She took a sip of water while I stared at her with warmth in my chest. I was already looking forward to the day we left and Sophia would respond to my feelings. At the same time I was also on edge since I knew that definitely had things plans while we were here, And since Ella ordered me to seduce Sophia I could easily guess that she was his target. I didn't want to let that bastard have Sophia which is why I knew I needed to say something.
'I need to warn her….' I wouldn't say too much but I needed to make sure that Sophia knew that Leon wasn't a good person.
"Be wary of Leon" I made my last act of resistance and spoke to Sophia who looked over in confusion at my words.
"What do you mean?" She asked with a raised eyebrow as she put her glass of water back down on the table.
"He's dangerous" i said with an absolutely serious expression so that she knew that I wasn't messing around.
"And I think he's scheming something against you" My statement made Sophia narrow her ruby eyes.
"If he's dangerous why haven't you dealt with him?" She asked with clear confusion in her gaze.
"….I'm bound by the goddesses oath" I reluctantly responded and watched as Sonia instantly frowned at me.
"Why would you make an oath?" She asked a question that I had been asking myself for a long time.
"It's a long story but I can't harm him until it's complete" I let out a deep breath of exhaustion and ran one of my a hands across my face.
"If you can't harm him why not have Alexia or Ella~" Sophia was still frowning as she started to speak but I cut her off in the middle of her sentence.
"They're bound in a similar way and can't harm him either" I said not wanting to tell her that Ella was basically Leon's lackey and would protect him from.
"…." Sophia stared at me for a couple of seconds before she let out a sigh and grabbed her glass of water again.
"What have you gotten yourself into?" She shook her head with another sigh leaving her lips while taking a sip.
"Wait" Sophia paused with the glass still close to her lisp as she turned her head quickly toward me.
"If he's dangerous then Aria~" She started to speak with worry in her tone but I cut her off once again in the middle.
"She's fine you don't have to worry" I lied through my teeth not wanting to tell her that Aria was basically Leon's portable toy.
"Good" Sophia let out a sigh of relief with in hand in her chest as she put the glass back down on the table in front.
"Thank you for warning me" She looked over at me with a grateful expression as she reached out and grabbed one of my hands.
"I'll keep an eye on him but I doubt that he can cause much trouble for me" Sophia smiled with the aura of a queen but I knew Leon much better than she did.
'That's because you don't know him' I said in my head but I didn't want Sophia to find out everything that had happened.
"Just be wary" I said once again with seriousness as the older woman nodded her head showing that she understood.
"Now about being my escort" Sophia changed the subject and leaned back on the couch with a smile on her lips.
"We'll need to match of course" She said staring at me and I couldn't stop the smile that came onto my lips.

I had spent a few or so hours talking with Sophia and felt my mood lifting greatly. The fog in my head after what happened with my mother and sister was still there but I was able to think a bit straight. Eventually though I reluctantly left Sophia's room and walked down the hallway toward my own room, It was only after I made it about halfway did I come to a stop and look up at the open sky that wasn't covered by any roofing.
'I should talk to Evelyn' As much as I as wanted to ignore what happened I knew that I should at least talk to my elder sister.
