In the Name of Empress-Chapter 570 - 343: A Letter Home

"Is this a family letter?"

Sofia looked at the letter paper with suddenly appearing handwriting, overwhelmed with emotions.

No magic tool would appear without reason, and the paper Roland used was also a divine artifact.

Assisting divine artifact [Endless Letter].

No matter how many times it’s used, the core of the divine artifact allows the letter to restore itself in place.

Moreover, the content of the letter can connect with each other in a short time.

The Endless Letter is a very romantic divine artifact.

No matter how far apart, even in the depths of the sea or the sky, as long as words are written on the letter, the other side can quickly know.

For lovers in love, this is a true divine artifact.

Besides being used for romance, the Endless Letter is also an assisting divine artifact that allows communication over vast distances, delivering information.

The battlefield situation changes quickly, and the distance between the front-line commander and the rear base is often thousands of miles, making communication very difficult.

With this Endless Letter, confidence can cross mountains and seas.

This divine artifact has no direct combat power and seems inconspicuous, yet it is highly functional.

However, this divine artifact was long buried and never used.

This was part of Sofia’s dowry when she left her family; at the time, the family didn’t know it was a divine artifact, so it was treated as a magic tool.

Although there was no affection between her and her husband Ivan IV, as it was purely a political marriage, Sofia still shared the divine artifact with her husband.

But she hid the divine nature of the Endless Letter, only saying that it could be used to contact anytime.

Sofia’s goodwill was met with Ivan IV’s indifferent disregard.

The Endless Letter was buried at the bottom of the bookshelf, never used.

After Sofia left the Winter Palace, she gradually forgot about this divine artifact, until Roland wrote on the other side of the letter for her to notice it.

She originally didn’t want to pry into Roland’s family letters, but...

She had to know if Roland had any ill intent.

Although she believed that Roland would not be shortsighted, she couldn’t resist picking up the letter.

Curiosity is human nature.

In her subconscious, Roland would eagerly express his longing to Sif, maybe even complain about not being used to life at Saint Rurik Palace.

Yet this family letter had none of that content.

Roland calmly reassured Sif of his well-being, and then described the work and life over here.

The leader (Sofia) was not too enthusiastic but still cared for him, arranging the best living place.

Colleagues (Sahalin, Angelina) were very reliable, and although the work here had some difficulties, they were not substantial and could be resolved.

Sofia looked at the letter, almost suspecting she was seeing things.

She closed her eyes, opened them again, and the content hadn’t changed a bit.

She seemed to see a minor language highly similar to Sussex.

After a moment of astonishment, she understood the letter.

The highest level of reassurance isn’t "I’m all good here", but "although it’s not as good as home, the conditions are decent, can score eighty out of a hundred".

Slight embellishment built on objective facts to maintain peace.

So that’s it, Sofia thought with a sudden realization.

A well-calculated decoration that wouldn’t make Sif too worried, yet wouldn’t be overly embellished to be seen through by Sif.

Is this the way normal couples get along?

Sofia’s gaze was somewhat vacant, her thoughts drifting far away.

After who knows how long, she smiled and shook her head, no longer seeking trouble for herself.

Even gods can’t be omniscient or omnipotent, why should she be entangled?

Somehow, Sofia thought of the former Light Sister, now the Goddess of Light, Tiya.

She used to be Poseidon’s lover, yet she stabbed Poseidon fiercely.

Before she fell asleep, besides the four goddess candidates, Sea Emperor Poseidon also qualified to ascend to the divine domain.

Poseidon’s rank was even higher than the three goddesses and hers, with boundless potential.

His love story with Tiya was once a romantic tale.

However, after Sofia awoke from her winter sleep, the three goddesses ascended to the divine domain, closing the passage, while leaving a backdoor return path.

They had calculated everything clearly.

Sofia initially thought the missing Poseidon had also colluded with them, intentionally isolating her, leaving one less person to share the fruits.

Later, when she made a fuss on the seafloor, she discovered that various ocean races were mourning Poseidon.

She finally understood he was also a victim.

Pushed off the pedestal, losing his ocean energy core, Poseidon eternally lost the chance of ascension to divinity.

These past stories left Sofia’s mood somewhat downcast.

After all, she was not a god; she still had a mortal’s joys and sorrows, unable to perfectly control emotions.

To soothe her feelings, she continued to open Roland’s family letter.

Bitter pasts made one sorrowful; a little sweet candy to balance it out is reasonable.

Roland wrote every word very plainly, somewhat like an account book, lacking the brilliance of a writing contest champion, yet to Sofia, plain is the best writing.

No words of love between the lines, yet emotions were poured within.

Sif is truly fortunate to have such a devoted love.

Sofia sighed lightly in her heart, a bit melancholic.

Roland racked his brains to make Sif feel at ease, even carefully considering how much to embellish, Sif she...

She must know too.

Sofia soon came to terms; Roland understood Sif, so how could Sif not understand him?

She undoubtedly knew this was a reassurance letter, also knowing Roland feared she’d worry, so how would she respond to Roland? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Sofia’s curiosity was ignited, then quickly extinguished.

Of course, Sif couldn’t reply on the letter’s written side; Sofia was destined not to see her reply.
