Both Rihanna and nita get shocked and start looking at each other .
Rihanna pov
At first I can't believe my ears , if she is daughter of Maid, then why she wearing noble clothes ?
Ari explains - Head Maid is personal maid of emperor when he is kid , she take care of emperor like his own son or maybe more then that , Sofia her real daughter become bestfriend of emperor,
But unfortunately one day head maid die, that is the first and last time emperor Cried , and head maid take promise from emperor that he will take good care of Sofia,
Rihanna - now I understand everything, so emperor take care of Sofia as family member and provide her same respect like noble , ( she thought )
Ari with slight smile - Both head maid and her daughter Sofia is kind hearted and sweet , ( flinch her eyebrows ) but I don't know but I feel different behavior of Sofia ,
Rihanna again looked outside at Sofia With suspicious gazed - but the way she is shouting at that men is not at all looked kind and sweet?
