Chapter 9

"By the way." Aaron suddenly thought of something with a bit of a consultative tone, "The palace has to hold a palace banquet every year to feast the nobles who come to pay their respects, and in previous years, they let the people below them to do it, but this year ......"
"I understand." She understood what he meant, in previous years it was because there was no hostess, but this year it was different.
Sophia nodded, not making it difficult for him, "I am your queen after all, just leave this matter to me, I was taught about this when I was in the pack, you don't have to worry." After all, she was once trained as the future Luna of the wolf pack as well.
This matter was settled, probably because the political affairs were really too busy, Aaron did not pester her to do that kind of thing again, but only insisted on holding her to sleep, Sophia symbolically struggled a few times, seeing that he really did not have that intention, so she also let him go.
Aaron appointed the maid who was serving Sophia as the first maid and asked her to help Sophia with matters related to the palace banquet.
The new first maid is very capable and has done a very good job with the things Sophia has given her, and most importantly, she respects Sophia enough and is loyal enough.
Because she was busy organizing the palace banquet, Sophia had dealt with almost everyone in the palace.
She is elegant and generous, gentle and generous, good to the servants, never scolded, which makes the rest of the palace are slowly accepted by the queen who has nothing to show.
Aaron listened to Nick's report, and was also very pleased.
She has always believed that Sophia is the most suitable person to sit on the seat of the queen, whether because of his feelings, or her ability to take charge.
And Sophia began to take the initiative to assume the responsibility of the queen, does that mean she is also starting to try to accept him?
Aaron was happy to hear these reports, happy that she was slowly integrating into his life, happy to see her right away.
He finished his business quickly and rushed back to his chambers.
Sophia, who had just come out of the shower and was about to lift the covers to get inside, was hugged from behind, startling her.
"It's me." Aaron gasped, turning her around and pressing her to his chest, his heart beating powerfully and a little sharply, hitting Sophia's nerves hard.
"What's wrong with you?" Sophia struggled to pull her head out, a little breathless from his strangulation.
Aaron pinched her face, a little chuckle in his voice: "It's been a hard few days, so I wanted to give you a little reward."
"Reward?" Sophia looked at him suspiciously, "No need, that's what I should have done."
"But I want to give it." Aaron said dominantly, and without waiting for her response, he picked her up by the waist and threw her onto the bed, Sophia landed on the bed with a scream, her body bounced twice on the soft mattress, and was immediately crushed by a strong body.
"Did you miss me?" Aaron said the meaning of the words, but Sophia immediately understood, shyly raised his leg to kick him, but he was pressed down.
"Baby, don't worry, I'll satisfy you right away."
Aaron tore off her clothes as she screamed, and this was already the first of many clothes he had scrapped at his hands.
Sophia couldn't even think about crying, the only thing she could do was gasp and moan, scratching mark after mark on his body to let off steam.
He was the one who was satisfied!
Sophia was so exhausted that she slept until dawn. When she woke up again, her body was very dry, probably because Aaron had cleaned her up after she passed out last night.
I thought Aaron would be gone when I woke up in the morning, but when I turned my head I saw his enlarged face.
The good mood of the day was gone.
Sophia watched with a wooden face as he called the maid in to serve her up, not even wanting to give him an extra look, she moved to the other side of the bed to get down, only to be pulled back before her feet even touched the floor.
"What's with the look?" Aaron cupped her face and rubbed it, distorting her little face.
Sophia opened his hand and turned her head sideways to sulk, her face bulging like an angry puffer fish, very cute, so cute that Aaron's heart itched to tease her again.
"What's wrong baby, did I not try hard enough to satisfy you last night?" He deliberately said nasty things to stimulate her.
Sure enough, Sophia's face blasted red and angrily yanked over the pillow to hit him.
"You're shameless!" Saying such shameful words.
When the servants saw this scene, their faces looked like they had seen a ghost, they only thought that their queen was too bold to treat the king like that, but then they looked at the king's expression, he just let the queen hit him and had a face of enjoyment.
The servants lowered their heads numbly and thought, "Beating is kissing and scolding is loving, the king and the queen are so in love!
This little love affair between the two was soon spread, originally only among the servants, but unexpectedly eventually spread to the outside, all the nobles knew that the king and the queen 'hitting is kissing and scolding is love', two people love each other very much.
When Aaron heard about it, not only did he not stop the news, he also pushed it along, hating that everyone knew how much love he had with the queen.
Susan, who is still in the capital, has also heard about this. Looking at the inactive man around her, and then thinking about the tall and magnificent Aaron in the palace, the balance in her heart is skewed again, and secretly she resents Sophia even more.
At the same time, the news of the royal banquet for the nobles came out, and because Susan is Sophia's sister, she was also written in the invitation list.
When Sudan learns of this, she feels that her chance has come and immediately goes into the palace to find Sophia.
When she found Sophia, she was overseeing the setup of the banquet. She had changed into a lightweight short-sleeved pants and was standing on a high stool directing the party, and the maids on guard below were so worried that they couldn't pull her down.
"Sister!" Susan called out as she stood next to the stool, and only then did Sophia realize that her sister was coming.
"Susan, what are you doing here, I was too busy to notice you." Sophia said embarrassedly, and was carefully helped down by the servants, who were finally relieved.
The queen is too capable is not a good thing, such a small thing personally come to watch, they were scared out of their wits, afraid that something would happen to her.
Susan intimately took Sophia, the two went to a little farther into the open, where a table was specially set up, with a pot of freshly brewed black tea on the top.
The servant poured the tea for them and stepped aside, leaving space for the two sisters.
"Is there something you came to see me about today?" Sophia inquired.
"Sister, you heard that you are in charge of the banquet at the palace." Susan bit her lip sheepishly, "Sister, you also know that I am Brother Carl's mate, and I will inevitably have to deal with these matters in the future, so I wanted to trouble Sister to see if I could be allowed to run the palace banquet with Sister, so that I could learn a little more following Sister."
Sophia was zapped by her disguised show of affection, but after thinking carefully, she still agreed.
After all, she was right, it wasn't her fault that her fiancé was snatched away, it was fate that there was no destiny, and she shouldn't be angry with her.
Sophia was very serious about her work, and was really serious about teaching Susan how to run a party, from the party's decorations to the party's food and drink, and gave her a very careful talk about it all.
The catering for the banquet is very important, and Sophia has always been personally responsible for it, but only today did she finalize the menu for the banquet.
"That's it, no problem, right?" Sophia asked carefully, listening to the cook's opinion.
Susan watched from the sidelines, a sweet smile on her face the whole time, never taking her eyes off the menu.
After the menu was ordered, Sophia was just about to put it away when Susan jerked it away.
"Sister, why don't you just give this to me." Susan shook the menu in her hand.
Sophia was a little hesitant, and the eldest maid also felt that it was not good, and whispered a reminder in Sophia's ear, "Your Majesty, the food and drink is the most important part of the banquet, and it is about the dignity of the royal family, so I am afraid it is not appropriate to give it to Miss Susan."
Susan glared at her, blaming her for being nosy, and then looked at Sophia who was swaying from side to side, tugging on her hem and pouting, "Sister, just give me a chance, I swear, I'll make sure this is done beautifully, okay?"
Sophia's heart softened and she agreed, thinking it was okay to leave it to her.
Susan let out a cheer and ran off with the menu.
The big maid looked at Sophia hesitantly, Sophia sighed and whispered, "I know what you're worried about, she's hardly motivated, I don't want to discourage her, besides, she's my sister, she won't harm me."
"Don't worry, I'll check again before the banquet starts."
Everything was going smoothly with the arrangements, except for the food.
Sophia was afraid that Susan hadn't managed this before and couldn't solve any problems, so she had the intention to help her, but she refused.
Sophia didn't even dare to say more, because if she did, Susan would put a label on her that she didn't trust her, making her very passive.
Susan probably understood her concern, patted her chest and said it was no problem, let her rest assured, said when the party began, will definitely give her a big surprise.
It was indeed a big surprise.
On the day of the banquet, there were many guests coming and going, and Sophia, the newly appointed queen, was very busy, she had to run the banquet process and accept the worship of the nobles, and could not wait to tear herself apart.
It's almost time for the banquet, but Aaron is still busy with government affairs and has to come later.
When Susan saw her going to the back kitchen, she was anxious.
When a servant passed by Sophia with a few glasses of red wine, Susan was moved to pretend she tripped and fell over the servant, and the red wine in the servant's hand was knocked away and splashed on Sophia, who was unable to dodge.
"Sorry, sorry." Susan steadied herself, saw the dirty piece on Sophia's dress, and apologized guiltily and incessantly.
"That's okay." Sophia frowned and didn't bother with Susan, instead she asked her with concern, "Are you okay, you didn't hurt anywhere."
"I'm fine," Susan looked at her soaked skirt and said anxiously, "Sister, go change into a gown, the king will be here in a moment, it's not appropriate for sister to wear a dirty and stained gown to the banquet."
Sophia carried the hem of her dress, looked at the dress, and then looked at the back kitchen, a little hesitant.
Susan pushed her and urged, "What are you hesitating for, sister, I'm watching here, it will be fine, sister, go now."
After thinking for less than three seconds, Sophia was dragged to change her dress, and when she came back, the food had been brought up.
The meal that was served was completely different from the menu that was drawn up at the time, to say that it was plain was all well and good, I should say it was incredibly simple, not at all the specifications of a palace banquet.
