Duchess Mary Fitzroy, dressed in a man's suit and a women's bodysuit, felt a cold, piercing aura of bleak and gloomy hell from the simple and bland words of the other party.

She felt as if she were in a muddy, dimly lit environment full of mud, and stood in front of her a tall, blood-red eye, with a dog's head, snake hair, and bat wings, with a torch in one hand and a whip twisted from pit vipers in the other, roaring at the sinful souls soaked in the mud.

After staring at each other for a long time, he said softly, "Isabel, you remind me of that 'friendly and kind woman'. ”

"Who? Mary, which woman is a friendly and kind person? Isabel imagined in her mind that William Parr would track Matthew's gang, and said casually.

"Come here. You know, just saying this woman's name will bring bad luck to yourself. Mary said mysteriously to the other.

Isabel was a little surprised, "Really? All right. Then she leaned her head to the Duchess's side, only to hear one word in her ear, "Erineus." ”

"God, isn't that the name of the three goddesses of vengeance?" She muttered to herself, and looked at the Duchess again, "Mary, do you think I'm the Bad... Oh, the three women whom the Greeks feared? ”

"Yes, they are the goddesses of vengeance who serve the gods of hell, punishing all wrongs and faults not only in hell but also in this secular world." Mary said softly with a solemn expression, "And their mission is to hunt down and punish those who have committed serious crimes. No matter where the sinner is, they will always follow him and let his soul suffer from contrition. ”

"Well, Mary, how did you tell me about the characters in Greek mythology?" In fact, when Isabel heard the name Nemesis, the first thing that came to mind was the "Nemesis" man-portable missile developed by Lockheed Martin.

"It was when you told me that you were going to hunt down those thieves outside the county, and I suddenly thought of the Three Nememories." Mary's expression was lighter than before.

Isabel felt that she could not sit any longer, because one more minute of delay would give Matthew Bissell's group one more minute to escape. Standing up, he looked at the Duchess with a serious expression, "Mary, I'm grateful that you told me some Greek mythology. But now I have to go. ”

The Duchess also stood up and looked at her with a solemn expression, "Isabel, Your Highness and I both know that you are doing your best to fulfill your duties. I believe that without your dedication, Richmondshire would be as chaotic and violent as the rest of the north. ”

"Mary, do you want to tell me that you have a black dress ready to wear on my funeral day?"

"My God, Isabel, how can you speak like that?"

"I'm sorry, Mary, I'm joking." A funny smile appeared on Isabel's face.

"Well, I won't blame you. Be careful on the road and be sure to come back alive and celebrate the arrival of St. Michael's Day. The Duchess looked a little helpless at Isabel's grinning face.

As Isabel left the parlor and walked outside her office on the same floor, a valet walked briskly towards her, "Your Excellency, Lord Latimer's eldest son, Mr. Neville, is already waiting for you in the square with 20 guards. ”

"I see, you go and bring my horse."

"Yes, Your Excellency."

Isabel went into the room and locked the door, taking off her tights, silk shirt, and linen that covered her chest. Next, take out a wide, clean roll of linen from the cupboard where the clothes are stored and wrap your breasts tightly. Finally, he took out a loose lace-up linen coat and changed it, tied the belt and straightened the two custom short swords around his waist.

After changing clothes, he walked to the cabinet on the right side where the weapons were stored, took out a pair of polished cuirass, put it on his body, and fastened the buckles connected by belts on both shoulders. After fastening the buckle, the position and comfort of the cuirass were adjusted to achieve the best wearing effect. This was also done to avoid grinding her shoulders with the horse's bumps during the march.

Pick up two replica Scrip tactical knives with scabbards hanging on the far left and tie them to the outside of each thigh. He picked up a custom-made longbow hanging on the right side and a quiver full of arrows, and finally took a pair of arm guards and a pair of three-finger archery gloves and left the room.

Carrying an quiver and holding a longbow in his left hand, he walked to the platform outside the main building's gate. When she saw John standing at the bottom of the stairs and 20 elite heavily armed hussars, she walked briskly. John, who looked extremely excited, stood on the side of the war horse and nodded at her, "Your Excellency, we are ready. ”

Isabel stood on the stairs and nodded, glanced at everyone's expressions, and said loudly: "Brothers, today there is a group of rebels who have seriously disturbed the order in His Highness's territory and seriously violated His Highness's good subjects. So, we're going to go somewhere outside the county now to find and get rid of these rebels, are you willing to go? ”

"Your Excellency, we do! Willing to purge the rebels for His Highness! The earth-shattering roars of the 21 armed hussars present alarmed many people in the castle.

"Good. After completing the task, I will ask His Highness to give my brothers some rewards. In addition, the food, weapons, horses, and clothing captured during this mission will be distributed to you as trophies. ”

"Thank you for your generosity!"

"Get on the horse, let's go to the county border outside the hunting grounds to the south."

Isabel led the party out of the castle, across the stone bridge and down the main road to the Duke of Richmond's private hunting ground to the south of the county. After about five miles, the group rounded the hunting grounds and came to the vicinity of the county line, when John, who was riding his horse, saw William Parr waiting by the roadside.

The team stopped at the side of the road, and Isabel jumped off her horse and came to William. After William saluted, he looked at a thief kneeling on the grass by the roadside with his hands tied, "Your Excellency, I caught a thief according to your order. ”

"Well done, William. You also have a share of Your Highness's bounty and spoils. Isabel nodded, smiling as she walked towards the thief.

William smiled and walked over to the young John in the back, "John, are you ready?" This mission is a real combat mission. ”

John looked at him with a smirked look, "Come and tell me what weapons I've brought." ”
