The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 99 I Want to Marry You

Isolde knew very little about the Marchioness of Greystone.

The person the Queen Mother trusted most by her side was now mostly in the palace with her. Her maiden name was Rosemary, but no one knew her family name.

She was eccentric, domineering, strong–willed, and clear–cut when it came to grudges and favors, and she was particularly protective.

If anyone were to speak ill of Princess Bourbon, she would flip the table and fall out with them on the spot.

However, when others praised her daughter, she didn’t like to hear it either. She was a person who couldn’t be influenced by either soft or hard persuasion. No one knew how her mother had ended up with such an outstanding daughter.

The Marchioness of Greystone didn’t look at her, simply drinking her tea with a cold expression.

Once the matter had come to a close, the ladies resumed sipping their tea to cover up the awkwardness of having pried into someone else’s family affairs.

Priscilla began to talk about the customs and traditions of Caelmont, and everyone listened with great interest.

When she started talking about the food, it made everyone’s appetites stir.

“My mother–in–law gained a few pounds in Caelmont, all from overindulging in food,” Priscilla finished, stifling a giggle.

Prudence chuckled while scolding her, “You impudent woman, how dare you make up such things about me?”

Though it was a playful scolding, it clearly showed the harmonious relationship between mother–in–law and daughter–in–law. It made everyone feel that the only flaw in the Duke’s estate was Matilda, the Duke of Blackmoor’s second wife.

The atmosphere gradually became livelier, with everyone sharing amusing stories they had encountered.

Isolde sat quietly beside the princess, casually nibbling on snacks and sipping the special tea that only Prudence could bring back from Caelmont.

Outside the pavilion, the gatekeeper hurriedly approached. Seeing everyone inside talking, he didn’t dare to enter and merely peeked his head in.

“What’s the matter?” Priscilla asked when she saw the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper quickly responded, “Two people have come outside, saying they are Miss Langley’s friends from Windermount. They wanted to see Miss Langley.”

Priscilla’s face lit up with delight upon hearing this. “Since they are Isolde’s friends, bring them in quickly.”
