Defending, standing firm–these were foreign concepts to Clark. He sipped his coffee, unsure of what to say to Isolde.

He felt that everything running through his mind, or anything he might say, would be utterly unsuitable for her. She would look down on him.

“Isolde, come out here now!”

Martha’s sharp, furious voice rang out from beyond the door.

Isolde set her coffee cup down and walked outside, only to see Martha, accompanied by two maids, fuming with anger.

“Did you get addicted to slapping me the last time? Looking for more of the same?” Isolde said coldly.

Martha’s face turned bright red with fury. “I’m asking you–did you take the two bolts of cloud satin from the storeroom?”

de’s expression remained indifferent. “I didn’t take them. And even if I had, it’s not for you to be shouting at me like this.”

Martha snapped, “Ryker says you took them. Why don’t you admit it? That satin was bought for me by my mother! What right do you have to take it?”

Isolde furrowed her brow. Ryker was still trying to stir up such petty squabbles? It seemed he was only getting more idle.

Ever since Milton’s incident, she had given him a good talking–to. After that, he had kept his tail between his legs, thinking she’d let him off easy. But no, instead of letting go of a bigger scheme, he resorted to these childish tricks.

“Listen, first, I didn’t take it. Second, even if I had, you have no right to cause a scene here, Isolde said, growing bored of the exchange. She motioned to Hattic and Hazel, saying, “Take her away.”

Hattie and Hazel weren’t gentle when escorting someone out. One grabbed each of Martha’s arms and roughly dragged her away.

“Isolde, you better give it back, or I’ll go tell my uncle, and he’ll punish you!” Martha yelled in anger.

Isolde turned to Noelle. “Tell Ryker to come see me.”

“Yes, ma’am,” Noelle replied.

Ryker was quickly brought to her, head lowered, looking strangely odd without his two ears, his face unreadable. He muttered a quiet, “Isolde.”

“Did I take Martha’s cloud satin?” Isolde asked, her tone calm.

“No,” Ryker answered, his voice soft.
