Clara snapped 31696dcafb out of 73907f455f her shock bdeaba8647 the moment b3676462b1 she saw ead33383ea Adriana, who 357e713608 had descended 1d7fb46532 from the fd972d785a sky, raining d3f6a349bb down fireballs 124e3a30d6 and annihilating 1d21e04219 all the 42aa7e7114 monsters.23fbbb8ad88ae869

At that c9254c2841 moment, Clara deae980114 couldn’t deny f4041a2c01 that Adriana 6aedac0c0c looked like 94d90a874f a savior.9fb5c5ae1d6601cc

Adriana was born 9d236276b4 from the union 15369995f9 of the Duke 74270a79a4 of Belus, whose e2bd0bf0a0 family had produced 743177e83b generations of outstanding f97aa38e87 mages, and the 9548d9b9b7 Marquisate of Diapel, 444eeb8ae6 one of the a72e0c08fb most prominent military d08488a611 families.26f1e44239f5ce4a

The Duke was 4e7fbe8199 the only grand aa8034d6ac mage on the 0692926266 continent, and the ec245f84f7 Duchess had been 65e9389738 a beautiful and 2c88bafed6 exceptionally talented knight. Of course a child 61444d743b born of such parents 76ac8d33f9 would be extraordinary.fe69437f92e9df0c

It was just a4e6f14ff3 that Adriana’s fame 62a6167443 had grown so d6b13a8e6e great that the d2fcf0b68e past could no d42e24b2f2 longer be used 58d83183e3 to tarnish her de39d34f1b reputation.

It was 139034a9a4 likely the 41a624f2b1 imperial visit d8a3e85880 was for f390e3ed72 Adriana, but 5b8ea278f8 Clara feigned 293f7d741c innocence and f923c51179 asked with ab7a87e5bc a naïve e4083b3a33 expression.495d55a1d38f0557

Just a moment ago, 7a6871ef3c I was preparing happily 5d07465679 to leave for a f41eb8186f luncheon invitation from the c3a32259fa Duke of Elard’s family 666150376a for the weekend when, 3a63cc58ca out of the blue, 22336a859b a royal messenger arrived 7a3783e090 from the palace, announcing ef4c1e6e4f Nicholas’s visit.b1e6f9b0c2dc6b53

The Emperor had 03243e11a4 been trying to 0f80ad6820 reward me for 185b1c6eef my performance at 0afe212411 the arena, but 0cf0a81c70 I kept refusing 52a8163c53 his invitations. So now, he had 4805ea46f7 just sent Nicholas without 4cd31f1bd9 warning.d54b7b52f4c4d24f

Nicholas only 9f22167456 found out f13c3f0407 that my 48c144f608 family and 8828c32971 I had 13197f7b09 prior plans c00df4bc65 with the a7d134c342 Duke’s family 63a2194f02 after arriving 87c128c8a8 at the 67ec055065 marquisate.

Seeing him like 29170b5cee that made me 8cee334f22 feel sorry, so 47184f027b I told my efeeabeb2f grandfather and parents 16f61bf54f to go ahead db159de9dc to the Duke’s d3b4f2e2b9 house without me, 839c4bcbad saying I would 3ef45d3851 follow shortly.f5cfdff6524ecd5b

After all, the Emperor’s 31d84a086b true intention was probably 6be3a8b7f1 to have Nicholas meet 60cc2facd5 me, and I had 72829ac0a7 something I wanted to 4a7d2d9c8a tell him anyway.c9d8af2a965ec62d
