Dear Broom Knight.

Chapter 386 Sophia's Suspicion

Rosalind said with a melancholy look on her face: “Why is her luck so good?

No wonder so many outstanding men are willing to fall in love with her."

Jonathan looked up to the sky and down to the ground, not wanting to look at the princess who was being pretentious again.

The greatest luck in his life is that the boss he follows is straightforward enough. Even if he does something immoral, he will be straightforward about it and will not say a few sour words for no reason like this.

At this time, Sophia was too lazy to cooperate with Rosalind.

Naturally, she also understood the reason for what Jonathan had just said.

Then there was no need for her to continue hiding her true nature, nor did she need to coax Rosalind anymore... No man would allow a person who could deceive people to exist in his court.

Of course she knew that as long as Baron Lori trusted the White Dragon King enough, the identity of the Reed family would be exposed.

However, Sebephia doesn't care about the future of an affiliated family at all. They are willing to use the Reed family to observe Lowry's position and personality and temper, so they have to put themselves at the gambling table.

Unfortunately, the bet was lost.

Moreover, the baron obviously had no intention of showing up, nor was he willing to welcome Rosalind's delegation into his territory... The colorful lights shining in the valley and the trees disguised by the aerial roots of the banyan trees that had grown taller than the city walls were proof of this.

Rosalind probably didn't dare to go in.

There is no need to explain much about the position of Valeera in the baron's heart. You can understand it just by looking up.

It’s easy to say that Vargas produces a lot of earth potions in a year, but in reality, it’s… an extremely large number.

The income of King Bailong's private treasury has always been a secret, as for the national treasury, it is a place with a lot of money coming in and out, which cannot be calculated by people who have not handled it. However, the palace treasury has a rough number because of its fixed source.

Not counting the unexpected fluctuations caused by the confiscation of property, the palace treasury's annual income... is not pure profit, but is almost equal to Baron Lori's expenditure.

Princess Rosalind's dowry was only this much money, and a large part of it was just equivalents.

Luxurious jewelry, expensive clothes, various magical objects and other things that cannot be exchanged for gold or resources at the moment are the big ones.

With this money, ordinary nobles like the Reed family who only make a living by running small businesses can live for 30 years without doing anything, even if their family has only a few dozen people and two or three hundred servants.

She didn't feel anything about Rosalind's dowry, but... there was actually someone who had so much money and could spend it on a subordinate who had little talent and was good for nothing except loyalty. Sophia had no idea who this Baron Lowry was.

It's so shocking...Why is it impossible for such a person to be used by her?

Daisy's fawning flattery and meaningless pursuit rang in her ears. Sophia's hand was hidden in the big skirt, with her thumb and index finger together, rubbing nervously... Why couldn't it be hers?
Rosalind gave Sophia a cold sidelong glance from under her long eyelashes.

She was sick of Daisy's compliments, which were so stupid and awkward.

If it was Sophia, she would never let Rosalind's words fall to the ground and splash mud.

But Rosalind also understood that Sophia was willing to stay with her in order to have a good future.

Even if she was held back by the Reed family, Sophia's life would not be too difficult as long as Rosalind was still willing to use her.

It was precisely because she knew this that Rosalind had made full use of Sophia some time ago.

However, those crazy people in Sebefia actually overturned the boat.

Sophia and her Reed family will probably have a hard time in the future... Regardless of whether the Reed family used legitimate means to do business and establish social circles, all those who know the situation will silently assume that they used evil means.

In particular, those who can only deal with them under the table will inevitably push all these things onto the Reed family.

Rosalind really didn't understand what was wrong with the Sebephia family?

Will they be better off if they sacrifice the Reed family?

This ability to make people unconsciously obey their will is also possessed by Cebephia!

I just feel that Sebephia must have been careful to hide her existence, that's why she did something so ruthless.

Hey~
This was the end. Sophia, knowing Rosalind's true attitude towards her, was obviously giving up.

They all grew up in the palace, so of course they understood that things had gotten to the point where even someone of Jonathan's rank knew about it, which meant that basically any noble with a bit of ability knew about it.

That news would surely reach Alex's ears.

No matter how much Rosalind wanted to test Alex's intentions, she could not possibly drop a big bomb like Sofia into the Ice Palace.

She was now very grateful that in order to cover up some things during this period, she had always acted as if she valued Daisy very much, and it was obvious that she was planning to make this silly girl her chief maid.

Otherwise, some things would be very embarrassing. Really... she had clearly not expected this to happen!
What the hell is going on over there in Cebephia?

Or maybe Baron Lowry inside is really worth something that makes them do anything for him.

And Sophia, who failed to attract him out, became the useless chess piece and was directly abandoned?
Rosalind withdrew her gaze. In this case, Sophia really became a waste to her.

However, she knew very well that she could be arrogant, could be greedy for love, and even didn't have to be too cunning, but she must never be too cold-blooded, too ruthless, or too easily abandoned.

Originally, she was the one in a weak position. If she was judged to be of no value to the North and even potentially harmful, then she would be completely finished.

Rosalind knew she had to strike the right balance no matter what.

Just like those cultists who act like they still have some humanity... like Pat, who is still being praised among the lower classes of society.

What a joke... Of all the people who died at her hands, at least half were innocent.

As a result, just because these evil people have a bottom line, they get all the praise?
Rosalind thought it was funny, but that didn't stop her from following suit.

She thought for a moment, then gently instructed Sophia: "Sophia, there are too many things going on during this period, and I can't handle them all at once, so you go and manage my dowry and count it every day.

If you consume too much of anything, especially food or drink, be sure to report it to me in a timely manner.

Whether Qingfeng Valley welcomes me or not, their things are good.

Especially for foods that need to be stored for a long time, be sure to buy more.

When we return to the capital, no one will provide us with food on the way!"

Jonathan took a step back slightly, not wanting to be enveloped by the false aura.

Anyway, no matter what these people planned to do, he had already peeled off Sophia's skin according to the king's order.

Sophia raised her head suddenly and smiled in surprise: "Your Highness!"

Her expression quickly concealed even the slightest reluctance, revealing a natural gratitude: "I will definitely manage Her Royal Highness's finances well!"

Rosalind nodded slightly: This is another way of making the best use of things, right?
How many people, when making financial reports, can lie without any hesitation when facing Sophia, who is good at deceiving people?
With Sophia's cleverness, she can find out all the abnormalities as long as she wants to.

Although... it was different from what I had expected at the beginning, at least I didn't waste so much time on communication.

Daisy looked around in confusion and suddenly asked, "So, Sophia will be riding in the luggage cart from now on?"

Rosalind looked at her angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! Sophia can only sit next to me!"

Sophia suddenly looked straight at Daisy, with a hint of doubt in her heart: Daisy is a girl who is always fooled by half-knowledge, so why does her words always easily evoke the darkness in people's hearts?
Daisy noticed Sophia's look and smiled at her provocatively, her eyes full of sarcasm and complacency.

But Sophia did not ignore her as she did in the past. Instead, she looked at Daisy intently with a thoughtful look.

Daisy, who was frightened by her gaze, bumped into her fiercely.

"Daisy! Stop it!" Rosalind, who had always paid little attention to the fights between them, was shocked. "What are you crazy about?"

"The way she looks at me is so disgusting, it makes me want to dig it out!" Daisy stopped honestly, but she didn't admit it, "Isn't it just that she thinks I've taken her place?
Princess, why not just send her back to the capital? What's the point of having her? She might even plot against me behind my back!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Rosalind said irritably, "Sophia, no, do you really think you can become the head maid so easily?

It’s too rude!”

Then she softened her tone and said, "Daisy, even if Sophia can't go back to the palace with me and can only handle financial issues for me outside, she can only be the chief maid.

Unless you can pass the review of the court etiquette guidance within this period of time.

Even though I have always been favored by my father, there is no room for willfulness in such rules.

If you are not qualified, then it won’t work.

Daisy, do you think you can do this?

Among my personal maids, there are several who have passed the test, but they are not as strong as Sophia!

They won’t be willing to…”

Princess Rosalind did not continue speaking, but Daisy, who had been involved in her plans, suddenly realized one thing: she would never be a real chief maid in her life.

She couldn't possibly go to the Icefield Royal Family to take the etiquette class of the Northern Royal Family, right?
