It is believed that many people will not immediately recognize Isabel Walton, who is wearing leather armor that only sergeants can use, wearing two knightly swords, and riding a thoroughbred war horse at first sight.

In contrast, Joseph Swift, dressed in the standard English quasi-lancer armor and cloaked in a cloak painted with the coat of arms of the nobility, is too easily recognizable.

As soon as Joseph stopped Mahler in front of Isabel's horse, Reece and his friend jumped out of the carriage and bowed to him, and said respectfully, "Your Excellency." ”

Isabel did learn a great deal of chivalric etiquette from the Lord Sir and was well aware of the rules by which male nobles must first salute a lady when they met her. However, at this time she did not wear jewelry, nor did she wear the garb of a noble woman, so she had to dismount and salute Joseph according to her social rank.

Before she could jump off the horse, Joseph jumped off the horse before her, and walked to the left of her thoroughbred steed in two steps. Then he got down on one knee and said in a slightly agitated voice, "Good day, Lady Rosalind." ”

"Hell, I'm not Rosalind Walton, why the fuck do you have to think I'm the woman who's been dead for three years?" Isabel was very tempted to slam this sentence at the face of Joseph's aristocratic eldest son.

"Good day, honorable Joseph." Isabel spoke calmly to Joseph with a standard ceremonial greeting to the eldest son of the viscount.

Reece Turner and his friends, who were standing on the sidelines, clearly could not accept such a strange fact. They didn't dare to open their mouths to speak at will, nor did they dare to show the slightest disrespect for the children of the nobles, but they just stood there silently and watched the man and woman.

Joseph stood up, stepped forward and gazed at Isabel affectionately and said, "Rosa, don't you remember me?" I'm the Joseph you've always loved. ”

Isabel fears that if she returns a minute late, the long-dead prey will be accelerated by the air, bacteria, and humidity. If you want to sell your prey for a good price, you have to assure the buyer that the meat is fresh.

Thinking of this, she said to the eldest son of the viscount, "Listen, Joseph, I have a very urgent matter to attend to now. If you don't mind, you can come back to Nottingham Castle with us. ”

"Rosa, you... Why do you talk like that? "Joseph was very unaccustomed to the way she spoke.

"I'm fine." After Isabel finished speaking, she immediately turned around and shouted at the two guys behind her, "Hey, Reese, get into the carriage with your friends." Now, we have to rush back to the castle of His Royal Highness the Duke as soon as possible. ”

Two sturdy horses galloped forward on the road, and the four-wheeled wagon pulled by two horses behind them also increased its speed. Reese's coachman friend asked him curiously while intermittently using a horsewhip to drive the two horses to run, "Hey, how did you meet this lady?" ”

Reece glanced at him and said, "Before I come to you." ”

"God willing, how could you possibly know a lady from a noble family?"

"I don't know. She only said that her name was Isabel, and she didn't say which family it belonged to at all. ”

"Then why did the adult salute her just now?"

"You ask me, do you want me to ask my lordship?"

The coachman thought about it and said, "Didn't you say that you attended the baptism of this lady?" Do you recall, did the priest mention her last name during the ceremony? ”

Reese stared blankly at the rapidly receding view on the side of the road, and slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "I remember, I remember, this lady's name is Isabel Walton." ”

"Walton, Walton? My God, is she the daughter of Lord Sir Augustine Walton? The coachman glared at Reese as he said "facts" that even he couldn't believe.

"Stupid, don't look at me like that, watch out for the carriage overturning." Reese fears an accident in the carriage and curses his friend.

When the bowmaker and his coachman friend had lifted their game into the wagon, Isabelle, who was standing by, said to the bowmaker, "Reese, shall I keep these two hares, and the peacock and the swan?" ”

Reece nodded solemnly and said sincerely, "Of course you can do this, ma'am. ”

"Thank you. By the way, how much do you think these prey can be worth? ”

"Ma'am, although I don't know who gave you these prey, I do know that the meat of these prey will be the best on the market."

"That's good. Reese, can your friend's carriage pull that giant boar? I'm worried that the prey is too heavy and will cause unnecessary trouble for your friends. ”

"No problem, no matter how heavy the cargo is, he can pull it. My God, I have almost never seen a wild boar of this size. I think the person who gave you this boar must have liked you very much. ”

Isabel shook her head and said with a smile, "It's not that I like it, it's just an appreciation." So, how many longbows can I trade these best meats for? ”

Reese, who was bent on making more money this time, was a little unbearable, and he didn't dare to deceive Isabel. After thinking about it, he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Excluding other prey, this giant boar alone is worth at least 15 longbows." ”

"Wow, it looks like it's worth a lot of money. Well, all I need is 4 bows, a spare bowstring, and 96 arrows, and can you exchange the rest of the prey for money? ”

"Lady Isabel, I can't guarantee that all the prey will be sold in the shortest possible time."

"It's okay, I know you want to make more money, you just need to give me some money for the bigger prey."

When the coachman got into the carriage and was about to leave, Reece said, "Lady Isabel, when are you going to make a bow?" ”

Isabel smiled and said, "I'll come to you tomorrow afternoon after the sun appears." ”

When Joseph followed Isabel back to Nottingham Castle, he had completely forgotten about his promise to his father. At this time, the deceased Rosalind? Walton's image and the real-life Isabel's voice and smile have been completely recombined into a person.

He hardly believed Rosalind's father's serious explanations to him, and stood at Isabel with Augustine in the distance with his hands behind his back and said, "Sir, how can you think that she is certainly not Rosa?" ”

Augustine said indifferently: "Because I witnessed the burial of my daughter and accompanied her through the last part of her life." ”

"I'm sorry, sir. Although the plague phenomenon is rare in the northern regions, I am deeply sorry for the suffering that your daughter has suffered. ”

"Joseph, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to do this."

"Sir, maybe I'm missing Rosa too much."

At this moment, a servant walked quickly in front of the two men. After bowing to the two of them one by one, he bowed his head slightly and said to Augustine, "Lord Sir, the lord has invited you to tonight's dinner now. ”

Augustine nodded and said, "Please convey my gratitude to Your Highness." ”
