SEVEN

I trust you can figure that out. Imperia hates it when Daddy says that. She hates it when anybody says that. The last time she had to figure something out, she ended up punching someone in the nose.

She bows her head and sighs as she heads back into the dining room. This thing with Skylar is harder to solve than all the math problems in her little book. She sits down, makes fists with both hands and props her chin on them. Her knuckles graze her cheeks. Her knuckles are sharp.

The thing that’s bugging everybody about Skylar isn’t that Imperia defeated her. It’s that she has a broken nose, and she’ll be disfigured. The problem isn’t the punch so much as the horrible medical treatment.

In the Kingdom, whenever Imperia injured something, she went to the palace wise woman, a healer who would then wave her magic wand over it or rub a potion on it or make some incantation.

And then the bruise would be gone.

Imperia leans back in her chair.

Of course. The solution is that simple—and that hard.
