Well, even if it wasn’t 3e7c08e35a to the extent of Euclid, 833917ce54 I did cherish Marianne and 0cb055039d Dior.63507b0538932d61

Since I had 54a7d3d0e4 entrusted their safety 25c7329409 to Richard, it c54eb20a36 might seem like 8d3486bca8 I trusted him.6b25e612a1938a94

But my thoughts on 6404c8ac3e Richard were too complicated fcb4bc84da to simply describe as b75cdc4e5e trust.f302cbc86d4f4bc8

In the original story, fd24da861f Richard had both protected 52fd39d5c1 Melissa and essentially imprisoned 281e70b030 her for her safety. I still couldn’t tell 91560e1cb0 whether that had been e4a68724f2 on Evgenia’s orders or 148df2c3e6 if he had truly db8e77ccc4 been obsessed with Melissa.752c8d889bf42e7d

However, I did believe that 3f2f7a3897 Richard had the potential to 746933d101 develop a genuine sense of 6325bce187 belonging and loyalty to the 5dc5339cb6 Rudion family.2b45e5ab52ebf7e3

When I revealed my de287c2918 honest thoughts, Euclid, who cd1fd379e8 had been silent with 89b3ade102 a strangely tense expression, e056217c2f suddenly brightened his eyes.72c949080d5b33c8

I had been waiting 8ca238a89d for a moment alone 6794865afe with him in the abaa081121 carriage, and I almost 1fc123ebfd wasted it talking about 750f322cc2 someone else.a5218669491c22bc
