    Summary

    During a visit to the Marquis Vestra's estate, Ferdinand makes the mistake of sneaking into Hubert's office and taking a forbidden look into his spell tome—rigged with a magical trap, naturally.

    Summary

    Ferdinand von Aegir doesn't feel that he has a place among the Black Eagles, but the Blue Lions welcome him in warmly. Hubert von Vestra, a looming reason for Ferdinand's decision, does not approve of this change of houses—especially when Ferdinand becomes fast friends with notorious playboy Sylvain Gautier and charming, handsome Prince Dimitri of Faerghus.

    Hubert isn't jealous, oh no; he's merely concerned about the safety of the Adrestian Empire.

    Summary

    But there is often a point—the bleakest moment of the narrative, bringing the reader to the edge of their seat with fear and anticipation—when the hero is, temporarily, in dire straits. Brought to the villain’s lair and threatened with various things, to varying degrees of detail. Held captive and imperiled.

    Lady Rhea would object very strenuously if any of the students under her care came to harm at the hands of another, Ferdinand reminds himself, and tries not to wonder whether Hubert cares what Lady Rhea thinks.

    It would be enormously unsuitable for Ferdinand to be either afraid of or aroused by Hubert’s air of menace, and yet.

    Summary

    The water lurches. Up the wall, over his sleeve and Hubert has only enough time to push himself upright before that orange mass is back again, bigger, faster, sweeping towards the surface.

    A sheet of water crashes over him as he stumbles back. A shock of cold in his face, pouring into his collar and soaking his shirt through when he lands on his back. He sputters, struggles to breathe between the fall and faint tang of blood and water in his mouth. He paws water from his face, blinks it out of his eyes just in time to see a massive, golden fin slip back over the wall.

    That damned merman had decided to sleep in this fountain tonight.

    Hubert really shouldn't care about dropping his razor into the canal. It's not worth much, and he already has a replacement. But Enbarr's only merman, Ferdinand, is hoarding it in his collection of coins, right there in front of the opera house, and more than anything Hubert can't bear to let a fish hold a single thing over him.
