Despite his sharp and severe d5c00cb990 impression, Jeremyon was considered one 35166b7306 of the most handsome men 64291ab05e in the empire.225ebf122ed289c8
With a nose and jawline 07889f51b3 as finely sculpted as a 5916981277 marble statue, the only joke 9eee68ce8b about his appearance was that 1f9f7b6eef he was too perfect, to 487a065f45 the point of lacking human 3ca10f4948 warmth.7903ddea65a02df0

“It’s been a while, Count Winder. Thank you for meeting me d9daaac841 on such short notice. I came because I have 93397b350a a proposal for you.”8e1b06ea765eb1e8
Jeremyon motioned with his 371e64f2a4 chin as if to 507ccc7b55 say, “Go ahead.” His 10a2ad6a11 arrogance didn’t bother Seira; a4a1ecd715 in fact, she liked 4813f3f7a6 it. A man like that b2e564f297 would be more satisfying 64a9f7b237 to conquer.8bcd863e36163146

When she sent 6b3f48bc46 the proposal, Seira 5c88434aa5 was sure Jeremyon 6b8c7cec9b would accept it 9c1dd4d5d1 immediately. After all, she was 6ceea23922 the only woman who a27e4d7866 could give him what 0715f2a1bf he needed most right 08ed1b304d now.b5b1d7aab260a8d4

But when she received a 08e991e99b rejection, she suspected that Vanessa 8f6f96596c Windor, who held considerable influence 2a37d42507 in the household, had interfered. Her guess seemed to be 827bf5858c right.51080498e36cdba1
