Isabel declined Henry's invitation under the pretext that their identities did not match, and walked briskly in the direction where the two knights had left. As he walked, he said to himself, "Damn, it's good that this red-haired kid wasn't talking to me in Latin, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to answer him." ”

When questioned by Henry, the Butler, and Sir Augustine, she had previously stated that she could speak Latin. But she herself was well aware of the fact that Latin was a classical Western language in which she lived in an everyday colloquial language that had died out, and was generally used only as a documentary language for research. As a result, her level of Latin was only elementary in French.

While Spanish, the second most popular language in the world, is the second most popular language in the world in the high school curriculum in many states, the first foreign language learned by high school students in Texas is French. And because Isabel had participated in the French club in high school, she could confidently speak fluent French.

When she caught up with the two knights on foot, Ferguson jokingly said to her, "Squire, I guess Your Highness will have good reason to take a keen interest in you by now." ”

Isabel walked to Augustine's side and replied lightly, "You guessed it, His Royal Highness the Duke, almost completely ignoring his status, intends to invite me to lunch. ”

"Hahaha...... Squire, you know what? During the Danish dominance of LinkedIn Glen, women would be an important commodity. In some cases, it was used as a valuable possession to exchange gold and silver coins with the Saxons in preparation for war the following summer. ”

"Sir, centuries have passed since the time of the Danes, and the mighty empire founded by Dane Canute I has long since disappeared into the long history of England."

Augustine glanced at the waitress beside him and said, "Isabel, it may be a good thing that Your Highness has invited you to lunch. Either way, at least it can change your current status and life at Nottingham Castle. ”

Isabel pouted and said, "I know that if I promise him, I can get everything I want." However, you also think that women are just appendages of men? Sir, I think you must remember that the Lord Jesus Christ gave women the right to freedom and dignity, just as the Lord was merciful to the Samaritan woman and Martha. ”

"Isabel, I am ashamed of your words. As a devout Catholic, I should indeed believe the word of the Lord. ”

"Sir, I don't think women should do exactly what their husbands ask of them to be good wives and mothers in the home and kitchen. On the contrary, women should have the same status as men and choose their own way of life according to their own wishes. I think this is the expression of freedom, equality, and self-worth advocated and advocated by humanism, which is supported by His Majesty the King and the court. ”

At lunch, the two knights ate a sumptuous lunch provided to them by the lord and talked loudly about something interesting. Augustine tore off a bit of bread and put it in his mouth, chewing it as he said to the waitress standing behind him, "Isabel, although I don't know much about some of the humanist ideas that His Majesty esporates, this is the northern part of England, and there are still many people who still cling to some of the old beliefs here. ”

Ferguson, who sat across from Augustin Walton, was considering whether he should inform the Jazz of Isabel's plans. When he had eaten some of the roast venison in front of him, he took his glass and said to Augustine, "Sir, I think we can discuss something exciting." ”

Augustine looked at him and said calmly, "Something exciting? What are you referring to? ”

"Wealth, weapons, horses, and cavalry armor."

"I see. Ferguson, are you going to take part in a few more horse jousting competitions, or are your knightly honors being mocked by others? ”

"No, Sir, you're all wrong. This plan was proposed by your new squire, and she asked me to help her. ”

Augustine looked back at the squire in disbelief and whispered, "Isabel, I can see that you know a lot about chivalry. It's just that you're in a learning period right now, and some things still have to wait until you learn how to throw guns, swordsmanship, and hunting first. ”

Isabel knew that Sir was talking about the "Seven Knights", implying that she was still a student of knights. It is almost impossible for a student who is still in school to find a job before he or she has graduated from school.

After pondering for a few seconds, Isabel said, "Sir, at the moment I am learning swordsmanship, I can also ride horses, I think I can get something of my own through my own efforts." ”

"Isabel, you should make good use of these six months to learn the various trainings and chivalry that a squire should learn in seven years. You should understand that my wife, sons and daughters are very fond of you, and they treat you like family. I don't want your reckless behavior to make my family sad. ”

"Thank you, Sir, for your family for not treating me like a witch. But shouldn't I, as a squire, have my own warhorse, my own sword, and my cavalry armor or shield? ”

Isabel added, "As one of your knightly squires, at least I must not let your knightly honor be ridiculed by others because of these things." ”

Augustine did not answer her words, and he also knew that Isabel's words were right. In the past, every squire came from a nearby noble family, so every young squire came to Asker Manor with the weapons and equipment provided by the family. So, as a knight, he never seemed to think about it.

When Ferguson saw that Jazz was starting to hesitate, he tended to say, "Sir, don't worry. Your Squire has a plan in place, and while it's still up to be discussed, I think it's good. ”

"Are you going to plunder the border villages or the farmers' livestock?"

"Sir, if you want to know, let Squire speak to you."

Augustine didn't express any opinion, but after thinking about it, he said, "Isabel, you go to dinner." His Highness will hold a surrender ceremony for you at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Think about what this surrender ritual means to you. ”

Isabel saluted and left the room, and Ferguson looked at her back and said, "Sir, what are you worried about?" Are you worried that Squire will die in the raid, or will your knightly honor be tarnished? ”

Augustine took a sip of his glass, shook his head and said, "Ferguson, you never understand how a mother would view her daughter. ”
