Mary Fitzroy had planned to take a good look at Isabel's superb swordsmanship, but who would have thought that this duel near her husband's castle would end unexpectedly because of her arrival. However, it seems that the two people on the field have just stopped dueling. If the two of them walk out of the dueling arena, it will represent the true end of the duel.

The Duchess glanced at the guards, vigilantes, junior officials, and several squires present, and after thinking about it, she said softly, "Gentlemen, do you want to stop or continue the duel?" ”

To Mary's surprise, many of the people present were involved in the off-court gambling of the duel, and they unanimously bet all their money on Isabel. To say that winning in the game is for sure, after all, no one has seen Isabel lose a duel. Of course, losing a duel means that the losing side is brutally killed by the opponent. At the moment, the fact that Isha Mei is still alive and kicking in front of everyone is a perfect proof of this.

Now, the duel was stopped halfway because of the Duchess or Isabel, which was an accident that no one expected. What does it mean to stop the duel, there are no casualties and no gamble. The gambling game is gone, and how can the people who participate in the gambling game still win. Just getting the principal back, but not winning, is too boring and lacks the joy of celebrating religious holidays.

Several squires and lower-ranking officials present couldn't help but have different voices, and a man who seemed to be a rich man muttered in a low voice, "Of course, I hope that the duel will continue, and if you win some money, you can buy some wild boar to eat." ”

Mary seemed to hear Yoman's words, and walked from the man-made passage to the right side of the passage and looked at Yoman, "Yoman, what did you just say?" ”

John Neville, who was walking behind the Duchess's procession, came to the sidelines, jumped off his horse, spear in hand, and observed the crowd before finding William Parr and others. After saluting the Duchess, the young man glanced at Isabel in the arena, stood beside William and said with some excitement: "William, it turns out that Your Excellency is really fighting a duel with other people." ”

William glanced behind him and nodded with a smile, "Yes." John, why don't you bring two manor guards with you to keep you safe? ”

Jochao raised the spear in his hand, "Look, this is my guard. William, I'm a cavalryman on the security patrol now, and I don't need anyone to protect me. ”

"Well, then, now you can come and keep the Duchess safe."

"That's for sure. Not only the Duchess, but everyone here is in my protective duties. ”

The people outside the arena chatted with each other, and Isabel on the field had long since lost the mind to continue the duel. Glancing at the young man standing opposite, "Carl, now I'll give you a way to go." If you wish, you can become a yoman, a gentleman, or a knight in the county. ”

Although the sword in Carl's hand was still in mid-air, his expression began to hesitate, "Knight? Sir, do you mean to be like your father, Your Excellency? ”

"Yes. Karl, did you know that in days when there is no war, you can also get the title of knight. However, only if you have money or a lot of land. If you become a wealthy merchant in the town, you will also receive the title of knight. ”

What Isabel said, Carl never even dreamed of, he just felt that being a gentleman was already a great achievement. He didn't dare to imagine becoming a knight with a gentleman's title and a nobleman with a knighthood. Glancing at the knight's daughter across from him, he pondered in silence.

It was at this moment that Isabel suddenly noticed Sally Cooper on the other side. When she nodded her head at the other party as a greeting, she noticed that a man dressed in a businessman's costume was standing next to Sally. He wears a hat on his head, a wide collarless tunic and large lapels decorated with fur, and knee-length shorts and pantyhose on the lower body. A men's costume that is popular throughout the dynasty undoubtedly tells others that he is a man of status and status.

Looking at the clean face and well-trimmed hair, Isabel almost didn't recognize who the man was, and thought to herself, "It turned out to be the longbowman who let him go at the Fountain Abbey." It seems that he has mixed well in the past few months? ”

"It can't be, right? Unless these people start stealing and robbing again, where will they get the money to buy these clothes and expensive socks to wear? ”

"Perhaps, they swore allegiance to some nobleman? Even if they were loyal to the nobility, the nobility could not be generous enough to give a few thieves a large amount of clothes to wear that represented their status and status, right? ”

"What if he really changed his ways, became a good person, and honestly did business to make money? How much money can he earn in more than two months? £5 or £10? Look at his clothes and the fur outside, they are more than this price. ”

"What are you doing in Richmond County dressed like a dog? Touring the northern counties on behalf of the nobles? Or do you want to do business with the yoman and gentlemen in the county? ”

"Fuck it, this bastard is probably here to step on something. Find out the address of the manor house of the wealthy Yoman and the gentleman, and then commit theft or robbery. ”

"Hell, how come this bastard and his accomplices weren't caught by the local magistrate?

Isabel looked at the middle-aged longbowman named Matthew with cold eyes, stood on the duel arena and began to plan, "No matter what, you must keep this person under surveillance." As long as he dares to make a move in the county, he will immediately take arrest action. ”

After secretly planning it, he glanced at Carl again, "Carl, what do you think of the advice I gave you?" ”

Carl, who was still hot-headed before, saw that he couldn't kill the other party, so he had to think about it according to the other party's intentions. He thought Isabel was right, and looked at the other party suspiciously, "Your Excellency, are you telling the truth?" ”

Isabel squinted in Sally's direction again, smiled and looked at Carl again, "That's true. I can also give you advice on how to become a knight if you wish. ”

"I... Think about it. ”

"Good. Look, isn't that great? You can get what you want without losing your life in vain. ”

After listening to the words of several junior officials and Yoman, the Duchess turned her gaze to the Privy Councillor with some helplessness, "Your Excellency, please come to me." ”

Isabel whispered as she passed by Karl in promise, "This is an opportunity to go with me to salute the Duchess." Perhaps, one day in the future, you will also become a retainer of the lord. ”

"Retainers? Sir, I am just a farmer. Carl looked very unconfident.
