Cece's enjoyment ended the moment Sofia entered coldly with two other lords. The maids quickly knelt and bowed, but Cece frowned. She had no idea who they were… but she gently bowed her head anyway, yet Sofia wasn't impressed. "I didn't know you were even worse than what they said," she said, looking at Cece with open hostility.
Cece was confused. What did she do again? Sofia glanced at the table and shook her head. "I had to witness your arrogance myself. One of your mates just won the war, and you know how important he is. How dare you not show up?"
Cece sighed. Since the system had already indicated that the warlord almost despised her the most, she had made up her mind not to force him anymore and to avoid him. In fact, she had planned not to bother any of her mates… if only she could free them… "I…I don't…"
"I don't want to hear your dirty lies," Sofia cut her off, raising her hand. "You've been making people sad and cry…"
