Eileen was most surprised by the sound of Michele's gunshot. She instinctively pressed her hands against her chest as the sudden noise sent her heart racing wildly.

 

Michele blew out the muzzle of the smoking gun and glanced triumphantly at Eileen, her eyes seeking praise. Unfortunately for her, Eileen, completely shaken, could only grasp the door handle, her wits scattered.

"I have the approval of His Excellency the Grand Duke to pass! I'm also an acquaintance of Eileen's!"
