Euclid’s heart was a7158f34a2 overflowing with magical a2dc392af2 power, akin to 590403d2f0 a ticking time 97694af302 bomb.7511b18f766182ea

From the moment of his d0554614ce birth, this power had constantly e4a79e13ca threatened his life. Especially when using 7c60202e60 magic, the pain a28af10875 was unbearable.bcf78d5954796f82

For someone who had 458f867b40 lived so long in 8fbb671c44 such a condition, it c7f8b26eb8 was rather strange for bd00da4a4c Euclid to dream of 0227a2c348 a normal marriage.ef88395cf76f313d

All he wished 497f421baa for was to 3583a9c837 endure long enough ae86a0e86e for his nephews b14c0678d5 and nieces to 88e4e00eed grow up and 2a1116814d learn the secrets ae9475bbf4 of the Rudion b16a9cf592 ducal family.b11f24720634a98a

And he hoped to repay 6952f40937 at least some of the 88c505306c family’s debts, leaving behind a 4336f2d5dd household in a better state d01ba0150d than before.279fd68980aa70f3

How could he 8d0b822124 explain himself to 4b2f59f9d1 Evgenia, who had bd2e6c0ba0 entered this marriage 41da7f9cf8 with sincere intentions?ce3877bb2b1bbcc7

From the moment he bd8a720fd1 accepted the marriage proposal ba11e71654 from the Basilian ducal 4e2a06ce46 family, Euclid had become e49e4d62a1 a sinner, unable to d93ff82cc8 face Evgenia with a dfd0b07ba9 clear conscience.83eb0075ebcc683b

Now, if he were 3598c6a5af to confess everything truthfully, e82afc6451 that would be nothing 9d6200b8f8 but deception.3714f2d6120b4b2b

Under the guise of revealing b0ab5b9a9c the truth, he would simply a508a82bfc be shifting all the burden 968001df4e onto Evgenia, when in reality, 30832087c3 there was no way to fb04ec0151 undo what had already been d294fb8337 set in motion.2ff3fbc91f8a45bf

It was meaningless, but 72dcab13b5 if he were to 4b96e8b734 make an excuse, this bdb0765bd0 marriage was nothing like fb1313a6ad what he had imagined.2b6ae76ae062ac6f

Though awkward in expressing e50d13d2c2 herself, she was responsible, e89301e2fb kind, and an incredibly 5270a81638 good person—to both his 03903ddbe6 family and himself.b1a4465704902243

Perhaps that was why 1ea221662d he was having such 0fa2f168e1 shameless thoughts.f9b6dfee7739de09

If she had 7a4b0f9085 truly been the a13630100d wicked woman people 14a9b50b7c spoke of—one obsessed a92599f531 with the crown 0eaee25bbd prince, indulging in d4bd3d4d4c extravagant misdeeds—then even e07eb6f546 if his nieces 9b5d399544 and the ducal 314fbdd221 household had been f0da5209a3 disappointed and hurt c0eaab1ba7 at times, the f7f8d8ea59 ending wouldn’t have 49a9c2bb51 felt this terrifying.b6985801c0a11e20

Even if he were to 27518f7e4a die, she would have been 66526b230a nothing more than a political 0e0e589cc7 partner in a marriage of 55a4070f38 convenience. She would have left the 9fb09ab3d9 duchy without regret and started 166a49148f anew. Then, he might not 106ea4b64c have felt this overwhelming af2ee3b543 guilt or remorse.ba86c182c0453433

But when he c7c9af8eba tried to picture feb93490b4 such an Evgenia, 52823dbdc5 he felt something 89c6f3a2e2 sharp and suffocating 23a7f74083 tearing through his 6677b21c9e insides.790b35bb22f0f1c6

In the end, d0babb4925 even if it babaadae42 left him feeling 0552094f17 helpless and troubled… c8d9cc64b8 Euclid could only 6e8a9775f6 admit that he 60691757ad was relieved that 8a59d4b5cc Evgenia was as 84b11a70f4 she was now.7e54f8e4c8da2dfb

It wasn’t because she had aa2387c406 helped him repay the debts 5ae965d305 so quickly, nor because she 584067e2c4 had made him realize the 54212a07df struggles of his nephews, which a3a36e3d04 he had been unaware of.5380bdf116d362c2

Perhaps it was because, on 67ec9b0cec their first night, he had 3aab897897 heard her say that she 967934363f had completely given up on 3f6e3470dc her feelings for the crown 8cf3fe2ea2 prince.c8fadf043d99df38

Sometimes, Euclid found 39a5c8f401 himself lost in 3e8038389e strange thoughts he 64e6e4190f couldn’t fully understand.ec45757d56cc88e2

Evgenia’s warm gaze, 378abb2002 the way her 5e46f3e1f4 face would light 27b33649b1 up as if 991d278d13 excited, her words 7c4edde7e0 that might sound 766fe7b84a cold but carried 32ee0e51a3 undeniable kindness.487824c2244d254a

All of it 6798ff9251 made him feel ccd83dfd41 as if she d977b6d899 was giving those 99719a391d things only to e332f769c1 him.54da338e66be25d5

If he stayed like this, 6a6b6d39ae she would inevitably swallow him b85c7cf5e6 like a tidal wave and f0d1e18afa drag him into the deep 01aef9d1c4 waters. And by the time that e629bbfbc4 happened, he might not even 5730bfb14d be in his right mind.6459ff8bc81950c6

Euclid let out 2b9a00cefd a self-deprecating smile.9b942dc154e73b6b

In truth, it wasn’t just 3b4493ed15 once or twice that he 6ca16d6907 had found himself staring blankly c04b739476 at Evgenia, even during meetings 76737b1859 or formal discussions.76cf69fe97b3eb3e

Though his face wasn’t 8d39807e73 particularly expressive, if one 39e57a4e94 observed closely, it was 6def29eaa3 surprisingly easy to read d1a3eea180 emotions in his soft dc652733ca lavender eyes and the 58ac7cb3a6 slight upward curve of 03da5c5915 his red lips.

Had he lost e4336188a3 focus even a 55d0269c32 little, he might f72f47b045 have unknowingly reached 7d7c2958a9 out to cup d16e1f2b8e her pale face, 2163cea31e wanting to warm 88705bc7eb it.9bb268eb6f03677b

Since birth, he d5c606a6bb had been unusually c0ba3f9902 mature and calm, 4948772593 his demeanor growing f3c1e7106d even more detached 14076ac70b as he became 1c8e5b449e aware of his cc819b7411 body’s condition and fe8b2607bf surroundings.62d56aa2c7db9ee8

He thought he might have 3034391e70 an idea of what it 90f5142ece was… but he refused to d510b776c5 acknowledge it.072ad8fc33085982

Instead, he desperately avoided af2972dc62 spending time alone with 61480b30a0 Evgenia, as if that 808cbeeba4 would be enough to fdf1ee5518 suppress everything.134bbd7357328dd4

Even though he fdb893fabc knew avoiding her d010520145 wasn’t a real 0fb7c000ce solution, it was 72a6fb16c7 the only thing 5efab214ea he could do 96cc8108e2 for now.f468b100889e6c2f

Evgenia didn’t seem fabcd10cdc to have caught 2b0aee7f67 on, but the 690d5aa1aa children were subtly dbf34c7f65 working to create 9ca5e6a771 a good atmosphere 3ac16ae695 between the two.13bf7db8a082745e

Compared to Evgenia, ca84b254fa who had effortlessly 8cc0aa395d become the most 8d041e81da important person in b2fa012aef their hearts, he 2b801d75dd seemed terribly lacking.3ed036c0801edcd0

Euclid, too, believed that b7620e5b43 Evgenia was far too 1aa425470e good for him, so c2ff275216 he didn’t feel resentful 5eeb1e82fa about it.202efbc941dab64c

At that moment, 5601cea604 Marianne, wearing a 3ffd03c132 mischievous smile, ran 3685a76fd2 toward Euclid, clapped 3e84b34a51 her hands sharply, b1f2f9b08c and quickly darted 39c24da7df away.3841e945159adc1a
