"Did you say something, Your Grace? I am sorry, I didn't hear you..." Sophie asked the queen politely. She thought Queen Marianne said something to her but she couldn't hear her. So, to avoid being rude for not listening to the older woman's words, Sophie asked Queen Marianne to repeat what she said.
"No-nothing... I was just remembering something unimportant." The queen waved her hands awkwardly and reach for her wine glass and took a big gulp. The three lycans in the dining room, however, heard her words very clearly and their faces beamed.
Nicholas was glad to receive his mother's open support to get back together with Sophie. He remembered in the past he was so worried about bringing Sophie to his family because he thought his family would be against him falling in love with a commoner girl. That's why he decided to marry her secretly before he would take her home.
