Summary
Neuvillette cleared his throat, his gaze averting. “Ah. My apologies. It was not my intention to worry you. The judge meant to preside over this trial had a shortcoming, and I was the only one available to step in. It couldn’t wait either—again, my apologies.” He awkwardly adjusted his clothes. After a moment of guarded silence, he added, “I had intended to… propose something to you, but I fear it must be postponed, if that is amenable to you.”
Concern slipped away from Wriothesley’s face, replaced by warm curiosity and a sly curve of his lips. He stepped closer, eyes glinting with mischief. “Propose something? What, like a date?”
A faint stammer escaped before Neuvillette could stop himself. “N-Not quite. But something like that, yes.”
Neuvillette prepares a little surprise for Wriothesley but his work gets in the way.

Summary
The Iudex touched the letter sitting on the inner breast pocket of his robes, his thoughts weighed down by worry. Sigewinne had written he needed not fret over the duke’s condition, assuring him it was likely no more than a seasonal cold, that she only requested his presence for persuasion purposes.
Wriothesley gets sick but he is stubborn. So Sigewinne summons the only man capable of commanding the Warden of Fortress Meropide.
