From Tonight... You Are Mine

Karenina kissed the king's cheek and smiled sheepishly, then she turned to Queen Marianne.

After she received the hint, the queen smiled and nodded.

Queen Marianne clinked her glass to get everyone's attention. When the guests' eyes were all on the queen, Karenina put her arm around Nicholas' waist again and led him over to join the queen.

Nicholas, who was still dazed, just followed her steps. 

"Thank you, everyone, for coming to this very important event," the queen said with a smile. She walked forward and stood between Nicholas and Karenina. For a moment, she turned to look at Nicholas and Karenina in turn.

Karenina's smile grew wider. Her face was radiant like a flower that bloomed in the morning, while Nicholas looked indifferent. Right now all he could think about was Sophia Romanov.

No matter how hard he tried to stop thinking about her, he couldn't.

His heart and mind were out of his control.
