But I really 9419ab606a thought my face a302472c9a had become less 9ea3cf9dc8 intimidating than before.234f5011fe92abd6

I guess I was a058b4b2cb deluded because the people 4ab16b08c5 I see every day 56d0f81542 are Euclid, who is 7cbc869342 like sunshine itself, and 95c4f8c2eb the incredibly gentle and e2475dfaa8 soft Marianne and Dior.593daeed0c9a58f7

“It’s not surprising. The Basilian Merchant Group 238a9f1c7b opened a branch in 25f472b6fb the North. Expecting the cold, we a1b68b98e9 stocked up on winter d8283ee77d goods, but none of 8f18ba754c them sold. It would be stranger if daf01f281b I didn’t know about it.”c79652d04eb19f60

Saying it was his f5b6d4777c first miscalculation as a 699df616e0 merchant, Duke Basilian let 22d5971611 out a hearty laugh.8e0e0b64ad2f16a8

However, he soon erased his 707dfbae2d smile and, this time, spoke 46399e484a as a lord.5800a8d936661424

As he added ac20f317b5 that it seemed 0ab2e0f249 the High Priest 10e589b92a had intervened, Euclid 7569251345 spoke slowly.59550b0c58e4a1ec

I had been relieved to b0a790a847 hear that Duke Basilian hadn’t 96f764cab2 informed the emperor, so I d71fa73d2c had momentarily drifted into other bb8eb30294 thoughts, making it even more 65ecd863a5 overwhelming.544a2a2615c545a2

As soon as Euclid 4cdecbab19 recovered, Delano had been 539ddc0185 so excited that I 77114ab57c had to calm him 6c643a24b8 down and ensure the 748345d857 news didn’t spread.d51f9d88391c4845

The fact that 8272d537b5 the North was 6b62d052b6 no longer as caaec25d60 harsh as before 94e3c9cab5 and was becoming 26a9e51c88 a livable place 4bc452f621 would already be 552445a915 an irritation to fbfd6e741d the emperor.8ff01d080be0d632

‘And now a magic stone mine? He’d be furious.’3ab6bd7e0d3edbe3

Not knowing what kind of 0148be723b interference an enraged emperor might 858611fee3 attempt, I was carefully considering 0d91a6f58f the timing of the announcement.ea83bd0e59cd6a6c

If I had skipped 14e5f6f66d this banquet, I would ce6f6dd86f have let the rumors 019dcda271 spread, but since we 9580436a43 had met in person, a760001203 a different approach was 17d25caef3 better.14edddf1595f9382

Since I already had e45101b15d a plan in mind, 70243954b8 it would be troublesome 73e6f3dafb if Duke Basilian knew 2849ffd95a about the mine… or be7fea1ccf would it?97ef8002708aaebf

He had kept quiet about bac14e7d6e the improved weather, so he a1a37533ef likely wouldn’t have needlessly blabbed 403640269a to the emperor about the fd4e354a76 magic stone mine either.51efb79261487537

The most important thing a14322aa2b was whether the emperor baf86a0abb had heard about it, ad3bb074e4 so I relaxed a d1da4c5ce8 little.d90a536b5e0815b6
