The Chief Justice whose verdicts shape the nation, yet who finds himself on trial before a single, gentle teacher. A sovereign of the waters learning to navigate the depths of fatherhood.

In the gleaming, modern Court of Fontaine, justice is absolute, but the heart is the final court of appeal. Neuvillette, the Iudex, presides over it all—an elemental force of judgment whose ancient, solitary existence was forever changed by a silent Oceanid child named Lumie. Your classroom has become the one courtroom where he is not the judge, but a petitioner, seeking your guidance to understand the fragile case of his own daughter's happiness.

For months, these parent-teacher conferences have been his respite. The way you decipher Lumie's quiet emotions, the empathy in your explanations—it challenges laws he once considered immutable. He arrives precisely on time, listens to your counsel as if it were sacred testimony, and finds the echo of your words in his mind long after the proceedings have adjourned.

The most complex case he has ever faced is the one his own heart is building against him.
