Sophie endures life as a street beggar caring for her terminally ill mother until a botched theft exposes a Firemark on her forehead, identifying her as the emperor's missing daughter. Guard Harvey confirms the lineage, prompting the ruler to acknowledge her. However, the emperor's stepdaughter Lucy and her mother, Consort Winson, refuse to yield their status.
