It had been the same in her past. The King issued a decree, offering a reward of five thousand thalers for accurate information. Whoever provided the clues could claim the money.

But by the eighth day, no one came forward to take the reward. Instead, they found the lifeless body Lord Theodric.

Isolde hesitated. Should I tell Princess Aveline?

If she stayed silent, events would repeat themselves: Lord Theodric would meet a violent end, and Princess Aveline would lose her mind.

But if I speak up, will the Princess even believe me? And if she does, how could I explain how I knew?

The truth would only bring trouble, trouble Isolde had no wish to face.

Frustrated, she rose to her feet. “Helena, come take a walk with me.”

Helena glanced up. “Hungry again, my lady?”

In the past, their outings were often for food. The blank vegetarian meals served in the Duke’s estate were never enough to satisfy Isolde. Now and then, she would sneak out to find something more filling.

“Yes!” Isolde didn’t bother to explain. She scooped up Leonis and headed for the door.

Once outside the Duke’s estate, they wandered until they came upon an elegant tavern and settled inside.

Isolde rarely visited places like this. She preferred to grab something simple from a street vendor and return home. Taverns, on the other hand, were gathering places for young nobles pretending to be cultured. Common folk were there too, but they tended to sit in the courtyard, sipping plain white ale.

The Queen, in her time as regent, had ushered in an age of peace and prosperity. After driving out the barbarian hordes, she opened the realm to new ideas and encouraged the arts. Poetry, song, and painting flourished, and taverns like this became havens for aspiring poets and artists.

Today, the tavern buzzed with energy. The patrons were abuzz with talk of Lord Theodric’s disappearance.

At the neighboring table, a group of young nobles sat in richly tailored clothes. Two young ladies accompanied them, their manner refined and their dresses immaculate. Behind them, servants stood quietly, their expressions guarded.
