Allan, feeling sorry for Oliver and Pablo, who had to attend court early the next day, said, “You two should head back. We’ll discuss this matter tomorrow. Win or lose, we’re family–let’s not let this cause any hard feelings.”

Pablo, burdened with guilt, sighed. “I’ll be entering the palace soon to teach the Crown Prince. I was hoping for a few quiet days before that, but instead, I keep getting caught up in these endless troubles. I feel truly ashamed.”

Allan gave a reassuring nod. “With a family this big, how could there not be the occasional conflict? It’s nothing too serious, and we’re already close to resolving it. Once William gets married, everything will settle down.”

“Him?” Pablo shot William a glare, his voice dripping with disdain. “I doubt he’ll ever amount to anything in this lifetime.”

“He’s still your son. If he turns out useless, the fault lies with you as his father. He’s not young anymore. Now that he’s preparing for marriage, he should also start looking for a proper position. He was trained in martial arts–it’s time he got some real experience in the military.”

Margaret’s face changed upon hearing this. She quickly interjected, “Father, sending him to the military might not be the best idea.”

“And why not?” Pablo’s irritation flared as he turned to her, eyes sharp.

Margaret hesitated before carefully replying, “I’m only worried that people will accuse you of favoritism.”

“Favoritism? Nonsense!” Pablo scoffed. “If he joins the military, he’ll have to start from the bottom, just like Oliver. Only with real battle achievements can he earn a promotion. Do you think Oliver was made a general the moment he enlisted?”

Margaret inwardly scoffed. That was pure luck–Oliver happened to enlist just as war broke out, and with the right people looking out for him, he secured military merit effortlessly. But now, in an era of peace, William would be stuck in endless training with no foreseeable advancement.

She knew better than to argue now. If Pablo truly insisted, she would handle it when the time came. For now, it was more important to find William another opportunity–if he kept drifting aimlessly like this, who knew when he’d finally get a chance to prove himself?

Back in their quarters, Isolde and Oliver exchanged looks, both finding the night’s events absurd.
