Fourier:  He forced himself to contemplate the worst possible scenario. It was likely that what the Volakians had wanted from all this was to obtain the House of Argyle’s secret spell that allowed them to control undead warriors. The current Volakian emperor was said to be a cruel man. Given the friction between Volakia and Lugunica, it had been necessary to prevent anyone else learning the forbidden spell. "I managed to do everything I wanted to. Sometimes I impress even myself.” Fourier’s reading of the situation had been so perfect that he found himself bursting into spontaneous self-congratulation. Fourier’s intuition sometimes proved considerably sharper than average, but this time it had been especially brilliant. Then again, he had been focusing his full concentration on it ever since Crusch had spoken with him. Granted, this sometimes left him with a pain in his head and a heaviness in his chest… "But it’s a very small price to save Crusch and Ferris." Those two were now talking together near the burned ruins of the Argyle mansion. He dearly wished to join them, but it would have been a most impolitic time to break in. Ferris and Crusch shared a bond that was for them alone. True, Fourier had his own bond with each of them, but he knew that at this moment it was necessary to keep his distance for reasons he couldn’t fully articulate. "Of course, it’s hard for me to let Ferris have Crusch all to himself right now, given how worried I was about her…"

Julius:  "On behalf of your friends, Your Highness, let me thank you for your considerateness." The speaker was Julius, who rode with Fourier in the dragon carriage. He seemed to find recent events thought provoking in his own way. His expression looked different, somehow, from the way it had before they left the castle.

Fourier:  "I gave you your fair share of trouble, too, didn’t I, Julius? Well done getting them both out at the very end there.”

Julius:  "You needn’t thank me, Your Highness. Truth be told, today’s events made me feel acutely how powerless I really am. I think I may have let being chosen for the royal guard make me forget what it truly means to be a knight.”

Fourier:  "Another serious one! Knights should be more—well—gallant! Do some brave deeds, and you’ll be knight enough. Yes, I’m sure of it.”

Julius:  Julius looked entirely taken aback by Fourier’s pronouncement. But he composed himself quickly and smiled, then nodded. "You’ve surprised me more than once today, Your Highness. I, Julius, swear anew my fealty to you."

Fourier:  "I’m not quite sure how I feel about that, but I accept your loyalty. Devotion to the kingdom is truly valuable. Let your heart be bound not to me, but seek the prosperity of our whole land. Now…you think it’s about time?” Fourier leaned over to get a look at Crusch and Ferris.
