Blake endured it, and offered to treat his new colleagues. Michael stepped in to defend him, pointing out that Blake had indeed earned merit on the battlefield and had received the king’s commendation.

The gatekeeper recognized her, and hurriedly tried to stop her. Sophie brushed him aside, and strode forward. The palace guards weren’t idle. Seeing someone break in, they quickly took their positions. After the incident at Eleanor’s birthday banquet, the guards were well aware that Sophie was considered an enemy of the grand princess.

Her mind wandered to the rumors she had heard from Gillian, who had investigated and reported that Kylie had once summoned Sophie to the palace, mentioning that Salvador wished to make her his concubine. The news had seemed ludicrous then. Despite Sophie’s respectable background, military achievements, and good looks, she was a divorced woman. Even…
