Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

Chapter 72

C72

"Why is Isidor being so meddlesome with me?"

At first, I suspected he had something to gain from my father.

He gave me a rare diamond worth as much as the price of a townhouse, so he might have thought that Duke Seymour cares deeply for me.

However, if his purpose was the Duke and not me, it doesn't explain why he simply gave me the book written by the head of the sixth-generation family.

He could have made a deal with my father with that book.

But assuming that Isidor likes me...

Somehow, it's quite dangerous.

It's really bad for the heart and blood pressure.

Warning lights lit up as I postponed my judgment for a while, but due to the Master's mysterious attitude towards Isidor, a overwhelming thought suddenly passed through my mind.

Could there be some kind of relationship between Isidor and the Master?

Maybe the reason Isidor is intervening, which wasn't written in the novel, has something to do with the Master?

Furthermore, there was a link between the two that I overlooked.

"The Crown Prince."

Isidor is friends with the Crown Prince, and the Master is the Crown Prince's conspirator.

It's possible that the Master pretended not to know when he already knew everything about Isidor.

Of course, it's just my assumption because there is absolutely no physical evidence.

Should I investigate Isidor through another information guild?

If the research results are different, it would be quite a good deduction...

"Princess, how is the water temperature?"

While I was lost in thought, the maid asked me a question, so I suddenly came to my senses.

"Please make it a little cooler."

"Yes, Princess."

I took a break while receiving the gentle massages from the servants, then I put on a robe and lay down on the bed.

I'm tired, so I'd better sleep.

My body feels heavy, but I can't sleep because so much happened today.

Philap disappeared, and the winner of the tournament changed.

The content of the match also became strange. Diery's glory was stolen by a nameless knight and was cut short by Isidor in 3 seconds.

However, the doubts about the absurd flow of the tournament were quickly resolved.

This is because the huge unknown knight, who had caused a major unexpected event in the joust, arrived in Armand the next day.

It was the first encounter with Oryx, who would later be called the undefeated jousting knight.

----------------

In the capital, where the heat of the jousting tournament had not yet subsided, the story of the knights who played an active role this time became a hot topic.

"The star of these jousts is Oryx Mirkain. I never thought he would hide his natural martial talent in the rural estate I've never heard of."

"I heard he's an apprentice who hasn't been officially knighted yet, so I heard he's been escorting people here and there."
