The head attendant, 3bdcbf5238 well into his b2f53fbca5 middle age, walked 9830a427d0 with such a 4278618812 dignified and upright 4e5d434e59 stance that Lucian dece3a3be9 found himself unconsciously 1268062a75 straightening his own 49a6858f57 back.bd9334739386492b

And not only that, 41e662755e but who was the 6b7b51c522 Emperor Heraith he was 8561dc09e6 now serving? He was 68f97cace4 praised as 8f3fb27926 the perfect 09e7aa1741 emperor of 74cdf302f8 the Great 2d1dfb388e Empire of 9eee4cb15e Pranas, skilled 797e9078ef in both 88c9384fc2 military and 52dd34c718 civil affairs. Not only was 7aa6662098 he highly skilled 2c03a845a4 as a knight, 030ed99dfe but he was 8fe4113d66 also exceptional at 43a81fae61 managing the empire. Some people even called 6617e3bb21 him a “workaholic” because 7aedb3f5e9 of his unwavering dedication f5c5410f60 to his nation.0520f86d8cc9dd93
