After discovering his ladyâs identity, all Prince Adrien wants is to spend time with Marinette (and win back her heart). He gets his chance to put all royal duties on holdâincluding his engagement to Princess Kagamiâwhen his long-lost twin, FĂ©lix, offers to trade places.
The only problem, it turns out, is switching back.
âWait,â Chat Noir said, green eyes gleaming as he tipped his head back to look at Ladybug. His grin was wide, brimming with intrigue. âWhat do you mean you had a thing for Prince Adrien?â
Ladybug stepped around a cracked marble column and slung her yo-yo toward him, the wire zipping as it wrapped around his ankle. She tugged hard, and he slammed to the polished floor, the beam from Neutralizerâs ray leaving the marble smoking where it hit.
âJust, you know, a thing!â Ladybug said, retracting her yo-yo and reeling it back into her hand. Neutralizer stumbled, weight tipping on his machine-heavy side, then slammed into the wall, rattling a few gold-framed portraits and antique vases as he went.
âWhat kind of thing?â
âOh, you knowâa stupid crush! Can we focus, please? I have an exam to study for.â
Chat Noir showed no pity as he chortled, picking himself up off the floor, absolutely unconcerned for her French History grade.
Ladybug gripped the spotted umbrella her Lucky Charm had given her and, cheeks flushed, smacked him on the arm.Â
âWhat?â she demanded. The wall shook and groaned as Neutralizer climbed out from the gaping hole heâd left, knocking a decorative sword and shield to the floor. At Chat Noirâs responding smirk, she bristled. âLike you didnât have a celebrity crush growing up!âÂ
âI did,â he said, eyes crinkling as he grinned at her. âOn you.â
She scoffed and waved him off, though the heat in her cheeks spread fast to her belly. âThat doesnât count.â
