 Wriothesley's POV

 I should have expected this!

 I definitely should have expected this!

 I expected this!

 I just didn't think it would be this bad!

 We had barely been outside Palais Mermonia for a minute and the amount of stares we were receiving was shocking.

 Okay.

 Not for next time:

 No dressing up for dates.

 "Wrio dear." Neuvillette called out suddenly.

 "Huh? Yeah- Yes?"
