Chapter 712: Meeting

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Annie did not believe that her daughter would really deal with her. After all, she was the one who had given birth to Sophie after ten months of pregnancy. They were connected by blood.

The best course of action was to concentrate the firepower on Henry and John, then go to Sophie herself and beg her, as her mother, to let her go.

Sophie’s heart would soften, and she would definitely agree. When the time came, she would just push all the blame onto them.

Annie knew that now was not the time to fight for the throne. Staying alive was the most important thing.

She should not confront Sophie now. She planned to charm her with her mother’s affection, and wait until she was back in the royal family to make plans. There was always a way to take the throne.

Sophie didn’t know that Annie had such a fantasy. After the doctor confirmed that he only needed to recuperate, she took Gao Tian back to the palace, where security was the tightest.

Gao Jing waited for a long time. He finally saw his parents. The family was happy to be reunited.

After ensuring the safety of her family, Sophie began to deal with the affairs of the kingdom. As a country with real power in the royal family, the queen had a lot of things to deal with.

Sophie’s ease with these things impressed many officials. They had thought that she was just a princess who had taken advantage of the chaos to become a queen. They did not expect her to be so capable.

The officials also felt that Sophie was very suitable to be the queen. With her around, there would be peace in Country F for many years.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Sophie continued to preside over the old king’s funeral. She could not delay the coronation ceremony, or else those people would definitely cause trouble.

Because Gao Tian still had to recuperate, Sophie had to do everything herself.

In the eyes of the public, Sophie’s actions meant that she was a very tenacious person who would not bow down because something bad had happened.

Sophie had gained popularity among the people, who felt that she was indeed of the old king’s blood.

In the grand funeral, the old king finally finished his life. He no longer had to lie in the cold mortuary.

Sophie presented her grandfather with flowers and said, “Grandfather, I don’t know what you think of me as a queen, but I swear to you here that I will use everything you taught me to serve this kingdom.”

When the crown prince heard her say this, he sighed and said, “Father’s children are all useless. I’m just not that much of a bastard. You must be the perfect heir in Father’s heart.”

Sophie didn’t say anything about this. After all, her grandfather was in a long slumber, and no one knew what he would say.

After the funeral, preparations for the coronation ceremony had to begin. Due to the previous incident, the Marshal felt that he had neglected his duty. This time, he personally handled the security of the coronation ceremony. He directly transferred people from the army to ensure that there was no danger.

The people were also looking forward to the coronation ceremony. After all, they might never witness such a grand scene in their lives again. They could be considered to have witnessed history.

Sophie had wanted to keep things simple and save money for the good of the people.

But Jiang An shook his head. “You can not hold the celebration and ball afterwards to reduce the royal expenses, but you can’t save on the coronation ceremony.”

“But this ceremony is too extravagant. Every segment is made of money. It’s so extravagant that it disgusts me,” Sophie said in disgust.

Jiang An advised her, “You’ve just become a queen. It’s not a good thing to be too radical. Even if you don’t like these things, you can’t show it now. That will push everyone to your opposite side. You have to rope in some people and isolate some. Naturally, they will have internal strife. You don’t have to do it yourself.”

Sophie was excited. “An’an, you’re a genius. You should be the queen.”

Jiang An smiled and said, “This is all knowledge from books. Look at history and you’ll realize that the strategies of monarchs are similar.”

Since Jiang An had said so, Sophie did not make any changes to the coronation ceremony. The nobles watching the palace heaved a sigh of relief. As long as the queen did not touch the coronation ceremony, she would definitely not touch them.

However, just before the coronation ceremony, Sophie received a note with an address to meet her. It was signed by her mother, Annie.

To be able to make this note appear on the table in the palace, it was obvious that Annie had her own methods.

Sophie showed the note to Jiang An and mocked, “Does she think I won’t lay a hand on her and want to talk as mother and daughter?”

“Only you know what she’s thinking. Are you going to see her?” Jiang An asked.

Sophie nodded. “Of course. I’m going to make sure she never escapes.”
