After Isolde left, she ran straight to the edge of the reservoir, collapsing onto the ground as tears poured from her eyes.

A broad hand gently patted her back, and a cloak was draped over her shoulders.

Isolde turned her tear–streaked face to see Garrett’s eyes filled with sorrow and pain. She wiped her tears roughly, her voice thick with emotion. “I’m fine, really, I’m fine.”

Garrett sighed heavily. “I know about your father. I never thought he would go this far for you. I misjudged him.”

He sat beside her, stretching his long legs out, but winced slightly as if in pain. He bent them again, adjusting his position.

Isolde noticed the small, subtle gesture and it made her heart ache even more.

Natasha was slipping away, and now Garrett, too, was growing frail. Patricia had mentioned before that Garrett had many old injuries. In his youth, he could endure them, but now, with age, it was constant pain in his legs and back. After the last battle, he had fallen from his horse, injuring his head and legs. His eyesight had worsened since then.

Isolde crouched down, pressing her hands on his legs, massaging gently.

Garrett grasped her hand. “It’s nothing.”

But Isolde pulled away and continued, her voice cracking, “Please, I beg you–stay healthy. Stay with me a little longer.”

Garrett spoke softly, “Life and death are fated. Wealth and honor are granted by the heavens. Some things, we cannot control. If we can’t defy fate, my girl, you need to accept it.”

Isolde shook her head. “I can’t accept this. This is the one thing I can’t accept.”
