Summary
Neuvillette clears his throat, taking his hand back with some amount of awkwardness. For a boy who’d committed a faux pas, he certainly looked adorable enough to be forgiven easily. “You are only supposed to symbolically kiss the knuckles…of a lady, that is. I’m afraid such greetings are not meant for men.”
“But we’re not men, are we?” Wriothesley asks. There is no shame on his face, as there is just amusement as he takes his own hand back to press it against his back. “We’re just boys, who are meant to be playmates. And you’re certainly beautiful enough to warrant a chivalrous kiss on the knuckles, even if you’re not a lady.”
“...you have a silver tongue, it seems.”
In which Prince Neuvillette meets his first assigned playmate, Wriothesley.

Summary
“Should your reputation not be first and foremost for you, instead of my own?” Neuvillette asks.
Wriothesley, two years his junior, cocks his head with a knowing smile. When he opens his mouth to ask his question, Neuvillette can already tell that it will be a test for him instead of a genuine inquiry.
Because that is what Wriothesley does, as his playmate, and companion. He does not simper, does not flatter, does not fawn—rather, he asks questions. And so, Wriothesley asks him,
“Why would you think so?”
Prince Neuvillette has his debut into high society. It's not very pleasant, up until Wriothesley makes a surprise visit.
