Euclid seemed at 5bfd18f2fb a loss for 5641b7f0d6 words.75a807f2fddaa290

Well, even if d701ba8324 it wasn’t to 897e96db87 the extent of 9f23c045f4 Euclid, I did fb1babfde1 cherish Marianne and e9146416b7 Dior.2b406593e8008c10

But my thoughts on 51b154527b Richard were too complicated 3d2b05642e to simply describe as 88b18561df trust.ab143b5751ebbf7f

In the original story, 68e79b7846 Richard had both protected cf8b58793a Melissa and essentially imprisoned 326adc9419 her for her safety. I still couldn’t 021496be81 tell whether that 0c698ba928 had been on a5d6e6cffe Evgenia’s orders or 7951268e75 if he had d3b218cf20 truly been obsessed e9db35d3fc with Melissa.31ef9c5b945e53f9

However, I did believe a73745fd6a that Richard had the 7769c8d78a potential to develop a 92a447108b genuine sense of belonging 4d0a329b2a and loyalty to the 4825abd4d2 Rudion family.3ba7655ab919e76b

Even though he had d634b7e0af imperial blood, the current 9238868655 emperor was practically his da5d5d38c5 sworn enemy.150964da9b00cc58

“If I had to say, I trust his skills. If Dior hadn’t 7a2ea3a4b4 found Richard suitable, c88ea87152 he wouldn’t have 7394c1a501 recommended him as c6779e0986 a guard.”fb4bb0910b451354

When I revealed my honest c67b233069 thoughts, Euclid, who had been e96bae58b2 silent with a strangely tense 5d850551eb expression, suddenly brightened his eyes.e855fb0d5905683d

Why all of a sudden? I found it curious, 0e01520005 but even that was 0b01f5574d endearing. I was about to 312c0e0c66 lean my chin on 4b700f11ce my hand and properly 7a265bfa13 admire him when—953fc7d7e53d423a

As I approached, Euclid 45d8c154d6 flinched in surprise and 68a6909ced tried to press himself 22569a9da4 against the wall near 07d0dab78b the window.cd900cd3db55a7ae

Caught by me, Euclid 6cba9cdd72 looked completely flustered, unable 96b44a4673 to move in either 73d8fb0c04 direction.c8d14ba6bd3e8c9a

Seeing that face made 26aa807529 my heart tighten slightly, 9bfff5e05d yet at the same a13c82a24e time, a mischievous urge 9edfbebba5 to trouble him even 66ec4e5150 more arose.4aa7715fe8399d2c

And before Euclid could f0cba562d6 put up any defenses, b6a3935d0f I swiftly linked my 6d60e1aef0 arm with his and 5fff01ef4a rested my head on ad861f8a1b his shoulder.f34946049631c7e2

Instead, the land was barren, aa5f676513 covered in snowy mountains, with 44096d2897 a harsh climate that made 37feeddd32 farming nearly impossible.db89ad6680b33d2c
