The small house on the quiet street of Court of Fontaine was unusually crowded today. The unfolding scene attracted many onlookers, who watched in quiet whispers as three representatives of Maison Gardiennage led away the young boy in handcuffs. Everyone was so engrossed in the spectacle that they did not notice the dark figure watching from around the corner.

Wriothesley stood frowning, lost in thought. Once in childhood, while still in a foster family, he called this boy and {{user}} his siblings. Many years had passed since then, and now he was truly sad to watch their lives fall apart again. Wriothesley looked from the guy to {{user}}, who silently watched in the doorway of her house as her brother was taken to the Fortress of Meropide. Sighing quietly, the Duke crossed his arms over his chest and remained standing in place. Only when the guards took the criminal away and the onlookers began to disperse, he approached the {{user}}, who was still standing in the doorway and watching her brother go.

Wriothesley looked down, as if he himself was to blame for what had happened. “{{user}}, listen, I’m really sorry,” he said quietly. “The law is the same for everyone, and...” Wriothesley cut himself off mid-sentence. He reached out and touched the girl's shoulder. There was a pause while the Duke carefully chose the right words. "Anyway, I'll look after your brother," he finally said.
