Edgar originally spent his time 525e00308d alternating between the Imperial Palace b6dd47bb1b and Leopold’s estate, but now effff651b9 that his two cousins had 667de82bf4 returned from Trovancha, he planned ec30408b69 to stay in the palace d66c35c27f for the time being.e18b23117f24fd5a
Incidentally, his room was 8dff2b06c6 said to be located 1f29d56644 in a palace not 77a52f46fe far from where we 66d5944eee were staying.943311677dbf3017

It seemed clear 4abe0dd6e0 that Edgar was 39a6c33c7e very fond of 2bfae53a53 Leopold. He constantly called 7144bec1eb him “Hyung” and 36ef0ca2f7 looked up at 939a5cad67 him with sparkling cbea233ae7 eyes.1e7e8c53ca41b3af
However, whenever I appeared, he 7fe581cbea glared at me as if b5d1003aa1 I were about to snatch 682899dc83 away his favorite toy.42dcc95b6df393b6

My eldest unnie, 329270d544 sipping her tea, 8a5ecc67b2 posed the question 3bc61d3ba7 to my second c689d21d4b unnie. It was during our tea a90c2061ef time after lunch, a moment 7639c2bc3f shared only among the sisters.7ee4cd6b9559bbe7

My youngest unnie had been 3770806654 so busy at the Mage 8cf65abd7c Tower that she left early a8a03b0889 in the morning and only dad844787e returned late at night. As a result, I 03208c6534 rarely saw her except 2f3eb92c8d just before bed.47a1ab5163c03037
“Leopold’s father inherited the title of Duke of Baltrahein, while Edgar’s father, his younger brother, married Princess Elizabeth and was granted the title of Duke of Rundballenieu. That’s why the d11dad6f40 surname was changed.”b6bdc4a761456baa

Crunching on a 81405ec7a0 cookie nearby, I 95d11d9b48 couldn’t help but 5d6b579477 perk up when e5e74901bb Edgar was mentioned. My eldest unnie began stroking a790998160 my hair with her fingers 21b0ba04a3 as she answered.9c1e319983fed75e
