Sarah spoke sofily, “I fear Isolde from Duke’s estate is not someone to be trifled with Milton has failed against her multiple times, and now Doug is involved. What exactly is the connection between Doug and Isolde? Why is he so protective of her?”

Margaret’s eyes narrowed with veiled distaste. Tve heard, Isolde was sent to Windermount when she was young. Doug, somehow, ended up there and took her as his disciple”

Sarali’s eyes widened in shock. “With that kind of father–daughter relationship, it’s definitel easy to handle.

Margaret sneered, “That cumuch… I can’t stand him. I don’t understand why Queen Mother relies on him so

much.

Sarah cast a quick glance at Margaret and quietly said, “Pablo and Doug both once pursued Prunella. After Prunella’s death, Doug took her daughter as a disciple, so it seems he’s quite the loyal type”

“A loyal type? He’s just a e unuch, a shameless man,” Margaret spat. When Sarah mentioned that Pablo had pursued Prunella, it was like a thorn embedded deep within her, one that had been there for years and caused her pain.

Sarah, noticing Margaret’s change in mood, gently said, “Come, let’s have dinner. William is probably still Webgomery Chamber. He didn’t stay there overnight last night; perhaps he’s just a little anxious.

Margaret replied coldly, “I didn’t let William go last night for two reasons. One, for Eleanor’s health–she only just miscarried a few days ago. Young men have no sense.

Second, I want her to understand that simply entering this family doesn’t mean much. Perhaps, it would be better for her to never enter at -all.”

She paused and then added, “Tell him to come back, but don’t let him stay at Webgomery Chamber tonight.”

Sarah nodded, then left.

As Sarah made her way to Webgomery Chamber, she hadn’t reached the door when a small black cat darted out from nowhere and leaped directly into her arms. Startled, Sarah stepped back and stumbled, falling to the ground.

Moriah, hearing the commotion, quickly rushed outside, and seeing Sarah on the floor with blood coming from the back of her head, she immediately helped her up, concerned, “What happened? Is it serious?”
