Her Majestic Battle Cry

Chapter 1152

After Jacob and Luke’s investigation, they learned that the situation wasn’t as simple as it first appeared.

According to Kyle, Adrian’s initial investigation showed that David had believed Isaac brought him good fortune, but it cost him his health. Despite seeking treatment from many renowned physicians in the capital, none could cure Isaac. Eventually, he was sent to a temple for healing.

This suggested that David did care for the child, as a dad would, and it was common fo e youngest child to receive the most affection.

However, based on what Luke had learned from the elderly stewards and servants working for the Earl of Silverstone’s extended family, David in truth despised Isaac deeply. The servants couldn’t recall his attitude at the very beginning, but it was clear David had treated Isaac poorly over time.

They even gave examples of such situations.

During Vincent’s birthday celebration, Isaac–who was then called Seraphina–was carried into the banquet by Vincent himself. At that time, Vincent’s health had greatly improved, and he was full of energy. But afterward, David had dragged Isaac out. He claimed Isaac had tired Vincent, and had given Isaac ten hard strikes on the palm.

These things were likely unknown to the masters of the house, but the servants had witnessed

them.

Another time, Vincent took Isaac hunting, and they caught a white fox. The fox fur had been given to Isaac. But later on, it was Viola who wore it.

There were many other small incidents where David showed clear signs of dislike toward Isaac. Many servants had witnessed them, including those who shared these details with Luke.
