“It's alright. Ill have something with Doug” Isolde tidied up, tied her whip, and hurriedly said to Esme. “Til be
back by noon, so don’t follow me”
With that, she immediately left.
When she arrived at Paletein Manor, Doug was still asleep. The guard informed Isolde that Doug had only left the
palace at around midnight last night.
Isolde was very anxious and wanted to know if the King agreed to send troops.
However, she did not want to disturb Doug and let him sleep a little longer. These days, he was also exhausted.
She waited in the courtyard, her heart almost burning to ashes.
After waiting for about the tit takes to burn one stick of incense, someone cto inform her that Doug had
woken up.
Isolde hurriedly went in. “I'll be taking care of him.”
Doug had actually woken up before Isolde arrived. He had also heard Isolde talking outside and knew that she
was anxious. Since he could not sleep anyway, he simply got up.
“Doug!” Isolde quickly entered. Doug had just changed his clothes and was washing up. Isolde handed him a
towel and asked the servants to leave.
There were still water droplets on Doug's face. He looked at her indifferently and reached out towel to wipe his
face. “Why are you so early? Aren't you going to sleep a little longer?”
“What did the King say?” Isolde did not answer him but asked.

“Did you tell the King about my plan?” Isolde asked anxiously.
“I did.” Doug sighed softly. “I was even reprimanded by the King. Not only that, the King intends to publicize

Isolde suddenly felt she had been hit on the head. “A funeral? How can there be a funeral when the body hasn't
even been found?”
“It's very difficult to find his corpse. Even if we find it, it will probably be mush. Therefore, The King said to erect
a cenotaph and let his soul rest in peace Doug sighed.
Isolde sat down in a daze, d cenotaph? Without a corpse, how could his soul be at prace? Moreover, did the
announcement of his death mean that no one would keep searching for him?
The tears that had been welling up for a long tfinally slid down. “No, no, don’t give up. He's still alive,
even if...
Isolde took a deep breath and forced back her tears. She said with a trembling voice, “We should continue
searching until we find... the corpse,”
Doug hugged her gently. “Silly child, it's meaningless. Oliver doesn’t care about these...
Isolde’s shoulders trembled as she pushed Doug away. Tears welled up in her eyes again as he clenched his fists
and said excitedly, “But | care, | care. He shouldn't have ended up like this. | don’t believe it.”
“Do
you believe it or not, it’s the truth. Lettell you, the Grand King Emeritus has been gone for a while. but
there's been no word from that side. This means that Oliver is really dead,” Doug said cruelly. His eyes were red.
He really liked this young man and thought highly of him.
Isolde covered her face and cried. “Even if he’s really dead, are we not going to do anything? Are we not going to
take revenge?”
“It’s not that we don’t want to take revenge. We're just biding the time.” Doug advised. “In fact, the King values
Oliver greatly. He was very upset when something happened to Oliver. But mobilizing troops Isn’t simple.”
Isolde let go of her hands and shook her head in disappointment. “It’s not that the treasury is empty, is it? It's
not that the soldiers are tired, is it? The biggest reason is that the rebellion of the Zloimond King has yet to be
completely uncovered. No general is willing to attack him because the King is also a Conway. Moreover, the old
King is still highly respected. They all cherish their reputation and have never thought about the people.”
Doug looked at her with a complicated expression “It’s good that you know. The old King has extremely high
prestige. He is deeply respected by the people in Zloimond and has a good relationship with many officials in
Argentum. Morcover, over the years, the Royal Court clearly doesn’t need the Zloimond King to pay taxes, but he
will hand it over every year. It's the sfor the current King, Kamari Conway. No one can prove that he wanted
to use those gunpowder bags for war. Under such circumstances, who would be willing to lead troops to war?
Even if an King’s Edict is issued, it will only be met with perfunctory negativity, which could worsen the
situation.”

Isolde was indescribably disappointed. She had always thought that the Royal much. Furthermore, the King had
personally commissioned this official mission. He knew very well that the Zloimond King was going to rebel. How
could he not do anything?
Did he just watch as Oliver died in vain and the King rose to power?
She thought about it dejectedly, and she still did not want to give up like this. “What did Queen Mother say?

Doug said thoughtfully. “Queen Mother didn’t give any opinion this time. The King decided not to deploy troops,

When Isolde heard this, hope ignited in her heart. “Could it be that Queen Mother intends to send troops?”
“I don’t think so. However, | don’t dare to guess what Queen Mother means, Doug said.
Isolde asked. “Then does the King always listen to Queen Mother?”
“Yes, it's true. Queen Mother doesn’t really care about the affairs of the the King will accept her occasional

Isolde said excitedly. “Taketo see the Queen Mother, and I'll talk to her myself.”
Doug was shocked. “Are you crazy? How can you see Queen Mother just because you want to? Without a decree,
you can’t enter the palace.”
Isolde grabbed his wrist nervously. “Doug, you can go in. I'll pretend to be your maid and follow you into the
palace. Won't that do?”
Doug shook his head solemnly. “No, the Queen Mother's majesty must not be offended. Without her summons, if
| brought you into the palace, and her majesty becomes enraged, even | would be implicated.”
Looking at Isolde’s disappointed and heartbroken eyes, Doug was also sad. He advised softly, “Child, don’t think
about revenge anymore. The King knows what to do with the Zloimond King. If you feel like doing something for
Oliver, then lend a hand with his funeral arrangements.”
Isolde stood up and slowly shook her head. Her eyes were firm as she said, “In that case, | want to marry him!
