Chapter 268 Except He Can’t See It

Isolde was deeply moved.

The battle in Zloimond had been extremely perilous. Before Oliver arrived, they had fought against twenty clite Zloimond warriors, exhausted and on the run. Behind them, three thousand soldiers faced five thousand enemy troops–a clear disadvantage.

In that battle, no one cared about their own lives. The slightest hesitation would have meant death.

Geoffrey had fought with everything he had to secure victory.

“My lady, he truly knows he was wrong.” Harlan continued, seeing her moved expression. These days, he’s spoken to me mostly about you. He regrets it so much. He’s so proud, yet he’s repeatedly admitted to me that he was wrong. “He deeply regrets how he treated you and how he didn’t take your mother away to live elsewhere. He said the tragedies that befell you and your mother were entirely his fault. He’s so full of remorse, so regretful, that even I can’t bear it…”

Harlan choked up as he spoke.

Isolde’s heart was a whirlwind of emotions. She said softly, “Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll just go in and see him. I won’t mention confessing his crime at all.”

Harlan thought he had persuaded her and nodded, “Good, I’ll go in with you.”

Isolde touched her stomach and said somewhat sheepishly. “I haven’t eaten tonight. Could you make me something to eat? I’m hungry.”

“You haven’t eaten? Why not? You’re staying at the Valen residence. Surely they’re not skimping on your -meals? Harlan said, concerned.

Isolde pouted, “It’s not that they’re skimping. I just didn’t feel like eating. Ashley is staying at the residence and has even recognized Margaret as her godmother. She disgusted me, so I didn’t want to go out to eat. I was planning to ask Esme to prepare something later, but I was in a hurry to come here, so I didn’t get to

Harlan laughed, “How could you be so silly? You’re not eating because someone disgusts you? Who’s suffering then? Alright, go in first and spend some time with him. I’ll make you some noodles. No one is in the kitchen now, so only I can cook for you.”

Isolde chuckled, “That’s perfect. Make a bit more. Maybe… he’ll eat some too.”

“Alright, alright!” Harlan was even happier hearing this and immediately turned to leave.

Isolde watched Harlan’s joyful retreating figure, feeling a twinge of guilt.
