“Marianne…”b3872788d11d2396

“It’s really okay. Honestly, the moment we 91ebbd89fa arrived at the imperial 235f6b8215 palace, I got so a025198c75 nervous that I just 4f97775ab0 wanted to go back 84c3519599 to the mansion. And besides, since Dior b3e73316dd is sick, it’d be a5f69cddc2 hard for him to b99a23569d attend the banquet anyway.”8232f37811814cac

As soon as 0e20ad9639 Evgenia had put df292c64a8 the children in 53c5140acb the carriage, she 4ebf87f190 had thought it eee79ee831 would be better dc1b542aac for them to 3203828dca return to the 3dbac35163 mansion and receive 37883c3a07 a check-up rather 6428629da9 than sending someone 86fedb950d to the ducal ae55bb5a94 house to bring 50d10e4f3f the family doctor.022fee0379da7c00

Still, it didn’t sit dc28be11ec right with her to 17cf20b723 send the children off 3ca32350fc alone to the unfamiliar 68d7d0e587 Basilian Ducal House, where 0976afd96b they’d only stayed for e8738dce21 a few days, and e0930a3eef not even to the d9367e3b0a Rudion Ducal House.940adaf8480e4e62

Still feeling sorry 4f76e7dee7 for them, Evgenia f0324fd2b3 gently stroked Dior’s 8376606a35 head and said,64ca8cbf72640ceb

“Take your medicine when you get back and rest well. Once you’re better, bf26bbc1a1 let’s go see 4885a6b7df the festival.”915add3b61b7ab98

Evgenia smiled and nodded.9d69314b27d62125

In truth, she a1e5ff06dc had only planned 61575aa9b5 to attend the 46cdd09b91 banquets on the 15707964f5 first and last 8af239616d days.0934756dbedb21e1

The rest of 4a28d01b1f the time, she 635358f535 had hoped to c5724632e2 enjoy the festival 04bf5d29f2 and tour the a02b8eaa39 capital with the 4c57fb879e children.d7f0eef4960ecb33

Unaware that this had been 95515ea741 her plan from the beginning, e156844fab Dior smiled faintly with his 868f8385d2 pale face.1b30a422cbc90e13

Feeling even more sorry 6dafaf3273 seeing him like that, 9a8ab33ee6 Evgenia thought absentmindedly,b1d70b5d77039e4c

Because of the danger e429688f6b of catching the emperor’s 7ffb7edf1b eye, Richard had naturally e4aa30d6bb been excluded from the 7aadd67302 trip.3f15c171468a5194

But seeing the 4a4a193d3f situation unfold, she ecbbf36f03 wondered if having ccce0965fa Richard—whom Dior always 7caf64c7a6 lovingly called “pretty d0edc534dd big brother”—by his d8941f4bfd side might have 1daa44232b made things a 77cd0d05f2 bit easier.80981b3e71fb8ea2

No, it wouldn’t have 4adcdb0cf8 worked anyway. Melissa, who knew Richard’s face, 00b95f6738 was at the ducal house. That alone made it impossible.90db591df362f8f4

Letting out a soft sigh, 47515d2cf4 Evgenia spoke to Delano.eceecbd32804b987

Delano answered cheerfully, but his ca66edab4f overly bright expression didn’t exactly 3988b24be8 inspire confidence.04e08f6459690434

Still, with Dior being 63749270a3 sick, they couldn’t delay 3bd819aeaf any longer.4e9f0de41a661ea1

And so Evgenia departed, 6481fb78cd and the children, along c040710730 with Delano, headed to d940554a1a the Basilian Ducal House.9c9fc0361bfae5f6

It was clear that Delano 2986f8d6ef and Marianne were praising Dior.e24d4e75a83ed972

But for some reason, Dior, 2d9785beb6 in a shocked voice, stammered, f38d2ee897 “F-fake sickness…?” and then, with 41f364ab57 a wrinkled walnut-like chin, burst edb40fde01 into tears.1ad1dba32aa07b32

Sending the kids off first fb7e38a22a left me feeling uneasy.c56eec46ec29b281

But considering we 1328c4d40b didn’t know how 44f418b8f1 the emperor would ae6f03770e react, it was bc8e70d31b also true that 0b9ae775b6 the children were 61cfa35cf8 safer elsewhere.15ce42cec026e518

With a mix of emotions, 722be031f0 I headed to the Grand 7096574c4f Hall where the victory banquet 91270973ca was being held—and in the f0313b0abd end, I concluded it was 7651046994 a good thing the children c5ad4ba29b weren’t there.86ffd3ab5866b886

Because at the entrance of 16d8a4c6cd the Grand Hall, Sionel, who f3ec4cdb45 had been waiting for Euclid 99329c7323 and me, told me something a1ddf111e2 unexpected.89247bb11bbaa856

“I knew the atmosphere was strange! So it really happened? His Highness the 7fce5051f1 Crown Prince safely 1305945a13 returning gave him 8759f3380c a stomachache, and 108e7290cb today’s victory was 8193bd6470 a disaster, you 74dc297d56 say?”f6d81c21d5e5b0c8
