Henry Fitzroy, who inherited royal blood, found great spiritual satisfaction after offering his "first kiss" to a female petitioner. In fact, his kiss with Isabel Walton was just a courtesy kiss on the other's lips.

From this moment on, young Henry wanted to take full control of his own destiny and enjoy all that God had given him. From this moment on, he deeply understood why the core idea of the Renaissance was humanism. He became increasingly disgusted with the theocracy of the Catholic Church and its hypocritical confinementism, and he also tried to get rid of the Catholic Church's control over his spiritual world. Before he knew it, Henry tilted the scales of his faith in Catholicism little by little in the direction of Protestantism in England.

At this time, the Reformation in the south of England was in full swing under the leadership of government officials represented by Thomas Cromwell, the chief minister of state of Henry VIII. In addition to explicitly declaring the supremacy of Henry VIII, it also broke the papal control over the Kingdom of England and established the country's independent sovereignty within its territorial limits.

However, this is not the case in the north. Although some Catholics converted to Protestantism in England, there were still a large number of fanatical clergy who clung to their ancient Catholic faith. Father Boniface Thomas, who presided over the Nazareth Church at Nottingham Castle, was one such die-hard Catholic.

Father Thomas, who adheres to the unique spirit of survivalism of Catholicism in the north, skillfully took the initiative to avoid direct confrontation with the royal family and the government. He ostensibly obeyed the Protestant order, but in fact remained committed to his Catholic faith, and even took the initiative to declare his eternal obedience to Protestantism in front of his lord, the Duke of Richmond.

In doing so, Father Thomas seemed to obey and approve of Henry VIII's new government measures, but in fact he was only trying to escape the severe punishment of the government. In silence, he waited for the day when the time was ripe, for Protestantism and for the day when Henry VIII would be overthrown, for the re-unleashing of that deep-rooted passion for the Pope and the Holy See.

Henry was pleased with Father Thomas's performance. In any case, at least the priest did not warn him: "The body of a pleasure-seeking woman will corrupt his soul and hinder his pursuit of God." Moreover, even though the priest did not advocate human beings and oppose religious confinement, he tacitly allowed him to do so in his daily life.

Henry finally felt that his happiness was coming, and his sense of self was quietly awakened by the enigmatic Isabel Walton, who was determined to find through Isabel the love of worldly pleasures that had been forbidden by the Catholic Church.

——————————————

Henry's mood became very surprising under the influence of this "first love". First, he decided to hold a solemn feast on today, the day of Mass on Sunday, during which a band would play music.

Before the feast, every servant who worked for him in Nottingham Castle was given a sumptuous meal, both men and women. This food does not come from those stored for the long winter days, but from livestock that have been slaughtered because they cannot survive the winter.

Secondly, a certain amount of money was given to each would-be lancer of the Guard. Sir Augustin and Sir Alex Ferguson received twice as much money as the other would-be lancers, and each was given a knight's cloak with the Duke of Richmond's coat of arms, and a knight's dagger.

Finally, he will break with the mold and present a surprisingly mysterious gift to Augustine's new knightly squire, Isabel Walton. Although the gift was not given to the woman he liked during the surrender ceremony, he told himself that he had to do it to show his affection for her.

Before the grand dinner began, Ferguson happily put the knight's cloak that Henry had given him over the light armor, and wore the short sword with the pattern on his waist.

With the envy of all the would-be lancers, he returned to the captain's room and said to Augustine, who was sitting at the table, "Brother, why do you think Your Highness gave us these items today?" ”

Augustine smiled and looked at Isabel who was standing on the side, and joked, "I don't know." Maybe it's because His Highness kissed a certain girl today. ”

Ferguson laughed and sat down, drew the short sword at his waist and said to Isabel while admiring it: "Squar, God has made you a sacrifice, and it is only natural that he will reward you richly, won't he?" ”

Isabel glared at Sir Alex Ferguson with disdain and said, "If you call that an act a kiss, I would rather kiss the papal ruby ring, and perhaps the pope will canonize me as a saint as soon as he is pleased." ”

The two men in the room burst out laughing. Augustine smiled and said to her gently, "Isabel, you'd better take advantage of every possible opportunity from tonight onwards to learn how to hunt." ”

Isabel nodded and said, "Yes, Sir." I guess you're saying hunting season is coming, right? ”

"Yes, the Duke of Richmond's Hunting Season will officially begin tomorrow afternoon. Keep in mind that hunting is not only one of the 'Seven Knights' that you will learn, but it will also improve your combat resourcefulness and courage, which will be of great help in your knightly skill training. ”

Ferguson smiled faintly and said, "Squire, hunting is war, and war is just a hunt on a larger scale. ”

Ferguson's meaningful words seemed to remind her of the looting actions to be taken at the next Sunday Mass. For now, Isabel can only put aside the raiding for the time being, and start thinking about how to learn the skill of hunting.

After thinking alone for a while, he said to Augustine seriously, "Sir, but I don't know how to hunt now, so what should I do tomorrow?" ”

Augustine still said gently: "You don't have to worry about this, you just need to follow me then." In fact, what we have to do is very simple, which is to find the prey and then inform His Highness and the nobles. After the prey is driven to a pre-selected hunting ground, the hunt is carried out. ”

"Sir, it's that simple?"

"Yes, from the theory of knight skill training, it's as simple as that."

Isabel was very skeptical of Jazz's words, for she could tell from the wicked smile on Ferguson's face that there must be many more rules and specific ways to hunt. After pondering deeply, he said slowly, "Sir, then what means do we need to find prey that can be hunted?" ”

Augustine said with a smile: "Experienced hunter, excellent hound and fierce falcon." ”
