Chapter 5

In the early morning of the fourth day, I was hurriedly woken up by my father, and Lizzy was beside me, looking nervous and sad.I rubbed my eyes in confusion: "Why? What's wrong?"

Father looked serious: "Get up, that stinky pirate ran away, taking Will Turner with him. That damned blacksmith assisted him in escaping."

"Dad..." Lizzy tried to refute, but was glared at by her father.

"Two people, how did they escape?" I was very puzzled, after all, the Black Pearl hadn't attacked Port Royal yet.

"Wiltner slipped in during the changing of the guard, opened the door with some kind of leverage, and then..." the father was a little annoyed as he said, "That Sparrow is such a villain, Norrington's men wounded seven personal."

"Dad, is that why you woke me up so early in the morning?" I asked helplessly.

"No, son," the father's face brightened, and he smiled. "It's a good thing. Get dressed and look nice. We have a distinguished guest here."

"Dad, can I go and have a look?" Lizzy was also very interested.

Father smiled kindly: "Let's all go."

As they went downstairs, my father said, "Dear Bella, this is a very good opportunity for you, let our guest tell you himself."

My father and I went downstairs first.

In the living room, the scent of tea was wafting, the brigadier general was talking with another burly officer, both of them were very polite.Seeing us coming, the brigadier stood up, and the officer also bowed and saluted: "Mr. Governor, Miss Swan? It's a pleasure to meet you. My name is Henry Leidington, Captain of the London Navy. I brought your friend, my cousin A letter from Miss Anna Alby, and an invitation to you from the Marchioness of Alby."

After all, he picked up two letters from the table and handed them to me.

I saluted him and opened the envelope to read.

Anna Alby is a girl who came to Port Royal with a group of ladies a year ago. She is the eldest daughter of the Marchioness of Alby.She was very unfamiliar with this place at that time, and I, as the governor's daughter, took on the responsibility of accompanying these ladies on tour.

We hit it off, and we gradually became friends and kept in touch after she left.She wrote that her mother, the Marchioness, was very interested in everything here, and hoped that I could go to London to live for a while, and hinted that I would have the opportunity to meet the Queen during this period.

The Marchioness of Alby's letter was more formal.She earnestly hoped that her daughter's friends might tell her the stories of Port Royal and the bravery of the British soldiers, and wished to introduce me to the queen's court.

When I had read the two letters, I looked up at Henry Leitington.

He bowed again and said, "Ma'am, if you have no objection, the 'Conqueror' is already waiting at the pier, and is ready for orders at any time."

Father said, "How is it, Isabella?"

I smiled and said, "I am honored. But I hope to have some time to say goodbye to relatives and friends, pack my bags, and collect some local products here as gifts."

Colonel Littington replied: "Of course, ma'am. You are very thoughtful...?" His eyes could not help slipping to the side, and I followed his eyes and saw the beautiful Lizzy standing on the stairs. .

She noticed our gaze and hurried downstairs.

The father said apologetically, "Colonel, this is my second daughter, Elizabeth."

The well-mannered colonel bowed again.

Lizzy ignored it, and said directly: "Bella, are you leaving us?"

The father said quickly: "Just leave for a while, child—"

Although I was smiling, I couldn't help but burst into tears: "Dear Lizzy, it's only a few months. During this time, you have to take good care of yourself and Dad." Lizzy held back her tears and agreed.

The colonel said at this time: "Mr. Governor, Brigadier General, I will excuse you for a while. I am going to see my soldiers." The man was very winky, and both his father and the Brigadier General offered to accompany him, but he politely refused, saying yes Wanted to wander alone and enjoy the beauty of Port Royal.

Just before he went out, he turned around suddenly and said to Lizzy and his father, "Mr. Governor, Ma'am, I will protect Miss Swan." After speaking, he went out.

Only my family was left in the living room.

I hugged my father, but my father smiled and said, "Little Bella will go out for the first time, and it will be smooth sailing. We are all waiting for you to come back, good boy. Be careful when you go out, you will enter the palace , be with ladies and princesses, and be careful with etiquette; although Her Majesty the Queen is old, she is very loving, and you will benefit a lot from her. Don't embarrass our family."

After that, the old father pretended to have a bad throat, coughed hard a few times, finally suppressed the choking, took out his nose and throat and sniffed, and said, "Oh, the nose is uncomfortable." He said that the nose was uncomfortable, but his eyes were red.

Lizzy rushed to hug me, she couldn't speak, but tears wet my cheeks.I whispered in her ear, "Honey, protect yourself, Dad and James, don't act rashly, don't reveal everything about Will. Those two swords are stuck in the living room on the second floor. Go to Mr. Brown Take one from the blacksmith shop. Also—in a crisis, you can go and test the pirate Sparrow."

Lizzy nodded her head in tears, and she was stunned when she heard the last sentence.

I let her go, wiped her tears with a handkerchief (for she couldn't always find her own), and walked up to Commodore Norrington (who stood a little further away).

"Mr. Commodore, I don't have to ask you to take care of my family, because you will take care of them without me saying. The only thing I want to say is, please take care of yourself too, because you know, we have already regarded you as a Family," I said.

The brigadier general didn't say anything, just held my hand tightly.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Miss Isabella, I hope that Mr. Gillette can go with you."

I smiled slightly: "Okay, I'm hoping for someone I know well."

Finally, I asked my father to call the old housekeeper. My father was very puzzled, but he rang the bell and called old Mr. Nolan.Nolan combed his silver hair neatly, and said respectfully, "Sir, what are your orders?"

"Miss is going away, Nolan," said my father, "she wants you to come." Then Nolan turned to me, waiting for the order.

"Mr. Nolan, I have only one request: when someone knocks on the door, please see who opens the door; and, you must obey Miss Elizabeth's orders," I said.

There was a flash of surprise in Nolan's eyes, but he still replied: "Yes, Miss. I wish Miss a good journey."

After repeated instructions, I was a little relieved.
