Isa sat on the edge of the bed, rubbing her temples with a headache.
I still haven't recovered from last night's hangover.
Her memory was hazy; she only vaguely remembered drinking with Leah, and then...
I've forgotten all of that.
Isabella's expression changed. Could it be that she did something inappropriate at the party?
The reason she got drunk was probably because she saw Lulu next to Linda.
This left Isha, who had strong moral principles and couldn't accept the chaotic situation involving so many people, feeling somewhat disheartened.
They lost before they even started!
Isa sighed softly, holding a cup of hot water as she sat at the table, lost in thought. She reflected on her life—born into an ordinary, well-off family, her parents were ordinary adventurers; she had an ordinary upbringing, ordinary excellence, decent in every aspect, but not reaching the pinnacle in anything. Similarly, she hadn't had an ordinary boyfriend or a true sworn brother.
As a 25-year-old, level 28 swordswoman, Isa is considered an older youth among adventurers.
Seeing her teammates all in pairs, inseparable, going to hotels to play during holidays... Isha didn't say it, but she was a little envious.
No matter how good the relationship between teammates is, it is still far inferior to a vow to whom one can entrust one's life.
Isa just wanted to find an ordinary, outstanding man.
But after looking around, I found that everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses!
Even her excellent qualities were not appreciated by Isa.
Especially now that the Ice Flower has reached level 13, breaking through one more level will make it a Steel-level adventure team.
Under these circumstances, it's inevitable that Isha's horizons will be broadened once again.
Fortunately, there was one person who always made her very happy.
She extended an invitation immediately when that person left the team.
However, at that time, someone's level was zero, which made her uncertain about his future.
For practical reasons, Isa did not rush to make a decision.
From that day until now, it has only been less than two months.
Two months later, when Isa came to her senses, she discovered that the other person was about to reach the same level of the strategy as her.
Now, it's not a question of whether that person can catch her eye, but the other way around!
Even so, Isa was quite confident.
She wasn't top-notch in any aspect, but she didn't have any obvious flaws either.
Isa is preparing to make her intentions clear at the Phoenix Flower's advancement party.
But unexpectedly...
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Linda holding the hand of a werewolf girl tightly.
Isa was like a deflated balloon, instantly losing all her strength.
Besides the werewolf girl, Linda was also surrounded by Kaphni, Monica, Eiko, and Lia...
Each one of them is a beautiful girl with her own unique charm, whose appearance is in no way inferior to hers.
Isa was scared.
She simply didn't have the courage to join this chaotic battle.
Most importantly, her involvement makes her a third party, interfering in the relationship between Linda and Lulu.
In layman's terms, it means 'mistress'!
Isa's upright values made her unable to tolerate the existence of such despicable people as "mistresses," and even more so, she could not stand the thought of someone destroying other people's relationships.
Therefore, the drunkenness at the party was a farewell to Isa's teenage romance, which had ended before it even began.
She needs to forget about the Phoenix Flower Adventure Team and avoid contact with Linda.
However, when I woke up...
Isa felt a tightness in her chest, and she couldn't help but think of Linda and Lulu holding hands, and then all sorts of extreme scenes.
On one hand, there was the resentment welling up inside her; on the other, there was the rational self-admonition telling her that staying away from Linda was the right thing to do. Going closer would only be like a moth drawn to a flame, causing her unnecessary suffering.
She, Isa, the highly regarded captain of the Ice Flower Adventure Team, must never 'knowingly become the third party'.
"From today onwards, forget about Linda and focus on climbing the World Tree."
Isa clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and muttered to herself in front of the mirror.
Knock knock.
A knock came at the door.
"Fanice? I told you, I'm in a bad mood. Don't bother me today," Isa replied dejectedly, rubbing her slightly moist eyes.
"Um, Isa...? What's wrong? Fanice asked me to come up and see."
But what came from outside the door was a gentle male voice.
Isabella's eyelids twitched, and she jumped up.
What happened?
Linda came to Binghua's villa?!
Why did Fanice let him come up? Shouldn't she have waited for him in the reception room?
Isa glanced at herself in the mirror in a panic: her silver hair was a bit frizzy, her face looked tired, her makeup from yesterday was ruined, and the buttons on her pajamas were fastened incorrectly—the third button was in the hole for the second...
She sniffed herself, her face paling even more, and she smelled of alcohol. She'd slept straight through since coming home last night and hadn't showered at all!
Outside, you could hear Fanis whispering, "Linda, hurry up and go in. Isa has been awake for a while, she's pretending not to hear. If it were anyone else, we wouldn't let them into the captain's bedroom, you know? They might get some perks."
"Isn't that a bit inappropriate?" Linda declined, "If Captain Isa's boyfriend finds out, I'll be in big trouble."
"What are you talking about? How could someone like Isha possibly have a boyfriend? She dreams of having one every day. If you're still looking for someone, Linda, I'll give you Isha, hehehe."
Isa hurriedly washed her face and changed her clothes in the bathroom, her ears perked up, listening to the conversation outside.
When she heard Fanny urging Linda to come in quickly, she was furious and wanted to grab Fanny's ear and spin her around like a windmill!
