Empress Katya let out a long breath, letting her head fall into her hands. But she did not cry. She never cried. Sometimes, she wasn't even sure if she could.

"What? Are you in need of another child? Sick of the ones you took from me already?" He spoke slowly, but there was no mistaking the rage beneath his tone. The first day that Katya had used the gift she'd received from the mysterious stranger on Emperor Helio, she knew she'd sacrificed any possible chance of crafting a happy marriage between the two.

"Whew! Wow! That was so scary, oh my god!" I gasp out. "Even if you didn't tell me, I would have realized that he and Empress Katya are related. What are they feeding the kids at House Duvernay?"

Just as I'm about to release his neck and go back, hat in hand, to my tent like a schmuck, I feel a pressure on my back. It's my father, his arms wrapping around mine and surrounding me with the intense warmth of his much larger frame. I haven't had this kind of hug since... since ever.

"If I get in, I won't let you down, your highness! You can count on me!" Jack promises from where he kneels with gratitude. His faith in me is endearing as I still have yet to think of how I'm going to get him into the most prestigious institution in the entire empire.

The Imperial College is Oxford, Harvard, and MIT rolled into one fancy institution that trains the next generation of people who will one day run the government and empire. And despite its misleading name, it takes in students from the age of 12 and spits them out at 20. After the school lets in its annual nepotism babies (Augustus is smart but definitely not smart enough to get in), it has a famously difficult exam with a 1% acceptance rate.

"Huh?" My proud smile dims a few degrees as I search my brain for what he's talking about and come up blank. An off-screen sports commentator screams into his mike, AND IT'S AN ACE BY THE YOUNG WOLFE! WINTER CAN NOT RETURN HIS SHOT!

"That's good," he continues without caring if I've said anything. A sick, dreamy look overtakes his face. "I want to marry you too."

I roll my eyes, after all, if he knew my true age he'd be running for the hills.

This is your family. The people who tore you away from your old home, but couldn't be bothered to make your strange new one comfortable or even survivable. The ones who watched with the very same gold eyes you have, as your reputation was besmirched and your head was decapitated at the tender age of 16. They, who were supposed to cherish and love you most, but couldn't care less to investigate your death until the ditzy, lovable female lead decided to. You never asked to be a part of the imperial family, so why did they punish you for it?
