Carbuncles! Amulius, the Saccharum Prince, asked me to have lunch with him some time. Amulius Breek. He has pitch-black eyes and the kind of confidence that comes from never being told no. Guess what? I said no. Dawn thinks I was a scatter to say no.
I explained that I thought he wanted to know if I was really the person everyone said I was. I told him exactly who I was. He didn’t seem to mind. Seems like his sister minded. She stormed out when she saw him talking to me. Not sure what that was about.
From Chapter 10:
Zorra was about to speak to her new friends when someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned and found herself staring at the sleek, illusium face of Amulius Breek, the Saccharum Prince. His pitch-black eyes sparkled with mischief.
“Excuse me. Zorra, right?” he asked, flipping a lock of thick black hair out of his face.
Zorra sighed, “The Prince. Yes, that’s me. The space pirate, war-escaping daughter of the legendary Captain Stefan Wessing. How can I help your highness today?”
