Sophie stared at Flora unbelievably about that certain thing she didn't know, especially how to organize such a big place.
Sophie was aware of swords, knives, and dreadful training, not fancy things, and she looked at Flora, "Why me?"
"It's a tradition for the new queen to renovate the palace for her to please herself."
Flora just smiled at her and said, "It will be difficult at first, but once you get used to your grace, everything will be easy."
"Master Axel will be out of the palace for 3 days, and you have time to prepare this place to be grand before the ceremony."
Flora said as she placed the yellow cloak on Sophie's shoulder and her hair was braided with tiny flowers that Flora arranged and they started to walk, "Ceremony for what Flora?"
Flora just chuckled as she saw how flushed Sophie's face was, and she couldn't help but be happy at how cute Sophie was and said, "To hale you as a new queen."
Sophie was just following Flora and stopped when she saw a room full of many books.
She didn't even know how to read and just recited the pictures in the book, but she enjoyed them so very much.
Flora, who was walking alone, paused when she felt that there was nothing of a presence behind her, and Flora returned to the way they went when she saw Sophie inside the bibliotheca.
"What are you doing here?"
Sophie paused and said, "Oh, I'm sorry. Did I interrupt something?"
Flora came to a halt when she noticed Ayesa, who was standing on the bibliotheca with her hands around her waist,
looking down on Sophie, and Flora said, "Your grace, please, we should continue our duties."
Sophie was just amazed and said, "Can we start here, Flora?"
Flora was stunned, but to irritate Ayesa even more, she replied, "Sure, your grace."
Flora went between Ayesa and Sophie and said, "I think you should get out because you have no business here."
Ayesa grinned and looked at Flora and just passed by Sophie without bowing, but Flora was about to go ahead and apologize for her subordinate's action, but she just saw Sophie, who was looking at the pile of books that were displayed high above the ceiling, and said, "Flora, can you read books?"
Flora smiled and said, "I'm sorry, your grace, but I don't know how."
Sophie was just looking and said, "Don't worry, I don't know how either."
"Can you open the curtains for me?"
Flora was stunned and confused that this beautiful Luna didn't know how to read, but she was no longer wasting time, and she started pulling the rope and the blinds full of dust, opened and Sophie was dazzled by the sun's rays.
But she was dazzled by how bright every corner of this room was.
The palace looked Gothic outside and inside because of her blinds, and Sophie asked, "I hear there are tours that take place inside the palace. Why aren't there any more?"
Flora was going down the stairs and said, "Before they go here, because of the history inside the palace, like artifacts and all, but because of the place itself, no parents have sent their children here."
"The fear of not seeing their little ones again."
Sophie held her chin and looked at Flora, then said, "Can we conduct a meeting here?"
"Especially with home decor, I know how and where to start it."
---
"What? 3 bags of gold?"
Sophie was considering that 3 bags of gold was more than enough for her to use before disappearing from the world when she asked, "Is there an alternative material to fix it?"
"That is much cheaper."
Sophie likes the design, which is just to enhance the displays and paint the palace gray, because she likes the gothic vibe the palace gave her, but it was such a waste to spend so much on some simple renovation.
The assistant handling the money spoke, "Excuse me, your grace, the King left 100 bags of gold for the renovation, in case you didn't know!"
Sophie was dumbfounded, and her muscles trembled a bit.
She pondered it inside the bibliotheca, surrounded by three people: Flora, the home decorator, and the assistant in charge of the money.
A three-bag waist is too much for her, but if the palace is beautiful before Axel returns, she will continue.
Sophie got up and said, "Do you have another plan to change the blinds?"
"I want it to be white."
The home decorator, Clauda, was about to speak when she was halted.
"Why are you changing the blind?"
"And who opened the curtains? It was a tradition to close those all the time!"
Ayesa was furious and went to the second floor and was about to close the blinds when Sophie shouted, "Guards!"
Ayesa halted and saw that the guards were already inside the room.
"Get her out of here. She didn't even respect me or even the people around me."
"Please don't let her get in."
Ayesa was so pissed and looked at Flora, who looked worried about her, because of everything that had happened.
Ayesa was so pissed that Flora and Sophie suddenly got close, and what pissed her off more was the fact that she was never pregnant with Axel's glory.
"That's a tradition! What if Master Axel knew this?"
Ayesa was dragged out of the room, and they all went silent.
"So is there any color?" Sophie smiled.
And Claudia said, "The white color for the blind will do, your grace, just tell me the word and I will get it done."
"The assistant and I will discuss how much everything is."
Sophie looked at Claudia and said, "I want it to be done tomorrow, first thing in the morning."
"Thank you so much!"
Sophie nodded at Flora, and Flora went ahead to follow the two people she had talked to.
Sophie felt so magical while looking at the room they called the Bibliotheca, and decided to look at the books that were on the shelf about her, and decided to get a book with a picture.
She decided to keep the book and went to the seat near the window to open it.
"The Little Red Ridding Hood." Sophie said, in a loud voice.
"Faking that you don't know how to read?"
"How delusional?" Ayesa said, her eyes flaming with anger.
"If you deceived Flora, I'm sure you deceived Master Axel as well."
Ayesa scoffed and asked, "What are you?"
