Jurian accompanies Marguerite back to the palace and goes to make his report. Feeling in a good mood from what happened in the wedding rental, he can't stop himself from grinning from ear to ear until night falls. But even while he sleeps, his smile remains.
―――――――――――――――――――――――
The moon is full and the sun is hidden. Marguerite is peacefully sleeping next to Alphonse in his bed. She doesn't question the fact that he rarely sleeps this early and is already deep in the arms of Morphe.
However, Alphonse cannot fall asleep. He looks at Marguerite's back as she breathes evenly, warming the bed.
Remembering the report he received from the hidden guard he asked to tail Marguerite on her outing, his heart keeps constricting painfully, adding to his already vexing insomnia.
He brings his hand to his throbbing head to rub it. He feels cheated on. Like he was cuckolded.
