1 Tristan returns home after his many years away, bearing gifts for his family. What does he bring from Crete for Isabelle II?
Answer: a ring

The ring, however, is too small for Isabelle II's finger. She believed it was because Tristan still thought of her as a little girl, though she is now 20-years-old. Though Alfred tried to have her sent away to a boarding school for a proper education, Isabelle flatly refused to leave the ranch, presumably waiting for Tristan to return.
