Chapter 98 Speak Up for Justice

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond to this topic.

Prudence had always been composed and valued her reputation. Today, she had specifically organized this flower appreciation gathering only to clarify the situation.

Everyone turned their attention to the figure standing outside with Princess Bourbon, Isolde. A look of doubt appeared in their eyes.

Seeing her appearance and attire, which resembled Prunella so much, they recalled how Doug had once shown favor to Prunella while pretending to be a cunuch. Eunuchs were often known for their biased actions. They began to wonder if it could really be what they were thinking

They wondered if the so–called teacher–disciple relationship was just a cover.

Aveline gently shook her head, fearing that after this banquet, Doug would no longer dare to protect Isolde.

It wasn’t that he cared about his own reputation, but he cared about Isolde’s. Doug was very concerned about her.

Prudence was going to cut off Isolde’s backer.

By bringing this up in public, Isolde, who was standing nearby, couldn’t even defend herself. As an unmarried woman, if they accused her of having an affair, how could she argue? Just saying those words alone would give people something to gossip about.

Even if Isolde tried to explain, no one would believe her.

It would only make things look worse.

Regardless of whether this matter was true or not, no one else would be willing to marry her. Perhaps she couldn’t even stay in the capital city, Argentum, after this.

Prudence truly knew how to strike without bloodshed.

She was putting Isolde in a dead–end situation, even ruining the Duke of Blackmoor’s reputation in the

process.

Aveline glanced at Isolde, wanting to shake her head, signaling her not to speak. After all, some things were useless to explain.
