Chapter 145 Pablo Flares Up

But despite everyone eagerly awaiting Bradley’s appearance, he did not show up.

Instead, someone brought in a barrel of fine wine, presented as a gift from Bradley to Pablo.

The wine was presented publicly, and it would be rude not to share it with the crowd. Pablo immediately poured the wine and passed it around, raising the mood of the gathering.

The atmosphere was electric as the wine flowed, but Pablo seemed somewhat displeased. Every now and then, he cast a cold glance at Geoffrey, his eyes reflecting hidden anger.

The wine, a gift from Bradley, was indeed of high quality. One sip, and a warmth surged within, loosening muscles and invigorating the body. Everyone marveled at its effects.

Rosemary, however, chuckled inwardly as the crowd continued to praise the wine. It was no rare vintage- this was the same as the wine served at the banquet. The excitement was merely due to the fact that it had come from Bradley himself.

Since it was a victory banquet, the conversation inevitably turned to how the battle was won.

Pablo, though, was not one for grand storytelling. He spoke of the war in a very plain manner, though it was clear to Isolde that the victory had been fraught with danger at every turn.

The banquet went on until late into the evening, past the hour of the pig, and Queen Dowager had stayed the entire time. When the officials began to leave, she stepped forward to bid them farewell.

Having drunk a little wine, Queen Dowager’s complexion was flushed, almost as if she had applied rouge. Her usual regal demeanor softened with a smile as she looked at Geoffrey, saying, “Next time you’re in the -palace, bring your daughter along for me to see.”

Geoffrey was taken aback, his heart skipping a beat. He quickly replied, “Of course.”

He had never expected the Queen Dowager to bring up Isolde during the banquet. Usually, when someone is named “County Princess,” the conversation would pass in a few days. But this time, it was different.
