Clark couldn’t help but shake his head in frustration. “How could this happen? If the younger generation doesn’t understand, that’s one thing, but now even the elders are causing trouble? The title of Marquis isn’t theirs to inherit, even if you don’t take it.”

Oliver spoke darkly, his frustration evident. “They know they can’t inherit it, but in the eyes of the family. they believe the title must pass to a male heir. That way, the Langley family can still have influence in Argentum, with relatives holding titles like Counts and Dukes, and they’ll have stature in Zrork City. But now that Isolde has inherited it and married me, they don’t see her as part of the Langley family anymore.”

Clark asked cautiously, “Isolde, with this situation, do you think we should report it to the King?”

Isolde slowly shook her head. “No need.”

“Then what do you plan to do?” Clark pressed.

Isolde’s gaze hardened. “I’ll first present the mountain deed to prove that this land belongs to me. My parents had the right to be buried here.”

“What if they still oppose you?” Oliver asked.

“I’ll start with diplomacy, and if they persist, I’ll handle it my way,” Isolde replied coolly.

She was burning with anger inside. Normally, in her old temperament, she would have stormed into the church and smashed everything in sight, not caring about her reputation, just releasing her fury. But now, she felt there were times when a more strategic approach was necessary.

Her father’s reputation had to be protected.

If they pushed her too far, she would escalate things.

After a hasty meal, she packed some food to take back with her.

Outside the church, there was a vast open space where the funeral procession had set up camp. Ten tents were connected, with the coffins resting in the central tent.
