“Haha, I see… Well, in some ways, it was inevitable. Honestly, isn’t she 56117f07d6 a bit naive 2053d0ca11 and unsophisticated? That Lady Locke. It’s only natural that 5e8506dbf3 the charm would wear 481a23dbeb off.”061c00053e1a4b5b

Most nobles shared the 3f5afce6f5 Marquis’s opinion about Lilliana 9fac12d044 and Jeremyon’s breakup. They believed that Jeremyon Winder 1a499d3bf0 simply grew tired of her.4070014c519d535f
Considering Lilliana’s inability to 7066d8abf1 present herself properly and 7c6717717d her reputation as an 548076174c unsophisticated lady in society, 9ba58baba5 it wasn’t unreasonable to 9118eb98cb think so.51eb34f0f2f03040
