Chapter 43

• Sophie looked up from the book she had been reading when the door that led to the king’s chamber opened. She expected to see the king but instead, his special advisor walked in. Sophie got up fast, dropped the book, and bowed to him. He was second in command and answered directly to the king so he was treated with the same respect as the king, not to mention, he used to be the king’s best friend.
• “Sophie?”
• He called out her name.
