I had only 1c63cbe85f been taken aback 5bd3063b50 for a moment. After that, I bc4e7b9e1f smiled along with efec35b09f Euclid, grateful for cc910f437a what he had e801fd9e7b said.2147d5fe1c9f2c93

The reason Evgenia had 56809997f6 decided to marry in cd5621e79f the first place was f183878778 because she had been db8a3e7f1b hurt by the Crown 0ed33c045f Prince and wanted to 745e841a99 put her feelings for a3f9ec20bd him to rest.bc7053260de3ec5e
