“I’m curious,” Orlant says, “how you expect to help his highness with this mission.”
Laurent sits up straighter. “Auguste is awful at lying. And he’s even worse when under pressure. I, on the other hand, am excellent at lying in all circumstances. Therefore, I am here to accompany Auguste. We can say I’m his companion or assistant and I can do the talking.”
Orlant is grinning by the end of this, and says, “That’s a noble idea, my Prince, but I think you’re missing something. Most of those assistants are really pets.”
Laurent pauses. “Oh.” He seems to think for a moment. “Well, that doesn’t really alter my plan at all. I’ll pretend to be his pet then.” He turns to Auguste. “This will be just like when we used to play pretend.”
This will be nothing like when they used to play pretend, Auguste thinks.
