Who is Isolda again??? I'm too lazy to reread
She had asked something like who was a girl that was around their house when they were younger, that she had befriended. They didn't want to admit that their mother had made Roxant dress like a girl for some reason, so they told her it was their cousin Isolda. So she thinks she was close friend (first crush) on their cousin but it's really Roxant
I think, though she absolutely loved her boys, the mom always wished she’d had a daughter, too, that she could dress up in pretty clothes. Roxant, may not have liked it, but he loved his mother so much and saw how happy it made her, so he went with the flow And it wasn’t any kind of sick psychological thing. The whole family knew it was in good fun.
Hehe
