Chapter 42 Sophia Asks for Riley

Seeing that Riley ignored her, Sophia stopped looking at him. Hearing Chiye's words, she said "hmm" and walked to Holst.

His Highness called her here for this very matter.

She turned her palm upwards, gathering a ball of green light. Countless tiny light spots with long tails swam in the green light. After a while, they broke through the green light and turned into countless silk threads, flying towards Holst's eyebrows.

"Princess Sofia."

"Please stop."

"Just use a soothing medicine."

Holst, who gradually regained consciousness, immediately rejected Sophia's comfort.

Although he was still in the form of a beast, his mental consciousness had calmed down somewhat, and he could think calmly and speak normally.

This is a good sign, meaning that he will be able to regain his human form soon, without the need for female comfort, and using potions will be enough.

Hearing this.

Chiye raised his eyebrows.

I thought indignantly: This damn snake recovers so quickly!

…

…

The first thing Scarlett did when she returned to her bedroom was to wash her face, hands and shoes.

She hates reptiles, especially snakes.

Snake toys were popular when she was a child, and she was teased by her classmates countless times, which led to her being afraid of snakes now.

In the treatment room, she held her breath and tried to act calm, but Holst's lick completely broke her defenses.

The cool touch was the same as the feeling of the snake that had been thrown into her clothes when she was a child.

She was terrified and didn't want to be in the treatment room or see Holst at all.

It took Scarlett a long time to come back to her senses.

Looking at the ceiling decorated with intricate patterns, my emotions gradually fluctuated.

She came to this world inexplicably, was bound to a system inexplicably, and had eight beastly husbands inexplicably.

After experiencing the Queen's awe-inspiring judgment, the Star Network's public opinion storm, and the escalating bloody battles on the Lost Continent, he has finally found his true self.

This world is completely opposite to hers.

She had lived twenty years in civilized society, following the rules.

Can I survive here?

For the first time, Scarlett thinks about her future.

Unfortunately, no matter what the answer is, she has to live.

Integrate into this world well, and then think about the future.

"Knock knock knock"

There was a knock on the palace door.

Scarlett raised her eyelids and said, "Come in."

It was Lilia, followed by Sophia.

Lilia brought a bowl of peanut milk and said, "Your Highness, I made your favorite peanut milk. You were just frightened, and eating something sweet will make you feel better."

Lilia didn't stay long, she put down the peanut dew and left.

Sophia stepped forward and saluted, "Your Highness."

Meet Sophia.

Scarlett was a little surprised and asked in surprise: "You, aren't you in the treatment room?"

Sophia understood Scarlett's meaning and said gently, "Don't worry, Your Highness. Captain Holst is fine now and is receiving follow-up treatment in the treatment cabin."

Scarlett nodded and asked, "Did he hurt anyone?"

Sophia: "The captain is emotionally stable and has never hurt anyone."

These words opened a crack in Scarlett's tired heart, the sunlight shone in, and the haze quickly dissipated.

I hope no one was hurt.

"but……"

Sophia focused her gaze on Scarlett's wrist, "Your Highness is injured."

Scarlett then discovered that there was a circle of blood on her wrist. She turned up her sleeve and saw several wounds on her arm with the flesh protruding. They must have been caused by the fall to the ground just now.

She waved her hand indifferently and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt."

The pain is over.

Sophia smiled slightly and gently held Scarlett's injured hand. A green light was released from her wrist and wrapped around Scarlett's arm in a circle.

A moment.

The wounds healed visibly, leaving no trace.

Is this the SS-level healing skill?

It’s really amazing!

Scarlett withdrew her hand, looked at Sophia awkwardly, and said sincerely, "Thank you."

Because of the original owner's memory, she subjectively did not like Sophia, and what Sophia said last time gave her a strong sense of discomfort.

As a result, she always kept her distance from Sophia.

But today.

Princess Sofia did her a great favor indeed.

She couldn't remain indifferent, so she smiled and said, "Sophia, thank you. If you hadn't arrived in time, I would have been in danger. And Holst, thank you for saving him."

Sophia also smiled, her calm face only slightly rippled, the smile was not deep, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness."

Scarlett asked, "Sophia, I know you have everything you need, but is there anything you want? I will definitely give it to you as a thank you gift within my ability."

Sophia raised her eyes, a faint smile flickered in her eyes, and her light golden pupils suddenly became bright, "Is anything possible?"

Scarlett promised: "Yes, anything is fine. As long as I have it or can afford it, I will give it to you."

Sophia didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "I want Riley."

Scarlett's smile froze, and she was stunned for two seconds: "Huh?"

Sophia stared at Scarlett's face and repeated what she had just said word by word, calmly and leisurely, "I want Riley."

Perhaps it was because Sophia's eyes were too direct, staring at her straight ahead.

It gave Scarlett the illusion that "she was provoking me again."

She shook her head, blocking out this negative information and confirming Sophia's words, "You want Riley?"

Sophia nodded, her eyes filled with unshakable determination. "Your Highness, Riley and I are childhood sweethearts. We grew up together and have a deep bond. To be frank, if you hadn't shown up, Riley would have become my beastly husband. I know you don't like Riley, so I'm asking you this."

Scarlett pursed her lips.

Well, she really didn't like Riley.

He is too scheming and his methods are too dirty. Keeping such a person around is like a time bomb, and no one knows when it will explode.

She doesn't want to get herself into trouble.

But.

Riley is a person, not an object. His coming or going cannot be decided by just one sentence. His opinion must be respected.

Scarlett thought about it and clearly refused: "Sophia, I can't agree to this request. I really don't like Riley, but I don't have the right to make any decisions for him. If you like him, you can go to him directly and ask for his opinion. If he is willing to be with you, I can help you two."

"But this is definitely not my thank you gift to you. Riley is a person, not an object."

…

…

Riley stood in the corridor outside Scarlett's bedroom.

Above the head is a crystal chandelier with intricate craftsmanship and extreme luxury. Each crystal is carefully polished by hand, and every edge and corner is meticulously designed by a famous artist.

The light spreads on them, the light is soft and bright, and everything around them is made to look as textured as an oil painting.

Riley was bare.

The burgundy hair has a soft sheen.

His handsome face was calm and indifferent.

There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth as always.

Only this time, the smile lurked beneath the warm light, and seemed even more genuine.

He stretched out his hand, rudely pushed open the door of the hall, and walked in.

"Your Highness."

Two updates are here, thank you all for your recommendations.

As always, please continue reading, collecting, and voting.

I wish you all a happy reading, muah~
