The following day, envoys from the Royal Court arrived to bestow honors. Isolde was granted an estate of 500 households, along with a sum of five thousand thalers of gold. As per the edict, the amount split evenly with the Marshal of Brackenfell–2,500 each.
The gold arrived that very day, its radiant glow dazzling to behold. Matilda’s envy burned as she stared. her hunger for it twisting her insides like a knot she couldn’t untangle.
After receiving such an honor, tradition required a visit to the Royal Court to offer formal thanks. The royal edict had clearly stated both must appear. That evening, the Duke of Blackmoor summoned Isolde. “Prepare yourself, he instructed her curtly. “We leave for the palace at dawn.”
Since being granted the hereditary title of Grand Duke, the Blackmoor estate had become a hub of activity. Visitors now arrived in a steady stream, day and night.

When questioned, Matilda had argued that Isolde’s attire needed to reflect her status as the Duke’s daughter, especially now that she was of marriageable age. Though the Duke had thought it excessive, he let it pass.
But now–no suitable clothes? It is utterly absurd.
Harlan added quietly, “Lady Isolde says appearing at court in such attire would dishonor you. She’s asked that you offer thanks on her behalf.”
The Duke’s face grew thunderous. “The royal edict specifically commands her presence. If she refuses to go, she dishonors the king himself.”
After a tense silence, his voice turned cold. “Very well. I’ll personally see to it that she has something.
