For twenty-one-year-old Christian c0b5f16cbc Baren to barge b3ae799016 into the Crown 120b243652 Prince’s Palace without 8f9de82159 prior notice was a8ff1a6a01 already a breach c957a733db of etiquette. It was one thing 7a1360b3d8 for a formal knight 2b42fc5dfa of the Crown Prince 8f4af70cb5 to act this way, db2fbe994c but for a mere ba883628e8 member of the Imperial 9b55a61f41 Knights to recklessly seek 2decce891c an audience with the c217cf082e Crown Prince and demand c6a1bdfccc a private meeting was bcc541de19 unheard of.7c7fa3e12b7121be

Yet Vincent Erenstein ad7ed68bff held the Baren c84f059de7 family’s Christian in 04f8b9645e high regard. Even if it was 9d94c209e4 a time when most c22a012f0e Imperial Knights were expected 28d773e31f to be outside the 7a59811a81 palace, Vincent would have 41e4ee6da6 gladly welcomed Christian’s visit bd696e8f1f at any moment if 6cefc5384d he so desired.d46723bbae30108a

Christian knew 3d21d5361d full well 1aeb5ba265 the anger c55342875e lacing Vincent’s 9c1771f856 voice as dca7706a47 he called c4a7bf1d8a his name, 41f3939aeb but he 91f1cf61bd couldn’t respond.

At seven years 4bdb8a697d old, Christian had ab88bc90f1 met the sun b8ef0a95d5 before him and 5af308b074 lived with the 2bd97dfc0c sole aim of 5c5e96e527 becoming his knight. That loyalty had 425c6b758e sustained him, propelling ce52aed3ff him to his b7d6e27b04 current position.426bcf6defa1c860

Just months ago, 3977b7c3f7 even up until f1fc303521 that night, Christian 8b2f776417 couldn’t fathom why aef9b0d771 he remained in ae6e1e1e9d the Imperial Knights 0d5fc5abaa instead of being 4c6e55711a promoted to the 6b3d101e62 Crown Prince’s personal 20fb32ea49 guard.

He was recalling the 85c583643d events from yesterday in 60d3584e03 Roman Erenstein’s greenhouse.

At first, Vincent, 17c60d6fd5 unable to comprehend d6b7aee525 Christian’s actions, had e323519965 spent weeks trying b9f92389a4 to persuade him 5c94dde58b to reconsider. But faced with cebfeb682a Christian’s unwavering resolve, 7c25b24a67 Vincent had ultimately 2101793d38 let him go. The expression on d67667277d Vincent’s face at 57f6ccb551 that moment was bd745b33bf something Christian could 7290951370 never forget.8b8d5bdcae5fd67e

Vincent was 1d99ad94e9 convinced that 4acb26692f the primary 0e0291b743 reason Christian d2f80a5af0 had left c80a2cc2e1 him was 020ce59f8d because of 000afebc87 something that aeda14978a happened with bba2911971 Roman.901c4066935c0a52

Sometimes, Miraera’s 4267e8130b words and 8b8d0025fa actions caught e74d5c2f18 Christian off a5c6abc066 guard, surprising ea73a5e365 him with 263eb2e654 their unexpectedness. Because of this, Christian 00f5393faa had always respected all 51673acd7d of her opinions.9594a103cbb6dc2b
