Chapter 28

The two searched some more afterwards and ended up surprisingly seeing this sentence in a copy of the King's Code.
''The seal is a patronage item left by the ancestors and must be worn by every generation of kings.''
"[Must be worn at all times], before I thought it was just to show the importance of the seal, now look at this sentence, is there another deep meaning ......" Aaron stroked his chin and pondered.
After contemplating, Aaron took Sophia back to the bedroom, took the wet towel handed by the servant, carefully wiped Sophia's hands and said, "Since they want the seal, there must be a record left behind, I will send someone to check, you are not allowed to take other people's things casually in the future."
The last sentence aggravated the tone, Sophia heard a little want to laugh, hold the laugh seriously nodded: "Do not worry, from now on will not be."
The rebels started to stir up trouble, and the witch clan was also involved in it, and without the people's knowledge, the shadow of war was once again cast over the wolf clan.
Aaron kept all this down, and a week later he received a piece of information about the Wiccans, addressed to a letter K.
It was sent by Karida.
Aaron quickly set everything up, speeding up the infiltration of the Wicca, secretly revealing the movements of the main warring faction to the Peacekeepers, so that the Wicca would fight internally and free up their hands to wage war against the Wolves.
Then he sent people to thoroughly investigate the rebels and uncovered some minor figures hidden in the people, while the thorough investigation of the palace and nobles was delayed.
Aaron knew in his heart that the rebels had already established their roots in the Wolf Clan, so they could not be eliminated by one or two thorough investigations, so he could only be patient and wait for them to show their heads slowly.
......
Sophia was very irritable recently.
The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
Sophia knew she shouldn't be in this state, but she couldn't help it.
She lay flat on her back, not daring to move, her stomach was uncomfortable, and she was inexplicably irritable.
When did Aaron touch her, he didn't even want to think about it himself.
Probably the royal family has a good tradition of pampering people, so he didn't dare to say a word when Sophia threw him out, and silently changed his place to sleep.
What did Aaron do? He covered his face and wanted to slap himself.
He did not know that Sophia's period had arrived, so when Sophia was in bed, lying with a coffin board, she pinched her waist and put her on her own body, the worst thing is to put before also turned twice.
Sophia screamed out on the spot, Aaron was shocked, and then looked dumbfounded at a small piece of blood on his body, with this piece of blood by the pillow hit out of the door.
The servants shivered and went in to help Sophia clean up, not daring to say a word or make an extra move during the process.
Afraid to be beaten out like the king.
But this is not the most important reason for her annoyance, Sophia remembered what happened at noon.
Today at noon, when the sun was at its brightest, Sophia happened to be in the mood to go out for a walk and a stroll, and saw from afar two little maids of twelve or thirteen years old, carrying buckets of water and arguing.
Most gentle people love children, and Sophia is one of them, so when she saw these two cute little girls, she stood there from afar and listened.
It was not a big deal, but one of the girls was complaining that the other girl always gave her the heavy work, and the other girl refused to admit it and tried to get her to do more.
Because of such a small matter argued, the more quarrelsome the fire, the more difficult to say, even Sophia can not listen to a little.
The little girl who always does the heavy work is simply being pressed and scolded by the other little girl, and is about to be scolded and cried.
Sophia couldn't sit still and wanted to stop them, but she couldn't stop herself from talking to the two cute girls, so she had to go out and stop them herself.
The girl was scared and cried on the spot, fell to her knees, and the maid who was watching also rushed out to apologize.
Sophia shivered, pursed her lips, and got angry.
"Send her back, she is not fit to serve in the palace." Sophia said, holding back her anger.
The girl in her arms froze and looked at her with a cute look that softened her heart.
"It's okay." She said in a warm voice.
The girl shook her head dumbly and suddenly let out a cry, sobbing, "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I'm sorry."
Sophia sighed, stroked her head and said comfortingly, "You did the right thing, no need to apologize."
Without having time to say more to her, she was persuaded by the panicked maid to go back and change her clothes.
It didn't take long for her stomach to start hurting.
It was not pleasant to have a bucket of cold water poured on you on a hot summer day, let alone now when the weather was turning cooler.
Sophia was pale and leaning against the bed, her lips were starting to turn white from the pain. The servants had prepared hot water and a warming bag, and went to the doctor to prescribe medicine to warm the uterus, but it didn't work that fast.
Aaron heard the news and rushed over. Seeing her pale face, he was so distraught that he wanted to take her in his arms and comfort her, but Sophia refused.
"Don't move, can't move ......" Sophia small face hanging hard to find the aggression, the pain of the eyes is red, but also forcibly don't want him to see out.
Aaron and funny and heartbroken, simply sit next to her, the quilt pulled tight, with a warm bag hand hot, covered in the small of her belly slowly rub.
"You're just too soft-hearted." Aaron said helplessly.
Sophia sunken a small face, said unhappily: "I can't watch that bucket of cold water pour on a child, they just catch a cold and no one will let them go to rest."
Aaron didn't refute her, gently hugging her and warming her with his own body heat.
"Soon it won't hurt anymore, I'll stay with you."
He was so gentle and considerate that Sophia was unnatural, nudging him gently and asking in a whisper, "Are you done with the politics?"
"No." He closed his eyes and leaned against her, "Nothing important, not as important as spending time with you."
Sophia blushed and nudged him again.
"You'd better go, I just have a stomachache, I'll be fine in a while, I don't need you to accompany me."
He raised his head and looked at her seriously, looking at Sophia's body burning up, and her stomach didn't seem to hurt so much.
He said, "But I just want to stay with you."
Unable to resist Sophia, Aaron simply had the documents moved to the bedchamber, rubbing Sophia's stomach with one hand and reading the documents with the other.
It was probably because the room was too warm that Sophia dozed off and fell asleep, her head a little bit, being wrapped around Aaron and resting on his shoulder.
Aaron's body heat is like a hot little sun, has always attracted Sophia unconsciously to his side to lean on him, not long most of the people on his body.
Aaron let her squeeze around in his arms, his hand kept on her belly, his hand got sore after a while, but looking at Sophia's gradually rosy face, it was very comforting.
The two of them had a tacit agreement not to bring up the matter of her period again, as if she had never had a cranky period.
The two of them are getting closer and closer, and the previous resistance is as if it never existed, but probably menstruating women are a bit sensitive, she always feels that life is a bit unreal now, especially want to grab something, but do not know what to grab.
Until the day she received a letter from Meta Moon's community.
Sophia hesitated for a long time before deciding to open the letter, which was sent by her parents with a letter from Susan.
There was only one sentence on the letter.
'Sister, I suddenly don't envy you anymore, anyway, you and the king are only tied together because of the mate relationship, unlike me and brother Carl, who truly love each other.'
This one sentence, like a million needles sticking into her heart, she finally understood what she had been trying to hold on to.
Susan really knew her well and guessed her mind to the letter.
She cared a lot.
She had been in a trance all day, thinking blindly in her mind.
Was the mate relationship really more important than personal wishes?
And what kind of feelings did Aaron have for her, did he also like her because she was his mate?
Such a thought was too much for her to accept, and she didn't want to think about the possibility, but she still couldn't help but want to know the answer.
Aaron felt that something was wrong with her and even started avoiding his sight, simply blocking her in the corner of the table.
"What's wrong with you?" His brow was furrowed and he always had a bad feeling in his heart.
Sophia hesitated not wanting to ask him and was pressed into the chair and kissed by him.
She pushed Aaron away and calmed her breathing so that her voice didn't sound so shaky.
"Aaron, I have a question for you and I hope you'll answer me seriously."
"You ask." Aaron said without hesitation.
"If I wasn't your mate," Sophia could see that Aaron wanted to retort and gagged him, "I mean if, if I wasn't your mate, would you still like me?"
Sophia looked at him hopefully, hoping to get a yes out of him, but she was doomed to disappointment.
Aaron didn't know what came to his mind, but he was silent, neither affirming nor denying, as if he was caught in a memory.
The light in Sophia's eyes dimmed little by little, and she pushed him away unbearably, turned her head and walked out.
"Sophia!" Aaron was awakened and hurriedly shouted to stop her.
Sophia didn't turn around, her shoulders trembling slightly.
"I don't want to listen to you right now, leave me alone." She said sadly.
Aaron watched her leave, not knowing for what reason he didn't follow her, and sat back in his seat in silence, waiting quietly.
Within ten minutes, Sophia came back, sat back in her seat and quietly took care of the task at hand without looking at him again, as if she had forgotten the conversation she had just had.
Aaron hesitated many times, but finally did not coax her.
The two of them seemed to be at a standstill, and Sophia continued to take care of what she had to do seriously, no longer being too intimate with Aaron, she could not get past the hurdle in her heart.
