Chapter 404 Human Resources
This change of rabbit falcon surprised everyone, and some of the onlookers stopped again, and some people who didn't know what to do began to whisper about the young woman who wanted to kill a Yomannon. William Parr, the younger brother of the future last Queen of England, glared at the cross-handed sword and glanced at the crowd, "Get out of here, get out of here." ”
Then, William quickly crouched down and looked at Isabel eagerly, "Wait, Miss. If you want to defend your honor and dignity, you can officially engage in a duel with this Yoman. ”
"William Parr, that's exactly what I intended. However, this bastard actually took me for a witch. Isabel still knelt on Yoman's chest, pressing the serrated dagger into the other's neck with the serrated dagger in her hand.
"Witch?" William's face became ugly, and he struck Yomanon on the forehead twice with the plane of the blade, "Yoman, this is the daughter of His Excellency the Richmondshire County Sheriff, why do you want to slander her as a witch?" ”
"I... I don't know who she is, and she hasn't been able to tell who she is. Pressed to the ground, Yoman struggled and tried to get up.
Sir Herbert arrived with William's nephew, John, and several guards. As soon as John saw Isabel kneeling on Yomannon's body, he hurriedly ran forward, "Godmother, what are you doing?" ”
Yomanon couldn't help but be shocked when he heard John's words: "Godmother...?" ”
"John, what are you going to do if someone slanders your godmother as a witch?" Isabel glanced at her godson, who was standing aside.
"What? Witch? Godmother, is this the person who said that? John glared viciously at Yoman, who was lying on the ground, and pulled out the throwing axe that hung on his right waist and pointed it at Yomannon's head. It seems that at the first time Isabel gave the order, John would not hesitate to chop off Yomannon's head with a tomahawk.
Seeing this, Sir Herbert hurriedly stepped forward, "Your Excellency, please don't do it yet. I'm the chief guard here, and I have the right to know what's going on here. ”
Isabel did not refute his words, calmly stood up and took a few steps back. John looked up at Isabel, who didn't speak, and then turned to look at William, "Uncle, is this person slandering my godmother as a witch?" ”
William glanced at Isabel and shook his head helplessly, "Hmm. ”
"Bastard, you dare to insult my godmother!" John raised his throwing axe and tried to rush over and slash at Yoman's body.
"John, stop." William reached out and took his nephew's hand, and looked at John, "You can listen to what Lord Sir Sir of the Guard has to say first. ”
By this time, Yomanon had risen from the ground. Reached out and touched the place where his neck had been pressed just now, took his hand down and looked at his fingers again, "Damn, it's bleeding!" ”
Sir Herbert looked at both sides, and announced aloud, "All right, everyone, please come with me." ”
The crowd returned to the clearing, and the knight pondered for a moment after listening to the accounts of Yomanon and Isabelle, respectively. Soon, his eyes looked sternly at Yomanon on the left, "Yoman, since you insulted this young lady's identity and honor with indecent words and deeds, then you must accept the duel proposed by the other party, understand?" ”
No nobleman, knight, or squire in the north was a stranger to duels of honor or justice, and most of them took duels seriously as a formal means of settling disputes. I saw that the Yomanon in front of him straightened his clothes and looked at Sir calmly. "A brave northern man will not refuse a duel to defend his dignity. Therefore, I accept this duel of honor. ”
———————————
The blood-eating desire that Isabel was provoked by William Parr was finally released through the blood of the unseen Yomannon. When she leapt high from the right side of Yomanon and plunged the short sword she held in her right hand into the left side of her neck, everyone present held their breath and stared with wide eyes at the young woman who had overcome her opponent with a surprising trick.
According to the rules of the duel and the agreement reached between the two parties, neither side can take revenge privately after being killed by the other party. If you want revenge, you still have to do it through a duel. As soon as Yomannon's servants carried his body away, John Jr. and his uncle William gathered around Isabel excitedly.
As everyone left the clearing, little John shouted happily, "Godmother, what kind of swordsmanship do you use?" Why was it possible to kill that hateful Yoman without touching the opponent's sword? ”
Isabel smiled lightly, "John, you have to remember that your opponent is a man, not a sword, a spear, a six-bladed hammer, and a battle axe. ”
"So, uh, didn't you think that Yoman would stab you with his sword when you jumped?"
"He's not me, how can he know what I'm thinking."
William, who walked with Herbert, looked at Isabel with a very appreciative gaze, "Miss, your swordsmanship has opened my eyes. I regret not letting my father come north with me. ”
Isabel glanced at him, "You mean, your father was also a master of swordsmanship?" ”
"Perhaps, I didn't get a chance to see my father when he was younger."
Isabel just smiled lightly and looked at Sir Herbert again, "Sir, it's not early, I'm going to take John back." ”
"Go back? Your Excellency, Effie and I would like to invite you to dinner. Sir Herbert didn't understand what she was thinking.
John, who is nearly 5 feet (about 1.5 meters) tall, raised his head to look at Isabel who was walking on the side, "Godmother, it is God's arrangement that I can meet my uncle here today, and I want to stay with my uncle for a while." ”
Isabel knew that little John would definitely say that. Although she didn't know what William Parr's fate would be, she knew that he would definitely get everything a knight's eldest son wanted because of his sister's honor and status. And because of William's change of attitude towards herself, she has reason to believe that William, who has become a high-class nobleman, will have a grudge against the Duke of Richmond for himself, and even fight a duel with the Duke at all costs.
These two high-ranking nobles with important status and status are important human resources, so she will not easily waste a little resource. Smiling and glancing at little John, "No problem, if Mr. William Parr can keep you safe, you can stay with him." ”
