Isolde listened in silence, continuing to eat her meal without interruption.

Only when she had finished did she put down her utensils, lift her gaze, and say, “They do want to find you a good match. Don’t overthink it. Tomorrow, I’ll take you out for a walk”

Isolde had already planned to visit some of her stores the next day, so it wouldn’t hurt to take Nicole out for a little change of scenery.

Nicole, however, only thought Isolde was just saying this to placate her. She said nothing, watching her leave.

Later that evening, when Clark returned home, Isolde once again shared a meal with him.

Clark, with a glint of excitement in his eyes, spoke about the Parliamentary Library, his tone lighter than usual. “I thought I’d be promoted to Imperial Scholar–Apprentice because of Doug, but today I found out Luka and Doug don’t get along at all.”

“Well, that’s a relief,” Isolde smiled.

“Yeah, he gave me a task today. I need to write a paper and present it to the King tomorrow,” Clark said, his voice tinged with both anxiety and excitement.

“You’ll do great,” Isolde encouraged.

Clark nodded gratefully. “Isolde, once I get my salary, I’ll take you out for a nice meal.”

“I’ll be waiting,” Isolde replied with a smile.

Clark hurriedly finished his meal and rushed back to his room.

Esme, watching him go, laughed. “Clark’s a completely different person now.”

“When someone gains confidence and purpose, they change,” Isolde replied.

Esme agreed with a nod.

The next day, Isolde had Noelle go to Wyngor Chamber to find Nicole and prepare her to go out.

Nicole didn’t expect Isolde to actually take her anywhere, so when she heard that, she quickly got out of bed, bathed, and dressed, rushing to meet her.

Though her body was still weak, after a few days of lying in bed, she felt mentally drained and needed a change of scenery. But being out in public without someone to support her made her nervous–she feared the gossip and whispers.

Nicole knew Isolde was strong–willed and would surely stand up for her if anyone dared to treat her badly.
