Gao Jing was naturally the first heir to the throne. No one would doubt this when he appeared at the airport.

The little child was not afraid of the camera at all. He even smiled and waved at everyone. His calm appearance made him look like a prince.

Not to mention, when Sophie saw the child, she took off the medal on her chest and put it on Gao Jing’s chest.

That was a medal that only the crown prince would have. She had worn it on her chest before she ascended the throne, but now she had given it to Gao Jing.

What this meant was self-evident. Gao Jing would be the future crown prince.

Gao Tian had also received the attention of the public. Many of his works had been translated and broadcasted in Country F. Everyone was curious about what the Queen’s husband looked like. For a moment, the entire kingdom was filled with Gao Tian’s film and television works.

Although he had always been acting in supporting roles, he was still famous for his good acting skills. As an actor, he was not ugly. He held his ground even when standing with the new generation of actors.

The people were attracted by Gao Tian’s charm, and many of them became his fans.

Gao Tian, who was already middle-aged, had an even more refined temperament. When he arrived in France, he was wearing a suit that exuded the charm of a mature man. Sophie teased him, “This is a new suit, right? I didn’t expect you to value your image so much.”

“My wife is a queen. Of course, I have to dress appropriately.” Gao Tian smiled.

He had come over, but his identity had yet to be confirmed. Until now, Gao Tian was only the Queen’s husband in the media reports. They did not know how to address him.

After all, the previous queen’s husband was a local noble, so he received the title of Duke. However, they did not know what Gao Tian would be in the end.

Sophie did not drag this out for long. The old king’s funeral was coming up, and as his grandson-in-law, Gao Tian had to attend.

The royal family immediately announced Gao Tian’s identity. As the queen’s husband, he would be given the title of Prince.

This really shocked everyone. They thought that Gao Tian would at most be conferred the title of Duke, just like the previous queen’s husband.

He did not expect Sophie to give him the title of Prince. That was a title that only members of the royal family could have. His status was equivalent to that of the crown prince.

Although the husbands of many queens would be given the title of Prince, those royal families were just mascots. They had long lost their actual rights and it did not matter what title they were given.

The royal family of Country F was the actual master of the country. It was too risky to give a foreigner such a high title. If this person used his power to participate in politics, it would not be a small matter.

Many nobles wanted to object, but when they reached the entrance of the palace, they went back because the army was guarding the door. All of them looked fierce.

They understood that this was a warning from the Queen, so they chose to shut up for the sake of their lives.

Gao Tian thus became a prince and accompanied Sophie to the old king’s funeral.

According to the royal etiquette, the old king would circle around the city before being buried in the church. During this period, the royal family had to follow behind to deliver the funeral. The people came to the roadside one after another, holding flowers in their hands to send the old king on his last journey.

Jiang An also came with Zou Bai, but she only stood far away to express her respect for Sophie’s grandfather and did not get too close.

After all, she was a foreigner. Her words and actions represented China. She could not be too close.

As the coffin was carried into the church and Sophie and Gao Tian got out of the carriage, someone suddenly fired at Sophie.

Gao Tian’s first reaction was to get in front of Sophie. He fell into his wife’s arms.

Horrified, Sophie yelled, “Somebody get a doctor!”

The army immediately restrained the person who fired the gun. Everyone surrounded him and carried Gao Tian into the church in a flurry, making it easier for the accompanying doctors to go in and save him.

The people were dumbfounded. It had all happened too quickly. They had not expected such a thing to happen at the funeral, let alone an assassination attempt on the Queen.

This time, the funeral could only be stopped. The coffin was temporarily stored in the church. The people dispersed one after another, not daring to stay. No one knew if another person with a gun would appear.

Someone sighed and said, “An assassination attempt on the Queen, it looks like the country is going to be in chaos.”

Jiang An hurriedly brought a secret guard in and said, “Sophie, this person is best at treating gunshot wounds. Get him to take a look at Gao Tian.”

Sophie was scared out of her wits. When she saw Jiang An, she quickly said, “Okay, you can arrange it.”

She was not a timid person. If she had been shot, she would not have been so frightened. However, Gao Tian was her husband and the love of her life. Sophie could not calm down after he put his life at risk for her.
