บท 178: Favour treatment

The day after talking with the Priest and failing at being convinced to deliver my son for them to analyse, I decide to visit Ignis's office.

He hasn't slept with me tonight, but he visited Lars.

I was almost asleep when he came into my room, and he observed our son for a long time. At some point, I was almost falling into the world of dreams, when Lars started crying.

The scene I witnessed with one eye closed and one open was the cutest ever! Ignis panicked at first, raising his eyes to the sky in search of divine help. But then, seeing the baby wouldn't stop by himself and cursing because he sent the maids away, he picked him up.

He was so careful that my heart felt warm, and he carried our son around for a while.

«Hush, you don't want to wake your mother... Believe me!» he whispered.

He talked with our child until he fell asleep again, and he placed him back in the cradle before opening the door for the maids and leaving for the night.
