The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

hapter 84 Ambush

After Isolde finished speaking, she went to retrieve the painting before handing in to Helena

Helena opened it and took a look. Stunned, she asked, “Is this a painting of shining ligh

“Yes. I didn’t know what to draw, so I drew what came to mind, Isolde said with a smile

Helena slowly rolled up the painting and looked up at Isolde sadly. She said, “Miss Langley, we grew up together. Are you abandoning me now?”

Isolde was surprised that Helena could see through her. But on second thought, it was nothing shocking They grew up together, and Helena had always been able to tell what Isolde was up to.

Isolde sat Helena down and asked, “Helena, let me ask you. Do you like Lad?”

“Not really,” Helena said.

“Then do you hate him?”

“No.” Helena shook her head with a flushed face.

Isolde reasoned, “Helena, I need you to do this for me. If you don’t marry Lad, Father will keep pestering Mrs. Wood and try to make me marry Lad. However, if Lad is married, Father won’t be able to threaten me anymore. Are you willing to do this for me?”

Helena’s eyes were wet as she replied, “Alright. Stop talking. I know what you’re thinking.

Helena was well aware that she was just a slave. The best path she had set for herself was to marry a servant and give birth to the next generation of servants. She would never be able to break free from being a slave.

She was beyond lucky to be able to marry into a proper family like the Wood family.

“I’ll send the painting over tomorrow,” Helena said with tears in her eyes.

Isolde’s eyes were teary, and her heart ached. She hugged Helena and said. “I will miss you dearly. But I must not keep you here forever. You’ll eventually start your own family. Thankfully, the Wood family lives nearby. You can come back to visit me anytime you want.”

Helena broke down in tears.

The next morning, Isolde went out with Hattie and Hazel.

Michelle was already waiting at the entrance. She only had a maidservant with her, but that girl was an unfamiliar face for Isolde. The maidservant walked nimbly without staining her heels with dust

With just one look, the Goodwin sisters could tell that the maidservant was proficient in martial arts.

“Isolde, you look quite handsome today.” praised Michelle as she smiled at Isolde.

Isolde was dressed as a man today. She did not put on a puffy skirt or jewelry. Her hair was tied into a bun, and she carried the Flowing Cloud Whip on her belt. She was wearing a pair of goatskin boots, which made her look like an adventurer.

On the other hand, Michelle was dressed in a white dress with a large petticoat. She covered her face with at
