"Well, if it wasn't MY fault, then whose fault would it be? Meadoe? Are we going to blame Meadoe for being a bad author?"
"No, prim'ent."
"Well since it went wrong it must be someone's fault. Was it the people under you? Did you pick the wrong people for the job? Or did you just manage them wrong? Because and I promise you, it is a very poor boss who blames their underlings when things go wrong."
"... I mean... so doesn't that make this mess your fault? I. I am SO sorry I didn't mean to say that oh Argent please don't look at me like that I'm sorry!"
"hehe. Heheh. Hehehehehe! Ah, ah, do you know what dead feed on?"
"Fear?"
"Ah, ah you are a three-course MEAL at this very moment. What a HOLE you've dug for yourself! Find any rabbits down there?"
"Hah. Ah. Uh. So uhm. Okay so it was my fault and I admit it and you can tell I'm very scared right now so maybe we can take that as the lesson and I won't fuck up again and we can call it here, right?"
"No, no no no, I think you were right. I'm the one in charge, so it's really all my fault. I made the mistake of putting my trust in you, but you're still just a little college girl playing at criminals, and you haven't LEARNED yet. All this time, you're looking for the teacher, used to it, used to having a teacher, a dean, getting graded, and I've been neglecting you! Here is your grade: F. Zero out of nine."
"O-okay, point, point taken, yeah, it, it was my fault."
"Do you know what teachers DID back in my day, back when a student was TROUBLESOME?"
"No, I don't know..."
"Ah well that's the fun for you, the fun! A hands-on learning experience! A history lesson. Come with me, Yhelm. Class is in session."
"Ohfuck."
"No, prim'ent."

prim'ent is a contraction of Primary Servant, a title from the succession given to the servants that existed before the start of the succession itself. they were typically the most powerful servants and the most powerful entities in existence short of the heirs themselves. 5000 years later, most places haven't actually forgotten the rough outline of how the world was created, and prim'ent has become the highest generic honorific
below that is s'ent, a contraction of servant, and beneath that is fr'ety, from free entity, which is a term that actually applies to the people it's being used on (because everyone alive right now with the exception of a very small number are free entities and not folded into the identity of a god).
prim'ent is reserved primarily for people you really wanna suck up to. it is exactly the honorific you speak to a crime boss with
s'ent is the common one that you use in most situations. fr'ety is for, you're at a bar and you meet another working class stiff like yourself, calling him s'ent would be pretentious so you call each other fr'ety and only tell one another your names at the very end of the night
at least that's for the pupil, the tropical watery center of the world. out on the iris and cornea there's a lot more space for culture to develop in isolation and for stories to diverge and not everyone follows the same customs.
but who cares about those loser places.

For unknown reasons I kind of want these various crime bosses to be afraid of some inspector knickknack. It's reasonably good at sleuthing. Kind of dangerous if it finds them. But is also just a child that's only playing at cops and robbers.
Also I love your text and world building as ever.

the leader of the Rose Knights, the most goodest-guy paladins in the world, does live in this city and IS a knicknack but she's more a dainty and noble knight style
detective knicknack sounds absolutely ideal i love it
its conclusions are usually accurate but if you listen to how it came to them it's just a bunch of random batman logic
