Today is Monday, the first day after Mass on Sunday, and it is the day when all the work begins. Even though you can eat any meat throughout the day, you still have to go to work. Curiously, Bullbull Bull opened in the "King's Cup" tavern in Gunneside Village, and there were nearly 20 less toiling guests throughout the afternoon.

"Janet, tell me, do you have a crush on William, the eldest son of the Northamptonshire magistrate?" A guard of the Duke of Richmond propped his cheek with his hand and looked at the young tavern maid who had poured herself a glass of ale.

"James, don't forget who invited you and your partner to drink today, aren't you worried that there will be no wine to drink next?" Janet, the eldest daughter of the bull, who was responsible for the maid's work, was very sophisticated in dealing with the guards who drank a few more glasses of ale.

A colleague sitting next to James pulled down hard to cover his eyes as he fastened a hood that had been thrown on the wine table over his head. Then, standing up and pressing two elbows on top of James's head, he admired the tavern maid who had not yet left, "Janet, will you marry me?" I can assure God that I will let you live the life of a noblewoman. ”

"Marry you?" Janet was slightly stunned with the jug, then giggled and crossed her waist with her other hand, "I seem to remember that you are your father's fourth son." In the future, you may not even have half of James's property. ”

James, who was pressed down on the head, struggled to break free from the weight of his colleagues, pulled off his hood and looked at his colleagues with some annoyance, "Green, did you hear clearly?" Even if you crush me to death, Janet won't marry you. ”

Wei Cong Green, who had been laughed at by the two men, sat down with a sigh and continued to tell with a sad face, "It is God's will that I become my father's fourth son, and I cannot disobey it. Maybe ......"

"Green, you die of this heart, Janet won't take a fancy to you." Wei glanced at James and said nice things about Janet. Then, turning his gaze to the maid, "Janet, I am the second son in the family, and I must have more property than Green. Will you marry me? ”

Baldwin, who was sitting near another table, drank the ale unhurriedly and looked at his colleague sitting opposite, "Fast, you should go and ask William for a glass of ale and ask for his forgiveness." ”

Fast looked away from Janet's chest and glanced at him, "This kid hasn't said who his father is, and it can't be entirely my fault." ”

"Even if William won't say anything now, what will he do in the future? If he asks you for a duel because of today's events, will you fight? ”

"I... Of course I will. Can I refuse? ”

Baldwin shoved a glass of undrunk ale into his eyes, "Brother, I don't want to see you die in the dueling ring. For the sake of the title of 'Knight', in order to become a nobleman in the future, you must do this. ”

Fast let out a sigh, "Your Excellency won't be angry with me about this, will you?" ”

"Annoyed? Fool, do you think the annoyance will be worse than not having your recommendation? ”

"Okay. However, if you want to go with me, I am really afraid that I will not get your recommendation in the future. ”

After eating some roast beef, Isabel spoke her mind to William Parr's question, "I did this to prevent Barker's son, Carl, from causing a bigger problem in the county. ”

William looked at her suspiciously, thought about it, and then said, "Carl is just going to seek revenge on the enemy who killed his father." As for his revenge against the Governor of Peace and you, I am afraid it is only a momentary outrage. ”

"William, I hope you're right. But what if this personal revenge turns into chaos on a massive scale? At this moment, Isabel suddenly noticed that Guard's gaze from Fast was from time to time in her direction or William's.

Without thinking much about it, he still picked up his glass and took a sip of ale, "Your father is also a magistrate, and you should understand that the king hates chaos very much. ”

William, who was sitting with his back to Fast, could not have noticed what Isabel was seeing, but nodded, "Yes, I have often heard my father say that one of the most important requirements of His Majesty to the magistrate of the county is to control all kinds of chaos that appears in the county. ”

"You know, the king greatly appreciates duels of honor, or at least the king thinks of duels of honor as a kind of chivalry with courage and decisiveness? As a result, the local officials who served the king preferred to see a duel happen rather than chaos in the county. When Isabel finished speaking, she once again noticed Fast's eyes and beckoned to him, "Fast, come here." ”

"My God, Your Excellency is calling me over." When Fast stood up, he looked at his colleague opposite with a trembling voice, "Baldwin, please come with me to meet Your Excellency!?" ”

Baldwin stood up and whispered, "Remember, you owe me money for a glass of wine." ”

William was ignorant of what was happening behind him, and stared at Isabel with some surprise, "Your Excellency, how did you know these words of His Majesty the King?" ”

Fast took a glass of ale and accompanied by Baldwin to the side of the table where the two were sitting, and Isabel looked at the guy, "Fast, do you have any urgent business to tell me?" If... No, I wish I could know why you are offending me. ”

"Your Excellency, I... I don't dare to offend you, it's just... It's just—" Fast hadn't finished speaking, but Baldwin smiled and said to Isabel on his behalf, "Your Excellency, in fact, Fast is trying to ask for Mr. William Parr's forgiveness. ”

Isabel placed her right arm flat on the wine table, leaned back in her chair and glanced at the two guards to the right, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Until this point, Fast was still a little afraid to speak. Baldwin tugged at his sleeve before he mustered up the courage to stammer what had happened on the way to call for help. When he had finished, he shoved the glass full of ale in front of William, "Mr. William Parr, please forgive me for my rudeness to you, and I beg your forgiveness. ”

"Muddy balls!" Isabel laughed and scolded, "Fast, do you know why William doesn't want to tell his father's position?" ”

"Well, your Excellency, please say, I'm listening."

"William, tell him." Isabel ceded the right of disposal to William.

William had almost forgotten about it, and turned his head to look at the frightened guard, "Fast, I don't want to say my father's position or anything else, because I have my own reasons. ”
