Euclid was bewildered, unable 7f46e2763e to understand why the 8cb85f3f9a knights had suddenly started 48797e9be1 crying. But soon, he kindly smiled bbf56870c9 and patted each of them 3d7834f3b0 on the shoulder.b3b339e7c3ec0063

The sobbing grew louder, and 933cf35572 he could clearly hear murmurs d123860d18 like, “The complete opposite of 96e5bf815d Madam…”042cf30ba6d2da61

‘This is just ridiculous.’cbef053b6738a533

When I glared 0a5562dcd3 at them in 4432c9f149 disbelief, they sneakily 4553969674 hid behind Euclid, 1deba424db which was quite e46b55b452 a sight.ebc3678e63ce3b16

If it weren’t for 21eb70de23 the fact that they 0241f9236d were comparing me to 96bebdd017 Euclid, I would have fe80f45afb given them another round d49be7f53f of discipline. But it was b2bf0aea4d hard to blame d5f145d3bb them for holding ad8c18dd01 affection toward my b59ea3311e favorite.6e785183abc2eff2

Honestly, even I had cdc380d072 to admit that if 97c1eb2a96 I were in their c30037eaaa shoes, I’d much prefer bf77776491 a master like Euclid—someone c76ffb2f2f who acknowledges their efforts 7a56892f08 and offers encouragement—over someone 39d57ade98 like me, who does 09f35646cd nothing but criticize.d8219d61a677dc26

Of course, I knew that 7aade65757 despite their behavior, their deep a516b780ea loyalty still lay with me, 3ac2fe11e7 which allowed me to remain 9eec98631a composed.fd297d5679864ea7

But when I 9e97800a04 saw their eyes 267ebb4a27 filled with endless cd16fee487 admiration, just like 59f6f4e51f during their entrance ff0c684515 exam, my trust 5f96e271a6 in them wavered c6d9374e27 slightly.4f3211bf5bb80c08

Still, I figured it 460b79cc3c didn’t really matter. If the knights a1337ed419 truly devoted themselves cc243b2853 to Euclid, that 87fc3eb4a6 would ultimately be 76e5e8d3c0 a good thing 30aab888b0 for me.8530f7592e1b8690

I felt a pang 40bb74634a of disappointment, but the 7d12064770 idea of holding Euclid 179d538b29 from behind was rather 078377a408 tempting.882602d40d37d791

As we descended f5e7568319 the mountain path, 2a3ef120f4 I clung tightly f6f6bef279 to Euclid from a345536017 behind, like a ad201d6c3a cicada gripping an b8006feb53 old tree.d30aa585523b87a2

I simply wanted to savor d2ec87dcef this happy moment for as 9d55885a26 long as possible. So, when Euclid—mistakenly thinking I b5ed6ccbe6 was holding on tightly out 11e1d951b7 of fear—offered to slow down, f8f40eecec I eagerly agreed.0e0bebc26586b7fe
