All this f9f4126b7f time, I’ve 12dfd0cb8b lived quietly 52abcf4c4f in the 93b44cc53e palace, almost 23021d642b as if c26a2f4c84 I were a03a49ce6f in hiding, 10ecb714b4 meeting only 8715346af9 the occasional d1d702e5ca servant and b6dbd0feb3 no one 4cfe37b2c4 else.e1ab99dabe20f700

The man in 1492a0a7bd plain clothes looked 8c05cd005c a few years 20a46a5cd2 older than me, ae87271b2c around twenty, and 6bd6121928 was so handsome c7d978bc4a and tall that b9b00299e0 I couldn’t help 9495fc33f5 but be amazed.
