Miss Star, spoiled by her father and brother

Chapter 412 Royal Family Banquet

In the back hall of the palace, maids placed dishes on the dining table in a continuous stream.

A woman in elegant clothes kept giving orders: "Put the stewed venison over here, and the Japanese flower in ice leaves over here, too. Your Majesty loves it these days. Put the black fragrant pork over there, and move the butter crab a little further over there..."

There were already three people seated at the table, a boy of about seventeen or eighteen with short chestnut brown hair and a somewhat rebellious temperament; a girl of about fifteen or sixteen, whose facial features were somewhat similar to those of a woman; and another was also a girl, but much younger, about seven or eight years old.

The three of them were all surfing the Star Network out of boredom.

Hearing the footsteps, Secunder looked up. When he saw the person coming, he let out a breath of displeasure, rolled his eyes and looked away.

"Hello, mother, brothers and sisters." Fast put one hand behind his back and greeted them with a smile.

The Queen said kindly, "Now that you are here, please sit down first. Where is Sophia? Isn't she with you?"

"My sister went out for something today." Fast pulled out the chair to the right of the main seat and sat down. The maid immediately brought a hot towel to clean his hands.

"Really? Did she go to meet friends or...?"

"I don't know. You can ask her when she comes."

The queen touched her hair and said, "Don't blame your mother for being nosy. Sophia is old enough for marriage. But no one likes this child. Your father and I worry about her every day."

"It's inevitable that I have concerns. I'm worried that she might have a friend who's talking to her privately, but her status is not appropriate, so she doesn't dare to tell us."

The queen lowered her head, resting one hand on the back of the chair, her brows furrowed.

The 15-year-old daughter was immersed in the Internet and said without looking up: "Why do you care what she does? She is not in a hurry."

"Tasha!"

Fast interrupted the queen's rebuke, "It's natural for mother to care about us, but as far as I know, my sister doesn't have any close friends of the opposite sex."

The queen looked relieved and smiled kindly, "That's good. Sophia is too innocent. I always worry that she will be deceived."

After a while, the protagonist and emperor they were talking about, Odo II, walked into the restaurant.

When the whole family arrived, dinner officially began.

Odu II sat at the head of the table, with his eldest son Fast and eldest daughter Sofia on his right, and the queen and youngest son Sekende on his left. His two daughters, Tasha and Mansha, sat at the back of the table facing each other.

"Let's start eating." Odu II was the first to pick up a piece of food with chopsticks, and everyone else started eating as well.

Sophia glanced at the dishes in front of her. There was nothing wrong with the chicken, duck, fish and meat. But a closer look revealed that they were all common dishes, without any difficulty or novelty.

Look at the younger brothers and sisters, there are butter crabs shipped from the planet Mengmed, black-haired black pigs that are a specialty of the planet Peijis, and snow-coated milk cakes that took a lot of time and effort to make.

To say it was just a coincidence was a bit too much of a coincidence. But she had gotten used to it over the years. It was not impossible for her to cook a few bites of food in her own small kitchen, but she felt ashamed of such a small thought.

While eating, Odu II asked about the study and life of his children. He first asked about his youngest son, Secunder.

“Can you keep up with the training?”

Secunder swallowed the food in his mouth, "Of course! It's a piece of cake for me!"

Odu II nodded in satisfaction: "Well, don't be proud. Whenever you encounter problems, ask your elder brother for advice."

"That's right, brothers should support each other. Your eldest brother is so much older than you, and he is also the president of the school's student union. You should follow your eldest brother's example."

Secunder's proud look drooped and he spoke reluctantly.

"What about Tasha? Have you made any new friends in college?"

The girl looked much more obedient than before. "Well, one is the daughter of the Secretary General of the Political Department, and the other is the daughter of the President of the A3 Branch of the Imperial Bank."

The School of Arts at Dawn University was populated by children of noble families, so Odu II was not surprised at all. He just still reminded his daughter to be gentle, modest and polite to others.

Finally, when talking about his eldest son, Odu II's expression became more relaxed. "Your dean praised you to me today, saying that you organized the welcome party and club activities very well, and you didn't fall behind in your classes."

Fast smiled slightly: "I do these things every year, and I am already very familiar with them. Compared with the tasks that my father has entrusted to me, this is nothing."

He had been involved in the affairs of the empire since he was eighteen, and it had been two years now. At first, he only dealt with some minor matters, but later, Emperor Odu II gradually let go and gave him more important tasks.

He could feel that his father was intentionally training him. Until this year, when his younger brother turned 18, he began to receive the same treatment as him.

Fast cannot be without a sense of crisis.

He didn't understand why. Wasn't one heir enough? Wasn't he good enough?

Secunder followed an almost identical path. Could it be that my father wanted to see the two of them compete so that he could choose the best crown prince to succeed him?

He won't lose.

Odu II praised him with satisfaction and then stopped talking. It was his principle not to discuss state affairs in private.

"Father, our class held a baseline test after the school started. The teacher thought I danced the best and asked me to be the lead dancer. Is there any reward?" Tasha asked coquettishly.

"what do you want?"

"I want a new tutu skirt. The one with the diamond on it has been ticked off. It looks ugly."

"It's that simple?"

"Of course not! I want Heidi's personal costume designer to do it! She doesn't take outside jobs, please, father~~~" Tasha got down from the chair, ran to Odu II, hugged one of his arms and shook him.

"Hahahaha! Okay, okay, stop shaking. Father will help you, but I can't control whether others give me face or not."

Tasha kissed him excitedly, "She will definitely agree! Thank you, Father!!!"

"Your father is already busy enough, and you are causing him more trouble..." The Queen looked at the scene with a smile on her face. There was no blame in her tone, but rather a doting tone.

The family looks harmonious and warm.

Only Sophia felt the pain. She felt like she was sitting on pins and needles every second she was here.

Finally, dinner was over. She remained decent and said goodbye to everyone gracefully, without any sign of abnormality.

It was not until she and Fast returned to the palace where they lived that the corners of her mouth fell, and her whole body was filled with the unique dampness of rainy weather.

Unfortunately, Fast didn't see it.

"Why didn't you reply to my message?" he asked in a not-too-polite tone.

"I was in the car, I fell asleep and didn't see it." Sophia's tone was flat without any fluctuation.

Fast paused, accepted this explanation, and began to get to the point: "Give me Selvie's contact information."

After receiving it, he raised the corners of his mouth and asked happily: "What did you talk about today? Tell me in detail."

……

Ten minutes later, Fast left satisfied.

That night, Sophia did not sleep. She went to the temple in the palace and knelt in front of the golden statue of the glorious goddess for the whole night.
