Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 446 Are You Going To Do It Or Not?

Compared to the tangled love-hate relationship between the male and female lead, the storyline of Zelena's supporting character, Isabella Fairchild, was much simpler.

Isabella was the daughter of Branholm's Chancellor. She had always harbored feelings for Charles. As soon as Charles returned from Valoria, she immediately offered herself to marry him and become his empress. Despite Charles's lack of affection for her, Isabella was content with her role.

Charles ultimately sacrificed his life for the empire he sought to build.

If Charles and Charlotte had been from the same country, they might have loved each other and spent their lives together as a couple, even if they were mere commoners.

Unfortunately, fate had other plans.

Their encounter was marked by inevitable separation from the moment they met.

The drama's portrayal of their romantic relationship was reserved and subtle, as Wade only briefly mentioned it in the script.

The only scene with romantic undertones featured them watching fireworks from the city tower.

They had enjoyed each other's company and shared a jug of wine.

However, Charlotte did not take the jug with her when she left.

Charles had picked it up and set it down several times, but he ultimately left it at the tower as well.

That action symbolized their decision to follow separate paths in life, each seeking to achieve more significant goals.
