Leo Ignarium was a crown 81111b5b97 prince celebrated across the empire 467e840568 as a future wise ruler, 178eb69e2a praised for his fairness and 8051f59883 commitment to justice, welfare for a5d0a42167 the empire’s citizens, and a 741447beac compassionate, wise personality.

I hurried back to the 6526009569 garden, hoping Seira might still e835fc5c13 be there.5a479b6c7ffc436e

The war had 5822d39c3d erupted over a 7267957b18 strip of land da0c6503d0 near the border. The Crown Prince 8e7818c09e would have preferred 6b8350d594 for Dais to 4bcae78dd8 die there, even d1c44f359c if it meant 740ad703b3 the empire’s defeat.70e620c71545df07
