The morning light slowly kicked off, and it was another gorgeous and colorful summer morning, bringing freshness to the world. The fresh air not only makes people feel refreshed, but also makes everyone who wakes up in the morning feel refreshed to face the bright day. At this time, the Duke of Richmond, dressed in a magnificent duke-rank dress, was riding comfortably on his horse, turning his head casually to look at a natural lake that winds to the left side of the road.

Looking at the breezy lake, the Duke of Richmond recalls a conversation he had had at Surrey Manor a few days earlier. The Duke of Richmond did not get the answer he wanted from his Privy Counsellor about the signing of the Greenwich Treaty between Britain and the Soviet Union.

The Duke of Richmond, with a somewhat solemn expression, rode his horse and jogged as he thought to himself, "If the Scots really want to tear up the treaty, when will it begin?" ”

"Now that the treaty has just been signed, it probably won't happen in the next few months."

Isabel once mentioned that Mary Stuart's mother, Queen Mother Guise, would prevent her daughter from marrying Prince Edward. Perhaps the biggest trouble, then, comes from the Queen Mother. ”

"If someone is sent to assassinate the queen mother, won't her daughter be able to marry Prince Edward smoothly?"

When the Duke of Richmond thought of this, his emotions became a little excited. Raising his eyes at the guards and the two standard-bearers in front of the group, he suddenly tightened the reins and stopped the horse. The guards at the back of the line stopped when they saw him stop. In a few moments, the entire procession of the Duke came to a halt on the road.

"Keep walking, leave me alone." The Duke of Richmond suddenly said something mindless to the others around him, then turned his horse and galloped away towards the second procession less than a mile behind him. Although Fast and the others beside him didn't know where he was going or what he was doing, Fast believed that the Duke's actions must have something to do with Isabel.

As expected, the Duke of Richmond rode his horse to a halt when he galloped outside the group of Lady Surrey behind. Turning the horse's head again, he walked on the side of the luxurious carriage in the procession. While trusting the horses, the Duke squinted at the two noble women in ceremonial dresses in the carriage on the left, lowered his body and smiled and nodded at the two, "Lady Surrey, Miss Isabel, the weather is fine today, why don't you ride to Hampton Court Palace?" ”

Mrs. Surrey approached the car window, smiled and nodded her head and looked at the duke, "Your Highness, today is to attend His Majesty's wedding, so you must maintain the proper manners." ”

Isabel, who was a little anxious in her heart, also leaned on the window of the car, looked at the Duke of Richmond who was riding a horse leisurely and asked eagerly, "Your Highness, if Your Majesty asks me that the headdress and necklace I wear are not of the Baron's daughter level, how can I answer Your Majesty?" ”

"You can tell Your Majesty that you are not willing to spend hundreds of pounds on headdresses and necklaces." The Duke of Richmond, who was joking with her as the horses were bouncing up and down, played a joke with her.

"Really? Your Highness, if Your Majesty wants to arrest me and cut off my head after the wedding ceremony, you can now write to my father and ask him to prepare a coffin for me. Isabel said as if in a huff, and leaned heavily back in her chair.

The Duke of Richmond couldn't help but shake his head after listening to her patiently. Leaning down again to look at Mrs. Surrey in the carriage, "Mrs. Surrey, may I ride in the same carriage with you?" ”

Lady Surrey glanced at Isabel, who was sitting opposite, and then leaned closer to the window to look at the Duke of Richmond on horseback and smiled, "Of course, Your Highness, you have made a certain noble lady look a little unhappy. ”

The Duke of Richmond rode his horse and nodded to Mrs. Surrey in the carriage, quietly blinking his left eye, "Mrs. Surrey, I know. That's why I'm asking for your permission to ride in your husband's carriage with you. ”

A fine example of a Tudor royal palace in England and one of the most ornate buildings in England at the time, Hampton Court Palace in East Morsey, southwest of London, on the banks of the River Thames, is one of the most breathtaking palaces in the world today with its dreamy riverside views, awe-inspiring Renaissance gardens and incredible artistic standards.

Today, Hampton Court Palace is once again in the limelight of England's upper class and the general public, as his Majesty the King will be celebrating his sixth marriage here. Just after 7 a.m., the wide street of Hampton Court Palace, located on the west side of Hampton Court Palace, lined up in an orderly manner, waiting to enter the royal palace courtyard on the other side of the palace wall, which is made of red bricks.

In a short time, the Duke of Richmond's procession slowly entered the cautious fence gate of the palace wall. However, the Duke of Richmond did not appear in the team. Subsequently, the carriage and the Earl's procession of Lady Surrey, who attended the wedding of Henry VIII on behalf of the Earl of Surrey, also entered the courtyard walls.

As the procession marched solemnly along a straight road through a very wide lawn, Isabel Walton, who was sitting in the carriage, was immediately attracted by the scenery on both sides of the road. The Duke of Richmond, who was sitting opposite Isabel and Lady Surrey, leaned leisurely against the carriage and said with a soft smile, "Isabel, I know you've never been here, do you think it's beautiful?" ”

"God, isn't this miraculous building comparable to Buckingham Palace and Versailles in France beautiful?" Isabel pouted and looked at the Duke of Richmond, who was sitting across from her, "Your Highness, I don't think there is any royal palace other than His Majesty's Whitehall that can surpass the beauty of Hampton Court Palace. ”

When the carriage followed the procession in the curved square in front of Hampton Court Palace in the southeast corner of the palace, the three men stepped out of the carriage one after another. Isabelle's first sight is the main entrance to Hampton Court Palace, which is the quintessential Tudor design. Although it is only three stories high and does not have too much decoration, you can still feel the majesty and extraordinary spirit of the palace from the simple red brick building.

In an instant, Isabel developed a strong sense of jealousy towards her close friend. It is exciting and unforgettable for a young woman to have her wedding in such a luxurious, luxurious and quintessential royal palace.

The Duke of Richmond, who was accompanying her, looked at her distracted eyes, and then looked at the gate of the palace in front of her, which was simple and innocent, with a solemn royal spirit, and said softly, "Isabel, you want your wedding to be held here, don't you?" ”
