Eremembered when she was leaving the palace, Doug had cto see her. Since she was going to the

residence of a high-ranking official, she had first sought Queen Dowager’s permission.

She clearly recalled that Queen Dowager had said to her, “The person you are going to serve is very important

to me. She has suffered a great deal. Take good care of her and assist her well. You are skilled in managing

household affairs, so help her with those. She is not destined to be confined to the inner chambers.”

At the time, Ethought Queen Dowager was referring to the hardships Isolde had endured while living in the

manor or the fact that she had grown up lonely and isolated, living like a commoner despite her noble birth. She

had no idea that Isolde had actually died once and cback to life.

Having her belly cut open, her child taken away, and then being burned alive-what a cruel and horrifying fate.

Tears welled up in Esme’s eyes as she silently walked away.

Isolde needed to enter the palace. While it wasn't as difficult as before, it still wasn’t easy. Without summons,

she couldn't enter the palace casually.

Oliver, however, was different. He could move freely in the presence of the King. So, Isolde asked him to go to

the palace first and inform Queen Dowager that she wished to enter the palace to pay her respects.

After Oliver left, Isolde sat in front of her dressing table, her emotions taking a long tto settle.

The hatred she had forcibly suppressed crushing back, burning her heart like a raging fire. She wished she

could storm into the Valen residence and kill Margaret and William right then and there.

Ewalked in, holding a cup of ginseng soup. She placed it on the table and picked up the half-finished

embroidered egg, handing it to Isolde. “Continue.”

Isolde stared at the nearly completed egg, her mind still filled with everything Oliver had told her.

After her death, her remains had been hung on the city gates for three days as a warning. She had never

expected him to show any regard for their past relationship, but to climb to power by stepping on her remains-

he had truly done it.

“Embroider. Calm your heart and be the bride you're meant to be,” Esaid softly as she sat down.

“Esme, you don’t understand!” Isolde said in anguish, tossing the embroidery onto the floor in frustration.

Ebent down to pick it up and placed it back in front of Isolde. “Trust me, | understand everything. But life

must go on. Now, you're about to live the life you've always dreamed of. You have someone who loves you.

You're no longer a lonely little girl who has to live at the mercy of others. Now, you can protect everything you

have, and even if you can’t, there are many people who will help you.”

Isolde looked at her blankly.

“You have so much now. Don’t let the past drag you into the mud. Revenge is important, but liv the present is

what matters most. So, calm your heart and continue being the bride you're meant to be. My lady, you are the

happiest, most beautiful bride. A radiant bride!”

Esme’s voice choked with emotion, and tears welled up in Isolde’s eyes.

Slowly, Isolde calmed herself. She took the embroidery and picked up the needle, stitching through the fabric

with steady, repetitive motions. The texture of the embroidered egg was different from the smooth silk, but the

pattern had its own rhythm, circling around until it was complete.

Yes, she was different now. She had so much, the life she had always dreamed of in her past life.

She had people who loved her, people she cared about-so many of them.

She couldn't lose all of this because of hatred.

She put down the embroidery and hugged Esme, her voice hoarse, “Thank you. Thank you for understanding

everything but never pointing it out. Thank you for always being by my side, shieldingfrom the storms.”

“I don’t know anything, and | haven't done anything!” Esme’s nose tingled with emotion as she pushed Isolde

away, pretending to be stern. “Keep embroidering. I'm still not satisfied. As long as you don’t give up, you can

embroider a life that satisfies you.”

Isolde sniffed. “Yes!”

Estood up, her stern gaze softening into one of deep affection. She took a deep breath and walked out.

Don’t give up. Embroider a life that satisfies you.

Isolde exhaled softly, almost unable to believe how easily the raging anger in her heart had been subdued.

Perhaps it was because Oliver had said they still had important things to do.

Though she didn’t know what those things were, she knew that living well was the right path.

Oliver cagain that evening. Queen Dowager was unwell, but she had granted Isolde permission to enter the

palace the next day to pay

her

respects.

Isolde couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning, filled with nervousness. Memories flooded her mind, and

though she had calmed down during the day, the quiet of the night brought back the piercing pain and bone-

deep hatred.

But more than anything, she was nervous, nervous about what she was going to ask.

She was awake, but it felt like a dream.

The things Oliver had said earlier now felt like a dream when she thought about them.

What was going on? She had died and cback to life once, and Oliver had died once and seen things he

hadn’t experienced in his past life. It was all so bizarre.

She even began to wonder if her past life had really been as Oliver described, or if it had all just been a

nightmare.

But those experiences had felt so real. It wasn’t a dream. So, was this a dream? Or was everythi her a dream,

something she had conjured up before her death?

She didn’t know. Her mind was a chaotic mess, and she felt as though she had lived through a lifetand then

been pulled out of it.

She wasn't herself, yet she was herself.

Would she find the answers tomorrow?

If Queen Dowager could give her answers, then who was she? Was she truly the one who controlled everything in

the unseen world?

Finished

She suddenly remembered a thought that had flashed through her mind a few days ago. She had wondered if

there was someone in the unseen world who controlled everything, and Queen Dowager’s face had appeared in

her mind. Was it just a coincidence, or was everything arranged?

The next day, she woke up before dawn.

Eknew she was going to the palace and had also dressed early to accompany her.

Noelle and Britney cto help her get ready, while Hattie and Hazel prepared breakfast outside. The room was

bustling with people. Isolde ate half a bowl of milk with bread. Palace etiquette was complicated, and it was best

not to drink too much water to avoid the inconvenience of needing to relieve oneself later.

The bread was filling, and since Queen Dowager was ill, many concubines would likely cto pay their

respects. It was uncertain how long they would have to wait to see her.

It was still dark when they left the house.

Coincidentally, it was an early court day, and many officials were waiting outside the palace to enter.

Since Isolde was going to the inner palace, she bypassed the east gate and headed for the west gate.

Outside the west gate, there were also noblewomen waiting to enter the palace. Most of them had been

summoned by the palace concubines and were family members of the concubines.

The Queen was kind and allowed the families of the concubines to visit the palace once a month. Now that

Queen Dowager was unwell, they had all ctogether, hoping to make a good impression in front of her.

The family members of Layla were also there, including Caroline, who had helped Margaret.

The Hanson family had seen Isolde before. When Isolde and William were engaged, they had caught a glimpse of

her. However, Isolde had been shy and avoided attention, so even though she now stood at the palace gate after

getting out of the carriage, they didn’t recognize her.

At the front was Princess Aveline. When she noticed someone approaching, she turned around and recognized

Isolde. With a warm smile, she said, “Isolde, cstand by me.”
