Isolde really couldn’t find a good match. Or rather, Geoffrey didn’t find a good match for Isolde.

Geoffrey listened to Xavier and found a marriage for Isolde.

The man, Lad Wood, was the son of his former subordinate. After his father’s death, Lad received bereavement compensation from the Royal Court, Later, he entered the High Magistracy of Argentum and now worked as the executioner.

His first name was actually just a nickname. After his father died on the battlefield, Lad wasn’t named. His grandmother gave him that nickname. He was the darling of the Wood family.

Lad’s mother remarried when he was five years old. Thus, he grew up with his grandmother.

His grandmother sold scones and bread on West Street. At first, it was just a small stall. Later, she bought a shop and their income was quite stable.

Geoffrey carefully selected from countless candidates, and finally chose Lad. Other than his family background, Lad was a great candidate.

Lad’s family was simple as he only had one grandmother. When Isolde married him, her life would be quite comfortable. This was the best Geoffrey could do for Isolde..

Therefore, Geoffrey invited Lad and his grandmother, Raine Wood, over as guests. It was also for Raine take a look at Isolde.

Isolde knew Lad from her previous life. Or rather, she knew Raine first.

In her previous life, when Isolde was in the estate, she preferred plain food. She always brought Helena out to look for food. The bread Raine made were delicious, and she could eat three at a time.

Raine and Isolde knew each other in their previous lives, so they naturally knew each other in this life. However, Raine did not know that the girl who often came to her shop to eat was the Duke of Blackmoor’s daughter.

Lad had just turned 20 this year and had been an executioner for two years in High Magistracy of Argentum.

It was difficult to find a match for him too. After all, his family had some assets. If Lad wanted to marry a daughter from a small family, he could do it at any time.

However, Raine had not found anyone suitable after searching for nearly two years.
