*̠C̠̠O̠̠M̠̠P̠̠L̠̠E̠̠T̠̠E̠̠D̠* Your place in this world is by the side of Alexandre, the elder of Napoleon's two living sons, born unfortunately out of wedlock. Alexandre's half-brother, Franz, is the legitimate heir to Napoleon's throne, but he's spent his entire life with his mother in Austria. Rumor has it the aging Emperor, well into his sixties, is thinking of claiming Alexandre and making him his heir, and there are some who are willing to go to any length to make sure that doesn't happen. Others would prefer to see the House of Bonaparte go the way of the House of Bourbon, and France made a republic again. Keeping Alexandre safe from the perils that beset him on every side is a full-time job - and as Alexandre's best friend and bodyguard, it's a job that falls to you. From dinner parties to nights at the opera to airship races over the English Channel, you occupy the place of trust at your friend's side - but in the face of mounting danger, you're forced to decide where your true loyalties lie - not only for yourself, but for the future of France.
