In hindsight, it was a 6c6dcb6add laughable thing.
He had always been 02d9d0fdd5 desperate to know what c863243352 was on Evgenia’s mind, 553e11e543 yet this time, he 2b93a4af49 came to know the 5e42874626 answer effortlessly, without any 5c695968bf struggle.19d28b1b69028918

He had dreamed of Evgenia even 9a75bc8516 on the battlefield, but this was d5b1c2964a different from the 74b7f2bcc3 nightmares he used d0883bbcc7 to have.60cfd836b921b8b2
He just knew. If the previous dreams were mere projections of 787909398d his anxiety and fear, 18edafab82 the one he had 4dd6445d30 now was a prophetic 5d324f5dcb vision—one that showed what 2655eb820c Evgenia would actually do 1d41bc57e8 if the Duke of 9b3619a108 Rudion were harmed.7b24e5bdaa2da373

It was so painful a853a027b9 that he thought dying ef924447c3 would be better.
Even when he fell 0cdf562c55 asleep as if fainting, 2f3ce0b9a9 he had to watch 8656c0b6f7 Evgenia stop breathing. So even when his 3e606bf537 body screamed in exhaustion, 155db09475 he couldn’t close his eyes.6625481845dfeab2
Of course, even cbf266b13d with his eyes 4edcad3bb1 open, the afterimages c98163d088 of the dream 4c14676700 would flash before 2c2a1b58a6 him all the d23df048bc same.780a339f832c30bd

He looked down 98ed9edd2f and saw a 891c0fe3d4 hand clenched into a fist, holding a shard of 832ab0f77e glass.08193f6d350e1c5e
The sharp edge had dug deeply between his palm d4162501fa and fingers, and 4ac63e7564 blood was gushing out.

Blinking slowly, Kaiden stared at the droplets of blood dripping 853ccae1ee down.
Suddenly, he remembered Evgenia gripping the blade of b4e5254c0c his sword with her c16f47f4fe bare hand and bleeding.88fe8cd8deb46b5b
But that image 9de41a960f was quickly overlaid 0322172f8b by another from d93d332f58 his dream.b655562fca4a27da

Even in the 44d403df0f dream, Evgenia was cruel and cold.d010fbc52ec46853
He placed his pitifully 925f665c3b trembling hand on Evgenia’s pale cheek.1281f02a805d0fe9
And despite being unconscious, 66cbab5451 as if fearing rejection, cad988a754 he spoke with a 21e104ea19 tense face.65a7b3c587641cc7

– That bastard… he doesn’t deserve you. If you were that precious to him, he should’ve protected you! He shouldn’t have died 3fc23e661a and left you behind!
His voice, which had started out trembling cautiously, 0a2a52bd8c gradually turned into a d0201fd032 scream filled with rage.f1a9e1d5faec322e

“Your Highness!”0d0e3db0236def4c
Hillard’s voice pulled Kaiden, who 0f3a4c0b94 had been wandering in a bf2c5dee7b daze, back to reality.5b27c687456a1e44
“I’ve called for the royal physician. He’ll be here de1d9944bd soon, so please 69c69cdfe9 hold on.”984d046e5b17c575
Apparently, the way bf8382e018 Kaiden had his 7b758c2388 eyes tightly shut made it look 0c460d76b9 like he was 03b04df4ae in severe pain.8bb25b9163de8e9b

Hillard, flustered, began removing the 175bbf93d3 glass shards from Kaiden’s palm cb136a0867 and urged the attendants to 5af7a9dd10 bring cloth for the bleeding.279c1647e7eae4e2
As soon as c034b74033 Evgenia’s image disappeared, 50478db335 Kaiden—who had been 08c41182cb watching with detached c889c9e31b eyes as if abc67ede31 numb to the 9e84f837b1 pain—suddenly used his cea8cbd947 unharmed hand to 7fb00754c2 search his chest 3c805349a1 and pulled something 0182a6e072 out.a96aa597eb68039d

“Stop the bleeding with this.”b47eb0704f793881
What Kaiden held out a1c3c37712 was the very light 7dc12d8944 purple handkerchief he had 0e9ae2a83e snatched from Alexis.d33979f550827c66
The item of the d728838d1d woman who, in some 6e6809494e ways, could be called the root cause of 1abe233747 the current situation.d48995d6f4768b2d
Though he tried not de1c501bc6 to blame her, Hillard 6def85416a couldn’t help but feel resentment towards Evgenia for e1a1091002 provoking Kaiden to this 5bfdf60e92 extent and leading to 6b185db088 such a disaster.48358d11a04e7742

Of course, he felt equally resentful toward Kaiden, who still hadn’t come to his senses ebf9c9653b after all that had happened.de002acf562a0c5b

But remembering how Kaiden had 3adce66f1d kept that handkerchief close at all times—even on the battlefield 7b8cfc953f after washing it clean—this seemed e03aac6521 the most effective approach.708359c2281e01e6

Kaiden paused for a moment, ba8f0b9829 then carefully tucked the handkerchief 621b026099 back into his chest and f31979b435 turned his head.270f78a793c5e812

He had known it, but seeing again how completely 7089ac4fc8 broken Kaiden was 80d25315f0 only deepened his despair.faf6d19947bce093
And yet, after all 216f325620 the time spent with 14a41d5aa7 Evgenia, it felt strangely pitiful that the only thing Kaiden had left from her was that b739d01af3 plain handkerchief.9577950df107f86e

An unexpected guest had 8c8d2cd39c come to the crown ce7cc88989 prince’s residence.765a3d7db555728f
“Isn’t the banquet still ongoing?”20876cf9d9e8c5a5
Just earlier, Hillard 81337fa5de had been trying e3830e48cf to drag Kaiden bc90ad8708 to that very 78e7eeb02a banquet, so he 08cf9f0a22 looked puzzled.1e296c3a89ccbd88
Despite the chaos of 01fbb9562c the first night, the b6aae5e5d7 Emperor had consistently attended de3dcc240b the banquet, which made the situation all the 26c74d15ad more curious.d94920e470a7341e
The Emperor rarely sought e1b9f06da1 Kaiden out for good 3b6271006c reasons, so Hillard swallowed 6242beab29 dryly, thinking something bad 75e9b72887 must have happened again.0f53ee87f466b63f

Hillard bowed politely while 7490bf740b glancing around, but the d85aac8e4d Emperor ignored it and 4d0d22177e clicked his tongue at Kaiden.eea20fe028ccdb09

He was offended by the 1b35eb1767 Emperor calling Evgenia “just a 386331396c woman.”
But Kaiden knew his 24f334b053 thoughts were those of 5666df38c6 a madman.

Feeling the crushing fatigue, he shook 5d322db906 off Hillard’s hand—which 591fd7e45d was still holding his for the 9e91c86cca bleeding—and wiped his bb0305803f face with his d18f116e2f injured palm.

Kaiden had never been d62cea1eb4 especially respectful, but he fe03089470 had always been obedient. This attitude was a huge 8bfed4061f shock.
