I nodded, grim.

“I should send you home tonight,” the King said.

“But, father” Nicholas began.

The King held up his hand, stopping him. “But I will wait for the public’s reaction. They have protected you thus far, Piper. Tonight you showed them your true colors. We’ll see if their love for you persists.”

I bowed. “Thank you for your leniency, Your Majesty.”

“Nathan will procure you a list for your apology letters,” the King said.

of public opinion, Piper. My father did not expel you from the contest simply because he believes he doesn’t have to. He expects the public to come for your head.”

“I know that.” Of course I knew that. The King has always made his disdain for me clear. Even from the beginning, Julian had told me I was only here as a publicity stunt.

Nicholas exhaled. “Piper, I want to protect you.”

“It was less a threat than a promise. He made clear I’d come crawling to him.”

“That bastard.” Nicholas’s voice took on a dangerous growl. “As if you would ever.”
