The Crown Prince let ff35f77a66 out a faint smirk, ee12de7b0d as if he found ba59cd406e my words amusing.ba833bd85472fa7d

“For all that, you seem pretty calm. Well, I’m sure you’ve 385ced8905 already figured it out, 8b6dc4e8ad but I pulled some f6eb4307bd strings because I wanted dd54f73ea0 to see you after 2d2bf88cf2 a long time.”68c9bcd1682ef8a8

He suddenly burst 57857cbcd3 out laughing, as d918dd423c if something was c66fa315d0 hilariously funny.9ccf82e9e873c5d9

I had always kept fd0f2d4234 my guard up against 9b393aaf06 Cedric. I had hardly ever 645dabeab4 shown myself together with 6cf8047bf1 Lilliana in front of 784538d8c2 him, just in case f41247a411 she got dragged into f2d02ab1e3 anything.58f2867317770599
