TW// many trigger warnings. Don't take this lightly! The legend of the first calamity caused by the Hydro Dragon was one to shake people to their cores. From you 200 years ago; the case remains open as the nation of Fontaine builds itself from the ground up, and the new society builds on justice. A case of Melusine murders drives Wriohtesley to work with a soldier, detective, and a judge to uncover its secrets and reveal older connections to Egeria's era, the previous queen of Fontaine known from tales told.

Wriothesley takes it upon himself to investigate the sudden disappearances of melusines when Sigewinne doesn't return from her sudden day off. This leads him straight to the Chief Justice himself, only to find that Neuvillette too seems to have taken a few days off. Warning! This story, while just like my other stories, doesn't have smut, unlike my previous stories it is on the more mature side, here and there (mostly some jokes). Read at your own discretion. The title may change. OMG I'm obsessed with this ship! This story is getting written ASAP! Credit for cover goes to @Liiiiiiimsao on Twitter

Wriothesley, a criminal who was arrested at the age of 18 and released 5 years later, began his reputation as the Lord of the Fortress of Meropide, but in fact, throughout these years, he continued to commit crimes secretly. Neuvillette, Chief Justice of Fontaine, had recognized Wriothesley and realized his crimes, sentencing him to 10 years in prison. Wriothesley, disgusted by the situation, searches for a plan to regain his position as the Lord of the Fortress of Meropide. "A criminal knows how to ration the criteria around him, thus making my life easy to deceive others." Wriothesley said, expressing his thoughts while completing his plans with Clorinde's help.
