Isolde looked at Nicole seriously and said, “You’ve seen my relationship with Father. He’s unwell, and I can’t care for him myself. There’s also the lingering resentment in my heart. That’s why I want to mend things. between us, and I’ll need you to look after him more in the future.”

Nicole responded quickly, “You don’t even have to ask. It’s my duty–I will take good care of Geoffrey.”

Isolde took her hand and squeezed it. “Hearing that puts me at ease.”

Nicole glanced at their joined hands, hesitated for a moment, then placed her other hand over Isolde’s. It was a small gesture, but one made with newfound determination.

They didn’t exchange more words, but Isolde knew that Nicole’s attitude toward her might slowly start to change.

When she returned to the Pearl Tower, Esme greeted her. “Did you talk? How did it go?”

“She should understand now.”

“Lady Nicole needs to grow into her own person. If she remains so timid, how can she ever accomplish anything? I hope she truly gets it this time,” Esme said.

Hattie, listening in, scoffed. “Why even bother with her? Let her be however she wants. It’s not like you need her.”

Esme gave her a light slap on the head. “You’re still young–you don’t understand. Family is family. Why create enemies when you can have allies? Having one more person on your side is always better than having another against you.”

“I don’t see the point. Either way, I’m never getting married,” Hattie said flatly.

Esme chuckled. “That’s not up to you. Sometimes, fate has its own plans. You might swear you won’t marry, and then one day, you meet someone you want to be with, and it won’t be so easy anymore.”

Hattie’s eyes lit up. “You sound like you have a story. Tell me!”

Esme smirked and shot her an amused glance. “I once thought about marriage when I was younger.”

“Then why didn’t you? Palace maids can leave to marry when they come of age, right?”

“Why should I tell you? You’re too nosy,” Esme replied with a laugh before walking away.

The day of the wedding arrived in the blink of an eye.
