After bringing Sophie Kenwick to check out her room, Xyla Quest drove away from the house with the girl in her red Maserati.
A large entourage of luxury cars followed after them as security detail, attracting a lot of attention on the road.
Xyla’s sports car moved forward rapidly.
It was something wonderful that Sophie had never experienced before. Although she had seen such cars while her soul had been wandering, she had never physically been inside of a fast car... until now.
She liked it very much.
It moved much faster than horse carriages used in the past.
People in this era were indeed lucky.
Xyla drove with one hand while she twirled her long black, curly hair with the other.
She then looked at Sophie with a smile. “Sophie, what do you think? Do you like this feeling?”
Sophie nodded. “Yes, I do like sports cars. Did you know that I enjoyed exciting experiences like this back when I lived in the palace too?
"Father and I used to go on horse races, and I rode extremely fast each time that even he lost to me. At the time, I thought my horse was the fastest thing in the world.
“I didn’t expect something faster than horses would appear in this world after so many years.
“A lot has changed in this world,” Sophie quipped thoughtfully.
Xyla listened attentively with a gentle smile on her face. “Yes, that’s true. I’ll help you get used to all this real soon and let you experience the world we live in today.
“Sophie, I can protect you in this world too… just let me know if you need anything at all,” she added.
This was Xyla’s favorite makeup studio.
“We’re here so that the owner can give you a fresh look, that will make you look even better. What do you think?” Xyla asked.
Sophie seemed excited. “Okay.”
She quickly glanced at her current outfit, still feeling exposed after being given a pair of long boots. Although it was very fashionable, she still wasn’t used to it as most of her thighs were still on display.
It was hardly presentable.
However, since Xyla liked the way she looked, she didn’t feel compelled to argue.
She obediently followed Xyla into the makeup studio.
