The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 99 | Want to Marry You

Isolde knew very little about the Marchioness of Greystone.

Finished

The person the Queen Mother trusted most by her side was now mostly in the palace with her. Her maiden name

was Rosemary, but no one knew her family name.

She was eccentric, domineering, strong-willed, and clear-cut when it cto grudges and favors, and she was

particularly protective.

If anyone were to speak ill of Princess Bourbon, she would flip the table and fall out with them on the spot.

However, when others praised her daughter, she didn’t like to hear it either. She was a person who couldn't be

influenced by either soft or hard persuasion. No one knew how her mother had ended up with such an

outstanding daughter.

The Marchioness of Greystone didn’t look at her, simply drinking her tea with a cold expression.

Once the matter had cto a close, the ladies resumed sipping their tea to cover up the awkwardness of

having pried into someone else’s family affairs.

Priscilla began to talk about the customs and traditions of Caelmont, and everyone listened with great interest.

When she started talking about the food, it made everyone's appetites stir.

“My mother-in-law gained a few pounds in Caelmont, all from overindulging in food,” Priscilla finished, stifling a

giggle.

Prudence chuckled while scolding her, “You impudent woman, how dare you make up such things about me?”

Though it was a playful scolding, it clearly showed the harmonious relationship between mother-in-law and

daughter-in-law. It made everyone feel that the only flaw in the Duke’s estate was Matilda, the Duke of

Blackmoor’s second wife.

The atmosphere gradually beclivelier, with everyone sharing amusing stories they had encountered.

Isolde sat quietly beside the princess, casually nibbling on snacks and sipping the special tea that only Prudence

could bring back from Caelmont.

Outside the pavilion, the gatekeeper hurriedly approached. Seeing everyone inside talking, he didn’t dare to

enter and merely peeked his head in.

“What's the matter?” Priscilla asked when she saw the gatekeeper.

The gatekeeper quickly responded, “Two people have coutside, saying they are Miss Langley’s friends from

Windermount. They wanted to see Miss Langley.”

Priscilla’s face lit up with delight upon hearing this. “Since they are Isolde’s friends, bring them in quickly.”

Isolde sipped her tea, thinking about the visitors from Windermount.

She did have many friends from there, but she also had many enemies.

her enemies.

She didn’t know if this was a coincidence, or intentionally arranged.

Finished

Isolde slowly turned her gaze towards Prudence, but it seemed like Prudence didn’t notice. Instead, she was

talking with Lady Vandenberg, Rebecca, about matters in Caelmont, speaking with bright eyes and a cheerful

expression.

Soon, the gatekeeper brought the guests over. A young man and woman, both around sixteen or seventeen

years old, appeared. Their clothing was not extravagant, but it was decent, better than that of an ordinary

household.

Upon seeing Isolde, the young man appeared somewhat excited but refrained from approaching due to the

number of people present.

Priscilla greeted them, “Hello, you are from Windermount?”

The exceptionally handsyoung man smiled at Priscilla, “Yes. I'm Anthony Bentley. Nice to meet you!”

“Hello, nice to meet you!” The young girl also greeted respectfully.

“Mm, Isolde, why don’t you welcyour friends? Please ask them to sit and have stea,” Priscilla

suggested.

Isolde looked at them with a meaningful smile. Friends? No, never.

She had once fought with the neighboring village, and Anthony was the son of the village head.

They were enemies.

Isolde didn’t move, but Anthony stepped forward and suddenly knelt before Prudence, startling her. “What are

you doing, young man? Get up!” she exclaimed.

But Anthony continued to knock his head on the ground with several loud bangs, then raised his head and

pleaded earnestly, “I'm Anthony, a native of Windermount, eighteen years old, comes from a family with a farm.

| have ctoday to ask for a marriage.”

“Marriage? What kind of marriage?” Prudence’s face darkened. “You may leave for now. We'll talk about this

matter later.”

Anthony refused to get up, stubbornly stating, “Isolde and | have privately pledged ourselves to each other in

Windermount. She said when she turns fifteen, she will send forto ask for her hand in marriage. | have come

today, as promised, to request your approval for our marriage.”

The room erupted in astonishment. They didn’t expect the County Princess of Cromwell to behave so

disgracefully. No wonder Margaret had broken off the engagement.

Prudence was enraged upon hearing the words “Secretly pledged.” She immediately shouted, “Nonsense! Get

out of here! Don’t spread such rumors and ruin the reputation of my family’s daughter!”

Anthony looked at Isolde with a determined expression. “Isolde, you should kneel withand beg your

grandmother to approve our marriage. We made a lifelong vow at the matchmaker’s church, and we have

already shared a bed together. We are husband and wife.”

“Nonsense!” Prudence shouted in fury. “Someone, drag this fool out! Don’t let him disturb the ladies’ enjoyment

of their tea!”

However, Isolde stood up, walking calmly over to Anthony's side. She smiled at him and replied, “Anthony, my

dear, you remember our vow at the matchmaker’s church? If you hadn't brought it up, | might have forgotten

about it.”

Seeing Isolde acknowledging it, the room was struck silent with shock, Everyone turned their gaze to Isolde in

disbelief.

Anthony's eyes darkened, a depth in his gaze that belied his youth. “I remember. | remember every word you

said.”

Isolde still smiled brightly and said, “Get up, what are you begging for? It was just something childish we did

when we were six or seven years old. You're such a fool to keep that in your heart. We weren't even sleeping

together, just that twe went hunting and slept on the grass.”

Aveline laughed, “Six or seven? Childish!”

Anthony looked at her, slowly stood up, and said, “Before you went back to the capital, you askedto come

and ask for your hand in marriage. Does that still count?”

Isolde blushed and said, “Asking for marriage isn’t your own doing. Besides, you can’t askabout that, you

should ask my father. How could | answer you?”

Priscilla and Prudence exchanged glances. Prudence had no expression on her face, but Priscilla was somewhat

surprised. It seemed that Isolde was handling the situation with ease, as if she had been prepared for it.

Moreover, all these things were fabricated, yet she spoke as if they were completely true.

Such lies seemed so effortless, as if they were nothing out of the ordinary.

But Anthony looked at her, his gaze deep, and said, “I've turned down several marriage proposals from my

father just to wait for you. Givea definite answer today. If you are willing, | will go ask your father for your

hand.”

Such a devoted young man made all the ladies laugh.

However, he was indeed foolish for asking a girl in front of so many people.

“Hazel!” Isolde called out.

Hazel stepped forward, “Your Highness, what is your command?”

Isolde said, “Hazel, please take Anthony to the Paletein Manor and tell them he’s my old friend from

Windermount. Let them take good care of him first.”

Anthony stubbornly refused to leave, but he couldn't resist Hazel’s skilled technique.

With one swift grab and pull, he was dragged back, stumbling down the stairs.

Isolde smiled and said, “Anthony, please rest at my teacher's house for now. You know him, and later I'll visit you

with Clark.”

She didn’t arrange for him to stay at her residence but instead sent him to Paletein Manor first, with plans to visit

him later along with her brother. There was no mistake in the arrangement.

Even Lady Vandenberg, Rebecca, praised, “The County Princess handles matters well. It shows the Duke's

estate has a great upbringing.”

Prudence smiled slightly and said, “Madam, you're too kind!”
