Do you have a lover?
Shirin's words were quickly translated into Sophie's mind:
Are you single now?
"If you're not single, would you be willing to become single?"
"Would you be willing to find someone else after you transform?"
What do you think of me?
"How about you consider me?"
Sophie: !!!
Sophie is panicking!
Panic!
Sophie shouldn't overthink things; the current situation simply makes it impossible for her not to.
Being on good terms with the Silver Council is a minor matter, so what is the real big deal?
Now, are you going to extend an invitation to me?
Besides, that guard's gaze was way too serious and focused...
Could you please calm her down before asking me?
"Uh, I..."
Suddenly, Sophie felt a chill on her left earring, a wave of coldness washing over her and quickly calming her down.
"...Ahem, sorry."
Having regained her former composure and elegance, Sophie showed no trace of panic and bowed slightly apologetically to Shirin.
"I was a little shy just now, and I lost my composure in front of you."
With a gentle smile, Sophie displayed the elegant demeanor befitting a noblewoman.
"Regarding your question about lovers, I don't have one at the moment..."
Sophie paused here, a look of reminiscence in her eyes, before slowly continuing:
“But I have a fiancé, and we got engaged when we were very young.”
In that case, you should back down, right?
After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Sophie decided that she no longer needed to sell her beauty.
The opponent is a legend; it's easy for them to overplay their hand and end up getting burned.
Besides, Sophie has already achieved her goal, so there is no need for her to sacrifice anything more for the parliament.
It's meaningless to make such a sacrifice if it's not for the family.
But after she finished speaking, she realized that something was off about the legend.
Not disappointment and regret, but...excitement?
excited! ?
With a somewhat strange expression, Shirin blinked and asked again:
"Oh! So how's your relationship?"
Raising an eyebrow, Sophie was still unsure what the other person meant, so she could only continue:
"Ahem, our...our engagement was arranged by our families, but we grew up together and have a pretty good relationship."
With a gentle smile, Sophie's face revealed a faint, pleasant expression.
She truly resembled a young girl longing for her beloved fiancé.
However, this is actually acting.
To be honest, Sophie's relationship with her fiancé wasn't very good.
The two were only superficially close; they didn't care about each other much, each doing their own thing outside the home and not interfering with each other's lives.
But this does not affect their engagement.
They will definitely get married.
There's no doubt about that; there won't be any melodramatic plot twists like running away from the wedding.
It wasn't because I liked the other person, nor because I couldn't find anyone to share my life with.
Rather, it was for the sake of family alliances that they chose not to shirk their responsibilities.
If you enjoy the benefits brought by your family, you must also make sacrifices for it.
This is the ancestral precept of the Jaslin family, and also a principle upheld by almost all families that call themselves "aristocratic".
Sophie understood that this marriage was a way for her to realize her value.
She didn't object to it; in fact, she thought it was quite normal.
Having spent so long in aristocratic circles, she had long since given up hope for love.
Love may exist elsewhere, but among the nobility, it is extremely precious.
She dared not hope for it.
Instead of dreaming about love, it's more realistic to find a husband who is easy to control and won't interfere.
That way, I can have fun too.
Sophie felt that the person she was implying had made their point so clear that she didn't think the other party would have any further questions.
Sure enough, the gentle legend turned his head, exchanged a glance with the guard, nodded, and then turned back with satisfaction, saying:
"Oh, I see... That's great!"
Well?
"Th-thank you?"
The conversation seems normal, but why does the person involved always feel something is off?
Sophie understood the deeper meaning in the other person's words—a faint excitement after a sigh of relief.
Why get excited?
Why are you getting excited after hearing I have a fiancé?!
This is a bit perverted...
Sophie doesn't know how many times her expression has been stiff today; she feels like her expressions don't even resemble her own anymore.
Bincheng is far too dangerous!
Not only does a seemingly ordinary operator harbor some kind of secret, but even the most upright legends are not quite normal.
While Sophie was caught in a dilemma, unsure of how to escape, Jiang Wan and Xilin were having a heated discussion.
Shirin: "Did he like this type before?"
This is a noblewoman who is engaged?
Jiang Wan: "I don't know, but based on my previous understanding of him, it shouldn't be."
Ning Feng is somewhat of a perfectionist.
Shirin hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat uncertainly:
"But it seems like men really like this kind of thing? I... I have a friend who read about it in a book, and I heard it's immoral or something?"
A beautiful young girl is not enough to win their hearts.
But if the girl is a young widow whose husband died on their wedding day, they become very excited.
