Marjorie has to act, and act quickly, or the new Baby Prince may lose his inheritance and the Crown.

Nayuleska's thoughts
I loved the set up for the story, how
everything was explained with good humour liberally tossed about, There's a
fair amount of mischief for Marjorie to counter, but sadly this was where the
plot felt rushed. With such a detailed build up I was surprised at how little
time was spent on the secret mission. It felt like an important and significant
chunk of the story was missing, the flow was rough which is a shame because the
rest of the story is strong, funny and all in all enticing.
