Paige blamed herself for being thoughtless and stupid, but she continued to train and fight, and it lifted her spirits slightly.

Someday, I want power. I want enough power to get my revenge on him, Paige thought. She wouldn’t give up. She wouldn’t break. No matter how devastated or disappointed she felt, Paige’s spirit never withered. She held on to hope. She held on to the hope that someday, if she gritted her teeth and persevered then she would arrive at a turning point. She held on to the hope that there would come a day where a light as brilliant as the sun lit up the pitch-black darkness of the arena’s basement. She might not have been able to do anything but fight, but she had all the freedom in the world to hope.

Westalia and Paige were on their way to the office of the Imperial Guard. They were traveling by carriage, and Paige seemed to be lost in thought.

She was remarkably resilient, but there was now an infection in her eye, so the eye patch remained in place. Westalia had told her repeatedly not to rub it, no matter how much it itched, but Paige hadn’t listened, so bacteria had gotten into the wound. Westalia hoped the swelling would go down soon and that it wouldn’t permanently affect Paige’s eyesight.

“Paige, are you listening?” Westalia asked.

“Oh, sorry,” Paige said, jolting back to reality. “I was just thinking. Were you saying something about not telling the crown prince you’d secretly enrolled in cooking classes?”
