I was the hottest star at the Capital Music Hall, and to buy my freedom, I supported three patrons. My jealous rival, Cathy Lewis, called me cheap. I smiled. "How about I let you have these three patrons instead?" She opened her mouth to curse, and then froze. Floating words appeared before her eyes. [Cathy, hurry up and grab them. These three are the future Regent, Grand Marshal, and Prime Minister.] [If you win them over, you'll be a noble lady someday—outrank the queen and put the consorts to shame.] [OMG, this is so satisfying. The heroine spent ages trying to win these guys over, but in the end, Cathy's going to steal them all at the last minute.] The contempt in Cathy's eyes instantly turned into feverish excitement. "I'll take all three," Cathy said. I grinned and held out my hand. "Five hundred gold coins for each patron. No haggling." Cathy gritted her teeth. "Fine, deal!" Little did she know, these so-called down-and-out scholar, rogue bodyguard, and penniless musician were each more trouble than the last. I was more than glad to seal the deal.
