The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 296 The Atmosphere at the Palace Gate

Esme breathed a sigh of relief, feeling both relieved and pleased as she watched Isolde.

Isolde’s temper had improved significantly.

Aveline led Isolde to greet each of the noblewomen one by one.

“This is the Queen’s mother, Mrs. Morris.”

“It’s my honor to meet you, Mrs. Morris,” Isolde curtsied.

“Greetings, Princess Langley,” Lady Yuan returned the gesture with a kind and gentle smile, clearly impressed.

“This is Consort Cora’s mother, Lady Wondery, honored by the King.”

“Hello, Lady Wondery!”

“Greetings, Princess Langley.”

After this round of introductions, Isolde received generally positive feedback.

The main reason for this was that despite her status as a princess and the King’s appointed General, Isolde remained humble and respectful, neither overbearing nor submissive.

Secondly, she had earned the favor of Aveline, who was known to be Queen Dowager’s adopted daughter and part of the inner circle of the royal family.

This inner circle included Aveline, Rosemary, and Elisa, the wife of Graeme–all close confidantes of Queen Dowager who could enter the palace without a formal summons.

While many sought to curry favor with this elite group, few succeeded, so most chose to keep their distance and avoid offending them.

After the introductions, the palace gates opened.

The procession began to move slowly and silently inside.

It was the fifth watch of the night, and the sky was still dark. As they entered the palace, they walked through a long palace corridor illuminated by bonfires on either side. The high walls of the palace isolated it from the outside world, and almost no sound from beyond could be heard.
