*Mrs. Lovett was halfway through her first day as head of the kitchens. It was nice to be the one in charge, and the children were absolutely adorable, even if they kept expecting her to hit them if they did anything wrong, and seemed very surprised when she gave orders without shouting. It was enough to make one wonder what sort of person her job usually attracted.*

*King Orduag entered the kitchen and looked around.... He was rubbing his hands and grinning evil as he saw Mrs. Lovett.*
"Well, hello there, my beauty" *he said in his charming voice.* "Where do you come from?"

*Mrs. Lovett was slightly startled, but kept herself composed. She smiled back at him*
"England, actually. Guess you didn't hear about your new head of the kitchens."

"Eleanor, I'm not sure where-"
He saw the king as he entered the room. His eyes narrowed.

*King Orduag smiled and bowed polite.*
"Well, it is nice to know that my kitchen staff holds such excellent standards..."
*He looked her over, completely ignoring Steerpike.*

Steerpike calmly inserted himself between them and glared.

*Mrs. Lovett turned to Steerpike, unsucessfully trying to get rid of the tension*
"What was it you wanted?"

"I want you," he said slowly to Orduag, "to stop making eyes at my fiancee."

"A king has no right to step over the bonds of betrothal!"
He gave Lovett a significant look.

*Several thoughts were going through Mrs. Lovett's head, not the least of which was "Fiance? Since when?" However, the important thing right now was to avoid getting thrown out or executed.*
"I don't think that will be necesseary, Your Majesty."
*She went over to Steerpike's side*
"He's just protective."

*King Orduag looked at them with a smile on his face.*
"You should really protect this charming lady here, young man... A beauty like her will be very popular among my men.... and with me...."
*He looked deep into Mrs. Lovett's eyes.*

*For once in her life, it occured to Mrs. Lovett that maybe Mrs. Barker hadn't been stupid to refuse a powerful man. Still, that didn't mean she could afford to be careless or impolite.*
"I'm very flattered, but they're a bit late",*she said, her smile never fading.*
