283 The Commotion In The Palace

Sophie took a deep breath and turned to Leland. Her voice sounded tired when she spoke. "Can we talk again later? Perhaps we both need to think separately on how we should deal with this problem."

Leland didn't want to think separately because he already knew what he wanted and how he would make his decision. However, he didn't want to force Sophie to stay with him when she wanted space to be alone.

"All right," Leland said expressionlessly. He closed his eyes and leaned his back on the headboard. Sophie took a deep breath and patted his shoulder gently before she climbed down the bed and went to open the door.

She didn't want Luciel to feel worried about her. Leland opened his eyes when he heard the door was closed from outside and Sophie's scent no longer lingered in the room.

"Luciel," Sophie smiled widely and pulled Luciel to her embrace.
