Bab 574: Sophia's Fate

Alaric brought Aleksis to his castle in Targu Mures and showed her the main building. This was the castle he built decades ago, and he had put his mother's grave here. Ten years ago, he brought the  fake Aleksis here and told all his secrets, which ended in him being shot and injured so badly that he only had a 1% chance of recovery.

He was very grateful that his foster children were very loyal and continued to care for him until Ned and Portia took over.

"I really like this place," Aleksis commented. "I like all your houses... I told you, your taste is better than mine when it comes to houses."

Alaric nodded. "I also like my mother's house in Yorkshire... I've never taken you there yet. The palace is very old-fashioned, but it's very beautiful."

Aleksis remembered that Sophia was Alaric's cousin on her mother's side. She wanted to know what Alaric's decision was regarding Sophia, as she always tried to do harm to them.
