Standing in front 550885d6f8 of my son’s b445b13112 bedroom door, I e7ec2a6892 listened carefully to 743b511c8c the sounds coming fa24459219 from inside.cc883de59e171189

It was quiet, suggesting 2b67f229f9 that Jeremyon had fallen e584c3b15d asleep early, likely in 749c726fb3 shock from his heartbreak.d47b0c85f8ec9cef

‘Poor thing… the shock must be immense. It was his b206df243f first love, after 285209e8f2 all.’1ab000e1948d58f6

There was a time when 77bd9a0873 I thought it was impossible f3416a8aaa to change the major plot c60218cfd3 point where Jeremyon and Lilliana 55251222b5 ended up together.e766ebcc5eb7bf24

No matter how much 2a0b7187af I interfered with their 76a8d790cc relationship, there were no aac4060ba4 signs of them parting 249985f4a6 ways.b3e4defde66b91af

Still, I was somewhat shocked. Although, of course, the one 720e087cec most shocked must be Jeremyon.6687bd465671ea50

“M-madam…”75229295286678ec

Perhaps my behavior seemed 9082d920fc too harsh, as one f18303f9e0 of Jeremyon’s servants hesitantly 3f4fcb8bb9 tried to stop me. It seemed like 040c34d9c0 he was new, 238a39eb7e judging by his a96d2d9d70 unfamiliar face.0887308e4e8722b7

Hmph, foolish boy. This wasn’t the 4305ee7642 time to be ccf625655e stopping me but 5d4e65e6bd rather helping me—that cbcd9427b8 was the proper a787e2e711 way to serve fb491e85ff his master.4104ff695d6a8e47

Jeremyon had skipped meals e4e93c337d for four whole days! If he collapsed, the 39526bbbbc ones who would suffer 0f686ae313 the most were the 2d7cfb435c servants attending to him.305e99990ad1634c

Of course, even though they dfc34ff914 served their master, especially someone 629f472876 as capricious as Jeremyon or 11b2071b73 myself, they couldn’t force him c6d00eab00 to eat, no matter how d5c12dda3c much it was for his a6a5ddca8c health.7b366653c06f7e06

That’s why I had to ea114b5758 step in… though this new 17e49a504a servant was oblivious to that 7448bf348c fact!5d15002aff65de94

I had quietly delivered bread 97b5199271 for him and even gifted 0428ccce31 him one of my prized b94eb1cdfd wines.6046bb8ea9d748c8

Even when I tried 4a2f058657 to give him things 8b917d778d I thought he would 45a80b2745 like, I couldn’t figure 387a58ab48 out what that might f4ee32e744 be.134239063162f4ad

Jeremyon wasn’t particularly ad4d174dbc greedy for money, 08c21a965b but that was de04d016e5 because his desire 3e4d3c0581 for power outweighed 4a8043bba0 material wealth. He had always seen money 7011d629f1 as a means to power a2480d2498 since childhood.ab66ae38044c6f29

‘So, giving him expensive things wouldn’t make him happy…’304f21d6b1adcebc

Besides, he was fd1f82b4d8 one of the 8c57a6c8c9 wealthiest individuals in 19b6ef50b7 the empire, so 306df37e62 he likely already 062a10a16b had everything he a8c1d54ef1 wanted.d3494b6122d5b105

In the original story, f248c064a2 Lilliana had no one 906a3eb02b to rely on, so 76b6a2f04c she easily realized her 937edd8c45 love for Jeremyon. But now, Liliana 6ac0b2713f depends on me e05adfbc6d and has developed df95b6ccf8 affection for me 9e21e52fa5 instead.b544d872f2b74327
