However, Adonis, adamant in his intention to check on his father, chose to overlook the unspoken hostility."Your majesty," Adonis addressed her with a composed air of authority, "I need to see how the king is faring."A tense tightening of Sophie's lips was the immediate response, as she subtly obstructed his path.
