Isolde had just come back from a walk with Leonis in the garden when she saw Harlan approaching. With a playful smile, she teased, “Harlan, did you know I was having sweet cakes at The Pearl Tower today?”

Harlan, without smiling, looked at her and said, “Sweet cakes can wait. Pablo is here.”

Isolde blinked in surprise. “Pablo? Didn’t he just return to Argentum?”

“Yes, he’s already here. Your father is seeing him. Please, go out and meet him.” Harlan stepped closer and spoke softly, “Pablo likely wants to talk about the engagement again. William is no good–do not agree to anything.”

Isolde nodded, understanding. “Of course, I wouldn’t marry him anyway.”

She quickly changed into another outfit and left with Noelle and Britney.

In the main hall, Pablo was already earnestly apologizing to Geoffrey. As Isolde entered, Pablo was still visibly angry, his face flushed with resentment, recalling the events of the previous night.

Isolde composed herself, straightened her posture, and walked in briskly. She bowed gracefully and said, “Isolde greets Pablo, and congratulates you on your great victory and triumphant return.”

She wore a simple green silk gown, elegant and modest, with her hair tied up in a simple bun, giving her a fresh and wholesome appearance. Her face was free of makeup, but her bright eyes shone with genuine joy.

Geoffrey watched her–what a lovely, intelligent girl she was.

It pained him to think of how unfairly she had been treated, labeled with false accusations, and now rejected by a man who could never appreciate her.

Pablo, filled with shame, couldn’t help but feel responsible for the tragedies thrust upon her.

He had come expecting to find a sorrowful, despondent Isolde, yet to his surprise, she was still so cheerful, so full of life.

“Isolde, I’ve come today to apologize,” Pablo said solemnly.
