The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 205 Oliver Will Be Fine

Pearls

Sadie was the Queen Mother's precious pearl. She had free access to the palace, which meant no one bothered

to check her identity.

Isolde smiled at her. “Thanks, Princess!”

Sadie’s reputation was legendary. When people saw how familiar she was with Isolde, it clicked that Isolde was

soon to be her sister-in-law. No one dared to speak out of turn in front of Sadie.

The two of them made their way into the palace, where a palanquin awaited them. Sadie Bourbon waved it off.

“We'll walk. No need for that.”

“Of course, Princess, the supervisor said, bowing low. He knew better than to argue.

As they strolled along the long palace path, Sadie Bourbon spoke up casually, “Don’t let what those people. Say

get to you. Do whatever you want.”

“I'm not bothered,” Isolde replied, her eyes taking in the red palace walls and the golden, glazed rooftops that

seemed to stretch on forever.

“Good,” Sadie said, sensing that Isolde wasn’t just brushing her off. She fell silent.

The two of them did not have much to talk about as they walked.

There wasn’t much to talk about as they walked. Sadie was naturally reserved, and Isolde had a lot on her mind

but wasn’t in the mood to talk.

Then, out of nowhere, a man approached them. He was dressed in a green official uniform, his face handsome

and composed. He held a stack of books in one hand and didn’t notice them until he was nearly past. He was too

busy flipping through the pages, lost in his own world.

“Clark!” Isolde called out. Clark stopped dead in his tracks, a look of joy crossing his face. “Isolde? What are you

doing here?”

“The Queen Mother's chrysanthemum banquet is today. I'm here to attend,” Isolde replied with a sigh. You

bookworm, she thought, your fiancée’s right in front of you, and you don’t even notice.

“Oh,” he said, distracted. “Right. | forgot.”

His eyes then landed on Sadie. He froze for a second, blinking at her before his pale face flushed bright red. He

looked lost, unsure of what to do. His hands instinctively reached out in greeting, but then he remembered he

was holding a book, and it slipped from his grip with a loud thud.

...” His ears turned scarlet as he stammered, clearly embarrassed.

he quickly tried to correct himself. “1-uh-greet Princess Isolde... No, no, no... Sadie, Princess

Isolde couldn't help but want to smack her forehead. Seriously?

Sadie, ever composed, bent down to pick up the book. She flashed a warm, gentle smile, her eyes softening.

“Greetings, Lord Langley.”

“Thank you, Princess! Clark muttered, his face still burning. He took the book back, but he was so flustered it

was clear he couldn’t compose himself.

thought, she pulled out a handkerchief and dabbed at the sweat, wiping it away with casual grace.

Clark was completely caught off guard. His whole body went rigid as if struck by lightning. His neck turned an

even darker shade of red. Panicked, he mumbled a quick thanks and bolted, clutching the book like it was his

lifeline.

Isolde stared after him, her expression a mix of shock and pure frustration. She wanted to throw something -

anything-at him. What a disaster.

“Princess, my brother's not usually like this,” Isolde said quickly, worried that Sadie might be offended.

Sadie tucked the handkerchief away, her expression softening, a playful glint in her eye. “Isn't that cute?”

Isolde blinked in surprise. Cute? The guy who just bolted in front of his fiancee is cute?

She shook her head. Well, | guess we all have our quirks.

“This... is so cute. And it’s almost ridiculous... Isolde muttered. But honestly, it didn’t.

She just couldn't bring herself to call him cute. Not in a million years.

Sadie smiled, completely unbothered, and kept walking without a word.

Isolde trailed behind, still in a daze. For the first time, her brain couldn't quite keep up.

In her mind, usually, when a woman finds herself in a situation like this, even if she’s not mad, she'd at least be

disappointed.

But there Sadie was, smiling like she'd won the lottery.

Isolde’s scalp tingled with confusion.

“Your brother's hairpin is a bit damaged,” Sadie said suddenly, breaking the silence.

Isolde blinked, surprised. “Really?”

“Yeah, I'll get him a new one tomorrow. You can pass it along.”

“Uh... Okay.” Isolde nodded, relieved. At least the princess didn’t look down on her brother. That was something.

Sadie’s pace lightened, and that smile didn’t leave her face. It was almost like it was glued there.

Isolde still couldn't figure out why a royal like the princess would even look twice at someone like her brother-

she saw him as more of a “pheasant compared to her.

Fate has a weird way of working things out, huh?

She couldn't help but ask, “Princess, what's so special about my brother?”

Sadie glanced at her. “What's wrong with him?*

“He... Isolde opened her mouth, ready to list all his flaws-how he was soft, too trusting, and got easily misled.

But the words died on her tongue. She couldn't throw her brother under the bus like that.

“He’s got a good heart” Sadie said, sensing her hesitation and speaking what was on her mind.

Isolde gave a small nod. Yeah, she could agree with that.

Sadie went on. “No one’s perfect. We all have flaws, But character can change. If someone’s heart is rotten.

though, no amount of change can fix that. “On the day your brother was heading to the library, he found little

beggar who was hurt. He could've ignored him, kept walking, and never looked back-but he didn’t. “He took that

beggar straight to the medical center, no questions asked. That's when | really noticed him.”

Isolde paused, a little taken aback. “Princess, don’t you think it was kind of stupid? He risked everything to help

someone he didn’t even know.”

Sadie raised an eyebrow. “On one side, you've got your future-everything you've worked for. On the other, a life

of someone you don’t even know. It's easy to hesitate. But your brother didn’t. “He didn’t even think about it. He

just did what felt right. That says a lot. It means he values life. If he ever rises to a higher position, he'll make

decisions that consider the people. That's what makes him stand out.”

Isolde felt something shift inside her, hearing that. She hadn't thought of her brother like that before, but now...

She felt a strange sense of respect for him.

And at least now, she could rest easy knowing that Sadie wasn’t just toying with her brother. She genuinely

cared.

For the first time, Isolde stopped worrying that the princess would look down on him after marriage- because

she'd always feared that, given her brother was the son of a concubine.

“Isolde, Oliver will be fine, Sadie’s voice cut through her thoughts.

Isolde was lost in her own head when she heard Sadie, but she thought it was just a reassurance. “Yeah, I'm sure

he will.”

Sadie didn’t say anything more and continued walking.

But then, Isolde felt her emotions stir at the mention of her brother, her heart a little heavier. She sighed. softly.

After a long pause, Sadie turned to her, face serious now. “I mean it. He'll be fine.”

Isolde stopped dead in her tracks, grabbing Sadie’s hand as her eyes locked onto her. “You really mean it? Who

told you that?”
