This sidestory takes place three months prior to Project R and serves
as a short introduction story to the upcoming oneshot: The Rent is Due!

Project R Snippet 4 - Toodles!

"Bent over the banquet table, food and all, gown still on…
Now that's a story, Althéa! Not your silly little candlelight dinner…” Gemma purred.

"Or even better… Straight from the altar, vows half-finished, and his massive...
hands shredding the fine silk off her shoulders before they've even cleared the chapel doors!
That's the story that makes the Queen gasp."

Althéa didn't even glance up from the wine she was swirling…

"So… Your great story is a torn gown and a messy table?
Wow… Bold, for one who's been bested at the last Jubilee."

"I haven't been bested, Althéa. I've simply let you have your turn at being pitied.”

"How generous of you, sister.”

"Anyways, I have to fly! So... Toodles! Oh... and do keep that candlelight burning...
It's the only spotlight you'll get!”

"Pah! We’ll see about that, Gemma!
SEBASTIAN! TIME FOR A NEW STRATEGY!”
