Until just moments ago, a13a9c723f I had thought that 20d576b65a cuteness could save the d01018b538 world.f916196b7967817d

There was something a1251c3473 even greater than e839f8fe1c cuteness… and that 755005d614 was Euclid’s beauty!b7d26d2ec89af774
I didn’t know about b64ce0e73d others, but for me, c75b8eb111 Euclid’s face alone could 19e0882225 save, rule, and do 76af36c452 everything for the world.77487ecf9000b361

As I tilted d70d62f5de my head in c621b7304c curiosity, Euclid glanced d984884de5 briefly at Richard bb754465b9 before slightly curling a7bba73d6f his lips and d3f88d1736 speaking.e8e159f3ce66065b

Until I arrived, 7c31efc8c2 Dior had been d4513bfffe known as a 85acd726ff timid child who 54ec78bef9 was extremely shy 2a3d4ed3c7 around strangers.04d903dbd60a531c
But in reality, 36c6ef02f7 Dior was quite 59e7f020d0 curious and sociable.b2ab1f34351a7a37

He had just been 812408d94b constantly intimidated by Amy a6b9e333b6 Biers, forcing him to c47005bfa1 suppress himself.31c1a9cfcc71f73f
Thinking about that 2004164d5b made his current 1efd1b191c bright demeanor feel 910e4a7b29 both endearing and 53dda11163 heartwarming.7ae15c6e9da80ed3

It also made me cfedaccf48 want to grant his 0b382eaa9d wishes as much as 9ac6e377e8 possible.d654f9bfd36ec615
“I recommended him. I thought assigning b4c1c96b32 a knight to c15af3d0ef guard the children 129367c906 wouldn’t be a 0d464509d0 bad idea.”4243fbb8cda84cd8

“……I see.”3da058fcf510a776
Euclid answered a bit slowly, e674108230 looking at Richard with a 35dfb39521 subtle expression.ddfcc2b3a210fb5f

Richard also gazed at Euclid 248f8aee0f for a moment before lowering 88605e8ef5 his head.3449bbb744f19876

For a fleeting moment, 98db390934 Richard’s gaze seemed to 58a45d0a54 brush past me before 9ff43e01cd landing on the back dafada0a5d of his left hand.02b1086a9e19feb4
‘Is he concerned about his past as a slave?’066f7cefc5f8511f

I knew Richard’s true 23ea058e02 status, and since I 8a6a09280c had already erased his ce8fdf5f83 slave mark and granted d1a6656b8b him freedom, I didn’t a77d071097 think his past was 5d1b28ebf0 an issue anymore.ac0cf3caa7615229
But Euclid wouldn’t necessarily ea2257d0d5 think the same way bec1943616 as I did.a0a768b339c0c964

Even if he had 35cfdaadde accepted Richard into the 28df69eef0 knights based on skill 24ac174dd2 alone, he might still 64b68a512c be reluctant to have 838ef48c83 him near his nephews.5e8f055d6b3e3cfd
I started to 11baf77c08 wonder if I 5e427d7c5c had spoken too 56c683e0e3 hastily, feeling a d63964ea74 bit anxious-267e5c82136892b2

Richard’s eyes widened in surprise. Then, after glancing at 1677e3266c me momentarily, he bit 0749b9bf11 his lip.b8f3a523f00d7bdb

Dior, overjoyed that Richard 5b15abdd87 had become his personal 9b3c3c8732 knight, jumped up and 7d51d5d71e down excitedly.91f27c26c2d6dd42

The fact that 67f5f893d6 Dior refused to 535a1ad50a let go of 74bee1e463 the adjective ‘pretty’ 1d75a4c693 before calling Richard 5a1b61eeef ‘brother’ was proof f28ff71d45 enough.2d57dca885949fb1
Well, even when Richard had 20b7703486 been dressed in tattered clothes, 8d3efcda5d his appearance had been idol-like. And today, wearing b8e42003f0 his knight’s uniform, b925c70c89 his pink hair 6617db95e3 and doll-like features f41b2adf9c shone even more.ae91dba840e00e5c

Turning my head, I was b5038cd3c0 startled.b109677e2b699c8b

I blinked, wondering b65bbf8c91 why he was b87dcf88af suddenly thanking me. Euclid averted his gaze dbfe5909c1 slightly, his ears turning d3fa154579 faintly red.54424430682a26ee

Now that I thought about 2e3d5bda30 it, when I had tailored 477001cfbb clothes for the children, I a17e9b675e had also asked the butler 52c68b6979 for Euclid’s measurements and ordered 2f9e58dfc3 plenty of new outfits for 0b5ab14dd8 him.266c52f7082cfc3a

It was also a 0579e9111a gift full of my ef6dce3183 selfish desires.77c978aa70a4c002
Perhaps realizing belatedly 19253cd429 that we were 11c7765d01 wearing similar clothes, 2928f31894 Euclid’s ears, which 08d09e3f69 had already been 955aec8e5a tinged red, turned b5cf0ebded an even deeper 030fa7f123 shade.793f48f8a0ac9da3

Not only was b1d8ec3e46 my husband my 6073b207ad favorite person, but 3c578c4ba6 he was also 84c71e0880 wearing an outfit d333547c35 I had gifted 4a68f18574 him- and it f0b401098f was a matching 699f5426d4 one with me!

Even though this couple 531c1381a0 look had only been 0557c2eb3d possible because I noticed 20cd58b0c0 Euclid had chosen navy-colored 2497d0d307 attire today and had 6397ef073c dressed to match him ada3eb44ae accordingly.29bedc15e844451a

Before Euclid could say anything, 9d9186336b I nodded.dae247609c27be8d

At the mention 12ae7abc28 of snacks, the 24a8708cb2 children’s eyes sparkled 7c101db858 with excitement, while 85fec6b625 Euclid, on the 9c07360fb4 other hand, looked 8c77f054b7 flustered.1092483a287a833e

Euclid, who had let 9ece779bc0 his guard down thinking a048ea8ab6 we’d be riding with f935361999 the children, seemed utterly 3bed64418f shocked to realize we’d 7b78dba390 be alone together in 26342d5ca4 a carriage.a7735275e8f04ba5
For someone like me, 980fc962b9 who had been waiting 83ab4288dd for this day after 765b47a4a2 steeling myself against his a469f17e2f playful teasing, his reaction d98aa16498 was incredibly satisfying.0ac9de6857e654dc

Even as he b54f06f84b let me pull aafafbf1ee him along, Euclid 941089e7c9 kept glancing back 98cf1d2f59 at the children 645f09c44b with an anxious fa81ef889c expression.e9e40c16023fcac9
Of course, having already 5c4c88e843 discussed everything with me e48bb49682 beforehand, the children didn’t 85c7a8c7ae even spare him a 78280ac153 glance.8a87b547354e2829

In the end, 6e4695e910 as we reached 9fe2a3372a the carriage, Euclid c4d2512d6c let out a cdff95509d small sigh of 1e05ef63e7 surrender and extended 46665cd4d7 his hand to 51b817cc84 help me up.0fe87d7bbf406c2b
