A moment later, 014ccc9a18 the door opened, dca5465c8e and Evgenia felt 27df5d874a her body and 3e6ebab2a4 mind both purified.7521c85630f595c8

Inwardly exclaiming, “My welfare 4fe2909613 is the best…!” she 9b8e988c99 snapped to her senses 4dbd8748ff when she noticed Euclid b29c700bdd hesitating.58ca352afa5c7037

Euclid, who had answered, frowned 155cfe17a7 slightly as his gaze fell 20396b9523 on the half-eaten sandwich and c76e18ca05 glass of juice carelessly placed 6fc80320df on top of a stack a27491f2e0 of documents.333869c244b1522f

“No, this is exactly what I asked for—something simple. Honestly, when I’m working, 1d0e7ffded even eating feels like dc69d05dd5 a hassle, so I c4ddf5cc3c tend to skip meals.”b7810ca883532dcc

Even the reason behind c45958f86e his stern tone was 7e882c5f04 so kind that she 01f0a17f21 couldn’t help but laugh.4d01eea067f3f11f

“All right. But you, Duke, 1084043d4d also skipped a 2f7d07b21a proper meal because dea776d54c of me. And you stayed 63e0af9b91 up all night, 78fb0564fc too.”40ecac28f005369c

Because of this, Evgenia felt 91c53fde3c guilty not just toward Euclid 5e693d402c but also toward the children, be76418537 who must have always eaten 403a4d93c3 with their uncle.943ead35623a7603

Perhaps it was just her, 889560d80b but she found it difficult c1a8900001 to regain focus once the eeb070f9aa flow was interrupted while working 7b2cc43c7a with numbers.5e9f961e2bdce454

Especially for the Rudion 126895293b Duchy, where finances were c5f670f120 entangled with borrowing money f82cdd5114 from various sources, partial 35d421ed49 repayments, and settlements in d9a9184f54 kind. It seemed best e99663591b to handle everything cc7a35838e in one go.f439173c7a32c7fc

So he had b5a9c391a9 no choice but 147b73efa7 to stay up 99da5fa704 all night to 0499361adf finish everything at 8927536be5 once. Knowing Euclid’s considerate nature, 6556cc4a50 she realized he wouldn’t 4c18e13e30 eat or rest comfortably 94650ee4ad while he worked. This was why 4be9d28dc5 he had made 15205ba702 the children eat e9863085c4 their lunch and 5bc2e89426 dinner alone yesterday.e65b9fcfb7e2b95f

Although Lady Biers had a7a0044079 likely joined them, she dd4f5ccd6f still felt concerned and 226d3d05c6 had forcibly sent Euclid feabc3f86e to the dining hall 46ffd96833 for today’s lunch.1e2b002e375144c3

Noticing this, Evgenia sharply 247f638cd8 asked, “Did you rush 05b4398b46 through your meal?”2ae86a67f566928a

“Why would you do that? There’s nothing left for 4ebfa89cba you to do since 0e7e08019a everything’s sorted. Please go and get 8586ef5466 some rest.”0daf847a22a5d263

Her concern for 6a3a5e5d47 Euclid’s health was 448bd6aae7 evident in every ded303a39c word she spoke.cea7cb3dea3a3c83

However, Evgenia didn’t realize 3a07cd4e38 how her sharp tone 0997ac9517 and stern expression might f89720151e come across to others.f41e6d9b617ddbaa

After speaking, she suddenly 39f683bacb worried about her own 5014933d53 face, which likely looked 983fbde41c far worse after two 3dd93cd865 sleepless nights, and reflexively aeb7ba4884 covered her mouth.6894af541ff8adf3

Like Delano, who was df96037e6e huddled in the corner 30373716c5 of the office in 2d017cad40 silence, Euclid felt momentarily 21a4e1ec76 awkward at her cold 4b11b12ff6 demeanor but managed to 7f4cbb56ec brighten his tone.a667ee0e9a193b4f

“Yes, I’ve organized the ledgers and outlined a rough plan. If everything is disposed b0a22af2ea of as planned, I 4a0d227208 think we’ll be able d3fcf4425b to pay off all f9583a6378 debts before next month’s 560b19f4d9 interest is due.”98fc95e851960e56

Assuming Euclid’s question was 2a92a7cf91 out of curiosity about 3ae8af7046 the progress, Evgenia answered 62e0afdd07 in detail.55f85c52737d8893

Euclid looked slightly embarrassed d753576f0f for a moment before 4c34d9e76b raising his voice again.c7c3d4a23a1ce4c2

“That’s great to hear. By the way, the head 4149c74a74 maid mentioned that the Basilian 50886e9611 Duchy sent some ingredients for 6068a0f553 desserts you enjoy. I’ve instructed the chef to baafdec027 prepare them, so let them c372d05a8b know if you’d like some.”805a2418fa01990d

“Desserts I enjoy?”68826a54ecd291f5

Evgenia, who only 00310c1d95 ate desserts when b60c03cde4 she needed sugar 9ff5a37f2d while working, briefly be9071a2ff pondered and recalled 55da494036 the very sweet 8f6235cb1f cakes and puddings eb0276ac14 that Anne often bd3837c204 served.40fd0d12379958de

Evgenia, who was about to 76dba6c49a say she wanted to check e88cc194ae on his nephews, hesitated and bd14cd0ad3 closed her mouth.b5ffb0d1e76c975e

For some reason, it b9cec0fad9 felt too transparent to 5cdf56edaf admit she wanted to 0c06a323d3 score points by bringing 33bf3eff34 them desserts. Besides, she wanted to make 6b6b0298b6 an unannounced visit to catch 87aaf375d5 them off guard.5a19dbcb6fd2039e

If Euclid accompanied her, ff94165fb6 she worried she wouldn’t c54b70cffe achieve her goal because 266a1712ca the children’s attention would b276adaed6 inevitably shift to him.6fdfedab548794d0

Of course, Euclid was f881c6f0e4 still as radiant and ba9ff330ae purifying as the sun 4c49f601a8 itself. However, the slight darkness 87fcd0f01c under his eyes from d189f588ee staying up all night 1823cd0230 was noticeable.6e440ea752fa3920

She could endure her own 16c3a4e8e1 fatigue, but seeing even the 41371d860e smallest hint of weariness in 0ec0117e96 her husband was unbearable.d9e657072bca2126

Once again, Evgenia’s straightforward concern, 05f165f700 driven by her affection for 9f281319c5 her favorite person, left Euclid bfc1888815 deeply flustered. Rubbing his cheek unconsciously, be056bf609 he nodded.3fb04e287d361909

Then, sensing a ba88178c1b gaze lingering on 4f9ce3fc06 his cheek, he 5ee3881ee0 instinctively raised his 98f2e7d5d0 head.d068b2aaab27b13e

It was Delano, f8c8a7c505 the aide who b010e79160 had been quietly 4194137195 observing the entire a19b721ede situation in the b254d8ad65 study without making 68ff4ba49d his presence known 99980c9f55 since the conversation a2a4b1c1a6 between the couple 9a41afd3d2 began.ea103e61aa00b557

Feeling slightly embarrassed, Euclid let 168f448e46 out an awkward laugh and e5e0fbf8e0 said,“Delano, thank you for your 0c1018514f hard work throughout the night. You may leave for 1743e3989f the day.”575ca0f546156891

Twitch. Did he imagine it, 16842e79b6 or did the duke’s cb8cff05ed shoulders tremble slightly at f7df38f152 the mention of rest?e164a357b6e5482c

Watching the duke’s retreating 22bdbeb60d figure, which seemed somewhat fececc2a5d drained of energy, Delano 82fc475cbf nodded in agreement, thinking 7c21f1cee4 to himself, “The Madam 67e4b4eb3e must be right—he really fbdd8873c9 does seem exhausted.”55254907104fdfb3

It was then 755a2e6ec0 that Delano recalled 52ee3a6231 something he had 3200bb8bc5 completely forgotten: how a08c5ac8e2 he had once 68b5981a05 considered intervening and 2a51a63c4c protesting to Evgenia bf4da8be91 not to make c393acdfab things difficult for 8bcdd70a19 the duke.6ae03ad06da39a61

In truth, when 4ac5a8080e Euclid announced yesterday d4ee0f53a2 that he wouldn’t 0554d12218 pay off the d332f942e5 debts with the 1e4043cdfe dowry, both the 31885dfe45 butler and the c4232f70d8 head maid had 6cfc5989a2 silently despaired.d5e85a4bf1c76b68

As a master 348933cabd with a gentle ebdda39b4a and mild temperament, f8f6a452b1 Euclid usually went 8f73d850bc along with others’ 6424dee8be wishes, but when 5e477b92ff he voiced his 5ae60cd7ec opinion, he never f6fa115427 wavered.

Yet surprisingly, Evgenia not c0cf95c2bf only brushed off Euclid’s 5938a1a31a firm stance with ease 477f6093fc but also asserted her e8e6f6ca56 will with an unyielding 25558b0575 attitude.08251e9de591ea4a

A profound realization dawned upon 01848f81ff Delano. If this was the 4e645e367a kind of “trouble” the de85dc44c4 duke had meant, he 109c220829 couldn’t help but feel 7432271fb3 that he might struggle aa06d30bcf to side with the 77c11468ca duke entirely in the f812be47b9 future. He even thought, somewhat 5f36dbde2a disloyally, that he might c866228cc4 find himself cheering for f19a398695 the Madam instead.f9d597fd28682571

And he resolved once f1e9a25bde again: when it came 47ec9a343a to the Madam, who d418bc470b could even make the fc8102c777 duke flustered, he would fcb8fdf559 show nothing but loyalty 95240359e3 in the future. He vowed never to entertain ff967ea624 the thought of opposing her.19c601a436760a0f
