They carefully began to integrate into this world.
Farmers, knights, village girls, nobles, doctors, slaves... their identities are all different, but the only thing they have in common is their attempt to integrate into this world.
The competition... seems to be only now truly beginning.
Meanwhile, in the very heart of the Star Chaser Land, in the city with its castle...
"Miss Sophie! Don't forget the time!"
"The King and Queen will be looking forward to your presence!"
"Sophie...don't push me, don't push me! I can walk by myself!"
After seeing off the third wave of maids who came to persuade him, Anthony, dressed in silver knight armor, closed the door to his guest room with a stern face.
He stood silently in front of the door for a while, then faced the door and asked:
"So, what's going on?"
The woman behind him did not answer.
Turning back, Anthony's expression was grim as he stared at Sophie, who was sitting by the window, and asked:
"Sophie, answer me, why can't I feel my power right now?"
His right hand rested on the hilt of the sword at his waist, as if only this action could provide him with some sense of security.
Turning her gaze away from the window, Sophie turned to her fiancé and said as if he were a fool:
"How would I know? I never experienced that kind of power from the beginning."
I am not an awakened one.
After saying that, she turned her head away with disdain and continued to observe the sun in the sky.
Anthony: "…………"
Yes, that's true.
But that's not right!
Shaking his head, Anthony almost fell into a ditch because of his fiancée, and said:
"I'm not asking how you feel, I'm asking what happened here?"
Give me an explanation!
He asked for an answer, and Sophie answered.
"I have no idea."
With a stiff expression, Anthony didn't know how to describe his current feelings.
"……you do not know?"
You are the legitimate daughter of the Jasmine family, the most likely candidate to become the next head of the family, didn't you know that?
If you don't know, then who could?
"Believe it or not, I really don't know."
Turning back, Sophie looked calmly at Anthony and said indifferently:
"You think my grandfather and his family had some plans, right?"
"I can tell you that, you don't even need to think about it, it's definitely there."
Before Anthony could speak, Sophie cut him off, continuing:
“But… I know nothing about my grandfather’s plans and arrangements, and I don’t want to know.”
“I am Jia Silin, not Yin Lai.”
Anthony fell silent, about to turn and leave in anger, but then Sophie said again:
"I'm not saying you don't have the right to ask these questions, I'm saying... I don't have the right to ask them."
Anthony: ?
Sophie's expression showed no sadness or distress; she simply stated a fact calmly.
“The Jia Silin family is not as free as the Yin family, where they can do some unconventional things without being disciplined.”
“In the Jasmine family, there is only one patriarch's voice, and no other voices are allowed to exist. There is no need for questioning or admonishment.”
Anthony's eyes widened slightly; he never expected his childhood sweetheart, whom he thought he knew so well, to show such an unfamiliar expression.
Sophie looked at Anthony calmly, her eyes showing no tremor:
"We are a large ship that only obeys the captain's orders. Even if there is an iceberg in front of us, we will crash into it as long as the captain gives the order."
"This is Jasmine."
Although she was just an ordinary person, Anthony felt immense pressure from Sophie at that moment.
He wanted to escape, but after a moment of silence, Anthony pursed his lips and asked:
"Aren't you afraid of problems? Aren't you really afraid of the ship sinking?"
A family that only obeys the orders of a dictator, are they really not worried?
With a smirk, Sophie seemed to be mocking him for asking such a stupid question, or perhaps she was mocking herself.
She said:
"Fortunately, our captain's intuition has always been good."
“Every single one.”
winter!
winter!
winter!
The sound of a clock striking the hour came from outside the window, echoing in the silent room where the two people were staring at each other.
Unable to endure the awkward atmosphere any longer, Anthony took the initiative to ask:
"...Are you going to that ball?"
Without answering, Sophie finally regained her usual composure and asked in return:
"You don't want me to go?"
Creak.
The hilt of the sword creaked under his grip, and Anthony's eyes sharpened.
"Jaslin!"
It's one thing if people can't see it normally, but now that I'm right in front of you, are you still going to do this?
hehe.
With a light chuckle, Sophie said with a smile:
"Since you don't want to, I won't go."
"I'm not a woman who's so desperate she'd sleep with any man she's never even met. What's wrong with being a king? Is he that noble?"
Anthony's cheeks twitched, and he tried to speak several times but couldn't.
I just wanted to ask you if you were flirting with other men in front of me... Who the hell said you were going to sleep with the king!
Your thinking is way ahead of its time.
I have to seduce them first before I can succeed, why did you skip to the last step?
"you……"
With a light laugh, Sophie looked away and said casually:
"It's your business if you get excited when you hear the title of Queen, but I won't."
I don't!
He wanted to give such a firm answer, but Antony still shamefully fantasized about what the queen he had never met looked like.
