What they didn't know was that I had handed the seal to Harry with my own hands. The empress, Bella Barrett, had always felt guilty about not giving Harry the position of empress consort.

She replies with a small smile on her face, leaving me looking at her, utterly speechless. I don't have the power to disagree because for god's sake, she's the queen! From the side, I see Emery clenching his jaw but he stays calm, not wanting to cause a scene. Then, the queen dismisses herself with grace.

A contract with a signature and nothing more. Then the chapel doors open, and my carefully constructed certainty starts to crack. Her father steps in first, tall, proud, his hand curled protectively around her arm. Then I see her. Isabella Hart. My bride. For a moment, I forget to breathe. The dress should have looked ridiculous, heavy with lace and sequins, the kind of gown that makes a woman look like a doll. But on her, it doesn’t.

She looks untouched. Fragile, even.

We would spend the night here for sure. "Lady Keres,daughter of King Haemon of Elwae, step forward." A red head walked out of the crowd elegantly, flaunting her beauty and holding the hems of her gown high as she walked. Her breasts looked like they were going to spill out of her bodice and her face had a major disaster on it. I caught Empress mother's glance with my side eye and I figured she wanted a reply from me. "Nay mother." I said and she nodded. I gave the same reply to about ten more that were dressed the same way.

The woman who once commanded boardrooms in thousand-dollar suits now wears off-the-rack polyester and shoes with scuffed heels. Her hair, previously styled to perfection, hangs limp around her face. But her eyes still hold that calculating intelligence that made her dangerous in the first place. “Emery.” She settled into the chair across from my desk without invitation. “Nice office. Very... authoritative.” “Harper.” I don't look up from the contract I'm reviewing, I let her wait, I let her remember what it feels like to be dismissed. “You look well.”

The Goddess was no longer projecting pain. ​She smiled again, and this time, the chime of her voice held a note of pure satisfaction. ​"You have passed the true trial," she announced.

Every chapter had mattered. But none of them had defined me alone. Pierce found me there as the sun began to set. “You came here for the ending,” he said. “No,” I replied. “For the truth.” “And what is it?” I looked out across the water. “That the empire was never the company.” He nodded slowly. “What was it then?” I turned toward him, smiling gently. “The empire was the woman who refused to disappear.” We walked back home under a sky painted with the last colors of sunset.
