"We received a letter from the capital," Leland looked up from his books when he heard Sophie's footsteps entering his study. A big smile was immediately etched on his face when he also heard small steps from eight chubby legs behind Sophie.
Anne and Jack were walking in a circle around their mother who had to really watch her steps so she wouldn't step on her children. They looked happy and full of energy.
As soon as Anne saw Leland's feet on the floor, she immediately charged forward and wrapped all her limbs on her father's right leg. Leland chuckled and lifted her to put her on his lap. The pup let out a happy growl and started licking his arm.
"What does it say?" Sophie asked. She didn't need to ask who the letter was from. A letter from the capital only meant one thing, it came from the palace or the king. She was wondering what did Nicholas say in his letter.
