Chương 253: Know that I've always loved you

"Didn't I mention that not all answers come to us immediately?" Sophia continued, her tone gentle yet firm. "Sometimes, the best course of action is to wait and endure, no matter how painful or difficult it may be. As Ragnar Clementine has shown us."

"You've shown remarkable strength, Lea. I'm truly proud of you." Her smile conveyed both warmth and admiration. "You may visit him."

"Your Majesty..." Lea began, her voice choked with emotion as tears streamed down her cheeks.

Sophia enveloped her in a comforting embrace, Anara nestled between them, her playful babbling adding a touch of innocence to the moment.

"Lea... Rast... Anra loves Rast... loves Lea..." Anara murmured softly, her words a soothing refrain. "Love!"

She gently released Lea from the embrace, a tender smile on her lips. "Don't you love your mama?" Sophia teased gently.

"Love Mama ..." Anara giggled, wrapping her tiny arms around Sophia.
