Technically, as Sophie’s mother, Annie should be very opposed to the idea. After all, the person she was going to kill was her biological daughter.

However, the other party fell into a strange silence, as if she was thinking about the feasibility of this.

To be honest, Annie did not have much affection for Sophie. From the moment she conceived the child, she and her husband had been arguing non-stop.

When the child was born, their marriage exploded completely. There would be an argument every day.

Under such circumstances, Annie could not care less about the child. She left Sophie in the care of the nanny and sent her to her father’s side, not asking about her matters.

When the child was eight years old, the two of them finally reached the point of divorce. However, before they could settle the procedures, her husband passed away due to illness.

After being with her husband for so many years, Annie still had feelings for him. This was a blow to her. After that, she focused all her attention on power.

By the time she noticed their child again, Sophie had grown into a young girl. There was no way to make up for the lack of respect and intimacy she had for her mother.

She gave Sophie a bank card. In her opinion, as long as she gave her enough money, the child would naturally be close to her.

But Sophie had left the moment she became an adult, even returning the card intact, and from that point on Anne had realized that her daughter’s relationship with her would be like this for the rest of her life.

This time, she was very happy that Sophie returned to the country. She felt that her daughter was finally willing to return to her side. If the mother and daughter worked together, they would definitely be able to snatch the throne.

Unexpectedly, her daughter became the queen and she was thrown out like a dog.

She felt no kinship for her daughter at all, only a desire for power.

Just as Henry and John suspected that Annie didn’t want to and began thinking about how to shut her up, Annie said, “Kill her, then.”

Even though this was the result they were looking forward to, they were still shocked to hear that Annie could be so ruthless.

This was different from them wanting to kill the crown prince. If there was a conflict of interest between brothers, they would at most attack without caring about kinship.

However, Sophie was born after ten months of pregnancy. The fact that she could be so heartless proved that Annie did not even care about feelings.

The two of them secretly decided that after killing Sophie, they would kill Annie first. They could not let such a ruthless person stay.

Unbeknownst to Sophie, her birth mother was already trying to kill her and was fretting about the coronation ceremony.

There would be a ceremony after the king’s funeral. This was a tradition in Country F. They could not let the people fall into panic without a monarch.

Sophie wanted to learn the ritual protocol as soon as possible, and there had to be no mistakes, because the ceremony would be broadcast live on television.

With such a huge matter happening in the royal family, they had to use a grand ceremony to make the people forget it so that they could feel at ease.

However, the etiquette of the coronation ceremony was too complicated. The entire set took almost half a day. Just the gown for the ceremony was terrifyingly heavy, let alone the various procedures.

“Did they ever consider the monarch’s health when they designed this ceremony?” Sophie collapsed on the sofa.

Jiang An was invited to the palace to accompany her. Seeing her like this, she smiled and said, “Don’t let anyone see you like this. That won’t match the elegant image of a queen in their hearts.”

‘The queen is a living person, too. Of course there are times when she has to lie down,’ said Sophie defiantly.

She had been too free during her years in China. She had forgotten all about the royal etiquette and did whatever was comfortable, causing her to be a little unaccustomed to the royal etiquette now.

Jiang An tidied her gown. “But this gown couldn’t have been made in a hurry. Did Country F have a queen before?”

“There is,” Sophie said. “About a hundred years ago, I think. The succession bill didn’t recognize a female heir at the time, but the king only wanted a daughter. Everyone thought the throne would fall to the princess’s son, but the queen directly staged a coup to take the throne.”

This story was really legendary. Jiang An continued to ask, “There should have been many people who didn’t like her, right?”

Sophie nodded. “There were many. They thought women shouldn’t be kings, and the queen removed them from their nobility and ordered the army to drive them out of the kingdom. From then on, military power was always in the hands of the king.”

Jiang An sighed. “What a powerful queen.”

“That’s why my uncle asked me to wear this gown to the throne. This was made for the queen on her thirtieth anniversary. It’s a little damaged, but looks as good as new after reparation.” Sophie stroked the gown. “After all, the material is made of gold.”
