Roberick came to my room 123a6ef29d and asked me to have 048f431b7c a meal with him.0361c44ff286f87d

I tried to erase ff2d80b3e6 the distracting thoughts, but e5fd468e17 in the end I 8f0f3f1ee9 couldn’t sleep all night, 51e854d4c9 so I sat in e0e6eea8d6 front of the table 98e9fc6eab where the meal was f6b28f34aa laid out, rubbing my 6f9088d3f2 watery eyes.345fa1f9b5cc42ee

“His Majesty, the Emperor, has conveyed his wish for the Heilian Grand Duke family to enter the palace for a while. Nothing much will happen, b827d6817f so don’t worry. Now I will never leave 4945f46783 you alone.”05dc3b83019f2cc6

No matter what Roberick dafb6e3def said to soothe me, 6c71f94a19 I picked up my 6a9adb4ad9 spoon with a sinking 080a7dda35 feeling at the news a4a1552e84 that my appetite had 7c7f506a87 completely disappeared.d2a0a0ecd26c3e8b

As a result, the 76678ba492 relationship between Roberick and 168b5c00c6 Chastia was at its 88c0262a3f worst ever.347f76e728896824

When Perion publicly framed me, 732d114cc6 Chastia came forward to support fdd343be25 his claim, and Roberick was 56e285c655 greatly angered by Chastia’s actions.8e316e0b75418006

I don’t quite understand why de89ddcc26 he cherishes me so much 4f597f1bf0 that he treats the woman 3c4ca4ba2e he loved so coldly, even 7dbd0cf275 at the risk of losing 29df78821c all his power and throwing 51ea88050d away everything that was benefitial 245e105889 to him.426f148db071e562

Moreover, since Allea did not 1a68dbefeb show affection towards Roberick as 7286b915ba before, it seemed that their 80801696b5 relationship wouldn’t be restored for 4d92463498 the time being.3f2e3b1b86711043

Maybe that’s why Chastia 2fc29d66d0 would cry while looking 07fc62e651 at Roberick, who was 22224e9e28 cold to her, and c743ec3a3a would often stare at 66e4e1939a me with resentment.181b5bad59435dca

The emperor welcomed b92ae2ad68 Roberick with a c55360455a smile no different 9bdfed51f6 from last time.927bd05413f4f149
