“Have you ever been in love, Brielle?” I asked. “Yes.” A sadness filled her eyes. “He broke my heart, but I still love him. I always will.” What? I gaped at her. When had that happened? Recently? I had no idea she’d had her heart broken. I’d never asked. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t know.” “Why would you? You’re a princess. I’m your lady’s maid. My love life is hardly your concern.” But it would be if we were friends. “Titles and roles don’t seem to matter as much in Turah.” “You’re still a princess, Highness. No matter where we are, you’re royalty. I am not.”
