After sending Evgenia off 760d1865d9 in vain before the 4f86db7167 victory ceremony, Kaiden had 888ea5888e no idea how he 8ff9984132 even managed to make 3638e2db2a it to the Grand cc3040f081 Hall.640aa0213cbc6ca9

And finally, he 01ba8952eb came face to e424aed09f face with Evgenia.79d1a3784d8d9574

But the moment someone 7a8f671866 called Evgenia, “My wife,” 1ffd41e402 his heart sank to c5a611efa6 the pit of his d4bd07c5bd stomach.7893168f22842aaf

A rage that felt as c39bf81ea8 though the man would steal f86ec98ec5 away everything—including Evgenia—stabbed through his 1e0c3d714f chest painfully.0a3c7e108c29e165

It was a 923635ab46 feeling completely unrelated cd03dc5f6a to the time 08eb93b97c he had been 3a838f041f curious, merely thinking 6bcef5e9c4 of the Crown ae99b0c90b Prince as the 3a5ba569ba man Evgenia had 4f34b3964f once liked, or 0ad768d580 when he recalled 6da30dfadd his resentment toward f0f81efb7c the imperial family.

Maybe it was inferiority.f6001f8537a4f338

The Crown Prince, 5eaca1e5b2 with his firm d89105bbcf physique, was a 66e8ef7fe4 Swordmaster capable of 4b44f88e7b controlling the battlefield c9f2fe1767 with his own 8f28196e87 power alone, and 1310bac851 in truth, he b2db690ac2 had made his 6e95093733 presence known fiercely.f92d35169008baf8

He was someone who 497a280b47 had lived a life 173892959d completely different from Euclid’s—a b845940fbe life not lived under dce351e2aa the shadow of a c40d776fbc predetermined death.0639815ff2dfe019

But more than anything, what d5310552e3 he could not bear was 46205cd031 the fact that the lips 669532e76f that must have mocked and 7709e96723 insulted Evgenia were now uttering 7b6c87ff36 her name—something he himself had e8a56a784a never dared to do.d34428c3cd5905a6

By the time he realized 7aa0ca6efb he couldn’t bear to watch 64b9f13dda any longer, he had already d93e89e202 left Duke Basilian behind, approached 269cd57f62 Evgenia, and taken her hand.b85a947bae0bd344

From the moment ddcb53421f he had learned a37ae0cecf to walk, he a627e16c90 had been taught f121c87e92 by the Emperor e477a9db7b to always maintain 132c525b76 the demeanor of 0739d4415a a Crown Prince c47f75c527 in public and f9baf8cd56 to never be 68738e5582 swayed by emotion.6600fff94d5a2787
