's true, my father won't approve of you marrying a guy who doesn't even have the title of knight." Euphemia sighed and said, "This William is not too young, and he hasn't even obtained the title of knight. ”

"He is Catherine's younger brother and the second child in the family. What's more, his family is in the central county of Northampton. In any case, the central kingdom was much more peaceful than the north. Therefore, he is not responsible for almost all affairs. ”

Speaking of the youngest child in her family, Euphemia smiled with interest, "How is Alver doing now?" ”

"Very well, still serving as Sir Alex Ferguson's knightly squire."

"Becoming a knight's squire is not far from being a knight. Sister, time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, even the troublesome Ernest became a captain of the guard. ”

"Yes, didn't you also become a mother and a respected Madame Frederick?"

Euphemia's gaze never took off her eldest son, Charles, who was playing in front of her, and she almost screamed when she noticed that Charles had accidentally fallen to the ground. Fortunately, the maid of the baby was in a hurry to help the eldest son up again. He put his mind back to chatting with Isabel again, "Since it is unlikely that you will marry William, who is young but has nothing, ...... what does Madame Latimer mean?"

Isabel also thought about it. If the factor of the relationship between men and women is excluded, there is probably only a utilitarian problem. Looking at the sun still hanging in the sky, he smiled leisurely, "Catherine is a very intelligent aristocratic woman, and it is impossible for her not to see the Duke of Richmond standing behind me. Effie, if you were a baroness, what would you think of your brother who has achieved nothing? ”

As soon as this explanation was given, Euphemia understood it all, and walked slowly and gracefully, "Use the nobles or noble women you have befriended to establish good relations with other nobles, and give some gifts to move a matter forward." ”

"Yes, I guess Catherine's purpose was to give William the opportunity to meet the Duke. Coupled with my partnership with her, I would definitely recommend William in front of the Duke. Isabel stopped, picked a small flower and sniffed the smell, "With my recommendation, William can immediately become the Duke's bodyguard." At the very least, he could live a life of food and clothing in the ducal palace. ”

"It seems that Madame Latimer is indeed a good, intelligent aristocratic woman."

"If she wasn't good, would Henry VIII make her queen of England?" Isabel swallowed, but swallowed the sentence back.

"Alright, let's not talk about Mr. Parr. Are my father and mother all right? And that guy Ernest, how is life with Caroline now? Euphemia shifted the conversation to her loved ones who deserved her attention.

Shortly after 8 p.m., Isabelle, John and William Parr bid farewell to Sir Herbert and the Lady Sir and left town with the Manor Guards on their respective horses. William, who rode on Isabel's side, was thinking about his own thoughts, and he planned to meet the Duke of Richmond the following day, Monday.

Soon, the group passed by the cattle and horse market and came to a fork in the road. There are several arrows on the signposts inserted on the side of the road: the arrow to the south means that you can go south to the village of Dalton, and then go all the way south to Baron Latimer's estate. The arrow to the west points to a road leading to Richmondshire, which leads to Nottingham Castle in Richmondshire.

"Hey, William, what are you doing?" Isabel said to William, who was preoccupied.

"I'm sorry, Miss Isabel, but I'm thinking about something." William hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say what was in his heart.

The innocent John sat in the saddle and moved his buttocks, giggling, "Uncle, are you thinking about how to get back to Latimer Manor before sunset?" ”

William smiled at his nephew and turned his gaze to Isabel on the side, "Miss, I have a request before returning to Latimer Manor. ”
