Seeing that there were two more people at the door, Huo Yichen greeted and introduced himself.
When he came out, Sofia looked over, intentionally or otherwise.
Whether it was Murong Qiao, who was already paying attention, or Elvi, who had been paying attention to her daughter, they all saw this reaction.
âDo you want to go somewhere to play today?â Sophia took the initiative to ask. âIf not, I can recommend it to you.â
âNo need. Weâve already thought of where to go,â Huo Yichen replied.
After knowing what Sofia was thinking about him, Huo Yichen treated her like a stranger and didnât want to have anything to do with this spoiled princess. Moreover, he was indeed prepared to bring Murong Qiao out to play according to the recommendations in the guide today. However, Sophiaâs arrangements and invitation had really disrupted their plans.
But Sofia was not discouraged. âActually, I donât leave the palace very often I wonder if you mind adding me?â
Iâve been m poor health since I was young. I always stay in the palaceâ¦â Celestia, who had been standing at the side without saying anything for a long time, lowered her head and remained silent at Sophiaâs words, which had never changed since she was young and were still effective.
This time, Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen didnât have to refuse. Instead, Queen Elvi took the initiative to speak.
âSophia, I remember that you still have a class in the afternoon. The teacher must have arrived at this time.â
Elvi put her arm around her daughterâs shoulder and chuckled at Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen. âWeâll leave first.â
She interrupted Sofia and left with her daughter.
After walking for a distance, Elvi brought Sofia to an empty room and walked in. After getting someone to close the door and leave, she looked at her daughter Sofia very solemnly.
âItâs just the two of us now, Sofia.â Elvi looked at her favorite little daughter. âI have a question. Answer me honestly.â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Sofia pursed her lips, a bad feeling rising in her heart.
âDo you like Huo Yichen?â Elvi looked at her.
As a woman, Elvi definitely had more emotional experience than her daughter. Therefore, she could see the thoughts of those little girls clearly.
If it was anyone else, Sofia was confident that she could completely deceive them.
But now, Elvi, who knew her the best, was standing here, staring at her. Sofia couldnât open her mouth to make up anything.
In any case, if she lied, it would be seen through.
Seeing her daughter avoid her gaze and not look straight at her, Elvi was silent for a long time before sighing.
Sometimes, she already knew the answer without saying it.
âBut theyâre engaged. Sofia, thatâs not right.â
As soon as Elvi spoke, she said something that Sofia didnât want to hear.
Sofia turned her head away and expressed her resistance with her body movements, but her feelings for Huo Yichen remained unchanged. Elvi naturally knew her daughterâs personality, so she emphasized, âSophia!â âYesâ¦â Sofia replied reluctantly.
She always hated her motherâs suddenly serious tone when she talked about serious matters. That meant that she had done something wrong.
âItâs fine if you like the nobles or the Young Masters of any family.â Elvi said earnestly, âBut theyâre already engaged. Theyâre going to be married.â âI donât want you to interfere in other peopleâs relationships, Sofia.â She said it very clearly, but she knew very well that these words wouldnât easily persuade her daughter.
However, Elvi still paid attention to her daughterâs values.
However, Sophia said indignantly, âBut arenât they not married yet?â
âSophiaâ¦â Elvi sighed.
Previously, when she saw Sofiaâs attitude, she had a bad feeling. Now that she heard Sofia say this, she was even more worried.
She didnât want her daughter to be a third party.
The room fell silent.
Elvi looked at Sofia carefully. More than once, regret appeared in her heart. Then, she blamed herself for spoiling Sofia too much. Was this the result?
However, every time they thought about Sofiaâs health, everyoneâs hearts softened and they indulged her.
âAlright.â In the end, it was Sofia who took the initiative to break the silence.
She took the initiative to give in and squatted beside Elviâs leg again, looking up at her. âI just⦠like him too much, Mom.â
âFrom the first time I saw him.â Sofia lowered her eyes. âIâve been thinking about him for the past few days. Mom, didnât you fall in love with Father at first sight too?â
âThatâs different, Sofia.â Elvi didnât fall into her daughterâs trap.
If it were anyone else, they might have been tricked by Sofia, but not Elvi.
She said, âItâs not a good thing to destroy other peopleâs relationships in the first place. Even if Iâm your mother and support you in pursuing your love, you canât do it in this way.â
âAs the people who helped you, Iâll get someone to take good care of them during their time in Country X.â
Elvi continued, âAs for you⦠think about it carefully.â
With that, Elvi stood up and left the room, indicating that she didnât want Sofia to interact with Huo Yichen again.
Celestia was standing outside the door. When she saw Queen Elvi come out she went up to her.
âKeep an eye on Sofia these few days and let her stay well by herself.â Elvi made up her mind.
She knew very well that it was not the two guestsâ fault that Sofia liked Huo Yichen. At the same time, she wanted to control Sofiaâs personality.
ââ¦Yes,â Celestia agreed.
With that, Elvi left. Celestia stayed at the door. Before long, she saw Sofia, who had an extremely ugly expression, open the door.
âPrincess Sofia,â Celestia called out respectfully.
Sofia looked at her and stared for a long time before saying, âMom asked you to follow me?â
ââ¦Yes.â
It seemed like she wouldnât have the chance to interact with Huo Yichen today. Sofia lowered her eyes and suppressed the unwillingness in her heart, but she didnât make a fuss.
On the other hand, as Sofiaâs sister, when Mira found out that Elvi had asked Sofia to stay, she heaved a sigh of relief but couldnât help but be a little worried.
Hence, Mira made time to look for Sofia, also worried about her health.
When she went, she saw Sofia swinging alone in the small garden behind the palace. Her head was lowered, and she didnât look very happy. She looked very disappointed.
Mira couldnât bear it and walked over. ââ¦Sofia.â
âYouâre here, Big Sister.â Sofia didnât look up.
Her voice was low and a little nasal. She sounded like she had just cried.
When it landed in the ears of Mira, who was already worried about Sofia, it made her feel even worse.
âDonât think too much about it, Sofiaâ¦â Mira took a few steps closer to Sofia.
Mother only chose to do this for your own good.â
Mira subconsciously thought that Sofiaâs sadness was a âphaseâ, so she couldnât help but comfort her.
From the beginning to the end, Sofia lowered her head and didnât speak, as if she was immersed in her own emotions.
Mira sat at the side and said something from time to time, thinking that she could enlighten her Little Sister. However, after talking for a long time, she couldnât help but feel a little disappointed with her Little Sister..
