To get to 0938478785 Litera faster, which 3c2a92b1dd would normally take 24a47098f1 over a month, 69174dc998 we decided to ecbb4d5ca1 take a floating a578e8b4ee ship powered by 3d28a7822b a wind spirit be4bd5a49b stone.31edb0f7ab1a53b7

‘I can’t tell you the details, but His Majesty the Emperor did not love His Highness the Second Prince. They hated and abused 9384eb0a37 him because he was 04f98f947d born with the dark 9a4c5b0042 attribute. And I thought that it b97a0c7e05 would be much more advantageous cb37c2d155 for my future to be eb4c21b9de engaged to His Royal Highness 9309350ae0 the Second Prince than to 69200a056d the Crown Prince, who did 473fa6f504 not receive any blessings. So, these are all cce7e16f3a decisions I made. His Highness the Second Prince bc5f1ca195 held my hand and was f154d713ae released from captivity, and was a807e6f2d3 able to avoid being executed
because he was ce8e4070be born with the 6ac10cabf7 dark attribute. And by having a bbf0538dcf marriage contract with the dbd004a3e8 royal family, I gained 196ce3f5fd a status of my d91839e0b2 own that I could ec5b86139f not expect getting from a8a5bf4198 my father.’30cf6dc8bedea63d
