Did you know that she was cyborg?โ asked a woman in an unhidden tone of disgust. Kai stared at her, appearing confused, then let his gaze dance over the crowd. He shuffled his feet closer to the podium, a wrinkle forming on the bridge of his nose. Cinder bit the inside of her cheek and braced herself for adamant disgust. Who would ever invite a cyborg to the ball? But instead, Kai said simply, โI donโt see that her being cyborg is relevant. Next question?โ Cinderโs metal fingers jolted.
Marissa MeyerNo. She will never be queen.โ She swayed toward him, and he felt like he was being encircled by a python, smothered and choked.
Marissa MeyerOh, my stars! Think about Prince Kai! You could dance with Prince Kai!โ This made Cinder pause and squint into Ikoโs blinding light. โWhy would the prince dance with me?โ Ikoโs fan hummed as she sought an answer. โBecause you wonโt have grease on your face this time.
