Chapter 29

Aaron is still as good to her and considerate as before, but these good, these considerate, in her heart has become tasteless, not like with feelings, more like in the completion of the task.
She didn't want this kind of kindness.
She knew she was stepping into a dead-end cycle, and it was too lame to be affected to this extent by Susan's words, but this was a piece of her heart, her disease, and even if she was well versed in psychology, she couldn't cure herself of it.
Aaron didn't know how to comfort her and could only coax her, not realizing that it would make her heart condition worse.
This situation continued until someone proposed to inspect the community.
"After the new king ascends the throne, in order to get familiar with the situation of each ethnic group as soon as possible, so that each ethnic group submits and feels the majesty of the royal family, each new king has to go to each ethnic group to inspect, this is a rule and an opportunity." Aaron explained.
"I ascended the throne when it was a time of chaos, this matter was delayed, but now is a good time."
"You, do you want to go out for a break?" Aaron asked her tentatively.
Sophia had been bored in the palace for a long time and did have the idea of going out, but she was still having trouble with Aaron right now and didn't want him to see it so clearly.
"All at the king's command." She said indifferently.
Aaron laughed bitterly in his heart.
"According to the rules the queen is required to accompany the new king," Aaron coughed and decided unilaterally, "I will have someone prepare right away, so I'll trouble the queen to follow me on a hard trip."
Sophia nodded, put the pen down and said stiffly, "Then I will go and order, supervise them by the way, and the gifts brought to the clan groups should also be prepared right, there are still a lot of things to do, I will not stay here with the king, the king will work hard and handle the political affairs by himself today."
However, they didn't get out on time this trip because the daughter of the White Moon Clan Alpha was coming to the king's capital.
"Miss Selina?" The big maid's expression was a bit unnatural when she heard Sophia's question.
"Yes, I heard that the one who is coming this time is called Selina, what is she?" Sophia looked up from her book.
"Is there something I can't tell you?" She asked suspiciously.
"No, there isn't." The big maid shook her head, "The White Moon pack is a big pack that ranks high among the wolves now, very much valued by the king, and Miss Selina is the honored little princess of the White Moon pack, very much favored while ......"
The big maid glanced at her, thinking that she had to know sooner or later, and gritted her teeth and said it all.
"At the same time, also the king's former fiancée."
"Ex-fiancée?" Sophia looked at her in shock, "The king had a fiancée before?"
"Yes, it was set by the old king at the beginning." The big maid nodded, "Because the old king's queen came out of the White Moon Clan, so the old king very much wanted the king's mate to be a daughter of the White Moon Clan as well."
"That's so." Sophia was a little lost in thought.
The big maid hurriedly added: "But the king cancelled the marriage with Miss Selina when he ascended the throne, and the White Moon community did not express any dissatisfaction and acquiesced to the result."
"The king never wanted to marry Miss Selina."
Probably because she knew she was looking bad now, Sophia forced a smile.
"What are you afraid of, that I will care about these things? Don't worry, I don't care."
Seeing her smile, the elder maid reluctantly put her heart down and went out to refill her tea.
As soon as she left, the smile on Sophia's face fell.
Don't care? How could she not care?
No one had ever told her this, and if she hadn't had to meet up with that Miss Selina, I'm afraid she would still be in the dark.
Aaron's former fiancée was a noble princess, while she was just a daughter of an ordinary beta, what could she do to compare with others?
Was she really compatible with Aaron?
Sophia did not say this to Aaron, and smothered it in her own heart.
Selina didn't have an exact time to say when she would arrive. Sophia was really bored in the palace, so she took her servants to wander around the royal capital.
The door was pushed open and a tall, beautiful woman walked in.
The people in the cafe all looked towards the door and marveled at seeing the beauty, but soon, the beauty was recognized.
"Isn't this Miss Selina of the White Moon Clan, why has she come to the king's capital, she's not here to see the king, is she?" Someone whispered.
"What's wrong with coming to look for the king?" Someone who didn't know the truth asked in confusion.
"Miss Selina was the king's fiancée before, but for some reason the king repudiated her marriage, and now she is not married."
This small voice was heard by many people around, and Sophia also heard it.
Those people are still secretly talking.
"Our king didn't find mate to have the current queen, what else could be the reason?"
"You don't know this, the king repented of the marriage much earlier than finding a mate, if you ask me, it must be because this lady did something unbearable that made the king angry and repent of the marriage, otherwise why would the White Moon community not dare to say a word."
"There is such a thing."
"Of course, this lady actually has the face to come to our king now, and not afraid that the king will not see her and go back in the dust."
The talk was getting louder and louder, and Sophia felt a little guilty as she listened to the people talking and saw that others kept pointing at her.
After all, she was the later, and it should have been her who stole Selina's fiancé, just as Susan had stolen hers in the first place.
She felt a little shameful, turning into someone like her sister who made others feel bad, and she even wanted to rush out and refute these excessive words for her.
But apparently there was no need for her to be nosy.
This Miss Selina seems to be a very brash person with a very spirited personality. She stood up and walked directly to the gossiper, stretched her long legs, stepped on his table with a thud, tugged on his collar, and looked down at him with a smile.
"What did you just say? Come on, tell me straight."
Sophia was shocked, did not expect such a beautiful beauty way so wild, no nonsense at all, encounter things directly hands.
The man she tugged by the collar swallowed his saliva and said shiveringly, "No, didn't say anything."
"Tch." Selina regretfully shook him off and took the tissue handed to her by the servant and wiped her hands, "Useless thing."
She put her legs down and swept her eyes around, scaring those long-winded people to stop talking, before snorting and saying loudly, "You dare to discuss the king's affairs, don't you all want to die? Since you want to know, you might as well come and ask me in a big way."
Sophia put her ears up and peeked at her, pulling the brim of her hat down a bit.
"Don't you all want to know why the king broke off the engagement with me? I'll tell you, we don't think each other is suitable, do you understand? We are breaking off the marriage peacefully, why do we need to talk more."
Selina was disdainful, cold snort after cold snort.
"All give me long ears to listen well, I warn you for the last time, do not always say bad things about me in private, to say it in front of me, a group of big men, not every day with two mouths like, really annoying."
Sophia almost didn't laugh out loud, after Selina sat down, mixed in with the people who left and went away, rushed back to the palace.
After changing her clothes, Sophia went to see Aaron.
"The people from the White Moon pack are arriving soon, is the king free to go with me to meet them?"
"Almost there?" Aaron looked at her in surprise.
"I was just hanging out when I heard someone talking about them, and after confirming that it was them, I went ahead and came back." Sophia briefly said what happened when she met them.
As soon as Aaron heard the chatter, he knew there was going to be trouble.
What topic could he and Selina have been talked about, what else could it be except that previous engagement between the two of them.
He had forgotten to tell Sophia about it before because he was busy and didn't think it was important at all, but he didn't expect Sophia to know about it from someone else, and he didn't know which version he had heard.
"Sophia, there's nothing between Selina and me."
Sophia interrupted him and lowered her eyes, "Am I such an undivided person in the king's mind? Your Majesty can rest assured that I have not taken this matter to heart and will not play the jealousy thing."
"I'd rather you be jealous." Aaron said from behind her, "I'd rather you be jealous than to deliberately say you don't care."
"I'd be heartbroken."
Sophia's eyes reddened for a moment and braced herself to make her voice even.
"Your Majesty is worrying too much, I really don't care, and you don't need to be heartbroken."
Aaron hugged her from behind and murmured close to her ear, "Let's stop the cold war, okay?"
Sophia struggled for a bit, but didn't break away, so she simply let him hold her, she took a deep breath and suppressed the aggression in her heart: "It's my problem, I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
"Is it really that important what happened before? I swear, I really love you."
Sophia's stiff body slackened, all this time, she was the one who was unilaterally cold war with Aaron, but because of a meaningless issue, she was more serious for so long, and had to have the noble king lower his head first to coax her.
These are her problems; Aaron is not at fault.
She was the one who was very resistant to the mate relationship because of her past, and even though she knew that even without the relationship, with Carl's nature, she would probably leave her, she still relented.
Aaron was right, what happened before they fell in love really didn't matter that much, he really loved her now and she could feel it.
"Stop torturing me so much, okay?" Aaron's head rubbed against the back of her neck, "I really love you, more and more every day, believe me, okay?"
Sophia's aggression exploded in this moment, and she couldn't help but whimper and swallow her tears in one big gulp.
"I didn't want to... I didn't want to either." Sophia cried, "But I can't help but think, you think whether you really mean it to me or not, whether you're with me because you love me or not."
"I understand all that." He held her, not forcing her to turn and look at her vulnerable face, which he knew Sophia didn't want him to see.
"I know you're hurting so much because you've put me in your heart, Sophia, and I'm happy, really, I'm happy that you accept me and love me." Aaron's eyes were a little sore, this was what he had been waiting for a long time.
A really long time.
