“Well, you’re wrong,” I informed her. “This IS an emergency. An emergency crisis in our

relationship—yours and mine.”

Grandmère seemed to find this statement totally hilarious.

“Amelia,” she said. “What is the one thing you have been complaining about most since the day you

discovered you were, in reality, a princess?”

I had to think about this one.

“Having a bodyguard follow me around?” I asked, in a whisper, so Lars wouldn’t overhear and get his

feelings hurt.

“What else?”

“Not being able to go anywhere without the paparazzi stalking me?”

“Think again.”

“The fact I have to spend my summers attending meetings of Parliament instead of going to camp like my

friends?”

“Princess lessons, Amelia,” Grandmère says, into the phone. “You loathe and despise them. Well, guess

what?”

“What?”

“Princess lessons are canceled for the duration of rehearsals forBraid! What do you think of that?”

You could almost hear the smug satisfaction in her voice. She totally thought she’d pulled one over on

me.

Little did she know that my loyalty to my friends is stronger than my hatred for princess lessons!

“Nice try,” I informed her. “But I’d rather have to learn to say ‘Please pass the butter’ in fifty thousand

languages than see Lilly not get the part she deserves.”

“Lilly is unhappy with the part she received?” Grandmère asked.

“Yes! She’s the best actress of all of us, she should have had the lead! But you gave her the stupid part

of Alboin’s mistress, and she only has, like, two lines!”

“There are no small parts in the theater, Amelia,” Grandmère said. “Only small actors.”

WHAT?I had no idea what she was talking about.

“Whatever, Grandmère,” I said. “If you don’t want your show to suck, you should have cast Lilly in the

lead. She—”

“Did I mention,” Grandmère interrupted, “how much I enjoyed meeting your friend Amber

Cheeseman?”

My blood literally ran cold, and I froze in front of the G & T room, my phone clutched to my face.

“Wh-what?”

“I wonder what Amber would say,” Grandmère went on, “if I happened to mention to her how you’d

squandered the money for her commencement ceremony on recycling bins.”

I was too shocked to speak. I just stood there, while Boris tried to edge past me with his violin case,

going, “Um, excuse me, Mia.”

“Grandmère,” I said, barely able to speak because my throat had gone so dry. “You wouldn’t.”

Her reply rocked me to my very core:

“Oh, I would.”

GRANDMÈRE, I wanted to scream. YOU CAN’T GO AROUND THREATENING YOUR ONLY

GRANDDAUGHTER!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU??????

But of course I couldn’t. Scream that. Because I was in the middle of the Gifted and Talented room. On

a cell phone.

And even if it IS Gifted and Talented, and everyone in that class is incredibly weird anyway, you can’t

go around screaming into cell phones there.

“I thought that might change your outlook on the situation,” Grandmère purred. “I will, of course, say

nothing to your little friend about the state of the class treasury. But in return, you will help solve my

current real estate crisis by starring inBraid! The fact is, Amelia, as a descendant of
