At Isabel's arrangement, housekeeper Bruce Harder chose a rectangular clearing in the middle of the lawn. On the north side of the clearing, the servants were instructed to build five small artificial slopes with steep slopes and large angles on the competition line with wooden planks.

Not only that, but two small wooden posts were placed on the race finish line at the southernmost point of each slope. The purpose of this is to make the game more enjoyable, and the second is to establish the rules of the race: the fastest egg to roll in the five tracks, does not deviate from the direction of the roll, and can pass between the two small wooden posts on the finish line, is the winner.

At this moment, Caroline Swift, accompanied by Sir Brown's eldest son, heard Euphemia's laughter from a distance. When she looked back, she found that Euphemia was chasing Isabel around a would-be knight for some reason. Watching the two of them laughing and running around the lawn with their skirts on the lawn, they smiled and said to the eldest son: "Ernest, maybe you know that it is an enviable fact that you can have two excellent sisters. ”

Ernest didn't look at the Isabel sisters in the distance behind him, but just stared at Caroline and smiled, "I appreciate Miss Caroline's kind words." Actually, they're not as good as you think they are. ”

"I know, because it is impossible for all people to be disgusted without a little disgust. However, that didn't stop me from interacting with both of them. ”

"Miss, in fact, Isabel wearing a man's costume is also a very strange phenomenon."

"Ernest, so you have a strange opinion about my outfit today?"

Depressed, Caroline had no thought of making herself more beautiful and young aristocratic during Easter. So, still dressed as a knight and tied to a cross knight's sword, he rode to Ernest's father's manor.

Sizz's eldest son smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, miss, I didn't mean to offend you. I just think that Isabel dressed this way for horseback riding, archery, hunting, and dueling. Because this is the north, the nobility and people of the north have been very different from the nobles and townspeople of the south since ancient times. ”

Caroline looked at the water in the pond that was blown by the breeze and said leisurely, "Maybe you're right." However, the northern aristocracy and people from ancient times to the present day have made His Majesty the King think differently. ”

"Miss, I have great sympathy for the misfortune that has befallen you, for my lord has also suffered such misfortune."

"Ernecht, if you want to say that my father and your lord have accepted His Majesty's arrest decree, I am acceptable."

"Don't you think, then, what His Majesty is doing is ridiculous?"

"Ridiculous? Ernest, His Majesty the King has seen the phenomenon of the northern nobles leading tens of thousands of northern people to make the kingdom no longer peaceful. His Majesty considered this to be a serious provocation to him and to the majesty of the Crown. ”

Ernest looked into Caroline's eyes and then at the pond in front of him: "Your Majesty the King, if there were no northern nobles guarding the northern border for him, would the kingdom still be peaceful?" ”

Caroline glanced at him and shook her head, "The nobles, knights, and squires of the South are not as ridiculous as you think. ”

While the two were still talking about the previous rebellion and its aftermath, the egg game in the manor had begun. Not only children but also adults from different walks of life participated in the egg rolling. Curiously, the adult men and women at the scene did not include the bookkeepers, leaseholders, cottage farmers, and hired laborers at the bottom of the social ladder.

At the end of the day, it's an Easter game between officials, the wealthy and their family members, servants. Since the "enclosure frenzy" that broke out in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, the poor have been in the midst of a war against the rich. However, this war between the poor and the rich was a product of an important period in the transition of the Kingdom of England from feudalism to capitalism.

Euphemia, who was walking on the lawn on the other side of the garden, said to the prospective knight who was walking slowly: "Herbert, when I marry you, who was canonized as a knight by His Majesty the King, can you accept the fact that I may not fall in love with you?" ”

Herbert looked down at his feet and pondered, and after a while raised his head and looked straight ahead, and said, "Miss Euphemia, I believe that such a fact will occur. I'd rather believe in the fact that you're going to fall in love with me, though. ”

"Really? Are you telling me that you will still behave courteously, courteously, generously, with integrity, loyalty, and courage in my married life and yours? ”

"Miss Euphemia, that's exactly what I want to do. If you can accept my love for you, I will always cherish it carefully and keep it in my heart until the moment I return to heaven. ”

Euphemia remembered the egg game that had already begun, and muttered, "If it weren't for my sister, I wouldn't have missed this year's Easter egg game." ”

Herbert's face turned a little red, and he said with a look of shame, "Miss, if you agree, I can win you some easter eggs and give them to you." ”

Euphemia immediately laughed when he heard his words, "I know you're going to do it. However, I want to play another way now. ”

"Miss, what you're talking about is that you and I hit each other with Easter eggs, whose Easter eggs break first will be considered a losing game?"

"Yes. Herbert, you must know that I was not going to accept your company today. If you think it's a pursuit, it's just an impossible pursuit, you know? ”

"Yes, miss, I know."

As she herself said "the crazy third child", Yufemiah tilted her little head and thought about it, and said, "It's all because of my sister that I will agree to your request." Therefore, you have to accept my rules of the game. ”

How could Herbert know what she wanted to play, but said kindly: "Of course, miss, I hope you will not ruthlessly refuse my pursuit of you." ”

"Well, my rule is that you and I will collide with each other with Easter eggs, and if I lose, I will let you accompany me to Lord Latimer's territory. If you lose, I wonder what you have to do to grab the crustaceans in the pond empty-handed. ”

"Miss Euphemia, is this real?"

"God does not allow me to lie. Remember, I'm talking empty-handed. ”

"Yes, miss. Uh, how many easter eggs do you need? ”

"Three per person, a total of 6 easter eggs."

"Yes, miss, I'll bring it to you right away." Herbert excitedly walked away to get the eggs.

Euphemia, who did look a little crazy, snickered to herself: "This fool can catch crustaceans without fishing nets, unless God is willing to let me marry you." ”
