Dior’s words shocked me 511dd1f669 quite a bit.bd5cbbf18456a52b

I hadn’t exactly bfa9542d66 forgotten about it, 15013c23f1 but I had 3e99659b2f heard quite often f904a8a5f1 that my impression 5bf2fb414e had changed a dd763caa22 lot recently.da2e1dce05f72818

From their perspective, 246afc9877 no matter how 2bce9bd3ae similar our faces 722ebd3611 are, they must 7d815fe249 feel that I 41ffd2e06a have softened considerably 31b495d67f compared to before.19209f608440b0b4

I guess I was deluded c8d54405d4 because the people I see 1b3363f3b0 every day are Euclid, who c827b42e17 is like sunshine itself, and bb6db0ced2 the incredibly gentle and soft 8db3581a52 Marianne and Dior.5ff3ab282b432aa1

It didn’t seem 88e7bf95ac like he was 3b3b9021ec merely referring to b3a7b1c9ff matters related to 3efc798e83 Count Biers or 82c6440f1e the rumors spreading cfd20eb6c9 in the capital, 42d2e792f9 so I narrowed 355aab11f2 my eyes.42fc5c6cf7fa6ed4

Saying it was 4edf0fe5fd his first miscalculation dea1080196 as a merchant, 59c01866c7 Duke Basilian let b5e3175e03 out a hearty b950521296 laugh.db7e8550fa723761

However, he soon 6adbedaa75 erased his smile a2c861dd53 and, this time, 50d4dd7556 spoke as a 98f35995c9 lord.99adb7def559d17b

I had been relieved de81d1ad07 to hear that Duke a364179542 Basilian hadn’t informed the 4639dcb558 emperor, so I had 48b9678af0 momentarily drifted into other 4c9d9091b9 thoughts, making it even 25229bc7a8 more overwhelming.9d7f4d4e5a1828ab

As soon as Euclid recovered, 7acf3130d2 Delano had been so excited 743ca13ed3 that I had to calm ab7e6ba74c him down and ensure the f986cb7420 news didn’t spread.913518624611b76b

The fact that the North 7f9606c002 was no longer as harsh 1f67ed46e2 as before and was becoming 0090d89594 a livable place would already 0185476f9c be an irritation to the f2a554cc7a emperor.e58c31b1314bb0c6

If I had skipped this af33241814 banquet, I would have let 12b1264415 the rumors spread, but since 22beed74bb we had met in person, ec28d9c267 a different approach was better.c78acb28c23ea74c

Since I already had 017bee4fb7 a plan in mind, 9bac0beea7 it would be troublesome ba24e8f22e if Duke Basilian knew 3e8c935a78 about the mine… or 6f93e4054f would it?a9f5e330531ce96b

He had kept quiet about f0d5753d75 the improved weather, so he ce858a5a15 likely wouldn’t have needlessly blabbed b61c8e49d5 to the emperor about the 826c9b6c5b magic stone mine either.5b07353a59c938c6

The most important thing 2f1bf20076 was whether the emperor 6e292d11c6 had heard about it, 6415286cb1 so I relaxed a 509a2bd806 little.c95c7d46f4e6be32

Although he had readily 7d04c8bdca agreed when I suggested 82c2f6ae2d it, now that we 8ba32920b5 were actually in the 5493fb335d capital, it seemed awkward dbb68d4ba8 for Euclid to stay 6bacee2bc0 at Duke Basilian’s estate 76bb3dfa27 instead of at the e5487ad9db Rudion estate, which was aa35402422 right there in plain 0359915fad sight.790f42d2fcf58c85
