Chapter 655: The Elegance of a Princess

Unaware that her life was now being targeted, Sophie took a deep breath after Jiang An introduced her, then walked out with a perfect smile.
It had been a long time since she faced the media, but the etiquette of attending official functions since she was young had been engraved into her bones. Raising her hand and smiling was the most suitable position to make herself look elegant and calm on camera.
The media focused all their cameras on Sophie, and the sound of shutter shutters filled the air. Even Jiang An, who was used to the entertainment industry, was a little surprised.
She stood at the side and turned to Jiang Zhen beside her. “Brother Jiang Zhen, what’s going on?”
“Sophie is a princess. Not only are there entertainment reporters paying attention, but there are also reporters from local and national television stations. Not to mention the reporters from other countries in China. This is the effect,” Jiang Zhen said.
Jiang An sighed with emotion. “It’s really not easy. I thought that reporters in the entertainment industry were already very scary. I didn’t expect Sophie to face something even scarier than this. No wonder she stopped attending official meetings.”
“These are all small scenes. I heard that as long as the royal family goes out in Country F, all the reporters will rush over. There was once a member of the royal family who got frightened when attending official business for the first time, so the members of the royal family have to learn how to face the camera since they were young,” Jiang Zhen explained.
Sophie had obviously taken this kind of class before. Not only was she not frightened, but she even had the energy to greet the cameras in all directions with a gentle and amiable smile.
Seeing that the photos were almost done, Jiang An quickly picked up the microphone and said, “Dear media friends, please take a seat. Princess Sophie is about to make a speech about this charity event.”
The media knew very well that they had to follow the procedure and quickly returned to their seats, but the recording continued.
Sophie took the microphone and said, “Good morning, everyone. I’m Sophie from Country F. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”
This sentence shortened the distance between them. Sophie did not call herself a princess. She only said that she was from Country F.
This kind of way of speaking made everyone feel close, and they all smiled.
Sophie had been organizing this charity event. It was to set up a fund to help children in the mountains go to school.
Sophie even brought people to the mountains to investigate and found that most of the reason the locals did not let their children go to school was because they did not have money. Parents hoped that their children would not repeat the lives of the previous generation and could live in better places.
However, their families could not afford their children’s studies at all. They could only drop out of school helplessly.
All Sophie had to do was help them, provide a platform for the children to go to school so they had a chance to get out of the deep mountains.
A reporter asked, “Princess Sophie, as far as I know, compulsory education in our country is free. How much help do we need to keep them in school?”
Sophie replied, “Compulsory education is indeed free, but for people living in the mountains, buying books and eating lunch require money, not to mention that the children have to walk dozens of miles to get to school. These are obstacles that can’t be overcome easily. Our foundation wants to solve these problems so that the children can go to school in peace.”
“Then which country does the foundation belong to?” The reporter continued to ask.
The foundation was established to help children in China, but Sophie’s nationality was Country F, which was very subtle.
Jiang An stood up and said, “The foundation is registered with the Chinese government, so it naturally belongs to China. Princess Sophie saw the difficulties of the children in the mountains, so she wanted to establish this foundation. When I heard her idea, I decided to work with her.”
The reporters did not pursue the matter further after getting the answer, but a small number of international reporters thought to themselves. Sophie had come to organize this foundation, but in the end, it belonged to China. Even today’s press conference was organized by the Jiang family. Did this mean something?
The international situation was ever-changing, and the keenness of these reporters was key to keeping up with first-hand news. They had a feeling that something must have happened, or else why would Sophie suddenly appear in front of the public?
Previously, Princess Sophie had publicly given up on the royal allowance and then disappeared in front of the public. This was no different from giving up her status as a member of the royal family, but her position in the royal family was preserved.
It had been peaceful for so many years. There must be a reason for her to appear now..
