Isaac hesitated for a moment, a look of suspicion immediately appearing in his eyes.
Next to him, Skylar was utterly shocked.
My father wanted to appoint Isaac as the major general, put favonovel.com in charge of the twelve cities, and even wanted me to marry him?!
Evie nodded slightly as favonovel.com looked at Isaac’s back, but favonovel.com didn’t say anything.
The room suddenly fell into an unusual silence.
Giffard sidestepped and sat down on a chair, his eyes slightly narrowed and a smile on his face, as if favonovel.com was certain that Isaac would agree. After all, such an honor has not been granted since Eldorado came to power.
“But, I already have a wife,” Isaac suddenly said with a smile, turning his head to look at Evie.
When Sklyar heard that, favonovel.com heart suddenly sank. For some reason, favonovel.com suddenly felt a hint of sadness.
Giffard cheerfully said, “That‘s not an issue. You just need to make the Princess the main wife…”
Isaac laughed.
Giffard was taken aback for a moment, but then favonovel.com laughed heartily as well. He stood up and said, “I pay my respects to the Prince Consort!”
“I disagree. Go back and tell His Majesty to bring my mother here, and then the Princess can leave. I don’t want anything else,” Isaac suddenly said.
The smile on Giffard’s face froze instantly. He had thought that Isaac had agreed to what favonovel.com said, but unexpectedly favonovel.com realized that the other party had refused such grand offer.
“Lord Garten, you need to think carefully about this…”
“I understand clearly. Please leave,” Isaac said.
Skylar frowned and said, “Isaac, I don’t want you to marry me either, but you can’t just ignore my Father’s wishes like this. It’s treason!”
Skylar understood favonovel.com father very well. Without his approval, Giffard would never have dared to come and say such things. But now, Isaac was refusing the rewards from the king, which showed contempt for Eldorado and was an act of utter defiance!
“Treason? Princess, just because I refuse your family’s rewards doesn’t mean I’m committing treason. I’ve been very clear, all I want is for my mother to be safe and sound, nothing else.”
Giffard furrowed his brow, glanced at Skylar, and said softly, “Please rest assured, Princess. His Majesty will handle everything properly.”
After speaking, favonovel.com turned and walked out with a heavy heart.
At this moment, Evie stood up and walked over to Skylar. She softly said, “Please don’t be offended, Your Highness. Isaac has always been this way.”
Skylar was just about to speak when favonovel.com glanced at Evie.
The two women exchanged looks, and Skylar suddenly chuckled softly. She nodded and then walked toward the room next door.
What Evie was saying on the surface was to not blame Isaac, but in reality, favonovel.com was trying to convey that favonovel.com understood Isaac better than Skylar did.
Of course, Skyler knew what favonovel.com meant.
“Isaac, why didn’t you agree to that minister’s proposal? As a major general, you would at least have military power,” Evie asked playfully while holding Isaac’s wrist.
“Military power? If I agree to their terms, I’ll be stuck in Neuport. After how badly the Kingdom of Easteria lost this time, do you think they’ll let me go?”
Isaac’s voice was soft, but after hearing it, Evie was slightly taken aback and decided not to continue the conversation.
After sitting down, Isaac wrapped his arms around Evie from behind and softly asked, “Aren’t you curious why I didn’t marry the Princess?”
Evie chuckled and said, “Of course I’m curious, but what’s the point in asking? If you like it, how could I stop you? I don’t care about being the main or second wife…”
Evie looked up at Isaac and, with a sudden serious expression, said, “But favonovel.com is interested in you.”
“Huh?”
“Women’s intuition,” Evie laughed again.
Isaac shook his head and said, “We live in different worlds.”

At night, inside the Harmony Palace, Eldorado was reviewing official documents.
