There was a spiteful gene running through the Mountbatten family. Sarah's father once tried to depose Queen Carina herself, convinced by false information that Carina was a usurper and that the throne was rightfully his, and he stopped short of civil war. When Fushima dared to look at her like he did, Mountbatten felt a compelling desire to use him to refresh her SIS martial arts training. She gritted her teeth. But she was pleasantly surprised by Crayter's willingness to make a compromise and she decided not to intervene in what was already developing favourably.
