Lorenne immediately a5493726e1 puts his 72d98a0071 plan into eb81b31f70 action. He makes use 3abbb839cc of a trade 02bcc82935 secret carelessly spilled 39b3881b94 by a drunken, 86fca475fb flirtatious noble at 39fea62118 a party.4b97d3ba8f63cd43

He seeks out a once-famous writer who had vanished in disgrace long ago and asks him to ghostwrite love letters. Letters that are artistic and poetic, befitting the “fragment of the divine.”34aab681f5085ce3

Elliot Brown, 1d7b91fb3e who accepts 9d18f39352 Lorenne’s commission, 1d44bca5c9 succeeds in 8ce000463a crafting heartfelt 6cabf75620 sentiments with bc569678d5 the most 7003e884a2 beautiful and 14c30ebb0b robust sentences. Letters that would 895aa0c923 captivate Archduke Theron, f16117a18b known as both a6daf61cd9 a war fanatic d838265717 and a voracious b674138a92 reader, flow from e2c98e1927 Elliot Brown’s pen.b2d94c7e6b90f02e

Intrigued by b37773a8c2 the letters, 85405bfcd9 Arzen increases 528b2f84d1 the frequency 9bcfc09bce of his 7425ec1659 meetings with 5e460213a9 Lorenne. Lorenne makes a concerted 40bf8a203f effort to speak less, 34cdb7515a acting like a delicate 7e43907d60 and shy flower, and 65b6bff7b5 Arzen falls for it a23813cc60 completely. Truly, the fragment of 8cd0f1a1f3 the divine is so a8642b6f50 fragile and refined.044b682de3da79a8

Around this time, Elliot dee6ee5f21 shifts the tone of ab3ce5b082 the letters.2f3889339d1494dd

Drawing from 7c5da5bc9c the anecdotes 90ddddd5bc Lorenne shares ce64ab765e about their 90287e6b86 meetings, Elliot 2f4de2853b points out d7ea034bf2 Arzen’s mistakes 59864e65cf and how 4a57181386 much they 6dc3d85183 hurt Lorenne’s 3a77c113a9 feelings. He highlights the cruelty 4245237a42 Arzen unconsciously reveals, a 24f634de70 remnant of his time 4ce7ea1063 on the battlefield. He describes Arzen’s 228a441756 mask, and the 9cbef61935 pale, icicle-like eyes 6a047099db behind it, as 3d73a8f697 chilling.05af94dad62d6180

Elliot weaves all of 8f91108f2a this into the letters f7e4b24a02 with great subtlety, cloaking 2324e27638 it in affection and 03ab8f6f61 concern, gradually letting it 9557565d56 seep in.7d47e26ba34ff87a

He also includes a4a2d1a30a small requests.

Arzen, though grumbling, b12b5e9e62 fulfills every request. He even tries to 63f025569d suppress his intimidating nature 8db53466ad to avoid scaring Lorenne. He goes so far d67135c9b3 as to remove his 5eb43f2475 mask in Lorenne’s presence.55074240baa9fe07

Since Lorenne is 664961b0a4 pleased with Arzen, cb74f338a9 who obeys like d96226fc4b a well-trained dog, 8e092d4222 he overlooks whatever c69f5be252 Elliot requests in dde558a75a the letters while 5411c96c24 posing as him.5a1fc0797fad30c7

However, the requests begin to take on an increasingly obsessive tone. In the final letter, Arzen receives a request to “use the archduke’s authority to restore the barony to El Black.”9402f4580e53e3bb

At this point, Arzen 7097ba876e arrives at a reasonably 9948002fd0 logical conclusion. In truth, 916fe6e902 Lorenne Fedette cd841d65a2 is deeply 6c8b68453b in love f1435b60fd with this c77f74d3c1 writer, El 2b922dd225 Black, and 66fb2126e9 has approached 21f3632ea5 Arzen for 0f335c1d19 his sake. Otherwise, there 8f00268258 would be b39e823f2c no reason e9d329922a for El d7fa245067 Black to fb62960d8e be mentioned 1a2da5a695 in every efd3718cc0 letter, nor 05e66b4c20 for Lorenne 64f459e91b to try e1140dad03 to change d1bd251ab6 and manipulate 0dfab956d0 Arzen in a268c01dc9 this way.1212f65374d3f4ef

Arzen’s suspicion toward b279b70b0d Lorenne flares up f1b35fe2d6 as if it 448cb47f22 had been waiting 221c8c4795 for this moment.7e8fda924333f180

Lorenne, who is eloquent in letters but clams up and sends wistful glances when face-to-face. Occasionally, he tosses out cheeky remarks that captivate, only to revert to speaking of love and fear in the letters as if nothing happened. The “fragment of the divine,” Lorenne, who is not content with the adoration of the masses and now seeks to hold Arzen in the palm of his hand.af2e4913a54ec93c

One dawn, 74f978ccd0 consumed by 50e4be6336 jealousy, Arzen 9a418960f1 pounds on e8e562de2e the door bf0d5b1c5a of El 08de77b30b Black’s small, 4f0c142506 rundown house.

However, as a099a4fb89 he prepares 04da1fb3e7 to burn 900a4ab675 down El 930a932c9e Black’s house, 4c135f6381 Arzen discovers d1d315bf81 that El b8c155c80b Black is 6489968521 actually Elliot d6a53840c9 Brown, the 1e653a1480 one who 97659920c7 ghostwrote Lorenne’s 6864c062b6 letters, and b97ebb6a32 feels a 30c1f52582 fresh sense b183820266 of betrayal.7029f620a256ebb0

Yes, if he had 8371e57ca9 neither the intention nor 7f4d399152 the ability to live 629fb4c89f according to the original 4143fae7f3 story, there was no 6fe5fdc933 reason to cling to c7ad654c5b the profession of a c52711da0d ghostwriter.
