The Law Is A Stalker

The days after the ball were normal. No more exchanges with wealthy, powerful men. No more balls to attend, at least for a while. It remained calm. I have not yet seen the Chief Justice or the Duke of the Fortress since I left them at the fountain, almost a week ago. I assume they have forgotten me, and that might be for the better. If they were to suddenly show interest in someone like me, it would be incredibly suspicious. I do not enjoy having rumors made of me, especially not the kind that would be created if the Chief Justice himself started knocking on my door..

Thankfully, it has not happened. Our small meeting was just that; a small meeting. We bumped into each other, introduced ourselves, and left it there. At least I did. They, on the other hand, did not.

Wriothesley's POV

"Monsieur Neuvillette has been waiting for you, Duke."

"Thank you, Sedene."

Without stopping, I take a sharp right towards Neuvillette's office, and keep walking once the automatic doors open.

"You sure took your time. Did you get held up by something?"

"Ah yeah, don't worry about it though. It's been taken care of."

"Good. Now, please take a seat."

I picked up one of the chairs and started walking off with it.

"Wriothesley."

"What? You said take a seat, so I'm taking one."

One look at his unamused face tells me he doesn't have the time for this, so I put the chair back where it was and sit on it. With one deep sigh, Neuvillette continues.

"Now, I have called you here-"

"To discuss that person, yeah?"

"Please do not interrupt me. But yes, to discuss that person."

He reaches behind his desk to grab something, so I take this opportunity to ask a question.

"What exactly do you want to discuss? They're not that important, are they?"

"Not on their own, no. Here, have a look at this."

He places a thick folder full of files in front of me, and I pull them closer, carefully taking off the cover and skimming through the contents of it. While reading, a name catches my attention.

"Zander? Isn't he the bloke who got a life sentence for- oh."

"Life sentence for assaulting a person, yes. This," Neuvillette points at the name at the top of the document, Y/N L/N, "person. The one we met."

"Alright, so they're the one who had that big case years ago. Got it. Is that all you wanted to discuss?"

"No, I-"

And then suddenly the doors both opened again, revealing the figure of the Hydro Archon standing in the door.

"Uh, w-was I interrupting something?" Her tone starts off nervous, and for a moment she looks like she might crumble, but she pulls herself together quickly.

"No, not at all. Please go ahead."

Okay, except she definitely did interrupt...

"Well, just wanted to let you know I'm heading out to have my portrait painted!"

"...was it necessary to tell me that?"

"Well, of course! You know, just in case you wanna know where I am."

"Well, enjoy then."

And without another word, she turns around and with a little skip in her step, walks away. When the door closes, I talk before Neuvillette has the chance to.
