When we arrived in Nanthia, Ella and I went straight to the palace and snuck in through the servants' entrance. We evaded detection and quickly met the king. "What brings you two young women here?" he asked.

"Henry!" he called.

I frowned and said, "Your Majesty, you must send a warning to the people to leave within the next two weeks!"

"Why?" a prince—Henry—entered and asked.

I took a deep breath and answered, "Because our older stepsister—Drizella—has managed to successfully infuriate the two groups you don't want mad—the Hunger Victors 'cause they could easily kill the person they're mad at and District 13 'cause they have nuclear bombs—in my homeland, my country, of Panem. Both groups have declared war against Drizella and unless she apologizes, Nanthia WILL become a inhabitable wasteland—unless everyone moves underground, like they did in thirteen."

"For what?" Henry pressed.

"For what she said to Ella," I answered. "The night of the ball—which is also the night we disappeared—Ella and I actually had an interview with Caesar Flickerman on national Panem television, which is why neither of us were at the ball—actually, I got engaged at the end of the interview, so I couldn't have come anyway. During the interview, something hateful that Drizella had said earlier that evening came up and Ella ended up in tears. Ella can—should she so choose—live with me in Victor's Village of District 11 simply because she is my twin sister. The same applies for Lady Tremaine, Drizella, and Anastasia. However, none of them can inherit the house nor the items within. When I die, everything will be taken back to the old house in the Sheath—the poorest part of District 11. The Sheath is equivalent to what was the Seam of District 12. The items will then go to my children, the oldest of whom, should I die before they are nineteen and are at least twelve years of age, shall sign up for tesserae or, if under twelve, on their twelfth birthday. If necessary, all the kids will eventually have signed up for tesserae."

Henry nodded and said, "We'll get them out."

I nodded and Ella and I raced to Tremaine Manor.
