Because the crown prince’s return could bring many things back on track, the next day, the royal family officially announced the king’s death. The people came to the palace to mourn.

The old king had always worked hard for the happiness of the people, seeking the greatest benefits for the people. This was also the reason why the royal family was so popular despite being rotten.

Sophie teared up as she looked at the people holding candles and flowers at the entrance of the palace. “Grandfather has always been in everyone’s hearts.”

Jiang An walked to her side. “Even if the existence of the royal family is not a good thing for Country F, everyone has seen the contribution of the old king. He is indeed worthy of the title of a great person.”

“To me, my grandfather was not only my family, but also my teacher,” Sophie said nostalgically.

Sophie had been sent to her maternal grandfather since she was a child and had very little time with her parents. The two of them did not want to raise children because they were at odds and were always arguing.

Annie thought that since that was the case, she might as well send the child to her father’s side to please him and save herself the trouble of taking care of her.

Sophie had received little family love since she was a child, was introverted, and was always alone with her maternal grandfather.

Seeing her like this, the other children in the palace naturally had bad intentions and would bully her from time to time.

Sophie knew she didn’t have her parents to back her up, so she swallowed her pride.

When the old king found out about this, he brought Sophie to his side and took care of her. Every day, he would take time to accompany his granddaughter.

“Sophie, don’t ever think about who you can rely on. Even your parents have times when they can’t help you. You must become your own support,” the old king taught her.

The little Sophie remembered this sentence. When she encountered those who bullied her again, her first reaction was to fight back.

Even if she did not have her parents backing her up, she was still the princess of this country. She did not have to endure things that she should not.

Sophie then realized that others stopped bullying her, and understood that she was not to be trifled with, instead giving her the respect she deserved.

It was then that Sophie began to tire of everything about the royal family and find the people here annoying.

After hearing Sophie’s words, Jiang An sighed. “You’re lucky to have such a grandfather. If I had someone to teach me that when I was young, I wouldn’t have listened to others and let them take advantage of me. Perhaps I would have been free earlier.”

Sophie held her hand. “But you’re already very good now. It’s because of you that I can reach where I am today and the people of Country F have a future.”

Even if the old king was a very good person, it could not change the disadvantage of the royal family having real power. No one could guarantee that the next king would still be a good person.

Jiang An looked at Sophie. “The future of the people is in your hands. Your path ahead will be difficult.”

“I know.” Sophie raised her head. “But I’m not afraid at all. What I’m going to do is for everyone. This country will come back to life.”

Sophie wore a plain long dress without any jewelry, but in Jiang An’s eyes, she was more like a queen than ever.

The people crowded around the entrance of the palace, wanting to confirm the king’s death again. The crown prince led Sophie out.

“It’s the crown prince!” someone exclaimed. Everyone lowered their heads and bowed.

This gave them peace of mind. If the king really passed away, there would be no chaos with the crown prince around.

“The king is dead. There will be an official funeral tomorrow,” the crown prince said.

Some of the people couldn’t control their cries. They grieved from the bottom of their hearts.

The crown prince moved aside to let Sophie in front of him. “Sophie will inherit the throne and become queen. There will be a coronation ceremony after the funeral.”

The shock of this news was so great that the people did not understand why the crown prince would cede the throne to Sophie.

However, out of respect for the royal family, no one asked anything.

The crown prince sighed and said, “After I left, in order to fight for the throne, important members of the royal family suppressed the news of the king’s death. They even used the king’s substitute to attend events in his place to fabricate the illusion that the king was still alive. There were even people who contacted foreign forces. These are all harmful to the kingdom.”

“Only Sophie still cares about the country and traveled between the countries for the sake of Country F. No one is qualified to inherit the throne except her.”

The crown prince did not hide the truth. After all, the royal family would be overthrown in the end. It was not a big deal to lose some face now. As long as Sophie could obtain more support, it was fine.

Moreover, it would be more credible for her to explain these things. It would be useless if someone else tried to explain them on her behalf.
