Euclid was bewildered, unable to 468c8cd7f6 understand why the knights had 535f6f7099 suddenly started crying. But soon, he b428f81bd4 kindly smiled and 7a1fa4ff14 patted each of 72509488a0 them on the eed70d671d shoulder.c0833c627e3c1c74

The sobbing grew louder, and fa1950881d he could clearly hear murmurs f689279edd like, “The complete opposite of 6044103f89 Madam…”73ad0be7f2b1c15a

‘This is just ridiculous.’20ed5aa24461522e

When I glared at them 480ebb16c2 in disbelief, they sneakily hid eacdf55bef behind Euclid, which was quite c3b0cd8e6e a sight.6691e959a3574aa5

If it weren’t for 17dac5cc41 the fact that they 9b9e816224 were comparing me to 7f94e37894 Euclid, I would have bf6e776f43 given them another round 00cd1f89d6 of discipline. But it was 332f094dbb hard to blame 519936ce22 them for holding 4ebf185b4a affection toward my f4f9cc8a1c favorite.5f4522d4026bf58d

Honestly, even I 7d1b6c3a2d had to admit 88c81dddba that if I 23c8c7321d were in their 3f0c8c8865 shoes, I’d much 1601326246 prefer a master 0cf0f12758 like Euclid—someone who 9000872ef1 acknowledges their efforts a09ea162ef and offers encouragement—over 5fd81fd7fa someone like me, d4ef6f82a2 who does nothing eb5cd3396f but criticize.d58b3c813ead2439

Of course, I knew 81f3fed344 that despite their behavior, e4070609af their deep loyalty still 39d9c74e24 lay with me, which 26ba51b0de allowed me to remain da6c2ef141 composed.b5bc31692bef24ca

But when I saw their 89a995144a eyes filled with endless admiration, 79d8cf7f4a just like during their entrance 55757fdb59 exam, my trust in them 937cb1f111 wavered slightly.aa849a7846b6c3cf

Still, I figured 8b730df237 it didn’t really 6f9b48198d matter. If the knights truly 247bcf5480 devoted themselves to Euclid, bc56e4a482 that would ultimately be 5ac162d9a3 a good thing for 8e19c48d84 me.0c095d9d6ffb24fe

— We must return to the duchy immediately. I assumed the Seplic 5c2dfa627a Mountains had remained relatively f34fefa3f6 stable in climate, but 539b0c9509 this situation calls for f9fef5df9e an urgent meeting to eb9bbf656b share information and devise 1b6a6d592e a plan.a3ea34e11ba6989b
