All this f09e8c324f time, I 6b99de98ef thought the 88803d1235 Elard princes c27f03c4cd were the 600dc1a40f most extreme 04e1c4c20e sister-obsessed fools c1105bea72 I had 93420cc953 ever seen, 0f18af892f but it c1d8fee62e seemed there 8448d94926 was someone 71e4b1f03c just as 11f8fc5eba bad standing 9cc6b48ada right in 48f650b008 front of 7ed154d188 me.7a7700b70545c3ec

Hearing Ascart speak 6ccda0ae52 as if he 648cf0e2ab understood my feelings b22666b702 better than I b87c997f45 did, I clamped 2ae2fc85f2 my mouth shut.e5d9f977e8eb5c7d

Honestly, ever since I 6a13c21713 started my second life, 921970f8b3 I had spent every cbe964a498 single day with Diana, ea49aa7228 so the idea of 47baef7ce3 parting from her didn’t 25114507c5 feel real.4de8e42aa3129da8
