The First Tyrant of Daxia

The sky was gradually getting dark. A new moon hung high in the sky, and the surrounding stars were twinkling as if they were blinking.

Qin Yun returned to the palace, passed through the numerous gates, and came to the garden.

The garden was quiet with only the chirping of insects, as if a concert was being performed.

Qin Yun walked through the fairy-tale-like garden, and heard a faint sobbing sound in the tool storage at the back of the garden.

I opened the tool shed and found no one inside.

But when Qin Yun opened the cellar where the tools were placed, as the starlight and moonlight shone down, he could vaguely see a figure curled up in the narrow cellar.

"Sophia, you are here after all!" Qin Yun looked at the figure in the cellar and said helplessly.

Hearing the familiar voice outside, Sophia choked up and said, "Your Majesty, how did you know I was here?"

Qin Yun smiled and said, "I am the Great Xia Divine Dragon, the Supreme Being, the true Son of Heaven. I can guess where you are, and it's always right."

The moon is like a crescent, as quiet as water.

Qin Yun said, "Don't be sad. You've been crying all day. This cellar is so narrow. Wouldn't it be stuffy if you cried in there?"

"Yes, a little bit..." Sofia answered weakly while crying.

This stupid feeling is so familiar.

Qin Yun couldn't help but laugh: "Why don't you come up?"

After saying that, Qin Yun stretched out a hand towards the cellar, signaling Sophia to come up.

But Sophia did not immediately hold Qin Yun's hand.

Her mind was like a mess and she didn't know how to deal with it.

Qin Yun pretended to be angry and said, "If you don't come up, I will be angry!"

"Don't!"

Sophia subconsciously grabbed Qin Yun's hand.

Qin Yun grabbed Sophia's hand tightly and pulled her out.

Sophia had been crying for too long in the small cellar, her whole body felt weak, her limbs were powerless, she could not stand steadily, and fell directly into Qin Yun's arms.

Qin Yun held Sophia in his arms and sat on a chair in the tool room.

"Sophia, if you have any worries, you can tell me. I may be able to help you solve them." Qin Yun said gently, touching Sophia's little head.

Facing this clumsy little maid, Qin Yun always couldn't help but become gentle.

Sophia lowered her eyes, and her usually bright eyes became dull and lifeless, as if she had suffered a great blow.

“Your Majesty, Queen Maureen said that I am the daughter of the late king and her biological sister…” Sofia curled up her legs and spoke in a low voice, as if she was mumbling.

Qin Yun said: "I know."

"Your Majesty knows?"

Looking at Sophia who was frowning and seemed to be asking why she had kept it from me, Qin Yun said, "In fact, I already knew it. The reason I didn't tell you was because Maureen didn't allow me to tell you."

"Why?!" Sophia's voice couldn't help but rise a few degrees.

Qin Yun knew that this was the knot in Sophia's heart, and explained softly: "In fact, have you ever thought that when Maureen found out that you are her biological sister, she felt the same as you?"

Sophia stared at Qin Yun in a daze.

Qin Yun said: "You and Maureen do not have the same mother. Before Maureen found you, you had never lived together. Maureen did not know how to accept your existence."

"Just like you didn't know that after you knew this, you couldn't accept her existence for a while, right?"

Sophia blinked and felt that what Qin Yun said seemed to make some sense.

Qin Yun touched her little head and said with a smile: "Putting aside those so-called identities, don't you know how Maureen has treated you over the years?"

When Sophia heard Qin Yun's words, she fell into deep thought.

If it weren't for Maureen, she would have starved to death on the street.

It was Maureen who brought her back to the palace, provided her with a life of plenty, and found a teacher for her to guide her studies.

Qin Yun said: "Although Mo Lin did not accept the fact that she was a sister, she did fulfill her obligations as a sister, didn't she?"

"Ok!"

Sophia nodded vigorously, and her dim eyes became bright and sparkling.

Qin Yun said: "It's good as long as you figure it out."

Sophia was like a kitten, timid in Qin Yun's arms: "Your Majesty, you are so kind that you even came all the way to persuade me."

Qin Yun laughed and rubbed Sophia's cute little round face: "You are my little baby, how could I not care about you."

"I'm going to find Queen Maureen!" Sophia suddenly raised her head from Qin Yun's arms and said.

Qin Yun sensed her determination and nodded.

The two came to the palace hall.

At this time, Maureen was still worried about not finding Sophia, especially when she heard the reports from her subordinates that Sophia had not been found, she felt even more irritated and uneasy.

"Your Majesty!" Sophia and Qin Yun appeared at the entrance of the hall.

"Sophia!"

When Maureen saw Sophia return safely, a hint of joy appeared on her face.

But the next moment, he said with a straight face: "Humph, why don't you hide forever?!"

Sophia didn't care about Maureen's attitude. In fact, Maureen always showed this expression when she did something wrong, and she was used to it.

"Your Majesty, Sophia knows she is wrong."

Sophia admitted her mistake.

"Hmph! Don't think I will forgive you just like that!" Maureen said with a cold face, but her anger had obviously subsided a lot.

Sofia smiled sweetly: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter. What Sofia wants to say is that no matter what, Sofia is very grateful for your help over the years."

"In Sofia's heart, you are the best queen!"

Maureen's eyes were a little red, and she felt inexplicably moved.

But she quickly covered it up.

"Humph!" Maureen pouted and said, "Since you've said so, let's forget about it."

Sofia chuckled and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. It's so late. Sofia will go prepare dinner right away."

Maureen nodded.

But the next sentence made Sofia freeze.

"Now that you're back, don't go out and continue your lessons tomorrow. By the way, your arithmetic teacher misses you very much and wants to teach you more knowledge."

"No way?!" Sophia turned back blankly, her eyes empty.

What she disliked most was arithmetic class. No matter how hard she tried, she just couldn't figure it out!

Seeing Sophia's dazed look, Maureen's lips curled up slightly into a smile.

Qin Yun stretched lazily.

The two sisters reconciled and everything went smoothly.

Just as I was thinking, a soldier ran up in a hurry, "Your Majesty, someone is here to see Your Majesty."

Although he called out to Mo Lin, his eyes were looking at Qin Yun.

Obviously, he knew very well that with Qin Yun here, he was the one in power.

Maureen was not angry about this, instead she looked as if it was a matter of course.

Qin Yun said: "Let him in!"
