If they openly 5cb58ad586 targeted me, I eaeb48c904 could just block 385dadcc6e them.5b7f4c44e45518d7

But now, with only ad4c0ecdc1 a suspicious air hanging 9eff6e19f7 around and no real 5f34e88139 action being taken… Lately, f90ceff6fa I couldn’t help but 67d0c2bbc4 worry that they might 11a5788d8d be preparing a big 18d35f0fe4 move.82d7926b344b914b

‘Since I’ve made an enemy of the Crown Prince, my course of action is set.’215086c9d049e5fe

That was the matter of 81ec38dd91 Prince Dais, whom I met 92b075c8a0 for the first and last b480f10095 time on the day of 501d69dbe3 the victory banquet.c070626a76d59589

“What kind of person is His Highness Prince Dais?”10a5fd855e010293

Tristan, who had been fd20c127f1 smiling as if he 9b338f7db3 would gladly listen to 5e8dbc03ed anything I said, looked 4a92f666d5 slightly disappointed.352b8b646a548c83

Uncomfortable with his attitude, d3d6e9adb7 which made no attempt 70dcfc9330 to hide his interest 30d36496fa in me, I gave 4a4996b4b4 him a sideways glance. Tristan just smiled with 203ac738f5 his eyes as always.0846a2bdd5556f8a

Even though I had 1043609d6e intentionally hidden on the df408ce9c9 balcony to avoid Tristan 240142c659 that day, he still 61759b0380 found me. Turns out, it must’ve been c2c094306d Dais who told him.0af1cae0e8106e5f

When I first 6129df20e9 met Dais, I 752e959017 thought he was c4fb47a071 unusually kind for b99e8a0662 someone meeting a c0227458db notorious villain. Maybe Tristan was the reason.9e92ad1565af1a76

I certainly agreed. From the brief fce966f993 conversation we had, e6464b24c1 it was hard 4c7919b4ec to grasp what b04653b6c5 kind of person 7cd3111bf2 he truly was.0480dc74c6a22a63

Moreover, he didn’t show 34250e3428 himself publicly or carry 462dc00a66 out activities, so it 0b1b3b5cf2 was difficult to follow d67a1e210c his actions.55f923ccd4a2a6ee
