That had to hit a nerve as Ritch lost both his parents in the same incident...
I also loved the line about Brett telling him not to let them see you "sweat", e.g. show fear or anxiety.
Perhaps the "forced" conversion point becomes moot after the Tsar is ousted in favor of his son....
In any case, I thought it went well and I expect Granger with continue his amorous ways...
More please!
