“I slip my hand in the pocket of my skirt and close my fingers around the dagger.
“What is this about?”
“We made a promise to be together after the revolution, didn’t we?”
Bile rises to the back of my throat as I recall the girl I used to be. The girl who simpered as Ryce murmured sweet promises about a shared future.
“You were serious?”
His face drops. “You weren’t?”
My mind flips through scenarios. Lying about my former feelings won’t work. I spent years trying to catch his attention, and he used my crush on him to convince me to join the Princess Trials. Telling him the truth—that I suspected his promises for a future was a ploy to get me to join the mission—might also fail. Ryce could take that as an opportunity to declare his love, and I don’t want a repeat of what he tried to do in the farmers’ market.”

“Dr. Palatine runs a scanner down my body and diagnoses fractured ribs, abrasions, lacerations, and a mild concussion. After giving me a painkiller, he injects my ribs with nanobots and runs a device over my torso that will cause the bones to set. The process is uncomfortable and made worse under Ryce’s lingering gaze. I clench my teeth, reminding myself that this is a price I must pay for Prince Kevon’s freedom.

“What should I say? That I joined the Princess Trials to find a way to let the rebels into the palace but changed my mind when I fell in love? It wasn’t love for Prince Kevon that changed my mind but a deep admiration for his heart, his sense of justice, his potential to change Phangloria. If I voice these thoughts, I’d sound insincere. In all the time we’ve spent together, I haven’t expressed my love, and I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve rejected his advances.”
