The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 253 Do You Disgust Me?

+8 Pearls

After changing her clothes, Isolde looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She did not seem that ugly.

It was just that her skin was fair before the expedition, and she had never looked at herself in the mirror after the

expedition. She thought that she was still the sas before, but she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when

she saw her dark self,

“Isn't it beautiful? Like a healthy black pearl,” Emilia said with a smile. Seeing Isolde all red, she added. “Red

pearl!”

“Black and red pearls!” Noelle cleverly added.

Isolde knew that she could not listen to these uncultured people anymore. She was extremely embarrassed.

When she went out, she saw that Clark was also here.

She was instantly happy. “Clark!”

Clark looked much more mature. Perhaps it was because he pretended to be calm in the Valen family that his

immaturity faded and he looked like an adult.

“Isolde.” Seeing that there were other people in the room, he retracted his hand, though the look of relief and

excitement in his eyes remained unconcealed.

However, Isolde grabbed his hand and smiled. “Clark, why are you here? | was planning to go to Garrett's house

tomorrow and then go back to see you.”

T'd like to meet you.” Clark smiled.

Oliver also cout. He had changed his clothes. Coincidentally, he was also dressed in red. He did not usually

wear it, but he really did not have many clothes to wear now. The clothes that Pablo had prepared for him were

all in bright colors.

Pablo actually missed the twhen Oliver was dressed vivaciously, which was why he left these behind.

“Mr. Valois!” Clark quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

“Clark!” Oliver returned the greeting. He was more at ease than Clark. He called him Clark just like that.

Clark actually smiled foolishly and rubbed his hands as he looked at Isolde.

Pablo smiled and said, “Alright, sit down. It's almost tfor dinner. Clark is coming over. Let's have a few drinks

together.”

He took a look and did not see William. He asked Margaret, who was sitting at the side with a faint smile, “Where

is the unfilial son?”

Margaret replied, “He’s not feeling well, so | asked him to rest in the room and | will bring him- later.

“Loser!” Pablo scolded in a low voice.

How could he not know what William was thinking?

Margaret's eyes flickered for a moment before she lowered her gaze. “He hasn't been feeling well for a for days.

He just forced himself to go out to welcOliver and Isolde. He really couldn't take it anymore, so |

asked him to rest.”

“Really? Why? Which doctor did you invite?” Pablo was clearly not someone cauly deceived, and he didn’t even

spare Margaret any face, regardless of the outsiders present.

Margaret's face was slightly pale. “It’s Dr. Dean. His stomach has been in pain for a few days. If you care about

him, you should be able to see that his face has been very pale these few days”

“I only saw that his eyes were red. It is jealousy!” Pablo was angry at the mention of him and didn’t bother to say

anything else.

Margaret could not hold it in anymore. She stood up and said, “I have a headache and must beg your pardon for

not being able to accompany you further!”

Without waiting for Pablo to speak, she turned around and left.

Before she left, her gaze swept across Isolde’s face indifferently. Her gaze was sharp and vicious, and it

contained shocking anger.

Isolde’s eyes met hers for a moment. Her eyes were calm, indifferent, and as cold as an ancient well.

Beneath that ancient well surged the stormy bloodshed of past lives.

Her hand was suddenly held by Oliver.

She raised her head and looked at him. His eyes were quiet and filled with a myriad of thoughts.

Ashley also appeared at the door at the right time. Margaret bowed to her and strode away.

Ashley cast a thoughtful glance at her retreating figure, then looked at Isolde, and finally at the tightly clasped

hands of Isolde and Oliver. She smiled with almost irreducible sarcasm as she stepped inside.

Everyone wanted to talk, but when they saw Ashley enter, they stopped talking.

Pablo and Clark felt that she was the King’s concubine after all. They tried their best not to talk about private

matters in front of her.

Meanwhile, Isolde and Oliver were unwilling to talk about anything in front of her.

With that, they took their seats.

Eleanor and Cristina were concubines and could not be seated. Of course, they were unwilling to serve them, so

they did not appear.

With the King’s concubine around, this meal could not be too unrestrained.

However, after a few cups of wine, Pablo could no longer contain his soaring spirits and said to Oliver, “Having

returned from this ordeal and having quelled the chaos in Zloimond alongside Isolde, both the King and the

officials will regard you in a new light. However, you must remember one thing; guard against arrogance and

impetuosity, do not think too highly of yourselves, and be sure not to stir up trouble. “Whenever new favorites

rise to prominence, rumors and gossip are inevitable. The King will not take these words to heart if he hears

them once or twice. However, if he hears them too much, even if the King doesn’t

believe it, he will still feel annoyed, and in the end, it will becyour fault

Oliver knew that Pablo was speaking from years of experience in the officialdom, and considering the complexity

of the court's relationships and the intricacies of the power plays, to which he had sexposure, he promptly

set down his cup and after listening attentively, replied, “Yes, | will remember your teachings.

Isolde also said, “I will also remember your words, Mr. Valen

Pablo smiled at her. “Isolde, Although the King has arranged another marriage, you've married before. You

shouldn't callMr. Valen”

Isolde’s face flushed red, but she was not embarrassed, “Yes, father”

Clark strongly agreed with Pablo’s words. Indeed, in this court, people's thoughts were unpredictable. Who was a

true friend and who was an enemy could not be discerned easily. He could only be prudent in words and deeds.

Although he had not been in the palace for long, he had experienced many twists and turns. He really needed

these insights.

As soon as he started talking, he naturally talked about Oliver heading east.

Pablo asked about the traitor. Oliver brushed past him lightly. “I know about the traitor. Since he’s dead. there's

no need to pursue the matter.

When Ashley heard this, she glanced at him and smiled sarcastically.

Isolde changed the topic. “I have to go back to Sharp’s estate tomorrow and then back to Duke's estate, Oliver.

Are you free tomorrow? If you are, cwith me.”

“Sure!” Oliver said.

Clark said, “I'll be able to leave the palace at noon tomorrow. Isolde, go back to Marshal's estate first and return

to Duke's estate at noon. I'll be able to wait for you in the residence.”

“Alright!” Isolde said.

Ashley could tell that it was inconvenient for everyone to talk because of her presence. However, she had no

intention of leaving. She sat there and slowly ate and drank. Her eyes drifted from Isolde’s face to Oliver's face.

Her expression was deep and unclear.

The meal did not last long.

When they were leaving, Ashley suddenly stopped Oliver. “Mr. Valois, I'm new here and am not familiar with

Marquis Eldermere’s estate. | wonder if you can walk with me?”

“If you want to take a walk, I'll get someone to accompany you,” Oliver said indifferently. He raised his hand

and was about to call someone over.

Ashley said indifferently. “Do you hate me?”
