"Ah," the illegally low baritone voice called out, "Y/N, take a seat, i do insist."

You tucked the h/c silky strands of hair behind your ear before taking a seat in front of him - Wriothesley. "Thank you for inviting me out for afternoon tea, Your Grace," you smiled at him subtly, watching his slender fingers swivel around the ceramic teacup, "However, i must ask, what was the issue you had to alert me with?"

Wriothesley delicately placed the cup back down after a quick solid sips and glanced at you before leaning back in his chair. "Neuvillette," he stated, "today is unusually busy for him, i'd like to request if you can check on his state." You raised an eyebrow at his words, gaining a sigh from Wriothesley. "He may become overwhelmed."

You suppressed a faint chuckle before sipping the tea beside you whilst Wriothesley was waiting patiently for your response. "Your Grace, you should know yourself Monsieur Neuvillette doesn't mind being busy, right?," you huffed, putting your teacup back down onto the intricate table beneath, "By now, i'm pretty sure he has grown to become used to his job. There will be no need to check on him." The man infront crossed his arms before grinning at you, his icy pearls mirroring his emotions.

"You're a tough one, Y/N. I ensure you that i wouldn't have requested you to do such a thing if it wasn't for a good cause." Your face was painted quizzically, unsure why it was so necessary to see Monsieur Neuvillette. Within a split second, you checked your golden watch wrapped perfectly around you wrist and looked up to see the man nod, signalling he should leave.

Wriothesley got up and stood beside your chair before reaching out a hand so you could stand, you thanking him with a quick nod. "I hope you consider my request, Neuvillette would indeed be overjoyed by your presence." He spoke before releasing your hand and beginning to walk away. "Thank you, Your Grace." Wriothesley turned to smile at you before continuing his walk back to the Fortress.

You were speed walking towards the Palais Mermonia so you could see Neuvillette. Even though the two of you were a couple, it was immensely hard to be able to even sneak a quick chatter with him. As the Chief Justice, he is always focused on recent trials, and many trials to come which can quickly become overwhelming. Neuvillette however doesn't mind the constant pressure of working to a specific deadline, yet he finds it bothering he can't always see you. And of course you were the same.

A melusine was stood beneath you whilst pointing towards the door, "allow me to walk with you Miss Y/N." Your eyes beamed at her as you smiled. "Thank you."

The melusine walked you through the Palais Mermonia - which was unusually packed with people - and allowed you to wait on a couch near Neuvillette's office door. "You may need to wait to see Monsieur Neuvillette. He's busy at this hour." The melusine said before trotting away to handle more duties. Your eyes examined the room and you saw many furious expressions that were mocked upon. A variety of different voices were heard too:

"This needs to be quick! How much longer?"
"Is Monsieur Neuvillette available yet? I've been waiting for ages!"
"You lot run this place so unorganised!"
"Please be patient good sir!"

The constant chatter was starting to annoy you, you begun to hide your ears with your hair so the noise was muffled slightly. It still couldn't block out the angry voices booming across the room. It was utter havoc today.

"Miss Y/N, do you mind waiting another couple of hours to see Monsieur Neuvillette?" A different melusine approached you with a slightly stressed expression printed on her feline face, causing you to reach down at her with sympathy. "You do need some rest. Don't worry about me seeing Neuvillette. Please, go rest." The melusine sighed in relief before nodding, "thank you so much Miss Y/N." With a smile, you waved to her as she wandered out of the door sluggishly. You could now see what Wriothesley meant by 'busy'. If the melusines are overwhelmed by it, how is Neuvillette doing?
