When Oliver urned around, Prudence let out an angry roar. The roar was muddled, the venom in her voice was unmistakable,

The butler closed the door and hid everything in the house.

Neither Geoffrey nor holde had ever provoked such a violent reaction from her

He did not expect Oliver’s visit to elicit such a strong response.

But upon reflection, it made sense. Isolde was now a Princess, a fact Prudence was well aware of Her only hope had been that Isolde would marry poorly, he looked down upon by her husband, and be despised by his family.

However, Oliver had personally come to assure her that he would remain devoted to Isolde for life. promising never to abandon her. This shattered her last hope. How could she not be furious?

She had clung to life, desperate to see Isolde’s downfall. Yet, despite her own suffering, she watched as Isolde thrived. How could she not feel despair?

The butler only guessed part of the reason, unaware of the depth of Prudence’s rage.

There was no familial bond between her and Isolde. She had harbored hatred for Isolde’s mother for years, and that resentment had festered into madness. From the beginning, she had been the matriarch of this household, controlling everything. To have her authority and dignity challenged by Isolde and her mother was more than just hatred–it was jealousy.

She was jealous, and driven to madness because both Prunella and Isolde had so easily obtained what she could never have. Both women had risen above her, a woman of humble origins who had spent her life battling concubines for a semblance of a good life.

Jealousy would drive one completely crazy.

She believed that a woman’s true happiness lay in how well her husband treated her after marriage, and this treatment was measured by how many concubines he took.

She could not tolerate concubines in this life and had fought with concubines for her entire life. Yet, she
