I COULD NOT HOLD MY breath for seven minutes. I couldn’t even make it to
one. I once tried to run a mile in seven minutes after hearing some athletes
could do it in four but failed spectacularly when a side stitch crippled me
about halfway in.

However, there was one thing I managed to do in seven minutes that
most would say is quite impressive: I became queen.
By seven tiny minutes I beat my brother Ahren into the world, so the
throne that ought to have been his was mine. Had I been born a generation
earlier, it wouldn’t have mattered. Ahren was the male, so Ahren would
have been the heir.

Alas, Mom and Dad couldn’t stand to watch their firstborn be stripped
of a title by an unfortunate but rather lovely set of breasts. So they changed
the law, and the people rejoiced, and I was trained day by day to become the
next ruler of Illéa.
What they didn’t understand was that their attempts to make my life fair
seemed rather unfair to me.

I tried not to complain. After all, I knew how fortunate I was. But there
were days, or sometimes months, when it felt like far too much was piled
on me, too much for any one person, really.
I flipped through the newspaper and saw that there had been yet another
riot, this time in Zuni. Twenty years ago, Dad’s first act as king was to
dissolve the castes, and the old system had been phased out slowly over my
lifetime. I still thought it was completely bizarre that once upon a time
people lived with these limiting but arbitrary labels on their backs. Mom
was a Five; Dad was a One. It made no sense, especially since there was no
outward sign of the divisions. How was I supposed to know if I was
walking next to a Six or a Three? And why did that even matter?
When Dad had first decreed that the castes were no more, people all
over the country had been delighted. Dad had expected the changes he was
making in Illéa to be comfortably in place over the course of a generation,
meaning any day now everything should click.
That wasn’t happening—and this new riot was just the most recent in a
string of unrest.

“Coffee, Your Highness,” Neena said, setting the drink on my table.
“Thank you. You can take the plates.”
I scanned the article. This time a restaurant was burned to the ground
because its owner refused to promote a waiter to a position as a chef. The
waiter claimed that a promotion had been promised but was never
delivered, and he was sure it was because of his family’s past.
Looking at the charred remains of the building, I honestly didn’t know
whose side I was on. The owner had the right to promote or fire anyone he
wanted, and the waiter had the right not to be seen as something that,
technically, didn’t exist anymore.
