Once Princess Aveline sat down, she took on a serious tone and said, “Karlier, Palo v to repay the for saving my son’s life. He sent a matchmaker to propose, and the engagement was set, with the marriage contract already signed. Now, since the two families cannot unite. Margaret went to the Thike’s exte break off the engagement. The reason she gave was that Isolde had sullied her reperation, but it has dece been proven that Isolde was only trying to save my son. She worked with Oliver to defeat the Will Mountain bandits, earning a great victory and even being honored by the King with the title of County Princess of Cromwell. I’m sure you’ve heard of it. I apologize for the long explanation, but it serves to show that the reason Margaret gave for breaking the engagement was unfounded. Since it was invalid, the engagement should be considered broken. Now that Pablo has returned to Argentum, Geoffrey believes it would be unfair to delay Isolde’s future marriage, and it is necessary to formally conclude this mater Pablo, what do you think?”

Pablo had been listening quietly, and after Princess Aveline finished speaking, he replied, “At the time the engagement was broken, I was on the battlefield and not fully aware of the situation. I will need to spet with Margaret and then report back to you.”

“Of course, please,” Princess Aveline said.

Margaret immediately stood up and said, “Pablo, may I speak with you privately?”

Pablo’s response was cool and unwavering: “There’s nothing that can’t be said in front of everyone. We can clear this matter right here.”

Margaret’s face paled, unable to believe he was willing to air all of this in front of so many people. How could she say those things aloud in public? What words could possibly be shared with everyone?

Pablo’s gaze fixed on her as he asked, “When you went to break the engagement, was it for the reason the princess just mentioned?”

All eyes in the room turned toward Margaret, and she felt a flush of embarrassment. Despite herself, she answered, “Yes.”

“And after it was confirmed, did you go to apologize to her in person?” Pablo pressed.

Margaret hesitated but finally spoke. “I sent someone to ask her… If Isolde agreed, the engagement would still stand.”

“Who did you send?” Pablo’s voice was sharp.
