Chapter 50

Sophie felt bored out of her mind but that wasn’t the problem, she just couldn’t rub off the fact that something wasn’t right and that she might be in some kind of trouble. Ever since Patrick, the king’s right-hand man came to her, she hadn't seen or heard from the king. She tried to ask those who came to give her the basic things she needed about what was going on in the palace and the king but no one said anything to her. She couldn’t directly ask if the king did call off his wedding as Patrick had suggested. She hoped not because that would mean trouble for her. No one would believe she has anything to do with the king, she was in the house where mistresses are kept and well taken care of, she didn’t need a prophet to know that the people who attend to her think she is the king’s mistress. She wanted to shout to them that she was not but it was a waste of time as they wouldn't even say anything to her in the first place.
Not knowing what a new day would bring to her made her constantly feel unrest, she still didn’t know if anything was being done to prove her innocence, she had no idea what was going on and she felt hopeless and all she could do was think and wait.
Sophie got out of the bed when she heard a noise as if someone was entering the apartment, it wasn’t time for dinner yet so she knew it wasn’t the palace maid.
