Wriothesley's POV
God damn.
Neuvillette's stubborn insistence is without match.
"There will be a wedding!"
"No."
"You can't say no!"
"I'm quite sure I can."
"I'll organize on myself!"
"Can you force me to attend?"
"Neuvillette you stubborn son of a-"
"How many times do I have to tell you that that one doesn't work?"
"Argh! You damn lizard-"
"My true form is more akin to a snake."
"Ugh! How long do you think you can keep doing this?!"
"If you try to figure that out, you will find that I'm quite a patient man, Furina."
"I will kidnap your husband!"
"Oh, please try. I dare you."
This back-and-forth has been going on for half an hour now.
The thing that probably pisses Lady Furina off the most is that while she is getting angry and agitated, Neuvillette's calm tone never once wavered from start to finish.
"Please just give up, Furina. I have an engagement planned later and I do not wish to be late."
Hmm?
Engagement?
Ah!
The meeting with Charlotte!
I think I'm gonna tag along for that one.
Maybe I'll be able to get my hands on some pictures without needing to sit through an interview.
"As if I would give up!"
I think it's time for me to step in now.
"How about we move the wedding to a later date?"
"A later date?"
Both of them looked at me as if I had said something bizarre.
"Right. How about sometime after we have dealt with the organization selling Primordial Seawater and trying to kill me? If I have to have a wedding, I would prefer for it not to be interrupted by an assassination plot."
I wasn't lying.
If there really was a need for a wedding, I would rather not have it ruined.
Lady Furina sank deep in thought while Neuvillette just smiled at me.
"Thank you, Wrio." He mouthed.
I barely held myself back from blushing.
Gods!
That smile is as deadly as always.
"Alright." Lady Furina suddenly spoke up.
"Alright?"
"Fine. Whatever. You win. We'll come back to this when all matters are handled." She compromised.
And that is how you fool an archon, ladies and gentlemen.
I have absolutely no intention of getting back to this.
Ever.
Weddings are just so uselessly troublesome. Plus, Lady Furina would most likely want to meddle.
