Luxurious rooms, superb architecture, a symbol of nobility and elegance and a luxurious atmosphere. The daughter of Baron Walton I, from the backwoods of northern Yorkshire, admired the treasures in the room, felt the classical charm emanating from the palace, and comprehended the majesty and grandeur of the court.

"Jesus Christ, this place is so beautiful that it is impossible to describe in words. No wonder the wives and daughters of those nobles want to stay here forever! Isabel Walton exclaimed, turning her gaze to Her Majesty's lady-in-waiting, who was looking at her, "Well, Anne, may I call you that?" ”

With that, she felt a little regretful, and she found that there were several maids standing in a few corners of the parlor. Anne Parr shook her head slightly, "Isabel, it's okay. ”

Isabel nodded, then looked at the other again, "Yes, Anne, it is true that this is my first time at the court, and I love to be in such a beautiful place. Such a beautiful court can probably only be matched in God's paradise. ”

Anne Parr paid no attention to her compliments, even a little ignorance, after all, she had already been familiar with everything from her years of living here. Still sitting there unmoved, "Isabel, I have already told Her Majesty the Queen of your intentions. It's just, you know, Her Majesty the Queen is about to complete the wedding ceremony with Her Majesty, so there are a lot of things to take care of. ”

Isabel didn't expect her good buddy to meet her alone at this time, and nodded a little reservedly, "Anne, I know. If it were not possible for me to see Her Majesty the Queen, I could go back now. ”

"Isabel, you wait. Her Majesty doesn't have time to meet you, but you're still partners, right? ”

"Yes, Annie. However, this is the court, and I don't think it's suitable for talking about things between partners. ”

"Isabel, are you worried about anything? Are you worried that your father's title and your title are not qualified to stay here, or are you worried that your tiara and necklace don't match your dress? ”

"Annie, you've found out." Isabel looked at each other's big eyes and suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

Yesterday, when Madame Surrey went with her to the French clothing store in the city of London to buy women's dresses, Madame Surrey said to her a question that could not be ignored, "Isabel, you have God's blessing to buy a well-made baron's daughter gown." But you're missing a tiara and a necklace, you know? ”

Isabel, who was holding a very beautiful and adorable dress for aristocratic women, was a little stunned when she heard the words of the Countess of Surrey. Glancing at the few French dressmakers in the shop who looked at her from time to time with a strange look, then at Mrs. Surrey, who was standing in front of her with a somewhat serious expression, whispered, "My God, my tiara and necklace are still in Yorkshire, and I don't have time to go back and get them." ”

Mrs. Surrey walked to the side of the shop and looked at the several noble women's garments hanging on the hangers, pondered for a moment, and then returned to her eyes, and whispered, "You are my good companion, and I can lend you some of my jewels to wear." In addition, there is another way. ”

"What's the solution?" Isabel ignored the French dressmaker's eyes on her noble honor, and hurriedly asked.

Mrs. Surrey smiled and squinted at the jewellery shops outside the shop, "Now, you can go there and buy some more jewellery right away." ”

Isabel turned her head to follow her gaze and looked through the stained glass of the garment store at the jewelry stores across the street. After watching for a while, he smiled helplessly and turned his head again, "Frances, I have spent all my money to buy this dress. Now, I don't have the money to buy jewelry. ”

"Little fool, what about the money you brought to finance the fleet?"

"Buying ships, buying artillery, buying many, many things, and hiring sailors. Frances, it is not a very simple matter to take a few dozen people on an armed merchant ship. ”

Mrs. Surrey pouted, "In that case, I can only lend you some jewelry that I don't usually use." I hope that when you attend His Majesty's wedding, His Majesty and Her Majesty the Queen will not see anything. ”

At this moment, Isabel, who was in the meeting room of Her Majesty the Queen, told the lady-in-waiting a little about yesterday's events. Anne Parr, the lady-in-waiting, looked at her and blinked, then nodded, "That's fine. However, you still have to be careful what Your Majesty and Her Majesty the Queen see. ”

Isabelle's hanging heart still couldn't be put down, but she didn't want the lady's attendant on the other side to see anything, so she just nodded calmly, "Annie, I know." ”

Anne Parr squinted at the maids around her and whispered, "I know that the Duke of Richmond and my brother William are very good to you. Isabel, you... You can ask them for help. ”

When Isabel was previously the Duke of Richmond's bodyguard, she was comfortably rewarded by many dukes. But now, especially after her father had been granted a noble title and a domain, she thought she couldn't do it at will. As the daughter of a nobleman, casually accepting jewelry from male nobles outside the family can only tell one thing. That is, she volunteered to be the lover or potential wife of a male nobleman.

If the other party is an unmarried male aristocrat, it is okay to give her some jewelry. However, the two male nobles with whom she had a close relationship were already married. Inwardly, she was disgusted that she had become the lover of two married male aristocrats. Besides, she felt that she could own jewelry with her own ability.

Isabel didn't show her emotions, and smiled faintly as she looked at the lady-in-waiting, "I think I'd better ask Mrs. Surrey for help." Anyway, at the moment I can't accept everything that 'mistress' can get and other people call me that word. ”

Her words and attitude surprised Anne Parr, the sister of the Earl of Essex, and she took a sip of a glass of wine next to her and looked at her again, "Isabel, I know something about you and William from Her Majesty the Queen and my brother William. Do you believe that my brother is willing to divorce Mrs. Essex for your sake? ”

Sitting on a beautifully crafted court chair, Isabel felt her waist stiffen a little, leaned back slightly in the chair behind her, and looked at each other with a reserved smile on her face, "Annie, whether Lord Essex does this or not, I only know that it is his private act, and I have no right to interfere with him. ”
