7. Sofia's Reaseon

Hearing Anthropy's words, Sofia couldn't believe it at all. She looked at the handsome man in front of her without blinking. She knew that Anthropy was being serious right now, but that didn't mean she should just believe what strangers said.

"Don't ever slander my father! Even if you say that you have extraordinary powers, I will never easily believe what people say. My father is still the king who has full power in the Mystic kingdom. Even though at this time father is not looking for me, I'm sure father can carry out all the tasks that are placed on his shoulders very well without any influence from other people or my family. I know Amber and her mother are bad people But please don't ever slander her. So far I've been the one hiding, not those who don't want to take me as a member of the royal family. I already feel that I don't deserve to be there. They weren't the ones who dumped me. So don't ever make up stories. You are not a good director and don't ever provoke me with what you say. "

Anthropy nodded. In fact he was very annoyed with Sofia's innocence. From the past until now Sofia did not have any suspicion of anyone even though she had been betrayed and dumped by Amber and her mother. She never let her heart hate them. This is what makes Anthropy even more reluctant to leave Sofia. He wanted to immediately introduce his wife to his family in the sky kingdom. He also wanted to immediately invite Arfando and take back the throne that should be his.

"Very well. I will obey your orders, princess. I know you are very gentle and sincere in loving anyone. Your heart is very pure and has never been stained with grudges even to those who have caused you harm. I know this is very difficult but I believe in it. that your chastity and sincerity are inherited from your mother. She is a very great woman like you. Betrayed by your father who is still willing to accompany father in various situations without even complaining. Mother is in danger because concubine Ann is always trying to eliminate her from the palace. Don't you want to save your mother at all? The Queen Mother who has given birth to such a great woman must be saved by you, Sofia. Don't just be sad about everything that happened to you that makes you forget that someone has been expecting a meeting with you."

Sofia was silent. She was really at a loss to decide whether she should believe Anthropy's words or not. The man in front of her was a new person in her life and she didn't want to rush in her steps. He could have claimed to be a good person and a person who cares for her but she didn't want his actions to make her fall under the influence of men who she didn't know whether he was a good person or a bad person disguised as a good human.

"You said you would protect me. Then why do you call me princess? If you really want to protect me you should also know what consequences I will receive when other people find out about my true identity? Don't ever think of yourself as the most caring human being. but actually you want to knock me down."

Anthropy nodded his head. He knew he was wrong for revealing Sofia's true identity indirectly by taking herself as princess. At first he just wanted to let Sofia know that he knew Princess Sofia's identity. He wants his wife to lower her ego a little and accept herself as someone who deserves to be a friend, friend or whatever at this time.

In fact what he thought was wrong. Instead of bringing himself closer to Sofia, the title Princess produced actually made the woman angry with him.

"I'm sorry, Sofia. I didn't mean to hurt you by calling you a princess. I just wanted to tell you that I'm a good person. I know who you really are and want to get you back where you belong.'

"No one should feel more entitled to take me anywhere than myself. I will do whatever I think is right and I will not do what I think is wrong."

"Including letting Her Majesty the queen suffer alone? You are a selfish princess. I never thought that the woman I love would be a stubborn woman like you."

"You love me?"

Anthropy was stunned to hear Sofia's question. It was only then that he realized that what he had just said had really boomeranged on him. The lips that he had previously closed from a single word called love, now he really thought he was very sly.

"I-I-I'm sorry, Your Majesty. I didn't mean to at all. . . ."

"Leave me alone!"

Sofia stepped closer to the loom that she had been letting to watch her debate with Anthrophy. She immediately stroked an object made of very sturdy wood. A sacred object that will always remind her of her life with her family. Nothing she forgets including how her father chose to side with concubine Anna and daughter Amber when she decided to stay married to her husband Foxy in the form of a wolf.

"I know I'm not a perfect human, Anthropy. I'm selfish. I hid and fled from the harsh reality of life and seemed unconcerned with the suffering of the queen. I know I was wrong, but I have reasons when I do what you think is wrong."

Anthropy, who was still standing where he was, could only stare at the woman who until now still looks very young and beautiful. He tried to understand what Sofia was saying.

"I wanted to ask the queen mother to leave the palace, but I couldn't bear it. Life outside the palace is fierce and I don't want my mother to suffer with me at all."

"Then do you think that when your mother lives with a fortune, she will be happy?"

"Who knows. I just don't want mom to suffer. Mother is physically very weak. I don't want my mother to fight for her own life. I'm sure when in the palace, many servants and soldiers protect her. I can tell from the mirror my husband gave me. I always looked at my mother from here and it was the only way my life would be calmer. I see a lot of people who love the queen mother."

No answer from Anthrophy. He had almost forgotten that he had given her a magic mirror when he married Sofia. The mirror that he stole from the sorceress who had turned him into a wolf which is still being sought by the witch Sarah in the palace of the heavenly king.

Two humans of different sexes were still silent in their respective places, until a few moments later a voice startled them.
