Perhaps my station makes me a target, but it also makes me untouchable. If a woman were ever by my side, she would never have to be afraid of anything—because the world serves me.” Her father had a respectable empire with plenty of

No fear. “Your forefathers learned something you seem to have forgotten.” A pause. “We are not to be underestimated.” My jaw tightened. “If the world allows only three superpowers…” Her voice sharpened. “Then we will become the fourth.” Bold.
