Part 1 out of 3
The fortress of Meropide was surprisingly warmer than above ground. You thought it might be a little chilly due to being underwater. It wasn't hard to get used to and if it was you'd have to suck it up. This was your home for the next 8 years, or maybe longer.
Walking towards the registration desk felt like a walk to your death. You were a Fontaine noble and it was rare to see someone like you in a place like this. Once your papers were signed, a strongly built man came towards you. His black hair swayed even if there was no wind, the grey streak fitting in perfectly. Scars came just above his shirt, with a loosely tied tie. He was a rather stunning man, and most would fall for him instantly.
"Ah, you must y/n. The Fontaine noble, I've been waiting for your arrival." He flashed a smile that made your cheeks turn slightly red.
"Yes, that is me. You are?"
"Wriothesley, the duke of Meroipide."
You tensed up at his words, you didn't know this was the duke. His gaze was warm and made you feel like you were safe, despite being in prison. The way his eyes were soft but also pierced yours, the way his scars stood out but also blended in. He just seemed perfect. The silence continued for a while until Wriothesley spoke up.
"Y/n, may I speak to you, privately." His face showed little emotion.
"Sure." You tried to sound calm but felt your voice breaking.
The pair of you walked towards the duke's office. The double opened which led to a dimly lit room with a small winding staircase. Wriothesley led you up the stairs where he did his work. Four bookshelves lined the back walls and a wolf crest right in the middle of the wall. Similar to the one on his vest.
"Your case confuses me Y/n." He began to speak. "You were a Fontaine noble, you had everything you needed but why would you try and kill your husband?"
"Sir, you have to believe me, I didn't do it."
"I need more evidence before I pick a side. As of now, you're still guilty, but maybe you can tell me everything about the day of the 'murder'."
You began to tell him about the day of the murder. You were out all day with some friends and had alibis to prove that, once you got home the police were talking to your husband. Then arrested you. You went to court a week later and the judge ruled you as guilty and now you were here.
Wriothesley nodded along taking in all the information and occasionally writing stuff down. He did have a report on you, but from what you gave it seemed inaccurate. There were a few holes in your case such as no murder weapon and no motive. Your husband was a lot richer than you and may have used that against you.
"Its starting to get late, we can continue this tomorrow."
"Oh alright, thank you sir."
He walked you too your dormitory, it wasn't small but it was decently sized, cosy enough for you.
"Don't think just because your a noble your getting special treatment. Your just like the rest of us."
"I didn't think i would sir."
"Please don't call me sir, it makes me feel old."
"Oh sorry."
"You know, I've taken quite a liking to you y/n." He quickly turned the other way, probably walking back to his office. He left you too stunned to speak.
