Isolde sighed softly, her voice tinged with regret as she said. “Prudence is getting on in years, her health isn’t what it used to be. Tattle, go to the apothecary and bring back a detoxifying, fire–clearing medicine for her. Tell her it’s my act of filial piety.”

Hattie let out a soft chuckle. A detoxifying medicine, huh? Seems like that’s exactly what she needs.”

Esme scoffed, a dark edge to her voice. “To think that a grandmother would speak of such things to her own granddaughter. It’s not just poison, her heart is rotten to the core.”

Hattie grinned. “Mr. Becker’s move is truly satisfying.

Esme’s eyes narrowed as she glanced at Isolde. “It could have been even worse, but he’s holding back out of consideration for Geoffrey. Otherwise, he’d have had Queen Mother handle the marriage. Prudence wouldn’t have lasted long.”

“Queen Mother would never arrange such a thing.” Hattie said, raising an eyebrow.

Esme smiled faintly, a knowing glint in her eyes. “You think so? Queen Mother is a playful person, and she despises those within the household who try to manipulate things.”

Isolde, recalling her past life, had always thought of Queen Mother as cold and stern. The idea of her being playful was something she hadn’t considered before.

“Queen Mother knows Isolde,” Esme added with a significant look.

Isolde raised an eyebrow. “Naturally, I saved Lord Theodric, and I heard it was Queen Mother who rewarded me for it.”

Esme shook her head. “It’s not quite like that. In time, you’ll understand.”

Isolde looked at her, a puzzled frown forming. “Esme, could you be more clear?”

Esme smiled. “If I explained it all, there’d be no fun in it. Let’s focus on what needs to be done. When Queen Mother’s will arrives, you’ll know it. It will be clear.”

Turning to Hattie, she instructed, “Deliver the detoxifying medicine to Prudence and give a dose to Priscilla as well. Let her know I appreciate her five million and the coffee–let it give her some peace of mind.”
