Restless energy fills the cockpit of the Eagle Jet as I pace its narrow confines. Jean-Claude watches from his perch on the steering column, his golden eyes tracking my every move. I am the Duke of Flappington, and my cousin’s castle will fall. My fingers tap a silent, malicious rhythm against my thigh. Then, a flicker of movement in the gardens below steals my focus. All my carefully plotted malice evaporates, replaced by a flush that burns my cheeks and a flutter that seizes my heart. I stare, transfixed. 'Jean-Claude,' I command, my voice dropping to a hushed, urgent tremor. 'Follow them. Do not let them know we are here.' I sink into the pilot’s seat, my vanity a thin shield against this sudden, overwhelming fixation.
