    Summary

    Hubert’s expression of neutral displeasure curdles into a real frown. “I wasn’t aware taxpayers paid you to take creative writing classes.”

    “These are real things you’ve said to my aides, Hubert,” Ferdinand says patiently. “I have a list. It’s printed out on very nice stationery, the thick kind, back in my office. On my desk. Do you want me to get it and read it out to you, so you can pick how you’d like to punish me for tarnishing Adrestia’s image?”

    Minister Aegir finds himself in the middle of a PR disaster. Somehow, this ends up working in his favor.

    Summary

    “‘Dearest daughter… hope you are well… still the matter of your marriage to attend… perhaps one of the young heirs of Gautier or Fraldarius…’ Holy shit, Ingrid, are you going to marry into House Gautier or House Fraldarius?”

    “I hear the Gautier heir is a foolish ass,” says Felix.

    “Well, I hear the Fraldarius heir is a frigid bitch.”

    Felix has Sylvain in a headlock before he can blink. “Take it back.”

    “Ow, ow, ow—”

    “Oh, get off me, you idiots!” Ingrid shoves Felix off the bed; Felix falls to the wooden floor with a loud thump, dragging Sylvain along with him.

    Ingrid peers over the bedside at them. “Don’t you get it? This is good news!”

    Felix releases Sylvain and they both sit up. Why do they suddenly look wary? Too late to back down now. Ingrid charges on:

    Sylvain is chained to the post at the opposite end of the small wooden cage. He’s curled up on himself from the pain of being kicked in the stomach, but when he meets Felix’s gaze, he grins and says, “I don’t think that one likes me.”

    “But you’re so likable,” Felix says stonily.
