Wriothesely's POV
Neuvillette recovered from that fever incredibly quickly.
Suspiciously quickly even.
As Sigewinne put it:
"Since he can't use his elemental powers, he should recover at the same pace as a human."
When questioned by the suspecting head nurse, he simply blamed it on his physique.
I don't buy it.
Well, at least he talked to Sigewinne.
She's been a whole lot happier since.
Though, I would very much like to know what exactly they talked about.
Sigh...
Never mind. None of my business.
And...
It is quite fun watching Neuvillette's reaction when Sigewinne calls him-
"Dad!"
I watched as the usually stone-faced Chief Justice blushed as he stuttered through his next sentence.
Sigewinne was kind enough not to point out the stuttering when she answered him with the brightest smile on her face I had ever seen.
It does make one wonder what will happen when the rest of the girls come back for dinner.

Sigewinne's POV
"How is the tea, Mosieur Neuvillette?"
"It is quite delicious. It doesn't warrant you calling it disgusting with so much spirit earlier." He chuckled.
Liar!
You don't even tolerate tea unless it's absolutely necessary!
You think it's an insult to pure water!
Hmph!
But...
In the end, he drank it all.
Now I feel bad.
I even made it taste extra horrible.
Half the ingredients weren't even necessary. They were purely there to make it more bitter and salty.
...
Hmph!
But the Duke deserves to drink it!
How could he threaten Monsieur Neuvillette?!
But...
"Monsieur Neuvillette?"
"Yes?"
"Could we perhaps... talk about what happened earlier?"
And there it was.
The big question was thrown out in the open.
"I-I'm not sure what I can say would be to your liking, Sigewinne."
My heart tightened at his words, but I still gathered the strength to look him in the eyes.
"Could-could you tell me anyway?"
