Runemaster in the Last Days

Chapter 1123 1126: Stephen and Sophia

Sophia didn't know which one she should trust.

Emotionally, she naturally wanted to believe that they were fine right now and that they were still fighting against those magic beasts somewhere far away.

But rationally...

She felt that the chance was slim.

"I really don't want them to die," Sophia murmured as she rubbed Melly's large body tightly.

*whimper*

Melly could naturally sense Sophia's sadness and the dog raised her head, nudging Sophia tenderly, trying to make her feel better.

Sophia pursed her lips and buried her head inside Melly's fur, trying to seek comfort from her best furry friend.

"I don't believe that they have died either," Stephen said unhurriedly. "That stubborn guy will definitely not die so easily."

Stubborn guy Samuel: "..."

If Samuel were to know what Stephen said about him, he would have long rolled his eyes and even landed a punch on Stephen's face.

Unfortunately, he was not here.

"Stubborn guy." Sophia pursed her lips and rubbed Melly's fur once again, sighing deeply. She really didn't think that it would be possible for Riya to die so easily either, but she couldn't help but think in that direction.

Because Riya seemed to know what would happen and made a lot of arrangement for them before she left.

It was as if she knew that she wouldn't be able to come back.

How could Sophia accept it so easily?

She cried.

Because Sophia really didn't know what else she could do aside from crying.

Right now, Sophia felt that she was really weak and even after venturing outside for a long time, Sophia couldn't change this weakness in the slightest bit.

As the young miss of the Carson Family, Sophia could be said to be living a privileged life for almost her entire life. Even though her own status was not exactly high, but every member of the Carson Family would not have any problem with their basic necessities and many other things.

Besides, if they wanted something, their parents would try their best to give it to them as much as possible.

Sophia and Stephen's parents were not an exception.

They would try their best to fulfill their children's wishes and let them have a carefree childhood as much as possible.

Because they knew very well that acting spoiled is a privilege that only pampered children could have. And when they passed by their golden age, it would not be so easy for them to act so spoiled like this anymore.

Their parents hoped that they could have a carefree life.

But they also knew that it was an impossible dream.

Being born and raised in the Carson Family meant that sooner or later, they would have to be involved with the Carson Family's schemes and all.

Sophia was luckier.

But Stephen, with his talent, was eventually noticed and nurtured carefully. Even though he tried his best to hide his care for his sister, the keen Old Master Carson still noticed it and used Sophia to make sure Stephen would do his best for the family.

As much as Stephen would like to stay far away from the Carson Family, he knew very well that it would be impossible.

So he simply worked harder and made sure that he could protect his sister.

Sophia herself was living a protected and pampered life under her father and brother's protection.

This lasted for a long time.

And when the conflict between Stephen and his grandfather finally erupted, he chose to take a step back and left City A Base.

The reason?

Because Stephen wanted to see a wider world with his sister instead of staying confined in City A Base.

"City A Base is indeed the best city base in Continent Z, but I want to see the world with my own eyes and not rely on my friends too much," Stephen said this to Sophia back then and Sophia agreed.

Because Sophia herself could sense that she was relying too much on Riya and Amelia, making her almost completely dependent on these two people.

Even though there didn't seem to be anything wrong...

But Sophia hoped that she could stand on her own and also got stronger instead of being protected all the time.

Well, her own talent was not that good.

And it was also true that Sophia disliked fighting.

So her goal was to raise a lot of powerful magic beasts so that they could protect her and fight for her.

Of course, Sophia would make sure to protect them well as much as possible. Because she loved her pets so much and didn't really want to see them got hurt.

The year when Sophia and Stephen were outside, they had also grown much stronger.

While Stephen still didn't let Sophia got in touch with some things that were too dirty in his eyes, Sophia still learned many things about the outside world. This made her understand that she was really lucky to have a higher starting points.

Be it her background family or when the world had just started to change and she has close relationship with Riya and Amelia.

Because it was these two people who basically let her life become much more comfortable.

Otherwise, Sophia couldn't really imagine how it would be.

Perhaps... she would stay confined in the Carson Family and unable to extricate herself until the very end.

It would be too miserable in Sophia's opinion.

So she was grateful for these two people.

And she once vowed that she would become a powerful beast master and eventually repay Riya for her kindness that she had shown to her. The path of a beast master was not very popular because it consumed a lot of resources, but some people who have no talents still chose to try it.

For those who were rich, it was nothing.

For those who were poorer... they were basically tightening their belts.

But...

How should she repay her kindness when Riya left on her own without giving her the chance?
