Summary:

From this prompt: "The King needs bodyguards to escort him to a ball that may or may not have enemy agents present. Athos (along with as many others as author chooses, or none) is picked to accompany the Crown on the mission. The others are absolutely floored by how good he is at being a courtier. He gets everything right- even the attitude. I would love to see the reaction of the other three. Bonus points for confident and graceful dancing, extra bonus points if some fine ladies fall a little bit in love with his completely disinterested facade, a million extra bonus points if he is forced to fight off a would-be assassin without a weapon."

This is a podfic of one of akathecentimetre's kink meme fills. Chapter 4 of "His Smile Me Draws, His Frown Drives Me Away". This ficlet really drew me and I ended up reading it in!
