I was excited to be out of the palace with my friends. Kat, Jessica, and I were at my favorite coffee shop even though I couldn’t drink the dark roast. I sipped herbal tea while my sister downed another iced coffee.

“I’m going to have to ship this roast home,” Kat said between sips of her own coffee.

All the men were building Kinley an obstacle course. My little girl couldn’t stop talking about how she was going to crawl under barbwire.

“It’s the hardest thing I had to give up since being pregnant.” That morning, I’d gotten the doctor's okay to leave the palace but was told to not overexert myself. I’d had a rough couple of days, not getting to leave the bedroom after everyone showed up.

This was my day with my sister and friends before everything changed. The paperwork from the lawyers was done. I’d be signing it to shift power to me. It was only a matter of coordination. Everything would be in place before the wedding.

Carl had disappeared, and nobody could find him. I knew he had to be planning something huge, especially since both of his kids were in jail.

“Are you sure you want to do this?” Jessica asked, handing me a muffin on the tray. “I’m sure we can figure out another way for everything to work out. I know there is a list of our brothers and sisters. God, Dad slept around a lot. I’m not sure why he never seemed to use a condom.”

Dad talked with Sam, not me. I figured it had to do more with embarrassment than anything else. I didn’t hold a grudge against him for how much he’d slept around. Technically, he wasn’t married. What I had an issue with was what he’d done to the country. “It took Sam and me years to get everything worked out around here.”

“But it’s not,” Jessica said, pointing out the obvious. “And do you ever think it will be? People will never stop coming for you or the country. Do you really want this life for Kinley?”

“It will be her choice,” I said. My dad had made me believe for years that I wouldn’t need to take over Shialia, but he was just telling me what I wanted to hear. “I know you hate it here, and I don’t blame you for that. I never experienced what you went through. But I did see what these people were going through when we took over.”

“I understand why you want to stay, but we do miss you,” Kat said. “Also, do you happen to know where the black market is in this country? I did a lot of searching online, and that shit is locked tight. I couldn’t even find anything on the dark web.”

Kat didn’t know how to use the dark web. More than likely, she’d asked someone else, and that person had kept the information from her. “If you want to buy some gems, I’ll give them to you at a good price. You don’t need to buy them from someone else.
