“What kind of more?” asked one girl breathlessly.

“Whatever more that Master Legend wants.”

A couple girls giggled at the mention of Legend’s name.

“I’ve heard if he really fancies someone, he asks for a private audience,” another girl whispered in a scandalous tone.

Several girls tittered and the conversation took a turn that Tella wished it hadn’t.

Heat traveled up her neck as she listened to speculation as to what happened in these private chambers.

They’re just silly girls in silly costumes, repeating silly rumors about a fake Legend, Tella told herself. The real Legend isn’t here.

And yet Tella had to fight the urge to rip the red feathers from the hair of every girl here.

Minutes ticked by slowly as one by one, the girls went through the red curtain.

Somewhere outside, a church bell clanged ten bells.

Time had passed more quickly than Tella realized, but she knew her sister well. Scarlett would be nervous, but she wouldn’t start properly worrying until it was after midnight. That gave Tella two more hours to find the imposter Legend and then get back to the palace.

“You need to start smiling,” Yasmine hissed. “You’re about to go out there.”

Yasmine slipped through the curtain then.

And Tella was alone. The final girl to audition.

Her heartbeat quickened. Beads of sweat ran down the back of her neck. She couldn’t see the stage on the other side of the dark red curtain, but she could hear the click of Yasmine’s heels and a muted male voice telling her to turn around so he could see her backside.

Tella’s cheeks burned with a fresh surge of anger.

Not the real Legend. Not the real Legend, she repeated to herself.

“You’re up,” the young man with the beard grunted.

Tella gritted her teeth, she took an uneven breath, and then she stepped through a crack in the curtain.
