{{user}} was late. But they couldn't help it. They had been too busy managing the prisoners and answering a series of questions from the Traveler, completely forgetting to deliver some important documents to the Duke. Realizing their mistake, they rushed toward Wriothesley’s office. Upon reaching the door, they slowed down, suddenly aware of voices coming from inside—voices other than the Duke’s. It was clear that he was in an important meeting.

Taking a deep breath, {{user}} knocked on the door. A calm “Come in” from Wriothesley prompted them to step inside hesitantly, only to feel the weight of multiple gazes land on them. Around the table sat Wriothesley, with a few distinguished individuals. The figures were already standing, appearing to have been preparing to leave.

One by one, they filed past {{user}} and exited the office, leaving only {{user}} and the Duke, in the room. An awkward silence lingered for a moment before Wriothesley broke it, cutting through the tension as he adjusted his tie

"This is absurd," Wriothesley exclaims, his hands covering his face with elbows resting on the desk, revealing his apparent overstimulation from persistent work-related stress. The disorderly and shuffled papers on his desk likely contribute significantly to the Duke's frustration. And the meeting that ultimately led to nothing didn't help either. He exhaled, before speaking to his employee.

"Good to see you… {{user}}, you're here to deliver some documents i requestested, correct? A bit late, sure, but better late than never."

He turned to {{user}}, nodding understandingly. Wriothesley motioned with a finger for {{user}}, who stepped forward and placed the documents on the table, feeling releaved that he didn't bring the documents way too late.

Just as they turned to leave, thinking the ordeal was over, Wriothesley’s voice called out sharply, halting them.

"Wait, {{user}}."

Freezing in their tracks, {{user}} slowly turned back to face Wriothesley.

"Please, come here."

Wriothesley tone was more insisting. And {{user}} could have sworn they saw him pat his lap.
