So let me get this straight,” Frederick said, after sipping on his tenth cocktail of the night. It didn’t have any alcohol in it—he didn’t react well to it, like me. Darmar weren’t that resistant to alcohol. “The princes… they come to your room every night, to help you out with work?” That had been a great stress reliever for me. “And Rylan likes to have you by his side before bedtime, before he heads off to his own room? You little she-devil. You’ve been keeping this all to yourself?”

“Sh!” I replied.

There were people all around us, and the scholar next to me gave us a weird look. It was starting to become no secret the princes and I had something going on. I tried not to let the rumor affect me too much, and denied it with everything I had—even though I was lying through my teeth.

The council was having its annual ball, and it had come at a timely moment, a few weeks before the vote. It was supposed to give us candidates time to mingle. I’d already done my fair share and was taking a breath, but Mei was still going strong, surrounded by people from commerce. I was actually starting to get worried she might win.

Frederick had moved on from his cocktail and to eating an inca-dog. He said over chewing, “And you said nothing happened.” He gestured with his dog as he spoke.

I winced. “Nothing more than that happened.”

“That’s already a dragon’s load! Tell me more.”

“Micah loves sweet foods. Candy of all sorts, and I think his lips are the softest.”

“You’ve kissed them.” Frederick looked like he was about to faint. He fanned himself. I allowed myself to beam from my gloating. Frederick leveled his gaze me. “I am so jealous of you, Sera Cadriel. You’re living the dream that every man wants.”

“Woman,” I corrected him.

“Both. They are just so mouth-wateringly good looking.”

“They’re more than that.” They were my men, and although they seemed cold and regal from a distance, I knew their weak sides, their softer natures, and I loved spending every minute with them.

Wait. My men? When did I start thinking of them that way?

Frederick rolled his eyes. “Yes, but that’s all I want to think about. How good they look. Never mind the baggage.”

I accepted them, baggage and all.

And they were willing to share. We hadn’t gone anywhere beyond kissing, and I was still deciding who I was going to let win Kael’s game. I was certain that it wasn’t going to be Kael, because he might get too clingy and start gloating to unimaginable degrees.

The princes were also at the ball, but their royal status gave them a separate location. They were up in the gallery with their own separate feast, which was probably filled with ingor and food from the Black Seas.

Rylan caught me staring at him from the first floor, and he waved. I wave back, feeling my stomach turn with the excitement of knowing they paid attention to me.
