"Sister?"

Sophia didn't quite understand why Victoria was hugging her again, but she could clearly feel Victoria's sincere feelings. Sophia also stretched out her arms and put her arms around her sister's smooth back.

"Sophia, you really still remember what happened back then, right?"

Victoria pressed her cheek to her sister's face, and the sisters were identical together, like reflections in a mirror.

"I'm not resentful, I'm actually glad to be sent to my brother's ...... And grandfather's side. ”

Sophia turned her head away, pointing only her long hair at Victoria.

"Don't talk about these things. What about you, sister, how are you doing? Mother, is she okay?"

Although Sophia changed the topic again, Victoria couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart. After so many years of separation, it was an indelible rift between the twin sisters, who were supposed to be the closest of each other, and it was hard for Sophia to treat her parents as close relatives as she did, just as she found it hard to see Swain as her own brother.

However, Victoria is not the kind of girl who likes to put a melancholy and sad expression on her face. Despite the sorrow flowing in her heart, there was a smile on her face.

"I'm doing well, but Mom she misses you a lot, you really should have gone to see her sooner. Otherwise, when you go back this week, you can go and see her, he really misses you. ”

Sophia lowered her head, looked at the faces reflected in the water, and whispered, "If my brother agrees, I will go." ”

In a few words, he will say brother, even the insensitive Victoria can see that Swain has an irreplaceable position in Sophia's heart. But she only thinks that it is the only person she can rely on, and she can't let go of it.

"That's the best, if he doesn't agree, I'll go and tell him myself, I can't let you see your mother all the time." Victoria let go of Sophia and stared at her sister, "Promise me that you must go then, okay?"

Sophia nodded silently, but Victoria didn't know what was going on in her sister's heart

——————————

This unexpected reunion made Sophia glued tightly to Victoria. She is not very accustomed to her sister's self-familiar character, especially when she thinks of what her brother said before, "Her naughty mischief is not even comparable to that of boys, which makes many people feel a headache", she can't help but have a headache, although her personality is not as shy and afraid of life as Gladys, but she and Victoria are indeed diametrically opposed personalities.

Sophia, who couldn't help her sister's entanglement, finally had to reluctantly agree to her request and take her to visit her dormitory.

Gladys, who stayed in the dormitory, was originally invited by Sophia, but she didn't like it, or was afraid of public baths, and with her character, letting her take a bath with others was probably like killing her.

And the current situation also deeply disturbed Geratis. She thinks differently from those who are optimistic, from the Dehebas Kingdom to the history of the Siliurian Empire, there are many rebellions, although it is true that none of them can attack the imperial capital, but the rebels do not have to attack the capital of the empire to declare victory, and the empire has never been defeated as it claims.

Emperor Astrad I's father, King Bag I, in his later years, was unanimously protested by his subjects for the unjustified arrest of Duke Connaught, even if it was a majestic and outstanding emperor, in order to avoid rebellion and the division of the country, he had to pass the throne to Crown Prince Astrad in advance, and finally stopped in front of the emperor's throne.

Professor Ranke is not optimistic about the current situation, which also has a big impact on his daughter. Gladys spends most of her time outside of school in her dormitories, and yesterday's tirade about his father's might use the fleet of Porto León into the St. George's River made her feel so insecure that she was reluctant to even go out.

So when there was a knock on the door, Glatis shivered nervously, and her petite body jumped up from her desk.

Who could it be? She stared nervously at the door for a few moments, but never had the courage to open it.

"Gratis, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Sophia's voice outside the door, Gladys finally relented. It turned out that it was just to scare yourself. Thinking of her timid appearance just now, her face couldn't help but turn red. The door was opened in a hurry, but Sophia was not the only one who appeared in front of Glatis.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot the key to the door. Belch...... Did you have something on hand just now?"

Although she waited a long time for the door to open, Sophia, who had always been educated by a lady, did not mean to be angry, but Victoria behind her was a little impatient, but when she saw that it was a cute little girl like Gladys who opened the door, all complaints disappeared.

"Is this your roommate?

Victoria didn't look like a lady anymore, and as soon as she entered the door, she hugged Gladyse politely, and kept rubbing her cheek against her little face. Once again, poor Gladys enjoyed the "enthusiasm" from Miss Jerichault.

Originally, Gladys blushed a little because she didn't open the door in time and those timid thoughts, and the shy flush on her face as usual was also seen at a glance by Sophia standing in front of the door. However, now that Victoria is being troubled like this, Sophia can't care about the question just now.

"Okay, sister, don't make trouble. ”

Sophia dragged Victoria away, and if she didn't exert some effort, she really couldn't save Gladys, who was about to be kneaded and broken.

Breaking free from the clutches, Gladys hastened to hide behind Sophia, completely forgetting that she had had a similar encounter with Miss Jericho two days before. Although the "sister" and the face of the young lady made her care a lot, but for her at present, the small face is still more important than the truth.

Looking at Victoria, who was still staring at Gletis and still had a strange light in her eyes, Sophia couldn't help but hold her forehead with a headache. Although Victoria's appearance in the bathroom just now did make her heart a little touched, but now this sister was immediately revealed, and Sophia finally understood that the comments that Swain had heard about her sister were indeed not groundless.

Although she was troubled by her sister's behavior, Sophia still had to introduce them, and it looked like she was her sister.

"Gladys, this is my twin sister, Victoria No. Jericht, and this is my roommate, Gladyse Ranke. Before she finished speaking, Sophia couldn't help frowning, "Sister, your saliva is going to run down." ”

Victoria's appearance as a big bad wolf frightened Gretis directly behind Sophia's back, not even daring to show his head. Victoria, who heard Sophia's introduction, was suddenly stunned and asked in surprise: "You said her surname is Rank? Is she Professor Ranke's granddaughter?"

"It's Professor Ranke's daughter!" corrected Sophia.

"Eh—no, that dark, thin old man would have such a lovely daughter?"

With that, Victoria knew she had said the wrong thing. She quickly covered her mouth and carefully looked at the small handful of hair that Gladys showed behind Sophia. Although her behavior just now was already rude, it was not something that could be easily forgiven for talking about someone else's father.

"I, my father, isn't he dark and thin! He, he's just working too hard......"

Although Gladyse protested rarely, her voice was still very quiet, and even Sophia couldn't hear it clearly. Moreover, she still hid behind Sophia and did not dare to show her head.

"Sister, you're going too far!"

Sophia stared at Victoria sternly, and Victoria knew that she was wrong, and shrugged her head in front of Sophia, not daring to meet her sister's gaze. The appearance of the two of them, the identities seem to be reversed, in front of Victoria, Sophia's sister is majestic and obviously overwhelms her sister.

"Hurry up and apologize to people!"

Although Victoria is not very reliable at times, she still knows the importance in this situation. Under the gaze of her sister, she honestly walked up to Gladys, bowed down, and sincerely apologized to Gladys.

"I'm sorry, Gladys, I didn't mean to speak ill of your father. I didn't really want to do anything bad to you just now, I just thought you were too cute, forgive me!"

Looking at Victoria's face full of guilt and self-blame, Gladys didn't think she was terrible, after all, it was exactly the same face as Sophia, and a few more glances made Geatis feel a little intimate.

"No, it's okay, I forgive you. ”

Although she finally stopped being afraid and hid behind Sophia, and didn't even look at Victoria, Gladys's voice was still so small, and this cute appearance made Victoria's heart itch again.

However, although Sophia and Victoria have been separated for so many years, twins are twins after all, and she immediately saw her sister's thoughts, and preemptively dragged Victoria to the stool first, so as not to scare Gladys again.

Gladys was also pulled by Sophia to sit on the edge of the bed, and then she had a chance to take a good look at the sisters. Although they are exactly the same faces, the two people can tell at a glance, not only the relationship between hairstyles and clothes, but the temperament of the two people is already very different. Sophia is a real lady, like the lady in Gladys's impression, she has the demeanor of an aristocratic lady in every gesture, elegant and calm, elegant and dignified, and empathetic, while Victoria ...... Gladys was suspicious that she was actually a boy.

This was a puzzle for Gladys. Generally, twins are not only in appearance, because they have lived in the same environment since childhood, and often even their personalities will be very similar, if twins don't want others to tell them, then it is difficult for ordinary people to recognize who is who except for people who are close to their parents. And even if you can use different hairstyles and wear different clothes in order to separate each other, the difference will not be like Sophia and Victoria. It can be said that these twins, except for their looks, do not look alike in other places.

"Are you wondering why my sister and I are so different?"

Although she and Gladys have only been roommates for two days, Sophia can easily read Gladys's thoughts, after all, this petite girl is also very good-looking and understandable. She kept staring at Sophia and Victoria, but she didn't notice that Sophia, who was sitting next to her, was also quietly watching her.

Gladys, who was told what was in her heart, couldn't help but be shy again, her face flushed, she hung her head, and squeaked softly. And Victoria, who saw her like this, couldn't help but want to move, but was quickly glared at by Sophia with a stern gaze, and immediately became honest again.

"Actually, it's not surprising, my sister and I haven't been together since we were kids, and today is the first time we've seen each other since we can remember. ”

"Huh?" Gladys couldn't help but be taken aback, hearing Sophia's words, her mind quickly turned around with various thoughts, "Why?, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, I, I didn't mean to inquire about your family affairs......" Gladys, who felt that he was asking a little rudely, immediately lowered his head again.

"No, it's okay, it's no secret. It's a long time to talk about it, and it has to go back to before we were born, or even when our brother was born?"

Although Sophia said it didn't matter, Gladys always felt that it had a lot to do when she saw Victoria, who was embarrassed to twist her head away.

"Victoria's father and I, Viscount Ernest No. Jericho, my grandfather's only son, was a man of freedom and dreams, and he did not like the traditions that my grandfather adhered to, so he left behind his new wife, who was still pregnant with his brother, and ran to the imperial capital alone to make a name for himself. However, the elder brother's biological mother had a difficult birth during childbirth, and the grandfather, while grieving for his daughter-in-law, wanted his father to return to Midnight Fort to attend his wife's funeral. But his father refused, and he immediately married his mother. ”

Gladys couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, compared to the emperor who was accustomed to seeing wind and waves, the young girl would naturally be more touched when she heard this past. Victoria, who was just sitting on the side, was a little uncomfortable, and she could hear that Sophia's tone was biased towards Grandpa and Swain.

When my grandfather heard the news, he was so angry that he wanted to break off the father-son relationship with his father. However, after the mother gave birth to us, he still gave the father another chance for the sake of his granddaughter, and he gave the father his own choice, either to return to Midnight Castle, or to give his granddaughter to him to raise, so as to prevent the granddaughter from becoming the same person as the son, if the father rejected these two choices, then the father-son relationship was severed, and the grandfather would deprive the father of the inheritance. ”

Gladys quickly understood what was going on. "So, Mr. Viscount Jerichault chose to hand you over to Mr. Jerichault?" she still habitually referred to old Winston as Mr. Jerichault, and in her impression, Winston No. Jerichault was always the senior of the academic world, not the grandfather of his friend.

"Yes, my grandfather didn't know that my sister and I were twins, and he didn't know the truth until much later. Later, when my grandfather told me these things, he kept calling him a coward and a coward, and he was disappointed in him when he made this choice. He said that if his father chooses to come back, it will be a happy thing, and if he chooses to give up the inheritance, then although he will be very angry and completely cut off the father-son relationship with his son, he will still feel that his son is a responsible person, and he will be a Jericho for his own ideas. But the father chose to use his daughter to protect himself, and at that time, the grandfather did not intend to let the father inherit everything from him, but was ready to pin all his hopes on the elder brother. ”

After listening to Sophia, Gretis was also silent. Her mind gradually appeared as Viscount Jericho, similar to Swain's indifference, but not even Swain's gentleness towards his sister, who only cared about his own fame and status. She hadn't even met the Viscount Jericho before she had a very bad first impression of him.

However, although she thought so in her heart, she was not like Victoria who was open-mouthed, even if Sophia's words were vaguely disdain and contempt for her father, she could not say that her father was bad in front of her daughter, especially Miss Victoria's face was not very good at first glance.

"But it's a thing to celebrate when your sisters are finally reunited. ”

Hearing Gladys change the subject, Victoria's face improved a little. Although she didn't want to be as sensitive to these things as those noble ladies, Sophia hinted so clearly, how could she not hear it. This is clearly for her, maybe Sophia is not targeting her, but obviously, she wants to convey her attitude to her father through the mouth of her sister.

"yes, that's a cause for celebration. ”

Sophia looked at Victoria with a gentle smile, but Victoria couldn't feel her sister's kindness in the smile.

"Yes, it's worth celebrating. She could only smile reluctantly.

Gladys, who was observing the two sisters, could tell that there was still a hint of sadness in Victoria's reluctant smile. Although they are twin sisters, it seems that they are going to inevitably move towards different family positions. Gladys sighed secretly in her heart, although Victoria was so rude when they met, which scared her a lot, but in fact, she didn't hate her in her heart, and even felt that this girl was a little naïve and straightforward, she could say what she thought directly, and she would not hide it.

But there is another person who is like this, and he doesn't like to disguise himself and make expressions that he doesn't like. Gladys thought, Sven's face popping up in her mind's eye.
