Emilia frowned, why did Ellen assign rose to take care of the Alexiou Family she thought. “The commander isn’t right here at the Kester City.

However, some of the maids’ block Emilia’s path. “What do you think you’re doing?” Emilia protested, glaring at the maids that’s blocking her. “Let me pass or you will regret blocking me with your hand.” The maids suddenly hesitate. This is the first time that Sophie’s home she doesn’t want to stir up more trouble when her mother invited her here and willingly set aside their issues to dine with her because she misses Sophie.
