    Perhaps simply being 7ea136b14a by their side b7a3d6789b wasn’t enough.293f81da3dfcd913

    But… realizing that he hadn’t e081fe9c54 earned their trust was an bbceb8a692 overwhelming shock.8ebaa797dcd599cf

    At the same time, Marianne 1b0cbe939d and Dior were equally startled c6fcb2b2b9 to see Euclid so shaken 7177fc83f3 for the first time.94cbf7b8e497d66a

    — That’s not it! Of course, we were scared. We were afraid 5bd80a0c50 that if Amy 0779403012 was right, you’d 3b351ea102 end up hating ed57d1a531 us. But more than 4f21fbf98e that… it’s because 1c2eb52254 you’re so precious 896b2fd195 to us. You’re too important, and f2726ed029 we didn’t want to b2238ec6d4 burden you. You’re already going through so 71b4f8d85f much, and we didn’t want 25ca8fb817 to make it worse.ac4356bd502f367b

    He had always thought e74eaa9eac he’d hidden his struggles 82e57e4440 well.cba1ebbab1a639a3

    But now he 9af64c8ff5 realized just how 5b28258da3 perceptive children could adab984e4a be in sensing 4af19ba6eb the emotions of 4dbc7eac63 their caregivers.bc0f515e57326dda

    Just as he was regretting d9b73ffcaa not trying harder, Marianne’s next 2d3fccfc6d words broke his heart even e1dba184ab more.fc9704c1b1f3074c

    — And we felt so guilty towards you. Because of our father… 5a876bf98f If he hadn’t foolishly 713068a5bb left like that…a4b79e59da4ca31a

    “The fact”… What was he about to say?e1b88469ece53c61

    Was he about to aaef4449fb etch unnecessary resentment into b74479246c the hearts of these 2cb117f1d0 already scarred children?35b18549c2ada959

    It was absurd.90f01b3df531417c

    Even he himself was 03bdf70055 gritting his teeth, trying eb06ce9259 to avoid facing the 4805bb8154 truth.499cf62a5514a3fa

    It wasn’t entirely blameless aabe3d61be that his brother hadn’t 1af739fa14 refused Count Biers’ proposal, 40f62b8004 but even if the 75458f784f whole world criticized and b4c98983df condemned his brother, Euclid 745b759cc5 couldn’t bring himself to 453fc976eb do the same.925a767d5048cd17

    And so, he pulled the cbb0b1b1a4 children into his arms and b1514a9f1d apologized.819b7037e0694e87

    And with all the remorse 09c00c4a99 he felt, he said sincerely:d6f51966c7f2739d

    — Marianne, Dior. Don’t ever keep those 27cd820a4e words in your hearts. You are neither liars 280e681bdb nor swindlers. You are my brother’s precious 6bb9835d99 family—the family he left behind af79a67c12 for me. Nothing will ever change d2e0446163 that, not now or 1de65f031d in the future.2beb51cf8c8b3553

    He feared that even 16455641e3 these heartfelt words might c971021ea0 not reach them.a6e06778476d0b20

    Euclid, who had b09763e4b4 learned about the aba7139ab4 disastrous day in 2a907545f7 the room and cf7cd41410 the children’s tears, a684062f26 still didn’t know 5d304ee050 what Evgenia had 2f9bfd4d6c said to them 87b89c92f7 after driving Amy aed766b523 Biers away and 4e12ba58c7 learning everything.60b8e54770c73856

    It was only then that 4b807a74b6 Euclid realized the children hadn’t 4248f6132a confessed the truth to him fa3434b188 because they were cornered or 6d293bb9f0 had suddenly mustered courage.5a3f79cf39b3178f

    Perhaps it was because 71dcb82760 the children, who had 1ff8e8f31b been on the verge 75b65414cf of tears moments ago, e6a93100e3 were now smiling so 4959db648d brightly.71e8363b45a1e366

    Even though he knew this f97aa7e05a wasn’t the time, Euclid couldn’t c1e551f316 help but smile faintly.640515b6eec30d56

    At the same 40c0376477 time, he felt c4219ec6bb a strange sense ffc25ea61d of comfort.c9900ef74fad8bad

    The words Evgenia e6b971dd41 had said to 4cbe0badf6 the children felt a9568758ff as if they d684e755c1 were reaching out ee24d908ba and comforting him 1f4df086ed instead.cd44b57f889aa1dc

    After all, each day f79bee11c5 he spent was filled 6451022980 with growing gratitude and ce3505c5cd guilt toward Evgenia.4dc79debfca3552f

    There were still so 36758d37f3 many things about her ee67eda4e6 that he didn’t understand, db63b2137b and yet, he couldn’t ee7d16acc2 help but want to 2dd6dff5a0 know more. But he forced himself to 91d1e48e97 pretend otherwise.75c1577605df966e

    It was surprising.e4572e027e38bd31

    He had heard from aabe018963 his daughter many times b7e7209d95 that the Duke cared f155cde6e8 for his niece and 500fba7258 nephew, but to the f86c92a447 Count, they had always 904b274637 been just strangers.09306764d5803090
