Michelle squealed as the pig raced over her feet. Raoul dove for it but it kicked free.
"The pendant will be yours!" he called as he raced after the pig.
Michelle ran after him but soon found herself lost in the maze. Suddenly, she turned a corner and found herself face to face with Louis.
He cocked his head. "Michelle, isn't it?"
She stared at him for a long moment and then slowly nodded.
"Celeste! Celeste!"
Celeste's arm was grabbed and she was spun around. "What?" she cried, alarmed.
"Come," said D'Artagnan. "You must see this."
The three of them stood behind the hedge and watched as Louis tried to seduce Michelle.
"Poor Raoul!" whispered Celeste.
Suddenly the pig trotted right in between her feet and sat down.
D'Artagnan swung him up into his arms with all the ease of the farm boy he had once been.
An evil light came into Celeste's eyes and she took the pig from her Uncle. She smirked as she held it and waited for the right moment "Watch this."
They watched as Louis approached Michelle. Her eyes where wide as he touched her cheek. He leaned in slowly…
"WHHEEKKKK!"
The pig sailed over the gate and hit the ground running right at Louis's feet.
Michelle jumped back, her face scarlet.
"Wait!" called Louis. "Michelle, I…"
Celeste wiped tears of laughter from her eyes. "That was perfect!" she whispered.
Aramis smiled.
Suddenly Celeste grabbed D'Artagnan's arm. "Look! There!"
D'Artagnan turned. Instantly he drew his sword and leveled it.
A man jumped out from behind the corner of the building, in his hand a long sharp knife. It was aimed for Louis's throat.
Louis stared, frozen.
Suddenly a sword flew out of nowhere and struck the man's heart. He fell to the ground.
