Furina's POV
What the-
What the heck is this?!
After waking up I decided to go downstairs and demand some breakfast but-
What the f*ck?!
The whole house-
Every inch of it was filled with melusines running about!
As I was making my way through the first floor, I came face to face with Duke Wriothesely.
With a really tired-looking Duke Wriothesely.
The second he fought sight of me, it was as if he had seen his arch enemy.
"You-"
I?
"You! This is your fault!" He shouted before walking into the bathroom and slamming the door shut.
My fault?
What is my fault?
It didn't take long for me to find out as the Duke's rants were audible even as I descended the stairs.
"Argh! That- Damn it! Who would have thought he is the type that likes to cuddle in his sleep?!"
Oh.
Pfft!
So that's what the problem was.
Neuvillette certainly seems to have a surprising habit.
Even I wouldn't ever have thought of this.
When I got downstairs I finally spotted the culprit behind Duke Wriothesely's tired complexion.
This one looked...
Incredibly well-rested.
He was pretty much glowing.
"Ah, Furina! Did you sleep well?" He smiled brightly.
A shiver ran down my spine.
That's far too weird for so early in the morning!
Still, I nodded.
But...
"Definitely not as well as you."
"I indeed had quite a pleasant rest."
You did.
Duke Wriothesely did not.
At that moment, another exhausted person passed by.
"I know I said I would be fine with them dating but this is too much..." Sigewinne mumbled as she stomped upstairs without giving me as much as a glance.
With the direction she was going in...
I enhanced my hearing a bit and sure enough...
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Your Grace! We need to talk! Now!"
Really...
Poor Duke Wriothesely.
It took quite a while for the two of them to come back down. By that time the rest of the girls had already gone to work and I was almost finished with my breakfast.
The two of them came down the stairs and...
It looks like Duke Wriothesely won this argument.
Sigewinne grabbed her plate and moved over to the window, looking outside and sighing as she ate.
