Dealing with a young French sergeant who wanted to "sanctify the heart" was not a difficult task for the Lady Ripley, who was accustomed to using tricks. However, the place to deal with the sergeant was not suitable. At the "suggestion" of the Baroness Isabelle Walton, the young sergeant and his companions led three "missionaries" and "monks" to the northeast coast of the square.

After walking a distance of 450 yards (about 411.5 meters), the group came to the outside of the Catholic Church of St. Nicholas Egris, on the coast. However, the young sergeant changed his mind again when confronted with a French church surrounded by hundreds of cemeteries. He told the "nun" Isabel that he would find a quieter place where no one else would disturb him and ask for the sanctification of his soul.

The nun agreed thoughtfully, but the two silent monks who followed the nun remained silent. The two sergeants did not expect to be so easy to convince the beautiful nun, and they guessed that the other must have been a lonely, lonely aristocratic daughter before becoming a nun. As for the two monks, who seemed to communicate in whispers and gestures all the time, they paid no attention to them.

So the two sergeants led the three religious people to a small courtyard on the east side of the church, which contained three houses and some green space and trees. Judging from the environment of the courtyard, the houses, and various living materials, it is probably a private residence for the clergy of the church to rest and relax.

The two sergeants, in their momentary excitement and enjoyment, did not think of a very serious question: why the three friars and nuns from the distant convent of Notre-Maria de Saint-Malo had acceded to their requests one after another. So much so that the three religious figures did not ask even the slightest question to the two of them after they came to the private residences of the clergy of the church.

On the east side of the courtyard, near the shoreline, in front of a house, the young sergeant pointed to the house in front of him and said reverently, "Nun, this is the priest's winery, and it is fitting for you to sanctify my soul." ”

Isabel knew all this, and asked contrivedly, "Sergeant, the wine cellar will only make us fall into temptation, and we will not be exempt from evil. ”

The young sergeant gripped the handguard sword at his waist, and his tone became a little tougher, "Nun, you must do this. ”

"Well, sergeant, I only hope that the Lord will forgive my sins." Isabel glanced at the two monks behind her and nodded slightly.

As Isabel obediently walked into the cellar with the young sergeant, the two monks waiting in the courtyard slowly lifted their faces hidden under the hoods. While Fast looked at the sergeant, who looked to be in his 30s, he glanced at Baldwin, his companion behind the sergeant. Baldwin reached out his right hand and patted the sergeant's shoulder.

When the sergeant naturally turned to look at the other party, Fast suddenly reached out and grabbed the hilt of the saber on the sergeant's left waist, "Poof! He drew his sword. Without waiting for the other party to react, he put the blade of the sword against the sergeant's neck and said in French, which he was not very proficient in, "Don't move!" ”

At the same time, when Isabel, who walked into the wine cellar, was about to take off her monk's uniform at the shameless request of the sergeant, she looked at the other party and said calmly, "Sergeant, you... Is it okay to turn around? ”

"Of course, nun." While imagining a wonderful scene, the young sergeant turned around and waited for the pure "Virgin Mary" to come to earth, with his arms folded on his chest.

Disguised as monks and nuns, Isabel and the others hid their handguard swords under the saddle before entering the port town. As a result, Baldwin and Fast did not have a single weapon on her, and she only had a short sword on her. At this moment, as the sergeant turned to wait for the wonderful moment to come, she quietly lifted the long hem of her monk's uniform and drew the short sword at her waist. Holding the short sword in his hand, he walked straight behind the sergeant, slowly raised his arm, and rested the blade of the dagger on the sergeant's neck.

———————————

The two sergeants who were tied to the pillars of the wine cellar looked at the three "religious people" with apprehensive eyes, and the young sergeant said in fear, "You... What do you want to do? ”

Isabelle, wielding a short sword, glared at the young sergeant with sharp eyes and replied in French, "Tell me, how many troops are there in the town?" Where to camp? ”

Another sergeant, struggling with his arms tied on the post, shouted, "Brother, don't speak! These monks and nuns must have been spies sent by the English! ”

Isabel looked calmly at the stubborn French sergeant, smiled and burst out from between her teeth, "Monks, it seems that the corrupt soul of this sergeant needs to be cleansed." You say, "Let him eat the flesh that has been cut off from himself."

What will happen? ”

Fast fiddled with the sergeant's saber and shook his head deliberately, "I think he should be skinned while he is still alive." ”

When the two sergeants heard each other's words, they felt that their scalps were about to explode. Skinning a living person and being forced to eat one's own flesh were some of the horrific and cruel punishments known in the Middle Ages. The young sergeant was so frightened that he was about to cry, and looked at Isabel urgently, "Nun, I say, I'll tell you everything I know!" ”

At this moment, the door of the wine cellar was suddenly opened, and a young man, also dressed in monk's robes, was immediately stunned by the scene before him. After two glances at the sergeant tied to the pillar, and then at the three clergymen with weapons in hand, the young monk turned and ran away.

"Quick, catch him!" Isabel immediately yelled at Baldwin and the others.

Baldwin and Fast rushed out of the cellar like a gale, armed with the sword of the French. Isabel frowned and paced back and forth in front of the two sergeants, the stubborn sergeant who would not give in to the invaders and said with a sneer, "Nun, don't you want to release us at once?" I'm telling you, our people will be able to find here soon. And then... And let you taste the taste of being peeled off. ”

Isabel turned around and glared fiercely at the arrogant sergeant, and without saying a word, she came to the sergeant, cut off a piece of fabric from the other's clothing, and then strangled the other's mouth with the cloth. When the sergeant could no longer speak, he immediately stabbed the sergeant in the left thigh with a short sword.

After piercing the opponent's thigh, he quickly drew the bloody blade of the sword, glancing at the sergeant who was in pain but unable to scream. She turned her gaze to the young sergeant on the other side and said calmly, "Now, tell me all the facts you know." ”
