The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 270 What Is Love

Finished

Harlan, standing outside, heard Geoffrey and Isolde talking. He sighed deeply, a look of relief spreading across his face. Reconciliation was good–after all, they were father and daughter.

Isolde stayed at the villa for two hours before leaving.

On her way back to the Valen residence, she remained immersed in the stories he had told her, unable to pull herself away for a long time.

When she arrived at the residence and handed her horse to the stable boy, she saw Oliver walking out quickly.

“Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Isolde asked in surprise. It was already past midnight, and he had to return to the Southern Watch tomorrow,

“I was waiting for you,” Oliver said, scrutinizing her carefully, afraid she might be hiding her distress.

Isolde exhaled, feeling the cold. “Let’s go back. It’s windy here.

“Are you cold?” He took off his outer robe and draped it over her. “How did the discussion go?”

“Harlan doesn’t agree, but I spoke to him privately, and he agreed. I’ll accompany him to the palace tomorrow, so I need Hattie and Hazel to distract Harlan first,” Isolde said, looking up at him and pulling his robe tighter around her. The robe carried his warmth and a faint scent of agarwood lingering in the air.

He liked to use Sage Fragrance.

The two walked back to the Ningser Pavilion. Leonis, with its sharp cars, pounced out. Isolde bent down to -pick it up, stroking its forehead. “Little one, still causing trouble this late?”

Oliver reached out to take it. Its claws are sharp. Be careful it doesn’t scratch you.”

Isolde smiled warmly, watching him hold Leonis like a child.

They walked inside, and Esme came out to greet them.

Isolde smiled wryly, “I go out for a bit, and no one can sleep? Am I really that important?”

Esme scoffed. “If you’re not important, who is? Coming back so late, and you didn’t even wear an extra layer. You must have been cold the whole way. You just caught a cold from falling into the water the other day. Why aren’t you more careful?”

She turned and went inside to make soup.

Oliver stopped at the doorway. “You should rest early. I’ll head back now.”

It wasn’t appropriate for him to enter Isolde’s room, especially so late at night. Even with wouldn’t look good if word got out.
