While the Duke's estate was in chaos, the Sharp family felt a strange sense of satisfaction Especially after

hearing the news of Priscilla’s death, Garrett muttered. It must be Prunella coming back to get her revenge”

But Natasha was not concerned with revenge or any such notions. She had already dispatched Kolton and group

of men to Zloimond to find Isolde. Still, Natasha couldn't shake the sorrow over Prunella’s death—it still weighed

heavily on her heart, triggering a relapse of her condition. Thankfully, Sadie was there to keep her grounded,

though Natasha couldn't stop muttering. | wonder how Isolde is doing now”

As for Isolde, she and the others had been taken by Harlan, Luckily, Britney was quick on her feet. She

immediately went to find Hartie, who wasted no tcontacting Vincenzo.

Vincenzo, upon hearing the news, grabbed sfabric from his shop and, along with Hattie, raced to catch up

with the group. They didn’t travel far outside the city before spotting Harlan’s carriage. Vincenzo quickly tied the

cloth to himself and launched himself onto the roof of the carriage. Harlan, preoccupied with his thoughts, didn’t

notice a thing.

Isolde and Hazel were both trained in combat, so when Vincenzo found their pressure points, they both woke up

almost immediately.

It was easy to get two unconscious people out when three of them had the skill to move quickly. To avoid being

seen, Vincenzo carried each person one by one, returning each twith a heavy rock in his arms cover their

tracks. Once Isolde and Hazel were safe, he dropped the rock back into place and covered in a brocade cloth.

Hattie, careful not to get too close, had to stay a distance away to avoid being noticed. Vincenzo was doing all

the heavy lifting, which left him exhausted.

-After dismounting the carriage, they found only two horses left. Vincenzo, ever resourceful, urged one

horse back into the city to hire a carriage.

Isolde, initially intent on causing a scene at the Duke's estate, had second thoughts when she considered the

strange goings-on in Zloimond. She decided to use this opportunity to investigate. So, the group took a different

route, heading east, unaware of the impending disaster at the Duke's estate.

They didn’t learn of Harlan’s mishap until they reached Arnsen County. Isolde, who had been suffering from

stomach pains, had to rest there for two days. It was then that traders from Argentum brought news that Isolde’s

carriage had fallen off the road at the Duke's estate.

When Isolde heard this, she immediately told Noelle and the nanny to return to Argentum while she, along with

Hattie, Hazel, and Vincenzo, would head to Zloimond.

Upon arriving, Isolde wasted no tand went straight to the local authorities to inquire about Doug. She

learned that he was staying at the posthouse.

When she arrived, Doug had just returned from Beaupids Mount, looking disheveled and weary. Th once Kamari’s

territory, and with no official command from the King to act against Kamari, even Oliver actions were done in

secret. Doug had to use Zloimond as an excuse for his visit-he couldn't openly be involved in the rescue efforts

at Beaupids Mount, so he cto the area under the guise of leisure.

Isolde’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Doug’s grim appearance. She almost didn’t want to approach

him.

Doug sighed deeply when he saw her, his voice heavy with disappointment. “You stubborn girl... What are you

doine here in Zloimond? This is not a place for you

Though no conflict broke out, the tension between them was palpable. Holde’s presence here was undeniably

dangerous.

Isolde squinted against the harsh winds, her eyes stinging from the sand as she asked, “I heard Beaupids Mount

collapsed. What general was trapped under the rubble

Doug's expression changed instantly, his eyes clouded with pain as he quietly said. “Let’s go inside and talk.”

Isolde followed him, her mind racing with the unspoken dread in his words. Hattic, Hazel, and Vincenzo were

silent, sensing the gravity of the situation.

The posthouse was simple but clean. Outside, a few soldiers stood guard, and inside, the warm autumn. sunlight

streamed through the leaves, almost blinding in its intensity.

Isolde felt an odd mix of heat and chill, her limbs numb from the long ride. Her heart was pounding

As she climbed the stone steps, her legs felt weak, and she almost stumbled. Vincenzo, quick to react, caught

her just in time. “Are you okay?”

“I'm fine... just hungry, Isolde replied with a strained smile, trying to lighten the mood. “The horse is hungry too

and struggling to keep its feet. It's no surprise I'm tired.”

But her smile, wide as it was, didn’t reach her eyes. Vincenzo, seeing through her facade, remained silent.

Doug turned and glanced at her, but didn’t say anything. He just continued forward, hands clasped behind his

back.

Once inside, Doug led her directly to a private room and instructed Vincenzo to close the door behind

them.

Isolde suddenly felt as though she were walking to her own execution, waiting for the inevitable blow. The weight

of her thoughts hung heavily in the air, her mind blank, but every nerve on edge.

Doug gestured for her to sit, but she remained standing, frozen in place, eyes fixed on him.

Seeing her like this, Doug's heart twisted with sorrow. His voice was almost a whisper as he said, “You and Oliver

didn’t know each other long... | imagine there wasn’t much real affection between you.”

Isolde’s fingers tingled as she answered, “Yes, we didn’t know each other for long.”

But deep inside, she knew they had a bond-formed through shared life-and-death experiences. They had been

through too much to not have sconnection, even if it wasn’t the kind of love she had hoped for.

Doug sighed heavily, regret evident in his eyes. “If | had known things would turn out this way, | wouldn't have

suggested you consider Oliver.”

“Beaupids Mount collapsed completely,” Doug continued, his voice thick with emotion. “Oliver w under the

rubble, and they haven't found his body yet.”

ipped

Behind them, Hattie and Hazel gasped, covering their mouths in shock.

Isolde felt as though the world had tilted beneath her. She could almost hear the battlefield in her mind- the

sight of Oliver dying before her eyes. As a soldier, his death would have been a noble one, honorable and fitting.

But to hear that his body was still missing was more than she could bear.

Her ears rang as she whispered, “They haven't found his body?”

Doug looked at her with concern, his voice trembling. “Isolde, are you okay?”

Isolde managed a thin sinile. T'm fine”

Protis

But then, as if her mind snapped back into focus, she pushed herself up from the chair. Her hands clenched into

fists, her breath coming fast and ragged. “If they haven't found him, then he’s still alive! He doesn’t know where

we are, but he’s waiting for us to crescue him. Don’t you understand? He could be calling our names right

now.”

“Calm down.” Doug said, reaching for her, his voice pained. “It's been half a month. The chances of him still

being alive are slim. We have to hope we can find his body and bring him home.”

Isolde shook her head, pushing him away as she pulled the letter Oliver had given her from her sleeve. Her eyes

locked onto it, unblinking and resolute. “He promiseda surprise. He's not the kind of person to break a

promise. He wouldn’t-he couldn’t-lie to me.”

Hattie stepped forward, her voice full of conviction. “Yes, Oliver will survive. He's strong, and he never gives up.

He'll be okay.”

Hazel nodded firmly. “We'll go and search for him.”

Doug sighed deeply, looking at the three of them with an almost defeated expression. “If we're going to search,

we'll have to wait until night. The Kamari people have set up a blockade, and it’s impossible to get through

during the day. But tonight, the blockade will be lifted.”
