The Swordswoman's Revenge Story after Rebirth

Chapter 266 We Are Different

However, this incident showed that not everyone respected Finnian’s reputation.

Margaret was pleased to see the tension between Isolde and Ashley.

#Finished

She believed that Isolde’s anger stemmed from Ashley’s sudden shift in allegiance. After spending several days

visiting Isolde’s room, Ashley turned around and recognized Margaret as her godmother. Isolde probably felt that

she had been played by Ashley.

Since Margaret had started opposing Isolde, she had never won a single battle. Now, even a small victory felt like

a good start,

However, what Isolde said next made her very unhappy.

“Since you are now Pablo’s adopted daughter, should we prepare money when you enter the palace?” Isolde

asked.

Margaret hadn't considered this before, so when she heard Isolde’s words, she was momentarily stunned. Her

expression then turned displeased, feeling that Ashley had ulterior motives.

Margaret wasn’t someone who cared much about money. She had plenty of it.

But Ashley was entering the palace, so the dowry couldn't be shabby. Giving away so much for no reason made

her uncomfortable.

She said indifferently, “Of course, we will prepare one. Everyone can also contribute to her dowry.”

She said this while looking at Isolde.

Before Isolde could speak, Oliver said. “How can younger siblings contribute to their elder sister's dowry?”

It was always the elders who contributed to the dowries of the younger ones. It was unheard of for younger

siblings to contribute to their elder sister's dowry. Even giving gifts wasn’t appropriate.

Ashley remained silent. She knew this rule and understood that Margaret was reluctant to part with the dowry.

So, she said nothing

Whether Margaret was willing or not, she would have to provide the dowry. Otherwise, what was the point of

Ashley’s kowtow?

Isolde looked at Margaret's pale yet slightly greenish face, which showed the frustration of having tried to gain

an advantage but ending up at a loss. She couldn't help but smile faintly.

Dealing with a scheming person was never easy.

This was just the beginning. Dealing with Ashley wouldn't ccheap.

The matter of recognizing Ashley as a goddaughter was brushed over lightly.

Pablo said, “Alright, now let's discuss serious matters. Oliver's wedding needs to be reorganized. Although the

King has arranged the marriage and the Ministry of Rites will handle the formalities, our family must also ensure

everything is done properly. The guest list must be finalized in the next two days and sent to their residences in

advance. As for the betrothal gifts, prepare a list forto review.”

Finished

Pablo nodded, “Good. Now that Oliver is getting married, what's due to him should be sorted out and returned to

him”

Margaret's eyes flickered briefly, “Of course”

After giving these instructions, Pablo ordered that tonight's dinner be made more lavish to serve as the

recognition party.

Ashley’s expression darkened slightly. When Pablo mentioned the wedding earlier, he had referred to it as a

“serious matter.” In his eyes, recognizing her as a goddaughter wasn’t a serious matter, but Oliver and Isolde’s

wedding was

Agnes suddenly smiled, “Getting married is a joyous occasion. However, Isolde is a Langley, and Oliver is also a

Langley. | wonder how outsiders will view this, Oliver, have you considered changing your surnto Valen...”

Before Agnes could finish speaking, Pablo flew into a rage. “What surname? Oliver is the son of Douglas. He's the

Langley family’s bloodline. No matter what his surnis, he remains my son. As for the rule against marrying

someone with the ssurname, Queen Mother abolished that long ago. What nonsense are you spouting?”

The prohibition against marrying someone with the ssurnhad been a long-standing rule in the Eryndral

Empire and even in previous dynasties.

Previously, the law explicitly stated that people with the ssurncould not marry.

When Queen Mother assumed power, she issued an edict abolishing this rule, stating that there were many

people with the ssurnin the Eryndral Empire, and it would be a pity to miss out on good matches

because of this.

Although the rule was abolished, the long-standing tradition still made people somewhat resistant to marriages

between individuals with the ssurname.

Especially among noble families, there were still certain customs.

Seeing her father’s fury, Agnes smiled and said, “Pablo. I'm not being picky. I'm just worried that the two might

be ridiculed by outsiders. Besides, although Oliver is from the Valois family, he grew up in our Valen residence

and calls you father. What's wrong with changing his surname? Unless Oliver is unwilling?”

Pablo said coldly. “If Oliver changes his surname, there’s no problem. The hereditary title of Marquis of Valen

must be passed on to someone.”

Hearing this, William's expression changed tically, and he glared at Agnes with resentment.

Agnes was stunned. She had only wanted to make Oliver uncomfortable, not actually suggest he change his

surname. In fact, she wouldn't want him to change his surname.

But hearing Pablo’s words, she suddenly realized the implications. She quickly said, “Pablo, | was just joking to

lighten the mood. Oliver is the only descendant of the Valois family. How could we a im to change his surname? If

he did, Douglas would probably cafter me.”

With that, she laughed.

No one else laughed.

The atmosphere was extremely awkward.

Chapter 266 We Are Different

Moreover, Pablo's face was still dark, looking like he was on the verge of exploding

Oliver smiled and said, Pablo, shall see go and have swine?

Pablo’s expression immediately relaxed. “Alright

Ashley hadn't expected Pablo to value Oliver so much, even more than his own children

This was unexpected

It seemed that she would need to win Oliver over as well

Finished

The fact that Oliver could calm Pablo’s anger with just one sentence showed that Oliver had a significant

influence on him.

Oliver wasn't particularly clever, but unfortunately, he had a very clever wife.

Isolde was almost cunning.

But compared to herself, Isolde was still slightly inferior.

At the time, Ashley had already guessed Isolde’s intentions. She was nothing more than using the natural

disaster to raid the mansion. Did she really have a compassionate heart? People with ambition and strategy were

never kind-hearted.

If Kamari had listened to Ashley earlier, things wouldn't have cto this.

Well, that man was arrogant and domineering Following him might not have led to great achievements.

Now, although entering the palace meant starting from the bottom, she was at the edge of power. She could

slowly infiltrate and, one day, stand in the position Queen Dowager once held, ruling over the world!

“Aren’t you afraid your brain will overheat from all that thinking?” Isolde’s mocking voice sounded in her

car.

Ashley looked up and saw that people were gradually dispersing, and Pablo had already left.

Isolde stood beside her, looking at her with a sarcastic expression as if she knew exactly what Ashley was

thinking.

Ashley smiled faintly, “Princess Langley, your great victory in Zloimond has changed you. But don’t forget your

origins. Speople, even if dressed in phoenix feathers, are still just pheasants at heart.”

She had already investigated Isolde’s background and somewhat looked down on her.

Isolde smiled faintly, “People are like that. Those of low origins often mock others with similar

backgrounds. What's that called? Birds of a feather? Oh, sorry, that’s not quite right. I'm human, and you and 1

are not the same.”

With that, she walked out with Oliver in a grand manner.
