Guests

After Murong Qiao and Huo Yichen left the palace, Sofia said that she was going to look for her mother and went to the Queen’s residence in the palace.
Mira acutely sensed that her Little Sister didn’t seem to have given up as she had imagined, so she followed worriedly.
It was close to night and time for dinner.
Even though they emphasized royal etiquette, they also gave their children full freedom. Therefore, many princes and princesses already had their own residences and would no longer eat together every day.
Sofia was a special case. She had been brought along since she was young and was not in good health. It was the same even now.
“Sofia, wait for me…” Mira picked up her skirt and chased after her.
m the end, Sofia acted as if she didn’t hear anything and disappeared around the corner of the corridor in the blink of an eye.
Mira frowned as a strange feeling appeared in her heart.
Although she had been taught by her mother since she was young that she had to give in to her Little Sister no matter what, and her Little Sister was not in good health. Sometimes, Mira always felt that Sofia was not as weak as they thought.
This strange feeling lingered in Mira’s heart. Then, she followed her to the dining hall.
When Mira arrived, Sofia had already arrived beside Queen Elvi and was smiling sweetly at King Edward.
“You’re not in good health. Even if something happens, just let the servants convey it. There’s no need to come over like this…”
Queen Elvi was frowning and talking to Sofia. Clearly, she didn’t agree with her daughter coming over in such a hurry.
Sofia’s face was still a little flushed from her run. “I wanted to meet Mom-” She always dragged out her voice and acted coquettishly, then obediently snuggled up to the Queen. Anyone who saw her would think that she was an obedient little princess who was very lovable.
Mira then rushed over and bowed. “I’m sorry to disturb Father and Mother’s meal.”
King Edward was eating a piece of steak with a fork. His movements were elegant and natural. Then, his gaze shifted to the youngest daughter he doted on the most, Sofia, who was sitting beside Queen Elvi.
His usually solemn and stem face couldn’t help but soften when he saw Sofia. “How was your trip today?” King Edward was concerned about his daughter. His daughter was weak, so although Edward didn’t say much on the surface, he was very concerned about her movements and physical safety.
When Sophia heard him say this, she was immediately delighted.
She was still thinking about what to say about Huo Yichen when Edward took the initiative to ask. It couldn’t be better for her.
“Not bad. I went to the shops I liked and encountered many interesting things.” Sofia casually picked something to say, then revealed a hesitant expression.
“But…”
“What?” Edward looked at her.
Sophia followed this line. “But I met someone who snatched my bag today…”
“What?” Elvi exclaimed.
Edward frowned as well and sized up his youngest daughter.
‘Tm fine, Mom.” Sophia comforted the two of them first.
At this moment, Sophia told him about how she had been helped by Huo Yichen and Murong Qiao today.
“The two of them were very enthusiastic and even helped me get my bag back.” At this point, Sofia couldn’t help but recall the scene of Huo Yichen suppressing the thief and bringing the bag back very calmly.
At that time, she had been robbed upstairs. From the moment the thief jumped down to the moment she left the shop, to the moment Huo Yichen caught up to the thief on the other side of the street and snatched her bag back, she could see everything clearly.
Sofia couldn’t help but be distracted for a moment. This reaction happened to fall into the eyes of Queen Elvi beside her, making her ponder.
“It’s good that you’re fine.” Edward relaxed when he heard that there was nothing wrong.
His youngest daughter was good at everything, but she was weak and he couldn’t help but worry.
Elvi was the same. “Let the doctor come over and checkyour body later.”
“Yes,” Sofia agreed.
However, she had yet to express her thoughts. Sofia looked at her father and mother and felt that the atmosphere was not bad, so she spoke.
“Mother, I kind of want to invite them over as guests.” Sofia tugged at Elvi’s hand and wheedled.
Mira, who was sitting at the side, raised her eyebrows and finally felt that something was wrong.
Thinking of how her Little Sister had sworn to her that she would give up, and looking at how she was sitting beside Elvi and acting coquettishly, Mira felt even more disgusted.
“They helped me retrieve my bag. I want to thank them too,” Sofia said.
She said it seriously, but women were always especially meticulous.
A mother knew her daughter best, not to mention that Elvi always took special care of her daughter, Sofia. From Sofia’s words and actions, even her expressions and reactions, Elvi could guess what her daughter was thinking. Seeing that her daughter was suddenly so sensible and still wanted to thank the other party, although there was nothing wrong with etiquette, Elvi still acutely sensed that Sofia seemed to have different intentions.
On the other hand, Edward nodded in agreement with his daughter’s sensibleness.
■■Of course. You can make the decision yourself.” Edward had always approved of his daughter.
However, as the King of a country, he couldn’t carefully sense Sofia’s thoughts most of the time, so he only felt that his youngest daughter was becoming more sensible.
He even added, “Treat the guests well, Sofia. Don’t embarrass our royal family.” With Edward’s permission, Sofia’s eyebrows immediately flew up, and she felt much better.
Elvi weighed this matter in her heart and planned to talk to Sofia after dinner. As a King, Edward was always busy every day, so he occasionally had to leave early after his meals.
Elvi found the opportunity. After Edward left, she turned to look at Sofia.
“Sofia.” She lowered her voice slightly and called her daughter’s name. “Do you really want to invite them over as guests?”
A slightly serious tone was often Elvi’s habit of officially discussing something. Just as Elvi understood her daughter, Sofia understood her mother too.
She put down the fork in her hand and looked up to meet Elvi’s eyes. “Mother, I just want to thank them for their help.
“I like that bag very much.” Sofia smiled.
However, since she was young, Sofia had thousands of bags in her hands. She might not even remember them.
Elvi observed the expression on her daughter’s face. “Sophia, you know what I’m asking about.”
She had a feeling that Sofia was hiding something, but Edward couldn’t sense it.
Mira sat at the side. When she saw this, she was about to open her mouth to explain the real situation to her mother when she saw Sofia turn to look at her with a pleading expression.
Hence, she stopped talking.
Sofia revealed an embarrassed smile and lowered her eyes to speak slowly. ■■It’s just that I’ve been in the palace for too long. Many people are unwilling to play with me…”
“They all said that I’m not in good health and that I’ll pass my illnesses on to them.”
A forlorn look appeared on Sofia’s face. “I just want to make some friends, Mom.”
At the mention of her illness, the seriousness on Elvi’s face immediately couldn’t be maintained..
