Chapter 123 Trouble in Zloimond

Doug’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, like a sword as he asked, “Who are you cursing?”

Isolde slowly withdrew her gaze and replied, “My old man.”

“Mm, he deserves it. Doug returned to his book, dismissing the conversation with a casual tone. “Alright, go

back.”

Isolde jumped up and squeezed herself beside him. “Wait, why are you always trying to get rid of me lately?

Doug set down his book and looked at her. With a smile, he reached over to ruffle her hair. I’m not trying to get rid of you. It’s just… with all the rumors outside, it’s better for you to stay away and avoid the gossip.”

Isolde, surprised, blinked a few times. “So you’re worried about what others will say about us?”

Doug laughed. “Of course, I care. Otherwise, I won’t be able to find a wife after all this.”

“You still want to find a wife?” Isolde raised an eyebrow.

“Why not?” Doug replied.

Isolde gave in, admitting, “Fine, you can.”

She stood up, her heart aching as she walked away. Tears welled up in her eyes, a deep sorrow tugging at her chest.

Isolde, you really have had the worst luck in life.

What right do you have to only seek revenge? You owe so much more to those who care for you.

Doug, fearless and rebellious, never worried about what others thought. Yet, for her name and future, he went to great lengths to avoid the rumors.

Once she left, Doug sighed deeply. The world may be harsh, but he, Doug, could defy the heavens, while she couldn’t. He couldn’t bear to see her suffer.

Women, they need a good marriage, a proper match. It was the only way. He didn’t want to be shallow, but the world forced him to be. He had too many enemies, too many complications. He couldn’t protect her forever.

If he could, he’d let her live her life however she wished. But he couldn’t.

Today, he was a mighty figure, the high–ranking Nine Thousand Years. Tomorrow, he might be a prisoner. his life in danger.
