Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang An had been preparing for the charity event. This was Sophie’s appearance for the throne, so she had to do her best. For this reason, she did not even attend the farewell party of The Legend of Gan Lan.
She had already done her best for this television drama. It did not matter if she did not go to the farewell party.
However, nothing could go wrong with Sophie’s matter. The fight for the throne had to be guaranteed. If anything happened to affect the subsequent plan, it would affect Sophie’s safety.
Since the royal family of Country F had real power, it was destined that there was a high chance of bloodshed in this battle.
Princess Annie had tried to contact Sophie more than once, but Jiang An had blocked her.
Sophie was fighting for the throne, but not for her mother. The fact that Princess Annie was trying to contact a foreign government meant that she was not suitable for the throne.
Country F needed a wise monarch to lead the people to peace.
However, they could not stop Princess Annie or the generals of France. They used all kinds of methods to test Sophie, wanting to know what she thought of the throne and how powerful she was.
Sophie sighed. “What are they trying to say?”
“They want to choose you, but before choosing you, you have to confirm that you can settle the matters in the country,” Zou Bai said.
He definitely had a say in this. Even Sophie and the others couldn’t compare to him.
Zou Bai had been the head of the family for so many years. When he was in charge of the Zou family’s secret guards, he had seen this kind of thing many times.
Sophie’s eyes lit up. “Does that mean I have my own power now?”
Jiang An said, “It’s still too early to be happy. Although they’ve shown that they’re testing you, they’re not on your side. Even if they’re on your side, they can turn against you at any time. We can’t place our hopes on them.”
Zou Bai had a look of admiration on his face. “An’an is right.”
Sophie thought for a moment and said, “I remember my grandfather saying that there are no eternal enemies in politics. There are only eternal benefits. Even if it’s a blood feud, as long as you can obtain greater benefits, you can shake hands and make peace.”
“Grandpa is right,” Gao Tian said. “Politics can’t be judged by personal likes and dislikes.”
Hearing this, Sophie understood that these people were trying to harden her heart. If she wanted to take the throne, she could not maintain her current state.
She had to grow up as soon as possible. At the very least, she should be able to do what a queen should do.
“I’ll send a message back to clarify my situation, but I’ll try to be as tough as possible. I’ll let them know that I’m not afraid of anyone,” Sophie decided.
Then, she looked at Jiang An and Zou Bai, wanting them to see if this was a good idea.
Zou Bai nodded and said, “This is the best way. It doesn’t show your strength, but it also intimidates those people.”
Jiang An thought for a moment. “The person who sends the letter back must be from the Jiang family. Let them know the Jiang family’s choice.”
Since the plan had been finalized, Jiang An quickly sent someone to implement it. The most important thing now was the day of the public welfare event.
Jiang Zhen was afraid that Country F would send people to cause trouble, so he was extremely busy with the security work that day. He was just short of time to sleep.
Jiang Hai and Li Mei also knew what Jiang An wanted to do, but they didn’t care at all. Since Jiang An was the successor, they had to trust her judgment and decision.
Even if they could stop it now, they would still be able to do whatever they wanted after they died. It was better to watch from the side. They would be responsible for whatever happened.
The three brothers gave their best help. As long as their little sister wanted to do something, they would support her.
With the cooperation of the Jiang family, the security level on the day of the public welfare event was almost at the highest.
There were even detectors at the door to ensure that no one brought guns and knives in.
Sophie was a little nervous. She looked at herself in the mirror and asked Jiang An, “An’an, can I really do it?”
“Believe in yourself.” Jiang An walked over and held her hand. “You’re Princess Sophie. You have to fight for the happiness of the people of Country F.”
She didn’t say many encouraging words, but the mention of the people was enough to give Sophie courage. There were people behind her who were about to be caught in the crossfire, and in order to prevent that from happening, she had to succeed in today’s appearance.
As the initiator of the charity event, Jiang An was the first to go on stage. She did not dress up too much. After all, the main character today was Sophie.
After a few words on stage, she changed the topic to Sophie. “We have Princess Sophie to thank for the implementation of this public welfare project. She gave us her full support..”
