Fourier:  “And the newcomer isn’t likely to be assigned to accompany my father or elder brothers on one of their trips. They won’t mind if I ask for Ferris’s company.” Fourier seemed to be quite enjoying himself as he announced that he would accede to Crusch’s request. “But," he added, winking uncharacteristically, "if that was all you were going to ask, why tell me about the goings-on at the House of Argyle?”

Crusch:  “It’s simply that if matters with the family become public, Ferris is bound to hear of them. If that happens, I want someone close to him who knows what’s going on. I couldn’t rely on anyone but you, Your Highness.”

Fourier:  “Um! Indeed! Because I am a most reliable man! I should like you to repeat yourself.”

Crusch:  “—? I couldn’t rely on anyone but you, Your Highness.”

Fourier:  “I see, I see. At the end of your rope, are you? Then I have no choice—you can count on me! Cough! Cough! Hrrk!” Fourier pounded his chest—a bit too hard, resulting in another coughing fit. It just seemed to be the way things were going that day. It was enough to raise concerns about the prince’s health.

Fourier:  “Not to worry. I’ve been suffering a bit of heartburn lately. My older brother has been coughing, too. Perhaps he’s caught a cold.”

Crusch:  “It’s not my place to make yet another request of you, Your Highness, but I do hope you’ll look after yourself. Your health matters to more people than just you. If you’re feeling unwell, you needn’t come all the way here…”

Fourier:  “Ah, but it’s when I’m feeling my weakest that I most want to see y—Um, never mind! More importantly, have you any plan for how you’ll deal with the Argyles?” Fourier changed the subject, blushing at Crusch’s words.

Crusch:  “Once we confirm that the slaver really is going to the House of Argyle, I’ll go and confront them myself. Then we’ll find out the truth of the matter.”

Fourier:  Fourier waited a moment before responding. Then he asked: “Do you really need to confront them yourself? I should think it would be dangerous.”

Crusch:  “I’d like to handle things internally, without matters getting out of hand… And there’s Ferris to think about.” If it were simply a matter of arresting them, she could send the army. But if the House of Argyle had committed a major crime, Ferris could be inadvertently placed in a questionable situation as well. In the worst-case scenario, the House of Karsten might be forced to formally adopt Ferris before dealing with the Argyles.

Crusch:  “Your Highness, I humbly ask that you keep this from Ferris. I’ll make every effort to deal with this personally, as a local matter.”

Fourier:  “While I keep an eye on him in the capital—very well. This is between you and me. I’ll keep it to myself. But should the wind change and things turn sour, I can’t promise I’ll stay quiet about it. All right?” Fourier nodded, despite his continued misgivings about Crusch’s plan.
