Isolde didn’t pull away. Instead, she held his hand in return, and the two of them walked quietly toward the pavilion.

The wind gradually picked up, and the chill of early winter became more pronounced.

But the scenery was beautiful. The garden was bathed in golden light, and the sunlight was as clear and bright as glass.

They sat down, and Isolde looked up at him. “How did we end up at the point of getting married?”

Thinking back, it really did feel miraculous.

Her life had already been ruined.

She couldn’t believe that God had been so kind to her.

As she thought this, the face of the Queen Mother suddenly flashed through her mind, and she laughed. Why would I think of her!

She was Queen Mother who was the mother of the world. However, she was still a mortal after all. How could she control people’s destinies?

Looking back now, from the first time he saw Isolde at the Langley residence and accidentally hurt her, to the time they went to Wolf Mountain to rescue Theodric and spent the night hiding in the mountains, they had been nothing more than strangers passing by.

He had never imagined that the two of them would become so deeply intertwined.
