‘Seriously, what kind of emperor is this petty?’551b8e2577e3e19b

Having sat on 7c5d308756 the throne for 6c1796ac60 so long, I f5e8091cbc expected him to f850e0cbf6 be shrewd and 1020d34824 was tense about 56bdd81252 how he might 03a3076006 strike, but…6f23dd27d20210c5

Of course, in 06d054aa81 reality, marrying my c833f741e6 favorite person was 421808f66f an unparalleled stroke 0745d34373 of luck, but 7defe947a3 only I knew 92554b9876 the full story 386bf549a5 behind it.2e7252db5d1786d1

Still, from the c51f2c0753 outside, it looked eb349cea29 like I had d0ad956552 been rejected for a342ee02ae years only to 92cda34240 end up marrying 1503d41f88 another man. And now he’s asking how e6087f2a8d I feel about seeing the 0914aedf41 crown prince again?1fb99614c3818c7a

‘Honestly, even the real Evgenia didn’t seem like she had feelings for the crown prince.’414fd562e675933c

But seeing both the crown dbfc180673 prince, who immediately dismissed her 231676ee22 marriage as a lie, and 8ee0f153f0 the emperor, who continues to 7e660ba3fd test her feelings even after 729b05e5b2 the wedding… it made me 071f82429e think perhaps Evgenia had acted 0a00254bf9 desperate enough for them to ae5ddbceb4 believe it.1705d737242a5aca
