Rascal Redux: New Chapter pages 1-4

 

P. 1: Late Night Confessions
P. 2: Marci & Julie Talk
P. 3: Christina Rebukes Her Bodyguards While Natasha Arrives
P. 4: Meanwhile, At the Next Table Over...
Nothing takes place in a vacuum.
Christina is a princess and future queen in an unnamed European country (I'm thinking Navarre because of Love's Labour's Lost) while Marci & Julie are her bodyguards. She is being trained incognito because her parents, the current king and queen of her country, worry about her and are concerned for her safety (she's an only child and her cousin will ascend the throne if something happens to her). All of them met in the first book (this is the sequel) because Christina was a prisoner (of sorts) in the castle where she had been living and trapped in a bell jar Sylvia Plath-type of existence. Natasha doesn't realize it yet but she's in over her head. She's overlooking Rascal because she's distracted by the princess and her two bodyguards, but she hasn't been told that yet. Sometimes the best place to hide something is in plain sight.
