The guards were respectful.

Sophia frowned slightly:

"I am an imperial nobleman. Even if I am a superior lord, I cannot restrain my actions at will, let alone the Rosen family is not the legal lord of Wells... Please get out of the way."

After saying that, she made a gesture to continue moving forward.

However, the next second, the spear in the guard's hand lies in front of the girl.

There was no expression on their faces, and although their tone was still respectful, there was a little bit of refusal in their respect:

"Miss Sophia, this is also for your safety. After all... from a legal perspective, the Wells family has also followed the Border Bo to rebel."

"Nonsense! Since I, as the first heir, stand here, proves Wells' loyalty. I want to meet the Duke. He knows the most about this!"

Sophia said a little angrily, and at the same time showed the power of the mage.

However, the two guards guarding the portal were not shaken at all.

Their aura was also released, and the powerful aura of the silver-level rank spread out, while their voices were still unwavering:

"Sorry, Miss Sophia, this is the order of Lord Duke, but... you just can't walk around at will. If you have any needs, you can tell us all and we will meet any of your needs."

"Then I want to walk outside and bask in the sun, can't I?"

The girl's voice turned cold.

"Sorry, you can't just walk around casually. If you want to bask in the sun, you can do it in front of the window. This room was specially selected by Scott. It has excellent lighting and can also bathe in the warm sunshine indoors."

The guard shook his head and replied.

"Then what's the difference between this and house arrest?! I'm not a prisoner of the Rosen family!"

Sophia said angrily.

After hearing her words, the guard hesitated for a moment, bowed slightly, and said firmly:

"Miss Sophia, please understand our difficulties. We are just carrying out the orders of Lord Duke."

Facing the resolute gazes of the guards, a trace of anger appeared in Sophia's eyes.

At this time, the dispute in front of the door finally attracted the manager of the Luosen family...

"What happened? It was noisy?"

He is the old housekeeper of the Duke's house, Baron Scott.

Looking at Baron Scott dressed in an old gentleman, Sophia calmed down her anger and said patiently:

"His Excellency Baron Scott, what does this mean? Why should I limit my personal freedom?"

Baron Scott showed a kind smile and then said with apologies:

"Sorry, Miss Sophia, this is also the Duke who considers your safety. After all...there are many nobles who have escaped from the Maple Leaf Corps these days, and many of them are spies from the border lords. The Duke also needs to consider the safety of all parties..."

"I'm not a spy!"

Sophia said angrily.

"I know, of course you are not a spy, you are a noble of the empire. This is also confirmed and confirmed by the Duke, but you must also understand that it was during the war recently, and your identity was still too sensitive after all. Even if the Duke doesn't care, many nobles in the Western Territory will discuss this kind of thing behind their backs..."

"After all, Lord Duke is not the lord of the Western Territory. He is just stationed here to command the army. All kinds of supplies still need the help of local nobles to raise them, so... please understand."

Baron Scott explained gently.

After saying that, he smiled slightly:

"Of course, this time will not be too long. When the material raising of our army is over, the Duke will naturally relax the restrictions on you. At that time... maybe you will be invited to serve as the honorary commander of our army and give a speech at the oath party."

Hearing this, Sophia fell into silence.

She looked at the gentle old housekeeper, then at the expressionless guard, and asked with a frown:

"So, how long do I have to wait here?"

"It won't be too long, it will take three or two days, and at most it won't exceed one week."

Baron Scott answered respectfully.

"A week? Do I need to be locked up in this room for a week? Do you know how many changes will happen in the Maple Leaf Collar in a week?! I want to meet the Duke, and I want to tell him personally!"

The girl said angrily.

"You have been worried about it. The Border Bo is strong and powerful. Especially after the magic power of the mainland has rebounded, the power of the entire Maple Leaf Leader has a qualitative leap, and the Border Bo himself is even more suspected to have broken through the legend, so... this war needs long-term planning."

"It only takes one week and has no impact on the situation. The Duke speculated that this rebellion...it may take three months to half a year."

Baron Scott said to the girl while shook his head.

Looking at the old housekeeper's firm attitude, Sophia suddenly felt a sense of fatigue in her heart.

She sighed:

"I got it, I will endure it for a few more days."

"It's good that you can understand. I will send more maids to take care of you and meet your needs."

Baron Scott smiled with relief.

Unsuccessful request to go out, Sophia had to continue back to the room.

After a while, several respectful maids were sent by the baron to take care of the girl.

However, looking at the maid of the Luosen family, Sophia was a little excited.

She was a little simple, but she was not stupid. In addition to taking care of herself, I'm afraid these maids also mean to monitor themselves.

No matter how Baron Scott explains, there is no doubt that she is indeed under house arrest by Rosen's family.

At this time, the girl also felt a little regretful of her decision. She didn't know if she came to ask for help...

However, thinking of the promise made by Duke Rosen and the long history of the Rosen family, Sophia felt that such a famous family should not break its promise. After all,... for these ancient nobles, the most important thing is reputation.

And relying on this only belief, although I was anxious and dissatisfied, Sophia finally stayed in the room patiently.

...

In the next few days, Sophia still couldn't leave this empty house.

Not only that, the girl keenly noticed that after she got angry for the first time, the guard power outside the room was greatly strengthened.

Even in the garden outside the window, the guards inspected several times.

"Are you so worried that I will escape..."

A trace of ridicule appeared in the girl's heart.

She was indignant, but she could do nothing.

Before we knew it, five days passed like this.

In five days, Sophia failed to step out of the room and was almost isolated from the outside world.

She had asked the guards and maids about the outside news, but they didn't know after asking questions. I didn't know if they didn't want to talk too much to the girl, or they didn't know at all.

Not only that, even Baron Scott, the old butler of the Duke's house, did not appear again after meeting Sophia on the first day.

This made the girl feel like she was a forgotten prisoner.

Of course, it is impossible to be forgotten, and even the Luosen family must attach great importance to her.

Because four days later, the guards guarding the room doubled, not only that... I don't know if it was Sophia's illusion, but it seemed that the guards and maids were becoming more and more respectful to her.

And after the sixth day, the girl finally ushered in a different face.

It was a lady dressed in a nobleman who looked thirty or forty years old. She was wearing a fashionable women's mink coat and accompanied by more than a dozen maids to Sophia's room.

"You are Miss Sophia, right? You are such a beautiful woman! No wonder the Duke favors you..."

"I am Viscountess Abraham, and the Duke please ask me to help you pick up the dresses for dinner."

She said enthusiastically.

"Dinner? Dress?"

Looking at the row of maids holding dresses, Sophia was slightly stunned.

"Yes, yes, you are the protagonist of the banquet tonight! What color do you like? Blue? Red? Purple? I see your appearance as elegant as an elf. Perhaps the pure white that the elves like is more suitable for you..."

Viscountess Abraham said enthusiastically, while calling the maid to change Sophia.

Sophia was not happy with Viscountess' flattery, but instead, her attention was completely attracted by the banquet.

"I am the protagonist of the banquet? Are the army finally ready to set off?"

Sophia asked with some anticipation.

"The army sets off?"

A trace of confusion flashed across the Viscountess' face.

"Isn't it a vow to have a feast?"

The girl was slightly stunned.
