Chani wasn’t raised as the daughter of world-renowned expert ecologist Liet Kynes just to be shown up by some dork in AP Biology. She’s going to get earn her place as valedictorian even if she has to strangle him by that elegant neck in his sleep. He sits next to her at the front of the class, his gorgeous floppy curls always in his face despite the care in which he dressed himself with. Chani knew who he was— the son of the governor, Leto Atreides, one of the richest men on the planet. His wife was a model and a fashion designer, using their wealth to put them on magazine covers like they were the royal family. But they weren’t, and Chani wasn’t beneath them. In fact, she was smarter and would get farther without having everything handed to her. Though she has to admit his knowledge in Biology is all his own hard work. No amount of privilege could force someone to have sincerity or drive.
