PRINCESS SOPHIA
New round

"Dad, can I learn archery?" Sophia asked with excitement.

King Erick thought for a moment." I'll let you study like that when you grow up, now I want you to focus on academics!"

Sophia puffed her cheeks." But my father..."

Before her sentence finished the door opened, Lady Evelyn walked in with a faint smile. He bowed respectfully for a moment."I'm sorry to bother Your Majesty, but there's some business I need to talk to you about.." Politely said.

"Come, my dear!" By the King's word, he seemed very pleased with Evelyn's arrival.

Lady Evelyn glanced at Sophia she stroked her hair gently then said."Princess Sophia If you don't mind, can you go for a minute?"

Sophia felt her heart was squeezed but she had no choice but to agree." Of course, I'll leave you both."

Sophia stood up and left the room with sad steps. He feels separated from his father and increasingly isolated by Lady Evelyn.

Actually after the wedding Sophia felt trapped in difficult circumstances. Every day, he had to interact with Lady Evelyn who was cold and evil. The woman deliberately makes Sophia feel disrespected and ignored, while in front of her father, Lady Evelyn plays a caring and loving mother. Lady Evelyn, who previously seemed kind and warm, began to show her true attitude after this marriage.

This is not the first time, Lady Evelyn separated herself from the King, making distance, controlling the time and interaction of Sophia with King Erick, even she just spoke again with her father earlier. As this girl was about to complain, the woman was always present, and seeing her father love her so much made Sophia even more afraid.

In Sophia's room sitting in front of the mirror contemplating, accompanied by Lady Marie who was none other than her servant and also who had nurtured her from the baby, she was like a real mother for Sophia, she was, Lady Marie also told of Queen Alice, Sophia's kind and wise mother.

Lady Marie knew the anxiety that existed in Sophia, this little girl had to face things like this at an early age. She lovingly brushed Sophia's hair.

"Daughter, true power comes from within you. Don't let Lady Evelyn's bad words break your heart" whispered Lady Marie gently as she tidied Sophia's strands of hair."You have to grow up to be a strong woman in order to take your mother's place."

Sophia smiled faintly, reflecting her blend of strength and vulnerability. Lady Marie keeps tidying up each strand of hair, like straightening them one by one in a challenging journey of life.

Meanwhile, outside the window, the twilight light embraced the palace with an almost bewitching beauty.

"Lady Marie, if the King has any more children, will I lose my right as heir to the throne?" Sophia asked worriedly.

Lady Marie placed her warm hand on Sophia's shoulder, to create a sense of security, she looked at the girl gently.

"Daughter Sophia, our destiny cannot always be controlled. However, your courage and wisdom are an inextinguishable light. I will always help you to earn your rights." He said firmly.

Sophia looked into Lady Marie's eyes, looking for calmness in her words, she still continued to feel the shock in her heart.

"What if everything changes Lady Marie? What if I lose everything?" His issue.

Lady Marie smiled, trying to give the girl confidence."That princess will not happen!"

Lady Marie felt a sense of anxiety enveloping Sophia. Wordlessly, he hugged the young girl warmly, providing warmth in a series of alienations that began to slip.

"Mr Princess" whispered Lady Marie softly, "While the world around you is changing, remember that I will always be by your side." Further.

Sophia permeated Lady Marie's embrace, feeling tenderness and calm amidst the turmoil of her emotions. However, in the depths of his heart, he is well aware that the attention of his father, King Erick, is increasingly displaced by the flow of time.

...----------------...

"Your Majesty, I will give you offspring as well as for this kingdom."

The king was continuously spoiled by Evelyn, not spared the slightest attention he gave every day, starting from the needs of the bed and also the stomach, Evelyn really had mastered the king.

"Darling, you always know how to make my day feel good. Thank you your presence means so much to me." The king said sincerely,

Lady Eveline smiled happily at the King's satisfied reaction."I'm just trying to give my best to you Your Majesty."

"I just really appreciate you."Her reply gently blushed in embarrassment.

Two months passed with a mysterious silence within the magnificent palace walls, Lady Evelyn went to the King's room with a smile that she was hard to hide.

King Erick, who was recording the royal report on his desk, turned his head in astonishment. "Darling what's wrong? You look so happy."

Gently, Lady Evelyn told him, "Your Majesty, I bring news that will bring happiness to this kingdom" he said excitedly.

King Erick stopped the pen in his hand, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"My love, say," she asked.

"I'm pregnant, King Erick. We will be endowed with the presence of an heir."

King Erick's once serious face was instantly changed by a happy smile as if all the burdens and troubles weighing on the kingdom were instantly gone, replaced by peerless happiness. He immediately hugged the wife who was now pregnant with her baby.

It didn't take long, the news of Lady Evelyn's pregnancy spread like wildfire. Gossip and whispers down the halls of the palace and extend to the furthest villages.

"You've heard the news, haven't you?"Ask one of the servants.

His friend nodded."Yes, Lady Evelyn is pregnant." But he thought for a moment."But what about Princess Sophia? Will he have the same role?"

"Of course, the princess is the first child, she will inherit Fullmoon." Answer the waiter confidently.

Excitement and uncertainty mixed in each conversation, creating a wave of conversation that swept through the kingdom. All eyes are on a future filled with new questions and hopes.

Of course this girl heard the news about Lady Evelyn.In her private room, Sophia heard a rumor that brought the new news. News of Lady Evelyn's pregnancy penetrated the walls of the room, creating a dark and tense atmosphere.

Sophia sat on the chair, looking out the window with a mixed expression. A shadow of uncertainty engulfed Sophia, creating a space in her heart that needed answers. In the silence of her room, the young girl realizes that the entire dynamics of the palace have shifted, and her future is now a growing question mark.

Does Dad still love me? Ask in the heart.
