At the moment, Sir Augustine was enjoying the only rest day of the week on the estate. While Sir and his wife Antonia each walked slowly in the back garden with a servant, the butler led a guard from the Duke's Court into the back garden in a hurry, and the two saluted and greeted Sir and Madame when they came to them.

The Duke's palace guard solemnly reported: "Your Excellency, a large number of rebels have been found near His Highness's castle, please quickly mobilize the security forces to arrest the rebels and control the chaos." ”

The knight, who was standing in the grass with his hands behind his back, calmly looked at the young guard with a solemn expression, and spit out a sentence in thought, "Well, I see, did Your Highness ask you to come?" ”

"Your Excellency, Your Highness is not in the castle today, but your daughter Miss Isabel ordered me to report to you."

"Oh, where is she now? Did she say how many rebels there were? ”

"Your Excellency, Miss Isabel is at this time in the place where the rebels gather, and as far as I can see, the rebels... The number of people is about 20 to 30. ”

Sir shook his head and sighed slightly, then turned his head to Antonia and complained, "Ma'am, it seems that my daughter doesn't want me, the magistrate, to rest for a while on Sunday. ”

"I don't think my daughter wants to see rebels in the county." Antonia also smiled a little helplessly, and suddenly remembered one thing, "After lunch, did my daughter say this when she left the manor?" ”

After lunch, Isabel told Sir and his wife that he would go out in the afternoon to run some business. However, she didn't say anything she was going to do before leaving, and Antonia naturally couldn't have known that her daughter was going out to participate in a duel. At this time, a commotion of a larger scale occurred quite coincidentally, and Madame Sir conflated two different things.

"Madame, my daughter did not mention the rebellion when she left." Sir Logic, who had many years of experience as a judge, indirectly rejected his wife's opinion, but whispered to her, "Pardon me, Madam, for now I need to deal with the case of rebellion." I'll take a walk with you when I'm done with the case. ”

Antonia thought about it and said nothing, but said, "Sir, if your daughter is done with her business, let her come back with you for dinner." ”

After nodding to his wife, Sir walked to the manor with his personal valet, butler, and guard, and as he walked all the way, Jazz repeatedly pondered the cause and severity of the rebellion, and asked the guard carefully, "When did this happen?" Now, have the rebels started looting, killing or setting fires? ”

This was one of the guards who escorted the Duchess back to the castle on Isabel's orders, so he only knew what happened before the Duchess left the scene of the duel. Upon hearing Sir Knight's words, he recalled, "Your Excellency, the rebellion took place about an hour or two ago. As soon as there were rebels in the dueling arena, Mademoiselle ordered me and the others to escort the Duchess back to the castle at once. So, I don't know what happened next. ”

"Dueling arena? Duchess? What's going on here, let's talk about it in more detail. ”

"Your Excellency, Mademoiselle was dueling with a young man, and I followed Madame to the dueling arena. Then the duel stopped, and Madame told Madame that there were rebels there. At last the others and I escorted my wife back to the castle. ”

Sir was a little baffled by what had happened this afternoon, and it sounded strange that the Duchess, the daughter, the dueling, the rebels, all the people and things of note had all appeared in one place. However, God blessed the Duchess and her daughter without any incidents.

"Well, the Duchess was not harmed by the rebels? And, what about my daughter? Jazz led the two into the manor and headed straight for the study.

"Madame is fine. Before I escorted my wife away, the young lady had been directing the others in the dueling arena to prepare for the fight against the rebels. Wei Cong still reported the truth.

"Well, that's good." When Sir walked to the door of the study, he turned to look at the butler who was standing a step or two behind him, "Bruce, immediately send someone to Sir William's manor to report to Sir about the rebellion in the county. Sir Ask Sir to go to ...... immediately" Sir Augustine did not finish speaking, and hurriedly looked at the guard, "Where are the rebels now?" ”

"Just west of His Highness's Castle, near the River Swell."

When Sir got to the study, he re-instructed the butler, "Bruce, ask Sir William to take someone to the Swell River to deal with the rebellion at once." ”

After the butler had promised to leave, Sir went behind his desk and picked up a quill pen to write a letter. While pondering the contents of the letter, he instructed the guard, "Squire, after I have finished writing the letter, you can take the letter to the court to find the governor of peace and ask him to send the security army." If the Governor is not there, you can also take the letter and go directly to the dueling arena with two patrols. ”

Isabel sneered and glanced at the people around Matthew with sharp eyes. When she saw a few of the thieves she had freed herself, she was even more certain that the group had come to the county with bad intentions. In the face of the sophistic thief, she seemed to remember herself who had been a part-time thief back then, and said lightly: "Mr. Matthew Bissell, given the past experiences of you and your companions, and the process of our acquaintance, it is hard for me to believe that your words can stand the test of God. ”

Matthew, whose face was not blushing and his heart was not beating, said something that he did not even believe, "Every day my partner and I pray to God, to repent of our sins with all our hearts, and to live according to God's word." Now that my partners and I have changed our ways, God has forgiven us all our sins and poured out God's love in our hearts again. ”

Matthew, who was full of lies, looked very calm, and Isabel certainly wouldn't believe what he was telling the truth. With a pair of falcon-like eyes sweeping over the faces of everyone beside her, she was looking for flaws, all the flaws that could prove that this bastard was lying.

At this time, William Parr, who was standing on the right behind her, muttered quietly, "When did this guy become so religious?" Your Excellency, I don't believe him. ”

Isabel didn't answer William's words, still staring at Matthew and his accomplices, "So, you've become devout Catholics?" Well, that's good. So what kind of crafts do you rely on to sustain your life now? ”

Matthew glanced at the person beside him triumphantly, smiled at her and said, "Miss, it was a benevolent and generous lord who rescued us. ”
