章 57: Eliana and Sophie: A Sister's Bond

The tension in the room dissipated as Eliana's laughter filled the air. Sebastian, though clearly flustered by Sophie's outburst, couldn't help but crack a smile. The sight of the mighty Demon God at a loss for words around a child was indeed a rare and amusing spectacle.

"Perhaps we should let Sophie settle in a bit more before overwhelming her with our presence," Eliana suggested, her voice gentle. "Lydia, could you please show Sophie to her room and help her freshen up?"

Lydia nodded, her smile warm and reassuring. "Of course, my lady," she replied, extending a hand towards Sophie. "Come along, dear. Let's get you settled."

Sophie, still sniffling, hesitantly took Lydia's hand and allowed herself to be led away. As they disappeared down the hallway, Eliana turned to Sebastian, her expression a mix of amusement and concern.

"I didn't expect her to react that way," she admitted, her voice soft. "I hope I didn't make things worse."
