Doug shot her a glance, full of indulgence, and said, “You’re just talking nonsense. So, what do you really

think?”

Isolde straightened her posture and said, “You don’t need to go out of your way for me. If it works out, great. If not, then so be it.”

“So be it? You’re just going to give up that easily? Rosemary has already spoken, and I believe Clark isn’t too keen on inheriting the Duke’s title either. Are you really willing to let your father’s achievements fall into the hands of those incompetent people? Let their descendants live off your father’s legacy?”

Isolde replied calmly. “This kind of thing can’t be forced. I trust that the King already has his own plans.”

“You’re that confident?” Doug, seeing how sure she was, felt reassured.

“Half and half. Isolde said with a smile.

“Then that’s settled. I’ve wasted my trip today. I’m leaving Doug laughed, clearly relieved.

“Not staying for a meal?” Isolde stood up and asked.

“No, I’m leaving.” Doug pinched her cheek and said, “Eat more yourself. Put on some weight.”

“Got it.” Isolde grinned at him.

Doug felt a pang of sourness in his heart. He patted her check lightly twice before turning to leave.

Isolde slowly sat back down, and before she knew it, tears welled up in her eyes.

Esme, who had been watching from outside the door, quietly stepped back to let her cry in peace.

She sighed softly, feeling genuinely heartbroken for the young lady.

At Claymont Palace, Ashley was certain that the King would summon her tonight, so she asked about the customs at Ivylane Spring.

Vivian explained, “After the King selects someone, the eunuch in charge of the imperial bedchamber will come with the decree to escort you to Ivylane Spring for a bath. At this point, you need to tip the eunuch, because only if you do will they prepare dried flower petals for the bath. The King likes the scent of flowers but dislikes incense. You absolutely cannot skimp on this tip. After the bath, the eunuch will take you to the King’s chambers, where you should just lie there quietly. The King doesn’t return to the palace early, so remember–not too much water from now on. Sometimes, you may have to wait an hour or two. If you drink too much, it will be inconvenient.”
