Arch the Thief is sneaking around the Royal Palace, looking for the Heart Stone. A monastery is willing to pay for it and its healing powers. All he has to do is find it in Duchess Nova's bedroom, sneak out of the castle, and enjoy retirement in a brothel.
His plans go sideways when Duchess Nova catches him and he has to rely on his quick tongue to get him out of this mess. However, Duchess Nova is no fool and has her own tricks up her ornate, satin sleeves.
