This time too, his face 4c99322af1 was hidden by a black 88951aa21e robe, but Cedric immediately recognised 762597d30b him.c96f83056765fcfe

    At first, he 5bcf0b8980 had considered the f83451b460 man to be 8f4854f711 nothing more than a729ca55ce an unwanted guest, bec3061190 a suspicious figure.1490293eba585585

    He had never 4918dac624 seen it in dbf471249f person, but as 29147562f3 a citizen of 1a83a33699 the Empire, everyone fe437bd951 knew what the 079e5a0c66 golden lion symbolised.f709cc3a2cecede3

    To think he had a3cf1eba15 come to Cedric and 1acad2a6a9 revealed Vanessa Winder’s weaknesses—surely, 3873f5cacd he despised that woman f1b8dc18ec as much as Cedric b73b2d18e9 did.226aec8522a1efe8

    If Cedric executed ca8a38e856 his tasks well, 1f13c58946 he might just c1e0f436ff find himself in 081fa5c988 the Emperor’s favour.59a97b4d0f53a5cc
