Clark shook his head. “The Parliamentary Library has no women. How could I have met anyone there?”

Isolde raised an eyebrow. “I’m not talking about people from the library. What about elsewhere? Like the streets, faverns, or coffee shops? Or when you accompany the elders to someone’s house?”

Clark laughed. “I spend every day either at the library or at home. I’ve never been to any tavern or coffee shops. And Luka hasn’t taken me out either. Even tonight, I only had a small meal at the library

Isolde studied him for a moment. He didn’t seem to be lying. But then, she remembered–Prudence had hosted a banquet before. Perhaps Sadie had seen him there. But did Sadie speak to him that day?

She decided to test the waters. “Do you remember meeting Sadie?”

“Sadie?” Clark paused, thinking. Is she Johnathan’s daughter? I think I’ve seen her, but I don’t really remember her.”

“Don’t remember her?” Isolde was slightly disappointed. Could Sadie have been lying?

“No, I don’t recall any conversation with her,” Clark said, curious. “Why are you asking about Sadie all of a sudden?”

Isolde shook her head. “Oh, nothing. I just admire Sadie and was wondering if you knew her.”

Clark smiled. “Even if I did meet her, Sadie is from such a prestigious family. How could she talk to someone like me?”

“Don’t sell yourself short. You’re a great guy, Isolde teased.

Clark chuckled. “It’s not about selling myself short, just knowing my place.”

Isolde grinned, then jokingly asked, “Have you ever thought about what kind of wife you want to marry?”

Clark shook his head. “That’s not something I need to worry about. My grandmother and mother will handle that. Even if I have a preference, it might not come true, so why bother thinking about it?”

Isolde fell silent, pondering his words.
