Chapter 23: Isolda Evergarden IX (1)


    The scene where Bertina, the owner of the Uranus Merchant Company was kneeling and bowing her head, was something unbelievable.


    And watching it, Isolda spoke in a trembling voice.


    This this cant be like this Lady Bertina how how can someone like you with a man like this..


    Just who was Bertina? She was the Lady of Blue Gold!


    She was one of the continents greatest merchants and the person that Isolda had been targeting all along, and she was one of the few people she recognized and respected.


    She was the person who mercilessly destroyed numerous merchantpanies and could be called a legend who held the Holy Empire in her grasp.


    Even Isolda in her prime didnt dare to think of confronting her, and her previous n of approaching Bahamut also served the purpose of absorbing his forces and gaining Bertinas recognition.


    That woman the strong Lady of Blue Gold, who was thought to be unmatched by anyone.


    Was now in the process of expressingplete obedience to the man whom Isda had once regarded as a foolish wimp.


    And, in front of Isolda, who was so astonished, Bertina raised her head and kissed the back of Bahamuts hand as she slowly sat back on the chair.


    It was the mark of an oath that signified loyalty.


    Afterpleting the final confirmation perfectly, Bertina opened her mouth in a quiet voice while looking at Isolda.


    Unfortunately, this is the reality. We, the Uranus Merchant Company, have already entrusted themselves under the wings of the Beden Merchant Company. And I as well both body and mind, have sworn an oath to be Lord Bahamuts faithful sl*ave.


    With those words, Bertina leaned her face into Bahamuts arms, as if she was being hugged by her beloved husband.


    Her blushing face was beset with a wriggling desire that desperately longed for something.


    Seeing Bertina behave like that, Isolda copsed on the floor as she received an intense shock, unable to stand on her feet.


    Ba Bahamut you you what the hell a guy like you really


    Isolda muttered in a voice full of fear.


    Until just a few days ago, she was burning with unfiltered vengeance against Bahamut.


    The fact that the man was a stronger enemy than she had thought was something she had already epted.


    However, even after that, Isolda kept demeaning the man named Bahamut in her heart.


    She thought that her defeat was due to just an unfortunate surprise attack. If she had been a bit more vignt, there was no way that hed be able to defeat her.


    Isolda, who was imprisoned, satisfied herself like that and never acknowledged Bahamut.


    Even if that wasnt true, she couldnt help but think so.


    Otherwise, she wouldnt be able to maintain her sanity in the clutches of the man who regrly vited and trampled on her pride.


    Otherwise she wouldnt be able to maintain the will to seek a chance to escape while burning with revenge against this man.


    But as she watched the woman that was her idol, bow down to him in front of her eyes, the reality she had been ignoring until now and the resulting fear began to surge forth like a wave.


    <em>A monster a monster this man is a monster.</em>


    While recognizing the fact that the existence that she had initially regarded as a pitiful dog was actually a wolf no a dragon that was coiling up and preparing to devour her, Isolda was gripped by an inescapable despair.


    And


    Hah hahahaha ahahahaha!


    The next moment, Isolda began tough in utter despair.


    With this she had no choice but to fully admit that it was all over.


    The hope for aeback was nothing more than a fleeting dream, and her chance at atonement was now gone.


    Her future was now in that cramped prison cell.


    All she could do was live as this mans ything, for the rest of her life.


    That was all.


    When Isolda was wallowing in despair with her head down, she heard him say,


    Now then since the guests weve been waiting for have arrived, shall we start the banquet?<hr>
