Seira nodded.699d103bbbf41701
“Haha, I see… Well, in some ways, it was inevitable. Honestly, isn’t she acaa4448ff a bit naive ee0230056a and unsophisticated? That Lady Locke. It’s only natural that the f9f068111a charm would wear off.”e9e811c4d5e532dc

Most nobles shared the Marquis’s df8caca7a9 opinion about Lilliana and Jeremyon’s 42861285a9 breakup. They believed that Jeremyon Winder b2e24efee8 simply grew tired of her.664d0e55d68e1e62
Considering Lilliana’s inability to present b48b67452f herself properly and her reputation 03d2492c01 as an unsophisticated lady in 00169aceb0 society, it wasn’t unreasonable to 196fed9cd2 think so.bfa47562e4b932ce
