    Summary

    ”Thank you for coming, Duke Wriothesley,” he said. “Please, take a seat.”

    Wriothesley did as instructed, settling into the chair without leaning back, posture alert, eyes never leaving him. “You called?”

    ”Yes.” Neuvillette clasped his hands together. “This meeting is not disciplinary in nature, nor does it concern an ongoing case,” he took a breath, slow and shaky. Wriothesly watched the way his fingers tightened, the way his shoulders barely lifted with the breath he took. Neuvilette continued. “I required your presence for… consultation.”

    Wriothesley straightened his posture and asked, “For what kind of consultation?"

    Neuvillette hesitated, just barely. “Personal conduct,” he said, tone even. “Or rather, the consequences of it.”

    Silence followed. The kind meant to invite elaboration.

    Summary

    Wriothesley has a good thing going—he's managing his Fortress, exchanging letters and gifts with the Iudex, and he's making sure everything is running as it should, regardless of the passing of the prophecy, diplomats, or festivals. Of course the world decides that he needs a curveball thrown at him, overturning everything he knew with a simple dynamic switch that could kill him.

    Luckily, there's an omega who cares about him. A lot.

    Summary

    Wriothesley is sick of his 9 to 5, which isn't really 9 to 5 now is it, when he has to pull overtime six days out of seven, and then a 24-hour shift on the seventh day? (Okay, it's not that severe, but he's still sick of it.)

    Given the chance to move to a house out in the countryside for a more-than-reasonable price, Wriothesley seizes the day and tells himself that he's going to have one of the most idyllic retirements ever.

    No one told him why, exactly, the house had been so cheap to begin with.

    (That's a lie. They do, eventually. It's just not the reason that only God knows.)
