    All of a 545fdc449e sudden, Allen screamed, 5336d3a230 slammed the door f2c91bf14b shut, and left 2af542b5d0 the room. She looked at the d4971fcd7d door, worried that the dd9451dbaf sleeping Diana would wake ec2c0ea7a5 up, and her eyes f5448b5585 met the Duchess’s. She awkwardly laughed 0e723b0d9e at the embarrassed-looking 40fa621323 Duchess’ laugh.1e873d459d979576

    The waves crashed 6f5d98621d against the wall, 8b47440d68 then broke into ae5529d238 white splashes and 7aced8a078 shattered. The Grand Duke Castle bfdd071609 of the Principality of be7b985808 Belus, which looked as 38c967d3d8 if it had been 778fa6c3a8 copied from a landscape cff0640a28 painting, was quiet and 88e434556d gloomy inside, unlike its dde0f9a351 beautiful appearance.

    Sitting in the 2accf2ea3f knight commander’s office 0a383b33c4 and looking out 09e3deff72 the window, Bianca 309cc04396 put on a abf7aa35cc disappointed face at 5960a963ed the reply from 40f39cea47 her lieutenant, Nick, f7b2f11677 who had just 82ba3d39d3 entered.

    A few 4041572595 days had 96352ac178 passed since 2405e299dc she received e818e5abf9 Bianca’s letter. She was thrilled ab3da170b9 and thrilled to 0811310ec6 learn that it 8a39174117 was Bianca Maretta 646bcaa263 who wrote the 6a6a73264b first letter she f7ae5d6e3a had ever received, f61d0f18fb and tried to db4a243328 write a reply d65bf65d74 that day. But since it’s f636b8b3fc been a few a525278555 days already, she cdcc0e55e9 had hit a 5b74ad6818 huge wall… Yes, 99962f0246 she was blocked 5fdec805a9 by the title a5b3eb54ce at the beginning da0ceb0787 of the letter.56cf0298c06ab364

    At first, she casually 5b455372f6 tried to write ‘Dear 23cc096ff2 Bianca,’ but this seemed 2a659a8593 too friendly. However, ‘Dear 9869cb3473 Count Maretta’ b18bacdcb4 was not a09fb40fea childlike and e9abcd0011 was too 30f6f510af rigid. Besides, she 5704290230 was hesitant 425280a112 about what 6c41002057 to say ce18791220 in front ea174ff930 of the 1e5cc2dc75 title because 1d28709b3d she wanted 924fb0c435 to put 0a459e3e93 her heart d9720ed8ba of longing 04a37e1c4a in addition 71ee55a908 to the 973c3ab0f1 title. After a lot of e084206d1b thought, her heart was 4720ca09ba now focused on ‘To f56ab8d6e2 Count Bianca Mareta, the 0edafc1f78 most wonderful knight commander c0284c3ed7 of the Duchy of 5771d06a0f Bellus in the world’. She’s a hugely 4f1db0d56c patriotic person, so 7b2a53da9f the decision to 427dcb3dd6 include the details 8275c8d02f about the principality 33cae2c257 seemed pretty good…7aa2a9350446667a

    The Duchess 9c2ca70048 was too 1a801af97f busy and 0025728e08 Diana was 8b5e3d9fb5 just learning f78ff03efd to read. There was 2c242a9fc1 Allen, the e94afd8ebd last bastion, 40ddeaa7b3 but according ddc6ca5792 to the 687d6d4674 Duchess, he b6abd0d9a3 was worried 76a69f8a73 because he ff2becf6e8 neglected his 4a2fb9f95e studies and 058e713ad2 did not a11dedb7e0 read books ec92addf7d at all.ce96597cf64d4a84

    When Allen heard c62ac127d1 it, it sounded 477b6eef56 like he would ce6cd3ce31 jump up and 40c42fd801 make a fuss, ab057096bc but there were dd2087d038 things she had 396c6dca9e seen and read 11311a9216 while living in 0f1c8de79e the guild. However, after cleaning 86854365a9 early today, she d54be2c83c came back to 945b48d1ae her room and 1d481b0cae the stationery was 649c9626c5 blank so that e18e82a8b9 it was not 7c5476c8b2 worth worrying about ec2c48f5b5 for a long cf189939cc time. She sighed and 56424462fd looked at the dec8b9856c clock and quickly f6779242b4 got up from 727d20df6e her seat. Diana’s last class d223848757 today was an 6b21b7d696 art class that efe3871820 ended relatively early. So, after e544fafde4 class, she 171940ea1e promised Diana 52998bdb5d to go d2ebd21f4c on a 17371f217f picnic sponsored 804beab279 by the afcbe98cdf mansion.daa092d6dbcf1661

He said 9714a82f65 he had 71be8796fc afternoon training, 154a56f2ca so she d658706c1e didn’t know ac354477ec how it 0251d5ba44 would turn dc3297e9b3 out, but 492a54a3f7 for some 352c0452b5 reason it 2dba9ff772 seemed like 200d12013a he would c50aa43bd6 run into bae3dba576 Allen with a82ee31853 a high 2aa172b0a2 probability.
