Saintess vs Duchess

After I finished my talk with Sabrina, I made my way back to the dining hall, where I saw Isabella talking with one of her new admirers.

Isabella: "...This is hardly the place for such talks. If your father insists on it, he can send an envoy to my estate and we can arrange a meeting at a later date."

Student: "C'mon, Isa, you need to at least-"

Isabella: "I need to?"

Student: "N-no... I didn't mean to say..."

Isabella: "Clearly. However, I meant what I said and my position will not change, no matter how much you embarrass yourself. Now would you please leave? I have more urgent business to attend to."

Isabella's words and the way she looked at the people coming at her became incredibly harsh.

Before, I wouldn't be surprised if she went along with this boy just to have someone to talk to while hoping to build a friendship, even if she understood his underlying intentions.

But now... She's not giving anyone any chances.
