Sophie Opens Her Tavern

That night, Sophie couldn't immediately sleep in her new home. Even though it was her home, it still felt foreign because, until earlier that day, she and the children had not stayed there. She felt more at home in the royal palace, having her own apartment there and spending months living there with the children.

KNOCK

KNOCK

"Come in," Sophie said when she heard the knocks on her door.

The door was opened by her oldest sons who came inside her room with their hands holding their pillows.

"Mom, can we sleep here?" Luciel asked Sophie. He gave her his best puppy eyes. "I can't sleep in my room."

"Me neither," Jan added. "This is a new place."

Sophie nodded with a smile. She patted the space on her bed and motioned the boys to come. "Sure, come up here."
