Oliver didn’t leave the palace right away. Instead, he went to pay his respects to the King, hoping to gauge

his stance.

But Clark stopped him and said in a low voice, “The decree has been written. Their heads and positions are safe, but their precious sons and young male members of their families will have to enlist in the army at North Camp under Isolde’s command. They’ll report tomorrow.”

Oliver was impressed. With this move, those officials would have to behave themselves unless they wanted their bloodline to end.

“There’s more.” Clark walked alongside him and added, “For the next two years, they won’t receive their salaries. By the time things settle and their resources run dry, the King will find a way to deal with them one salaries. By the time things settle and their resources r by one.”

Oliver expected that, but he recalled Thelma’s warning. If Theodore intended to take them down, he would have to fabricate charges. When that happened, both he and Isolde would likely be implicated.

Thinking of that, Oliver was filled with worry.

After leaving the palace, he headed straight for the Sharps‘ estate.

Isolde had been waiting for him. “My grandfather just got back. I already greeted him. Talk to me first before you go see him.” She pulled Oliver toward the pavilion.

Noticing her lips turning pale from the cold, Oliver took off his cloak and draped it over her. “Dress warmer next time.”

“Okay.” Isolde fastened the cloak. Sticking out her tongue playfully, she looked pleased.

The cloak dragged on the ground because Oliver was just too tall.

Oliver said, “The Queen Mother gave them a scolding–fierce as ever. I was there, and even I was terrified. She told them it was only because I pleaded for them that the King spared their lives. Clark said-”

Isolde cut him off, “Clark? You just met him?”

“Yeah,” Oliver said flatly.

“Oh, okay. Go on.” Isolde cast him a sideways glance.

Oliver continued, “The King is sending all the young male members in their families to North Camp. From now on, they’ll be under your command.”

“A brilliant move,” Isolde remarked, noticing his troubled expression. “Is there anything else?”
