Bluebird Lady and The White Lion Family Chapter 9

 

 

Sophina pulled the rope and called the maids.

 

They showed up in a hurry.

 

Perhaps because they were caught gossiping about Sophina earlier, they couldn’t even make eye contact.

 

They seemed to be hiding something.

 

But looking at the maids, I felt like I was forgetting something.

 

‘What was it? No. Let’s do what we were going to do first.’

 

Sophina nodded, and pointed to her white dress neatly placed in the corner of the room.

 

“My dress. Could you guys take care of it before the wedding?”

 

Sophina spoke in a gentle tone.

 

“And the decorations here are a little wobbly, please mend it a little.”

 

The maids who heard the command quietly bowed their heads.

 

“All right, Lady Sophina.”

 

They got caught…

 

Even if I had other dreams, there was a high chance that they would move according to plan because an easy path was made.

 

Anyway, thanks to my mother buying a lot of this and that, there were a lot of extra dresses.

 

I was going to move the ones I liked so that the maids couldn’t touch them.

 

I didn’t care if they cut my clothes in pieces or cut them in plain sight.

 

“Go now.”

 

Sophina, who let the maids out, hung weakly on the bed.

 

‘But, why am I so sleepy…?’

 

Maybe because I was stressed or because I used my abilities, I felt tired.

 

She wasn’t even humanized enough…

 

‘Still, it’s more effective to be in an animal form to recover strength.’

 

White clouds spread and a bluebird popped out.

 

Sophina, who became a bluebird, yawned until her mouth was torn open.

 

“Twii…”

 

Dinner time with my mother would be in an hour.

 

I thought it would be better to take a nap for a while.

 

The bluebird fell asleep with colorful breath. No one could know what’s going to happen in the evening.

 

 

* * *

 

Evening where Sophina and her mother had always spent time together.

 

Another neat tableware was placed on the table.

 

The owner was Ricardo Chadwick, the young heir to the lions who returned from the dispute.

 

Khan hinted at Ricardo.

 

“You said you’d come tomorrow, but you got there sooner than I thought.”

 

“Yes, I finished work early.”

 

Ricardo also answered briefly in a polite tone.

 

“Didn’t you just want to see your bride sooner?”

 

Khan raised an eyebrow and scanned his son’s face gently.

 

To come to the mansion alone first, beating out the knights that came with her son, who’s arrogant in everything.

 

‘It must be true that there’s a relationship between him and my daughter-in-law.’

 

Ricardo, pretending not to know Khan’s inner thoughts, looked down…

 

Ricardo’s blue eyes that were hidden behind his dancing eyelashes were shimmering strangely.

 

A laugh flowed from Khan’s lips.

 

Soon she turned the subject around, moistening her throat with water.

 

“You’re late.”

 

Khan was planning to introduce her son to Sophina.

 

Shouldn’t we talk to each other and then enter the dining room?

 

To be honest, I set the wedding date so early that I couldn’t miss it or miss it.

In fact, I set the wedding date very early so that it is impossible to say that.

 

Ricardo, who had been silent, opened his mouth with a warm smile to hide his boredom.

 

“I’ll get her.”

 

“No.”

 

Khan flatly refused.

 

“I’m going.”

 

After Khan had finished speaking, she hurriedly kicked off her chair and got up.

 

It was very cute for her son to take care of her daughter-in-law already, but for some reason she strangely hated to follow his will.

 

Besides, isn’t there such a thing as his willingness?

 

The boy, who was left alone, was forced to smooth his lukewarm ears.

 

Meanwhile, Khan politely knocked on the door of the room where Sophina was staying.

 

‘But I couldn’t hear anything.’

 

She used the sensitive lion’s five senses.

 

The signs of my daughter-in-law were felt.

 

‘I’m sure she’s in the room.’

 

Khan murmured anxiously into her mind.

 

Without hesitation, she turned the doorknob.

 

Soon after, I looked carefully around Sophina’s room.

 

On the soft bed, I could see a bluebird stretched out.

 

Khan narrowed her brows with a serious expression.

 

“Is she dead?”

 

Snoring–

 

As soon as she said those words, the bluebird’s sleeping sounds rang in the room.

 

Khan chuckled and swept her chest.

 

“No, she’s not.”

 

She carefully shook the blue chest of the bluebird going up and down.

 

“Wake up, daughter-in-law.”

 

“Twit…”

 

Sophina tossed around and flicked her mother’s finger away with her wings.

 

She seemed to be completely wandering in the dreamland.

 

Khan chimed like a mother waking her daughter-in-law to school with her blunt voice.

 

“You have to eat. Let’s have a bite.”

 

Mom, ten more minutes…

 

Spena tossed and turned to the opposite side.

 

“There’s nothing I can do. Shapeshifters need the energy from food.”

 

It seemed that she was not in a state where her daughter-in-law could humanize.

 

Khan grabbed her wings and dragged them out.

 

Half-awake, Sophina was dragged helplessly and settled on her mother’s palm.

 

Eventually, she was transported to the dining room.

 

“A cotton ball…?”

 

The sight of a tiny bluebird dozing off on the palm of Khan’s hand made Ricardo blur the end of what he thought it was at first glance.

 

Meanwhile, Sophina was seated in a baby chair.

 

It was too big for the bluebird, and she was seated on the table where the baby food was placed.

 

She dozed off with her butt attached to the table and her legs stretched out.

 

It seemed like she was going to fall backwards, but she managed to maintain balance.

 

Rikador’s eyes lit up as he watched silently.

 

“It’s smaller than I thought.”

 

I’ve seen it in my dreams before.

 

Was it like that a while ago?

 

I thought the signs were weird these past few days, but I really didn’t expect to meet the bluebird of that time.

 

When I felt the familiar energy on the tree I climbed to take a nap, I was happy to see it.

 

Because there was something I wanted to find out from the bluebird.

 

Unknowingly, he supported the back of Sophina’s head with his fingers.

 

The softness of the bluebird wasn’t bad. Ricador’s eyes widened for an instant.

 

At that moment, the bluebird slowly blinked its eyes.

 

Sophina’s blurry vision soon regained focus.

 

She saw someone’s bright face.

 

Straight silver-gray eyebrows, sharp nose, and pale skin that hasn’t lost baby fat yet.

 

He really looked like an angel.

 

‘But why does he look familiar?’

 

The boy’s blue eyes contained the blue bird, Sophina.

 

He made eye contact with her to the end and casually swept his white hair back.

 

This was exactly the same as the male lead’s face I saw in the portrait, right?

 

“Tweet…!”

 

Surprised, Sophina let out a loud cry.

 

“Are you asking me to introduce myself?”

 

 

Ricardo misunderstood her cry. And then gave his name in a chic manner.

 

“Ricardo Chadwick.”

 

It’s really the male lead?

 

Like a clear musical instrument, even his voice was familiar to the ears.

 

Sophina suddenly realized

 

The fact that the male lead was the same self-harm blackmailer that she met earlier.

 

But there was one strange thing.

 

‘What, I thought you would return tomorrow?’

 

My mother clearly said that, so I promised myself that I would be fully prepared tomorrow.

 

Sophina wondered, staring alternately between Ricardo and Khan.

 

Khan, who quickly recognized the meaning of the gaze, kindly explained the whole story.

 

“Ah, Ricardo arrived a little early, so I made a seat today for him today. Are you surprised, daughter-in-law?”

 

“Twit, twit twit…!”

 

A little bit?

 

The tail feathers of the bluebird went down weakly.

 

Now that I understand the situation, I’m suddenly worried.

 

The goal not to get involved in any way seemed to have shattered from the very beginning.

 

I think the first meeting was pretty intense.

 

‘We’re going to be able to live as a couple for show if I’m blunt right now.’

 

Spena sneaked away and pretended not to know.

 

Then Ricador put his insensibly smug face.

 

“You don’t even know the name of your husband, do you?”

 

“Twit!”

 

‘Oh my.’

 

Sophina shuddered and let out a new cry.

 

He interpreted the sound asking for a greeting, and he reached out as if to shake hands with her.

 

Sophina just stared blankly and tilted her head.

 

Then, Ricardo urged Sophina as if he were treating a dog.

 

“Hand.”

 

Am I a dog?

 

‘Come on‘, Sophina put her foot on Ricardo’s palm who misunderstood.

 

She stared at himself for some ridiculous reason. Was it too obvious?

 

No matter how much I want to be like a cow or a chicken, I’ll be in trouble if I looked ugly.

 

Sophina looked around innocently as if she didn’t know anything.

 

From the beak of the bird came the sound of, ‘Twit‘.

 

Ricador looked at Sophina intently.

 

Eyes were glued in the air.

 

But…

 

‘Why aren’t you avoiding me?’

 

As they continued to stare at each other without saying anything, he licked his lips softly.

 

“Do birds greet with their feet?”

 

Well, that’s not true.

 

‘Pfft‘, there was a sound of laughter could be heard from somewhere.

 

Mother gently opened her mouth, waving a glass filled with wine.

 

“Son, she just don’t seem to like you?”

 

Ricardo’s brows narrowed slightly when he heard the provocation.

 

Sophina quietly responded to her mother’s story.

 

‘Honestly, I don’t want to be close with the male lead.’

 

I have to work hard.

 

Then, her mother reached out gracefully.

 

“Daughter-in-law, come here.”

 

Since we roughly greeted each other, shouldn’t we eat?

 

Khan also wanted to know how her son would react when her daughter-in-law was in her arms.

 

Sophina, not aware of Khan’s rather mischievous heart, flew away and landed on her open palm.

 

Khan brought a plate of berries and said with great solemnity.

 

“It’s time to eat.”
