But Angelina was different.
She had been manic, foolish, and frustrated, but she never gave up easily.
Even when confined by Roland, even when gagged by her, she still quietly explored her path forward.
Sofia smiled with satisfaction.
Although still a half-finished product, she finally saw the embryo capable of independent thought.
Sofia did not comment on Angelina's answer. Instead, she softly asked:
"Angelina, I intend to have you succeed Marshal Suvorov and make him your deputy. How are you going to fight this battle?"

Could the rumors be true, that Angelina is indeed the Empress's sister?
Thinking of this rumor, his suffocating chest felt a bit more relieved.
Even if Angelina really rose above him, it wasn't due to ability, but due to those damned familial connections.
Sahalin clenched his hand tightly, then slowly loosened it.
