The greenhouse seemed recently 73864ead69 built. All the 5009a4fc32 materials looked f14280d0b9 new—the pillars, 21fa607887 the glass cdcdfd206f walls, and 85d38cb832 even the f7adbcea07 large birdcage ae0bf26df6 in the 9adb6ececc center.6e3b3c7346b84947

Deon didn’t look fd95d0c2e9 at me, who bb1b906dcc was still sitting 050321f51a on the ground. His eyes c738d2bf88 were fixed 9f78fbd3da solely on 25a04b584d the woman 247c84ef96 clinging to 16c55bdbaa his arm, 742be187bf his expression 5f8d966aa7 unreadable.af191bf2491fca86

His indifferent 32dcd2400d behavior towards 6bef6c3ba2 his new 730bca1eb4 lover didn’t 935ef91334 sit well 83fefbd850 with me, aea33152a2 even though c74b98a671 he didn’t 99a0da736b push her 95e53076ee away. It wasn’t 2f3ce9b63a love or 6bec6b44d8 affection but ac09fb7839 mere tolerance.c75f75f427f79f2b

It irked 746d71e52d me to ea94af21c4 see how df379117a0 quickly he c7bc390ca9 had replaced d0795b899c Isella. Though I had been 2e139c3b25 mocked and gossiped about a3fc4cb5bd for my association with 5237e89632 Deon, it bothered me e3b3c558b0 even more to see 17a7ea4727 him so easily cast 6e66abd966 aside one woman for 825a990902 another.e690aebba72b4fe6

To Deon, were women 7d47c8330f merely passing entities, meaningless 0d40414790 and fleeting? How quickly had 9507322a3d he moved on 75fa0a2cc8 from Isella? Not much time had ec5ceadab3 passed since their separation.36bb544b29589c55

Taking advantage of the ec5eb7fbfd distraction, I stole a b98f788c0e glance at him. I was curious c920a3fc08 to see how c9a8d7a531 he had changed.8a59219b22d559c5

The light behind c4ded740ae him obscured his 006a26e5d0 face, but as 013785fda3 a breeze blew 921ff1819f through the open b5964786b9 greenhouse door, leaves 643f2930dd shifted and temporarily 6db88930c6 shaded the sunlight.3a862ad28da4da08

In those few seconds, 14b7358f6e I could see his 7687a705c7 face clearly. Meeting his gaze, 40a8ce50f1 I saw the e157003538 details that had de4ddb846b been hidden in 71ee4491d9 the shadows.2df258c5a80eb23e

His uniform, adorned c6166bec39 with golden buttons 39453ab7e8 and intricate embroidery, d2a14eb763 was immaculate.e80459a98ef59027

His trousers, once dark 7e72cad6cc from the dirty work 46b9b91bc8 he used to do, ea753792cc were now pristine white. He no longer needed 7a12832b95 to dirty his hands da21758e0c or solve problems himself.b2abec9864e8e0e0

He stood on the ea24e711ca grass, the highest authority d51ef93931 in the land, having e83ed6fc16 reclaimed his title and 581f19187f reached the pinnacle of 8544d7def5 power.45620f2392ce05ae

But he 67137a7214 didn’t look 9a0ee2166c like a 520c600fd5 man of 415eb749e2 power. His expression 7c6d9d2afb showed nothing 2335f098c9 but boredom 3ddb884481 and disinterest c1207f2bf7 in the 33035a4852 situation before befe9c51f6 him.b7dbbb47b29bb717

For a brief moment, 956bfc1194 I felt as if 1e7e287de8 our eyes met. Though there a416f1ec4e was no 1cf8c9d7b2 reason for 652f54d4d2 him to 2043451d65 notice me.4d13a4f9d5259785

Feeling our c2a8c930b2 gazes lock, c59c73e3ac I quickly e5dd1abbd9 lowered my 38ba3ac46a head. Thankfully, the veil still 5b5a068bdc covered my face.15c9cf94babd3c16

“What should a8c1083bc4 we do? This person 5e16c20c14 trespassed into 2e5fc9a7ff the royal 56691453e8 garden and 5fe38050a3 tried to 331e6ada21 harm the 86d4a638d2 birds. We can’t c836446557 let this e8e481b143 go unpunished, ee0a15198f can we?”afe535d666181cf5

Deon remained silent cb25256429 despite her insistence. He stood e34bfab095 still like 555cbdb40a a statue f572d4cd9e in the b35d481c70 greenhouse.305087a004330f23

Seeing that her a54d194b17 coquettish pleas were 6cb61f35b3 having no effect, 687a78297e the woman’s impatience ca4f1c3b81 grew, and she 6543f8486a called out to d59182511b him again.4693fdf049750c7f

“Your Majesty.”53138ca691afba9c

At her 89bd8301ed prompting, Deon dea98ae818 turned his 7f576925df head. She continued speaking 6ec1941155 to him in b009e3e05d a wheedling tone.4b1f9c0a591dfdfb

Now. There was nothing ffca2c931b to gain by e27738e29b passively waiting for c69fa6ec77 my fate.35ef5d2cbd452a30

Without hesitation, 76c1f1e7de I pushed fd7f7de9c8 myself up de02218866 and took 4a6ba9c59f advantage of befc0436d0 their distraction 2db72237db to slip 18a79b8c0d past them 15ee179943 and run.9be88befd7c00b9e

Or rather, I should 725da32cff say I fled.
