Started and finished ćčžçŠ since it was short. Wow, now that was a really good short story!
Itâs from Nigelâs POV, set during Kaitoâs time at the Queenâs palace. Man, I remember thinking how rushed his time at the palace felt; weâve gotten a nice number of stories set then. Iâd love to see some of these integrated in the main books! Anyway, same timeline guess as æ±șæ: volume 4, somewhere in between chapters 5 and 12.
Pretty much right off the bat we get a little more insight into Geoffreyâs family, the Rockfords. I actually remember this was touched upon in èȘă, the first F&B doujin, the one with just the one story dedicated to Nigel: Nigelâs from a commoner family, but the Rockfords were actually a step above on the social ladder. At least, that is, until Maryâs reign, when Geoffreyâs father, I believe, was executed for heresy. Apparently Geoffreyâs wealthy enough to buy his way back into status, but hasnât done so. He does have a family crest and motto, however (which I was thinking was the prerequisite for status in this case; maybe I misread?), the motto being taken from one of Petroniusâ works:
Quid faciant leges ubi sola pecunia regnat
Roughly translated as: What good are the laws where money alone is king?
I think this story may actually be set after æ±șæ, thinking about it; Kaito asks about the books that Nigelâs bought since coming to London, and he was buying books then, at least. They fall into a discussion about the Knights of the Round Table and who their favorites are. Kaito answers Gawain, as expected (since this actually comes up in a later main volume), while Nigel answers that his is Galahad. (Who is Geoffreyâs star sign favorite, I wonder?)
I wasnât that familiar with Galahad before, but glancing through his Wikipedia page, heâs illegitimate? Very fitting choice in that case, then, âand is renowned for his gallantry and purity as the most perfect of all knightsâ. 
Nigel promises to buy Kaito a new towel to use, but comes back the next day to find out Geoffreyâs already stolen Kaito to go shopping. :< But this is all setup for an incredibly sweet scene between the two where Kaito says he was waiting on Nigelâs gift of the towel. 
Maaan, this was such a good story. 
So much goodness is so few pages. One thing Nigel mentions in passing here that heâs brought up a couple of times in other stories from his POV that I havenât discussed but thought was interesting: in addition to all of his other hangups related to his feelings for Kaito, one that Iâm wondering if itâll be brought up later in the main series is how he apparently feels that his love for Kaito is âdirtyâ. He hasnât really elucidated up to this point afaik, but Iâm wondering if itâs the gay aspect of it all. Nigel doesnât seem to have had any prior gay relationships, so I could see this being a blocker for him as compared to Geoffrey.
