Isolde returned to the Pearl Tower, called for Noelle to bring water, and took out a porcelain bottle, ripping a single pill into her palm.

The pill was red, carrying a faint fragrance.

She swallowed it, emotions surging within her.

Her paths had seldom crossed with Oliver’s, yet in her past life, he had died saving her.

Fate was a strange thing. She had never imagined that after being reborn, the first person to show her kindness would be the very man who had once sacrificed his life for hers.

The implications sent shockwaves through the city. As speculation ran rampant, Margaret wasted no time in taking action.

However, the moment the news got out, Margaret’s stance shifted. She declared that instead of marrying in as a wife, Eleanor would have to enter as a concubine first.

If Eleanor weren’t pregnant, Margaret wouldn’t have given her even that much.

Milton refused. His daughter came from a noble line–if she couldn’t be a wife, then at the very least, she deserved a grand wedding, one that granted her the same respect as an official wife.
