Love at the Wrong Table

Chapter 2188 The Heart Of A Beauty

“You know the truth. I’m not speaking nonsense!”

Isabella stood resolutely before the Blizzard Silver Dragon Spear, her expression calm.

Her composure wasn’t born of arrogance but from a certainty that Santiago would never harm her.

Because in her features, he could still see the lingering shadow of Jane.

“You may not have been the man who loved Jane the most, and perhaps you weren’t even the man she loved most.”

Santiago fell silent in anger. “The leader of the Five Poison Sect, Bailey Gray, loved my sister so much that he was willing to give up everything for her, even his own life! Do you think your love for her surpassed his?”

“I can!”

Santiago said firmly, “If Jane had needed me to, I would have died for her!”

“But you didn’t!”

Isabella’s words made Santiago faltered.

“It’s true that Jane married you. She bore your child. She supported your ambitions and helped Artemis win the election. I’m sure she did love you!

“But have you ever considered that her actions may have been driven by duty, by a desire to see Chanaea prosper? Perhaps, it was simply the will of the people.” Isabella continued.

Santiago lowered his spear and gazed up. “Nonsense. If Jane had been supporting me, it proved that she loved me more than anyone else! Your words contradict themselves.”

“No, they don’t!”

Isabella countered, “My bond with my sister ran deeper than anyone’s. I joined the Holy Trinity because of her. I understand her better than you ever could.”

Santiago stiffened, his grip on the spear turning his knuckles white.

“Jane wasn’t a pacifist or a compromiser. All she wanted was for Chanaea to grow stronger.”

Isabella continued, “But thirty years ago, Chanaea lacked the strength it has today. It needed peace to recover. Artemis was the right choice to lead during that time. That’s why Jane supported him. Nothing

“But

you and the people of Chanaea clung to outdated ideals. You’re preaching for peace while opposing war! Sometimes, war is the only way to achieve dignity and respect. The Holy Trinity understands this truth, and so does Jane. That’s why I carry her will.”

Santiago listened in silence and shook his head instinctively.

Isabella’s arguments make sense. But this can’t be Jane’s will.

Santiago replied, “No! If Jane were still alive, she would never let you join the Holy Trinity!”

“You’re wrong, Santiago!”

Isabella insisted, “If she were alive, I believe she would have joined us too!”

“No! Impossible!” Santiago objected.

“Then tell me. Do you know why she died at Yorick’s hands?”

Isabella’s words struck him like a thunderbolt.

He knew the meaning behind Isabella’s words.

“She did it intentionally!”
