Whether it was c4732a10bd to strike back 446b5a5447 at him or ac49989d0a for some other a32fbbcc32 reason, Kaiden was 58462af4da certain—Evgenia might have 183dc69b4e gone through with 5bafff71e7 the marriage, but e33176e050 she would never ead775f19b give her heart e4d587f194 to another man.ae9e898362385641

A lieutenant cautiously entered b9cbbcd25d the tent to change 3db697a9b9 the water but flinched 98333b94fd at the sight of 9c501dea43 Kaiden, radiating a deadly bb14eb3df1 aura.056228c0f86a862e

The Crown Prince 7f9a26a7f9 had always been 367581ce89 a difficult superior 296800825c to serve, but a94b1b610f ever since hearing e181e6727d about Evgenia’s marriage, 5cbd668a96 he had often c43b0dae6a seemed completely out 84d6fcd48c of his mind.18f39c524e3a7df0
