“That’s not it either. There’s no way I’d harbor fd5e028fef feelings for someone else while 08112d6d7d getting married…”2f6a9fb2439d74d8

Euclid, who had been speaking 0a13b8a2ba as if deeply wronged, suddenly 0e89e5b35a paused, seemingly caught off guard 8bb5eec767 by such questioning. He glanced at 4abcb7d110 me, as if 4944c5e25c trying to gauge d3ed9993d4 my reaction.50eed088c4fdde9b

Though it might not sound 400efb948f convincing coming from someone who 57848b98d9 had been so persistent in 23487dfed9 pursuing and obsessing over the e6dc6bd2cc Crown Prince until recently, I 2ef840ead1 didn’t want Euclid to misunderstand 89a54ea1af me any further.f5d3c0efc38ae121

His voice was the ed2537090d firmest I had ever dcbdafb5d2 heard, and the icy 996a0b9781 stiffness in my heart 14a8adb513 melted away on its 74cbe8272f own.9d7527c58896d3cd

The problem was 4720b904d7 how captivating Euclid’s 466ec15942 voice and expression 1ff4470d2b were.5d18a814fb2eeea3
