My dad’s a national hero. Once upon a time, I thought it was pretty
awesome. And the reward bestowed on my family ? Gosh, I was so excited
when I was twelve.
We were no one. Mom worked the kitchen at the duke of Osvald’s estate
—not even the fancy kitchen. They served the staff. Dad was a lowly stable
hand. That’s how they met, down below, in the staff break rooms.
And then, just as we were starting at the local public middle school, it
happened. Extremists literally tried to kidnap the duke’s youngest daughter,
an eight-year-old kid, when she was out on her riding lesson. And my dad
saved her, dragging her away, shoving her on his shoulders and hiding her
down in one of the service corridors the would-be kidnappers didn’t find.
It made the news, the old king himself awarded him a knighthood, and
as for the duke? He must have really liked his daughter, because what he
gave us was unbelievable.
It’s been ten years and I still can’t quite believe it, although I’ve since
returned part of the gift.
First, there was money—a lot of it, enough so that my parents never
needed to work again. They do, because it’s in their character, but now they
get to do what they love rather than breaking their backs for the duke’s
estate.
Then, my sister and I were admitted to the royal academy of Anderia’s
boarding school, entirely free of charge. That’s a good six figures for our
education per year. And on top of that, the duke pledged to sponsor our
college studies, too.
But the truly inconceivable thing wasn’t the money, although it
completely changed the course of our lives back then.
It was the last gift, the one that still doesn’t quite make sense. The one I
rejected.
He gave us his sons.
Everyone knows the royals of Anderia get betrothed practically at birth,
but Alessandro Valmont, earl of Folburgh, and Nicolas Valmont, viscount of
Valdenach were the rarest commodity, unattached fourteen- and ten-yearold at the time. I think their previous brides of choice died in infancy, and
the duke hadn’t gotten around to picking other fiancées for his pride and
joy.
But he picked us, my sister and me, although we were commoners—and
not even rich commoners.
I was in the middle of my Disney phase, and Alex bore an uncanny
resemblance to Prince Eric from The Little Mermaid, so needless to say, I
was sold on the idea. And as for Nico, with his adorable dark curls and his
quick smile? He seemed perfect for my little sister, Belladona.
And like all things too good to be true, it exploded in my face.
“This is your pilot speaking, it’s three-forty-five, and we will shortly
begin the descent to the Royal Borough of Anderia’s airport. Please return
to your seats and prepare for landing.”
My stomach tightens, although I’ve never been afraid of flying. What
I’m undeniably afraid of is landing here.
I haven’t been back in four years. Not once. After graduating from
RAA, I took a plane out of our small, fashionable kingdom aimed straight
to Gatwick airport.
