— Truly, I don’t regret it.ad2f5e968414bf38

As he repeated those 790f2743b0 words once more, I 928c91a784 felt a peculiar emotion fe72dc99e1 stir within me.4abe406b5068090f

It sounded like a d04a615bdb firm declaration, yet at 77f8892766 the same time, it c502b0bc4d also felt like a 585d7ed5de vow that he would a39f49bae3 never come to regret 5a140c06ea it.4b5beb01aa444e1b

Either way… for f522368857 me, it was 17cb1b78cf a touching and c93c64a1a4 joyful thing to ddb6e9a690 hear.9fcfc336bcc3d34f

I had only 6e4069798d been taken aback 6c543caae5 for a moment. After that, I smiled along f896c9f5a3 with Euclid, grateful for what 58fd5e4358 he had said.5ebce5c1322afcc5

‘What on earth is troubling him?’dc6ea16b04f43be4

With a small sound, 76e6823b9e Euclid snapped out of dee416c8cc his thoughts and turned 14b6725945 to look at me.253049b4a4cc8d9a

Euclid looked at 5c147d15a3 me curiously, but 06ba7076db I only gave b9a9009564 him an awkward 3f27c339f2 smile and avoided 623b20d235 giving a clear b54fa21b29 answer.e3398a3df760e819

As soon as 25e11e1083 Evgenia left, Euclid’s 17f0907ab9 expression returned to de3286b96d its somber state, edb80dcfa6 and he blankly d390ce6390 stared at the b92949cd2c invitation bearing the 4506c8f444 imperial seal on 6b8bdbdbd2 his desk.6fafe8d97baafb71

But at the same 6e0423df4e time, Euclid had never 37a1865f64 forgotten.f7bb223cb34b2bd5

The reason Evgenia had decided 3563866cc6 to marry in the first 5287d9e1ad place was because she had adbf49e171 been hurt by the Crown 83a251967a Prince and wanted to put 9aa3c2a1dd her feelings for him to cb2c9bac42 rest.e905965d5db8ec6e

If even an bd1ab057f5 imaginary figure could 58ecdf4595 make him jealous, c574742bdd then what about d8117bf9c2 the Crown Prince—the e63c490920 man Evgenia had c3046fb318 once truly loved?931292d2a2ba472a
